Daily symptoms and questions Tues 3/24

Man my back pain was unreal last night. I'm thinking of taking everyone's suggestions of Tylenol PM soon! I did also find a local massage therapist who specializes in pre-natal so I'm gonna scrape together some funds. Trying to wait until I'm a little further along since I'm only going to do it once.

Also, my skin was good most of this pregnancy until now. Breaking out, mini burst blood vessels, etc. I have an Elizabeth Grady gift card I'm pumped to be able to use to get s facial...

    Heartburn/acid reflux kept me up all night last night - no fun! 30 weeks today though so I only have to deal with this stuff for 10 more weeks and then I get to hold my sweet little baby - assuming she comes on time :)

    ETA also I need it to get warmer here so I can start wearing sundresses on a regular basis... my bump makes it way too difficult to put pants on in the morning!

  • Yeah, gonna start in on the benefiber here today cause I've been taking my iron supplements like a good girl, and it wasn't so bad until last night...the job was done, but that could have been an easier thing.
    For some reason woke up way early for no reason and with no prompting of any kind! Hip hurts from laying on the side. I want to go back to sleep - why can't I go back to sleep!?

  • @mellymar I'm in the same boat. I wake up and can't fall asleep again. Whatever side I sleep on hurts from hip to foot from all the pressure bearing down. I hate sleeping on my side. Also really feeling short of breath today. I feel like I could take a nap and I've only been up a few hours.
  • I think I was diluted when I said that I thought I was going to be over this cough soon seeing as I woke up in the middle of the night coughing so violently that I threw up. Now I'm concerned that if I could cough so hard that I could puke, I could go into early labor as well and that doesn't help with my PGAL brain. She's back to kicking again which is good, but I'm still not feeling so great and beyond annoyed that I got sick because the kids I nanny don't understand the meaning of turning your fucking head when you cough and that I don't like being touched...I want to go home...
  • @frankengibbs i feel so bad you've been sick for so long. Has your doc had any suggestions to help you get over your cough? I hope you feel better soon!

    Last night i started to get a really sore throat. I took a cold eeze this morning it made me feel nauseous so i spit it out. Hoping it's temporary and a day on the couch with some tea will make me feel better. I've dodged most of cold/flu season, im praying it doesn't catch up with me now.
  • I think I slept from about 1:30 to 5:30 this morning...so the inability to stay asleep is catching up with me. Also the same pain I had yesterday in my lower right abdomen is still here, but it's ok when I sit/stand still...it's only when I'm walking or in motion for a long time.
  • Sooo tired! Which is making me very lazy. I think I'm more tired now than in first tri.
  • Headaches so bad........ :(
  • I've got two new things going on. First, leg cramps while sleeping. The past two nights I've gotten one in my left hamstring when I roll over. I caught it early and was able to stretch it out before it got really bad. I never had them with my other pregnancy, so this is new and not pleasant! The other one is going to be tmi. My vag hurts! Like the outside. It reminds me of what it feels like to recover from childbirth (not that bad, though). I just want to put an ice pack down there! It's kind of sore and tender....? Ugh. Nice. Anyone else have that going on?? Also something I never experienced with DD1.

  • My hips! I saw some people say the same thing. Sleeping on ur side sucks. And when I switch both sides hurt like hell. Walking limpy the past few days.
  • Been a bad day over all for this momma. My grandfather passed away this morning and i am completely heart broken. On top of that dealing with extremely itchy skin, I just want to rip off my skin today.
  • @MCRM14 I'm so sorry about your grandfather. Mine passed away in September and I actually didn't realize I was pregnant until week 7, because I thought my symptoms were grief. I hope your memories will comfort you. My deepest sympathies.

    Doc called today to say I need to start taking iron pills. Thyroid, vitamin, magnesium, now iron. I am taking more pills per day than I took all of last year! Whatever it takes, I guess...
  • @MCRM14 I'm so sorry for your loss.

    I'm having trouble getting comfortable at night and I'm also getting cramps in my right foot. It's like my toes curl and I have to work to stretch them out. Also my sweet tooth is out of control and my will power has gone out of the window...
  • I'm soooo irritated and tired I've been pregnant for a year due to a previous miscarriage I woke up this morning really anxious and mad everyone around me just makes it worse and when I express myself no one cares I'am very unprepared for this baby even though it's my 3rd financial problems just keep popping up everywhere I really just want to go to sleep and can't I feel like I can't be at my best looking forward to the next 10 weeks I hope they fly......:(
  • @MCRM14 I'm really sorry for your loss.

    I feel pretty good, no aches or pains yet which I'm surprised about bc I'm carrying twins. Is anyone still taking diclectin? I've tried to stop taking it but I end up spending the day throwing up, it also helps me digest my iron pills which I really need to take. My feet get very sore pretty quickly and I am having a harder time sleeping- I can't wait until I can sleep on my tummy again.
  • Lower abdominal pains, leg cramps, aching back, pressure when I stand up after sitting too long. My hips hurt as well when I switch sides. I cant stay asleep either. I cant imagine it getting worse.
  • Am I the only one with awful headaches? .... All the drugs my doc has given me have NOT worked...... Any suggestions would be amazing ?
  • I know this isn't pregnancy related im sure but I have this stupid fluttering in my ear that is so loud and won't stop!!!! I can't sleep either :-(
  • Woke up feeling dehydrated... Downed a bottle of water... Feels like it wants to come up. Lol now she's up kicking everything.

    Yuck, sorry lady. I always get them when I am dehydrated, but as a nurse, you have probably taken care of that angle. My other most frequent cause is forgetting my daily cup of coffee (I used to drink like 6 cups per day before I got pregnant, so yeah, I am an addict.) But I find a nice long bath clears most symptoms for me, and going to bed early.  Wish I could be of more help, and hope you find something that works soon.
  • Yes, I've been dealing with headaches for the past few days. One thing has helped is drinking like 4-6 oz of Gatorade and then a full drink of water.

    I've been having pressure at the bottom of my uterus. It doesn't feel like BH or contractions. I've been drinking a ton of water. My kids have been dealing with the stomach flu so I don't know if it's related to that. I have a Drs appointment in a few hours.

    I actually tried calling my OB yesterday and apparently their nurse line number has changed and they didn't inform me...I guess I have no choice but to wait it out until my appointment next week. I figure if I feel like something is really wrong or that I'm having legitimate contractions, I have my DH and mom on call to take me to the hospital. In the meantime, I'm just trying to rest as much as I can and not let work stress me out too much.
