Weekly Symptoms Sept 23-29

Haven't seen this thread for this week or last, so I took the liberty of doing this week. Hope that's ok!

I took the day off work today because of a debilitating headache this morning. It felt like someone was wringing my bran inside of my skull. It's a little better now thankfully, but what was that? I've also started getting hip pains if I walk for too long. Mostly my left hip. Ugh.

danixbanani24

@grebretso yup the hip pain is the devil.  They're widening though! I guess that's the positive? lol

The tailbone and lower back pain are here with a vengeance this week. 

smallbutmighty77

Spent most of last week with stomach issues. This weekend its migraines and super congested. WFH today to try and feel better. So over feeling like crap!

allthingsgo

@grebretso I get hip pain in my left hip if I walk too much also. I think it’s just everything loosening up plus I tend to sleep on my left
side more. Regularly stretching my hips and hamstrings seems to help. 

Also about the headache, sounds like it may have been a migraine? I know those can happen during pregnancy. 

@smallbutmighty77 sorry you feel like crap this week! Especially sucks while pregnant. Hope you feel better soon! 

etnyah

@allthingsgo Yeah, I think it might have been a migraine. I've had them before, but not often at all (maybe three-four times in my life). Hopefully it's a one-off this time too, I don't want this to be a regular pregnancy symptom!

BourbonBiscuits

Migraines and STARVING all the time. I cannot eat enough food. Also puked up water this morning, so that was a fun way to start the week.

Anyone else have monstrous boobs? In the last week I've started to notice Iean forward when I walk and sit because I'm so top heavy. Thanks to that my back feels like it's breaking by the end of the day. I have an OB appt on wednesday and I need to ask her if there's anything I can do for added support. I've also broken all 4 of my pregnancy bras because they're too small. I don't know what I'll do when my milk comes in!!

I am so sick of the congestion! I just want to be able to breathe out of my nose again!!

bww_0331

@grebretso another one with hip pain here. It wasn’t this bad with DS until much later. I’m hoping more regular chiropractor visits will help ease some of it. 

I finally feel feel like my second tri energy has hit the last week or two- at least during the day! I don’t have any huge complaints as long as I stay hydrated!

kayjay44

SPD has started. Nausea and HB in full effect. I’m sick of puking. 

madreofdragons

Fucking SPD hit me about 3 weeks ago. Seriously the worst part of pregnancy for me. 

etnyah

@kayjay44 I still puke whenever I forget to take unisom. I forgot Friday and couldn't keep anything down Saturday. At least it means unisom is working for me, because I'm fine whenever I take it, but why on earth is this still happening for us?? We're almost halfway there! No fair.

kayjay44

@grebretso - yep this is on unisom, b6, zofran, Prevacid, Zantac, tums... I think that’s it. I’m half way to 38 weeks, which is the most pregnant I have ever been!

KayDami

I second the monstrous boobs comment and holy sensitive nipples! I turned over in bed the other night and I thought I ripped my nipple off. Also, I feel for anyone that is dealing with constipation but I also kind of envy you... I’m so sick of the daily stomach aches that hit me out of nowhere. Got to hear the babys heartbeat today so it makes it all worth it! 💩💩💩

cas060

I feel like i need to ask for a definition of monstrous... before i can comment 

madreofdragons

You guys are bad fucking luck, I just barfed a huge pickle and hibiscus green tea.  I really need to chew my food better.

berrygilr15

I see I'm not the only with boob pain...most of the time you can't touch them but when I get cold my left nipple hurts so bad I want to cut it off! Is it supposed to go away at some point? I'm afraid I wont be able to nurse with this pain...

madreofdragons

Eh, nursing brings its own type of nipple pain. Lol.

lifeislove87

@berrygilr15 the nipple pain doesn’t last while you are nursing (it’s just hormones), the first couple of weeks are rough but then it’s actually quite comfortable (for most people, I understand that nursing is not easy for everyone).  I’m actually nursing while pregnant and it’s sooooo painful thanks to damn pregnancy hormones, every time my daughter latches I almost jump through the roof

kayjay44

@berrygilr15 depends on the cause of the pain. I have reynauds and get vasospasms while nursing and I would take regular sensitive nipples over that any day. 

eggsandwich2019

Plus one on the congestion and headaches over here, plus so much discharge, ughhh 

megpants209

My insomnia seems to be getting worse week to week. I seriously don’t understand how it’s possible. My husband did not appreciate my attempt to be productive by doing laundry in the middle of the night  Oh and the searing lower back pain that radiates when I walk... dunno what that is but it’s a BITCH. 

