Yesterday I was soooo nauseous and sick. Took 2 diclegis last night and I feel way better this morning!
A little nervous about contractions today. Got sent home from work on Friday and they were all better because I basically stayed off my feet all weekend. But today I'm back at school and my students are doing labs so I will be on my feet a lot. FX I'll be fine!
I have been super uncomfortable sleeping. When I lay down at night it becomes a struggle to turn to my other side. I also have neck pain that won't quit which I think might be from the position I'm sleeping.
@Starfish113 Glad you're doing better today! FX that continues!
So, does anyone else feel like they've pulled a muscle in their groin area? Idk when or how I would have done that except trying to turn over in bed which is getting harder and harder...

I have felt that way for the last month and a half. I think it's just my life now.
I can't get comfortable at night because any way I lay down I feel like I can't breathe. Also eating everything in sight which is making my heartburn/reflux worse but I just can't stop.

I don't feel like I've pulled a muscle, but I've felt for weeks like I have a bruise right on the surface of the skin. Like the spot where my leg meets my pelvis is really tender to the touch. It's bad enough that I've looked (with a mirror, because I can't see down there anymore) to see if there's an actual bruise.
I am pretty much uncomfortable all of the time. I hoped this wouldn't start until next month. I have terrible heartburn which is caused by anything and everything. (nothing helps) I use the washroom constantly and have back pain, stomach pain, and my carpal tunnel is starting early. I can't eat more than a few bites without feeling sick and like my stomach is going to burst. I am hungry but I want nothing.
I am suffering from a sort of Pica like problem only with smells. I am strongly craving the smell of gasoline, magic markers-the old fashioned ones, and fresh asphault. (before it's flattened) Also, the smell of certain car part stores and building underground parking. The thought of gasoline or asphault makes my mouth water although I don't want to eat them, just inhale them forever. Of course I won't and I have already told the doctor. There is nothing I can do. I had a blood test to rule out any deficiency.
I am thankful these are my only complaints, I know so many women have it much worse.
+1 to being crazy for certain smells!!! I looove the smell of fresh asphalt and gasoline right now too, and also eucalyptus oil. I have literally been putting a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil on a towel over my face to just breath in at night and I can't get enough of it - and while I'm at work sometimes I think about how long until I can smell my eucalyptus! I dunno it's so so weird.
My emotions are all over the place today, and prego brain is hitting me hard. Food aversion similar to first tri is also back and seems to be sticking around.
I know what you mean @NiceyMeany. I get that too. It reminds me of chafing from my wetsuit when I go diving (not that that's a helpful comparison for anyone else!)
I have become the starving pregnant stereotype. You know the data crap... that says you only need like 300 calories extra a day... only the last 2 trimesters?
I should research strategies to maintain a hunger strike. Or get a straight jacket. Actually, I would find a way to eat without my arms. Maybe a muzzle.
Maybe TMI, but got a little nervous this morning with some intense discharge that looked like fertility mucus... I was very convinced it wasn't the mucus plug so I didn't call my doctor, but after doing research tonight, I think I'll be calling in the morning. I've been especially active and running around these past two weeks soooo hopefully I didn't push it too hard!
(PSA: I hate the word mucus so effing much... we may need to create a nickname for it)

Me too! Well hating that word! Put that right up there with panties, moist and crusty.
I always get worried if I have anything going on down there, makes me a wreck. I'd call just to ease your mind if anything else
Increase in BH contractions....achy back/legs...and now sometimes when baby girl kicks/punches it actually hurts and sometimes feels like she is digging an elbow into me.
I have a former friend who tried to co-opt "clam jam" to be the lady equivalent of "cock block." The rest of us were all
This week symptoms=dumbness. Good thing I have reached the IDGAFmester. -I drop it, I leave it. Even in public. Enjoy my loose change, world. -I need to remember to use the handicap stall in the bathroom at work. The seats in the regular stalls are really low and I'm scared I might rip the tp/tampon receptacle box off the wall trying to get up. -Oops, co-worker was not offering that caramel popcorn, she was merely saying how good it was. I owe Leslie a handful of caramel popcorn.

Ok, I feel compelled to say I sat in someone's potential clam jam yesterday in a public restroom. After finishing my business ( number 1) I stood up and saw blood with a mucous like consistency on the seat cover. So I thought it was my clam jam and got all panicky. I started wiping and saw no blood. After some further investigation there was someone else's bloody mess directly on the underside of the seat that seeped upwards to the area where my thigh was. While I was relieved my clam was still jammed, I was MORTIFIED I sat in someone's bloody....
@foxrosy, did you throw up? Because that is a totally appropriate reaction.
Ok, so if Clam Jam is the word, am I making up Snail Trail? Or was that just so 2009? I thought that was the word for all the third trimester goop.
Anyone else have their baby suddenly get super active and really strong? Mine will be awake for hours at a time and looks like he is trying to punch or kick his way out.

@Partyof6? yes on the baby getting super active and strong!! I'm FTM and have anterior placenta so I didn't feel anything until really recently. I def was a little jealous of everyone having all the kicks, but now (I'm week 27 going on 28) it is crazy with all the activity in there!
Me too with the constantly moving baby! I go maybe an hour or two a day without feeling her. And she's super active for hours on end. I thought they were supposed to sleep like 18 hours a day or something?!
My baby clearly likes her sleep because she will take hours long breaks but when she is active, her kicks are getting super strong! Half the time it physcially moves my stomach. Her favorite time to have a dance party is between 4-5:30 am
