Symptoms - Week of 11/28

chrlyr · November 2016

How are you doing this week? Anything new to report? More of the same?

Alegris25 · November 2016

I peed when I sneezed this morning for the first time ever. Yay for reaching that milestone.

kap1988 · November 2016

I can feel myself starting to have to heave myself up from the bed/couch and I may be waddling ever so slightly

I'm not that big, but I've been having lower back and leg pain that make moving gracefully difficult.

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

DH and I had sex this morning (which is crazy bc we don't usually during pregnancy..) anyways I ended up on part of my belly more than I probably would have liked and now I feel like I pulled my side

Baby's still moving and all so I'm not really worried, just monitoring it. It's like RLP just a little higher and to the side. Preggo sex fail lol

Burrberrymum · November 2016

Newest symptom is having to pee really bad but when I go nothing comes out? ... Strangest feeling.

Also I think it may have to do with having an anterior placenta this time but this baby is just kicking what feels like my vag if it's not kicking my bladder. It's not the most pleasant feeling but I'll deal because baby kicks are baby kicks and either way they make me happy.

This week I also just feel BIG. I definitely feel the home stretch coming soon.

kjd291 · November 2016

Like @Burrberrymum said - starting to feel BIG! Looking pretty big too. Continued hip and back aches, and on and off heart burn.

Now needing to sit down and take a break if I'm on my feet go go go for hours on end -- if I don't then I start to get crampy (BH maybe but doesn't feel like a full contractions)

mrsyimster · November 2016

and does anyone feel super hot when they are sleeping??

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

@mrsyimster yes! It's killing poor DH bc our AC is still on full blast and I have the covers off at night.

CanadianintheSouth · November 2016

I can relate to almost everything above. I snissed this morning, pretty badly actually. My belly feels huge right now, and today I just can't seem to catch my breath. Slowing down before I thought I would need to slow down

kjd291 · November 2016

@mrsyimster YES. Our bedroom we keep around 62, normally in winter I'd have flannel sheets on with lots of covers and warm pjs. Now: as close to naked as possible, summer cotton sheets still on, and tossing blankets off myself all night. I am so tempted to turn the thermostat down even more-except I don't want to freeze my DD in her room next door

EnglishTeacherMama · November 2016

@Burrberrymum I had the same pee-pressure thing once two nights ago, but it isn't a regular occurrence, luckily.

I can feel baby move soooo much now! It's mostly amazing, but is starting to get uncomfortable, too (like giving me slightly queasy feelings). So far he hasn't aimed for the ribs... not looking forward to that experience.
It's silly, I know, but I feel like we're bonding already. Sometimes if he kicks and I very lightly press against his foot, he'll kick again. And I talk to my stomach all the time now--but try to keep it to when I'm alone or with DH, so I don't look too much like a crazy person, haha.

I think my days of sleeping through the night are officially over because I get up at least twice to pee or to throw off the covers due to how sweaty I suddenly get. My boobs are undergoing another growth spurt. The minor back pain I've had the last few weeks is increasing, but since my boobs and stomach are getting so much bigger so quickly, that's understandable.

Also, I'm starting to have trouble breathing at night--not sure if I'm fighting off a cold (very likely considering how many relatives were sick at Thanksgiving and how many students are sick in my classes) or starting to develop pregnancy rhinitis.

chrlyr · November 2016

I'm having horrific pain where my left inner thigh meets my pelvic/pubic area. I feel it mostly when I'm getting up from being seated, repositioning in bed or walking. Ugh. Not fun.

I'm just not hungry most of the time and I have to really force myself to eat at most meals, so that's weird.

shines721 · November 2016

Starting to feel big.. and I really can't handle how big my boobs are getting.. definitely don't remember this the first time around. Also.. my legs are slightly swollen so I can't wear my boots which is so annoying. That happened last pregnancy, too, and I just attributed it to gaining weight but then it drastically decreased after delivery. Oops.

Also... I just want to eat everything sweet and it's terrible!!!

MahiMama · November 2016

@Burrberrymum maybe try leaning your upper body forward when you pee? Sometimes I have to sit there for a couple minutes doing kegels and leaning forward, peeing a little bit at a time. For me, it's better than taking trips to the bathroom every 5 minutes!

Burrberrymum · November 2016

@MahiMama thanks I'll try that! It's quite the hike to the bathroom where I work so I'll try anything to not have to run up to the back of the building multiple times a shift!

Count me in on being a sweaty sleeper now! I wake up so hot I'm drenched. I never got too hot when sleeping pre pregnancy.

Oh that makes me feel better. I also cannnot put my boots on. I thought I was gaining a lot of weight in my calfs. I am going with swelling now, even if it's not true!

Minger86 · November 2016

I keep burping! This is EXTREMELY unusual for me. I never burp. Ever. They're just little ones... Usually after eating.... But damn, it's odd.

southpawjen · November 2016

@chrlyr I'm having those same pains. It feels like my pelvis is bruised or that my muscles are pulled. I can't quite put my finger on how to describe the pain. It's been going on for about a month now and I asked the doc and she was basically like "get used to it....it's probably not going anywhere for a while".

Other than that...just more frequent bathroom trips, less sound sleeping, and beginning to waddle when I walk.

