Weekly Symptoms {11/4-11/10}

okayestmom12

This is the last week of the 2nd tri and beginning of the 3rd tri for our early February ladies so I thought this meme was more than appropriate. 

How’s everyone feeling?

My body aches. I have hit that point where I cannot get comfortable in bed or basically anywhere.  And I am only 26 weeks tomorrow. 😳

Outside of the fact that my sleep has managed to get even worse (stress, not baby) I actually feel decent baby-wise. I’m a ridiculously emotional, anxious mess and I’ve also lost 5 lbs (and counting) which are both kinda worrying me for the baby.. but I expected this ordeal to make the physical symptoms worse and overall that hasn’t really happened. 

ohsunnydays

Hang in there @megpants209 , glad the physical symptoms aren’t worse but sorry sleep sucks.

Being an emotional mess this week/weekend. I feel kind of sorry for DH but actually he deserved some of it 

danixbanani24

Yup hitting 28 weeks this week! Crazy! And I feel it.  I feel large, uncomfortable, sleeping is hard, I get out of breath easily.  That’s about it!

26 wks tomorrow. I've been on vacation with hubby since Thursday, haven't noticed as much movement from baby, but we've been on the go quite a bit. I'm thinking he's either going to drive me crazy Monday night when we get home, or I may call ob Tuesday morning to get a quick opinion or check. I haven't mentioned this to DH because I don't want to freak him out.

I’m so tired. And sore. My groin hurts today.. 

@lzzfrancisco Ive noticed a bit of a slowdown the last few days too. Ive read it could mean a growth spurt for the baby, but always worth getting checked out! Being on the go may cause baby to sleep more?  I’m terrified mines on a growth spurt.. I’m already huge and over being pregnant. Come on mid January. 

lzzfrancisco

@cali1710 I was thinking growth spurt too, as the movements are less frequent, but more intense! 

cali1710

@lzzfrancisco yes definitely more intense! 

etnyah

That seems to happen with me too, @lzzfrancisco and @cali1710. It's pretty much a pattern at this point: Occasionally he'll be really quiet for two-three days and then BAM. More frequent and stronger movements than ever. Last night I almost woke H up to look at my belly, he was putting on such a show. It's still going on today, I swear I'll give birth to a baby Hulk if this keeps up.

Busy weekends are always accompanied by a slow down for me @lzzfrancisco. I was in your exact shoes with not wanting to worry DH a couple of weekends ago and then so much movement, as if to compensate. There's no harm in getting checked out though.

Hours in airports and traveling today has left me feeling like my left hip has popped out of place. It hurts so badly! I have to present at the conference at 8am so I'm currently trying to figure out the number of hotel pillows required for optimal comfort. 

danixbanani24

Ugh having cramps on my right side down to my thigh.  Probably need to up my water but it’s so uncomfortable! Also makes me worry obviously about pre term labor lol

allthingsgo

Add me to the sore groin and hips list. I finally broke down and ordered a support belt. It’s supposed to help relieve hip and pelvic pain. Fingers crossed it works!

My mouth feels like the Sahara desert every night, so then I chug water, which keeps me up all night peeing. Vicious cycle.

This is also me. 

kayjay44

I am so fucking sick of throwing up every night. 

etnyah

What the hell @kayjay44, how are you even still alive. Anyone still puking deserves a friggin purple heart!

AFM, I finally understand the meaning of lightning crotch. Thanks a lot, lil dude 

cali1710

@kayjay44 you poor thing!! I couldnt imagine!

sjnsjnsjn

@kayjay44- Oh man, I really cannot wait for February to get here FOR YOU!  What a trial you are going through. Awful. 😷

danixbanani24

@kayjay44 you are a trooper for doing this for the third time! 

wrensnest

@kayjay44 hugs lady. Went through that with DD1. I feel for you, truly. Fingers crossed you get some relief. 

okayestmom12

I think we’re all going to do a happy dance and raise a glass or two once baby is born and you can function again, @kayjay44. 

kdrn913

Another one feeling sorry for you @kayjay44. That sounds absolutely miserable! 

Leg cramps have have started in the middle of the night. Also having these weird shaky/weak spells pretty much most mornings around 10 ish. Thinking maybe blood sugar drop but who knows ! Gonna ask at my appointment Thursday ! 

hannahbananas11

@kayjay44 Can your MW/OB prescribe anything for the nausea? That sounds terrible.

