TGIF, woot woot! Lawd, I hate that expression, though :-)

How's everyone doing today?

I am personally looking forward to all the fun Friday threads.

rrcameron21 · May 2015

It's 1:30am here and I'm laying on the couch trying not to throw up. What is this? First trimester?!

virginiaunicorn11 · May 2015

Had a loooong day yesterday and whimpered and moaned for two hours before bed last night. Just exhausted and heartburn and nauseous and anxious. Woke up a new woman! And vowing to take it easy for now on... Though knowing my limits before I surpass them has never been a personal strength.

LO has engaged, but must be tall... Little feet moving like crazy in my ribs still.

@amark11 - your post in "when to relocate" made me realize that a tipping point has been reached this week. Don't know if something is really different or it's just the contrast from the easy first 37-38 weeks I was blessed with (somehow I blocked out all that 1st trimester crap). Challenging week, painful contractions that wrap around my body all day long at work, a horrible leg cramp that has left me limping terribly for the last 24 hours and so much more that I can't remember because the contractions are messing with my brain. Last week I felt like I human being, this week I feel like a baby vessel. Now I've been up since 4am with a headache and terrible nausea. I have low BP but this is bad enough I'll get it checked when the clinic opens this am. Still keeping it under control but I'm worried I might be joining the anxiety train, I can't stop imagining how rough it will be if these contractions continue for 3-4 weeks. Also when I drive now LO alternates when punching me in the crotch and kicking me in the ribs until I my diaphragm burns and I start to feel like he's punching though something and it going to break my water, shouldn't his head be protecting that area!!

I think by June we'll have to just combine the symptoms and the gripes thread into one. Sorry I'm a hot mess all of the sudden!

Westypet · May 2015

Painnnnful BH. No sleep. So overwhelmed.
Headed to doc appt where I suspect I'll get a "Yep- all normal" response. Pregnancy at this point sucks. 4 weeks left. :-(

Westypet · May 2015

Annnnnd I'm an idiot driver.

Yesterday, I almost hit someone, and today, almost got t-boned in the parking lot on the way to my 36 week appointment.

I need to be locked up in the house and my keys need to be removed from my person.

ElRuby · May 2015

Sooo nauseous... I just gag a lot... Ugh ... Is it heartburn? Early labor? Who cares! DS keeps asking are you going to throw up ?

HoosOnFirst · May 2015

Acid reflux coming up while I sleep again. Argh. So gross.

Cramps and rumbly guts yet constipated.

Baby keeps extending her limbs outward pretty forcefully. Not a kick or punch, def just a long stretch. She's ready to get out too.

Lastly I must not have a poker face... On the commuter train someone asked if I was in labor (jokingly) because I kept making faces! I didn't even know!

paige0704 · May 2015

Not gunna lie i feel like total crap here at 35 weeks....headache that wont go away with medicine , so nauseous, and all my muscles ache and feel sore like i worked out...except i didnt!! I dont get it i am drinking plenty of fluids!! Not only getting charley horse in calves but in my left buttcheek wahh this stuff makes me feel like i have the flu

( anyone experience this soreness and if so any solutions?

sumertidwell · May 2015

I actually slept last night.. but I woke up with my whole body aching like I had worked out for 10 hours yesterday. I am soon sore I can barley walk. No idea why.

kherman14 · May 2015

Woke up...again to same thing. Vagina hurts when I walk! Then, feel like I am 100 yrs old. Lack range of motion! Morning sickness! I am planning to mow again today, I think! Yesterday I mowed...oye I was feeling it. 38 weeks today

thatgirlstef · May 2015

I'm exhausted.

I've been on strict bed rest since 28 weeks for PROM. Sac seemed to heal itself and fluid level built back up and I was sent home to try to keep baby in for a while longer. Fetal fibronectin test came back positive twice in the last 7 weeks, but no baby within two weeks of either test and I was doing vaginal progesterone and he seemed to be staying put just fine and has been growing on track. I started thinking we would definitely be making it full term! YAY!

Last night about 8:30, I finished with dinner stuff and dishes and sat down and WOOSH. My water broke! I'm 35 weeks, so I wasn't worried. I waited a few minutes and yes, these contractions were different than the nightly BH. OH MY GOD. I was down on all fours, called hubby and warned him I was about to call my midwife etc. He works till about 10:30-11.

Midwife on call called me back and said I needed to come in because of my previous experience that landed me on bed rest. DH left work immediately, scooped me and the hospital bags up, we had a moment in the car where we kind of just stared at each other and I burst out laughing and he burst into tears! Hahahaha I feel so bad laughing, but I spent almost the entire time at L&D laughing last night. They must think I'm total batshit crazy, seriously. Hahahah I am laughing at myself right now! WHY am I laughing through labor?!

