Exhaustion, and lots of movement. I’m starting to get uncomfortable.

morgantu · October 2018

big and slow, slow and big.

CecilB93 · October 2018

@Activebaby +1 to that!! I feel like baby grew a ton within just a couple days and all of a sudden I can't hardly breathe, no position is comfortable, and he's constantly moving around.

katy0990 · October 2018

I’m just tired, sore, and always have a full bladder. I’m also sooooo over this 90 degree weather. I live in the Midwest, it’s supposed to be fall now!!

PensiveCrayon · October 2018

Well, I seem to have reached the point of my pregnancy where baby is trying to escape by kicking a hole out my side. This happened with my toddler too, but I couldn’t remember exactly when...I’ll have to write it down for future reference. Theda’s kicks are a bit lower down than the spot her brother preferred to hit. Definitely not my favorite pregnancy thing, especially when I’m having to continually shove a limb out of the way, but it does mean she’s getting bigger and stronger, so I’ll take it!

Other than that, just a lot of hiccups and all the normal aches and pains! Lots of BH; I need to be better about staying hydrated.

whoberry · October 2018

Tired, grouchy, insomnia and HOT. Where are you fall???

futuremrshp · October 2018

Definitely more hungry than usual, I am a little slower than usual. I am doing my best to stay hydrated. And, for goodness sake, WHERE IS FALL????? It was 85 degrees today in the DC area! Like, come on!

snugglyduckling25 · October 2018

Add me to the list of hating the second summer we are having - I think fall is coming later this week for at least a bit! Also, tired, uncomfortable, and my maternity jeans are digging into my belly, which is just sad.

Oh, and the other night I was trying to pick up my living room. Every time I bent over to pick something up I could feel vomit traveling up (reflux?) and my bladder being squeezed. Needless to say, I gave up on cleaning.

babyluv1234 · October 2018

Morning all! Lots of movement almost hurts! I don’t remember my belly itching as much last time. What if anything can we do about the itching?

babyluv1234 · October 2018

@snugglyduckling25 i was doing laundry every time I bent over my hips were like “umm no” only did 2 loads

lexidawg · October 2018

ALLL the tired.

temmetime · October 2018

Everyone is making me glad it's not 90 degrees here anymore! I hope it cools off for ya'll. It went from 90 and hot as hell to 30s and cold/rainy. WHERE IS MY FALL WEATHER, DAMNIT?!

Biggest symptom is impatience & left butt cheek sciatic nerve aches. I'll be getting into the car or just walking and bam, I look like I'm trying to walk with a broken leg it feels like a lightening bolt shoots through my butt/upper leg.

rosebud332 · October 2018

@babyluv1234 I’ve been using the palmer’s stretch marks lotion since pretty early on. I don’t think it helps with stretch marks really but it does seem to help with the itching.

I second this! My kids have even started using the lotion with the belly on it.

babyluv1234 · October 2018

Thanks ladies! Will try!

mag1cbeli3ver · October 2018

Basically, everything @CecilB93 and @morgantu said! Baby bean def had a growth spurt last week which is making it harder to move around. Feeling so big! And when we go on walks, DH is constantly having to wait for me to catch up - usually it's the other way around! It's especially hard to stand up from the toilet without pulling myself up on something.

@babyluv1234 I've been using the Burt's Bees Mama Bee cream and it helps a lot with the itching!

katy0990 · October 2018

@babyluv1234 I have been using aquaphor and it has stopped the itching.

echo-charlietango · October 2018

@snugglyduckling25 Ugh - I feel you on the reflux. I upped my Zantac to pre-breakfast & pre-dinner just so that I could do laundry before dinner without grossing myself out.

Re:itching
I haven't really experienced any itching, but I do feel some relief when I lube up after a shower. I prefer oils, and have a bottle by the shower of apricot oil + fractionated coconut oil + scented oil from B&BW. I only use it once week maybe. I've been relying more on staying hydrated and hoping that my collagen keeps up with my expanding belly.

