@LMMama last week I had to give up on my favorite pair of pants. They no longer fit over my bump, and under was not comfortable. I hate that I need like 3 wardrobes over the course of pregnancy.
I noticed yesterday that my packet of info from my ob has a little card in it listing signs of pre-term labor. They are all what I would expect, except it includes pelvic pressure. I feel like I (and many of us) have been experiencing that for a while. I feel like my baby is pushing pretty hard directly on my cervix like 90% of the time. I think this is a normal pregnancy symptom, but i guess I'll ask my ob for reassurance next time i see her. I'm expecting to hear pretty much what @lovesclimbing said.
My pelvic area is very sore today. It started yesterday after my first day nannying the twins so I thought it was from getting up and down off the floor a lot. But Chloe also has been moving A LOT and that was uncomfortable all evening/night too. Maybe she is preparing to flip head down!?
I've had some low achiness recently. My midwife said sometimes the baby can go head down and get pretty far down in there while it's head is still small. I've wondered if that's some of my issue. She suggested laying at a slight upside down incline to help the baby kind of "float" out of there, but it's improved today so I haven't tried it.
I'm pretty sure she is still breech. Maybe her little butt is super low! We have an ultrasound tomorrow so we will see what position she is in. I asked my OB about it yesterday and they just said it's RLP. We'll see if it gets better after resting all weekend.

I'm having trouble coming to terms with a lot of my current clothes not fitting. I do have numerous dresses that could get me through til June if it EVER gets nice enough in NJ to wear them!
3 days without blood in my urine!! Hoping baby moved and the issue is over! Anyone else noticing themselves blushing more? I feel like my face gets red any time I start talking these days. I've always been prone to blushing easily but its been a little out of control.
I knew skin tags was a thing that could happen with pregnancy, but I had no idea how annoying it would be, especially with one right in my armpit. The stupid thing seems to have shown up from out of nowhere, drove me crazy for about 3 days because it kept catching on my bra/clothes as I moved around, and apparently somehow overnight it disappeared (which may mean it finally caught on something and just ripped off).

I had skin tags with DD1, and also had an annoying one in my armpit. I accidentally shaved it off one day in the shower. That was the day I realized that pregnancy is very weird, and often gross.
I've had a couple skin tags during pregnancy . One being by my bikini line which was so weird and uncomfortable. It rubbed on all pants. And one by my bra/armpit area . They both went away thankfully. Why is that a thing. Gross and weird!!
Exhausted by everything. Ready for bed now at 7:50pm. I don't care about dishes or laundry. Ate a bagel for dinner. @momma2char I'm exhausted and can't sleep either. I'm a ftm so I don't have any little ones to take care of..I can only imagine!
Unfortunate discovery of the evening: I apparently get motion sick on Amtrak trains when pregnant. Not cool when I've got another 90 minutes tonight and then the trip back this weekend.
Anyone else having breast pain? I keep getting this pain in my left breast. It's seems way to early for milk to be coming in, so maybe it's just growing? I switched bras, but hasn't seemed to help at all yet.
I itch all over tonight. And I've felt itchy at bedtime a lot where it's hard to go to sleep because I think about itching. I recently read a scary article on Facebook about cholestasis and now I'm paranoid. I have an Ob appointment on Monday so I'll probably ask about it but I feel like a complete crazy person.

My midwife has me taking a dandelion supplement for this and the itch went away.
@Ahutch428, my boobs hurt with DD from about 2 weeks before I got a bfp, until after she was born. I'm not sure how common it is, but a few ladies on my last board began lactating many weeks before baby came.
Anyone else have scars that have changed? I have some scars from chicken pox (I love to scratch/pick) and they are darker than they used to be! My belly itches on and off I assume from stretching or increased blood flow? Also, I'm already producing colostrum. Not enough that I need a bra pad thingy yet. But it comes out if I squeeze them and I always have crusty dried colostrum on my nips. Maybe this would have been a good TMI post!
@HgPa Same. I was talking about a totally normal work thing and I could feel my face get hot and red and I was like what is going on - I'm not nervous or embarrassed? Very strange.
Has anyone been dealing with stomach tightness? Mine has been really tight the past 2 days and it's really uncomfortable to sit down or bend over. It feels tight just like I'm having a BH contraction, except my stomach doesn't contract, it just stays in a tight ball. I've been increasing my water intake hoping that would help. If anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with this annoyance, I'm all ears.
@erinh84 my stomach has been tight too. I've been doing the same thing, trying to stay hydrated. A new one today is stomach cramps, really low that feel almost like period/diarrhea cramps. It's just it's not a great day! And I have an event tonight so I can't go home and curl up in the fetal position like I really want to.
I have been having lots of pressure. I feel like She is dropping a tad bit for sure. Good cause she has been so high it was hard to breathe for a while!
I've also been leaking colostrum for a lot of this pregnancy. My nips always have dried milk on them.
@erinh84 I also have stomach tightness from time to time. Especially in the night/first thing in the morning. You may want to run the all day tightness by your doctor if it's a painful tightness. I had that my first pregnancy and was sent to L&D and they were contractions so they gave me something to stop them. That was at 33 weeks and I didn't have issues the rest of my pregnancy.
I think my love of belly balms and lotions coupled with hairy pregnancy belly is starting to give me little dark ingrown hair spots. Is there anything in life without side effects waaaaaaahhhhh
One foot is swollen and tingly. I have it elevated. Not doing much. Edit: I attribute this to what I ate at seafood restaurant. Too much salt probably.
I am having the worst nose bleeds. They are happening continously. This pregnancy is introducing me to so many new and wonderful symptoms.

@kahlan82 I haven't had full on nosebleeds, but I often have blood in the tissue when I blow my nose. My nasal membranes are just so dry! I'm surprised I haven't had a full on nosebleed yet.

I'm exactly the same, and I find myself constantly picking what are basically scabs out of my nose (which I'm sure my DH finds super attractive!) Mine has been like that since the first trimester so I'm shocked it hasn't gotten worse.
I bent down today to clean up a mess DD made and I think I pulled my round ligament muscle. It hurts so bad! I currently have a heating pad on and that helps some.
@awillis13 I know. I hate the scabs worse than the nose bleeds. Of course, I pick the scabs because they are driving me crazy and then the nose bleeds start again. So much fun.

I am feeling more and more nausea. This cannot come back. I'm still not even at my pre-pregnancy weight! I'm like 2 lbs away from it but I have gained a few pounds since the new year. I'm hoping it's just dehydration or something. I left about 65% of my lunch salad in the plate. No bueno