Otherwise I feel good!

BourbonBiscuits

The gas is unreal. I’m ripping rancid farts in bed while my poor sweet unsuspecting husband watches football in the living room. Hope he brings his gas mask when he comes to bed ...

etnyah

Re: boobs. Mine are a little bigger, but what makes them monstrous looking are the friggin veins! They look more like hard, giant, swole, ballooning pecs than boobs at this point. It's not very attractive. 

madreofdragons

Mine don’t look super veiny until I’m nursing but it’s intense. 

changadee

Lower back pain for sure, time to book a massage therapy appointment before I end up off work again with a back injury. Which can't happen because I have precious little sick time left thanks to my first trimester... and my last back injury also hip pain, and acid reflux omg, if I lean too far forward I will spit fire I swear

danixbanani24

@kayjay44 @madreofdragons I’m slow what is SPD? Lol 

becks_726

I feel sort of odd that I don't really have anything to report right now... Fingers crossed that lasts! 

kayjay44

@danixbanani24 symphysis pubis dysfunction the front of your pelvis where the two sides join are fucked up basically. Mine just aches all day. 

thechickendance

The headaches!!  This is the third morning in a row with one and I'm not dehydrated or hungry or have any good reason.  The abdominal pulling and stretching has also been fun this week.

sjnsjnsjn

@thechickendance- I hear you about the ab (and for me way down low) pulling and stretching. I went on a walk Sunday that was a little more strenuous for me than I should have done and pains down there (I guess RLP?!) was awful! I don't really remember this part from last time. I was too consumed by thinking I was gonna die from the mystery ailment of heartburn ...

I'm breaking out of my F's right now. Which for me is super uncharted territory!

cas060

@AshleySparkle720.. okay im not far behind you at ddd (aka f)... which is unchartered for my usual itty bitty dd's.  

She told me id probably want to wait for the nursing bra since a month or so before ill upsize when the milk starts coming but im sorry, the maternity bras with no underwire are just a sloppy mess and so wrong.  I told her id take the nursing underwire and be back when it was too small.  

kayjay44

3.0 had the hiccups for the first time I've been able to feel this morning - I'm trying to enjoy it now because I know this will be miserable in a few months!

etnyah

That’s so cute @kayjay44! I haven’t felt anything like that yet, but the flutters have twice turned into definite kicks now. One was so hard I bet I would have felt it with my hand if I’d had my hand on my belly. I bet it’ll get annoying once baby’s bigger (and I’m trying to sleep), but for now it’s the best thing ever!

hannahbananas11

I've been feeling some flutters here and there each day, usually in the late evenings after supper, when I'm relaxing on the couch. It's a really weird and neat feeling! If I didn't know any better, I would think that I had a worm. I wonder how that drive-by OP is handling the flutters. Does she now wonder if she has a whole colony of worms? LOLOL

etnyah

Haha, @hannahbananas11 she must be freaking out! She probably thinks she has a whole community of worms in there. 

Its weird how how I can feel that my organs are squished around too, like on Saturday when I was puking I could feel my stomach churning, but it was way higher up in my belly than where I usually feel it. It makes perfect sense of course, but it’s so weird to actually feel all this stuff happening!

BourbonBiscuits

@grebretso just wait until baby is born!! The emptiness you feel where baby was is BIZARRE. It takes a while for your organs to settle back in place and until they do it's like this gaping hole in your mashed-potato-stomach

etnyah

@BourbonBiscuits weeeeird! Can’t say I’m looking forward to that. Reproducing is so strange! I mean, is this whole process really the best design nature could come up with??