I can't seem to get comfortable in bed, even with my big Snoogle and the temperature just right. I usually am a side-sleeper so that's not the issue, I just keep waking up for no apparent reason. I think I got about 2 hours of sleep last night, and today I'm a zombie with a dull headache. Pregnancy is so much fun yay hooray.

etnyah

Oh god I am in so much pain today. It feels like my uterus doubled in size overnight, but my ligaments, muscles, skin etc didn’t have time to catch up, so I can sit or stand up straight. I’ll just sit hunched over in my office for the rest of the day and then lay down in a fetal position as soon as I get home. 

kayjay44

@hannahbananas11 - I'm already on as much prescription medication as I can be on (for both the nausea and the heartburn). I also have Barrett's esophagus (severe esophagitis) and a hiatal hernia (where part of my stomach sits above my diaphram) which isn't helping and I'm on meds for that too until it can be fixed post-baby. 

The one plus: I know when I'm going to throw up now. With my first, I would try to make it to the bathroom, not make it, then puke all over the hallway. This pregnancy, I've made it to the bucket every time that I keep by the bed. And we have a toilet sprayer (since we CD'd our first two), so it's super easy clean up. And there's the fact that DH is getting snipped when I hit 6 weeks PP and I'm looking forward to that as much as I am being done being pregnant

Stuck in the box... But YES same! I knew he grew and was causing stretching but crap. My skin is sooo dry no matter how much lotion. And itchy. 

madreofdragons

I’m either coming down with a cold, allergies or getting the second trimester headaches. Had one on and off for the last couple of days. Feels sinus-y. We’ll see. 

bellebaby221

Woke up with a headache this morning. I hope it's just because of the crappy hotel pillows. I thought I was getting past the pregnancy headaches. 

kayjay44

Insomnia. DD also had a night terror which led to about 4 hours of sleep total. DH then decided it was a good idea to tease me this morning and I turned into a hormonal wreck - normally I would try to control it but I felt like he needed to learn a lesson and just let it ride. 

kdrn913

Woke up with the worst Charlie horse ever in the middle of the night. My screaming woke DD up. So restless for the rest of the night, and now my calf is so sore 

cas060

Yuk @nursemom913, those are the worst!

Im currently sporting 1 cankle... yup only one! Wth.  
Babys currently having a dance party also.

kayjay44

I’ve some how gotten lucky on the Charlie horse front this time. I usually get a ton of them. 

I’m not sure why I am even surprised by the puking anymore, but I am. I threw up before leaving for my iron infusion and on the way home. DH had to drive me (with sick DS in tow) because I keep falling asleep due to lack of sleep. 

BourbonBiscuits

The gas is back tonight. Feeling grateful that DH is away at a game until like 3am because every time I tooted tonight DS said “mama poopoo potty!” And ran in the bathroom. Thanks kid. 

ohsunnydays

@BourbonBiscuits LOL thanks for the laugh! I needed it. Your kiddo is hilarious. 

hnbergeron

Crazy thought this morning. I felt good, like I was over this crap amd my old self. I jinxed it. Threw up twice at work, countless dry heaves and then once at home. Now sitting her with massive heartburn and exhausted. Waiting on DH to get home because I sleep like crap when he is on his way. Plus anxiety is nice and high. Dude, pregnancy kinda sucks. Sorry(not sorry) if that offends. Also grumpy

etnyah

@hnbergeron I don't think anyone would be offended that a pregnant woman with HG isn't exactly feeling the glow. You've been dealt some extremely shitty cards and should be able to say whatever you want to. Hugs to you!

Has anyone been having the opposite of constipation? For the past few weeks all of my stool has pretty much been loose, but not full on diarrhea. It is pretty uncomfortable because I have to go frequently to get rid of all of it and then wipe like 15 times each time. I thought I’d have constipation right now because I’m 25 weeks but no, it’s just the opposite haha. I also had Charlie horse cramps in my feet for like 4 days and could hardly walk it hurt so much. That went away but it was so painful.

sjnsjnsjn

Welp, insomnia has been at bay for a bit and here I am awake since 3am with it.  Really REALLY lame.
