Manic Monday Symptoms 4/20

Good morning mommas! How are you all feeling today?
Re: Manic Monday Symptoms 4/20
So yesterday, I wake up, DH makes a nice pancake breakfast and I proceeded to throw everything up an hour or so later. I had diarrhea all day and a fever that developed late in the day. All signs of preterm labor. Baby was moving really well all day so i tried not to freak out too much. Really didnt want to return to the hospital so was gonna give it till today to see how things were going. Thankfully just ate breakfast and everything seems fine. Still debating if i should call the doctor and go in despite feeling better. Wondering if yesterday was a fluke or a touch of food poisoning.
Needless to say, i need another weekend to recover from my weekend.
@laurendutch - I've had this feeling too!! I read somewhere that if you lift your belly up a little (and not pitch forward) while peeing, it helps completely empty the bladder. For now, I just settle for peeing twice whenever I go. Haha.
Today's going okay for me symptoms-wise.
Still coughing from residual bronchitis and have a pulled muscle on my side that's more annoying than anything.
I worked a bridal show yesterday, so my ankles are a bit swollen, and I'm certainly fatigued.
Majorly dehydrated and trying to get some fluids that aren't going to give me heartburn or nausea like water does.
Having some pretty much unfounded anxiety about falling or slipping because I really feel much bigger than I was last week. Taking the stairs in my house very, very slowly.
Having SUPER intense cleaning/soap/nesting urges. After washing the dishes by hand before loading them in the dishwasher last night, I took a shower with hubby, and he let me soap him up a ridiculous amount with a soapy sponge. I didn't get up in the middle of the night to clean the bathroom like I did over the weekend, but I am going to treat myself to some car wash supplies this afternoon if I get my work done today.
My fantasy:
and seriously, if anyone knows of a good way to hydrate without heartburn, i will love you forever and consider changing my future daughters name to yours lol who would have ever thought water would cause so much heartburn
I attempted to do a quick workout yesterday after our 7 hour childbirth class. I think I started having some Braxton Hicks. I chugged water and put my feet up for the rest of the night. I'm feeling huge today. LO is moving a lot, and I'm exhausted. I'm hoping to head home after work, put my feet up, and convince DH to pick up burgers. If I get sweet potato fries it's healthy, right?
I am off today - the Boston Marathon precludes me from getting to work, hooray! So I'm driving DH crazy, I'm finally starting to nest. I'm definitely going to get yelled at today when I move a piece of furniture I shouldn't. I'm boxing up grad school notes and books to make room in our house. Everything is a mess but I can't help myself!
April Showers bring...May... Babies...?
Looks like we will be meeting our baby boy mid May! Here's what's going on...
At the beginning of the month, I was admitted to Labor and Delivery for monitoring due to some higher than normal blood pressure reads (that appointment and the one prior). It was pretty scary but everything checked out perfectly with me and baby. I wasn't given any directions to change anything and just to be aware of symptoms of preeclampsia and what to do if I get any, etc. We chalked it up to "white coat syndrome" (I get a little anxious every time I go to the doctor... I know I'm not alone on this!).
On Thursday at my normal checkup, no surprise, high blood pressure read again. After discussing it thoroughly with my OB, I was diagnosed with Gestational Hypertension. Unless my reads start to stabilize and improve, I will be induced at 37 weeks.
Today we saw our MFM specialist (whom we already see for an echogenic focus on his liver (aka "bright spot") and discussed the diagnoses for a second opinion; she agreed with the OB. So... as of now, we will induce in 4 weeks. Best case, reads improve and we can take it week to week and try to make it 40. Worse case, I could begin to develop preeclampsia/ BP could worsen and threaten healthy of baby and we could deliver sooner.
Good news: I feel pretty great and I haven't been given any restrictions besides "take it easy" (yay, no bed rest!), baby looks great, his head down and his movement is great. There's my Monday so far. Therefore: Symptom = overwhelmed.
Headache first thing this AM..... >:/
I pretty much can't handle today......
Also I feel like my co workers are assholes. Not one has texted or called since I've been on leave.......
@teather5 holy cow what an eventful couple of days you have had! Here's to hoping your blood pressure stays low! Take it easy, mama!
How is it today? I would think your bp would be good considering how much you exercise (WAY more than I do, which is pretty much none).
Edited - 'no issues' to 'no issues'. I mean 'bp issues'. Wtf autocorrect? (Left the previous sentence as an example of how it snuck up on me. Twice)
My best friend since college hasn't been in touch with me since OCTOBER, when I told her I was pregnant. We are friends because we are both selfish Aholes but this is a bit much. That said, I admit to being the person who always forgets to check in but always care and am really glad to get the updates. I am grateful for the friends who know this and don't hold it against me...
I am still coughing like a smoker and totally congested in my head. Went for a follow-up with my doctor after Friday's crazy episode and he acted as if he had no idea why I'd come. . . Super annoying. So, I guess unless I exhibit more stroke-like symptoms, I'll just keep on truckin'.
Any word from @frankengibbs ?
I've been busy cleaning and nesting today. Prepping for my sprinkle on Sunday. My hostesses live on the outskirts of town, so my house is a logical choice. I just don't want to clean the damn thing. Lol. Luckily I have a friend helping me that is staying with us for a few weeks. It's always nice to have an extra hand. With that said, I'm like a lot of you other ladies and have been tiring out easily and having SOB. It's incredibly frustrating. So I'm taking it easy right now folding cloths and thumbing through TB while DS naps. I'll take my breaks when I can get them.
As for those trying to rehydrate without heartburn, a friend said milk was her first choice to ward off HB. It does the opposite for me so who the hell knows. Maybe eat some watermelon?
No self-blame for you, missus. Just take it easy and stick to the doc's orders.
Maybe you and @klkonwi aren't getting texts because want to leave you alone on leave? I know I hesitate to call/text people when they're out of the office because I worry about my timing and disturbing rest/relaxation.
Otherwise, they're just buttheads and self-involved like the rest of the world...
Other than that no real pregnancy symptoms besides peeing a lot, but that's not a real shocker there... Ha!
Oh and crying for no reason... I was watching Miss Congeniality the other night and was at a funny part and started crying uncontrollably. Glad DH missed that wonderous sight! What's up with that hormones?!?!?!?
And yes, I haven't seen @frankengibbs post for a while either
Am I imagining that @frankengibbs had an important appointment today??
