What’s new?
Re: Symptoms Week of 5/28
TTC since 2016
Due: October 12, 2018
Location: Ontario, Canada
Sleeping sucks. I can't fall asleep and then I struggle to stay asleep. The only comfortable position seems to be laying on my back, but on my u pillow so I'm slightly angled.
I'm not looking forward to sleeping in a hotel for the next few nights.

I can fall asleep but can't stay asleep.. my upper back is almost always causing me pain, there is no comfortable position anymore, standing, sitting, laying down, it all sucks.. I feel bigger every day!
Also, oops. I think I posted in last weeks symptoms thread too. Lol
Recent nice symptom: I usually have mild psoriasis on my elbow which has never been bad enough to require medication but has always made me a bit self conscious. For the first time in a decade it’s just completely gone. So that’s really cool. I think it’s because my immune system isn’t functioning as well lol (its auto immune) but it’s nice for now. Hopefully it doesn’t come back with a vengeance post pregnancy.
ETA: Would recommend Tuft & Needle. It's considerably different than what I've been used to for the last decade or so, but my back is thankful for it. No pain!
Symptoms— just baby kicks when I am laying on my left side and paying attention.
My gag reflex isn’t as bad as it was 1st Tri, but occasionally reminds me that it is there.
Still easily exhausted from physical labor, but only need to sit for a few minutes before I have get up and go again.
Also- I want ALL THE SWEET THINGS! I just don’t want more than a bite or two. But I will buy them ALL! And then not eat them. Because I only want a bite or two.
20+4
+1 to sleeping poorly. I am feeling much better though these days. Less nausea and a bit more energy. I haven't been doing very well with exercising and need to find some motivation! Going to try for a 30 min walk on my lunch break today.
Baby is so low in my pelvis, my lower back aches quite a bit and I always have pressure on my bladder and other things
20w1d, +1 to the frequent overnight potty breaks, and hip pain. Wanted to sleep in this morning but still work up at my normal time because of the sciatic pain. Gah. I swear my body has a 8 hour limit on sleeping. More than 8 hours, I get hip pain, even with the body pillow. I ended up on my back the last 30 minutes or so, but have to watch that because my arms will get a little numb.
Edit because I think I tagged the wrong people. Oh well
on the plus side I got them to diagnose me on my break at work, so I didn’t have to make an appointment with my OB.
Feeling pretty good for the most part. I do get the occasional headache still in the afternoon, but a half a cup of coffee seems to help most of the time, or a nap after work. I have been feeling a lot of baby kicks/rolls/flips the last week or so and I love it! I was having trouble sleeping but DH moved the the guest room a couple of nights this week to see if that helped us both and it did! Now I want him back but I don’t at the same time lol (queen bed here for us, wish we could upgrade to a king but we just bought a really nice bedroom set a couple of years ago so it’s not really an option right now).
+1 for shoulder soreness. I can't lay on my left side because my right shoulder is hurting, which may seem weird but its makes sense.
I miss caffeine so much (i cant seem to stomach coffee or tea still).
Luckily I can finally stand coffee again. I just started drinking it again yesterday and I've felt so much better!
