Weekly Symptoms {11/4-11/10}

danixbanani24

Getting a cold fk me and can’t sleep at night because no position is comfortable.  I feel so drained 

becks_726

I've had an on and off headache for the last few days, restricted to my left temple but fairly painful, and just a few minutes ago I had a dizzy spell out if nowhere. That feels like a worrisome combo. 

etnyah

I woke up to blood smeared all over my face and pillow. Gotta love those nighttime nosebleeds!

hnbergeron

@grebretso thanks! And so sorry you woke up like that. Good morning to you!!

Feeling slightly better today but just so exhausted. Like 1st trimester exhausted. 

And yep, I keep bouncing between constipation and loose so I feel ya. 

kayjay44

My insomnia is getting out of control. It’s too early for this. 

bellebaby221

I truly believe this child is going to work her way out alien-style. My abs are taking one hell of a beating the past few days. 

okayestmom12

@sjnsjnsjn - boo. Insomnia might be the worst symptom ever. 

ohsunnydays

@grebretso aaaahhh! That sounds like a scary way to wake up 

cas060

@zencats I had that for a few weeks earlier on, I finally figure out it was something I was eating that wasn't agreeing.  Now I just eat that thing when I'm feeling the constipation settling in... Lol

Today I am sporting two swollen ankles.  Why did I complain yesterday about only one??

bellebaby221

I'm not supposed to have a growth scan until 35 weeks but I can't help but feel like this baby is getting big already. I wish I knew if it was just the way she's positioned or if she really is a big baby. 
I swear I don't know how I managed to carry twins to 38 weeks. I don't remember being this miserable. My abdomen is screaming!

kayjay44

@bellebaby221 - I’m facing the same thing and I think part of it is how freaking low this baby is. Given that my other two were also low, pretty sure this kid is going to shoot out. 

bellebaby221

@kayjay44
I think that is part of it. I swear some days she could wave at me already! I've had to start wearing my support band again. My youngest turned head down and was super low and stayed there for the last 10 weeks or so. Felt like he was between my knees!

megpants209

@bellebaby221 and @kayjay44 I’m also carrying superrrr low and it’s so uncomfortable. I don’t even understand why. It’s my first and I was in good shape before getting pregnant. My H thinks I’m insane but it really does feel like the kid could just fall out. 

BourbonBiscuits

Another one carrying suuuuuper low. This girlfriend is on her way out. As it turns out she is measuring huge per yesterday’s scan, but I think the discomfort I feel is less about her size and more about how low she is

kayjay44

@megpants209 - my first was super low, too. Some people just carry that way. She was so low and engaged for so long that her head was black from a pressure bruise after 4 weeks of prodromal labor. 

etnyah

Same on being low. FTM but I've never had any abs of note. It feels like he can fall out any second and if I'm sitting down I can feel his punches on my thighs.

bellebaby221

I have not slept past 2 am all week. Catching an early flight out of DC this morning so at least I have a reason to be up sort of early today. Hopefully I can doze on the plane.

hannahbananas11

@bellebaby221 I hope you can sleep on the plane, too! I'm over here awake since 3 am. I've always slept really well until the last few weeks. At first it was fun waking up early, because as a morning person I looked at it like it was bonus time to get stuff done. Now I hate it, because I've realized the cumulative effects of only sleeping a few hours each night.

sjnsjnsjn

Insomnia is evil.

BourbonBiscuits

Puked on the way to work this morning. Third tri, is that you?

becks_726

Oh no @BourbonBiscuits! Is puking a third trimester thing? 

I am so thankful for every good night of sleep I get. Insomnia really messes you up fast. 

thechickendance

So much sympathy for you ladies still puking!

Sporadic bh contractions (like a couple per week), whoa not comfortable, do they become more frequent as the weeks progress?

BourbonBiscuits

@becks_726 I puke in the third tri because baby is pushing up on my stomach. Same thing happened with DS and it was brutal. No one should have to bend over a gigantic belly to puke.

becks_726

Oh shoot @BourbonBiscuits. That sounds dreadful. 

hnbergeron

@thechickendance bh suck! I get them a few times a day!  

So much join pain uggg. Also this kid is kicking the crap out of me. Almost to the point it is painful. 

lindseybick

Pretty tired, lots of heartburn, rib pain already. Ready for next month so I can at least say I’m having the baby “next month.” I will deliver January 29 or sooner.

bhou

I'm feeling so stressed, it's not helping me sleep. I need to get my workouts back in order, when I exercise I sleep well, but if i don't sleep it's hard to exercise, it's a terrible cycle i'm stuck in. waking up at midnight and recounting my day until 4am. 

Tons of weird rib pain, only on my right side and it radiates to my back. UGH. My husband says its "trapped wind" ....not sure but it keeps coming back. 

madreofdragons

Careful with that, gallstones are common in pregnancy @bhou

bhou

REALLY? Ugh. Wondering if I should contact my doctor then....... hm. 

notthecheat

So freaking hungry but my stomach's all like "nah, bruh. Just try me."

kayjay44

My abs have officially started to split and I have triangle abs. 

bellebaby221

I have the ab triangle as well. 

Plus restless legs are evil. 

kayjay44

@notthecheat - I’m always hungry but can’t eat much. I’ve only thrown up once today, and I’m hoping dinner stays down. 

danixbanani24

I feel like a truck hit me.  Stayed home from work and slept all day.  Any time I got up I felt weak and like I needed to lay back down.  Walked one block to the store to get something and it’s like I ran a marathon.  

jgrodo

@bhou I have upper left rib pain MD told me not worry and something was pushing my intestines- I have the pain daily aat the same time- so fun ugh-feel your Pain

kayjay44

I jinxed it - dinner came up. That’s 2 weeks at least in a row that I’ve thrown up my dinner. 

jgrodo

Is anyone not feeling that much mvt? I don't and doc said not to worry but shouId i be concerned?

kayjay44

@jgrodo - Is it your first? Do you know where your placenta is?

jgrodo

@kayjay44 it is my first, no idea where the placenta is, they haven't said anything when I've had scans.the last ultrasound all thetech kept saying was that he was moving a lot (not that I felt any of it)

changadee

Today I am so tired and so hormonal/emotional. Currently keeping myself awake to go see a band playing that my husband really wants to see. Wouldn't go but he bought me a ticket I just keep telling myself this could be the last time we will go out late like this for a long time, I'll survive.

Also jealous of people who are just getting BH now. I've been having them pretty much daily/multiple times a day since week 16 or 17. My uterus better be toned AF.
