Daily symptoms, Questions and Concerns Check-In - July 21

Happy Tuesday Everyone. 

How are we?

I am back to having difficulty sleeping. I instinctually want to sleep on my tummy. I start off on my back or side, but always wake up on my stomach. Lately I have been trying to sleep with a pillow between my legs, but I find it just makes me hot, or i manage to kick it away, and still end up on my tummy. I think the reason I am not sleeping well, is that I am trying so hard to NOT end up on my tummy, that I am not getting into a deep sleep. Any suggestions?

    Has your doc specifically told you not to sleep on your stomach? It is the most comfortable position for me some nights, so I do it while I still can. When I was pg with DD the doctor said its fine as long as you are comfortable, and baby will let you know when it's not.

    I have been having muscle and joint stiffness and aches, especially my hips, knees, and quads. I walk nearly daily, so I'm wondering if I'm not getting enough protein or calcium or other nutrient.

    @stephpegasus, no the midwife did not say anything about it, Ive just been told / heard that I am not supposed to, so I have been trying to find ways to get comfortable sleeping other ways. 

    As for your pains, have you tried a hot compress or water-bottle? I find it helpful, especially when I am achy.

    My doc told me today that when it's time to get off my stomach I'll know- because I won't be able to lay on it anymore. I'm a total stomach sleeper and have been trying to get comfortable on my side to no success- so that was a relief to hear.

    I'm feeling pretty awesome these days- hungry, happy. I still am self-conscious about the way I look but overall I'm happy! Hoping it lasts!

    12w4d, still sleeping about 10hrs a night and ravenously hungry, but at this point it's just the new norm! My ears have been a little stuffy with minor pain, especially at night when lying down, but saline spraying my sinuses seems to help it most of the time, so I'm fairly certain it's connected to my sinuses and not an infection (if it gets worse or doesn't subside with sinus cleansing I'll go to my ENT).

    12w3d my son ran into my stomache the other night ever since ive been having pressure in my lower right abdomen and since reading about all these losses im concerned. Constantly checking for bleeding. Keeping positive thoughts and i know baby has a lot of protection in there. After 2 miscarriages in less than a year its hard not to worry.

    16w1d and I'm feeling pretty good..knock on wood! My only complaint is sleep...getting up to use the bathroom and just insomnia in general! Weirdly, I'd rather have more symptoms just so I know everything is fine! I told that to my husband and he looked at me like I had two heads!

    Hello everyone! I'm new, but have been lurking since getting a BFP. This will be my second pregnancy after having twins a few years ago.

    I'm feeling pretty fat, headaches have been constant and I'm having a lot of ligament pain the last couple of days. I don't remember having this pain this late in my last pregnancy. Can anyone else relate right now?

    Oh and I get full after eating a small meal, but then I am starving 5 minutes later! I have a feeling this is going to be a crazy pregnancy!

    Still getting sick in the mornings. I stay nauseous if I don't eat, so I have to make sure to eat small meals throughout the day. It is so annoying because NOTHING tastes good. Food just tastes so blech!! Except for milkshakes. That's probably where my weight gain has come from. Had my 14 week appointment today, going for a gender reveal ultrasound later this week!

    15.5 weeks. I can finally sleep. I was having a very hard time for the past 2 weeks but I think it is starting to pass. Now I will have to wait and see what other dreadful symptom replaces it. :)

    14w 2d here. Sorry to be MIA today, it was my school day. Not much new, starting to feel better and more calm re: Down's confirmation.

    For those not sleeping comfortably, I found a bath or shower before bed helped loosen my legs/back last pregnancy.

    @skfg I'm so glad you're feeling better, I've been thinking about you! 

    And I totally second the shower thing...I used to swear by morning showers, but recently I've been loving my evening showers, I just feel so clean and calm before bed :)
