My hips had been doing well but they flared up again. My prenatal chiropractor said they can only do one treatment plan for my insurance and won't try to submit another one. I contacted my midwife and she is writing up a Dr order as my hips only seem to be tolerable when I am seeing the chiropractor. Had a cramp on the top of my foot for a few hours after midnight! Ugh! Pelvis also feels like it has split and is running together.
@SweetSweetTooth they can't have your hips included in your prenatal plan? That seems weird. When I go I just tell her what's bothering me and she adjusts it. Tonight I will be going. I can't wait.
I had like a 12 week treatment plan and it ended so insurance is done paying. I can pay out of pocket but I would much rather insurance did and the Dr's request should take care of that.
Anyone else feeling INSANE? For the last two mornings I have completely lost my shit and been sobbing about very minor slights from my husband. This morning I cried so hard that my nose ring cut the inside of my nose and I was gushing blood down my face and crying. SO PRETTY. I feel fine once the afternoon hits but these mood swings need to take a step back. I also have started doing the GD diet and my numbers have been really high. Feeling completely out of control over here.
@kiwi2628 every time I complain about something pregnancy related to DH, he jokingly says “you’re the one who wanted to get pregnant”, and then I counter that it’s all his fault since he did it to me
I have been having way more BH contractions in the last day or two, and while they aren’t painful, they’re so annoying to me! I’ve also been having major foot pain on my left foot, which my dr thinks is plantar fasciitis, but I’ve been limping around like a cripple the last week or so as it’s gotten worse. I’m trying to stretch it out and do things to make it better, but it’s gotten hard to walk around normally now.
+1 to feeling insane. DH is having his friend over tonight and last night I completely lost it because the house looks terrible since we're halfway through organizing/moving stuff downstairs to clear out the nursery and I just felt crazy overwhelmed at having to adhere to our normal schedule or standards when I feel so abnormal all the time. I could have rationally communicated this but instead I was vacuuming couches while bawling my eyes out.
Two hours later I was laughing while scrolling through instagram. Who is this person I've become?!
@pumpkinpancake plantar fasciitis sucks. There's sadly only so much you can do. Try taking a frozen water bottle to roll under your foot and stretch out the tendon. Avoid shoes that stretch it out, like heels, as having it constantly stretched will irritate and inflame it.
@mygoodlucycat@nikimelon I also feel pretty insane, but not emotional at all. Instead I start cackling at everything! I'm a person who would sit through a comedy movie with a straight face (while finding things funny still, just not a big reactor). Now I laugh uncontrollably and I don't understand it.
@kiwi2628 'I chose this' is my daily mantra now lol. I had it pretty easy in the second trimester and now everything has come at once, the back pain, hip pain, heaviness. Turning over in bed is an absolute DISASTER
+1 to feeling insane @mygoodlucycat and @nikimelon My moods are just so much more intense. When I’m happy, I’m really happy, when I’m angry, I’m super easily pissed off, and everything makes me cry. I’m usually very even-keeled. It’s so weird for me to feel this way.
Screw heartburn. The only way to avoid it is eat itty-bitty amounts all day long, and I'm so over it. I knew this was coming, as it's been like this for every pregnancy, but ugh.
My inability to sit on my couch is also beyond getting old. It's super comfortable, but apparently my lower back/hip on the right side does not approve and hasn't for a while. I do the perfect old lady hobble when getting up from it (when I can get up).
@eireyes Samesies. If I eat more than a tiny portion I feel like I'm going to barf/have heartburn and if I don't eat constantly feel like I'm going pass out. Also, over the couch being comfy. When DD is playing in the living room I have to lay down to be comfy and then I just want to fall asleep.
I might also be insane. Today I am filled with so much rage. The exhaustion might be what's preventing a full scale flip out. I'm too tired to react.
@sammierose464 yes it does suck! I’ve never had to deal with this before, so it’s new to me and I don’t like it! Luckily I’ve never been one who wears heels, but it seems that my flats and sandals aren’t much better because they don’t have much arch support. I’ll probably end up going shopping this weekend to try and find more supportive sandals I can wear to work with dresses, since unfortunately I don’t know if I can get away with wearing my sneakers every day.
@pumpkinpancake you might be able to get the dr to write a note about your shoes if they say something. Mine gets worse with weight gain. It had been acting up before pregnancy because I had put on more weight, so now it's just constant.
Yes to the heart burn and acid reflux and nausea from eating a normal size meal.
Also excercise has gotten really difficult so I’m gaining weight really fast. Definitely freaking me out.
Hard to sleep but always tired, nighttime is when the anxiety comes out. Hard to eat but always a little hungry and nauseated at the same tine. What a paradox is pregnancy.
I really want a full satisfying pee. The last few days I run to the bathroom feeling lol my bladder’s gonna burst and aching then it seems like maybe 1/2 a cup comes out. Tried leaning forward like I recall some people suggesting to someone else but it doesn’t help much.
