Tuesday Daily Symptom Check In

Starting this off early cause I am having an awful night

I have been burping eggs (and haven't eaten any) since dinner time last night. I managed to sleep mostly til 4 with lots of tossing and turning, and have been up since then unable to fall back to sleep. I had an awful charlie horse in my leg, and my stomach just doesn't feel right. I hope I'm not coming down with a bug. I also hope this is not something that lasts. I feel terrible

crhein26 · February 2014

@mommyp710 - I hope you feel better! Eat a banana or two for the leg cramping and drink more water!

As for me, I actually slept halfway decent last night since I used earplugs. DH didn't keep me up as much. I did wake up around midnight sick to my stomach and ended up going to the bathroom though. Annoying pooping issue #4724634823457 of this pregnancy.

I also had a crazy dream. I was in labor for LO and instead of having a girl, I had twins. DH and I about shit when we realized there were two instead of just one.

Last night I woke up with the most awful gas pains from being so constipated. I freaked out when they started and had to calm myself that it was just gas and nothing else (I am a preemie mom so I am getting more anxious about preterm labor/birth as time goes on). Also, I'm now suffering from insomnia. I've been up for hours. Thankfully I get to work from home today so I can sit with my feet up and relax while working.

The crazy dreams make me tired. My heartburn is out of control, even with meds. I'm sleeping on three pillows, which isn't comfortable, and I'm adding herbal tea that normally helps to the regimine. It's nuts.

Contractions. Oh my lord, the contractions! I've been working a lot lately so I've been on my feet a bunch. Last night I had contractions for about 4 hours varying from every 5-15 minutes. At one point it hurt so bad my DS touched my belly and I screamed. I tried changing positions, drinking water, nothing was helping. I've been up for 2 hours and they're starting again. I don't have time for this! I have to go to work!! Apparently my uterus didn't get the memo that we are having a c-section and don't need "practice contractions." I didn't get BH like this until the end of my third trimester last time. WTH is going on with my body??

Major back pain and annoying heart burn. Boooo

diagonalley · February 2014

Thanks for the well wishes @crhein26. I ended up vomiting for the first time this pregnancy and then started with stuff coming out the other end so I think I have a bug. I took the morning off and managed a few little naps. Trying to get myself together for the second half of the day.

@Read247 - Tell your LO to settle down in there. I know you are awesome and LO wants to meet you and all, but it's too soon! Sounds like you might need to take a day off. Rest up!

@mommyp710 - oh no!!! Definitely rest and hopefully it goes away quick! Don't push yourself this afternoon. You don't want to make it worse!

When I inevitably wake up for my early morning pee, which is about an hour or 2 before my alarm goes off, my hips and legs are aching sooo bad I can't get comfortable enough to fall right back to sleep.

I also keep having a reoccuring dream that i have the baby, and I realize it's been like a week and I haven't even tried to breastfeed, and everyone else has been feeding and taking care of her and I never get any time with her and it's like I don't even know her at all but everyone else does. I am not overly worried when I'm conscious about all this stuff, but this dream keeps coming back. Anyone else having dreams like this?

FeliciaTwo · February 2014

Does anyone notice that the baby is much less active on days that you're very active? I was on my feet nearly all day the last two days and sort of freaked out about how little I felt him move. When I finally sat down I did feel him moving, but I had to *really* pay attention. No big thumps.

I've read that when you're actively moving around it kind of "lulls" the baby to sleep. This happens to me, too. Then since I was up so early not feeling well for a while I felt him a lot, probably because I wasn't moving.

becomingmommyagain · February 2014

It has finally hit me....urinary incontinence....

I've had to go to the bathroom no less than hourly just to try to minimize it. But every time LO kicks my bladder...I'm done for. Thank goodness for the stash of pads in my desk drawer!

Sounds like its time to ask for modified work duties! Drink lots of water and try to stay off your feet as much as you can!

Wondering if anyone has had this or heard about it. I woke up this morning with bruises on the inside of my right thigh. I sleep on my side kind of in a ball position so is it possible at this point for LO to kick me hard enough to bruise my thigh there? My mom told me it happened to her when she was pregnant with my little sister, but thought it was when she was further along.

@skamber - I've never heard of that! I dont think it is your LO beating you up, but maybe you are sleeping with your hand on your inner thigh? Try using a full body pillow to support your legs and belly?

Dharmatron · February 2014

I still have an achy bladder from my bladder infection. I'm hoping that goes away soon.

I've noticed baby girl gets very active as soon as I lay down on my back. Within 10 seconds, she's kicking and punching up a storm. When I flip over to either side, she chills out.

