I am with you ladies suffering from a lake of acid in my throat/chest. I woke up breathing fire in the middle of the night, literally gasping from the pain. Hubby has colitis and is a regular getter of heartburn and acid reflux, so I have been stealing the occasional Zantac, but I think it is going to have to become a regular thing if this keeps up because that feeling last night was deadly.
Is the overwhelming urge to eat refried beans a symptom? I just ate a bowl with hot sauce and ranch and am now making bean and cheese burritos. Must eat more beans...
@theshannondee I've had a stash of frozen ones in the freezer as emergency snacks to take to work this whole pregnancy but something snapped today and it's all I want
@Weville@theshannondee I'm having one for lunch today! I bought some yesterday because for whatever reason that sounded amazing. Sad that I don't have hot sauce in my bag (swag).

I had to have a bean burrito on Friday. Pretty sure I was 6 the last time I ordered one. This is madness haha
I just really want to be laying down all the time. Physically, I am so uncomfortable. I feel badly because I love my students, I love what I'm teaching, and I'm not even doing anything particularly difficult, but I hurt. Can I just cry and skip the adulting?
Soap products smell so good right now, I'm starting to think it might be a craving! I can resist though, I'm just going to be extra careful about taking my supplements and iron without fail.......
Also the cervix pinching is back. Ouch ouch ouch. Stop poking me down there.
@Serpica glad I'm not the only one! My dish soap all of a sudden smells amazing and I want to hand wash all the dishes instead of using the dishwasher. DH thinks I've gone crazy, I just love the smell and the bubbles all of a sudden I'm hoping it goes away soon, because it's the weirdest pregnancy thing ever
My fingers have decided to swell now that it's "hot" out...60+ degrees. My feet are sore on a daily basis but I think it's because I've been wearing sandals and flip flops more lately. Aaaaand everyday I contemplate if I should find some excuse to lay in bed and sleep all day.
Rudely awakened by a charlie horse this morning, now my leg hurts. And I'm dead tired and have to proctor tests today, which means basically staring at a wall for two hours. Pretty much my body is rebelling against functioning today.

@winnie1122 same here!!!! My poor husband thought I was having a seizure. It doesn't help that I feel like an overturned turtle and it was hard to get off the bed to walk it off. Will try the Gatorade before bed and hope this doesn't happen tomorrow
Calf pain ever since my charley horse yesterday I've upped my water intake and making sure to get potassium, calcium and electrolytes anyone else had this?
I get this pain that starts in my upper middle abdomen (think right in the middle of boobs, but down a little bit) and works it way to my back. When it is at its peak, I can't take deep breaths and feel like someone is taking a knife and twisting it in my back. I ended up in the ER over the weekend for it. Doc gave me a muscle relaxer, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried hot showers, Tylenol, Pepcid, Gas-x, stretching, massage, and now muscle relaxers. Any suggestions?
@backbypopulardemand any chance you actually aren't getting enough sodium? Maybe it's too much potassium and not enough sodium. Sorry it's still painful

In an American diet clinically low sodium is virtually impossible, low sodium presents itself as neurological symptoms not muscular symptoms.
Any swelling or temperature change in your legs ? Or is it only cramping?
@Backbypopulardemand I've had that really badly a coupla times and it was definitely dehydration leading to really bad Charley horse that left my calf sore for days. How much water can one lady with a baby drink? Ugh I hate water but now am known to drink a liter every couple hours
@backbypopulardemand@winnie1122Kellyj103 oh yes the charley horses are the worse... they were gone and now they're back... i've definitely been scaring DH in the middle night, we have an agreement that I need to say/yell "leg cramp" so he knows it's nothing else... I have found that making sure I take a walk during the evening does help. And then yes I've been doing all the same things you mentioned - lots of water, bananas, gatorade...
@Backbypopulardemand have you massaged it with either a therapy foam roller or a rolling pin? I have a lot of calf soreness, and massaging it with a rolling pin actually helped a lot.
Yes I have massaged it and used the foam roller a lot. I highly doubt it's from lack of sodium as its in like everything. Trying to up my water and maybe it's just sore from the cramp
The doctor lifted all restrictions from my hematoma....finally off pelvic rest! But now that I can actually have sex again (what I've wanted for the past 3 months) I'm a little hesitant! I'm afraid something will happen even though that is not what triggered the bleeding in the first place. Am I crazy for feeling this way??

It's natural to feel nervous after having to be cautious for so long but trust your dr and go have some fun. You don't have to go super crazy just ease back into it
I'm so hungry today I may die. I'm also breathless/lightheaded enough that the trip to the coffee maker, which is not that far away, tired me out enough that I needed to sit whilst my coffee brewed.
my right hand was super sore last night in the knuckle joints for no apparent reason... when I went to bed my entire arm felt like it was cramped all the way up to my back and shoulder... pair that with some pregnancy insomnia and it was not a fun night... I don't even know why that would happen
It's really weird to hear stomach noises right below my boobs. I realize that it's been shoved up there to make room for baby but it sounds like dinosaurs calling each other in there.

I have this often and found wearing a bra to bed, usually my nursing or sports bra, helps.
Has anyone had a headache that just won't go away? I had my blood pressure taken on Monday and it was fine. The nurse just said take it easy. But this is just getting irritating. Any tips? Tylenol isn't working.
@TM14 when in doubt, I always up my water consumption. My midwife insists I drink at least a gallon a day and sometimes I can tell I need more than that. It helps with a lot of my symptoms, especially headaches.

Tylenol sucks.
I drink so much water already. I feel like I'll explode if I do anymore XD but I'll give it a try

I asked the ultrasound tech which organ my child was kicking under my right boob and she confirmed it is my liver. My poor, much abused liver.
Tylenol sucks.
