@ibabyloveb87 I'm with you on the discharge. It definitely freaks me out. I want to run to L&D every time it happens. Lol. But they say if you're truly leaking, lay down for a half hour. If a rush comes out when you stand, you're leaking. That hasn't happened to me, so I assume I'm safe. Hopefully you too. Let us know what the doc says tho!
My biggest complaint these days is groin pain. Started a few days ago. Constant, aching pain. Sometimes it feels like im being ripped open. DH is convinced I'm dilating. But I was sealed up tight when I was checked a week and a half ago. Lol
+1 for random stabbing/ pinching vag pain while walking
And +1 for aching groin pain. I've had that on and off for the past few weeks, especially first thing in the morning. I think it's just the bones loosening up down there cause my pelvic bones now crack, ick!
I feel hungry. All. The. Time. I could probably eat all day and still feel hungry.
I had my first contraction the other day (or at least the first one I noticed) and it caught me off guard. Plus, I was around DH and my mom and they both started freaking out but all is fine. It was literally just one.
@RainMira9e Thanks! I've never tried the massager, I think that'll be next on my list. Tylenol does nothing for me either, I've always had luck with heat + valium but I know that's not in the cards =/
Pretty sure I'm not leaking since didn't have much of anything overnight (and I was up a lot trying to get comfortable). Doctor isn't concerned and the appointment went well.
Now to take a very long nap!

+1 for carpal tunnel getting progressively worse. My hands and wrists are so stiff in the morning. I vacuumed the other day and suffered with a sore arm for a good 3 days. I'm not sure how long it takes to go away but I think it's supposed to go away shortly after birth. I heard it's from the relaxin hormone.
I've seriously have had diarrhea almost every single day this week. so gross. +1 for carpal tunnel getting worse, It's getting to the point where sometimes i can't even make a fist so somedays when I have to open the door to get out to work in the morning i literally have to use my arms to turn the knobs. I've been getting period like cramping in my lower quadrants and pelvic area and I assume they're contractions they don't last long enough for me to worry about them but just enough to make me uncomfortable. Also, Kinzley must be sitting really low today or something because every time I walk i get pelvic pain or try to sit down.

I'm with you all on the hunger, and no sleep. (And if I hear another person tell me to "it's prep for not sleeping for the next year of your life", I'm gonna stab their eye out).
I think baby has dropped because the upper back pain that used to fill my days, has subsided. I now have lower back pain when I overdo it.
Also, vag kicks when the baby moves. And also, It feels like every time I get up and walk, my vagina feels like it's going to burst open with a baby.
What else? Weird numbing/tingling/pins and needles on one side of my belly (upper right side), which I'm gonna ask my doc about later.
@NicholeL16, i was freaking out the other day about it because i feel it quite constantly (in certain positions) then when I move, it goes away. I googled it and most people said it was a result of baby pinching a nerve---but I figured I'd ask today at my check-up just to be sure!
@bnsmith85, you know what's crazy? I'll take the vag pressure and the lower back pain any day over my upper back pain. That was the worst for me, I couldn't get comfortable at all! Have you tried getting a prenatal massage?
@annabenanna I think I'm a picky massage recipient bc I haven't loved any of my prenatal massages. Having DH rub the specific spot that hurts has been the best so far. Only 6 ish more weeks!
@bnsmith85, the first time I got a prenatal massage, it totally sucked balls. It was at the Hard Rock Spa and I thought all prenatal massages were that way... (it felt like she was just rubbing lotion on me, and none of the hard pressure I needed for relief). Then I got one in Santa Barbara while I was at that girl's trip and loved it. So I figured I might get lucky again if i found one here.... the last massage I got was awesome... he put so much pressure on my back, (that I actually have a bruise, lol, but not complaining!)

