+1 to the awesomeness of the face fuck! @SweetSweetTooth Your wrists? I’m trying to figure out how you can reach your man’s dick while up on your wrists. Only some hilarious Kama sutra/yoga stuff comes to mind! Easiest way lately for me right now is for both of us to lay kinda on our sides. It’s really easy to switch to face fucking at the end which he loooves! I have a pillow or two handy to support my head when I get lazy so it’s actually pretty comfortable!
Catching up here and was going to post about symptoms, but this thread has apparently taken an interesting turn
25+1 here and feeling the same hip pain that a lot of you are complaining about, especially when I wake up in the morning. Also getting hip and back pain if I sit at work for too long, or when I’m standing by the sink doing the dishes at night. My boobs also feel super heavy all of a sudden, but not really bigger or anything.
Baby movements are definitely getting more frequent and forceful, which is always comforting. Right now he must have shifted to one side because my belly looks totally lopsided looking down from the top. Feeling Braxton Hicks from time to time as well, but nothing too frequently yet.
And I just texted my husband that we should have sex when we get home from work. And he replied "Send nudes", so I jokingly sent him a pic of down my shirt and just realized that my shirt has been on backwards all day.
I'm trying to figure out how "uncomfortable" is not right.. And its so hard to explain. I just feel off. I keep having random pain in my pelvic area. I don't feel like their contracts because it isn't consistent and it'll last a while (anywhere from 5 min to 25) and they don't really come back. I know I'm tired today. But I haven't really done anything strenuous. I decided to get up and collect the dirty clothes to start laundry and I had to go lay down for a few minutes because I was in pain. Baby is moving around like crazy though.
My lady parts feel bruised like they have been kicked repeatedly. @sammierose464 I know I had heard for BH to drink something as dehydration can bring them on. Probably isn't what it is but worth a try! Call your Dr tomorrow?
It probably is dehydration. I know I haven't had as much water as normal being on vacation so I'm trying to drink more. If it's still bugging me come Monday I'll call. It looks like the pain is lasting about 5 min, occurs every 30ish min, but is primarily on my right side.
I also had lightening crotch earlier, that was fun... Not
27 weeks. Feeling depression this week might be from lack of sleep and I am currently not loving my job, Nothing hurts I'm grateful that I can still get around and do things. My stomach is huge earlier compared to last time which is expected. Baby is moving like crazy he is constantly kicking me and rolling around. Im so excited for him to come.
Y’all got me laughing about BJ’s. Mostly your dedication to please, love that, and because I was thinking about them this morning. I just didn’t want to deal with the pressure on my belly and my sore back. Plus I was worried I would gag because I’ve had awful heartburn. I feel bad because I don’t return the favor but he’s come to terms with it.
But off that topic I have a question, I am 25w+5 and have tons of pressure in my lower abdomen. My pregnancy support belt doesn’t really help because my belly isn’t that big yet so the top velcro strap doesn’t do its job. It’s the FLA brand similar to one motherhood carries. I hate it when it hurts during sex even when we are sideways. Then there’s my SI joint have issues, stretching helps but I have a lot of popping/grinding and a pinching sensation. Doctor doesn’t think sciatica because of the popping. What do you all recommend for the pressure discomfort? I’ve thought about the snoogle when I’m sleeping (but it’s $$) or a boppy/hiccapop wedge pillow. It may also help with upper back pain I have when sitting and laying on my side.
I am so uninterested with sex. I am still not healed from DS and it hurts still. We had sex 2 times and got pregnant. He wants sex everyday but I have no interest at all. When we try its too unccomfortable and we stop. Its so frustrating not having a sex drive. I'm having such a hard time being with my son too right now. Its so hard to carry him around and put him down then pick him up. Hes 9 months now and still not crawling or walking. So I'm still all the entertainment he gets. I get out of breath carrying him and he puts pressure on my tummy all the time. God he is messing me up. My back doesnt hurt or anything its just the constant bending to pick him off the ground with my bump in the way. I feel the bump move and feel pressure and things that I wouldnt feel without him beating up his brother all the time. Idk how im gonna last another 12 and a half weeks of this.
Oh man I can’t believe I am late to the BJ discussion! I also prefer to use them as the warm up for sex but will sometimes finish him and usually that means it’s my turn next and that’s always great too!
Symptoms wise I’m with those of you experiencing heart burn. I also haven’t been able to work out much recently and I’ve really gotten bigger the last few weeks. I’m just going with it and trying to be as healthy as I can without going crazy.
All those with heartburn I was prescribed zantac extra strength because I can't have antacids with my antibiotics. I swear this stuff is amazing. I forgot it one day and regretted it. So I take it every day now regardless if I have heartburn or not and it's great!

