I think I felt them for the first time a day or two ago @cass06_07 and if I had been in a different frame of mind I would have 100% missed them. Pretty sure some people never get/feel them, or so one of my bump articles told me.
@cass06_07 I think I had a BH pretty early on (like week 17 or so), my belly tightened and hardened for a few seconds and that was it, no pain. That's the only time I've felt it though, nothing at all since.

Speaking of, here's a symptom! I can no longer orgasm. Not that I've really made much of an effort since I'm on pelvic rest and my libido is down the drain, but the couple times we're tried non p-in-v stuff... nada. And I don't even care. I feel like friggin virgin Mary.

Good to know I’m not alone! People keep saying pregnant sex is amazing but I’m like... sex, what’s that? It’s been so long and I don’t even care. Honestly kind of scared of being taken off pelvic rest (which I probably will) because I don’t even know how to do it anymore.

Dear baby, I love you but my bladder is not a pillow. Please readjust your position so I don't almost pee my pants every time I stand up. Thanks! Mommy
@jessier19 My belly button is the same- super deep innie. That thing is never popping but yep, all around it is definitely trying and it looks full on BIZARRE.
Man I feel like junk today. Didn't sleep. Been up since 2 am. Every time she moves it hurts. Walking sucks because I feel like she's bouncing on my cervix. Just a little more than 7 weeks...I hope I can survive it! Although I feel guilty complaining because I know some of you have had such a rough time.
So the past few days I’ve noticed an increase in floaters in my eyes. I’ve always had them but not to the point that I notice them everyday. I called the nurses line and I’m waiting on call back. Hopefully all is fine, my bp at my last appointment was 112/73 which is normal for me so hopefully it’s just a normal pregnancy symptom that will go away once he is born.
The arch of my left foot was aching last night. It’s fine now but that was so random. It happened to be the same side as my sciatica issue so maybe that is part of it? Also I hate my left hip/back, it’s such an achy asshole and wakes me up so much at night.
Man I cannot wait until I’m not pregnant anymore. I am so tired of all these aches and pains.
@allthingsgo YES I get the pressure in my face and neck with BH too! I thought I was crazy lol.
I also get the same pressure when I first lay flat to sleep for the night. I can't figure it out. My BP is perfect, I have no swelling, nothing wrong. I figure it must just be due to increased blood volume.
@grebretso add me to the no sex drive club. DH was looking for some last night as I laid down to go to sleep - I was like seriously? I can’t breathe through my nose, I’m covered in Vick’s and my nose looks like Rudolph. I told him to take care of himself LOL
@danixbanani24 my husband is the same way! He had a cold a few weeks ago and I refused to even give him a kiss. Then when I ultimately got it to, his thought was that we were both sick so.... I was like hell no.
@lzzfrancisco I wear mine when I know I will be walking a lot, like I will wear it to work or on major outings. But l also basically carry it with me everywhere in my purse so I can put it on when I feel my hips and pelvis beginning to fatigue and it gives me a little more time hah. I use the belly bandit upsie belly. I love it.
I'll join the swelling club too. One basketball game and an afternoon of wrestling matches. Just too much. I have a feeling I'm going to start missing more of my boys sporting events which makes me sad.
@lzzfrancisco I do the same, wear it when I know I’ll be on my feet awhile. It’s not comfortable for me to wear it while sitting for long so I don’t wear it then.
@lzzfrancisco echoing what the other ladies said about the support belt, I wear it when I know I’ll be walking and standing but take it off if I’ll be sitting for long periods of time. That said I’m going to be at a conference tomorrow and Tuesday and will probably just wear it the whole time there
Not a symptom but I think I'm getting a cold. It's going around at work so I figured I'd get it eventually. Not too bad so far, just a scratchy throat and runny nose, but I'm not looking forward to it getting worse. Ugh. I thought I was being good with diligently using hand sanitizer, not really touching anything and keeping to myself, but sometimes it's just unavoidable.

@grebretso sucky! Dh picked up a sore throat friday... its a cold today. MIL has something minor also... ive been playing the sanitizer game all weekend. Fx i dont get it cause ill be ugly! Lol
Ladies, do you think a support band will help with rib pain too? My back does have some aches, but the pain in my ribs is starting to really drive me mad.
@nataliezbrungart I think a compression tank top from Blanqi or other brands would help you more! Someone who actually owns one could advise you better. But I know for sure my support band wouldn't make a difference for me rib pain-wise.

I've been consistently getting them when I go up stairs.

I don't think I have! Or I don't know what it is yet LOL
