My heartburn is out of control. I don't even know what I ate that would cause such bad heartburn! I've seriously had it all. Day. Yesterday! I woke up several times last night because I was on the verge of throwing up because of it! I finally popped some tums, But it's back now.
My body is so fricking sore. I just told my H I've never felt so sore and in pain from pregnancy in my life! I can hardly move. Sucks, cuz my mom and brothers come today so I've gotta get my house ready.
I now understand those ladies who talked about feeling like their pelvis was breaking in half. I feel like I have a giant internal bruise in my lady bits and every time I move I kinda want to cry. Ouch!
Also, Roid Rage means something entirely different while pregnant haha.
Hope everyone has an awesome Friday! I didn't go to work with DH today, but couldn't fall back asleep. So I'm thinking I'll go groom my parent's dog for them and maybe get some cleaning done around the house. Or I'll end up laying back down and doing nothing today... we shall see.
I'm cranky about the fact that I have to go to work today. I'm pretty sure it will be a high no show day because who wants to go to counseling the day after Christmas? Oh well hopefully I'll find something to keep me entertained! Also I'm jealous DH gets to stay home with DD, he's off until the 8th when my MIL gets back!
CMB that pisses me off for you. She should have respected your request from the beginning. Did your FI say anything? (Not that he would need to, just curious on how he handled it.)
I am really hoping my in laws go out this morning with E so I can have a few hours to myself! We had the best Christmas and everything was great but I am so wiped and would love to have a few hours to recover!!
Just woke up I have my 36 week appointment today which im a little nervous about because one of my co-workers told me they can hurt but I guess I better get used to pain and am eager to know more about baby. I also had a lot more BH last two days so I'm kind of Like whoa baby slow down lol.
One of our dogs was up twice last night to go outside, not feeling well. The second time I got up to let her out I stepped in puke. It was especially lovely at 2:30 in the morning.
Also, dh and I thought we had finally come up with a boy name, but this morning it was axed because of really poor work association for my dh. I think we might just change one letter and go with, if baby is a boy.
I am currently at work, and my car is the only one in my parking lot. It is completely pointless for me to be here right now. We will see how long I last until I just say f**k it and leave.
I've been having BH like crazy since yesterday morning. Normally they come and go with hours between but I haven't had a break from them since they started and they are beginning to get painful. I was supposed to go see my mom today but now I think I'm going to stick around the house and see how things go. It's probably just me being anxious but I am 38+3, but also a FTM so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. Just don't want to be too far away if I have to make a trip to the hospital! Hope everyone who celebrated had a great Christmas yesterday! Happy Friday everyone!
@crazymonkeybear, I get it about the pictures. BIL walked around with a camera all day yesterday and would take awkward photos of me (like where I was sitting on the couch with bad posture like a slob or making a weird face) and then say, "gotcha." But luckily I think he is sane and considerate enough to not do anything with those pictures.
DS and I are both still sick with a cough, and DH brought him into our bed last night. I wasn't thrilled about that because he was restless between about 1:30 and 5:30.
We're going to the ILs today and staying the weekend to exchange gifts and hang out. DH said last time I complained too much, and that is really wearing on him, so I'm going to try to not complain this time.
Ugh, I hate having pictures taken of me especially when I am unaware. My BIL thinks it is fun to get as many awful looking candids as possible. I had a bad migraine yesterday so I didn't even look happy in any of them. So aggravating.
When do the cleaning/organizing elves come? It looks like a bomb went off in my house but my 3 and 4 year old had a wonderful Christmas. My bestie will be in town and I will get to see her today or tomorrow which is a very big deal since we only get to see each other 2-3 times a year.
Not kidding about the Christmas bomb. I have so much to do.
Yesterday on the way to my parents', DH had the music coming from his phone, and I wanted the radio because I get tired of his music all the time, and I figured they'd be playing Christmas music. So I put it on the radio, and he got all insistent about it, saying, "I'm the driver; I'm putting my foot down about this, blah blah blah." I started crying because I felt like he was being an asshole, and I had been up early baking and getting stuff ready and didn't feel good and just wanted to listen to Christmas music.
Anyway, that's different than your story because our argument was not about something important, but I think it's the same about some of my feelings being legitimate and some being maybe hormone related. And I do want to try to be more positive.
I really don't want to be at work today but I have an appointment that is coming in at 10 and I am waiting on a package that I need for Monday morning. I am going to close the office at 12 if the package is here - if not, 'm leaving anyways and my co-worker can wait for the package and then go home.
I'm super cranky because I'm swollen and my head hurts - I'm assuming it's because of the chinese food that my IL's decided to have for dinner on Christmas Eve (instead of the normal lasagna) followed by the sausage casserole for breakfast yesterday and the ham for dinner. Sodium sodium sodium! But I'm going to the doctor today so they will at least check my BP.