the last two nights I have woken up with my left hip area numb/tingly and asleep. I am sleeping propped up on several pillows on my back because I can't sleep on my shoulder. Anyone else experience this? Should I not be sleeping on my back?
Me 33 DH 41 TTC since 2016 Due: October 12, 2018 Location: Ontario, Canada
@chyvie my left hip/glute gets numb/tingly/nerve pain-y, but I sleep on my side (regardless of what side I sleep on, the left still hurts more than the right). Pretty sure mine is sciatica. When I'm on my back, my arms tend to go numb if I am not propped up enough, but nothing with the legs yet. Perhaps mention it at your next appt or call the nurse line?
@chyvie my doc said no back, but if I tried back (which is how I normally sleep) to make sure at least 1/3 of my weight was off of it. I'm not basically sleeping sprawled over my u-shape pillow. Super attractive.
@chopchop25 Yes sleeping on the back with lots of pillows behind makes the belly look so much bigger! DH likes it in the morning because my boobs are exposed (I sleep without a shirt on)

So I had a skating event to shoot yesterday, and we drove up Sat night and stayed overnight to avoid having to wake up at 4am for a 13-14 day. It was almost 100 there on Sat, so I wore a dress of course, and after showering at the hotel on Sat night, I realized (at 9pm) that I had not packed pants, besides the fleece leggings I wear under jeans in the rink. I briefly thought about trying to survive with just the fleeces under the dress, but with 13 hours straight in a freeezing rink ahead of me, I decided to go buy some emergency pants. Fortunately, Target was open.
Except not fortunately, because the only maternity pants they had were skinny jeans, which don't fit so well over fleece leggings. WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE SKINNY NOW. I managed to find a pair of skinny bootcut jeans, but I knew I would hate the panel, and surprise surprise, I sure did. The stretchy part was fine, but the top seam of the panel was stitched WAY too tight and it cut into the top of my belly all day. I tried rolling it down, but the fleece leggings are slippery and both sets of pants would fall down every time I sat down and stood up (so every 3-4 mins, between athletes, because I can't stand all day anymore).
Why is this in symptoms? Well despite not having time to eat a full meal all day and surviving on 3 bites of granola bar every half hour, I started getting terrible acid reflux, like what I get when I eat 3 spicy tamales and 2 slices of greasy pizza, and then try to lie down and go to sleep immediately.
Plus, it seemed like the kiddo was so squished that she couldn't move and kick like she usually does (which isn't painful, just noticeable), so she was bored and playing soccer with my inner organs (which was quite painful at times).
At the end of the day, I talked to Dr Google about it, and apparently, tight clothing can cause acid reflux during pregnancy because it literally squeezes the acid out of your stomach and up your esophagus. Lovely. And the super tight maternity panel was squooshed right over my upper abdomen, which is probably right about where my little munchkin has punted my stomach to, right?!
Once the event was over and I wasn't popping up and down like a jack in the box anymore, I rolled down the panel, chugged a bottle of water, and the acid finally started to subside, so yes, I really am blaming this on the pants.
(Yes, I realized I could have avoided all of this if I had just remembered to pack pants.)
Just walked back from a meeting - probably about a .5 mile walk in the woods. It's not hot out and I'm hydrated. Lunch was HUGE (pre-ordered) - fish, chicken, and freaking fried cheesecake. I took off the outer fried shell but you bet I ate that delicious cheesecake. Context because 2/3-3/4 of the way through the walk, I looked up from my phone and had a split second where I completely forgot where I was. I knew I was on the trail, but couldn't figure out why it split and got totally disoriented. Now I'm sitting back down and both of my biceps feel heavy and I feel warm. Vision also felt slightly off when I got back to the office.
Worried it may be GD given that I had the cheesecake, but overall a little freaked out. Not sure if it's worth calling the doc or just taking it easy.
Re: Symptoms 7/4
I also love that this isn't the first time we've had this discussion.

I am the least sexy person I know.
@sammierose464 I know I had heard for BH to drink something as dehydration can bring them on. Probably isn't what it is but worth a try! Call your Dr tomorrow?
Either way, I agree with @SweetSweetTooth- drink some water, get some rest, and call your doctor if it continues.
