  • @AllyTheKid You mean do I have room on this giant lazy boy reclining couch? Sure do!

  • Ditto on the butthole kicks.  It feels so bizarre.  
  • @annabenanna I am on my 4th bottle of water today. 

    @Kaytee1087 meeting Nathan Fillion made it all worth it. 

    @AllyTheKid no cramping. She's been quieter than usual, but that could be because of how stinking hot it is.

  • This baby better be growing some hair cause the acid burning sensation at the back of my throat sucks! And it only really started this week.

    I guess I'm lucky - my hair is usually super oily, and it's been less so, which is definitely an improvement! (It hasn't gotten any thicker though.)
    @RainMira9e Randomly enough, this is me too. I used to have to wash my hair at least every other day but now I can go 4 or 5 and its glorious! This may be my favorite pregnancy side effect!
  • Ugh... I'm not going to make it y'all. None of my usuals are helping the heartburn tonight... Whaaa lol
  • @Kaytee1087 someone described it to me as almost feeling like a heartbeat and that's what it feels like to me. It's like a light tapping sensation and it's rhythmic. I've only felt it a few times and the tapping sensation has been on what feels like my pelvic bone as opposed to a kick which is on the outer part of my uterus/stomach.

    @MrsHudson2014 LOVE Nathan Fillion!

  • Dreams are my symptom- Bizarre, vivid dreams.
    Last night I dreamt that because I owe the IRS, they decided they were going to try to confiscate Johnny as payment once he is born, so FI and I met up with the study abroad program at my school and they were going to smuggle us out of the country on their next trip. 

    Funny thing is I owe less than a G, and just PAYING them was never an option...?

    that's hiccups?! I get those!! I just though my guy was Jammin out in there or something.  My mom told me hiccups are usually strong enough to make your stomach jump with each hic but that wasn't happening with me so I figured it wasn't it.

  • Hiccups don't make my belly bounce, they are way more subtle. They are consistent and rhythmic like PP said, for me anyway. I think they feel weird, but I'd take them over BH, lightening crotch, and butthole kicks anyday!
  • @ashleyp625 I have had that same dream myself, actually. Not the months, but I had Carlisle and she was a 1 yr old size on my hips while I was still pregnant and cooking Cora. So weird. It's because she's bigger I think, lol. 
  • @books&icecream Oddly enough, they planned on trying to set up a rendezvous in Germany with YOU. But I didn't actually "see" you in the dream, they were just talking about you.

    I think I Bump too much, I'm dreaming of you ladies and I've never even met you!
  • @AllyTheKid you were in my dream last night but I can't remember the details...I just know I told my hubby "That's AllyTheKid"

  • @books&icecream that's pretty close to my unborn child's future life ;) I can't relinquish kitchen control to anyone else! 
  • also fix your name so we can tag you!!!!
  • @LauraPCOS I hope I was a warlock!
  • @sjo_thetwins +1 to butthole kicks. 

    Also, baby has had hiccups like 5 times today.

    Have a wonderful birthday! :)

  • @kmolleltz happy birthday! since the previous post mentioned cake it reminded me of the sugar shortage you had going on there..please tell me you can have cake that doesn't cost as much as a car today! 
  • kmtz89kmtz89 member
    thanks @books&icecream and @mrszoess

    The sugar crisis ended. We haven't bought a cake yet though :expressionless:... I saw some at the western grocery store/bakery that were the equivalent of like $15... I'll let you know how it tastes. haha

    Have officially reached thigh chafing status this week. This thoroughly sucks!

    I hate the feeling of my thighs touching so much! It might be the worst thing about being pregnant during summer. It's too hot for pants but the rubbing makes skirts uncomfortable too!

    IT'S A BOY!!!!

  • Ha... I reached that status pre BFP. And yes, it blows!
  • I always had thigh chaffing - ya it sucks! Though the polysporin antichaffing cream works nicely!

  • Ugh. We went to a concert last night, and I had a half hour long nosebleed. The medic said it was probably half pregnancy and half humidity. We missed the entire opening band (which we didn't care about anyway ;) ) trying to get it stopped. 
  • Bummer! Plus I have never heard of humidity being a cause of nosebleed. Dry air yes - not humidity though. *off to google*

    Yes to this!  I gave up pants weeks ago and have been living in skirts & dresses, but now that sucks too! 
    I've been sneakily using my H's powder he uses on his balls, lol. 

    I went to Amazon in search of this magic cream you spoke of @LauraPCOS and came across these: 

    Has anyone heard of them or given them a try?
  • Aaaah!! I'm SO WITH YOU ALL on the thighs touching. I was so proud of my barely-there thigh gap before pregnancy, now they're rubbing everywhere I go and it's TOO HOT for pants! The struggle is so so real.

    On a side note, this week I have had the most extreme back pain..... whether I'm sitting, lying down, on the couch, in the car, standing up, ugh! 
  • guys, grease your thighs w deodorant, works just as good as the expensive chafing stuff for a fraction of the price. I keep a stick at work for touch ups and a travel one in my purse 
  • I use Gold Bond spray to keep my thighs from chafing. The amount of deodorant and body spray that I have to use on a daily basis is ridiculous.
