etnyah · October 2018

This is where the gif usually goes, but I don’t have the energy to come up with anything interesting or funny. Sooo what’s going on with your body this week?

bellebaby221 · October 2018

Restless legs are the devil. I can get every other part of me comfortable but my stupid legs are keeping me from getting any sleep.

etnyah · October 2018

The godawful taste I had in my mouth during first tri is back. I have to constantly eat as to not taste it. Nothing else helps. Brushing my teeth or gurgling mouth wash helps for like a second, but that’s it. It’s making me nauseous and I hate it.

danixbanani24 · October 2018

@grebretso peppermints? sucky candies? I try to keep a bunch in my purse always like the grandma I am haha

danixbanani24 · October 2018

I think I'm getting some sort of head cold - I feel sniffly, headachy and pressure in my head. Ugh.

etnyah · October 2018

@danixbanani24 I did too at one point, but the aftertaste of peppermints or altoids or hard candy makes it waayyyy worse. Snacking is the only thing that helps!

conni0205 · October 2018

The back pain has been really bad this weekend and today. The only way I get comfortable to sleep is on my back because it relieves the pain for some reason, but then it gets hard to breath and I end up on my side with back pain. Tylenol is the only thing that lets me get sleep but I try not to take it unless it is really bad. During the day I feel really great just really hungry all the time. I really am loving pregnancy so far!!

Pretty sure i also just over did it this weekend with a wedding, baby shower, and bridal shower all in one weekend 😑

okayestmom12 · October 2018

This cold of mine can go DIAF. I’m over coughing non freaking stop. This is me, wishing I could take a giant swig of NyQuil and go to sleep.

I’m with you on the mouth taste, @grebretso. My DH has taken to calling my multiple trips to the bathroom to brush my teeth my “new hobby”.

cali1710 · October 2018

I’m just. Tired. I had like a week of second tri energy. Now its gone. Everyting hurts. I sit too long and my ass and hips hurt. I stand up too long and my back hurts. Da fak. I’m on pelvic rest still so I don’t want to do too much but theres so much to do. House is a mess, nursery is a disaster and driving me nuts. Sigh.

AshleySparkle720 · October 2018

My skin feels like it's on fire from stretching. He must be going through a growth spurt because all of a sudden in these last 2 days I feel like I can't breathe and if I take too big of breaths it hurts the skin on my stomach. Why body?! Why.

cas060 · October 2018

@AshleySparkle720 , mines not on fire but def some serious stretching... I figure we're on a growth spurt and everytime i look in the mirror the last couple days I have to do a double take!

becks_726 · October 2018

This isn't a bad symptom, for once: I have energy! It's now a good hour past my normal bedtime and not only am I still awake but I was actually productive this evening too. It's a very pleasant change except for the fact that it makes my early mornings rather painful. But I'll take what I can get!

madreofdragons · October 2018

I’ve got the worst gas pains ever tonight. Hurting up into my ribs.

megpants209 · October 2018

Ugh this week is not feeling my best. Of course I’m not sleeping (you’re shocked, I know!) but this morning I got out of bed with a killer lower back ache and I just feel off. Suspecting I might be coming down with a cold...

sjnsjnsjn · October 2018

It's almost 1am and I have been in bed for two hours and nada... 👿

lzzfrancisco · October 2018

@sjnsjnsjn Same. I just moved to the couch so I wouldnt wake DH. Ugh!

changadee · October 2018

Just had an ugly cry sesh thanks to ongoing back pain. Had to miss my prenatal yoga class because there was no way I could manage even to walk upright that long

massage appointment is booked for Wednesday. I hope they heal me.

megpants209 · October 2018

@sjnsjnsjn and @lzzfrancisco my husband basically moved into the guest room a long time ago...

sjnsjnsjn · October 2018

@megpants209- My SO could sleep through a riot which doesn't exactly engender warm feelings towards him while I am in insomnia land.

bww_0331 · October 2018

A couple of recent trips to the chiro has helped hip and back pain! I feel so much better. Stomach tightness occasionally which is really uncomfortable, but if that’s the worst of it for now then I will gladly take it.

