July Symptoms Thread

Nzamorw · July 2016

im due on the 15th and am so annoyed !! I just want to sleep in my stomach again..

Symptoms: Indegestion, fingers and toes joint pain, occasional cervical punching bag

Nerdchild · July 2016

The lightning pain that shoots down the leg has started. I promise I haven't 'forgotten' I am pregnant, no need to pile on the symptoms.

Heartburn, nausea, pelvic girdle pain, lack of sleep from said pain, constant sensation that I need to urinate, rabbit poop, headaches, faintness, fatigue, human furnace syndrome, lightning crotch, and now lightning leg.

sboston06 · July 2016

38+3 today. Mild low back pain, sciatica gone thanks to chiropractor, occasional lightening crotch/stabbing vagina feeling, nesting, weird bursts of energy (awake at 5:45 on my day off wtf), lots of BH but nothing regular yet. As of 2 days ago, not dilated yet but I know that can change anytime.

LF93 · July 2016

I'm having period type cramps, not the like the first day agony kind of cramps but like the second or third day kind of cramps. Not painful enough to be a concern just annoying! Insomnia too, its super annoying!

samantha1206 · July 2016

I find it extremely irritating that I spend the entire night trying to. Get comfy enough to sleep and of course I can't manage that until my alarm goes off for the 5th time. It is going to be a long day

MDmomma1217 · July 2016

Insomnia. I was up anyway at 3am this morning, but LO felt like he was spinning around right on my cervix....it hurt so bad. It was for a solid 5 minutes, very painful, I couldn't sit or lay down, almost woke up DH.

nikkimarie159 · July 2016

Insomnia, nausea, every joint hurts, and to top it all off, I'm pretty sure I have a hemorrhoid. Woohooo

AshGee18 · July 2016

I lost count of my hemorrhoids

tucks wipes and prep H has helped a little. Wonderful pregnancy symptoms lol

So things are now at a standstill. And I'm so frustrated. I went into L & D on Sunday night with strong and close contractions. They sent me home because I was only dilated to 1 cm, but they were sure id be back in a day or two. Had an appt on Wednesday morning-- still only dilated to 1 cm. My dr is shocked because she thinks I'm at least two weeks ahead of my recorded due date. So she said to walk as much and as quickly as possible and do as little sitting as possible and she was sure it would be quick. Here I am Friday, and I don't think there's been any progress. Contractions are less strong and even more irregular. And I'm bored! I'm too uncomfortable to go out and do anything so I walk twice a day, read, watch tv, clean minimally around the house, and nap sitting in a chair. So bored and tired of waiting.

Also, last night at 2 am a skunk sprayed outside my bedroom window that was wide open. I finally woke up to the horrible smell, after it had permeated throughout the whole house. And then Inwas awake the rest of the night. Waaaaahhhh!

setosh · July 2016

My poor hips. As soon as I get a good hour of sleep in I have to get up to pee and switch to my other side. This happens every hour. After tonight I only have 2 more days of work. I can do this!

LF93 · July 2016

@setosh Yes to the hips too. Every time I switch sides all the bones pop and crack, so uncomfortable!

ktomorrow · July 2016

Increasingly common tearing/jabbing cervix pressure. Telling myself that means things are progressing until doc tells me otherwise. *the power of the mind

erin7264 · July 2016

OK, I'm done. Tried to have sex with hub last night and could not find a single comfortable position, which led to awkwardness because it's not fun for him if I'm not enjoying it. Time to get out, LO! You are cramping my style!

In addition to that, I now have perpetually swollen ankles, but at least it feels like baby has moved down some.

swtbaby285 · July 2016

I'm having a ton of Braxton hicks contractions now. I've been diagnosed with chromohidrosis (colored sweat) because I'm always hot and I'm now turning blue so that's fantastic (insert sarcastic tone here). Have an appointment with a surgeon because apparently this pregnancy has done a number on my gall bladder and it now needs to be removed. Lack of sleep, pregnancy brain, but feeling a huge urge to scrub every imaginable surface in our home. Back aches, head aches, lightening, and cramps. I love my son already but so ready to have him out of me!

mrsmommya · July 2016

Swelling, swelling, swelling can kiss my ass! It sucks and makes you feel completely immobile! I have 3 weeks left and things are going downhill fast.

setosh · July 2016

I think I'm having contractions? It feels like bad period cramps and they're coming and going every 10 or less minutes. They aren't so bad that I can bare them. My mom thinks I should go get checked out so she's on her way over in case they get worse.

mnkenned · July 2016

I don't think my belly can physically get any bigger. How do I still have 3.5 weeks?! I can't sleep or breath or move or walk. Sigh.

shaylalr · July 2016

I've been having cramps all day. Feeling really off and not very hungry. They started getting slightly painful a couple hours ago and 5 minutes apart for about an hour. Now they have just stopped!!! I guess I am going to eat ice cream and go to bed.

shaylalr · July 2016

My water just broke!!! Looks like this is happening.

onesassybishh · July 2016

Good luck @shaylalr

samantha1206 · July 2016

Good luck @shaylalr!
i have given up on sleeping in the bed. I don't even try anymore. With the hip pain and the indegestion it seems a waste. Woke up several times last night with sharp period like pains on one side, front and back. Seemed to be having a good many contractions yesterday too. Yay?

