Heart burn is so bad I feel like I should be calling fire department to put it out. Have not slept in 3 days it's so bad. Other than that aczema still on the war path going to get so organic coconut oil today and try that.
I don't think I have carpel tunnel as my wrists/hands feel normal most of the time except for when I'm driving. If I'm behind the wheel longer than 10 minutes, my hands fall asleep. It's so annoying and uncomfortable.

Braxton Hicks have started for me, too. Time to increase my water game! I feel like I waddle when I walk. Insomnia on and off this week. Still super emotional alllll the time.
I'm going to sleep as soon as I get home! Had some spotting last night and didn't get out of the hospital and home until 3am. Today is the last full day of the school year so I couldn't call out (they are super strict about the last 2 weeks) plus I have a Drs. appt at 4:45 which is closer to my job than house. He takes forever sometimes and all I can think about all day is my bed. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep and absolutely exhausted... Spotting was my symptom and exhaustion is the aftermath!
It's kind of weirding me out that I don't really have any symptoms right now. I don't feel like he's running out of room yet and I only get aches and pains if I'm standing up for a long time, like at a party or wedding reception which we have had a lot of lately. It's a good thing I can feel baby boy moving around a lot. I know the uncomfortable is coming so I'm trying enjoy this little phase!

@MRSCORKER yes thank you! They don't know where the bleeding was from and I had a bit more today which can be from the internal exam. I'm going to ask my OB when I see him later!
i normally have serious excessive pooping, but last night I had made rice, and now I am so constipated I wanna cry. its making me all mushy inside and this little girl is kicking my bladder which is already squished and even worse now because im full of poop send help.
@MRSCORKER - that's probably carpal tunnel. Mine's only really bad lying in bed and when I'm on my cell phone. Luckily it's not bad at work. But the numb/falling asleep are signs of it. You could try braces if it gets really bad, although I haven't found they work much for me, I know they work wonders for others.
@MrsB627 - that must have been scary! Please keep us posted on what your OBGYN says.
I've been feeling more and more baby movement, but nothing externally. It still feels more fluttery vs. actual kicks. She's most active in the afternoon and evenings. So far nothing has been able to "trigger" her but I am going to drink some OJ before going for the follow up ultrasound on Friday, just in hopes it gets her to move some more. Do the movements/kicks ever make your stomach hurt/cramp? Every now and then I'm feeling movement and then suddenly feel like I have to rush to the bathroom. Not sure if they're connected or not.

@MrsB627 Scary! Hope you're doing better and all is well - keep us posted!
@MorganL925 I'm still in the swishy, flipping, fluttery movements, too. No real kicks yet, and nothing externally. When baby is super active I'll put my hand on my belly to see if I can feel it, but I think I'm just making myself think I can feel movement! I have found that drinking cold water gets them going!
@ibabyloveb87 - I'm practically symptom free, as well, and have been throughout the entire pregnancy. I get the occasional RLP, but that's about it. Like you said, I'm enjoying it while it lasts. I'm sure we'll think back on these posts in a couple months and long for the easier days!
The carpal tunnel is no joke. Wore wrist splints on both hands last night but still barely slept. Stayed home today to rest, and just generally feeling exhausted and swollen.
@morganl925 I'm pretty sure the sudden urges to pee are the baby kicking or putting pressure on the bladder. It doesn't feel like something touching or tapping, just little pulses of urge, but I'm pretty sure that's the baby! Also someone else on here mentioned that before (but I don't remember who or on what thread).
Thanks for the support ladies! My OB said baby sounds great! His heartbeat was 148 and he was kicking along while there. He did mention that I've lost 5 lbs but I'm plus size but he still said try to maintain and not loose. He said if I gain 10lbs in the next 3 months it's ok. I have a growth ultrasound July 5th to check out the little man because I have a kidney disease and gestational diabetes.
The freaking stabbing pain in my right hip bone! Mix that with the SPD and I'm waddling and limping after sitting down. She is also hanging really low most of the time so she is going nuts on my bladder and my whole belly feels strained and pulled.
Has anyone lost their wedding rings yet? Mine are feeling a little tighter than normal but I'm not sure if it's just due to it being warmer outside or slight swelling! Maybe both.

@ibabyloveb87 I started wearing mine on a necklace a few weeks ago. My hands always sweat and swell a lot in the summer so as soon as it started to get hot out and my rings started to get tight I put them on a necklace. I didn't want to risk it!
Ugh, so sorry to hear that some of us are going through it with our pregnancies. For me, excessive back pain/ ribcage pain is my lovely symptom that popped up recently. Last night was the worst its ever been.... I had a back injury a few years ago and of course I don't think the pregnancy is helping....owwie.
@Sprinkels28 yup same here. I asked my doctor about it last week and he said that I could try using a heating pad on my ribs to try to help relax the muscles that are getting squished. It's safe for the baby because it's high up enough. I haven't noticed a real difference though so who knows if it will actually help. :-/

I think it's a combo. I'm still wearing mine out but I'm wearing them less and less at home!

I think the baby is having a growth spurt. My stomach (the muscles I guess) feel like they are stretched as far as possible and it isn't very comfortable. It does this about once a week or so and my belly pops more and it goes away.

Also, I expected it to be hard to breathe laying flat..... but I didn't expect it would be hard to breathe:
1.) Laying on my side
2.) When I've eaten a meal
3.) When I'm wearing a bra
4.) When I'm in any position except upright.
WTF?
