  • I have this lovely back pain since about 3 this afternoon. It starts low when i get up and then goes up to about the bottom of my rib cage in the back. It only eases when I lay on my left on my couch completely flat with no pillows. It makes it really hard to walk up or down stairs or very far. Anybody else having oddly specific back pain?

    I havent had any BH contractions today, which makes me happy, but baby girl is never happy when I lay on my left.
  • I'm having some nasal congestion so breathing is a little difficult. Other than that doing pretty well.
  • Yay! Figured out why im having such horrible back pain! Yes, I pinched a nerve and it's nit healed, but when im sleeping on my side my growing belly is getting heavy and putting extra stress on my back. Sooooo, instead of snuggling with a pillow, it should be under my belly supporting it! DUH! Maybe I should have put this on the flame free confession thread instead ;)
  • As of today, I'm dizzy. Sitting, standing, whatever. Just dizzy. I could do without this.

  • Just got off work and bushed. Usual feet stuff going on - swelling feet, my ankles hurt and are mad swollen, the arches of my already flat ass feet fell further, blah blah blah. I've been home and cruising tb from bed for only half an hour and I have to pee again. I don't want to get up and put my feet back on the floor, and subsequently my weight back on my feet.

    Serious props to those of you like nurses who are working full time, constant daily all day or night shifts on your feet. I know its just my old injuries being made worse by pregnancy - I know I could deal if I weren't pregnant, I've done it tons before - but its amazing how much the relaxin, etc makes those usually bearable aches so much worse.

  • I really want to do some light hiking @amark11 ! The weather finally just got nice in New England. I'm hoping to find a park to walk around in this weekend and see how long I can handle... Good luck and enjoy it!
  • Having horrible pelvic floor pain anytime I move my legs, when I go to sit, stand, switch positions. And of course the babe is positioned in the perfect position that has made my sciatic nerve act up.
  • Braxton hicks as I walked through the zoo and general tiredness. I also decided to start spending some time on the exercise ball to help with baby positioning and pelvic placement. After about 45 minutes, I had the weirdest sensations in my pelvic region...like everything spread. I guess... mission accomplished!

    I've been trying this for my back pain to move her around to a more comfortable position and it hasn't work yet ugh happy for you tho!

    On my way to work, I started seeing stars. Stopped to lean against a wall and didn't feel light headed or more out of breath than usual, so I kept going, though more slowly and close to a wall. It eventually went away.

    After work, I took a 1.5 hour walk with DH through our city. My hands swelled badly and I was so achey when I woke up today. Going to just lay in bed today and rest.

    Going on a hike with DH and four friends tomorrow. It was something I could have done very easily last week, but I'm getting a little nervous that it's too ambitious now. There are several opportunities along the way to tap out, so I am going to try it and see what happens.

    Good luck on your hike! I've found that when I go walking now it's helpful to have a thing of water with me. The swelling still happens a little but the water makes me feel better.

  • I feel like this is strange but I've been growing skin tags- they last about 3-4 weeks and then kind of scab and fall off. What the hell pregnancy?? This is something I just can't understand. I had one on my nipple and my husband was making fun of me!!!
  • @Emilywooddesign Me too! Those little skin tags have been popping up in my underarms and I had one on my nipple. The ones in the underarms make for dangerous shaving conditions - especially in a hospital shower! Gotta love the glamorous parts of pregnancy!

    I have had them for both pregnancies. One of my least favorite symptoms. I get tiny ones on my neck. Barely noticeable, just annoying.
  • yes, I have a few skin tags now around my armpits and between my thighs.

    @esampson1983 thanks for the water tip! water is heavy so I make DH carry it :-)
  • Worst upper back pain today. And Braxton hicks. I feel like my ribs are being pushed up and out, like I am being stretched beyond what my body can do.
    I see a physiotherapist on Monday and hopefully can get some advice on good stretches.
  • This is my first pregnancy and I have noticed skin tags on my underarms and starting on my nipples. Im so glad im not the only one! Makes me feel much better now!
