  • Holy boob ache, my boobs are screaming in pain it seems lile. Ugh.
  • Sleep is impossible. Baby has dropped into my hips and it feels like my legs are being ripped off if I lay on either side for more than a few minutes. If I lay on my back, my lower back is in knots and the skin on my stomach is so tight touching it makes me want to cry. This just started so surviving 28 days more seems impossible.
  • Sore, dry throat this morning. Second last day of work! Can't move anywhere fast due to ankle swelling and pubic pain any time I take a step. Waddle is in full force!

  • I've been having really loose stools and cramping for the last 2 days.. Not sure why. Haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary or changed my diet at all!

    Me too!!!! I can't be dehydrated either since I pee about every 20 minutes or so, and I'm always carrying around a bottle of water. I consulted Dr. Google and he said that its your bodies way of getting ready to start labor and it's cleansing itself. I'm not too sure how true this is though. Anyone else have any insight on this?
  • Also there is a super wide range of how long this can last days-weeks before early labor starts. But any questions call L & D or dr. to clarify.
  • Oh, the swollen legs and feet. And don't get me started on the bags under my eyes...what is that all about? I eat right, drink a gallon of water/day and get decent sleep (or what passes for decent sleep these days) and I still look like someone punched me in the face every morning.

    I also have loose stools. I never had that or losing my plug as a sign of labour with my first. I was just extra tired that day and needed a nap. I had 3 weeks of impending labour symptoms which was torture! I'm hoping I don't have that this time.

    My other annoying symptom is a return of extreme hunger. I wake up so hungry I'm nauseous, and if I forget to eat at reasonable intervals, I get incredibly shaky and dizzy and it's hard to recover from even after eating.

    Also, does anyone else have blood pressure on the lower side? I think I'm done being able to shop :( Waiting at the checkout is very challenging for me. I get short of breath and woozy just standing there!

    I have some cramping and loose stool too but I also started taking Colace so that might be contributing.

    I officially no longer fit any of my business casual work shoes. Hope my boss is cool with flip flops for the next 3 weeks because I am not spending any more money on clothes or shoes!

    Overall I'm just achy and it's miserable trying to turn from side to side when sleeping - every muscle and joint is just weak or painful!

    DH also just mentioned that my walk is "different"... Sigh. I know...

    I'm right there with you on the sleeping pains. Everytime I get up or turn I make crazy noises and I wake up DH everytime, he's like are you ok? I think he thinks I'm going into labor! Poor guy lol.
  • @hoodoll82 omg lol! That definitely sums up some of those situations. luckily, it's never *quite* that bad, and I'm usually already at home, so I'm safe. And besides - I thought iron was supposed to constipate you? :-/

  • Hip and leg pain like crazy. I'm so tired of sleeping on my side. I cannot get comfortable. I'm taking Colace twice a day now and eating prunes to help with the constipation and hopefully keep the hemorrhoid from getting worse. It doesn't really hurt but it just grosses me out knowing it's there. Plus I need to get waxed and I don't know that's a good idea with a hemorrhoid

    Rib pain, loose stool, @Cuij my blood pressure has been fine but when I stand for a bit I get really hot and light headed and must lean or sit on anything!  I think I'm having Braxton hicks but its not always my entire stomach.  Lots of the time its my right side, across the front and almost like a ball left of my belly button....anyone have ideas on this?  Once I lay down it goes away but if I stand it seems to come right back! 
  • I grunt in my sleep, I've never done this before but have suspected it the last week or so.. I'll wake up and think did I just make that odd noise?? Well it was confirmed tonight by my mum & husband..

    The bottom of my feet for the last 48hours have non stop pins and needles. It makes walking so horrible.

    Becoming so impatient now I wish I could stand up and my waters break and I get to start thinking about not being pregnant...

    35 weeks today!! Yay!

    Had lots of cramps and some pretty intense BH for a few hours last night but they regressed once I was able to get home and lay down.

    Feeling great this morning! :) hope everyone has a great hump day.
  • Experiencing weird instincts that I never had before! 1. Pain down there when I get up and start walking...I felt like it was already stretched out...man! 2. Breathing easier now! 3. Not hungry much and very nauseous AGAIN. I'm a zofran queen! 4. Anxious...feel like I need to challenge myself to walk 2 miles every day until baby herman arrrrrrives but I get very ouchy if I walk 1/4 mile! :-( 5. More discharges.....eewww!

