I FOUND A STRETCHMARK. right beside ( #:-S )one of my tattoos. honestly concerned about having one go through one of the tattoos on my stomach. does this mean i shouldnt have a 2nd serving of pie and ice cream?
Meh....super swollen feet. I know I'm super close to my due date but I had to give in and buy a pair of comfortable shoes. I found some that weren't hideous, now I'm just upset I didn't get them months ago! Lol Andddddd I pee every two seconds...the joys of the last month of pregnancy!
I just threw up more stomach contents than I thought possible. Like seriously, where did it come from? Probably all the food I can't stop eating. Haven't thrown up in months now, definitely don't miss that symptom!
Not PR but all I want to do is sleep and my DH had decided that 3am is the perfect time to watch Planet of the Apes at full blast and my brother (spending the weekend with us) has decided it's also the perfect time to practice his freestyle rap game... ugh it's bad enough I can't get comfortable enough to sleep on my own, and they wonder why I'm so bitchy all the time.
I lost my mucus plug last night and have been having irregular contractions since then. With my first I lost my mucus plug and then my water broke 3 hours after. I'm just having a waiting game at this point
Pain in my hands since yesterday-- now it's keeping me awake. Pinching and grabbing movements are killing me. I haven't had any carpal tunnel symptoms before... Ugh why now?? This sucks. :-(
I've given up caring about pregnancy pains and symptoms. After the last few days of severe pain due to kidney stones ( urologist won't touch me) I welcome the normal pregnancy issues.
A couple new things this week: 1. Pregsomnia from 3-6:30 am 2. More nesting during Pregsomnia. Totally thought I was nested out. 3. Stretch marks. Sigh. I thought I was gonna dodge this bullet seeing as I got BOTH cellulite and spider veins. Wtf? Just found some. 4. Generally crampy--all the time 5. Swollen ass ankles.
As long as I make it through next Friday, I'm ready to have this baby cause I'll be on mat leave just long enough to skip my hellish time.
Almost had baby yesterday , but ob said not enough labour symptoms . I got extremely nervous when he almost was going to do my csection . I came home and cried because I'm scared of everything a csection involves ! I totally panicked , and was hoping I wouldn't . So Im scheduled June 2, we will see if I make it . I feel all crampy and lazy and sick to my stomach . Blah ! At most 9 more days
Woke up today and my body feels physically better, but am soooo sleepy. Between naps and off and on sleep, I got about 12 hours of sleep in the past 24, though.
Not complaining, in fact very grateful that my only issue is sleepiness today. Just fascinated I could still be sleepy after all that!
Also, new trick: rolling out of bed and into the tub. My new morning routine til baby gets here. Why did I not think of this before?!
Laziness! I don't want to cook. I don't want to go to church. I just want to sit here and read and look at my bump roll. And stare at my no longer swollen ankles and feet! They're so pretty, I've missed them lol.
My husband thought it would be a good idea to go camping at 37 weeks pregnant. Thankfully, we aren't roughing it because we have a trailer but these beds have been awful for my hips. I'm also super swollen. I'd like to be home nesting, but I guess forcing myself to relax is my only option.
@house86 your poor virginia is swollen?! That's sucky.
I took 2 Benadryl and signed off from this board this morning at 9 and was determined to sleep...... Ha. Now I just feel like complete drugged crap without sleep. Rookie mistake.
I think it's safe to say that today's symptom is going to be that I'm hormonal/cranky. DH got a call from his boss saying that he wants him to go to the super far away audit again on Wednesday, even though DH claims that he's asked several times to stay close to the office as we approach EDD and his boss had apparently agreed to go along with that. On Wednesday, I will be six days away from EDD. As a FTM living in a city that's several hours away from my family, I am NOT comfortable with DH being 1.5-2 hours away when I'm ready to pop... so I had a meltdown. I know that most likely it will take several hours after labor starts before I have to go to the hospital, but there's that whole "what if I'm one of the few who has a kid within 2 hours and I'm all by myself" thing that sends me into panic mode. And hormones don't help the situation.
After seeing how upset I was about it, DH said he'd talk to his boss again and will see if he can stay closer to the office. Fingers crossed boss says yes. I feel so bad for those of you whose partners are in the military or similar situations where this is a very real scenario that can't be avoided... thankfully, as an accountant, DH's work isn't super pressing and there's no reason why his boss shouldn't be able to be accommodating. Basically, the guy's a workaholic with no kids so I think he just doesn't get it.
Soo tired and soo cranky! I'm keeping quiet on the various threads that are pissing me off, because I don't want to get banned. I really feel like cursing A LOT! I need Xanax and a drink.
Pigging out on $1.49 chicken nuggets from Mcds and red velvet poptarts. They are the most incredible poptarts ever made.
I'm sore. Cranky. SO SWOLLEN. thought I'd miss that aspect. Haha NOT. Keep having dreams I'm breastfeeding and pumping and I can actually feel it. 29 days left, although I'm secretly trying to reason with DD to come sooner.
My back hurts. All I want to do is hang around and eat junk food. Jolly rancher gooey bites, jolly rancher sour bites, popsicles... Just a bunch of junk. If I didn't drink a cup of oj with my iron tablet I'd probably get the scurvy.
I feel that to preserve any relationships I have I need to lock myself away in my room... And as for dealing with strangers I have decided it best not to leave my house... Nothing worse than a chatty checkout lady at the store!

