    I've been getting bad RLP on the left side after walking any medium to long distance. We went to a college football game on Saturday and did a lot of walking. I was pretty much laid up on the couch with a heating pad for most of the day on Sunday because of the pain.

    Horrible low back/hip pain, which I think is actually the back side of my pelvis (apparently Posterior Pelvic Pain is a pretty common issue with pregnancy). It feels like it's going to fall apart. I have an appt with a chiropractor tomorrow, so hopefully she can help me!

    I'm on the back pain train too. I can only sleep 4 hours at a time without having to get up and stretch for a solid 20 minutes.  I have a body pillow but it doesn't really seem to cut it anymore.

    My ribs are starting to hurt and RLP coming and going. 
    My tastes buds are crap. I wish I could eat everything in sight since I have a reason to but nothing agrees with me or sounds appetizing. 
    Numbness and tingling of my arm is still there.

    The fire breathing preggo heart burn is here full force! No matter what I eat or when I eat it's always awful for bedtime!

    Acid reflux and whatever is happening with my pelvis is making me want to die. 

    Also, is anyone else having an influx of skin issues, specifically moles and/or skin tags? I swear I get a new bunch every day! :/ 
    This happened last time but I think it's worse this time. I know there isn't anything wrong with it, but I don't like it at all.

    Yes to the moles/skin tags - especially on my breasts. I have a really dark/blackish one that's kind of freaking me out right now that I might have the doctor look at. Like you, I remember this happening with DS, but not to this degree.

    I had a skin tag issue last pregnancy, nothing yet this time. Last time I got one new freckle on my belly that I lovingly call my CJ freckle. I'm actually kind of hoping to get one this time too so I can have a souvenir for this go round lol.

    I haven't been getting heart burn as much as I have this weird painless uprising of fluid lol. There's just not enough room for the oceans of water I've been drinking haha.

    I've had a sinus infection for 2 weeks now, and figured I'd wait until I saw my OB today and she could give me something safe to take. But between my allergies to the two major antibiotics and the other antibiotics used for sinus are not safe during pregnancy - she said I just have to wait it out  :s Gahh this sinus headache is killing me! 

    @howdthathappen yes I developed mole-like things during my last pregnancy (hasn't happened yet with this one, or at least I haven't noticed anything new). I asked my dermatologist about it since I happened to have an appointment when I was 8 months pregnant last time, and he said it was completely normal. Had a name for them but I forgot what that is.

    My heartburn's eased off but I definitely just had my first Braxton Hicks that I noticed so THAT was an experience. Wow. Took me a minute to realize what it was...

    I have been breaking out on my face like crazy.  It's terrible.  I never really had any issues with acne until now.  Hello hormones!!!  It's terrible. My Client even ask me about it.  How embarrassing.........

    Make sure it's a Webster certified chiropractor. I am the office manager for a chiropractor and while all chiropractors can adjust. Webster chiropractors specialize in prenatal and can help in more ways then a regular chiropractor.

    @Hopietaylor91 thanks! I did specifically search out a Webster certified chiro, rather than going to my old one who isn't. I had to see a chiro toward the end of my last pregnancy for an SI joint problem that left me barely able to walk and she was like a miracle worker! I lived in a different state then, though.

    So tired. I keep falling asleep at 8:30. I'm getting like 10 hours of sleep a night and I'm still exhausted. I'm also achy all in the pelvis and back region. I've gained like 3 lbs this week, so I'm guessing that lo is growing!

    This is me, I'm in bed and a sleep way before 9p. Only difference is that around 4-4:30am I'm wide awake can't go back to sleep but then around 9am I'm exhausted and yawning and need to make myself busy at work to avoid falling asleep.

    I am also super sleepy. I try to stay awake to spend a little time with DH but it's not happening. Everything I read says "you probably have a lot of energy right now." Nope! Having a toddler exacerbates the lack of energy.

    I can barely stay awake past 9 pm every night....but going to bed earlier makes me get up earlier for work and then I can get out and enjoy the day light more! :) Have to look at the positives....

    I was asleep by 8pm last night, but it totally backfired! Woke up at 2:30am and have been up ever since. I might have to sneak home for a nap at some point, otherwise I don't think I'll make it!

    my back is done. DS still isn't feeling well and is inconsolable unless I stand and hold him. Sitting is not acceptable (it's hard to reason with a 15 month old) Obviously I can't hold him all day but I have been holding him a considerable amount more than normal and boy am I paying for it.

    I feel you! My DS just turned 2, and weighs almost 35 pounds. Even if I keep the picking him up to a minimum (out of the crib, in and out of the car seat, etc) it is WAY hard on my back!

    Ohhhh it sounds DIVINE! Sadly I am too tall to be able to effectively relax in our normal-sized bathtub. My feet are also feeling like they're encased in concrete right now? Achy and heavy. It is FAR TOO EARLY for all this crap!

    I have those days with my 21 month old. I have to accept that sometimes I will have to put him down and comfort him while he is upset because I've got to take care of myself. I think a 15 month old might respond well to the kinds of things I say to my son:
    "I hear you are so upset. You want up! Mama cant pick you up. How sad." I just name his feelings and be with him while he feels them. Sometimes he escalates and I relent, but more often after being heard and getting his feelings out he wants to cuddle and can listen to choices. I never actually try to give him choices or explain when hes crying. He can't listen then. I usually have to wait for the storm of crying to pass and then i can offer options. 

    @MahiMama the car seat is the worst. I think I'm going to have to turn him around after Christmas (at 22 months, more early than I'd like) just because I physically struggle to lift 26 pounds to minivan height. I can't imagine what over 30 pounds would do to my lower back!!!

    I too do not fit very well in our normal sized bathtub... haha. But it's still relaxing and so needed.  Also have a 15mo old clingy, sleep depriving, molars breaking in kiddo who makes the days long and the back sore!  29lbs... it's a good thing I haven't been given any lifting restrictions ;). I pulled out my wrap and did a semi successful hip carry while I got dinner ready last night which seems to be as good as a mommy snuggle to DD. I know it's hard with the bump--but there are definitely wrap carries and carriers that work with bumps!

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one exhausted and lethargic! I was starting to think there was something wrong with me because everything says that I should have tons of energy. And I did...until I didn't. Thanks for making me feel normal guys! 

    And ditto the 'rotting meat' gas!