    I will find out on my first 'full inspection' today if I am dilated or not. I sure hope so!

    I am going through this as well. My blood pressure has always been great but in the last two weeks I have noticed being out of breath from walking across the room and standing up. Maybe my blood pressure is still fine but the extra 40 pounds is starting to really take its toll? Shaky when I haven't eaten in at least an hour and the insatiable hunger!!!

    Also my uterus is so hard and my placenta is at the very top that I seriously can't bend over to tie shoes, pick something up, anything!! DH says I'm just out of shape... Bless him he really has no idea... Still have the same issues with very loose stools. GROSS!! Also,,,hemorrhoids. I broke out the tucks pads last night and it was like sweet cherubs blowing cooling medicated relief right onto my bum. Sorry folks but I'm at the point if I don't laugh about it I will cry.

    My doctor told me not to focus on miles but recommended 30 minutes of walking. That might help bacause then you can go as slow as you need...
    I've been bad about doing it but have been shooting for at least 15 during the week and 30 on the weekends.
  • Glad I'm not the only one with lots of gas.  Could you imagine the amount of homes we could power if it was harnessed?  Maybe the natural gas companies are looking into the wrong alternative energy resources, lol!  

    Still having sore lower legs and lots of difficulty sleeping.  I'm actually considering sleeping in a different bedroom but then I would be further from a bathroom and that may not be a good idea, lol!

    Same on the walking.  My doctor also suggested to do as I can and to not push it.  
  • I feel very off today. Hard to explain but just not myself. I kept waking up in the night with my upper back bothering me and it still is at moments I feel funny in the upper part of my stomache- like a mix between nauseau and slight cramps I called out of work and am laying on the couch right now bi tried eating a bagel and could not finish it which is unusual. I feel like this must be s normal part of the process but I thought I would see if anyone else has felt like this. Btw I'm a FTM and 37 weeks. Thanks

    @staceyfern I also feel very off today. Just uncomfortable and strange. I just chalk it up to pregnancy...... Nothing surprises me anymore!
  • My back and hips are trying to kill me. I hurt SO bad!! Lots of BH and some non-BH contractions are becoming more annoying as well. Yesterday, I slept most of the day and I still feel exhausted today. I shouldn't complain, at least I was able to sleep some.

    Also, I noticed a lump on my left breast, almost under my arm last night. I've ready this is pretty normal for pregnancy, but wonder if it's ok to wait to mention it to my doctor at my next appt (Tuesday) or if I should go ahead and call? What are your thoughts?
  • I feel off today , lots of low pressure! I'm so tired ! Can't get enough sleep ! And having cramping as well, 36 w3 d , I'm just tired of being pregnant !

    Ugh count me in on the cramps/loose stool club. Not sure if it's better or worse than all the constipation... :-?

    Could NOT get comfortable sleeping last night. I just wanna lay on my stomach and stretch out across my bed!!!!! Luckily I was so exhausted from driving to doctors appt and shopping yesterday that I fell asleep regardless and actually only woke up once! Breaking records over here. Unfortunately , I woke up with every ache and pain you can imagine because of my uncomfortable sleeping position I'm sure. BH are continuing, and I'm just thoroughly exhausted every day now...I'm working from home at a computer yet still can't find the energy to do that...I just wanna sleep through the next 3.5 weeks and wake up with my LO in my arms :x (Oh and fully recovered would be nice too!)

    On the bright side, we are officially all packed and ready for the hospital (with the exception of a few toiletry items I'm grabbing on the way out) \:D/

    I've been having the same issue. No diet changes or odd foods in my diet either. I was thinking it was due to all the extra stress I've been having lately. Feel better!!
  • klkonwiklkonwi member
    Apparently your only allowed one good day in a week.
    This just in..... I feel like a beached whale..... Can't breathe and can't eat..... Nausea. So much for positivity this AM. @ngaines27 could be a milk duct?! I wouldn't panic just yet. I would just wait until Tuesday but if you truely are panicking you could go in or call. Panic is awesome...... Anxiety sucks!!!

    @ngaines27 sometimes I have to talk myself down or call my mom/sister to stop the anxiety....... And say to yourself using your best Indian name ..... Whoa crazy horse! Calm down.