Anywho, yup they confirm I am 3cm dilated and having inconsistent contractions/mostly experiencing back labor they picked up better with the trans vag u/s. They had to do u/s to confirm baby was still breech, he is. Sigh. BUT they also notice that baby still has about 2cm of fluid around him at this point. My water seems to have gushed again, but not fully ruptured. They call the OB on call to come meet with us. He was super nice, and I am thankful I wasn't forced into a premature cesarean last night as my hospital has a very high rate of them, but seriously I was one of the girls who kept asking/thinking "How will I know when I go into labor?" Ohhhhhhh trust me. YOU. WILL. KNOW. I got up to four contractions an hour for one hour, but then had an hour with none. Two the next hour then another hour with none. Three checks and my cervix wasn't changing.

We were discharged at 3am. Wee only have an 8 minute ride to the hospital, so I am happy to hang at home with my dog and do my exercises to try to get him to flip and sleep in my own bed for now. But, DAMN I really though baby was coming last night.

thatgirlstef · May 2015

@paige0704 I have been waking up with charlie horses since about 32 wks. It is the worst!!!! I know for certain I'm hydrated enough, I am drinking upwards of 160oz/day but they won't stop!!!

katester91 · May 2015

Having pressure/ pain in my vagina when I move. It's pretty uncomfortable. My feet also still hurt but on the bright side I'm off today. I was going to try and take it easy but there is so much I want to get done so I can have it checked off my list. We will see. I hope everyone starts to feel a little better!

Mommaswizz · May 2015

My apologies in advance for the TMI here...

I stopped being a frigid preggo lady for a little while this morning and DH swooped in to take advantage lol so we did the deed. It was obviously uncomfortable (is there anything that isn't these days??). afterwards i hopped in the shower and began bleeding profusely for about 5 mins. It stopped so i'm not super concerned. but now im feeling kinda UTI-ish, feeling like i have to pee every 3 seconds, burning, and peeing very little. Again im assuming im just irritated since it's been a few weeks since we've boned. Definitely thinking i wont be having any more sexy time till i really want to get things moving. poor DH feels so bad.

other than feeling like i broke my vag, swollen ankles, jealousy over ladies with babies annnnnnd FATNESS

mlindzz · May 2015

How is it that I drink one glass of water, and then pee three?

Also, baby must have moved. Feeling kicks in new places. Thought this site had some good information on it, check it out if you're curious about the position of baby..

mishmardhiono · May 2015

The nausea and diarhea is the most unexpected thing so far.. Anything I touch expels itsself in a violent fashion.

Got all my meals done today for the freezer so I can now relax. I have today for the first time in my life become a hermit, I was going to meet up with girlfriends for lunch and my parents fr dinner tonight, party on tomorrow night. Cancelled everything. I just can't bear to leave my humble little home now haha.

Is anyone else's skin breaking open on tere bump? I have a few stretch marks and now on the marks they are cut open, bleeding sore and weeping. Stings so much.

ElRuby · May 2015

Now I have back pain on my right side... Hard to even walk... I was really going to clean today too ...

karaelaine1991 · May 2015

No new symptoms for me at all today - I basically feel exactly the same as I did 3 weeks ago, when I started slowing down. No signs of prelabor still. I know I've been saying I want baby to be late (and a big part of me still does), but the lack of progress at this point is kind of disappointing

I have my 38 week appointment this afternoon, which at my OB office means the first cervical check... I'm fully expecting for her to say 0cm dilated and 0% effaced. Will update on the appointment thread afterwards!

I am with ya on this, the broken vag part! Lol Along with broken everything else.. sex or no sex, ... nothing looks or feels the same anymore! Fffff lol

@thatgirlstef glad you're ok but sad you ended up making the hospital trip to be sent home. I can imagine myself being the kinda person that won't stop laughing too.. Blame it on all the hormones, nerves, and feeling overwhelmed lol...

angiekay84 · May 2015

STM, c/s mom, and I have to say I can totally see why I failed to progress the first time and ended up with a c/s. My baby is floating around high as a kite (first one did as well, never engaged even in labor) and I have never experienced a BH in my life. Never. I am 36 weeks today and I just am pregnant with non of that excitement. My feet swell, I have heartburn, but the biggest complaint is just the overall achy-ness and loose joints. My joints are so loose my fingers will pop out of joint, it's disgusting. My knees, hips, everything! I am beyond sick of aching joints.

jduggs · May 2015

This constant time in the bathroom is killing me at work; how am I supposed to get anything done before my leave starts when every half hour (if not more frequently) I'm expelling some sort of liquid violently!?
Also, I feel like I could punched in the crotch, not internal so much as the "mound" (terrible word) itself. So many lovely new aches and pains.

FloGirl82 · May 2015

Well ladies my false labor turned into real labor. Im here just waiting to push!! I woke up to horrible contractions and my water breaking at 3 this morning was at a 4 dilated when I got here and am now fully dilated. Ill post in the birth announcement thread once I have her. And thank god for the epidural.

Hope you all feel better!

Yea this is crazyy! My muscles are so sore its such an odd thing...hopefully its not everyday

but thanks for making me feel better !! Hope urs ease up!!

