What do you feel like?

IttyBitty2b · May 2015

FTM and of course everything is brand new and I have no idea what's normal or what's something to monitor. Of course you know swelling, high blood pressure, fainting, etc. Those are obvious. But what about feeings like being sore at your panty line a reason, feeling like an apple is rolling around your stomach, Etc. give your most descriptive or even ridiculous example of how you feel.

When I am riding in the car I feel like my ribs are sitting on my uterus and every bump is so annoying. Baby girl doesn't like the car rides and makes it known by sticking a hand or a foot right on to my cervix or so it feels. And hitting me giving me some bad lighting croch.... This is was DS did too, lighting croch is killer and makes me want to hold my croch and cry. If women had testicals this would be the equivalent of getting kicked in them....

Just in general, I feel like a walking ball of fat...literally, I feel like I should be shaking the earth with all the new jiggles I now have! But at the moment, baby girl is pushing on my cervix and kicking my ribs at the same time, and I really really want to make her move because it feels like she is single-handedly trying to pry open my pelvis!

FTM: I feel like an overstuffed bag. My abdomen is stretched so tight. The round ligament discomfort is tiring.

I have this weird pressure in my pelvic region, and was thinking it was normal...only to find out that I have a UTI and/or kidney stones. (waiting on the test results)

Feeling her kick is so amazing, and the feelings I have when I see the tiny little girl on the ultra sound is beyond anything I have ever felt before. It's an emotional roller coaster lately.

I feel like I have a two pound weight resting on my cervix....or resting on my lungs spine when I try to lie on my back.

The other day I went swimming for the first time since last year. When I got in the water and started moving around I was thinking man I thought I was supposed to feel lighter. Well an hour or two later when I got out of the pool to dry off I thought oh my god my body hurts everywhere I am getting back in the pool. It is amazing how much my hips and lower back hurt on a daily basis. I feel like I'm walking around with a limp.

nakoppel · May 2015

At random moments I feel like I have a knife in my ribs or alternatively the knife will move to my hips. A lot of times I feel like the little man is head butting or butt butting me right at the belly button and is like trying to head butt his way out through my belly button. I also feel like I can't catch my breath at random moments.

Ambermom043 · May 2015

Sitting in the car is pretty hard on my back and ribs. I got the weirdest charlie horse in my heel/calf/foot (?) while swimming! My foot curled to the side and I couldn't move it for a good 6 minutes! It was scary b/c I was alone and couldn't get out of the pool. I called my husband who was in class and couldn't answer.. So I held on to the side of the pool almost in tears, it hurt SOOOOO bad!!!!

I have been soooo ready to go swimming. Waiting on MIL to get her pool done lol. I am sick of being sleepy all day long, I keep putting things off that I would rather get done. Also I hate being weepy at any little thing. I preferred the pissy hormones to be honest! And when we are driving down a bumpy or curvy road, I have to hang onto my belly. Baby girl does not like them at all. Oh, and I miss being able to lay on my stomach. Tossing and turning in bed is becoming a workout. Also my mother has turned my pregnancy into a competition of some weird sort. Whenever she's around she has to complain about feeling fat, or having leg pains, or being tired. I just roll my eyes and go "Really? Do please tell me what that's like." And she just looks at me funny. Oy.

I feel like I'm bad at pregnancy. I always thought that I would do good and that as long as I ate healthy and stayed active that I would not feel bad and just skip all of the pregnancy aches and pains. I was wrong. I feel like at any minute my son is going to rip through my skin and pull a "Here's Johnny!" I catch myself thinking "is this what meth is like?" because I don't think I have gotten a good night's sleep in ages. There are days that it takes all of my god given energy to not round house kick my husband in the face for asking me a million times a day if I'm okay. Don't get me wrong, I love him and he has been great, but my hormones are whack. I feel like my son is inside me playing dice against my ribs (baby needs new shoes)all day. I feel that horrible sensation of having to pee like I've drank a gallon of water and have held it in for days only to pee a slight trickle of unsatisfactory pee. I feel like how that fat kid from Willy wonka looks and sounds. I'm usually not so negative about this, but I seriously envy pregnant women who can stay awake at work and do extra things like go to the gym. I constantly have to remind myself that I'm making a human and that is incredible.

Feels like my pubic bone is pulling apart. My entire pelvic girdle hurts. I've been complaining about it so much that my midwife gave me a very ugly hip support belt. It helps but doesn't completely fix it.

jadetree1080 · May 2015

I feel like a big heavy blob. Im only up 10lbs, but I can feel every ounce of it with each step. Going to the gym for even 30 min is draining, but if I don't go, I get restless legs so bad in the evenings I can't sleep. My balance is all off, my boobs are too big, and I seem to be growing love handles rather than a baby bump. I do not feel sexy even though my husband seems to think I am (which I appreciate). I am certainly not glowing and I have no clue how to dress this completely forign body. So over all, I would say I feel...pregnant, definitely pregnant.

carleym93 · May 2015

I feel really good. Unless I'm trying to change positions while sleeping. Then I feel like I have a gallon of milk strapped to my belly.

dkizz82 · May 2015

My back hurts. My lower abdomen hurts. Kinda crampy, kinda pulling. My feet and hands are huge. I have a hard time breathing sometimes. Definitely have become a snorer.

Frixxy · May 2015

One word: Penguin! Waddle waddle waddle

meli1112 · May 2015

Itchy!!! Not only my stomach, but everywhere! My skin seems to be more sensitive and even my clothes make me itchy. I'm going crazy!!!

Baby girl finally moved, but I have no relief because I suddenly feel like I swallowed a basketball in my sleep. I SWEAR my belly is bigger, but the scale still shows the same. How is this even possible? (Yes, I've had 3 prior pregnancies, but this one takes the cake) I am also now a pin cushion thanks to being diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. UGH

sjra1028 · May 2015

I feel like an anxious t-rex today. Lol I've been getting angry over every little thing, and it made me physically ill this morning. I'm so proud of my baby bump, but now my maternity shirts feel constricting. Every time she kicks my ribs while I'm sitting, I jump like I have the hiccups. I love my lil girl, but I feel like a different person lately!

lifesabeach85 · May 2015

I feel like I'm being tickled from the inside out.

tlpyott · May 2015

i feel like i can't sit down or stand up without making some kind of noise, which usually includes swear words when i'm home lol

ambercdc · May 2015

I feel like my belly is a sore bruised pincushion due to my lovenox shots

keeps getting worse

AnguelesR · May 2015

Every night before i go to sleep my legs from my knees down feel like 1,000 pounds

Gators&BoSox · May 2015

I feel like a squishy, gassy, stinky lady whose bones are falling out of place... But I'm trying to stay positive about it, or at least find the humor in it.

Lindsaybhanks · May 2015

Pretty much sums it up.

Try injecting it very low and at a downward angle. If you go straight in, you're more likely to hit muscle and that can hurt/bruise more. If you go down, though, you're more likely to stay within that layer of fat.

My mom is an ob/gyn and this is the advice she gave me. It still hurts sometimes, but I hardly ever bruise since I started doing it this way.

Also: I found that, if you're standing, you should relax the leg of the side you're injecting on (put your weight on the other leg). I found this to be less painful.

staciedw · May 2015
