How big is baby (fruit size or other)?

An iPhone! (Or an onion)

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?

Pulling feeling near my inguinal hernias. I have to remember not to yawn or stretch in my sleep. If I hold it in, its a little better.

Questions?

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far?
So I still occassionally get the really bad tailbone/buttcheek/lower back pain but recently the hernias are acting up. At least I can avoid back pain if I sit but the stretch is inevitable so the hernias are starting to win out. I asked my OB if I can have my general surgeon attend the c section so I can have the hernias repaired while I'm (hopefully under but) at least already numb and having to recover from surgery anyway. She said with my stonach so stretched out the patch wont fit right so they wouldnt do it until after I lost the baby belly. Well at this point I'm thinking I won't even have them repaired and just carefully monitor them. :-/

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Guinea pig

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? We're leaving for a cruise in a week. I tried to go bathing suit shopping this past weekend. It was awful and I didn't find anything. Trying again on Friday.

Questions?

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far? My back for sure.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Banana!

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Acid reflux, trouble sleeping.

Questions? None.

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far? How big my boobs have gotten. They are constantly sore and nothing fits. They also make me look like a whale, even though I haven't gained that much weight. My husband loves to remind me that they're only going to get bigger, ugh.

How many weeks today: 21

How big is baby: Pomegranate

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My OB thinks I've developed BV due to the type of discharge I've been having. But I had a bad reaction to the antibiotic she prescribed so I had to quit taking it after only three doses. I'm hoping she finds an alternative. Other than that I'm just suffering through seasonal allergies that are worse than usual since I can't take my prescription med. But I'm mostly feeling great because I can feel baby moving a lot and she feels nice and strong. I've felt much better since my anatomy scan last week.

Questions: Nope.

GTKY: The worst pain so far is my hips since I have to sleep on my sides. I'll wake up in horrible pain and it hurts so bad it takes me several minutes just to change positions to the other side. This happens all night and then my hips are sore the whole day afterward. I've also had some sciatica, but the chiropractor has helped a lot with relieving that pain.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Papaya

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I've been having some sciatic nerve pain which is annoying and also having trouble finding a comfy sleeping position. The good news is I've definitely been feeling baby move around! With an anterior placenta I wasn't sure how much I would feel!

Questions?

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far? Definitely the sciatic nerve pain! It is really painful at times, although fortunately is only in my butt cheek and not radiating to my leg, so I guess I'll take it!

20 weeks!

banana!

Still have tons of pressure down there... Excuse the lack of terminology but sometimes it feels like my crotch is going to fall off! Especially when running or using the restroom.

Has anyones spouses felt baby kicks yet? SO got to feel a kick a week ago now maybe.. Today I could REALLY feel them outside as well as in!!

Pain in is just all the pressure. Going to the bathroom is a chore! Sometimes standing up I need to adjust my position just for some relief. I'm finally feeling re-energized!!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Grapefruit

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Just enjoying getting to know this little guy, I know what I can eat and drink to get him moving and I love it!

Questions? Anyone who has had kiddos before, did you feel like the second pregnancy went by so much faster than the first?

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far? My biggest pain is a literal one, my back has hurt so bad this time around. It's been a really difficult adjustment some days.

JournoGrl23 · April 2016

@megframe16 yes! DH felt his first kick from the outside a couple weeks ago. It's been getting stronger ever since. My baby keeps doing this thing lately though where she'll be kicking like crazy then as soon as DH gets his hand on my stomach she stops kicking.

Both of my boys would do that!!! They'd be going crazy and then dads hand comes on and it was a dead stop! So amazing when you can feel them outside as well! Are they all over the place or usually in the same spot?

JournoGrl23 · April 2016

@megframe16 I have a semi anterior placenta (in the front but only to the left and wraps around my side) so at first I was just feeling them very low and to the right. But now I feel it everywhere! Both sides and up high. How about you?

megframe16 · April 2016

@JournoGrl23 it was mainly super low and majority still is but as time goes by I feel them much higher a lot more often! I have two baking so sometimes I feel them both really low and up high or on the side at the same time!!

How many weeks today? 20! Halfway there!!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Paper Airplane

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Lots of Braxton Hicks this week. My whole family was sick with norovirus last week (I wouldn't wish that sickness on anyone) and I'm finally feeling better! I actually got to leave the house today for the first time and it was super exciting!

Questions? -

GTKY: What has been your biggest pregnancy pain (physical or literal) so far? I've been pretty lucky so far. Just some RLP and lots of breast pain.

Yes! I've chalked it up to having a 2.5 yr old eating up all my attention and knowing what to expect this time. But it feels like it is flying, regardless.

jacmkelley · April 2016

@smilormarie I have a 2.5 year old DD and she takes up all of my time and attention too! I feel like I've hardly just smiled and enjoyed this pregnancy lol I've been busy enjoying my sweet girl growing up incredibly fast.
