Being almost 33 weeks pregnant means loose ligaments, lack of balance and my center of gravity thrown off anyway, but those things seem to be aggravating and old knee injury. I can't walk without my knee giving out, and it's in pain now for the first time in several months. Plus this is making getting up from the floor even harder than normal.
The worst is feeling like my leg/hip is dislocated. I'm not sure how normal this is but it hurts pretty bad lol. I also feel like I have to poop a lot(tmi, I know) even though I know I don't. There's just so much pressure on my lower back & abdomen so it just feels like I really need to go. And of course the sore vag. I'm just over all of it. I can't. I just can't. (
Ok yes! I don't feel like anyone gets it when I tell them but I literally feel like my hip is dislocated. I think it's similar to when you were younger and you popped the Barbie's hip off accidentally in the middle of an outfit change. It's just my left hip! It's almost impossible for me to walk it off anymore either. I used to be able to get up and walk every hour for 3 or 4 min and it would be fine but now nothing I do fixes it! My husband used to be able to push my knee towards my armpit and it would go away for a few hours. NOT ANYMORE. I can deal with the random swelling of hands and feet, constant thirst, heartburn, chapped lips, Braxton Hicks contractions, constant pooping but feeling constipated, and piles but I am in so much pain all the time with this stupid hip that I actually wonder if it will go away once I have the baby. I have gone to a chiropractor, done stretching, walked, and I scheduled a massage for next week if anyone else has suggestions I would take them.

My hip is also super jacked up and I can barely walk these days and that makes life pretty difficult! Have any of you ladies broken down and bought a cane? I feel old and pathetic but I'm seriously wondering if I should get a cane.

Since the beginning of my pregnancy I have stopped growing leg hair almost completely hahah! I thought maybe it would come back by now but it hasn't! Also extremely sporadic moments of not being able to breathe & feeling like I need to be in water?
I feel the same way. My first two pregnancies were so seamless with the normal aches and pains. This one is a whole new ball game. I've had preterm labor issues and crazy amounts of pain. I got diagnosed with proctitis and have had bleeding and bowel issues for 7 weeks which is making me anemic and now I'm having kidney issues with random bouts of pain that have me hunched over for 30 min unable to move..I'm so ready for the next 6 weeks to fly by. I think the midwives I see probably feel the same way : )
I have pregnancy carpel tunnel in my right (dominate) hand. I didn't even know this was possible.
7 more weeks of NO feeling in my fingers - YAY
Yeah, I'm with you. Didn't even know this was a thing. Finally looked it up and when I tell ppl, they're like, what? Carpal tunnel induced by pregnancy?!? Yep. Sucks. Although, I guess it could be worse. I mean, that's my worst/most uncomfortable symptom and I'm getting more used to it, but not fun thinking that we have 7 weeks of numbness left!!
Mine is my itchy,smelly swollen vagina! I can not take it anymore, I've been dealing with this for like 2 months now... And nothing helps. I've tried going commando whenever I can, bigger undies. Diaper rash, witch hazel pads, panty liners. Nothing is working! I have an appt on tues I am going to ask them to test me for a yeast infection of the skin. Or they can just chop it all off I am to that point! Only 6 more weeks!
Weirdest? My ears are constantly popping, like when you descend at the end of a flight. It happens pretty much every day and has for months. It is both weird and annoying!!

Heartburn and indigestion have gotten worse these last few days. Urgh. Feeling like I need to have an antacid I.V. Weirdest symptom? My pelvis popping. When I stand up from a sitting position, it feels like my pelvis is hung up like it needs to pop and it's painful. Once I manage to straighten, it pops and feels better, but I feel like a 90 year old woman with my hand on my lower back. 9 more weeks, 9 more weeks....
Also, since I got pregnant, I've suddenly developed an allergy to guinea pigs (sneezing, itchy/watery eyes) and rats (hives). I worked at a pet store for the first half of my pregnancy.
Back/ hip pain. I was always nervous about the prospect of pregnancy due to my numerous back and and hip injuries and now I know that my fear was completely validated. Hurts like a mother (and I'm very used to pain), I can't figure out a way to NOT be in pain, and to top it all off it keeps triggering anxiety attacks. Ugh.
How is anyone solving the dull achy pain of the vajay? It is keeping me up at night and i still have a few weeks of work left i anticipate it is going to get worse .
Mine has been the Acne! This is the worst acne I have had in my entire life! Forehead, sideburns, chin, nose, neck, behind my ears, chest. Cannot get on top of it! Since I found out I was expecting!
So bad, that for example, was eating corn one day, and my mom pointed out that I had some corn on my chin. It was a pimple that popped up in the 20 minutes or so since dinner started. Le Sigh.
Mama to a wonderful DD - Sep 2015, Wife to my DH since 2011, 2 dogs, a cat, and hoping to add No. 2 in May/June 2018.

Re: What's your worst/weirdest pregnancy symptom?

Abso-freaking-lutely! Please also take pictures.
Restless fingers causing me to rub my hands frantically and poke my DH eyes at night when I'm "Trying" to sleep
I am so ready to get my body back! :-)