It's neat to finally feel baby moving around the past week or two. Can't wait until my family can feel the kicks!

datalover13 · November 2016

I had some back type cramps last weekend after carrying around DS all night the night before. I took half a dose of Tylenol and it went away so hoping it was just nothing. More random aches and pains. Getting over a cold, I think? Lots of coughing at night and in the mornings.

wintersong · December 2016

@Burrberrymum Could you be developing a uti?

My symptoms are just not fun. My blood pressure has been low and I am feeling it. So tired and with occasional lightheadedness. I see my midwife Friday, But until then I'm just monitoring it at home. I'm usually sitting at about 120/70, but the last couple of days when I thought to check after these symptoms had been persisting for a few days it's been more like 100/68. I feel frustrated because I'm having difficulty doing my job to my personal standards (high school teacher).

kjd291 · December 2016

@Gators&BoSox I also had a preggo sex fail this morning ((hmmm, maybe this should become a thread once we're all closer to the end

haha )) instead of getting to finish enjoying our morning romp we were interrupted by my massive leg cramp.

Which means its not long till those middle of the night leg cramps hit (FTMs, be forewarned: super sucky symptom!!!

Gators&BoSox · December 2016

@kjd291 nooooo! lol I HATE the leg cramps. I got them so bad last time and nothing helped besides trying to catch them before they happened and stretching my foot upward. I know this is the face I make in the middle of the night lol

dubcompanion · December 2016

@kjd291 I've been having occasional early morning Charlie horses! Sooo not fun!

Only 25 weeks along, and baby girl has already given me a bruise underneath my boob from all the kicking! Okay, okay, it initially formed due to wearing a too-tight wired bra for too long (my own damn fault), but she's prevented it from healing. She is strong.

YESSSS. That's the exact face!! Same-so bad last time around. Poor DH being woken up from deep sleep by crazy preggo lady screaming bloody murder and flailing around to reach my calves.

dizzymom-2 · December 2016

I got my first charlie horse in the middle of the night a couple of days ago. I flew out of bed screaming like a ninja! I also have a little bit of swelling in my legs, which I didn't expect so soon.

Mccolpitts · December 2016

First, I feel like a walrus! Flirting with heartburn but no big deal as long as I stay upright. Definitely more of a stuffy nose too. Back pain has started up along with pain in my lower ribs (is that normal??). Some days I feel like a normal human and others I feel like a parade float! Lol

I felt quite a bit of discomfort in my ribs last go around as baby grew higher and crowded my rib space.

And @DizzyMom flying out of bed, screaming like a ninja, is a good way to describe it. Haha

Ahhhhhhhh lol

i had it a few weeks ago and almost a few more times after! I've been trying to eat 1-2 bananas a day

CanadianintheSouth · December 2016

@longliveregina me too! This low blood pressure thing is new to me, last time around I almost had to be induced for high bp. Checked it today because I've been super tired and getting blurry vision, 94/68 which I should really low for me. Going to talk to me doctor about it soon.

My rib pain was AWFUL for my first pregnancy. I've been feeling it lately too especially after eating a big meal.

babyspice · December 2016

I feel like my lungs are already being squeezed. it seems early but I run out of breath quickly now. I think I'm going to amp up my cardio a touch and see if that helps at all.

EALasagna45 · December 2016

Anyone dealing with carpal tunnel? If so, any tricks for relief? I bought a brace this morning to see how that will shake out

chrlyr · December 2016

@EALasagna45 I had it with DS. Thankfully, it has not popped up again yet with this one. Definitely wear your brace at night (that's when it was the worst for me - it may be different for you) and try not to lay on that arm/hand if you can. There's not much to do, unfortunately. Mine went away immediately after giving birth, so at least there's that.

serenity13 · December 2016

I'm on day 3 of having a cold and last night I woke up around 11 & had to throw up. It was so weird because I really haven't experienced morning sickness at all throughout this pregnancy & have never thrown up with a regular cold before. My stomach has felt fine otherwise over the last few days & today it's only my nose that's bothering me. I don't think throwing up was related to my cold but idk...I'm wondering if the combination of being pregnant and sick caused it? Other than that I've been feeling more tired the last few weeks like how I was in 1st tri.

EALasagna45 · December 2016

Thanks @chrlyr! Sorry to hear you had to deal with it with your DS, I hope it stays away for this pregnancy. The early morning and nighttime is definitely the worst so I'll make sure to wear the brace then. Bodies are so weird.

Yes...I'm starting to get it now again. The best relief I found was wearing a brace at night and being careful not to sleep with my hands under my head. It took awhile to go away after birth, like months, but I think that's because I Keith getting annoyed and taking the wrist braces off.

The ONLY way I could make those go away was by getting up and standing on that leg. The traditional flex your foot nonsense and running it only made it worse.

Gators&BoSox · December 2016

so today my joints officially gave up? Pretty sure my lumbar and pelvis are becoming unhinged... the arches of my feet give me a sharp stab every time I take a step and don't get me started on these hips. If I didn't know better I'd say I was farther along...but I know better..so WTF body!?

Spartanrd4 · December 2016

Having this weird burning sensation on the top of my bump from the inside...right below my sternum. Is this heart burn?

datalover13 · December 2016

@serenity13 I don't think that's too out-of-the-ordinary... all that congestion and drainage can upset stomachs.Hope you feel better soon!
