@FyreFlyeRush hahah CWI! I love it. I noticed I had some crust on my CWI the other day. That was new. I think it must be leaking milk? But maybe just dry skin. This whole pregnancy thing makes your body go whack!
@biolprof probably milk. I've had crusties on my CWI since like week 16 or something crazy like that. You could always give the tits a good squeeze and see if anything comes out. That's how I figured out that it was milk and not just me being gross and unwashed (which I totally wasn't, but pregnancy brain can convince you of anything)
Hip. Flexor. Is. Killing. Me. Tylenol did jack shit last night to make it feel better. It's getting to the point where I'm limping. Ugh. Not fun. Also getting dizzy more often when I stand up too fast which isn't fun either.
@stashattack yoga is needed for those hip flexors. Mine have been a pain too but with stretching in the morning it helps! I'm thinking pigeon pose would be useful!
Yes. I feel soooo stuffed after eating just all over. Like last night I felt terrible after eating and then like 2hrs later and a bathroom trip I was starved again.
@stashattack, I haven't been able to judge my appetite since I became pregnant. I go straight from not hungry/ full to OMG FEED ME NOW with no stops between. No munchies. No feeling peckish. No, hmmm I need to eat soon. And it can be anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to ALL DAY between meals.
@FyreFlyeRush I get the same instant hunger reaction. I also don't get hungry in the same way I used to. I get hangry or light headed. It's so random! @stashattack I can eat two bites and be stuffed or a massive meal and be starving still.
@leprechaunlady try eating more meals through the day. I find i get full more quickly as well but I'm constantly eating something at work at my desk haha
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k because i have gd, i need to take blood glucose level readings 7 times a day & 6 of those include before & after breakfast, lunch & dinner so grazing throughout the day isnt really an option
For some reason, I feel like I'm struggling more with body image issues this pregnancy. Maybe it's because I worked so hard to lose weight, that seeing my body change is like I've undone all that progress? Or maybe it's because this time, my partner is with me ALL...THE...TIME, where as with my first and second, I was single by this point, so I didn't care what I looked like. Whatever the case, I look at my growing belly (and bum and thighs) and kind of sigh in resignation.
How is everyone doing with Braxton Hicks? I was crampy for a two days, and then last night was crampy and kept feeling tightening. After the kids went to bed, I walked on the treadmill, then sat down and relaxed and drank a ton of water. Today I haven't felt any of it, so that's good. I never really can decide when it's BH, but I think that was it.
@MollySm - I have BH nearly every day. Usually it's at the end of the day when I need to sit down and drink some water. As long as it doesn't turn painful, I don't think there's anything to worry about. I've been having them since about 15 weeks.
@MollySm, they've been picking up lately. My little guy is super active between about midnight at 2am. I'm wondering if that's setting them off. They're also more intense with this pregnancy, but I know that's not uncommon. I've had them in all my pregnancies from about week 22 on.
@MollySm I'm in about the same boat as @marebear15 - I noticed them earlier in this pregnancy than my first but it's also usually correlated with my activity level and water intake for the day. They haven't progressed into anything concerning thankfully.
Anyone experiencing pregnancy insomnia? It just hit me last night. 😬 I woke up at one point, I didn't even have to pee!, and just laid there wide awake. My husband's snoring definitely didn't help but just being awake (on top of the 3 times I had already gotten up to pee) was definitely irritating! I don't remember having insomnia last time and hope last night was just a fluke.
@valerie4786 🙋🏻♀️ Ive been waking up for no reason at 3am for a few hours. Although the past few nights its been 5-5:30ish which is better!
today Ive been having a really sharp pain, almost like a stitch but lower down, round my right hip. It was constant for a few hours. I think its just one of the babies got into an awkward position & was jammed up against something as it lessened when I lay on my left side for a while. Dh was starting to freak out a little as I was almost in tears with the pain 😭
@leprechaunlady, mine has done that, too. He's taken to being transverse across the base of my uterus. When he moves, especially a roll or flip, it's so painful sometimes. I even cried out the other night, and my SO was like...WHAT? Are you OK? What happened?
@kbrown2385 welcome to carpal tunnel!! I got this starting from 3rd trimester last time. Sleeping with hand braces really helped to be honest. By the end of my pregnancy DH was laughing because I looked like a mummy, I had to wrap my hands/writs and legs due to swelling when I would go to bed
Yes, I had carpal tunnel with my third, and wore braces on my wrists to sleep. I am just starting to get a little numbness now, but it hasn't gotten bad.
Out of no where, I'm constantly hungry...at night, when I don't want to eat. Last night, at 0030, I had to get up and eat a cookie JUST to shut my growling stomach up. (A cookie was the easiest thing to have ONE of.) My SO is like...you're hungry again?! I hate eating in the evening. I hatenot having an empty stomach when I go to bed. But now, I can't sleep unless this beast is tamed! It's SO ANNOYING!!!
Also, I'm having a horrible time getting comfortable, something that usually doesn't happen until about 30w for me. This kid, tho...he seems to know when I've found the comfort zone, and wakes up and goes bonkers. He kicks, flips, rolls, punches, tickles, bounces on my bladder, kicks my navel, does something really weird to my hips that makes me go arghhh!!! SO put his hand on my stomach and said, Whoa! I felt that! Settle down in there! Let your mom sleep!

Today, a tree branch was in my way. Just one. Not even that big of one. But, apparently it irked me and the tree got a major haircut. Oops.
