Weekly Symptoms 4/3

mrt · April 2017

@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.

ellie111227 · April 2017

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!

danij0 · April 2017

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.

CapricaAndrea · April 2017

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.

JessyKV · April 2017

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!!

SCIATICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

jennas312 · April 2017

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!

c1tym0m22 · April 2017

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.

Ahutch428 · April 2017

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.

JessyKV · April 2017

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.

doodleoodle · April 2017

@Ahutch428 producing colostrum was one of my first pregnancy symptoms, but this isn't my first pregnancy.

alm52386 · April 2017

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!

kdanjou · April 2017

+1 for the flushing/blushing face and skin tags.

danij0 · April 2017

@kdanjou happy to have someone else blushing. I was starting to think I was crazy. At least its not really a horrible symptoms, just a little weird.

HgPa · April 2017

Blushing over here too. I feel like it happens a lot when I'm talking to people at work. I probably look like a nervous weirdo

danij0 · April 2017

@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.

Knottie42089123 · April 2017

I've been rocking rosy cheeks. Not blushing in response to something, just more of a cherubic overall look

erinh84 · April 2017

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.

meg2704 · April 2017

@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.

Ahutch428 · April 2017

@doodleoodle @shmarpler that's crazy!

awillis13 · April 2017

the past few days my nipples have been intensely itchy. Like uncomfortably so. Not sure it's pregnancy related, but I'll go with it.

kdanjou · April 2017

@erinh84 and @meg2704 I get stomach tightness a lot when I have gas/constipation. Try eating some prunes or some simple exercises to get it out.

helloaustin123 · April 2017

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!

JessyKV · April 2017

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.

Knottie42089123 · April 2017

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

jennas312 · April 2017

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.

kahlan82 · April 2017

I am having the worst nose bleeds. They are happening continously. This pregnancy is introducing me to so many new and wonderful symptoms.

doodleoodle · April 2017

Same here @kahlan82 they're awful! You have to constantly be on guard. Every runny nose is a potential nosebleed

awillis13 · April 2017

@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.

Ahutch428 · April 2017

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.

kahlan82 · April 2017

@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.

Knottie42089123 · April 2017

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

jennas312 · April 2017

Anyone feel like their belly is going to eventually cover their boobs? Hahah I feel like my stomach is so high and my boobs have barely grown.
