Is anyone else having the awful headaches that nothing seems to help that last for hours and hours ?! I had one yesterday eventually fell asleep woke up with it going strong
Yes, the last two days I've woken up with terrible headaches and they stick around for about 3-4 hours. I'm not sure why either... I've been hydrated, I've eaten, I've slept, etc.
Daily for a few weeks. Chiropractic, massage, fluids, sleep, meds... nothing helps
What is wrong with all of us?! I'm guessing it is hormone related since nothing seems to help. As sad as I am so many of you have the same thing glad I'm not crazy in thinking nothing is helping!
I drink water throughout the day but feel like I'm always parched--- it's not like cottonmouth and not necessarily thirsty, just dry. I've been carrying around lifesavers and chewing gum bc that's the only thing that helps
I noticed braxton hicks for the first time yesterday. I didn't actually feel anything, but I was laying in bed and looked down at my belly and thought it looked firm, so I put my hand on it and it was hard as a rock. It was back to normal a little while later.
Also over the past week or so I noticed I'm finding myself feeling out of breath much more easily. Bend over to put on socks and tie my shoes? Ok, time to sit down and take a break. Eat too much food too fast at dinner? Time to lay down because it's too uncomfortable/difficult to sit up straight any longer. I definitely agree with the PP who said it's humbling. And on that note, I need to find myself some comfortable slip ons for work & practice pacing myself/portion control now when dinner time rolls around...
I hear you ladies with the headaches. My midwife said that baby is growing pretty rapidly right now and it can cause shifts in blood pressure that contribute to headaches.
I had an episode with SPD this weekend that was the worst. I had pubic pain all day on Saturday and by the time the evening rolled around I could barely move it hurt so bad. I really hope that was a one time deal because it was seriously debilitating and I can't imagine dealing with it daily with DS running around.
I think this change in blood pressure is manifesting in a different way for me. I could barely breathe last night, so when I got up for a pee, I blew my nose... And apparently the contents of my brain came out into the tissue. Nosebleed-tastic! I got relief for a while but then it all crusted up again (sorry!) pretty soon afterwards and I had to breathe (snore) through my mouth for the rest of the night. Yuck truck.
@Kannerush try using a Nettie pot! It did wonders for me! I would use a Nettie pot morning and night and then put on a breathe right nasal strip at night. Lots of relief!
The constipation has been unbearable....I mean, it's been like a few days now since I've had a reasonable BM. Horrible gas too. These things are probably related. Sorry if it's TMI by lawd it is miserable!!!
I think my boob is leaking, but I can't catch it in the act. Earlier I was cleaning and all of the sudden had a solitary dime sized wet spot on my shirt right on top of my left boob, but the boob itself didn't look like it had done anything new or different. I just woke up from a nap and there was a giant wet spot in the same place. So either I'm a talented drooler or this boob is a sneaky leaker! FTM so I have no boob leakage frame of reference. Weird. Also, hip pain and RLP is killing my sleep. I can hardly roll over to change positions in bed. Feel like a freaking beached whale. Pregnancy is weird!

I think this hip and pelvic pain situation is going to kill me. My right hip feels completely disconnected which is making my lower back feel uneven and send shooting pains every which way. Then I started getting this tearing/radiating pain where my upper thigh meets my pelvis on the inside. It kind of felt like my leg was being ripped off by some sort of invisible demon.
Anyone know what that's all about? Because it sucks. A lot.

Do you have a si loc belt?
Eta: girl just know I am with you and feel your pain im guessing it's our hips expanding but it hurts like a mofo and I'm sick of it. I'll screen shot some of the exercises my pt gave me and send them to you

Ugh. I have it too. I literally get stuck on the couch and I'm crying in pain. The Si loc belt has helped sooo much. I highly recommend it.

Squeeze it and see!
Lol I tried that and it didn't do anything! But I did just catch my other one in the act. So now I know that I'm officially on the leaky boob boat. Oh joy!

Totally irrational but I'm starting to worry that I've had no boob leakage! Oh boy. I moan when I have symptoms and then worry when I don't. Need to take a chill pill I suppose - it's still early. When does one legitimately panic about no leakage though, I wonder?

My best friend and mom told me they both never had any leakage until after their babies were born. So they were really surprised when I said mine leaked. Don't worry at all!!! It's not a definite thing
If I have one more sleepless night caused by hip pain where I'm in and out of bed stretching and crying because this ish sucks I'm going to just cut off my legs!!
This back pain is starting to become unbearable. Cat/Dogs on the floor at work (which draws attention, let me tell ya!) or changing positions in my chair helps for a few minutes then we're right back to soreness. Can I rationalize that it's because I wasn't blessed with full hips so baby is going back instead of out? ugh.

Yes, dont worry like PP said. With my first and second I never leaked during pregnancy and I was a milk making MACHINE. I over produced in the milk department. This time I have seen them leak, which took me by surprise. It is definitely not an indicator of your milk supply though.
@Kannerush same here! Every new leaker we have, I whip a boob out, play with it a bit, and put my sad dry boob away. I have a fear that these babies will not produce any milk at all, and if I were to have a bit of leaking, it would put my mind to rest.
Does brown discharge count as a symptom? I don't know what's going on the last couple of days. I suddenly have spotting that I haven't had at all this pregnancy. Called the OB office but they haven't returned my call. I'm pretty sure it's fine but I'd rather have one less thing to worry about. Bleh.
Carpel tunnel!!!! My wrists are going to fall off. Also conducting depositions while pregnant is horrible. I have to request snack and pee breaks constantly!
FTM here and I felt Braxton Hicks contractions (I think) today. There's a tightening on the midsection of my belly and also left groin tightening that makes it hard to move my left leg. Not painful but rather unpleasant. Guess this will prepare me for birth!

Brown means old blood so you're probably okay but I think you did the right thing by calling your OB.

Doesn't look like they are too concerned either cuz I still haven't heard back. At least it's gone today though so hoping it stays that way!
@breanneestafford1 I notice a similar symptom if I eat a large meal so I try not to stuff myself silly which helps ease the discomfort. I think it's from baby running out of room.
SO much pain in my back and lower pelvis after I do anything physical. Today I pretty much detailed the car for an hour because we are selling it, and Im in so much pain now.
Oh, hip pain & insomnia, I loathe you. Up at 3:30 this morning and still can't fall back asleep. Baby is doing somersaults, thinking its time to wake up...is this how it's going to be when she's out of the womb in a few months?! Ugh!
Ha @jlmartinez517 right there with you! I saw you liked my instagram pic at 3:30am because I couldn't sleep either! I got a tiny bit of happiness knowing someone else was awake. And hip pain was real....
Oh man @theshannondee sorry you were up, too! Some spring break, huh?! I managed to fall asleep downstairs on the couch at 6:30 and slept til 9:30. Hope you got some more sleep!
