Yesterday I accidentally slept in and skipped my work out. Well, I had severe back pain by about one in the afternoon. It's true what they say that exercise helps the pains. I will not be skipping it this morning, or probably any other morning.
@elenabrent I get the dizzy spells too! They just come out of nowhere. Hydration and (healthy) snacking seem to take the edge off a bit for what it's worth. Anything high protein or fruit. But my hearing gets foggy and I get tunnel vision when it happens. It's not fun, especially when I'm at work!
The exhaustion train pulled into my station this week. I need all the sleep. So. Tired.
The hunger of 16 lumberjacks. Woke up at 3 am to pee and was so hungry I couldn't fall back asleep. Finally got out of bed at 3:30 and went to eat something. Can't even make it through the night without a snack. Ridiculous!
@oneliloaktree13My doc didn't advise me to take extra iron for the anemia, just to up citrus to help absorb the iron I get in my prenatal. I feel like maybe the bean is hitting some kind of weird nerve that makes me suddenly feel like someone has reached down my throat and tried to scoop out my innards.
Having a weird day. Extreme nausea, throwing up, and dizziness. I got sent home from work so I'm just resting now. I am starting to feel better so I have no idea what was wrong. She's rolling around in there so that is reassuring.
Okay best symptom so far just after those first tri nipple skin tags- Butt hole becoming level with butt cheeks??? Like you know how the bellybutton flattens and becomes the same level as the belly? DH and I bathe every night and last night when I sat down in my usual crisscross, my butt hole touched the tub! I think it's because baby has been head down and putting pressure low, but WTH?! If my butt hole becomes an outie I'm going to be WAYYYYYY not okay with that!

@shaylalr That was me a few Wednesdays ago... it was bizarre! I felt better almost immediately after getting sick, but then baby was all up in my stomach when I was trying to sleep.

This made me LOL, and then cry a little. Hemorrhoids?

My biggest fear! People keep saying if you get hemorrhoids you'll know it... I'm going to pretend that this can't possibly be the case for a while longer.
@noelietrex Not to scare you, but it could be hemorrhoids that have "healed." I've been unfortunate enough to have had them since like high school, and now that I'm pregnant they're much worse. TMI but I definitely have a strange little non-painful fleshy protuberance hanging out right now (no pun intended...).

I'm just going to pretend that wanting to punch anyone who even looks at me funny is a symptom. Also, FYI for anyone silly enough to do it, don't tell a pregnant woman to calm down. I literally go from 0 to crazy in 3 seconds when someone does that!
Plus the fact I now feel like a furnace is so not cool!
Sore tailbone is new for me, but still dealing with so much hip pain at night and discharge. Also, lots of fullness from baby curling up in my upper abdomen or sticking her booty out!
Feeling a lot of tightness in my abdomen since last night. BH contractions I guess? It's nothing too severe but is definitely putting me on edge this morning. Maybe I need to drink more water. Would try to lie back down but I'm currently at work.
@rnyland1 I had this yesterday and the evening before and went to the hospital freaking out (FTM), the doctor basically said it was muscles stretching. The water definitely helps ease it off, even though it took several liters to help me. I think our muscles are just giving up on us at this stage! I definitely think it's time to invest in a belly band.
I think the third trimester is as weird with food as the first. I'm starving but few things are appealing. I can only eat a small amount then an hour later I'm nauseous with the hunger.
Removing my bra immediately results in nip leakage on my shirt. It's always a very small amount, but is still so annoying. I guess I am going to have to get some kind of soft bra to wear around at home because I get super grossed out having wet spots and I can imagine it will only get worse from here.
@lizhurt If you can find "Loving Moments by Leading Lady Maternity Nursing Sleep Bra" its amazing for this. Thin but comfy. I got a two pack at Walmart for $13
Waking up choking on stomach acid is getting really old. It tastes like puke and then my throat and chest burn for hours afterwards. I'm already on omeprazole and Zantac. Will apple cider vinegar help me or mess with my meds at this point? I'm at my wits end.
The omeprazle isn't working for you @shanparadise? How long have you been taking it?? It took a few days to kick in for me, but ever since I only rarely have heartburn now. I hope your stomach starts cooperating soon!
What the hell is up with this hunger??? Seriously, I will eat a bunch and 15 minutes later I am starving again. Wasn't this supposed to be the time we ran out of room for food?