BourbonBiscuits · October 2018

DS was up in the middle of the night again last night (thanks upstairs neighbors!) so we brought him in bed with us. Once again, he would only sleep if he had both hands on my cheeks, nose-to-nose. And of course laying on my right side to face him was extra painful. Sooo I'm feeling a little extra exhausted today. Ughhh

hnbergeron · October 2018

Plus 1 for gas pains! And for belly tightening. Not sure why but my stomach will randomly be fine then it suddenly tightens. The skin just gets pulled . I can tell he is growing! No second tri energy for me...insomnia sucks. But some of the aversions I had are easing up!

danixbanani24 · October 2018

@changadee a monthly massage appointment is what has helped me manage my pain. Pricey but so worth it. Hope it brings you much relief

okayestmom12 · October 2018

This is a fun one and the first for me (TTM)... I have two small eczema patches on my freaking eye lid. Couldn’t they be somewhere more discreet? Like an elbow?

madreofdragons · October 2018

I get it under my eye, pregnant or not @okayestmom12.

okayestmom12 · October 2018

@madreofdragons - Ugh! I’m annoyed for you and me. I put some hydrocortisone on it last night and this morning and skipped any makeup today (god bless the car like at DD’s school - no one needs to see this!).

hnbergeron · October 2018

I thought the tender boob thing was done?? Wth. Feels like a fire on my nips...

bellebaby221 · October 2018

My pelvis hurts so badly. Every time I stand up I feel like I'm going to split in two!

cas060 · October 2018

I always felt like I needed "crusty nipples" defined, but then I discovered the definition for myself last night, gross! Not from lactating just from the skin not falling off as it shed... just kinda sat there collecting. It's "fixed" now, but I think I might barf just re-reading what I typed.

BourbonBiscuits · October 2018

Suddenly today I just feel so uncomfortable. Like I want to lift my belly up all the time and I can't sit with my legs crossed. Thank GOD my desk has a back on it because I'm man-spreading like a mf-er

becks_726 · October 2018

@BourbonBiscuits that started yesterday for me and continued into today. I'm hoping this isn't a now until February thing.

@hnbergeron the sore boobs came back with a vengeance last week but it didn't last too long thankfully. I think they went up another half size or so in the process.

bww_0331 · October 2018

Not sure this is a symptom, but I officially can’t squeeze in spaces I thought I could. A little embarrassing trying to squeeze in between two chairs at lunch and ended up having my stomach bump into a guy. Wide load over here apparently.

lzzfrancisco · October 2018

@bww_0331 that happened to me yesterday, luckily just with someone's backpack!

ksd20 · October 2018

@BourbonBiscuits I'm right there with you, my pain likes to jump from my tailbone, to the left then right side of my pelvis/SI, so glad I wear scrubs and I dont care if anyone judges how I position myself to be somewhat comfortable

@bww_0331 I'm a PT and often find myself suddenly running out of room between patients and equipment when before there was always extra space. Not sure who keeps moving the stuff closer in the gym...

I had heartburn so bad and sudden today I thought I was going to throw up at work, that was fun

hnbergeron · October 2018

@becks_726 glad to know there is hope that it is short lived but I so cannot afford to grow more yet! No money for a new bra.
@cass06_07 same issue here but yeah it is icky.

@ksdelong20 had that last week. Ended up sleeping sitting up for 2 days. It was horrid. Puking made it worse. Thank goodness I had my zofran

notthecheat · October 2018

Throwing a pity party, who wants an invite??

So sick of puking. Literally.

becks_726 · October 2018

@notthecheat I'm so so sorry you are still puking. I simply can't imagine how awful it must be when it just drags on and on and on.

ohsunnydays · October 2018

@notthecheat I’m sorry I can’t even imagine ughhh!!!

BourbonBiscuits · October 2018

@okayestmom12 @madreofdragons your eczema has come to my house now. My lower lash line on my left eye is just a big ol patch of eczema. It's too close to my eyeball to put anything on it, but it's soooo annoying. And I look like I have some eye infection. So cute.

hannahbananas11 · October 2018

@notthecheat Still puking?! I'm so sorry.
I think that all of you who have had to deal with nausea through the entire pregnancy should have the least-complicated labor and deliveries as a kind of consolation. Goodness knows you've earned it!

eggsandwich2019 · October 2018

@notthecheat That really, really sucks that you are still puking. As @hannahbananas11 said you are definitely owed some easy labor, karmically