Ugh, I hate that comment. I don't need "prep" for not sleeping- just throw me into it!
+1 on the no sleep comment. It's a totally different kind of no sleep too. You're hopped up on adrenaline and you're awake for a purpose. Not just because you have pregnancy insomnia!
Son of a bitch I caught a frikken chest cold, most likely from the hospital when I was there last week for my growth US. Safe to say I'm not a happy camper! And because sleep is so difficult without being sick, this is going to suck even more!
@LauraPCOS We all came back to work today, and guess what, my coworker comes in SUPER SICK. I get so pissed because our office is really really small. When one person comes in sick, it starts an epidemic every damn time. I want to lock him out of the office when he goes to lunch.
@SpaceBurger oh I know how you feel! I work at a school (on leave now though) and when one person came in sick, student or staff, we all got sick because there were 14 of us working in a small half classroom. I'm surprised this is only the second time I'm sick considering I usually have a horrible immune system, but I'm chalking it up to the hospital appointment mixed with lack of sleep.
Ugh feel better @LauraPCOS. That seriously sucks. I was miserable for 2 weeks the last time I caught a cold. I woke up with a cold sore yesterday so I'm feeling super worn out and sick blah. We need to get better so we're in tip top shape for labor.
My symptom is a lack of symptom...still no boob leakage here! And I'm pretty sure they've hardly grown at all. They're certainly closer to my face now because baby is pushing up on my ribcage, but I hope this doesn't bode poorly for my BF skills...
I saw my shadow today & audibly said, "Holy crap, are those my boobs?!" to no one but myself. I've noticed them getting bigger but it's been more of a subtle change (or so I thought). I also ran them into a doorframe less than 2 hours later when I apparently misjudged their size/my distance.
I'm just miserable. Absolutely miserable, ando tonight has taken the cake. FI and I made the mistake of getting it on tonight (because let's be honest, who knows when that'll happen again), now my cervix feels like it's being electrocuted. My legs are cramping. My body aches, I can't get comfortable or fall asleep no matter what I do, AND my right nipple is leaking. I whined about this in the "Why my pregnant self is crying" thread, but I'm whining again here damn it!
@AllyTheKid ugh I feel you ! I did that last night and went to get on top and he saidno let me do this ... today I asked if it was because I was too heavy or if he was cold ... he said no it was because he knew it wasn't going to work (my big ol bump in his face lol) .. whatever but afterword I felt like split open lol. Legs hurt, back is killing me all day ... Other symptoms, super tired in the day and can't sleep at night, crabby and OCD on overdrive ... I leak all the time from down below and my boobs started today ... I feel huge and uncomfortable and I need a bigger bed.
+1 for practicing not sleeping is bullshit. Pretty sure it is 0% helpful to be tired going into a different type of sleep deprivation experience. That and when people say to sleep now while I can....ok yea whatever thanks for reminding me I'm going to be tired for years, I'll try it, but you can't really save up sleep...otherwise I'd still be energized from all the sleeping I did in college!
I think I did WAY too much last night... Our changing table arrived and we put all that together, which was a total bitch and we put together the swing. I think I bent down too much because I ended up with bad cramping, back ache, shooting pain in my wrist from my carpal tunnel and stomach ache. I had to take Tylonal because the pain everywhere was that bad. Sleep totally sucked and I'm exhausted today. Which is nothing new at this point.
On a brighter note, the nursery is pretty much done! Final touches tonight!

Lol @PCOSbaby I've never had that experience, but I am so over these pregnancy farts. {also TMI} I had to leave TWO rooms this a.m. after I passed gas and couldn't take the smell
@uponastar16 I am actually going for a cortisone shot this Friday, my OB approved it. My right hand is pretty much swollen, numb, and in pain all day. In the mornings I cant make a fist with either hand.
+1 for the leaky boobs - TMI but I actually have a mark on the sheets where my boob leaks at night, and I've woken up with it dripping down my arm (I cuddle myself when I sleep).
+1 on the no sleep! For ladies with hip pain, what position are you finding comfortable enough to sleep in?? If I lay on the side hurting, it hurts more, but if I lay on the other side, I have this "pulling" sensation in my achy hip that hurts more, and if I lay on my back, I choke. I eventually went out to the recliner but that only lasted an hour. I could break down in tears any moment because I'm so tired, and sick on top of it. Hubby wants me to go to the hospital but I have no bleeding or leaking and irregular cramping so I don't think they will do much.
@SoInLoveCJ2011 same here on the swollen hands but extreme pain instead of numb and I can't fully open them.

+1 for pelvic pressure, over the weekend I cleaned the garage and probably over did it, but I seriously could barely walk afterwards.
Prayers for everyone hurting out there.....
