Morning ladies! How's creating life treating your body today?

I'm developing an unfortunate routine of insomnia. I stayed up late watching the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Beiber. Seriously so worth it. Belly laughed the whole way through. Now I'm up since 4, hoping to induce sleepiness by surfing TB. I may have to nap with DS today. Other than that I've just been feeling the belly aches from muscle stretching and slight indigestion.

This isn't technically a pregnancy symptom, but I got my pertussis shot yesterday and my upper arm is so sore now. Yesterday was completely pain free, which amazed me, but then at night DH tried to rest his head on my shoulder for like 2 seconds - soreness immediately. I've felt like someone punched me there ever since. Definitely ready for that to be over!

I also had a dream about DD last night! First one where I got a good look at her face - she definitely took after DH, which I'm expecting to be true when she actually makes her appearance. I can't wait to see her for real!

@lovethatcolosun that roast was hilarious, my bf and I watched it the other night! At one point when baby was kicking and my bf said "I think she likes it too"

Dehydration has been kicking my ass the last few weeks. It seems that no matter how much water I drink before bed and during the multiple times I wake up in the night it's never enough. Some people have suggested Gatorade or energy drinks since they help with dehydration, I might just have to try that.

Still the same wretched abdominal pain. Cant wait for my doctor appointment tomorrow to ask just how normal this shiz is because it is obnoxious. On a positive note, I slept (dare i say) like a baby last night! I went to sleep at 10pm and only woke up a t 4am, 6am and 6:30 before my alarm at 7:15. Only 3 wake-ups is a pretty good night for me!

I slept really good last night and was really sad when my alarm for work went off. Then when I was getting ready for work I noticed I have small pus sacs on my toncils. Now I'm worried I may have to have my mom get me from work and take me to an urgent care because apparently at DH's job it's a no-no to take time off work for your wife...
Anyways, I gargled some salt water before leaving and have tea packed in my bag and now I'm waiting to see what will happen next since I can't take ibuprofen and sleep it off like normal. LO is kicking so I'm doing my best not to feel too anxious.
On the more pregnancy related side, I still have that weirdly dry skin and I think my baby girl is going through a growth spurt because my appetite is ridiculous.

PhoenixFrances · April 2015

@lovethatcolosun take heart you are not alone I have recently also developed insomnia! Funny thing is I can fall asleep no problem but then I'm awake an hour later and Wide awakeready to clean organize and everything else. But boy oh boy do I pay for it during the day. 8:30 AM here and I am ready for a nap! Thanks for the suggestion for comity I think I will take a look at that!

LaurenAnn0405 · April 2015

DS is crowding my lungs and making it hard to take nice deep breaths-this just started 2 days ago and it's annoying but on a positive note I only woke up once last night! Hope all is going well for everyone!

aj1327 · April 2015

@karaelaine1991 I got mine on Monday. Tuesday it was really sore but got better each day. Today it feels almost back to normal. It was really annoying though!

I was so tired last night. Super emotional & everything hurt. I went to get some ice cream that I've already eaten some of and I noticed a slit in the carton. I freaked about that because I was scared germs had possibly gotten in there. My husband is of course not worried. I feel like my anxiety is through the roof!

finchfeeder80 · April 2015

I didn't sleep as well the last hour before my alarm went off, I had a lot of pelvic pressure and just couldn't get comfortable. I'm surprised I'm not struggling more to stay awake at my desk, especially since it's slow here today!

Not really a symptom, but I felt the baby from the outside for the first time last night! It's the first time I've really tried. It seems like most of the time when I put my hand where I feel movement, it stops. I'll have to try again tonight and see if I can't get the hubs in on the action. I've got one squirmy wormy on my hands today, though! I'm not complaining, but my munchkin is hosting some kind of dance party or jazzercise class in there!

rsalata · April 2015

My baby is always moving. He moves sooo much more than my previous pregnancy. I can even see my belly move when I lay down and lift my shirt up. I can put objects on my belly and watch them bounce. Its cute.

Thanks for the info! Mine's feeling a little bit better as the day's progressing... I just think it's so weird how it was totally fine and then the second DH put pressure on it, it was like instant pain! He was super pouty when I told him that he needed to find a new position, too *rolls eyes*

klkonwi · April 2015

@frankengibbs aww! That sounds awful. Maybe get that checked. Strep cannot be great for you or baby just in case.......

klkonwi · April 2015

My symptoms are that I finally slept an entire night for the first time in a week and a half ..... And a headache just came back this afternoon but not an I'm dying type..... Dull. So more codeine for me. Very dry skin as well. I find that taking the hottest damn shower I can when having any abdominal pain is working wonders..... Except I shower 2 x a day now lol @finchfeeder80 I swear my little shit knows when you want to feel them and stops ! Esp for my husband.

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

Woke up really early again and was like - oh hell, no. And somehow I fell back asleep until later. Main 'symptom' today - I'm frickin' cranky. Just, lots of stuff is pissing me off today and I'm not even really doing anything. I washed my hair and was mad about the amount of conditioner I had left. I have to go to the store and decided to try on and wear some maternity clothes a friend loaned me and I'm mad about wearing them. I want to get out of the house and I will to go to the store, but I'm mad about that. Hello, Ms. Crankypants.

megtyrrell · April 2015

Heartburn. So, so bad. And lately I've had a sore throat which I thought was due to seasonal allergies, perhaps. But right now I feel like I might have a fever.

seesea · April 2015

@finchfeeder80 thank you for recommending Zantac! I just started it this week since I wanted to finish off my tums. I noticed that my fasting blood sugar levels were lower in the morning. Turns out taking tums in the middle of the night messed with my sugars. I was taking the chewable tums kind of like starburst. I was struggling with my fasting numbers and now it's like, duh! So again, thanks so much!

So now my heartburn/ acid reflux is under control I definitely feel some relief. I still have some of my usual aches and pains but this time around I have icky discharge. I used to take weekly progesterone shots and now I have to use daily suppositories (the pharmacy ran out of my shots, bastards!). Not fun.

ElRuby · April 2015

I feel lots of pressure... I remember from last time that sensation that the baby would "fall out" but I didn't remember it being this early! Oh and heartburn although that seems to be pretty consistent so I have just accepted it as part of life... Luckily tums help!

LaurenS119 · April 2015

@valeriemarie24 you could also try coconut water, it has less sugar than Gatorade and really good for hydrating.

I just have the same ongoing symptoms, bad heartburn and acid reflux and that painful/numb feeling under my left boob at my ribs and corresponding pain in my back at my ribs.

mccall35 · April 2015

I'm just feeling super irritable tonight. I apologize in advance for any snippy comments I may be making on other threads. I just can't shut off the snark.

Also my feet are on fire! They are soo hot, allll the time.

Thank you!

I feel loved! The salt water must have worked because don't see any visible irritation anymore, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I've had issues with my toncils for about 6 years now after getting strep and toncilitis at the same time (my throat closed off, they were bloody, green and covered in pus sacs). They really should've removed my toncils but my former doctor deemed it "too invasive". So now if I get sick, they like to get nasty and infected and since I had a weird cough I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they are acting up.
Anyways, seeing my OB tomorrow so I'll see what she thinks and if anything changes I won't hesitate to go to the ER.

BabyBalstad · April 2015

Gas every night. Starts out with egg burps, then terrible gas. Might be acid reflux and slow digestion combined, but it sure makes for an unpleasant environment for the (very kind and gracious) husband.
