@Lindsayleigh1989 yes! I haven't had a leg cramp in probably two years... then stretched my leg mid-dream last night and ended up with the most excruciating cramp! I haven't walked right all day. I half expect to look down at my calf and see the knot.
I've joined the insomnia club, the cramped lungs club and the pantyliner club all in the last 2 weeks! Fabulous. Also, I feel HUGE now. Like impossibly enormous. 14 weeks to go yet, aargh!
I had been feeling movement mostly in my left upper belly for the past couple of weeks. Today the bladder thumps are starting! I think baby must have flipped around and is now using my bladder as a trampoline!
So two things that have been getting gradually more severe. 1. The muscle on top of my pelvis is super sore or pulled. I feel it when I roll over or try to stand up. 2. I have twitching over the pelvic area. It feels like an eye twitch, but it's on top of my pelvic area.
Looking online, I found that there are lots of different explanations, but nothing sounds very legitimate. Both symptoms have been getting worse over the last three-four weeks. It's starting to worry me.
Before being pregnant, I always aimed to drink a gallon of water a day. I usually fell short, around 3/4 gallon. Now being pregnant, if I DON'T drink a gallon a day, I get all sorts of weird symptoms. I noticed that at night, I'll start to get mild menstrual-like cramps but if I drink more water, they immediately go away. Also, I'd get acid reflux in the middle of the night that woke me up and made me feel like I was going to have a heart attack - but if I drink water - gone! I had no idea how much water I would need to drink!
Tingling in the top of my left thigh - not all the time but if I sit or lay in certain positions for a while. Dr Google told me it's likely a pinched nerve somewhere. The joys of pregnancy - good thing I have a chiropractor appointment on Wednesday and a OB/GYN appointment on Friday
For those with acid reflux, I've found a few sips of apple cider vinegar followed by a few sips of aloe juice works wonders. I actually got an acv/ginger mix called "Stops Acid Reflux" at the grocery because straight acv wasn't as effective as I needed. It works like a charm, apparently it's an old Amish recipe. Thanks to the Amish!
Yesterday after my glucose challenge test (my result was low at 61) I felt ok but this morning I felt like I had low blood sugar and almost passed out and/or threw up on the way to work. Got very sweaty, pale, nauseous, etc. I have a feeling it was residual effects from the glucose test but has anyone else experienced this? I feel fine now but will talk to my ob if it continues.
Hahah is anyone else's voice cracking?! I've started noticing this ugh. I feel like a boy going through puberty! (It's not that bad - but still noticeable)
Today I have had what has felt like a bruised pelvis haven't even had sex that recently just aches
I've had that (getting worse) for about three weeks. I saw a suggestion online to keep knees together and right when sleeping and when swing legs over and down to stand up. It seems pretty annoying and seems like it isn't doing anything, but I've kept it up for two full days now, and the pain is waaaaaay better. Try it!

This is how my pelvis has felt since about 13 weeks. I have no idea why? I never had it with my first two, but it is very painful. It was to the point where I could barely walk in the beginning . Now, it's not as bad, but after I do anything strenuous, like working at my job (I am on my feet for 6 hours) or cleaning the house really hard, it comes back for a day or so. I've noticed sitting in a chair with my feet elevated helps, and at night I sleep with a pillow between my legs. Maybe try that, if you dont do those things already?
To all those Mommas who have left like someone has kicked them in the crotch: has it gotten better, worse, or stayed the same for you? This is going on 3 or so weeks, and it is not getting better, I would say slightly worse. After sitting for periods of time, or getting out of bed, my vag is sore as a mofo. I was hobbling after class to my car today!

It's varied. One week, I could barely walk. The next week, I was fine. This week, it's there but mild. I think it might depend on baby's position? Or how active you are? The week it was the worst, I barely did anything.

I felt like this near the end of the 1hr glucose test, it was awful! I figured it was just an insulin rush or something to take my blood sugar down, my result was in the 90s though so not as low as yours. Maybe your body just really attacks sugar? Lol, definitely call your OB if it continues but it does sound like it might be connected to blood sugar.

I've had people ask me if I'm sick. My voice is scratchy and definitely a little lower.

Haha yes mine is definitely lower too. I sound like a man in the morning. I've always had a monotoned deeper(ish) voice, but it's definitely different now. And then like I said, everyone once in a while it cracks and my husband gets a kick out of that.
I'm with you on the insomnia @Lindsayleigh1989. I got up to pee last night for the 2nd time and the baby kept me up kicking until the reflux started and then I just didn't sleep for a few hours. Finally fell back asleep just in time for my alarm. Also, stfu to everyone who tells me this is nature's way of preparing me for having a newborn. If that's true, nature is an asshole. I deserve to sleep now since I won't be sleeping in July.
This is kind of a weird symptom, but has anyone noticed changes in their vision? I already wear glasses because I'm basically blind as sh!t without them, but now I feel like it's getting worse. Was driving last night and felt like it was way harder to see than it normally is.
@elldel I read somewhere that vision changes can be a symptom. I've needed to get my eyes tested for awhile now but I'm putting it off until I'm not pregnant just in case. Probably silly on my part but I don't want to have to shell out money now and then again if my eyesight changes in a few months.
That's what I'm thinking too, @jennyleigh16. I'll wait until this little one is born and then go get them checked out. You're right, it would suck to have to pay twice if anything changes.
@elldel I got new glasses in January when my dog ate mine. The optometrist told me that pregnancy makes your vision worse and that they don't suggest making prescription changes until after you have the baby because chances are that your vision will return to what it was prior
@elldel Vision changes are very common during pregnancy and go back to normal (same as before) afterwards. I'm a pilot and in order to fly while pregnant you have to get your eyes tested every week. It's common to not pass the weekly vision test and be restricted from flying.
Yep my glasses suddenly need an update but I was told wait until after baby is born. Also lava esophagus and rainy lightening tits for symptoms. Waddle butts, useless abs, and constant pee but those are probably more universal...
Re: March Symptoms
I'm getting a lot of Charlie horses which is new and mainly in the middle of the night
Looking online, I found that there are lots of different explanations, but nothing sounds very legitimate. Both symptoms have been getting worse over the last three-four weeks. It's starting to worry me.
