I am currently winded from walking across the office so this one rings true for me this week.

How's everyone feeling today?

Severe nerve pain in my back with sciatica. Some weird pain popped up in the right side of my stomach...thought it could be my appendix, but the pain isn't severe enough. Still dealing with horrible swelling in my right hand (carpal tunnel)...other than that I'm fine lol

Lower back pain has started to set in. I hope it comes and goes, not sticks around for the next 13+ weeks!

desoky01 · August 2016

Still having awful right side rib pain and right side back pain. I'm also now feeling like I can never get enough breath. The chronic rib and back pain is pretty awful, I sometimes worry about how much time is left and how much bigger baby is going to get.

I'm experiencing the same, but on the left side for me. I've been using a lacrosse ball and laying on it or putting it behind me while sitting at my desk chair. Temporarily relieves the pressure. My other go to is just laying on the floor.

12 weeks to go!

@desoky01 listen to your body. I had pain in my right side near my ribs and radiating into my back so bad I couldn't sleep anymore or move without a lot of pain. I was suggested a hot water bottle which helped a bit but the weight hurt me.. Turns out it was my appendix. By the time I got to the hospital it had started to leak.
jf muscle hot water bottle will help (and it feels nice!) but listen to yourself and go to ER if it gets too bad. Appendix presents differently in pregnant women.

I'm right there with you @jenesiso - sciatica sucks. Trying out massage this week for the first time to see if it helps.

Baby boy is starting to really love to kick me in the ribs and get all up in there in general. Just walking to the bathroom can leave me winded sometimes. I have been gently nudging on either his back or his butt so he'll move himself out of the really uncomfortable places.

Saturday night, right as hubby and I were drifting off, sweet pea gave me a swift kick or punch in the cervix. The pain. I hadn't experienced any sharp shooting lightning crotch-y pain since I was about 14 weeks until that happened.

My hips still hurt, but the shooting down the leg sciatic pain has subsided (for now).

My stretch marks are multiplying by the day, I swear.

Muscatmommyof4 · August 2016

This week just a little acid reflux, being extremely tired (having to take a nap during the day), Braxton Hicks contractions, irritated stomach/bowl. But he's moving more so that's exciting!

lajoliedreamer · August 2016

If I bend over to get something out of a drawer, pick something up, etc, I throw up a little into the back of my throat/mouth. Especially happens if I recently had some water. So gross.

Also still dealing with leg cramps at night.

jenesiso · August 2016

I'm beginning to think 2-3am is my witching hour. I'm always up to pee, and last night, I got a nice shocking pain to my right kidney, for some reason. Then baby girl wouldn't settle down, and gave me a few Tyson kicks to the cervix. I haven't slept through an entire night in the last 5 months. :P

MrsMaryK2016 · August 2016

I'm so tired this week. By 2pm every day I'm ready to fall asleep on my keyboard.

I've also got a new symptom I haven't seen anyone mention: extremely dry, chapped skin and lips. My hands look like I live in Minnesota in February, peeling and dry. It's pretty gross.

And overall I'm just uncomfortable. It's hard to get up, sit down, roll over, get in and out of the car, empty the dishwasher, etc. If I'm this uncomfortable at 27 weeks I can't imagine how fun 34 and up is going to be. Those of you having twins, kudos to you girl! I don't know how you're doing it and still smiling!

My pubic bones must be separating- it feels like I've been riding a bike for days and just got off. That's probably the worst of it for me right now.

@lajoliedreamer- I also am getting a little throw up in the back of my mouth/throat, but it comes when I'm sleeping and wakes me up. So disgusting.

desoky01 · August 2016

@lajoliedreamer samesies on the upchucking in the mouth when bending over. Icky.

MrsMaryK2016 · August 2016

Yep @desoky01 and @lajoliedreamer I'm also experiencing this lovely symptom. Had to sleep sitting up last night because it kept happening while I was asleep and waking me up.

jsmai · August 2016

My breasts are starting to leak a little in the middle of the night. Whaaat? I wasn't expecting anything like this so early. Ditto on the upchuck reflex when attempting to bend over. Eww

jenesiso · August 2016

Another addition to my symptoms is that I have incredible rib pain on my left side under my breast. I had a coughing fit 2 months ago and I must've pulled or sprained something, because it has never gotten any better. Any time I cough or dry heave or sneeze, it hurts so bad. Tylenol does nothing for it. It's making me miserable.

This is why I have my 3 year old pick up absolutely everything I can possibly have her pick up! I shower her with "thank you so much" and "you are the best girl!" And she's happy as can be to oblige her refluxy mama

I'm sitting here in bed playing on my phone because I can't sleep and randomly get a nose bleed. I didn't even like scratch my nose or sniffle or anything. Just started bleeding. WTAF body?!?