+1 to the most insane heartburn... all I want is orange juice but I know how terrible that will end so I’m just plain grumpy about it. At least ice cream doesn’t hurt...
I seem to be a +1 to all the symptoms you ladies have posted. The heartburn, the hip pain, the numb hands when sleeping, and the latest to add to my list crazy emotional. I had a really good 1st and 2nd trimester so thinking that I’m going to get hammered with all the crappy symptoms starting in the 3rd.
The past 2 days the back pain is unreal. Especially my mid-back, around my rib area. I may have cried a little earlier because of it and just being so uncomfortable. I am not a crier. Thank you pregnancy hormones.
I’m not going to complain that I have a good appetite and no digestive issues but I really need to practise some self control. I ate a whole pizza for lunch and the ultrasound tech said baby was 3.5 pounds a few days ago. I read somewhere that he can still triple in weight and was like NOOOOOO!
I’ve started feeling a few BH and so far it’s not too bad. Also some pelvic pain when I sit down for a while and then try to get up and move or overdo it at the gym or outside activities.
Good news for my vericose veins is the prescription socks are working really well! I’ve also been drinking the recommended nettle leaf tea which might just be placebo but I definitely feel better wearing shorts. If you can get them covered and aren’t spending too much time outside in the summer heat, I’d really recommend getting some.
Agreed on the pee part! I feel like it takes me FOREVER to pee. Especially in the middle of the night when I just found the right position to sleep in.
This Zofran is amazing y’all. I’m trying to conserve it because they only gave me 15 and I don’t know if my doc will refill it for me, but holy cow does it work!!
Not sure if this is pregnancy related or if it’s a bug but yesterday I had wretched diarrhea and just didn’t feel good. Today I’m still in bed at 11 because I feel so horrible. Diarrhea continues and this nausea makes me feel like I’m back in my worst day of first tri but I’m enormous and can’t sleep. Yay to DHs only day off.
Whether I move from sitting or laying down I feel like I fell on a bike bar, it's so friggin painful. Trying to sit/lay in any position about kills me, arthritis plus loosening joints, not fun. Sleeping is getting harder because of it since I can't sleep on my back even propped up since I just find myself sliding down to lay flat when I sleep. I also have the problem of not being able to sleep on my left side at all, which is supposed to be the safest way to sleep, but I literally cannot breathe when I lay on my left side. I gasp for air when I try but I don't have the same problem laying on my right side, I just get uncomfortable.
+1 heartburn, pelvic pain and hand numbness. I also am super constipated (drinking water and taking Colace) but the only thing that helps is if I drink a coffee but I only indulge on the weekends because then I have to go a bunch sorry for TMI!!
More recently I have been having leg cramps daily (also probably from not enough water) especially when I am sleeping and now the nasal congestion is also worsening.
I had a few contractions last week and wasn't sure if they were BH. At one point I had 4 in an hour and started getting worried so I drank a bunch of water and rested and they stopped about an hour later. I had an irritable uterus with my daughter and had contractions starting at 21-22 weeks but so far this time around things have been ok. I think I may be doing too much so I am going to try to take it easy more this week, as much as I can with work and a 3 year old. I swear everything comes down to not enough water
Not sure if this should be in symptoms, but summer can eff off. Even with the AC blasting I get over heated and weak so fast. I'm starting to feel like I can't even do everyday housekeeping anymore, let alone get baby stuff ready. Being in the 3rd trimester in summer is worse than I thought it would be and I thought it would be bad. And now the stress of feeling like I can't get anything done is making it so I can't turn my mind off to fall asleep. It's going to be a long 8 weeks.
@KFrob, I totally commiserate with you on the heat. We're going through a drought and i've all but given up watering any of my flowers outside. Ironically we still have a mosquito issue due to my neighbors and their standing water ponds, so i'm also being a little over-the-top anxious about getting West Nile too, lol.....all the more reason to stay inside!! I just have zero energy to do anything and I feel like we have nothing done for this baby. Nursery still isnt' set up, clothes aren't washed, baby blanket is not even half done at this point. Oy.....I'm barely staying on top of my everyday laundry/dishes with these kiddos I have now. I cannot wait to find some energy again......or at least have access to caffeine again!! My mind is going a mile a minute with all the things I need to do, but my body just won't cooperate.
In the last couple of days, when walkingw a have occasionally felt pressure between my legs.. almost like a foot is wanting to pop out... It happened with my first daughter too, but I can't remember if it started this early or not? (29 weeks) Anyone else?
Re: Symptoms 8/2
Had a cramp on the top of my foot for a few hours after midnight! Ugh! Pelvis also feels like it has split and is running together.
I have to keep telling myself I chose this, lol
@mamabearcj that's why I still throw up almost daily....it's real fun /sarcasm

Mine is constipation...if it wasn’t bad before the iron supplement, it surely is now.
My newest symptom is period like cramps for the past couple hours... not loving them. Hopefully they go away so I dont have to call the doc tomorrow!
