Not sure that this is a symptom but this is where I'll put it. So this kid hangs low. Both my boys were low, but that was like...at the end. This is 26 weeks and I swear this kid has never moved from being tucked in my right hip. I can feel her when I bend over or if I lay on my side and bring my legs up. I've never felt a movement other than that one lower right quadrant. My boys were all over. So just as I'm starting to worry she's stuck and her movements have become less strong/frequent I start feeling movement up on my right side in the last 24 hours. Point taken child. Got it. I don't remember it taking so long to feel movement up higher.
@bww_0331 I carry super low too and I dont think I really feel any movements up high until close to the end. And even then it’s never up in my ribs so I guess that’s a good thing! But some of the down low movements get to be doozies and will stop me in my tracks.
> @pinkkillersheep said: > Is anyone else randomly choking on water? The number of times I’ve coughed up a bunch of water is significantly higher than any point in my life. Yes!! Normally if I go between either food or water, the first gulp is always like “oh no I don’t know if this is gonna make it down”
My butttttttt muscles, they hurt every morning and then get better through the day. I know I need to start stretching them but being lazy is more appealing after work
My kids gave me a nasty cough. Luckily it’s not Covid but it’s really starting to get old. I finally broke down and took some Mucinex. I can’t sleep, it’s making my whole core feel so weak, my throat raw, and my poor bladder couldn’t take it anymore so I’m officially peeing my pants. Being sick and pregnant sucks.
@KFrob I was really struggling with incontinence when I was coughing so much from Covid - I peed myself every time. Finally just started wearing thick maxi pads and they made a huge difference because I didn't have to change my underwear and pants every time it happened lol. Hope you feel better soon!
Well, I had a fun weekend. On Thursday night, I started having intense abdominal and lower back pain. It wasn't coming and going like contractions and baby was happily kicking up a storm. It continued all day Friday and was so. damn. bad. Then, I woke up on Saturday morning and had diarrhea about every 5 minutes. The pain morphed from stabbing pain to more gas pain. That lasted all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I finally went to the ER on Sunday afternoon because I could not take it anymore. My body and spirit felt defeated. After 3 hours giving me fluids and making sure baby was doing well, they sent me home with an antibiotic and said it must be a virus or bacteria and I just have to "get through it." Ugh. I'm starting to feel a bit better (fluids helped a lot), but sheesh it was a rough one.
@binxybaby i'm so sorry you had to go through that! Whatever this bug is, I hope it passes quickly!

@binxybaby your weekend makes my weekend look like a vacation! So sorry you’re dealing with that. Hopefully the antibiotics help and you’re feeling better soon. Pregnancy makes what’s normally awful unbearable and recovery takes so much longer!
My goodness what a weekend @binxybaby! Glad you’re feeling better now. And extra glad you have the peace of mind that your cervix is definitely closed!
@binxybaby what a miserable weekend. Hope you are on the mend soon!
im literally going to crawl into my chiropractor appointment tomorrow. My hips are out and popping. SPD is ramping up. Everything hurts and I just need to be able to function and go from sitting/standing or in/out the car etc.
The symptoms have sure rolled in here!! I feel among the same fate, and have been sick + pregnant with Bronchitis. The doctor finally put me on antibiotics in order to prevent pneumonia. I was just out of the woods… when this weekend I got a double whammy- a yeast infection (probably from the antibiotics) and sciatic pain in my right side so painful that I am having trouble walking! Man, pregnancy is a doozie! We want two kids, but I’m scared I won’t make it through one pregnancy much less a second one!
Re: March Symptoms
@marionberry19 I hope your back feels better.
