I take it back..

nopegoat · August 2014

I have complained on here a few times about how miserable sciatica and RLP have been. Yesterday I hit another wall and wish I could take all the complaining away..

My belly feels so tight and full already that I tossed and turned all night (which made RLP and sciatica even worse) and today I can't do anything to give me any relief. I've tried walking, stretching, laying down, sitting, etc. So miserable. This should not be happening this early! Holy heck I am scared for late 3rd tri. Definitely my toughest pregnancy thus far. Blah.

H is supposed to be home at a decent time tonight and as soon as he walks in the door I am heading that way.

H was also suppose to have a short day or possibly even be off tomorrow and we were going to hit up some antique shops for a few things. I have been practically begging him to go for almost a year and now I don't think I physically can. So bummed.

Yep I do. I'm hoping it will do the trick.

leoandethansmom · August 2014

You poor thing! I am so sorry. I've noticed mine getting progressively worse and I'm afraid soon I'm going to be completely worthless. I hope you get to enjoy antique shopping, I'm so jealous!

I usually wear a full belly panel pant and today I'm wearing low rise jeans. No belly support. I feel so much pulling - my belly is like just hanging and it's pulling on my skin and muscles and hurts my ribs even. Gah. I never felt this stretched out with DD even at the very end.

@leosmom25‌ I have been dying to go forever. We are looking for a table, a few chairs, and possibly some art pieces. Buutt.. If I feel like this tomorrow there is no way I will make it. Just walking to the mailbox was hard enough today. I feel like I can hardly breathe.

nopegoat · August 2014

I'm hoping he is just shifting or something. I really don't remember feeling this full and blah even at the end of of my pregnancies with my other two. I can't imagine dealing with this for the next 17wks or so. Blah. Pregnancy is so fun...

mrsrroberson · August 2014

Ugh me too! No RLP or sciatica but the tightness and fullness make it so uncomfortable. Whether I'm sitting standing or laying down. Last night was horrible! Hope you feel better!

I totally understand! I didn't have sciatica with my first but OMG it is outrageous this time. There are times when I can't stand up or get up out of a chair because of the pain. That is not cool!

ugh! I soooo hear you. I felt like exactly like that last night and to top it all off baby was trying to push her way out of my side and vag. I have never been so uncomfortable not even in third tri with DS. Miserable. I'm sorry!

nopegoat · August 2014

Misery loves company right?

I'm sorry ladies.

leoandethansmom · August 2014

@kdm06c I swear I am having sympathy pains for you. I was feeling good today until I was ordered to work at the front desk since 4pm. 2 hours of being on my feet later I now have a shooting pain up and down the whole right side of my back. Hopefully I've taken away your pain so you can go antiquing ;-)

I finally went to the chiropractor two days ago and now I feel literally like a new person!!

This pregnancy has been awful, rundown feeling, sciatica, RLP, fatigue just bad. Now I have so mch energy to get stuff done and feel so much better. It was so helpful.

This is me today. We drove for 5 hours today and now any time I move I just want to cry.

So, what was the outcome? Were you able to go today?

No.

As soon as H got home I went and took a super long bath. I had not eaten anything all day and was starving so he made a wrap for me and brought it upstairs for me while I was in the tub. I took like 2 bites and wasn't able to eat any more because my belly was so tight and full feeling. Also had another restless night.

My belly isn't quite as tight today, but I still feel like crap. H said I looked a little bigger yesterday so I'm guessing everything is probably because of a growth spurt and position maybe?

Manateearmz · August 2014

You have all of my sorries. I have the feeling of doing a serious ab workout, but obviously my results are quite the opposite.

leoandethansmom · August 2014

Aww that stinks. I'm sorry hun!

nopegoat · August 2014

I'm hoping we get another weekend soon.

I did do some needed online shopping for this kiddo so at least this weekend won't be a complete waste.

designchica · August 2014

I am sorry you are having a tough time. Hope you start to feel more comfortable as the weekend wears on. Maybe a bubble bath and lots of rest.

nopegoat · August 2014

Thanks ladies. I'm so glad that H has a shorter day today and my boys have been pretty content so far. I've been sitting on the couch, feet up, eating ice while shopping online pretty much all day.

nopegoat · August 2014

I'm so sorry @ashtonkitty1‌. We did a 16hr round trip drive last weekend. It was soo miserable. My calves and ankles doubled in size and every little bump triggered sciatica and back spasms towards the end.

@kdm06c‌ thanks, I hope your day is better. Did I mention that the a/c broke in my car on the drive? We got it fixed but it added a couple more hours in the car. Oh also I forgot to pack underwear! Good thing I packed lots of slipshorts with dresses mostly.

I think I remember you posting about that yesterday. Ugh. So so miserable.

momtoE25 · August 2014

I'm right there with you!! Sciatica and ridiculous hip pain. I've also contemplated buying a support belt because by the end of the day, most days, I feel like my skin is going to rip apart across my stomach because it is so tight and heavy.
Hope you find some relief soon!

BabyRN2009 · August 2014

Totally agree!! My belly feels so tight and "full" like you said already too...24 weeks and many more to go! I know the belly will get much bigger, though, cause it has before, lol! But it must be true, you forget the discomforts soon after it's over...cause I sure don't remember this with my other two! :-P
