Oh, and here's a TMI symptom - my vagina hurts. Like the actual external vagina/labia with a muscle-like soreness or achy feeling. But only on one side. And not all the time; it comes and goes. Is this a thing?
My labia feels swollen, like I’ve worn pants with an awful inseam and irritated my whole area. I had my dr swab to make sure I don’t have a yeast infection. She said that some women can develop varicose veins in their vagina during pregnancy and having swelling in the vagina/rectum area is totally a possibility. I’m not a fan of this side effect.

That sounds like a nightmare. And now that I know about it, it’s going to happen to me...
any recommendations for oils or lotion should to help with Itchy boobs?
Eucerin is working well for me in the midsection, and I do what @3plus1equals4 does for boobs. I've tried bio oil too which worked but I'm not wild about the scent.
I use bio oil, and the honest company's belly oil.
I just want to say that I am so so sorry to those of you who are still getting sick. I had to be on Diclegis until 36 weeks without DD. It's miserable and throwing up when you're huge is so awful.
@SarahFoley725 I wish I could take that regularly. It puts me into a weird trance/zombie state where I'm useless at work. Then again, I've been useless for a few days anyway.
For my belly/boobs I've been using that Jergins after shower lotion. You put it on while your skin is still wet and then pat dry on the areas you used it. I LOVE it.
ETA: Guys, I am HOT and sweaty all the time. Its getting embarrassing.
Ugh... I'm getting tired again too. I thought it was just holiday/work travel hangover but every afternoon this week I've felt like I just want to crash out and nap. Give me your hints for staying at least awake-looking?
I am over the sudden onset hunger when this little one decides to roll off my stomach . I'll be not hungry for so long then bam I'm starving and ready to eat a horse.
I keep having dreams that my husband is either gone (as in, he never existed and I'm not married) or he's married to someone else and I'm alone. Then I wake up all weepy and hug on him and he's confused as all hell, and I'm all

@eggplantface I had a dream a few weeks ago where H told me that he had cheated on me after we got engaged. I woke up upset and angry at him and told him what had happened. He was so sweet about it though.
Fyi he hasn't cheated on me. Poor guy barely gets out of the house since the woman he takes care of lives with us and is VERY demanding. Even if he wanted to, he doesn't have the time! Lol

So I was so excited last week about my hair not getting greasy and being able to go days without washing - but now my scalp is getting so dry! I knew it was too good to be true.

This is TMI but I’ve been going number 2 multiple times a day for the past week and a half. I know they mentioned in the birth class that it could mean you’re body is getting ready for labor, which I hope that’s not the case because I still have 9 weeks to go. And my morning sickness is still horrible

Crossing fingers that your LO stays in there! I wish I could go #2 at least once a day!

STUCK IN BOX Also TMI, but related... I just took the biggest poop of my pregnancy and was worried about the same thing. 10 weeks to go.
My doc asked me about my bowel function today, and I said I had some constipation but took Miralax to help, and he said to continue that plus maybe a Colace once or twice a day for the rest of the pregnancy "so you don't pass a brick. Wouldn't that be unpleasant?" Why yes, Captain Obvious, yes it would.

Lol yeah, it was overall a weird appointment. This is the first time I've seen this doctor in the practice. He's the one doing my c-section as he is the most experienced and they're worried about complications from my fibroids and scar tissue. He's rated as one of the best docs in the area and I trust the practice's judgment, he's just a little stranger than I was expecting....

@tayant814 this has been happening to me also! Out of nowhere I'm now going 2-3 times a day , with no real change in diet or anything that would clearly cause extra bowel movements. I have 9 weeks to go so I hope it's just a new pregnancy phase and not a sign of impending labor!
I don’t know what nerve or ligament or whatever is being pushed on, but my right buttcheek has been aching all day. Along with with right upper thigh/groin and whenever I lift that leg to do something simple like put pants on, the pain shoots up the right side of my belly. So my right side is having a lot of fun right now
What are all you mamas doing about your sore pubic bone? Just hit 28 weeks and it just started to ache.
A lot of waddling.
Eta - Cut off the rest of the post...
I've been sleeping with a pillow between my legs and another wedges partially under my back/hips (while sleeping on my side). That has at least helped for the morning pain. But it's definitely there when I sit too long...
Anyone else’s upper body sore? My shoulders/neck/upper back feel like I’ve been hitting the gym too hard (spoiler:I haven’t). I can’t figure out if it’s from the way I’m sleeping or maybe my upper back is overcompensating for my lower back muscles since they’re currently being put to constant use with the growing belly.

I had this a few weeks ago. It almost felt like I had been in a car accident--sore in my shoulder, ribs, back, neck. It went away after a 2 days. I have a feeling I may have just slept wrong.
Not a symptom...but just took a shower and shaved my legs. Felt that was enough exercise for the day. Need a shower from my shower. Belly is getting in the way!

I have a holiday party tonight for work and need to shave. I feel like I should do it now so I can rest between all that activity and the party.
I’m so gassy. I almost went to L&D bc the pain from it plus BH made me wonder if it was premature labor. Ugh. It’s going to be a long time till February

The last time i tried to shave several weeks ago i was in pain from bending and squishing so much afterwards. I have given up, my teenage daughter offered to shave my legs for me...

I get really gassy after eating. It's the worst.
YES! I’m going to ask about probiotics and enzymes at my next appointment bc that was intense (and gross!)