I've been really good lately, most things I have been blaming on the heat. My sitting/standing/walking staminas are all pretty low, largely caused by achy back and or swelling feet. Reflux is under control with Zantac, and this wiggly babe is soothing the PGAL brain. I wonder how much I'll miss it when he's on the outside?
Otherwise I'm annoyed that I can't bend over like I used to, whether it's clipping the toenails or putting on pants.

asun123 · October 2018

Hot, heartburn, contractions, constant full bladder, always tired, some belly itching.

I can't use stretch mark lotions because so far, I've been allergic to every one I've tried. ESPECIALLY Palmer's. I've always loved Bio Oil though for rubbing on my stomach. Haven't used any this pregnancy though.

scaredunprepared · October 2018

Peeing extra. Like after I stand up, I have to sit back down and pee again. Too early for adult diapers???

katy0990 · October 2018

@scaredunprepared I have told my H that I’m going to start wearing diapers to bed, so I don’t have to get up 5 times to pee.

rosebud332 · October 2018

@temmetime Let me know if you find any ways of relieving the butt pain. Mine is killing me at night and now it’s starting to hurt during the day too. Fun times!

temmetime · October 2018

@rosebud332 stretching is all that has helped a bit for me! It comes at such variable and unpredictable moments.

Katzalia · October 2018

@asun123 I love the bio oil just because it feels good and stops the itching more than lotion does.

Selina1313 · October 2018

Peeing, hungry, huge, tired and hot. Sounds like if I had a few more symptoms they'd be the pregnant 7 dwarfs

mkeys89 · October 2018

Terrible rib pain. It’s a constant burning sensation under my right boob. Drives me up a wall.

Also agree that I’m over this wave of heat in October. I’m ready for fall weather in the Northeast!

Katzalia · October 2018

My hip is bugging me again today. And this baby is banging her head on my cervix all evening.

Re: the heat, I’m so over it. My 4 yo asked again tonight for the millionth time if she can wear her fleece sleeper. When I reminded her how hot it was and suggested lighter pjs, she asked if it was summer again.

CecilB93 · October 2018

I just hope my body allows me to sleep tonight

maureenmce · October 2018

@CecilB93 Hope you can get some sleep! I feel like I've officially arrived in the 'can't get comfortable in any position by the end of the day' phase. Ugh. The bump just feels GIANT and I swear he keeps pressing on a vein or something. Just keep counting down the days - only 7 weeks and 6 days to go!

katy0990 · October 2018

@CecilB93 Were you able to sleep last night?

CecilB93 · October 2018

@katy0990 kind of! Better than the night before at least. Still woke up around 2:15 but managed to get back to sleep fairly quickly. Thanks for asking!

@maureenmce yes!! No position is comfortable anymore. I've been wanting to lay on my back but can't of course, but my hips have started hurting at night when I'm laying down. I'm at 8 weeks even for my countdown to induction! Hoping for natural labor sooner though!

morgantu · October 2018

is anyone else feel nauseous again? I feel like i can't eat anything, but eating might be the only thing that makes me feel better. Ugh, i don't know. I just feel yucky.

Katzalia · October 2018

@morgantu +1 on the nausea and even some vomiting again. The only time mine went away yesterday was after I ate some ice cream.

morgantu · October 2018

@Katzalia sounds like a good strategy to me!

maureenmce · October 2018

@morgantu Yes! I've been having a nausea resurgence too. It seems to happen when I don't eat enough or eat frequently enough, but I don't get any hunger cues (which is annoying) I just get nauseous. But eating more is helping once the nausea hits. Good luck! I hope @Katzalia 's ice cream method is the solution- I'll have to try that too haha.

scaredunprepared · October 2018

@morgantu I'm sorry about nausea again. I don't have that problem (yet? Thankfully.), but I think ice cream is an excellent solution! I also use that to help my heartburn. I was shocked that it actually helped a little! I see ladies mentioning ice cream as a suggestion to help stabilize sugar levels in the GD thread too. Ice cream seems to be the pregnancy problem solver! No wonder we crave ice cream so much while pregnant!

Very much do. Pepcid and tums help. I had to resort back to zofran today. I started throwing up in the car today. Luckily I had a bag and h was driving.

morgantu · October 2018

@Activebaby oh yikes. Sorry you had such a yucky day

hopefully the zofran calms things down
