Re: Weekly Symptoms Thread 8/22

  • belly button and south is giving me some not nice feelings 
  • Loading the player...
  • My right hand keeps falling asleep while I sleep! I'm not even sleeping ON it. It's so weird. Never happened to me before. I'm also getting weird hip spasms on my right hip. I think baby may be sitting on a nerve. 

  • My belly near my belly button is really tender this morning. Not sure what could be causing it...I'm sure it's "stretching" as my OB would say.

    @AllyTheKid - keep us posted on your visit.

  • Nipples are super soar I ordered my breast cream yesterday may start it early. 

    On another note not really a symptom but I thik this baby is still full breach. When you feel the hiccups is it usually the exact location of its head? I feel mine under my right rib cage or in the center never below the belt. I'm concerned!
  • @mrszoess my husband calls the belly button the meat timer when it pops the meat is done. He's kin of a jack butt but my timer is almost popped and it's driving me mad I put extra mosturizer on it lol
  • So much pressure on my nether regions, especially when I go to the bathroom (even when I'm just peeing).  During my ultrasound on Thursday, the tech said the little guy's head was right on my cervix, so that's probably what's causing it.
  • Mintz1982 I am 33+4 and baby is still breech as well. When she hiccups, I feel it the same spot as you. I can always feel her head on my right side at the very top of my bump. I am concerned too, but my OB does not seem to be. Which is all fine for her, she says baby has until 36 weeks then I go for an ultrasound to confirm the position. But I know nurses that work with my Dr and they say she loves to give c-sections and will not try to turn baby or wait for her to turn. So I hope she flips cause I don't want a c-section. I am also concerned becasue I was reading at this time they find a spot they like and they may just stay. And my Dr says baby is over 5lbs already, so I am thinking she must be running out of room in there to flip. Ha. 

    My symptoms ... just tired and sore in general. I am off work already and take two naps a day in addition to the eight hours I get a night. Tiring growing a baby. :)
  • @littlewillie2016 I have GD so my baby could get very big he or she was 4 days ahead at 18 week ultrasound I just want my own dr to feel his or her position. DH plans on ripping him a new one tomorrow if he does not check especially since I have to be induced in 6 weeks.
  • My LO just did a crazy turn and now it feels like he has his foot in my right ribs! OUCHY!

  • same here @kmolleltz... I'm hoping the MS was just a fluke and won't be a recurring issue.
  • Today, I am starving. I have had my morning shake (chocolate protein in almond milk on my way to work; I'm never hungry early in the morning, so this has been a pretty successful compromise), then I finished off a bag of Salt and Vinegar chips at 9:30, then a Rice a Roni single serve at 10:30. Still hungry. Usually my chocolate milk lasts until about 10, then a small snack, and then lunch. Not today. I'm eating everything in sight. I'm about to have a granola bar even though lunch is only 45 minutes away.

  • I think I have carpal tunnel in my hands which is PIA! I can't keep them in one position too long without them going numb and tingly.  Doesn't help they're swollen too!  I can't even open a bottle of Gatorade because it hurts or I can't get a grip so hubby has to do it.

  • @LauraPCOS I have it too in right wrist. Hurts like a bitch! I wrap it at night which does help some.

  • My finger joints are sore, it's weird.  And I'm starving! 
  • Tired, oh so very tired all the time............

  • So tired. I feel bad for SO. I just pass out. He is used to daily affection, lol.. oops.

  • +1 for the uncomfortable baby. This baby is transverse and will likely stay that way. So I have a foot hitting me in my left ovary area- it literally feels like toes twinkling sometimes and a head up in my rib cage on the right side which occasionally moves over to the middle of my chest oh and the hands- those feel like they are playing music on my rib cage. So heartburn, constipation and a general uncomfortableness is what I am feeling.
  • @LauraPCOS I have it too in right wrist. Hurts like a bitch! I wrap it at night which does help some. 
    Doesn't help I'm a sign language interpreter so I'm sure there was repetitive strain injuries there prior to pregnancy, I just ignored them.  I don't know what I would do if I was expected to work another 6 weeks.