Me too on the heartburn I was up much of the night because sleeping sitting up just wasn't working. Every time I would doze off I'd wake up lower and have to swallow it back down. I hope we get some relief soon!!

I just remembered that I did have to take some Tums at 3am when I got up to pee because of the heartburn
Hey girls! I feel so tired. Yesterday was really hectic with company and I feel pooped this morning. Zoe slept a wonderful 7 hours, but I feel like I need 3 more. I need more hours in my day. I'm glad H is on vacation for a bit.
I hope you all have a great day!
(Zoe Claire- born at 33.6 weeks- November 19, '14 - 5lbs 15oz)
Totally had a meltdown on Christmas eve @littlefoote . You are not alone. We had so much to do and DH fell asleep with DS3 while I busted my butt cleaning up and getting ready for Christmas morning. So I wake him up and he seems pissed about it. Then we get into an argument over the STUPIDEST thing ever, actually a scene in Elf of all things and I burst into tears. It wasn't because of what we were arguing about but he does this thing were he likes to pick and push until I am upset and then he tells me I am being unreasonable. I then proceeded to unload everything that has been upsetting me lately which I admit was probably not fair but had to come out. I can tell that what was upsetting me usually wouldn't make me go so overboard but the pregnancy definitely enhances it.
Interestingly when we were on the way to Christmas and got into a little argument he suddenly stopped and said. Oh, I see what you are talking about (about him pushing and picking) and he stopped in his tracks. So at least something positive came out of it. I did have a migraine all day Christmas though because crying is one of my triggers.

it worked well enough but there's definitely been an uptick in the amount of Tums being consumed. I blamed all the crap I ate in the past couple of days but I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Oh yea - I also agree with baths. I have had issues with restless legs and found that an epsom salt bath will calm down my legs when it acts up. Not to mention it is one of the few things that relaxes me these days.
@LaBellaVida I have felt like a human flame thrower with the heartburn lately. I have been taking Pepcid (the target brand) and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY. It was on the approved list from my OB. I hope you can find relief.
Off to my 36 week appointment. Fingers crossed!
I'm sorry for all of you who aren't feeling well, emotionally or physically.
I am pretty damn uncomfortable myself (obviously - we all are!). I'm at work today.
We set up a lot of the nursery yesterday (finally!) so even though we aren't totally done, I officially feel ok if this baby decides to come now. Any time, little girl....any time is fine!
I'm really hoping I have my baby this weekend because if I have to go back to work on Monday, I'll probably cry. In fact, I'm so eager I'm even considering having sex with my husband to see if it does anything.
Woah! You must be serious.
I'm with you - I think I'm going to start having sex again just for this purpose.
Yeeeaaaa, so I am the ONLY person in my entire 3 story building. There was supposed to be a couple more labmates here today, but I guess they said F**k it too. I am staying for another hour or so and then leaving. In all seriousness, it is probably not a good idea for me to be here by myself anyway for multiple reasons.

