Has anyone had what feels like burning upper abs? The best I can describe it is like I'm doing a super intense ab workout and can't stop. It's only on my left side and it's been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks. I wake up and feel great, but halfway through the day, it starts acting up. I'm assuming it's just the muscles stretching, but I'd like it to stop.. or at least to find a way to sit/stand comfortably. Bbaaahhhhh.
@kayjay44@bellebaby221 mine is too!! I’m pretty sure when she drops she’ll be between my thighs. I carried DS pretty low, but still mostly above my belly button. This little girl is exclusively below my belly button.
Both my other kids were low and head down and had black bruises on their heads. More of the same this time. FX it means another fast (but not too fast) labor.
I just spontaneously vomited while washing my face for the night - fucking heartburn. Last night I was up with bad heartburn trying not to puke for an hour and a half and then puked anyway. H, you better be an easy ass baby.
@ksdelong20 , I've had the pleasure of this twice... and almost a handful of other times that I managed to stop as they came on. So not fun, let me tell you I haven't flown out of bed so fast in the last 26 weeks as those two times!
@ksdelong20 ughhh I woke up screaming from Charlie horses with my first. So brutal. I’m hoping this time isn’t as bad. Scared the shit out of my husband lol
@sonicearplugs I'm also getting weird abdominal pains, but mine is a sharp pain right beneath my belly button that only last for about a second, then goes away. It's happened a few times today, and it was when I was sitting down. I'm not sure if it's the abdominal muscles stretching, or something else, but it's unusual and a little stressful, since I don't know the cause.
@hnbergeron I'm sure you've tried everything, but I also find Tylenol doesn't do a damn thing for me but an ice pack alternated on my forehead/back of my neck does for sure
I'm so tired of being tired ALL THE TIME. Feeling like a lazy fat lump. I'm so tired of heartburn, nausea, vomiting, aching everywhere, and consequently being grumpy and anxious. We can skip the holidays. I'm ready for February. Bring on the newborn phase hell, I'm sick of this pregnancy shit.
@notthecheat - same here. I’ve always had tougher pregnancies and easy newborns, so I much prefer the newborn phase to being pregnant. I’m even up more at night at this point than I usually am with a newborn.
I have always suffered from Charlie horses even not pregnant to the point where I can sense one coming on and use sheer will power to make it stop in its tracks. Doesn’t always work and when it doesn’t I pop up screaming and scare the hell out of DH lol
@kayjay44 I feel ya! I didn't know to expect this! I just wish I understood why is it I can eat a donut, it stay down but heaven forbid I drink anything...
My birthday is in early January - I know I'm barely going to be able to eat, so I'm going to ask we delay my real birthday dinner until after the baby is born so I can enjoy it.
@kayjay44 & @hnbergeron - I’m with you gals. My BD is early February. I’m equal part dreading it but also hopeful for Amazon & Target Gift Cards to be gifted to me.
I slipped in some mud and did something awful to my back. Now I am in So.Much.Pain. Sciatica came back, radiating all the way down my leg. I was doing so well symptom-wise before this!
Saw blood on the tp this morning and panicked before realizing it was from my butt. Also, my gums bleed when I brush my teeth and there’s blood every time I blow my nose too.
Whoever says the best thing about being pregnant is not having your period can shove it. I’m bleeding out of almost every other orifice of my body anyway! Honestly would not even be fazed if I started bleeding out of my ears and eyes at this point.

I think I am having Braxton Hicks. Since night before last, I experience this tightening all around my torso pretty much at my belly button level or just above, and it lasts for a bit and is not pleasant. I really don't remember this from last time. Lame.
@grebretso exactly. My nose always pours blood when I’m pregnant (like a faucet), my gums bleed every time I brush my teeth. The hemorrhoids always bleed which is the CUTEST. But then I can justify the tucks wipes (my one true love) and tp with aloe. It’s wonderful.
Anyones ankles itchy!? Mine are so itchy but not all the time. Usually at night and not everyday. No swelling or anything. Also my belly is huge. I feel as big as I did with DD at 40 weeks. And I was big. My skin feels like it cant stretch anymore. Fml. Still so long to go.
@cali1710 My ankles have been crazy itchy. Yesterday I was scratching them and didn't realize I had made them bleed! Yikes. I think little one shifted or grew this week because I've been super uncomfortable. I remember what the last trimester was like with my twins. Thankfully I only had 3 weeks of bed rest but I think I had to go in 3 times to stop contractions. They put me on some medication to take daily but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Hang in there!!
@bellebaby221 dreading third trimester. But they are taking me via c section at 34/35 weeks so I guess my wait wont be as long. I cant imagine how much bigger I’ll be by then with two in there.

Heartburn can suck a bag of dicks.
I dealt with this last time. (THANKS A LOT, hiatal hernia). And fwiw DD is almost 5 and STILL barely has any hair.
My guys stayed put until 38 weeks! If they didn't take them out I was going to do it myself!!
