OMG!!! I can't do another month of this!!!

sunbun5457 · April 2014

Ok, so serious rant coming on. It has taken me nearly 9 years to have a baby and i am sooooo grateful but pregnancy is sooooo hard. I sleep maybe a couple of hours a night. I feel like I'm carrying a fish tank in my stomach with the baby and fluid. Have been having some serious braxton hicks contractions! Stretch marks are coming in! So constipated (tmi) . Heartburn galore! Backache! and some serious frickin leg cramp, and the best one, constant peeing!!!If one more person tells me to enjoy this time! I'm gonna scream.
So ladies, what are some of your pregnancy symptoms that are driving you insane???

Insane itching. Tonight has been one of my worst nights. I've scratched my palms so much they are swollen and I'm currently laying in bed with a bag of ice on my feet, to keep from itching them!

Umm, all of the above? Third tri is glamorous. Oh, plus insomnia. Obviously, because it's 4:30am and I'm bumping...

All of this. Pregsomnia for the lose!

Welcome? How is constipation TMI?

This. I thought it was generally consensus here that nothing is tmi, apart from pictures of the stuff that people think is tmi.

@MeaganStringer‌ - you need to talk to your OB. Sounds like cholestasis which is serious.

Junebug060609 · April 2014

Welcome to late 3rd tri.

Like @Kimbus22‌ alluded to, pp recovery has it's own set of issues. And that sleep thing, I swear the last month of pg is to get us used to not sleeping for the newborn stage.

The worst for me is heartburn and reflux. Throwing up any meal larger than a slice of toast is getting old.

jsaffer01 · April 2014

Heartburn is a fucking bitch!! I've never had it before pregnancy and I really hope it goes away once baby B is here. The 24/7 swollen hands/ankles/feet is getting old for me. Also the position of this baby, some body part is stuck under my ribs near my boobs, and I can't even bend slightly without it hurting me.

Charley horses!! I look so silly walking down the hall at work or in a store when my thigh all the sudden gets a charley horse and it makes my leg go all crazy! Pretty much all of the above as well!

This. And thanks to the new google layout, I found that I can't google any "mucous plug" questions without images popping to the top of the page, even when I'm on web search.

Gag.

@MeaganStringer‌ call your OB! Itchy hands and feet may be cholestasis in which case you need to be put on meds!

for true! a girl in my Centering group had to be induced at 36 weeks because of this. Get thee to thy doc ASAP!

yep, I've had two friends this year that had it and both were induced right at 37 weeks. Not to scare, but it carries a pretty serious risk of stillbirth past 37 weeks (which is why they induce early).

lrmrtn · April 2014

Shortness of breath from walking 5 feet, lack of sleep, leg cramps and the fact that I have a horrible cold that I can't take anything good for.

I have I was tested 2 weeks ago and my levels were normal. They ran blood work again yesterday. I will find out Monday how it turned out. I just don't know what to do if that comes back normal too. Be scared shitless from 37-40 weeks or demand being tested every week?

Baileypearl · April 2014

My carpel tunnel is out of control. I've exhausted all the suggestions for relief from the ob, I bought new nighttime braces today. The burning and the throbbing are getting real old. I'm now wearing braces on my arms 24/7, taking b6 supplements "sleeping" sittting strait up with my arms propped up. IT SUCKS!

SaraB221 · April 2014

Pelvis pain and Braxton hicks!

yvanehtnioj · April 2014

I'm just. so. SLOW. I used to hurry down the street, now I just roll like molasses. And when I drop something, I get legit upset and weigh the pros and cons of picking whatever it is up.

@awc1986‌ I've been hooked on the benadryl for as long as I can remember.

heartburn, waking up choking in stomach acid, throwing up again, insomnia and extreme fatigue, don't touch me attitude, gas pains, Braxton hicks, short of breath, swollen and painful feet, lower back pain, upper back pain, dark unattractive large nipples, the list goes on

Ersulli · April 2014

I think the hardest part for me is wanting so badly to like it and enjoy it but having a hard time doing so with the realities of all the symptoms. My sister is unable to conceive and I feel so blessed to have gotten pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy so I want to be loving it... But it's kinda rough man!

100% this.

dakota01 · April 2014

The pelvic pain! He is all nestled down low- yikes!
My kids have now seen the mother from hell and I despise myself for it. Apparently my patience disappeared when I hit 36 weeks and can no longer walk normal, pick stuff up off the floor, or sleep more than a few hours at a time.

lovey1 · April 2014

I placed myself on bed rest yesterday because this baby feels like he's going to fall out of my arse. I went to the bathroom (#2) at least 6 times yesterday and I'm so scared of having another hemmorhoid flare up. May 6th can't get here soon enough!

YTLCNURSE · April 2014

Yeah pregnancy is not as glamorous as some people make it out to be. I'm so over it. I want my body back and I want to be able to sleep throughout the night without having to go pee every hour.

bumpuser9353653 · April 2014

Now that we're getting warm weather, the swelling has started - in my feet, my ankles, and my hands. I *hate* feeling hot and swollen.

I hope this kid comes a week or so early. 4 weeks till the due date, but almost 5 till the scheduled c/s...starting to regret my decision to push back the c/s. C'mon baby!