i may have already started.
I am in this boat too... was hoping to make it past New Years day because of the proximity to Christmas, but at this point I am so uncomfortable I almost don't even care any more.
Still no relief from the heartburn. My throat now hurts. I actually came here to see if there was more I could do besides tums, but maybe not. ... Since everyone else is on the heartburn Wagon. The clinic is closed today or if call my midwife and maybe ask if there was a prescription she could do. I'm not gonna waste l&d time with this, so I'll just deal and hope it goes away.
Suppose I'm up for the day. I'll go start cleaning. I texted my mom and asked if she was up and what time they were leaving. No response. The other day I asked, and they had no idea what time they are leaving. I hate that. I'm a planner, and I'd like to know what time to expect people. I'll probably just half ass my house today. I'll get it back to looking decent, but that's it.

Zantac
is on my approved list. I also got the okay to take Nexium from my OB. I have GERD though, so my heartburn started early and got BAD quickly.
Edit - I have also found that milk will sometimes help the immediate pain. Doesn't last, but sometimes it will help until the pills kick in.

Nexium! It's the best - totally helps me. It's over the counter and you can buy a 14 day supply - take first thing in the morning and it will make a big difference.
I hate waking up 2-3 times at night with awful heartburn other than heartburn I feel pretty awesome for being 35 weeks pregnant! Christmas was very good with my fiances family (: although they take way too many pictures for my liking! I do feel pretty sore so now maybe a good bubble bath is in order today!
I'm seriously debating getting a hotel room in a hotel with an indoor pool so that I can float peacefully for hours.
I say go for it!!
I take my kids to a hotel with a pool overnight on New Year's Eve. We swim, walk around downtown late, try to stay up until midnight, order room service breakfast, swim some more. I've done this when I have my kids for New Years (I'm divorced). We're going this year since it will likely be the last time. (I don't live with BF yet because of housing complications but figure in 2 years I most likely will)

I thought I was reading my own comment haha. So very much all of this.
Just left my Drs appt and she recommended I started having lots of sex. Lmbo, yeah I'm going to get right on that. I have zero desire for sex at this point. I do however feel a tad bit bad for poor hubby, so maybe I will go for it and hope for the best.
I did get a bit of good news, I went from closed, thick and High to at least 1cm, 60% and -2 station. So I'm slooooooowly making progress. Still crossing my fingers that I go into labor so I can vbac vs having my rcs on the 5th.
Guess I should finally stop procrastinating and pack a bag and go buy a car seat right? Lol
Morning ladies! Currently sitting in the tub bc my feet are sooo swollen and the restless leg syndrome at night is intense. I feel sooo much pressure in my pelvis/sore vag - I honestly don't remember that at all with my daughter. Everything is sooo different, except the heart burn and naseau at night...Zantac @LaBellaVida it will save your life- I can't do tums the chalkiness makes me want to gag.
Christmas was ok yesterday- it was nice seeing my daughter opening presents and awesome that we were with my family and dh was able to be there but I still felt a lil grinchy. Dh got me a bracelet with both kids names engraved on it from Tiffanys- really sweet thought but I only wear rose gold so he had kept saying I hope you like it but if not we can return it, I said I love it I just wish I wore more silver. So he said I was rude. ?? Yea maybe shoulda just kept my mouth shut but I sent him the exact necklace I wanted and bc a friend works at Tiffanys instead he went there and spent too much money on something I really won't wear . But whatever I kept telling him I love it and will obviously now have to wear it everyday or he will claim he was right I don't like it and am rude lol men. He said he'll get me the necklace for a baby present...
Honestly I wish I just hadn't said anything bc he had been so sweet night before when he kept saying I was the best mom etc and how much he loved me, that meant way more than any jewlery but of course I'm cranky bc of feeling so sick o well
OK. I'll head to the store in a bit and pick something else up. I've been up cleaning, and haven't had any heartburn while I've been doing that.
Hopefully my H will pick up my slack today. I'm not feeling it, at all. Finally heard from my brothers, they'll be here in about 6 hours. We've got allot to do in 6 hours!