Racso12 · July 2016

Good luck @shaylalr!!

Started experiencing cramping yesterday and it's continued into today. Combined with what I think is my bloody show. I feel so clueless!! My husband is gone for the rest of the day at a triathlon training day with limited phone access so I'm hoping nothing too exciting happens.

DachshundMomma · July 2016

Cramping/BH contractions just in the morning, or that I'm able to notice. Sorry baby John, you need to stay put another week and a half until your dad gets home! Preferably 3 and half weeks. Ok, thanks

AshGee18 · July 2016

Congrats to the new mama's!!!!!!! So adorable

MDmomma1217 · July 2016

Contractions most of the day yesterday, and today none. I did immediately throw up my breakfast this morning,and had an awful headache, I'm hoping that might be a sign of things to come? Either way, not in the mood to do anything, and my in-laws are coming over today for a cookout.

LF93 · July 2016

Two days into July and already the birth announcement thread is so packed. Congrats to all the new momma's, your babies are adorable! Jealousy has increased x1000

The joys of being an end of month momma!

allthingscozy · July 2016

So super random but I pee all the time like almost constantly these days. Last night I got up to pee but my stomach was kind of tight and it was super painful to go to the bathroom like burned yet this morning peed like normal. What the heck is going on?

Heathereaddy · July 2016

Pelvic pain, pooping pellets, heartburn, and Braxton hicks all the time! Cmon baby!!!

UGH SAME!

Nerdchild · July 2016

Vomitting and diarrhea is new. And unpleasant.

LadyFleck · July 2016

I've been nauseous after eating yesterday and today too. No throwing up yet (but that's rare for me anyway). Can these babes just let up on new symptoms for all of us this late in the game?

samantha1206 · July 2016

I keep getting a sharp pain on my left side, followed by rightness of the belly, sometimes only on one side sometimes the entire belly. Not sure if this count as anything or not

LF93 · July 2016

@samantha1206 Someone said before that you can get contractions just on one side, I can't remember what thread it was in though! You should try lay down for a while to see if it gets better/worse!

samantha1206 · July 2016

@LF93 thanks! I've been relaxing and they've eased up a bit but are still hanging in there occasionally.

BecauseBabyIamAPug · July 2016

Any one elses breast hurt all of the sudden? Not just tender or sensitive but my actual breast tissue is really hurting, like I was in the 2 weeks wait. I don't recall this with my first two babies.

lolomommy1 · July 2016

Lots of crampiness going on in my uterus here and there. When it's hot I can feel my legs and feet swell. My back hurts like no other and it's getting really difficult to find a comfortable position at night. Getting lots of Braxton Hicks and random bouts of diarrhea (sorry tmi but is a sign of labor)... haven't lost my mucus plug or anything yet, but I'm on the look out since it's getting close and I can tell my body is getting ready for labor!!! Sooooo excited to see my baby soon!!!! 38 weeks today.

samantha1206 · July 2016

@BecauseBabyIamAPug I've been having that happen to me here and there all of a sudden too. Very strange.

sboston06 · July 2016

I'm not officially timing contractions (yet) but they are almost clockwork 30 minutes apart right now. I am guzzling water. My other "symptoms" are really vague (nesting, lightening about 4 weeks ago) and I haven't lost my mucous plug yet. The doctor checked me on Wednesday and I was totally closed, though I know that can change pretty fast.

I don't want to get my hopes up but I also don't really want to go into work tomorrow morning :-/

eymi · July 2016

Three weeks ago I was 1 cm, on Thursday I was 2 cm and 40% effaced.. But no contractions, mucous plug, or bloody show so far. I know my body is getting ready but I guess baby is happy where he is! It's frustrating to feel so close but not have any idea when things will get rolling. 38 weeks today so at least I'm in the home stretch!

setosh · July 2016

Not getting any sleep tonight. Keep waking up because I'm too hot, thirsty or have to pee. Now every 30 mins there are severe thunderstorms. Not cool.