Mommaswizz · May 2015

Good luck @FloGirl82 !! So exciting!!

virginiaunicorn11 · May 2015

I have found that sex is less uncomfortable if we go for it more often. A few times a week vs once every week or two. It's nowhere near like it used to be for me, but it's at least not painful.

Charlie horses: mine have been acting up again. Yesterday I doubled my magnesium supplement and it worked.

I know it would be so much better if we did it more often. It's really unpleasant to feel like i'm losing my virginity at almost 9 months pregnant lol. Maybe we'll give it another go in a few days. I miss wine and the animal it used to turn me into.

mleec06 · May 2015

Cramps!!! I feel like a high schooler with terrible period like cramps since last night! I barely slept! Today I'm just anxious. If baby boy isn't here in the next 5 days it's induction time and I do NOT want another induction! Come on baby!!!

jamisynr · May 2015

Just not feeling it today. No real symptoms other then typical cramping. Just flat out grumpy and done with today. Gonna be a long weekend...

klkonwi · May 2015

I have a strange symptom that happened overnight. Feels like a squeezing tightening cramping type feeling but it's sooo low like almost vaginal low. It's hard to describe. It's a cramp but too low to describe as period cramps. ?! Anyone else?

And no haven't had sex in more than a week so it's not related to that. Ugh.
It was enough to wake me up each time it happened.

Otherwise the usual. Starting to spazz over summer time and what I'm going to wear ever....... If you leave the hospital looking about 5 months pregnant then at what point do you get back into your pants? Or do ppl just wear their bella bands still...... Or buy new pants/shorts for this period of time?

karaelaine1991 · May 2015

@klkonwi I plan on wearing LOTS of maxi dresses - only need to fit up top!

ETA and I haven't experienced what you've described but it sounds annoying! I hope you get answers soon.

klkonwi · May 2015

I really hope someone can tell me what that pain is? I probably should have posted somewhere else

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

Another really nice day that I am totally wiped out for. My hips hurt and I want to do stuff but my body is like 'nope. You're on the couch all day'

@klkonwi maybe you're feeling yourself dilating? I don't know if that's possible, but some other bumpie said it somewhere and it stuck in my mind, half in terror and half in fascination. Feel better!

@FloGirl82 good luck! Excited for you!

I've had similar pains. Not sure what it is either. I just kinda figured it was normal, as a FTM I don't really know what is or isn't lol I asked my doctor about it yesterday and she said not to worry about it, that I'll know when labor hits. Sorry Im not much help, but good to know I'm not the only one! One thought I had is maybe its baby just sitting really low and pushing around down there thats causing it? IDK but its super uncomfortable. I feel like its worse when I'm sitting.

fridaysdance · May 2015

Finally getting rid of sinus issues today But low back and side pain sucks. Also, I had an issue with my knee dislocating before I was pregnant and I think it's back. I can barely put weight on my left leg today and am too huge and wobbly for the crutches I used pre pregnancy.

Oh!!! This also happened to me yesterday! I was so overheated I took off my jacket but I know it was not hot. I just sat staring thinking are these contractions going to get worse?? Are they Braxton hicks? Maybe I should start timing? I must have been really lost in thought/pain because a lady sitting behind me asked me if I was okay. I just smiled and said " yes I'm just overheated" she would not leave me alone and kept asking! I must look worse than I imagine

thatgirlstef · May 2015

Ugh today has sucked, inconsistent contractions, baby is shoving his head out HARD and hurting me and making my belly like cone outward (no idea why but I just keep thinking fliiiiiiip, baby, flip!) and now after catching up on here I am SO JEALOUS of all you ladies having sex. TMI probably but I've been sooooooo horny and we've had strict orders not to have sex since 28 weeks, ughhhh. I'm not even supposed to just "take care of it" myself because they don't want me causing contractions. I'm so sexually frustrated, bodily frustrated, and feeling so so done today. Grrrrr. I'm really hoping he flips and stops kidding around. Either put me into labor or chill out in there, kid, this pain is unreal. I don't know what I expected labor to feel like but this is definitely worse lol.

I had this yesterday all afternoon into the evening. I seriously felt like baby was going to fall out. It was like my cervix was aching or dilating or doing something. So far today I haven't had that sensation. I had my 36+4 appt today, and only "almost fingertip" dilated, so small change from last friday where i was closed up completely.

klkonwi · May 2015

@swiebe @jamisynr Makes me feel better I'm not the only one. I'm correlating it now to laying down. When I am up sitting up today on the couch it doesn't happen. The minute I lay down it starts again.

ngaines27 · May 2015

I'm so incredibly bitchy that I'm getting on my own nerves. Is that a symptom? I pretty much hate everyone and everything and I rage at every request.

@klkonwi I'm experiencing that sensation too and have for a few days. Glad to know I'm not the only one. I don't remember that with DD 1 or 2.

I still have lower back and hip pain. Got a Rx for reflux at the doc Tuesday so that's finally better. I'm totally exhausted and so ready for this to be over and done. I say this every time, but I NEVER want to be pregnant again!
