How are all the lovely J15 moms feeling today?
Re: Daily Symptoms Thread - 4/16
I have an annoying upper respiratory infection.
Plus, my normal restless legs, lower back and hip pain.
I hope everyone is feeling okay today!
Not really noticing a lot of pregnancy related symptoms...
Hope everyone is doing well!
As for me, I've been feeling a little bit like I'm back in the first trimester with this early morning nausea and headaches. Also, as I've said before, annoying dry skin, but I'm increasing my water intake and trying to keep a consistent skin routine to see if it helps at all.
Overall, feeling good and happy that it's my Friday because these kids are already on my last damn nerve.
I had a dream last night that we had a girl (AGAIN! Four or five girl dreams now, zero boy dreams, and we are Team Green. What does that mean?). It was awesome and hilarious because:
a) After she was born, DH said, "I think we should name her Cora" which is a name I lobbied hard for, but he refuses. It was very exciting.
b) It didn't hurt AT ALL. Even in my dream, that was rather exciting.
c) After she was born, we went to Brussels and filled up on all our favorite beers. Someone asked why I was drinking, and I said, "Oh! We had the baby!! Want to see pictures? She's at the hospital this weekend, but we will pick her up on Sunday, on our way home."
I woke up laughing.
But I also had another leg cramp in the middle of the night. I am trying to use my Hypnobirthing techniques on my leg cramps, and just relax and breathe into them. It works surprisingly well if I can remember to do it. I act like that has any relation to childbirth, but the belief that it does is keeping me calm, so whatever. LOL!
Hope everyone's feeling great!
@KarasTwin crossing my fingers for you! I'm also easily annoyed today, but I have no excuse.
And while someone else said doing pelvic tilts for 30 minutes each night worked ....... I tried that.... My fat self could barely get off the ground. Right now I'm alternating heat and ice..... To get him to move maybe....... I'm in misery. And also I feel a headache coming on..... Maybe I should write all this in my pregnancy journal. Heartwarming. Ha.
@knwilliams01 keep up the good morale!
@KarasTwin mean is so a legit symptom. I have it right now..... Lol
@frankengibbs I think we are all reverting back to 1st trimester and then some! Hope your headaches don't get too bad.
Ok ladies...... Hopefully someone can help me spin this baby.....
@laurendutch do you use breath right strips? If not give them a try they aren't fool proof but they make the difference between sleep and no sleep during my allergy season.

I'm not the one that posted it originally but I wanted to look at the site anyway.
I do it 20 minutes 3 times a day. I use my husband's workout bench at a reverse incline. FYI it's a lot on the back and with pregnancy taking away my strong core it has caused some lower back pain so I recommend having a spotter when you do it. I also recommend playing some music... To keep your mind off of howling you have been there and to hopefully encourage your LO to get its groove on/ move out of that breech position
I have never been allergic to any foods in my life, and even throughout my pregnancy thus far have snacked on the bowl of mixed nuts we keep on our kitchen table. I just ate peanut butter yesterday! 15 minutes ago, I grabbed a nut and ate it and within 30 seconds my throat was itching and I could not stop coughing. It went away thank goodness, but I was panicking there for a bit.
I'll be keeping my distance from you, cashew/macadamia/pecan/walnut medley.
Hope all you ladies with colds feel better soon.
@klkonwi I'm not sure of the exact site, but I did watch the video on that website which had a few good inversion exercises to try. I also spent a good amount of time on my exercise ball with my legs/pelvis open and tilted forward to open space for LO to move. Rocking back and forth and in circles plus some mild bouncing helps to open up the pelvis to create room for baby. Sitting on a kitchen chair in reverse and resting your arms and head on the back rest while arching your back so that baby/belly moves toward the back rest (think cow pose from yoga while seated) is supposed to help.
im also really tired.
@lovethatcolosun so sad about your friend's loss, I'm sorry
Ladies, I am posting some opinions on other threads because it is the nature of those threads. But I want to say here that I have come to really lean on and love all you regulars, so I hope that I don't offend you, and if we have different opinions, we can still celebrate the pregnancies that unite us. Symptom: hormonal and weepy xoxo
@klkonwi Thank you, I'm hoping that they don't get bad either because unfortunately Tylenol has about the same affect on me as swallowing an MM would have and I hate the idea of going back to locking myself in a cold dark room all day like I did before.
Less than 8 weeks...I can do this...
Good luck with your 3hr! Keep us posted.
So yeah, case of the meanies and the blahs. Impatient, kinda
@amark11 I feel the same way. I hope I don't make anyone mad or hurt anyone's feelings by accident. I sincerely care about everyone and actually find myself wondering if someone's feeling better or if everyone's ok. Even if all the other BMs don't approve I think we're all pretty awesome.
My symptom is I can't keep my sugar up. I forget to eat small meals and I don't have room for a large meal. I can defiantly feel the difference in my size lately. Our baby is a growin fast.
Which reminds me. Another symptom today. Lazy. Hubby went to the gym and I said I would have dinner ready when he got home. Sat on the couch and contemplated ordering Chinese take out and telling him I made it so he wouldn't guilt me (we are trying to cut back on eating out to save some money this month), but then I thought what if he likes it and asks me to make it again and this becomes a web of lies I have to keep up for years and years? Decided against it and realized I could have made dinner in the time it took to play that hypothetical scenario out in my head.
I didn't full on slip and fall getting out of the bathtub today, but I definitely slipped and landed on my bum. That was terrifying! I called my doc even though I didn't even hurt myself just to check. All's good, though. I just need to start being more careful. #:-S
Do your "whip your herr back and forth" moves après-bath on the bathmat, methinks.
Haha, safety is a buzzkill to the hair-ography.
