DAILY SYMPTOMS 5/7 stop here if you are new!!! And post!

klkonwi · May 2015

ANY and all symptoms or thoughts...... go.....

ReadyforBaby2 · May 2015

Yesterday I had my first check, already dilated to a 3. Think I lost my mucus plug last night and contracted some last night (not closer than 20 minutes). I think this baby is coming fairly soon!!! Laying in bed debating whether I go into work today???

kissell · May 2015

More intense BH. More frequent urge to pee. Like I'm about to pee myself in the middle of the night and run (hahaa who are we kidding I'm not running anywhere) to bathroom and it's maybe a tablespoon:/ Swelling has progressed to hands and face not just my feet. All around tiredness. Slight discharge a little more than the past few months. Joint pains especially in hands and hips. Sharp quick pains all over my lady parts. Bouts of constipation followed by bouts of diarrhea, not regular like usual even though I get plenty of fiber and grains in my diet.. INSOMNIA:) which I personally think it's just nervous/excited insomnia. I did the same thing two or three weeks before our wedding. LO is moving and trying to stretch but there is hardly any room left for her. She is also very very low like right at my cervix and I feel all the pressure. I am 36-37 weeks.. Oh and my personal favorite, waddling.... Like. A. Duck.

kissell · May 2015

Oh and at my last doc visit which was this Monday I was 1cm dilated.

rolson8947 · May 2015

I would say my symptoms haven't changed very much. I still have insomnia and the urge to pee every half hour. I have had a very sore throat since Monday and it seems as if it has gotten worse. Luckily I got someone to work my shift today and I am currently laying in bed trying to go back to sleep, but who am I kidding, I'm not going back to sleep anytime soon

KarasTwin · May 2015

Woke up multiple times last night with hip and leg pain combined with cramps in my calves. Woke up 5 minutes before my alarm went off so I got up and have been doing laundry while getting ready for work. I figured if I'm not going to be able to sleep I might as well be productive instead of laying in bed for 15 minutes like usual. I want to sleep on my stomach!

klkonwi · May 2015

"Macne"..... Stands for mom acne.

That is what I'm calling it. It's not your standard acne and therefore deserves a better name. 8->
My baby has been sitting on my right side forever now and sometimes I wonder if when he's out that right side of my stomach will be all droopy and the left normal...... I know I'm weird and have lots of weird thoughts. Ha. No seriously he never moves from this right side and head in my right ribs.

I feel as if these days are going sooooo slow and I might be pregnant forever.

klkonwi · May 2015

Ha

karaelaine1991 · May 2015

I've been saying this whole time that I want baby to be as late as possible, not because I'm not excited to meet her but because it'll give me more time to get ahead on my school stuff before she arrives. Well, while that's still true, there is a part of me that's getting increasingly impatient for her to arrive, even though it'll mean more stress for me! It's partially because I'm excited to meet her, but it's mostly because I'm ready to roll over in bed without my hips killing me, or sit in certain positions without little feet digging into my ribs! This little girl is getting big and I can't imagine how my body is going to make MORE room for her over the next several weeks!

casey06022015 · May 2015

INSOMNIA! And @kissell yes to the waddling! I have been having frequent Braxton hicks and constant period like cramping. I don't know how I'm going to do this for another 3.5+(?) weeks! I have a doctors apt today and am curious to see if I've dilated at all or if all this pain is just for fun. @klkonwi love that pic... Describes pretty much my thoughts on exercise! I've been trying to take walks but it's getting pretty difficult. The other day I went with my sister and she said man you are slow! I'll remind her of that when she is pregnant... :x

Addelie · May 2015

I've got a mild rash on my tummy. It flares up now and then but isn't causing me any discomfort. It's not itchy either but my doc wants me to go in for a blood test tomorrow. I wasnt worried until I showed my friend and she said she couldn't believe how calmly I'd been walking around with it... :S

finchfeeder80 · May 2015

Good lord, the RLP this morning. We must be having a growth spurt in there! I actually slept under the covers last night, that hasn't happened in probably close to a week. I'm tired and super unmotivated to do anything, but that's about it! Oh yeah, I've all but stopped wearing makeup at work. I do my eyes, but that's it. I no longer care. I justify it by saying it's because it's getting humid and combined with the effort of moving around now just makes me sweaty, but no really, I just don't care enough.

foxa319 · May 2015

I had to start taking iron last week for anemia and man I just kills my stomache! I've tried taking it at different times, with or without food and it doesn't seem to matter! Lo moves so much too which I love but now I can't even eat dinner comfortably in a chair! Ate it on the couch leaning back last night!
How many weeks around was everyone when the baby dropped? Just curious! My induction date is 4 weeks away and I want his head nice and low!!!

HoosOnFirst · May 2015

Woke up again at midnight and stopped myself from opening the daily symptoms thread again

But yeah, woke up 4 times overnight. At some point this all has to accumulate and I will have one night of good sleep, right?

My new symptom is just a ton of muscle aches or round ligament pain when I try to reposition myself when laying down. Not enough to call a doc (who I literally just saw anyway) but good god it's annoying.

