Question... I've been having this weird sensation lately where all of a sudden it feels like my ab muscles (maybe?) are really tired like I've been planking and I have the urge to "rest" my bump. Like, find something to support it. I don't think I feel hardness but could this be BH or maybe just stretching?
ETA: I meant to put this in the symptoms thread. Oh well.

@MRSCORKER I'm not sure if everyone's BH feels different, but mine feel like everything is being pulled to the center of my uterus. The entire thing just gets tight and rock hard in the middle/front. Then it's squishy again.

Yes! I've been feeling that this week. My back muscles and abdomen muscles get tired by the end of the day. It's hard for me to get comfortable then and I usually end up laying in bed.
I've been having symptoms of carpel tunnel in my right wrist which the chiropractor has been helping but the past few days, both hands fall asleep when I'm sleeping no matter what position I'm in. I don't have to be lying on them or anything. Both hands are also achey all day. Is this related to carpel tunnel? Anyone have any experience?

@MRSCORKER When I had tendonitis in my wrist, prior to actual diagnosis, I did some research and that's one of the major symptoms of carpel tunnel (numbness and/or tingling, especially in the thumb and index fingers). I think I remember you saying braces weren't helping, but have you tried sleeping in them? The stabilization at night really helped keep my tendonitis from worsening at night. Maybe it could help your wrists too?
@bnsmith85 I actually haven't tried wearing braces yet. It started as just an ache in my right wrist while sleeping but now that both hands are falling asleep and aching all the way up to my fingers, with added swelling too, I'll give it a shot!

@ibabyloveb87... I think we've all had that celebratory moment that you're having right now lol... Things you never thought you'd get excited about: extra pooping
You guys. I smell. I'm hot. I'm sweaty. My husband politely told me to change my deodorant since it "may have quit working". I just smell like BO constantly I feel and I change my underwear twice a day. Heeeeelp Meee.
Ive been kicking my ductless heat pump down to 61 deg at night or I wake up a sweaty mess. And I feel like I should shower twice a day. I also bought this expensive can of spray thermale water for to mist my face!
I feel like such an old lady... My back has started hurting when I sit in an uncomfortable chair. And last night I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible back pain, mostly between my shoulder blades. I was up forever and it still pinches when I move certain ways. Ugh, that hasn't happened since I got my snoogle, I thought that was the cure! Now I get to go sit in a car for 3 hours...
+1 hip pain +1 heartburn +1 swollen everywhere +1 peeing all the time
Ugh. At night when I roll over in feel huge pressure in my nether regions. I told DH I'm convinced my water is going to break when I'm rolling over one night. Good thing we have the mattress protector!
Ugh seriously. My commute is now about 45 minutes (two mini buses and a motorcycle taxi) and about half of it is on rough road and by the time I arrive at work I'm running to the toilet no matter how many times I pee before I leave the house.
+1 for constantly peeing...We brought extra TP to the house we rented for the week away. I went through 3.5 rolls in 7 days... And we weren't in the house most of the time. Whoops
My lower back has been hurting for the last few days. It's tax free weekend here so I spent literally 7 hours out school shopping yesterday, fighting the crowds and being all hot and sweaty all day. My feet still hurt and I've developed a new symptom. Third time mom and there's always something new. My vagina lips hurt. Lol Like they feel heavy or like there's a lot of pressure in them. What is that about?
@kelliott09 My best friend has told me that she feels the achey vag lips thing during her period. She said they hurt so bad that they throb. I'm not sure if she felt it while pregnant but my guess would be that it's hormonal/increased blood flow. I obviously have no clue though!

@MRSCORKER That's what makes sense but it's never happened before so I have no idea either. I read something scary recently about how common it is for giving birth to do awful damage to your lady bits. I'll spare the details but I now have an irrational fear that something is going to fall out. I'm crazy, I know.
every time I try to eat mcdonald I throw it all up after 2 bites.
Also, I'm afraid to bring up the Tdap vaccine to my SO's parents.. My SO cannot receive the vaccine due to chiari malformation and my DR. told me that as long as I got the vaccine my baby is protected and he doesn't need one. However, I would like my SO's parents to have the vaccine as well, just in case, but I have a feeling they're not going to be very fond of the idea.

Well. All of my limbs like to spontaneously fall asleep. Not all at once, but usually both arms at one time or both legs at one time and they do this several times a day. I could be standing, walking, sitting, you name it- it jus happens.

Yep, me too. So annoying. Last night, I was playing the piccolo solo in Stars and Stripes Forever and my fingers were asleep...
I asked my doctor today and she said it's round ligament pain. It's so bad in some woman that it brings them to their knees in pain and even trips to the ER. I hope this doesn't get that bad for any of us.
@Kc0825@sjo_thetwins@NoraAurora +1 for the sharp pains! But what has me nervous is it's been in the same spot all day! Not sharp enough to bring me to my knees or anything, but noticeable all day...I kind of thought RLP, but is it normal to be in just that one spot??

From what the doctor told me today, she described it like this the uterus is a hot air balloon and the ligaments are the ropes that hold the balloon in place. With our balloon expanding up our ropes are being pulled sometimes faster than we'd like them too. So yes it is common for it to be in the same spot. That means only the ligaments in that area are being pulled. The doctor suggested bringing my knee up to my chest To relax the ligament. Also she said if it gets bad or continues for more than a day to maybe call the doctor.
@LMNOBaby - there's such a wide range of aches and pains and things that are considered "normal" unfortunately. My babies like to hang out on the right side - I get kind of lopsided in 3rd tri. So their little feet are there all day, so my area is always a spot on the right, and I can usually feel some degree of pain/discomfort there all day.
That said, there are other types of pain that aren't normal - like gallbladder stuff that can occur commonly during pregnancy. If it's something that's really bugging you, don't be afraid to call your OB (as per usual).
I can't breathe, my vag hurts too and after sex it feels like I've ridden a jackhammer .. my lower back hurts so bad I can't walk. I also have this vein that protrudes in my lady parts and it freaks me out so I know it freaks my hubby out. I'm not looking forward to future swelling in my hoohah...
I'm stress ball today. Everything is causing me anxiety. I tried on a few possible outfits for my shower and hated all of them and freaked out about my weight, LO hasn't been very active yesterday or today so I'm worried about that, and of course, I chose today to go over our finances so now I'm stressing about money. I need to go back to bed and start over.

+1 on the stressing over EVERYTHING. The dog stuff has just been a catalyst for everything else I'm stressing over and making it so much worse. I really am needing Prozac back in my life. It keeps me so logical vs emotional.
