I have a rant for a min This combination of a cold, morning sickness and acid reflux is absolutely killing me. I feel horrendous 24/7 making it so difficult to function let alone go to work every day. It's a vicious cycle of not wanting to eat/drink because of the cold which kicks off my morning sickness, and then every time I lay down I get terrible acid which makes my sore throat and nausea so much worse. Not to mention I can't breathe because of the congestion on top of this baby taking up all the lung space. My kid might also be born addicted to robitussin. Please cold just go away.
Not always night sweats but I just get "the sweats" randomly even when it's not particularly hot. Like make my clothes damp sweat. It's weird and uncomfortable.
Anyone else feel muscle pulls in the most random of places?
I feel like I pulled a muscle in my left crotch area. It's been there as a dull ache for about a month now. When I asked my doctor about it, she said that because of relaxin it's so much easier to pull muscles... Then she showed me a picture like this to show me which muscle I must have pulled.
I feel so lame. How does one even pull that muscle?
@annabenanna But for real, I've got all the pulls. I pulled a top ab a while back, and it's not going to heal I don't think until after birth. Then every time I get off the couch one thing or another gets pulled into oblivion. Hurts so bad
@sportiegrl1213 So glad to hear it was simple dehydration! It's amazing how fast that can wreak havoc on our bodies, especially when pregnant. Some days when I'm peeing every 20 minutes I wonder if I shouldn't take a break and slow down on the water, but I'll take your experience as a sign to drink all the water all the time!
@klv Oh noooooo! I hope you found something you can take or put on it that gives you some relief!
@LGW2015 Having a cold SUCKS when pregnant. I had a wicked one at like 10 weeks, with a fever and everything. Breathe Right strips were my best friend at night, so maybe that might help a little bit when you lay down? I hope it passes for you soon!
The insomnia is killing me. It's turning me into this moody, irritable, I-hate-everyone kind of person and I don't like it. Ugh. I need to get some sleep!

How are we pulling everything???? This relaxin is a beyotch.
I am SO cranky today! I woke up knowing I was going to bite someone's head off...and I did My husband's step mom wants me to call her about every little thing and I snapped on the phone today. I immediately felt terrible and luckily was able to take a nap to reset a little bit. I'm going to call again in a little while.
Yesterday I had 4 meals: breakfast, 2 heavy lunches and an equally heavy dinner. Today, it's only 2:30PM and I've already eaten 3 meals. Holy growth spurt! Last week, I could barely eat because I felt stuffed all the time. If this is what third tri appetite is going to be like, I'm gonna need to figure out what to do about these crazy calories I am putting away.
Anyone else experiencing eczema during pregnancy? I used to have it pretty bad as a child, but haven't really dealt with it much since. Lately it's been sprouting up a little, and then after a weekend in the pool and in the sun, it got so bad on one of my arms. It's warm and itching like crazy and it looks awful. So far I've just been putting cold compresses on it. Anyone find anything else helpful?
Well, the short hiatus my sex drive went on came back. FI was exhausted last night, so I just got handsy then took advantage of him. Slept like a rock until about 4a.m. then was wide awake until after 7. Then fell asleep again for about 2 hours and had the weirdest dreams ever. Then woke up drenched in sweat even though I didn't really feel that hot. Being pregnant is so weird sometimes.
+1 for insane leg cramp last night. Woke me up out of no were. Left me somewhat concerned because as I'm screwing owe DH just rolled over and spooned me more. May need to talk about being ready to jump into action if I start screaming in pain again. . . FTM and FTD
Does anyone feel a little bit of pain sometimes when the baby moves a certain way? It feels slightly like RLP but not as intense. Kind of a pulling in the same area though and I can feel him moving when I feel it.

@Blonde1817 I've dealt with eczema my whole life, and babies make it 1000x worse. My OB has given me Rx steroid cream for it, but plain OTC hydrocortisone is safe.
@MRSCORKER RLP changes as baby grows. Mine used to be sharp pains in 1st & 2nd tri, and it's more of a burning feeling now- especially when I've woken up from a funny position.
DYING. I woke up like a million times last night with the worst hip pain I've felt yet. On both sides. I could barely stand up to go to the bathroom. Miserable.
+1 for random pains. Period-like cramping is back with a vengeance. This is in addition to BH, RLP and pubis symphysis pain. I feel like an achey old lady. At least my back is only slightly sore?
@bnsmith85 I chugged some cranberry juice while we were still at the hospital after the tour of the birthing unit. Didn't quite get to 10, but I got close after feeling nothing all day, so we went home and had dinner. I ate and then put my feet up. Nada. Laid down on my side. Nada. It's been more than 2 hours with nothing so DH is taking me back to the hospital....
@bnsmith85@Sprinkels28 Thanks ladies. I'm hooked up now. Right away she said everything was looking good. I think I've got another 5-10 minutes of monitoring and if everything still looks good, I'll go home. Brat probably just decided to sleep all day. Lol. I'm so over being pregnant.
I spoke *a little* too soon. He did have one dip in heartrate while being monitored. She said it can be normal but between that and the decreased movement I'm getting an ultrasound. She said it's just a precaution tho. So I'll be here for awhile, but everythings fine.
@ibabyloveb87 He was stubborn but we got what we needed. She was trying to get certain movements and he did not want to do it. So of course when she went to measure fluid and blood flow, things he needs to be still for, he started spazzing out. Lol. So he's looking good. Another case of frazzled nerves for no reason, but better safe than sorry.
As for a new symptom.... My right wrist is killing me from the inside of my right wrist up my arm and causing numbness. It's been going on for a few days now but sheesh it's really hurting tonight.

@sportiegrl1213 You're numb from the wrist up? I haven't heard that before. I go numb from the wrist down a lot. Stupid carpal tunnel. I wonder what's causing that? I hope you get some relief!
Oh sorry just my hand was numb @krzyriver. I'm thinking carpal tunnel too.

plus, I've been crazy tired today for some reason. This better not be the start of a new trend
@ashleyp625 Apparently he is. Brat. Lol.
About an hour for official results and then we'll be able to go home. Thanks ladies! Your comments and well wishes always keep me sane when I'm here.

Waking up with new hemorrhoids when you haven't even pooped in a few days is very disheartening...
