Friday started getting really bad pain under the rib cage, let it go through out the day and then did some research on preeclampsia and it was a sign of it. So we went to the hospital, luckily everything was okay. I guess my uterus is pushing on all my insides causing inflammation which incase cases the pain. Who would have know??
Swollen ankles and feet like something fierce today. This happens rarely but when it does they are scary looking!!

These period like cramps hurt, right through into my bum. They never escalade to anything exciting just like lots of the other ladies. I know I'm not alone, but this morning they're especially annoying me especially cause he moves hard and pushes down so hard it just hurts.

Feeling just overall uncomfortable and achey. It is almost impossible to find a comfortable position that lasts very long.
Also been getting cramping on the right side of my abdomen randomly. Almost feels like a side stitch. Maybe these are Braxton Hicks? It always goes away after about an hour or so.
@Pupatella sounds more like RLP or some other type of cramp than BH to me. BH wouldn't be on one side only and don't feel generally feel sharp. It's more of a general tightening across the entire lower abdomen. I've had the same thing you're talking about as well, usually after physical activity. I assume I'm just overexerting those muscles.
My vagina feels like a giant bruise. I'm so tired but I dread going to bed at night because as soon as I lay down the intense heartburn starts and my Zantac is struggling to keep up. It's so hard to go to sleep because I'm uncomfortable and this baby feels like she's going to rip right out of my side when I'm laying down. Then I have to get up to pee at least once, maybe twice, before I ever fall asleep and by then my hips have started hurting.
+1 on the sore twat. This lightening crotch you ladies talk about, is it all the way inside or more around the labia? Cause mine is an achy burny throb feeling but only by the lips and hole.
Also I'm down to waking up only once or twice a night to pee which is AWESOME except I can't fall back to sleep. Before when it was every 2 hours I was asleep before my head hit the pillow but now it's taking me almost an hour to fall back. Honestly I'm not sure which one is worse
It hurts to walk more than 1/4 of a mile. Even slowly. I got my hair cut on Saturday and I decided to walk to the salon. It's .6 miles from my house. Halfway there I considered calling my husband to come pick me up and drive me the rest of the way.
+1 for aching ALL OVER. When I stand up to walk I feel like I've just gotten off a horse or something...I walk like Frankenstein.
Also, I want to just chop off my hands. They're so tight and swollen and pretty much numb at this point. They go completely numb while trying to sleep at night, which wakes me up, which makes me realize I have to pee AND then I can't fall back asleep. Only to shake some tingly feeling back into them...so I can wake up again in 2 hours and repeat. Not sure how I'm going to last 4 more weeks with essentially non-functioning hands.
+1 for walking as well. We walked around the mall the other night and I was so winded by the time we got back to the car and we didn't even have far to go.

My lovely heartburn upsets my ulcer on various nights, so I'm up with excruciating pain (can't sleep through it). Last night up at 2am, and now work is so foggy.

@kelliott09 I could have written this same exact thing word for word.
i also have never had issues with my c section scar but lately it's feeling like it's ripping- it's a weird sensation and it's prob just my belly growing but it feels cramps and like a rip/stretch all along that scar area.
+1 for numb and stupid hands @LMNOBaby. I slept terribly last night because they were so tingly and numb.
I also sometimes feel like this baby needs to double check a few times a day that there really is no other exit. It feels like she's checking every inch, just to be sure.
Is anyone else having awful RLP? My right side is killing me to the point where I have to lie down. Asking the doctor about it at my appointment this morning.

Today hits my 38 week mark, I've been having intermittent periods of wicked contractions since yesterday. Now that I'm home, I think I'm going to super woman all of my obligations today, then go do some cartwheels or something to get this ball a- rollin'.
I had BH again yesterday for a couple hours, between 5-8 minutes apart. I'm just so frustrated that BH don't mean anything as far as getting real labor going! So I'm just uncomfortable and annoyed for no reason.
@lmnoBaby my hands/arms are like that too! It's making me crazy.

So anyone having their hormones like pretty disturbed.... I've constantly dreaming about my exboyfriend, and I think is because I saw him at a restaurant like a week ago....
@MorganL925 I'm having the same thing, baby moved around like crazy for a good hour + yesterday them was calmer the rest of the day and then today she's been pretty calm too, still moving/stretching but quiet compared to yesterday morning. Freaks me out too but probably just running out of room and tired.
@kmolleltz It's the worst!! Talk about a symptom that never crossed my mind before I got pregnant... The thought of going another month like this almost makes me want to cry. I have found that icing them helps temporarily...I literally sometimes hold ice cubes in baggies in my hands to relieve some of the pressure awhile. If I find any other relief I'll let you know!!
My little guy has been so active and it hurts SO BAD. I don't mind because I love that he's moving, but OUCH!! He's getting so cramped, poor little thing. I don't know how I'm doing this for 5 more weeks if he decides to wait that long.
