How far along?
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling?
Re: Symptoms 7/4
Sleeping is getting harder, and I don't think DH really understands how hard it is. I'm irritable and uncomfortable.
After some people described it, I'm pretty sure I'm having occasional Braxton Hicks. They don't hurt, just uncomfortable. My abdomen just feels really tight for a few minutes.
Was doing good all pregnancy and tonight I am down. I don't want to use the word depressed as that is a true medical condition and I don't want to make light of anyone who has depression.
This sucks though Tearing up and not knowing why.
I will say my hips are sore and I also feel like my crotch is bruised and no reason (other than pregnancy) for it to be that way. Both have been happening on and off but not at the same time. My hip issue normally only happens in the early morning in bed. I will wake up with my hips hurting and need to shift how I am laying.
Also, my back is really stiff in the mornings, and sitting in a straight backed chair (what we have at our puzzle table) is really uncomfortable after about 15 minutes any time of day.

I’m doing pretty well most days. Teary on and off, talking about names set me
off last night. But on the whole okay. We have a session with a family counsellor for Monday, so we’ll see how that goes.
Physically I’m good. A is an active bug, which is super helpful and reassuring. Getting close to when DS1 was born, so hoping to get past his gestation with this pregnancy.
I don’t know if I am dealing with RLP or Braxton Hicks eothwr way I am definitely not a fan. The heat is also starting to get to me and I have been so exhausted, after work/before dinner naps are now my favourite time!

Physically I'm usually pretty good but I'm also in the ac most of the day. The heats been getting me super nauseous really easily though so I try not to be out in it as much as I can even though doing things during the day is limited with DH working second, he was off today so we did pictures and in the way home I was down for the count.
Back pain flares up here and there, after walking a lot especially it got so bad that my legs would almost give out I almost fell down the stairs.. DH is on watch like a hawk right now..
Hips started to feel sore the last couple of mornings but it goes away when I start walking around and stretching out..
Yikes that's a lot more than I thought it would be
I finally pooped today! After like 4 or 5 days of nada. My lower back gets really sore near the end of the day. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable.
I feel like I blinked and 2nd trimester has passed...3rd tri in 2 weeks!!
This week has been rough. I was doing pretty well for awhile but this week the heat really got to me and I’ve just been uncomfortable and out of breath and kind of generally foggy. I also had to stop running because of the heat and I didn’t get in nearly enough excercise which makes me feel restless and makes it harder to sleep. Hoping it cools down a bit and hoping that helps!
BH contractions, although mine literally only last for 10 seconds max so I am still not 100%, but weird stuff in there. Back pain while sleeping which is annoying. I think I am developing diastasis recti- also annoying. And I am 1000000 degrees at night when I try to sleep. I was doing super well and comfy and happy up until week 26 and then BOOM. My body was like 'here comes third tri, fuck you very much'
I also got a prescription for support stockings because of my vericose veins. They don’t bother me physically but I’m a real dress person so I’ll do what I can. She also suggested drinking a boatload of nettle tea. She said a cup or two won’t cut it. I’m going to look in some local stores and then order online if I can’t find it. Anyone else try nettle tea?
Honestly other than that and being tired, I'm not doing that bad lol. Definitely could be worse.
ETA: @SweetSweetTooth I know what you mean about feeling down and blue. I would occasionally get that way prepregnancy and now it's more frequent, where I just feel off and sad and cry over nothing. It really helps me to talk to my husband about it, and understand that for me, it's probably just hormones going crazy. We like to actively do something, ie get out of the house, get ice cream, and stop my moping to get me out of my funk.
@jenchoo Was the nettle tea suggested for vericose veins?? I never heard that but would be willing to try. Mine are really bothering me lately.
Feeling moody and more emotional; hip, back, and pelvic pain when I do too much (which "too much" isn't much more than sitting around all day); heartburn; so freaking tired still.
I can't complain too much, it's been relatively easy. But it feels better to complain.
Braxton Hicks. Every day. Sometimes they hurt but mostly they’re just annoying.
Heartburn is mostly tolerable when I remember to take Zantac.
I’m just super uncomfortable in general. Don’t know how on earth I’ll survive Aug/Sept
DH is thanking the hormone gods...I have this new uncontrollable need to give bjs. Like more than one a day. I’m obsessed. I don’t understand it so I just shrug it off as natures way of making him willing to stick around since I’m pretty sure I’m really annoying right now. He’s been in a great mood though lately
I dont mind doing it for a bit as foreplay...but I HATE 'finishing' it Haha poor hubby
@HoosOnFirst that heat really got to
me yesterday too.

Im dealing with BH too especially in the afternoon if I didn’t drink enough in the morning. They’re more uncomfortable this time around. Also, dealing with heartburn. I usually feel pretty good unless baby girl is dancing on my bladder, then the pelvic pressure sucks until she moves.
I strongly recommend a chiropractor to anyone who has never been and is having back pain! Last pregnancy my back pain started at 17 weeks and by this time I couldn’t sit without being uncomfortable. This time I have moments of discomfort, but it’s so much more
manageable!
