Weekend symptoms 4/11-12

Whatcha got?

I finally am having those rib issues everyone's been talking about, that is likely actually a cartilage issue... Ow! Stretching ain't doing much.

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

Baby has been super squirmy underneath my ribs on the right side today. And really strangely sometimes when I stand up, it feels like I have a huge bruise on my tailbone, but it will go away randomly and then come back randomly. I don't feel it when sitting or laying, just standing. Which makes no sense to me, but there it is.

We did pictures today and it was in the 80s at 2:00 and pics were outside, I got so hot and my feet and ankles are ridiculously swollen. I'm sitting with them elevated and a cold wet towel wrapped around them, but it seriously feels like the skin is going to burst on my feet. Also just had a major sneezing fit out of nowhere.

My newest symptom....constipation

I've been eating prunes and veggies and drinking water like crazy...and walking a lot. The other day it was so bad I had to have a suppository and that didn't work so we did an enema and boy did that work, but it was painful. I don't won't to do that again

so I've been watching my diet and upping my fiber and water intake. At almost 32 weeks I am waddling like a duck and pretty worn out all the time haha, but it's all worth it. Hope everyone else's symptoms are manageable

Careful with enemas. Doc told me they can induce labor. I have Miralax everyday. It's the only thing that helps me. Good luck!

I do probiotics daily. They help a lot. And the physician's assistant said that they help baby's immune system. Good luck!

As far as my symptoms go. I've felt pretty good today. I may have over done it thought because now my lower back is achy. I'm resting now so hopefully that helps!

lovethatcolosun · April 2015

I've been laying in bed for the last half hour with nausea and heartburn. Just an overall sick tummy feeling. Took the opportunity to listen to LO's heartbeat on the Doppler. She has definitely shifted positions. This is the first time I have heard her on the right side. :x I also woke up at 5 this morning so I'm hoping tonight I'll get a good nights sleep.

klkonwi · April 2015

I am dying. A slow 9 month death. Yes I'm dramatic no I do not care.....
I actually left my house (first time all week) today to go to a 'sprinkle' for a friend..... Waaaay overdid it. Was standing the whole time and I learned my lesson. I also worry now that I'm on leave if ppl judge me for leaving my house ? Hmmm....

lovethatcolosun · April 2015

@klkonwi glad you were able to get out of the house. At least now you know your limits. How are your headaches? As far as other people go, eff them if they do judge you. You're not on restricted bed rest and I think attending a sprinkle is far easier than pulling a night shift!

All of this. I hope your headaches are a little better, at least. And screw what those people think. You gots my respect

klkonwi · April 2015

I have not had a headache in 2 whole days! Yay!!!! Thank you for asking @mellymar

Westypet · April 2015

@klkonwi !! I hope you broke the cycle!!!

Going out of the house for a few hours isn't something to feel guilty about. When I'm taking it easy and have told people that, I just keep everything off Facebook and social media so I don't get a backlash. Sad, but true.

I hope you enjoyed yourself at the sprinkle. Next time, grab a chair! #scolding

Edited the crazy amount of !!! I had in the original comments, lol.

ciennah99 · April 2015

The last couple weeks I've had a shift in my GI problems from mostly constipation to now loose stools, stomach cramps, urgency. It's bad. Sometimes I can barely make it to the toilet bc of the cramping. I've had IBS before & was on a more restricted diet so will prob need to try some food elimination trials. Hard part is I'm still throwing up at times, nauseous, heartburn, indigestion. It's fun. Anyone else having these kinda of problems?

klkonwi · April 2015

Yeah that's the bad part is Facebook. The friend tagged and thanked us all..... Bleh! Thank you for all the nice words.

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

@ciennah99 no experience but ugh, that sounds miserable. Hope it evens out soon for ya

Arailah · April 2015

Sleep has become a distant memory.