My overnight stomach pain has stopped - I didn't take my prenatal yesterday and I wonder of there's a correlation there. That, or the fact that now when I wake up overnight I eat a snack and drink some water.

lovethatcolosun · May 2015

RLP last night, sore hips when I sleep, and frequent BH when I stand or move too much. I also think that had to do with me not getting enough water yesterday. I also attempted to run after DS last night. It was not pretty and it hurt. A timeout shortly followed. That'll teach him not to run from pregnant women!!!! Ok so there was more to it than that, but still.

Edited because of freaking autocorrect.

SweetnessG · May 2015

Lots of BH and real contractions. Not a real pattern, so not worthy of calling the doctor or going to L&D. This heat and humidity is real killer and is making me cranky. We are pushing the 90s in the Buckeye State. I have zero motivation, and I couldn't care less if I do anything but lay in the a/c. My back is in all sorts of pain, and my hips are achy and it makes it painful to walk. 3 more weeks, just 3 more weeks!

SammeMotley · May 2015

Thirst that doesn't end. Really painful contraction in my back. Baby camped out in my ribs and head down. I highly doubt i will make it 6.5 more weeks. I mean I CAN'T deal for 6.5 more. Can I have my stomach back? I mean how do I feed this little critter if I can't eat?!?

obryana6219 · May 2015

@SweetnessG I live in central Ohio and I just told DH that he has to put the A/C in tonight. I can't take it anymore and we don't have central air because our house is 150 years old. The plaster keeps it nice and cool during the day but at night it is unbearable. I haven't slept through the night because of the heat/humidity for over a month now.

SweetnessG · May 2015

@obryana6219 I had to turn our a/c earlier this week. I couldn't take it anymore. Sleeping at night is still horrible because I'm so hot, but I can't imagine no a/c. Everyone would hate me!

dancegurl1118 · May 2015

Slept all night minus waking up to pee a few times..happy girl.

Rings are officially off

less BH which makes me sad because for so many weeks they were constant. They are stronger when they happen so maybe the tea is just consolidating them (wishful thinking!)

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

I have the desire to want to do stuff, but the energy to do so is sorely lacking. At least I am getting some better sleep, comparatively, not coughing as much at night or waking from a really sore throat. And coughing overall less, which is great cause I swear I think I pulled a muscle from overuse in the lower part of my abs. It hurts so much when I cough now, I'm really happy the cough seems to be making an exit, and that I have meds for if it comes back strong. Cheers to not being totally over this thing but making another set of steps forward with it. I'll take it.
Otherwise ewok keeps doing something up underneath my right ribs. Not what I would consider a 'kick' - they tend to be more prolonged and not as sharp of movements up there. Best I can describe is when we stretch we put our hands above our head and point our feet downwards and kinda push as far as we can go. I'm imagining the kid stretching out in there, and trying to decide which way they are situated, position wise - tho we have time yet for ewok to turn still

AmeliaBedelia1119 · May 2015

I feel like my feet look like two loaves of bread....:(

finchfeeder80 · May 2015

So. I'm going to go out on the special snowflake limb for a minute:

I don't know if anyone here is really truly plus size, like, not just a little chubby, but as in, pre-pregnancy I was about a size 24. So undressed my bump is not really one pretty bump like most of y'all's is. This week I've been noticing a lot more pressure in my lower abdomen, especially by the end of the day. I'm not really surprised by this, as baby is getting bigger, etc, but it is uncomfortable. I've been thinking about getting one of those support belts. Not the ones to keep wearing your jeans longer, but you know, like a jock strap for your bump. I know they come in plus size, I've seem them in the store. I guess my concern is knowing where to position it, since I don't have a nice, tidy baby bump. I suppose it's trial and error for everyone, but I hate the thought of dropping money on it and then it not really working with all of my fat. $:\$ ">

I know they're supposed to help a lot with lower back aches, which I really don't have much of except at the end of the work day after being trapped in my crappy desk chair all day. Has anyone used one, overweight or not, and found it helped with the abdomen pressure? It doesn't really hurt or anything, it's just uncomfortable, you know.

katester91 · May 2015

My feet have gotten so swollen I can't get them into sneakers anymore. They came down a little since work yesterday but I will be back on my feet all day so I know they will be huge by the time my shift is over and they hurt! My bp was ok, I checked it at work. I'm so ready to have this baby already! 5 more weeks!

taboullio84 · May 2015

I went for my U/S and Elle was sticking out her tongue / making faces. Then I was told ( on another board) that babies with DS sick their tongue out a bunch. I was never tested for anything so. Ehhh I guess anything is possible. But now I'm in panic for no reason... Fact is everything else looks good with her. No issues so if she did have DS she would still be born healthy. I feel like an idiot even worrying about it.