  • The random swelling that started in my hands over the weekend. Hasn't been a (noticeable) issue until now. Now it comes and goes all day seemingly for no reason.
  • this little girl is crowding my stomach and lungs so its hard to breath and I'm nauseas all the time. not helping the fact that I'm starving all the time too but I can only fit so much in or she decides that she doesn't want to share the room.

  • Tmi, but it is getting sooo hard to wipe myself after using the bathroom. I feel like an Olympian athlete with all the heavy breathing that occurs after. 
    I went back to work today, and I severely underestimated how much food I needed to pack. I guess I didn't realize how much I've been grazing at home for the summer! 
  • Insomnia. Nausea. Reflux. Stinky farts. Whichever side I lay on, that arm falls asleep. Either Braxton Hicks or the baby is pushing her whole back against my front and making it seem hard.

    At least the hiccups I've felt were pretty low, so yay, she's probably head down?


  • @LauraPCOS you are Canadian you are aloud to take up to 16 weeks sick leave before you even start your mat leave. If it gets to bad you just get the Dr to fill out a form saying your unable to continue and you get some extra time to chill before the baby. I did it with my daughter because she was falsely diagnosed with spina Bifida and I was working I job that I bumped myself a lot they were concerned Id injure her more at work. So I literally got to sit on my ass and get fat for 16 weeks.
  • TMI ALERT but I know you guys can handle it! 

    When baby has the hiccups I can literally feel them in my vagina. Like nowhere else really. (Granted I have had 2 c sections and have almost no feeling below my belly button and public bone) but does anyone feel hiccups like this? 
    They said he has started dropping down at my last appointment Friday but this seems like way too low. 
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • @Schell2013 My baby had the hiccups this morning and they lined up right with my hip bones. Maybe your baby has violent hiccups haha.

    I have started getting restless legs while I sit at work. Luckily as a nurse, I don't sit too much. I would be in trouble if I had an office job. Or get a yoga ball!
  • does anyone else randomly wake up shivering and freezing in the middle of the night? last night was the third time I've woken up to pee and been shaking 
  • I'm sorry @AllyTheKid... Whine all you want! You know we're here for ya and you're definitely not alone :)
  • @bnsmith85 You're such a doll <3
  • @Schell2013 I feel the hiccups in my vagina and butt too. 

    @mrszoess I wake up the opposite, dripping in sweat. No Bueno, I'd rather be cold. 

    My newest symptom is weight gain. I've steadily put on a good amount of weight throughout the pregnancy but this is sudden. I gained 7lb in two weeks and since then, I've gained 3lb more in 5 days. I was thinking pre-e at first but my BP is always low, like 118/58 low, every single time and I never have protein in my urine or any of the other symptoms really. I passed my GD test so I don't think it's that. I know I'm carrying two monster sized babies but it still worries me. 
  • Cant get enough to eat, feet starting to swell and I'm also on board with my arm falling asleep depending on the side I'm sleeping on! 
  • I've been peeing frequently basically all pregnancy but last night was something else. I literally got up 7 times withing one hour to pee! I'm sure it has something to do with me drinking a lot of water at supper because I was so hungry but WOW. I thought I would never get to sleep.

    Plus, the baby seems to have the hiccups like 50 times a day.

  • Both my eczema and allergies came back in full force. Since about 8 weeks pregnant they've both been gone. The worst is the itching in my ears from my allergies! It drives me nuts!

    Woke up super swollen on my left side. As of last Friday's appt, A was breech and B was head down. I really don't want a c-section so I'm hoping A is head down tomorrow.

    The pressure down south is real. I feel like a baby is going to fall out.


    @nlane0723 I know a woman that had twins and B was breech and once A was born, B flipped. Has your doctor mentioned that as a possibility? Or do both babies have to be head down for you to try to deliver vaginally?

    @schell2013 if it makes you feel any better I feel kicks in my butt- like I literally feel like a foot is going to come out of my butt.

  • A has to be head down if I want to deliver vaginally. B can be breech. I'll find out this afternoon if A is head down again. @serenaxo84
