@margareth that could be BH. Or LO could also be pushing against your diaphragm. My LO likes to shove her head into my diaphragm all the time. It makes it harder to breathe and sometimes makes my belly feel sore from where she pushes out.
Restless legs are making it impossible to sleep, but I still fe l energized? What is this?! Haha...
Whatever my pelvis is doing that caused me to suddenly have a "thigh gap" is making my hips super sor and causing nerve pain, so I'm going to see a physical therapist next week, someone I've worked with before.
@margareth, I've been having a similar dilemma about whether I was feeling BH or just the baby putting pressure on my belly/other parts of my body. I had convinced myself it was just the baby putting pressure, but I ended up in the hospital on Tuesday night due to some bleeding and they put me on the contraction monitor and I was definitely having contractions. I think what I had been feeling was the baby moving during a contraction, so that's why I was confused if it was a contraction or just baby movement. So now I know what it feels like! Fortunately my contractions were not active labor and they stopped after getting IV fluids, but they were happening frequently enough to be a concern. But, if you're having them at random intervals and less than 4 in an hour, it's totally normal and not of concern. And they told me if you do have more than 4 in an hour, first step is to lie down and drink a bunch of water. If that makes them go away, you're fine. If it doesn't, then you call the doctor.
31w. I have been so nauseated the last couple of days. Last night around midnight it was so bad it woke me up. I did everything in my power not to puke. I'm not sure if it's a little bug or the pregnancy but this is miserable.
I'm 30 weeks today with our little girl due 9/6/17. Last u/s at 28 weeks was perfect except for a little high levels on the fluid. But in normal range - she's a big baby though. 67% - 75% on growth.
Symptoms: Sciatica - in left tail bone/ leg - it's there quite a bit and intense.
Stabbing pains in my breasts and pelvic area - I think the hormones are getting everything ready.
Fatigue, make that extreme fatigue - I doubt I'm up for over an hour before I'm tired again..
Cramps - off / on because of dehydration I'm guessing? I can't drink coffee at all or they come on for some reason - not a sip of it - so I take a lot of naps. It's been like this the whole month of June. Maybe braxton hicks too probably
Dizzy - low blood pressure, low blood sugar at times (no Gestational Diabetes, hypoglycemia), and just changing position
Headache - off/on migraines? I'm not sure maybe tension.
Sometimes a little nausea, not too bad though.
Haven't had blood test lately but will tomorrow - to see about anemia etc. Again it's all worth it
I'm with you on the extreme fatigue, low BP, dizziness and headaches. Any news on the anemia front? My OB told me my ferritin is 12, which is "normal" but on the low end, and didn't recommend a supplement. My family doctor was horrified, told me to start iron right away, and the pharmacist said the same. Going to see the OB tomorrow so I'm curious if he thinks it was as a big a mistake as the others. I just hope it gives me some energy!!
@sugargirl1019 I had labs drawn today that showed my hemoglobin at 11.4. I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor to see what I have to do/take. Can I ask you what they put you on for the anemia?

She didn't give me anything specific, I have some iron samples that also have a stool softener in them though, so I've been taking those.

@efrey1986 I started using Floradix liquid iron about a month ago because my results were also low. It took a good two weeks for my stomach to get use to it.
@efrey1986 yes it did for me. I noticed a difference almost right away but I also started focusing on and incorporating more iron rich foods in my diet including taking a tablespoon of molasses every morning. Which is absolutely disgusting but I know it is one of the biggest iron containing products. I will be getting my labs drawn again Monday so fingers crossed my number went up.
My iron was also 12 and it works alarm my OB as I dropped from 47 to 12 and they don't want me going lower then 10. She recommend FerAMax and it can be bought at Costco. She said it's better on the tummy and better absorbstion as that's what I struggle with. I also use Spatone on the regular even before baby as I've always struggled with my iron.