Oh.. At 32 weeks ( measuring 31) she weighs 3lbs 15 Ozs. So she is healthy and average size. My other daughter was 7lb10oz at birth.. Looks like she will be about the same as her sister

a_bushey · May 2015

As of right now, I am primarily dealing with general tiredness, lower leg soreness and cramping, and abdominal tightness in the evening. The number of pillows on my side of the bed has grown exponentially and I fear my DH will at some point get lost in them, lol! I don't remember being this uncomfortable with our first LO, but then everything is already stretched out and number two is sitting low.

Sammy K · May 2015

I think the dog knows something is up. He insists on sleeping on my crotch no matter how many times I move him. Which doesn't help the hip pain. He's no lap dog, either. He's an Australian cattle dog. Otherwise, I feel good today! Hopefully that lasts all day!

I'm taking slow release iron at night after dinner and it's not upsetting my stomach....making me a little constipated, but tolerable.

obryana6219 · May 2015

@finchfeeder80 I wear about a size 24 pre-pregnancy. My OB had me go get fitted for a maternity belt at 28 weeks because of my back pain. I got to an office that's part of a clinic so they sent me straight over to ortho. They measured me and fitted it to me. I believe the brand was called "mommy to be" and I wore an XL. I don't know if you can find them online or if your doctor can do the same so your insurance will pay for it. I wear mine right under wear I feel my uterus emerge from my pubic bone. I have some extra cushion down there
so it was weird at first but it really helped ease my back pain and support my bump. Good luck!

LolaMarley23 · May 2015

Just extremely tired even though I have a desk job so I literally sit all day. I have been letting the dishes pile up all week because I am just too tired. Not my proudest moment. DH and I have an agreement that I wash them and he puts them away since we don't have a dishwasher... I am hoping either DH will do them for me, or he will finally realize we need a dishwasher and get me one for a mother's day gift!

Haha!

Mommaswizz · May 2015

I think the braxton hicks have officially begun for me. My belly tightens up so frequently on the train ride to work. Though sometimes i feel like it's only one side of my bump. So it makes me question what im feeling. I feel like walking is getting so painful if it's more than a few blocks. I know i've said it before but seriously, how are women expected to work until their due date?! I feel like i'm already being tortured. Either everyone who works till the end is superwoman or i am a giant whiney vagina.... It's not up for debate so don't answer that hahahaha

Other than the belly tightness, i've got the usual collection: heartburn, irritated skin just under my boobage, tiredness, restless at night, etc..

Anyone else get tired of answering the "How are you feeling?!" with positive responses? I know my symptoms are exactly what they should be at this point so I always respond with "Good! Just truckin' right along!". but i really want to say "I'm fucking tired of this shit, stop asking unless you wanna hear the grotesque details of my life". annnd i'm a monster

LBRENNEC · May 2015

Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks with my second. I am a stay at home Mom but worked during my last pregnancy so this one is much different with a 3 year old at home.

Tired, nauseous, sore breasts (I have been using my husbands chillo on them and it works great), hard to breath when I lay down, more sleepy after eating, lower back hurts (heating pad), upper back hurts, going the bathroom all day, thirsty all day, belly moving into my ribs. I am also starting to have braxton hicks contractions. But only about 3 an hours and they are irregular. They are difficult to have when trying to make dinner, or give my daughter a bath or put her to bed. My husband has been helping often but I still feel bad.

Also, I am just hormonal. I am blaming everyone else for the little things that are bothering me and not myself. But I realize I am doing this and I am trying to stop.

I am 4 pounds away from when I gave birth to my other daughter. I wish it was less but I am glad I am close in weight. I am 5 foot 1 and about 159 pounds now.

Addelie · May 2015

@taboullio84 In pretty much every 3D scan I've seen from my friends the baby is sticking its tongue out. That fluid is tasty stuff! One of my friends was super excited to get the cute tongue photo just cos so many of my friends have gotten that picture. I really wouldn't worry one iota

KarasTwin · May 2015

Is being irrational a symptom? 2 more coworkers told me I was about to pop yesterday and this,morning one said "no baby yet?". It's totally stupid and irrational but I feel like they're going to bring preterm labor on me. Like I said, completely stupid but I feel like the irrationality of it definitely counts as a symptom.

LBRENNEC · May 2015

I think it is. I will think something one day and then the next day think I was crazy for thinking or feeling that way.

OnWayto3 · May 2015

I. Have. No. Motivation. Seriously lacking. I can create ideas of things to do all day in my head, but in actuality, nada. Being around students all day, having to perform, is getting the better of me-- and yet I love my job. Just hard to go home to four 'little' people (3 of which are in 6th grade) on top of all the middle schoolers I see all day. Needless to say, I'm becoming a lazy teacher. I hate that about myself these days!!!

fridaysdance · May 2015

Sooooo tired and just dont feel like myself. Baby girl is just fine and moving as usual. BH have been highly noticeable and I'm having some killer back pain today. My doctor didn't seem worried about anything at my appointment this week but I may still call her if my back doesn't let up. I need sleep and nothing helps.

mlouis225 · May 2015

momtobeobrien · May 2015

Symptoms come and go, is there some reason besides a lessening of symptoms that you think will lead to a c-section?

josiegirl12 · May 2015

The skin above my belly button is numb! Anyone else experiencing this?