Red Velvet poptarts!?! I had a little obsession with poptarts earlier in my 3rd trimester. I would wake up every night at 4am on the dot and go have a pack of poptarts (part of the reason I now have ants in my room). I did this for at least a month. I wish I had known about red velvet poptarts then!
I'm craving sweet things soooo bad but can't really indulge because if GD. Today I caved and ate a cup of black jack cherry frozen yogurt. It was heavenly.
Now I feel guilty.
Also it's hot today and I'm a hot sweaty mess. Annnnd DH has been working all weekend, so I had to drag my butt to the park with my 2 year old DS so that he could get some fresh air. My feet and ankles are annnngry about that.
My tooth is starting to feel a little better. I think it was sinus pressure that was making it hurt so bad. Now, however, my ears are starting to get plugged. Probably one of the most annoying things ever. I want to take a benadryl to help, but I don't feel like being a sleepy zombie all day. Besides, DH and I were thinking of going out and doing something since this is our last guaranteed weekend just the two of us. I don't want to be falling asleep where ever we go.
Anyone know of any pregnancy safe alternatives to benadryl that won't make you drowsy?
I don't know if this is just crazy and I'm imagining things but my dogs have become super clingy to the extent of whining all night for me to sit out in the living room with them- it's like they know something big is going on but instead of it being sweet, it's just making me more sleep deprived & cranky. DH has tried to go settle them down but they only want "Mommy" & I cave just so they don't wake up DS. I'm worrying now that I'll be too rundown for labor when it's go time or end up sick and not being able to hold/ care for baby girl. Too tired to get things done & can't sleep when I actually get the chance but I should be happy that otherwise I feel pretty darn good (instead I'm running on an average of 2-3 hrs of sleep so I'm not letting myself drive & I'm exhausted, moody & feel like I'm not being a very good Mommy lately- I miss playing with DS & being excited for baby's arrival, this Zombie feeling has to go ASAP).
So.... I walked into my moms basement today and her cat likes to pee everywhere. I stepped onto the floor and slipped and fell onto the concrete floor. My stomach hurts a little bit, but I am sitting here drinking water. Counting babies movement, c section is scheduled for June 2.

My OBGYN told me to take regular Claratin, NO Claratin D and it didn't make me sleepy or anything but it put a stop to my allergies

Oh man... That's terrifying and probably maddening. Hope you and LO are ok!

I've slipped and fell a bunch of times. Not any time recently, being this far along, which probably means I'll fall soon, but I usually did exactly what you are doing. Sitting quietly, drinking water, paying attention to my body - was I cramping? Was LO moving normally? Other than my wounded pride and sore ass we did OK. Course, it is late in the game so don't hesitate to call a doc if you think you need to! I know I wouldn't. Glad you feel OK!
Be careful ladies! Hold the handrails. Falling at this point is super scary!! I would put you all in bubble wrap if I could.
I have a symptom!!! I got a contratction today!!! It was mild but still owie!!!!! All along my back then wrapping around my bump. I've been so lucky to avoid this so far!
@aliciac2008 My OB has said Sudafed (for no more than 3 days) and Tylenol Sinus are both approved meds that would help sinus and ear pressure but don't make you drowsy. Hope you feel better!
I'm here guys I was admitted to ICU to try and get my kidneys straightened out. After my blood work came back normal (finally) I'm headed home. I'm going to try to keep little man in few more weeks. Praying my kidneys hold up. If not we may be looking at an emergency CS. NOT in my birth plan and that's bothering me more than I expected but, I will defiantly appreciate the ease of cathing compared to being pregnant and doing it. So in a way I guess this was a chance for a baby and a wake up call!
Well apparently i shouldnt eat handfuls of raisinets bc last night i did and woke up this morning with the worst stomach pains right below my boobs . Hours later my stomach is still messed up and have only been able to eat toast feels like i have trapped gas and it wont go awayyy WTH...
@devyns2nd glad to hear that (for the most part) everything seems to be okay! I hope your kidneys hold up and you can avoid a CS, but regardless best wishes for a healthy baby in the end!

T&P @devyns2nd ! I'm super worried for you now!! Take care of yourself I hope that you have a positive experience with everything!! I hope someone at home is spoiling you tonight!

So I fell at work and told my doc I felt baby moving, etc. but they still wanted to do an NST and not sure if this applies to you but I'm Rh- so they did some labs to make sure I hadn't had any mixing of maternal-fetal blood. Just a heads up for anyone else that may fall and is Rh-... I was fine with no bleed but glad I know for sure.
Re: Weekend symptoms thread. Swollen, tired, crampy, or cranky? If you're feeling it post it HERE!!!
