  I was told that my appetite would decrease in the 3rd trimester but I'm starting to think that was a lie? 
  Also it feels like my baby is jabbing me in my pelvis/vagina recently, is it my pelvis getting ready for delivery or is my child just knocking at the vagina door waiting like "Hey mom I'm down here you ready?"

  @lpq0309 I hear you on the cervix punches. When I was pregnant with #2, I swear there were punches when I thought I’d be able to see a fist between my legs because I’d get punched so hard.

  @lpq0309 for a lot of women towards the end of third trimester the baby is taking up so much room that the stomach gets squished and there just isn’t enough room in there for you to eat a lot. For me, it mostly means I eat 6-8 small meals/snacks instead of 3-4 normal sized meals/snacks. I doubt I’m taking in fewer calories though.

  @lpq0309 I am HUNGRY much more than ever. I have to make sure I don’t eat too late, though, as this last week or two when I lie down for bed, I feel all my food just sitting there and I’m so uncomfortable. Acid reflux has upped a ton and I even ended up throwing up the other night, which gave relief in the whole lying down/squished stomach problem.

  nackie  Yeah, I can't eat a lot in one sitting, but I make up for it with how many times I eat. Ha.

  My appetite last time was BIG in 3rd tri; this time around it's the opposite. I've lost a bit of weight in the last month or so, so I'm trying to be more proactive about eating more nutrient and calorie-dense foods, but the only things that actually sound good are total junk. Like those little packaged brownies... Right now I'm eating a homemade smoothie with chia seeds - chia smoothie pudding? - so that's better than the Famous Amos cookies I have in my purse!
  
  Last pregnancy I was super swollen, and this time around I'm not. I'm super thankful and just crossing fingers it stays that way! It's weird how I expected everything to be exactly the same, I guess, and it's totally not.
  
  Otherwise I'm mainly having plenty of BH, some sciatic pain (only in my butt, not all the way down my leg), and deep exhaustion. We've been having temps in the 90's, and we have no AC, and the heat just kills me in the afternoons. I need to get into a better routine of doing chores in the mornings on my days at home so I'm not dragging too much to get anything done in the afternoons. I've also got my nesting instincts kicking in, although that's not motivating me to do any of the basic stuff like vaccuum, lol.
