@frankengibbs - big internet hugs over the loss of your friend. I'm sorry that you are hurting. Grief is a tricky, sneaky bastard to punch us in the gut so many times when we are or aren't expecting it. But the reason we grieve so much is because we LOVED so much... And that much love is a precious thing.
@KarasTwin my doctors office didn't mention to me beforehand that they were also testing for anemia and hematocrit, etc when they did my GTT, but they sure did. Hopefully its something as simple as needing to take an iron pill. Damn them for not leaving a more detailed message! Even something like - its not a big deal, but please call the office when you are available. Or, why didn't they try your work #? They should know that would be the easier place to reach you during the day. (Unless of course, you have told them not to call your work. It happens)
I honestly can't remember if I've given them my work number or not. I have a direct line so it wouldn't be an issue for them to call me there, I probably just didn't give them the number, but I definitely will be when I call tomorrow. I don't even know if the person who called is a nurse or lab tech or front desk person so I don't know what to think. It drives me crazy not having good cell service at work!
Ugh so more venting than symptoms, but I went to hem yet another pair of maternity pants. Sewed the whole leg inside out. Tried to take out stitches, back pain too immense as I hunched over. My husband found me sprawled out on the rug, trying to stretch out my back, holding a pair of pants, out of breath and saying "I give up." God love him, he offered to hem the pants for me but I was too grumpy and told him I'd just try again tomorrow.
Solid 2 days of sunshine where I am in Nebraska and it's def lifted my moods! Started sleeping with 2 regular pillows stacked under my hips and it's helped hip pain sooo much for any of you ladies wanting to try something diff. No headaches for over 4 days! eek! Ok.... I'm too happy today someone check to see what's wrong with me.
@frankengibbs that grief can just come along and hit you anytime but I'm so sorry today is rough Will be thinking of you.
Baby shower is Saturday 2 hrs away. Mexican food ....... I'm excited but nervous bcuz the essentials are all still left on the registry. I'm not being ungrateful but just don't want to spend a boatload on diapers at the last minute esp when I'm not working ...
I had an ECV yesterday and a rhogam shot. My bump is a little sensitive today especially when I am wearing a seatbelt and Minion is kicking me in the same spot... Fun times. I also feel completely exhausted. My body is achy and my throat hurts and ears hurt. I hope it's just some side effects from the rhogam. My back is also killing me from all the pelvic tilting. And because I don't feel great I'm grumpy and emotional. I held it together till I got home from work and texted DH to warn him that my hormones were on the war path.
As I have told people... It's just a very third trimester day for me. Hope tomorrow is better for us all!
Not really a symptom, but I went swimming at the Y today while DH was working a 2 hour lifeguard shift there. Was having a good time kicking back and forth, burning some calories using the pool noodle to push under the water like push ups, etc. Spent a while afterward just back floating and spacing out staring at the ceiling. Then came time to get out of the pool, and suddenly I'm a beached whale again. Instant mood crash :-<
Alright, I'm thinking that this is a symptom but I've not yet seen anyone else post about it... The last two days I have been experiencing a buzzing/vibrating feeling in my lower pelvic region... There is nothing external causing it (just for clarification) I don't know if this is normal or anyone else is having it... Maybe my symptom is actually overactive imagination... Anyone else had a similar sensation?
Not really a symptom, but I'm in a panic. My doctor's office called me while I was at work today and since I have crappy cell service there I didn't get the voice mail until I left at 5. Of course they were closed and I had to leave a message. All they said was this is Amy from Dr's office, but specifically named the doctor I saw at my last appointment a week and a half ago. I feel like it was something serious for them to just ask that I call back and not say what they needed. I took my glucose test on the 3rd and they told me if I didn't hear back by the 8th to assume I passed. That's the only thing I can think it might be but having to wait till 8:30 tomorrow morning is making me all sorts of anxious.
When I did my glucose test they also did an anemia (low iron) test and a test for O- antibodies to see if I needed the rhogam shot. They called me later to give me those results. Could that be it? Try not to stress too much, just call them first thing to get some peace of mind.
@lovethatcolosun I don't know, they didn't mention that they were testing for anything else. I'm trying to keep calm, but it's really hard.
Yep.....same thing with me. They automatically check for iron and a couple other things with the glucose blood draw. I got a call about my low iron. No surprise for me there!

In my local twin group, one of the Moms just had quads. When she was on hospital bed rest, they okayed her to use the therapy pool. She said it was the only time she felt "normal". I'm going to have to start taking my kids swimming just to take some pressure off my back.

Yep, happens to me every morning. Swim my laps, think "wow that was a good workout, I'm doing pretty good, don't feel too pregnant". Then flop out of the pool grunting ungracefully, struggle to get to standing, feel my thigh chub rub all the way to the locker room. I've got to start swimming over to the ladder, or better yet the handicap stairs.