Little guy is insanely active and has shifted around in a way that his movements feel totally different than my first two. He's always been active at night especially and I am absolutely unable to sleep through them. Last night he thunked around from 10pm-2:30am and then started up again at 6am. I had to try to sleep in the recliner. Little guy won't let me sleep on either side or it feels like he's pummeling both my pelvis/hips area and stretching out my belly button. Totally bizarre.

9 more weeks of this is going to be quite long - I don't think he will slow down. Can't wait for June.

I was going to say I wouldn't feel guilty, but I probably would. You shouldn't though, leaving for a few hours is a lot different than working a whole shift. When these babies get here and we're on maternity leave, no one expects us to stay home the whole time. And yay for a break from headaches!

HoosOnFirst · April 2015

SO much insomnia last night. And a panic attack because every room in our house looks like we just moved in. I wanted to cry. I just kept telling DH, "If I don't finish a project or room tonight I feel like I'm going to lose it". I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we need to get done, I look at a task and just get paralyzed by it. Poor DH, he couldn't say anything to help my brain. I'm sure he was frustrated.

ciennah99 · April 2015

@hoodoll82 every room of my house looks the same. Granted we did just move but still I understand how overwhelming & frustrating it is, especially when I don't feel well or have enough energy to get things done. We don't even have furniture in several rooms. I'm hoping baby doesn't come til June cause I need the time to prepare. Still got to do my taxes today! With everything going on I kinda forgot!

karaelaine1991 · April 2015

Totally exhausted today! I had one of my baby showers yesterday and while it was so fun, putting all these gifts away is incredibly overwhelming. I finished putting the clothes away last night but there's still so much to do. The mess is driving me crazy but I'm completely drained - AND I have schoolwork now. I had a wonderful time and I'm stunned by people's generosity so the exhaustion is well worth it, but I do wish I had more energy. Also, my baby brain seems to have gotten 1000x worse over the weekend. This is by far my least favorite pregnancy symptom, I HATE being forgetful!

apeschka · April 2015

Seriously nauseated and sick which sucks when your kid is kicking you in constantly and by that I mean both my baby and my 2 yr old. He is now locked in his room for a time out after that. My husband is sick and acting like a huge baby its driving me nuts. 11 weeks seems like forever away

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2015

Can't remember if I read it here or from lurking on May, but I saw that ice cream can help with heartburn. Tried it today, and it totally worked! Not for the whole day, but I maybe had some around breakfast time and it kept heartburn at bay through lunch. I see a problem in my future... Fortunately we don't have a freezer!

Totally using this as an excuse to eat more ice cream. Thanks for sharing!

Ice cream for breakfast. I'm behind this. 100%

lovethatcolosun · April 2015

Ice cream or Tums? Hummmm, so many difficult choices while pregnant.

Now I want ice cream.

kerrymarie44 · April 2015

I feel like one of my twins is just going to fall out. The pressure is ridiculous

HoosOnFirst · April 2015

How is it possible to feel both hungry (stomach growling) AND stuffed with heartburn? It's a cruel world...

Serenamarr · April 2015

I keep forgetting to eat. I won't feel hungry for hours and hours and then all of a sudden I'm dizzy and starving and thinking, oh yeah I haven't eaten in 7 hours.

THIS. THIS THIS THIIIIIS.

and ice cream helps with heartburn??!
I so want to try that right now, except... stairs.

momtobeobrien · April 2015

I go from having no appetite to starving to feeling like im going to puke all within minutes of each other. If I don't eat when im hungry my head will be in the toilet

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2015

I should add a SMALL amount of ice cream. ;-) I had like a mini scoop on a cone and didn't eat the cone (since it wasn't part of the "prescribed medicine.") one woman on the thread that I read said she will have one spoonful of vanilla when her heartburn acts up. Others suggested milk. Apparently it works as a coating on your stomach.

Let me know your own results! Hope it works :-)

A small glass of almond milk has helped with mine as well. Not as fun as ice cream

HoosOnFirst · April 2015

I drink milk allllll the time and still have heartburn it's not fair!
