Yep. I'm officially the person/patient that I've made fun of in the past for worrying so much about fetal movement. I want to go in...... But I probably should just wait......
My baby is super active and if her activity changed from that to inactive out of the blue, I would call. Don't worry about being "that patient" - baby's health is top priority! I hope all is well and LO is just taking it easy today!
Feeling pretty good today! I've noticed that days when I'm more active are days when I feel better - today I have my internship, so it's fitting in with that pattern. I'm not sure if I actually feel that well, or if it's just that I'm so busy running around that I don't realize how sore/tired I am. Either way, maybe this is a sign that I should be doing more during the day on my days off!
I attribute my relatively easy pregnancy to staying stupidly active. Though it's probably cyclical - I can be active because I'm lucky enough to feel pretty good, usually. Anyway, glad you're feeling well!
Found the greatest underwear at Target for chub rub! It's by Jockey and they are bike shorts but super thin! Perfect for skirts and summer!
YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON. I have been looking for undies that I could wear with skirts/ dresses to be comfy and came up with nothing. I ended up ordering a shaper on destination maternity which will work but it's soooo much for just regular wear. It's like spanx for preggie ladies. I dont need that feeling just going to work. Are these the right ones? https://www.jockey.com/catalog/product/modern-micro-boyshort . Let me know @laurendutch ! If they are i'm gonna go crazy ordering one million pairs of these lol

They are a little longer...I've bought those type in the past but they ride up and I still have issues. These type seem long on the model but they aren't on me (maybe after washing they shrunk).
Having so much discomfort in my belly. I feel like these babies are just dueling each other all day. It's super annoying to have one head butting my pelvic bone while the other retreats to my rib cage. I have also had a sinus headache since Sunday and reached a new level of snarky that I didn't know I was capable of. Luckily my co-workers still think I'm funny and take pity on me because my stomach is the size of a full term pregnancy.
@Mandisclark I use straight coconut oil on my belly and it's the only thing that keeps the itching at bay for me. I have gotten a few clogged pores on my belly but it is worth it.
Well this kid had to wait until 5pm and is now going crazy..... Just going to attribute it to what some of you ladies said about baby having a lazy day! Thank you for all concern and advice. Ummm those underwear would be amazing..... Good find!!!!
My belly feels super tight today. This seems to happen like once a week. I woke up stressed today because my cat bounced off my baby bump, scratching it in the process. The scratch wasn't bad, but my skin is so tender there it hurt like hell. I cried for like 30 minutes because my cat hurt my feelings. Thanks for that hormones. My back hurts and I'm tired. And cranky if you couldn't tell.
@klkonwi hopefully your LO started moving and grooving. I feel like the 3rd tri has totally turned me into that patient!
A new feeling/sensation completely... Baby boy is happy in his breech position and I definitely feel him jumping on my bladder most days, but starting last night, my urethra has been throbbing. Not like an infection or pain, more like weird pressure when I have to pee!
@amccoy129 I found hemorrhoid last week.......... Sooo much fun! Mini heart attack @thatgirlstef I am waiting on disability to be approved....... Waiting waiting! My baby is also breech and it is a fun sensation to get kicked in your bladder so hard it drops you! I'm just happy to feel him move today! Shew!

Yay! That's great news. DH constantly reminds me that baby is allowed to have lazy days, too!
Started having Braxton Hicks this week and it's pretty uncomfortable. Also having so many bowel issues, the two together is not good. I travel to patients' homes and nursing homes for work so I'm constantly praying that my bowel problems do not act up at an inopportune time. Still dealing with back pain and other pains. Trying to keep myself calm. New sensations in my body tend to panic me a bit. I do have a history of panic disorder related to this. I'm proud of how I've been handling everything, just got to remind myself to breathe when the panic starts creeping in. And exhausted still trying to work full time. Will see how long I can swing it.
@klkonwi so glad baby decided to party. I cried about the hemroid issue...it's the 4th time I've cried today. Hoping I wake up with control of my emotions tomorrow!
@amccoy129 I called my husband up from his office (his office is in the basement) and I told him and cried as well......... You know to keep the marriage alive and sexy.....
I have not. I've heard about it! I should try it. I heard you have to have the best brand or it doesn't work? Don't know if that's true.....
Oh boy... What's the best brand?! I am willing to try it! I had a really old relative who swore that vinegar added years to your life...I would be so happy to not have heartburn!
Can someone make this stomach pain go away?! Stretching skin, irritable uterus, baby in ribs... Did I mention pooping multiple times every day?! Yeah, ready to welcome June in all her loveliness... Can we skip May this year?
After a long day of packing kitchen stuff to stock the cabin, five loads of laundry that I started at 5:30 thanks to lovely insomnia that started at 4:30...I had to nap at 11. I was freaking exhausted. DS wasn't feeling well so he was up for an early nap too. Thank god!!! After some rest I packed up the car and some cloths and drove 4 hours to my parents house with Toby dog. He's so happy to be here. I'm happy that today is complete and hoping that this numbness in my hands after certain positions goes away soon. It's freaking annoying. Also LO was doing her stretches while driving today so that made for interesting driving positions. Hope everyone gets some good rest tonight. ❤️
@katyertl - OH MY GOSH I HAVE BEEN SAYING THE SAME THING! I am pretty sure both hubby AND I feel like "one and done" is parenting life for us after this pregnancy LOL I am so glad someone else feels the same!