@skamber - I have some random bruises on my thighs and I don't know where they came from.

coffee89 · February 2014

I'm still producing bloody snot, but today it doesn't seem to be dripping down my throat anymore. Plus I'm starving and little energy.

You know...I have been, too. Is that a pregnancy symptom? It didn't bother me because I wasn't getting bloody noses, but I have noticed this over the past few weeks.

BMaidPlanner · February 2014

The evil, evil heartburn (I am not on meds yet, see the ob this Friday), heart palpitations sometimes, headaches today...

24 weeks and still no cravings, still not really interested in food. I still eat, trust me, but I just never know what I want to eat or have a desire to, no appetite. It's getting annoying how often people ask me what my "crazy cravings" are. Feeling like the morning sickness messed me up permanently, always thinking I'm feeling nauseous or that something will make me sick.

crossfitkiwi · February 2014

@amtellez28 I just went thru this and definitely think it's a growth spurt. I was a ravenous beast for about a week, could not stay out of the kitchen. I tried to not worry about it and just made sure I was eating healthy stuff. It's settled down again (for now).

I'm feeling like a bit of a unicorn today after a horrible day of RLP yesterday. I wish I could sprinkle some dust and magic all you ladies symptoms away xx

shakeweights · February 2014

Ok a weird and new one for me (and I don't think it's a pregnancy symptom really) - I have a rash. It started last night on my right ankle. Like little hives (I get these when I'm over heated sometimes in the summer). Today my whole bottom half of that leg has been super itchy and I'm getting more hives. WTF? I live in WI and it's freezing cold outside! I have no idea if it's a reaction to something I ate, or my laundry detergent (hasn't changed at all), but it's getting to be unbearable and I just want to go home so I can put something on it!

I've had the bloody snot too. I assume it's pregnancy related because I've never had it this consistently before unless I was sick.
Also, I'm back to trying to determine if I'm hungry or nauseous all day long. Morning sickness sucks.

Me too, mine never *really* went away. We have the same due date, lucky us! Maybe week 25 is our week, fingers crossed.

I used to have similar dreams especially when my son was first born. I'd dream I'd be out running errands or something and suddenly remember: "oh shit, I have a baby! Where's my baby?!?"

@shakeweights - you should get it checked out just in case. It could be pregnancy related. Have you ever heard of PUPPS?? It's a pregnancy rash. I had it when I was pregnant with my son. Mine started on my core (stomach and chest) and then spreaded to my legs.

@Rachel5130 - I sometimes feel like my baby is kicking me in the vag too. I thought it was because of my contractions, but maybe it's just the position?? He moves around a lot in there...

Bittycakes · February 2014

Sending love to all the bumpies with poop & sleep issues. I feel your pain, ladies. Sending good & relaxing vibes your way. ;;)

RedMar · February 2014

@Rachel5130~ I definitely get swift kicks in the vadge. Do you have pelvic floor pain too!?? Sometimes I feel like this babe is going to shoot out my ass...

So it could be contractions?

Stuck in the quote box...
What I meant was I've been having a lot of contractions, usually afterwards i feel him lower. They make my belly really hard for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Sometimes they are really mild and sometimes they are painful and even make my back hurt. Do you notice your uterus sporadically tightening? If so then you're probably experiencing braxton hicks contractions.

I'm not sure if it's a reason for feeling him so low or if it's just him changing positions. But I've definitely noticed him really low lately, especially after contractions.

linabparis · February 2014

I itch...down there. Could it be a yeast infection? It's not internal, just ln the outside.

It could be, I never get the internal itching just the external when I get them.

babybean82 · February 2014

So I have been having a lot of watery discharge the last few days and I tried to tell myself it was nothing but then I let my worries get the best of me and started freaking out that all of this back pain and RLP might be contractions that I don't recognize and that the watery discharge could be amniotic fluids leaking.

I broke down and called my Dr's office this afternoon and they sent me into L&D to get tested. I feel silly for freaking myself out but everything turned out good, not amniotic fluids just excess pregnancy fluids and my cervix is still closed nice and tight. So yay now I can relax again.

My mom actually did forget about my little sister when she was a baby! She went to get her hair done and my sister must have been asleep in the backseat. Her hairdresser asked how the baby was and she was like o crap! Had to go get her from the car lol

ETA: I had constant nightmares about that!! I was so sleep deprived I was SURE I was going to do something like that.

@Read247 - thanks for the response! I looked up PUPPS and it doesn't seem like I have any other symptom but it's good to know what that is! I took a Benedryl last night and rubbed some hydrocortisone on the areas and it was better this morning, not itchy anymore. I'm still going to call my Dr. later today to just see what she has to say...just in case!
