@kangstadt Haha that's funny. I actually asked DH to rub my feet tonight in exchange for a blow job.......of course, he rubbed my feet knowing I probably wouldnt... and I didn't lol. Maybe tomorrow
Out of control hunger sounds kinda good to me right now...
Currently I'm struggling with a resurgence of nausea and just a total lack of appetite. I think it's being caused by all my organs being mashed up in my chest. I'm resorting back to some of my first trimester habits just to get enough calories (basically whole fat dairy and peanut butter). Anyone else have anything similar?
I think the baby has twisted into some weird lopsided position because lying on my left side now feels uncomfortable and lumpy. Gonna have to watch for where I feel kicks today - they had been super consistently at about 10 o’clock from my belly button.
I knew constipation happens often but last night after MANY days It finally came out AND it was super embarrassing since I clogged the toilet and had to tell DH not to use it and had to explain further since DH is dense and was confused as to how I did it. Yay poop.

@kosmo86, no such thing as TMI between pregnant ladies or moms . I asked DH if he was almost done in the shower last night and his first question was, "Do you have to poop?" Lol.
@mesweettea yes, absolutely having trouble with nausea and food! But now I have GD so they may be symptoms of that. Luckily no throwing up yet (though that hasn’t happened the whole pregnancy).
@kosmo86 I’m on 300mg of iron a day for anemia and holy smokes my poop is huge and solid as a freaking brick. I have def clogged the toilet and said the same thing to my husband!
I have one really sore spot on the left side of my stomach. Doctor thinks it is bruised there because baby keeps kicking in the same spot. It is starting to get really sore! Blah!
+1 sciatica pain pity party. Someone suggested PT when I mentioned it yesterday so my mid-wife is sending me for a consult. She said it’ll only get worse. Ick!
Also my heartburn seems to be getting worse. I feel gross from burping and passing gas so often but DH could care less, lol.
+1 for not being able to cross my legs. And even when I sit uncrossed or criss cross apple sauce (love it) sometimes my legs fall asleep and DH has to move me into a new position. Real fun... Basically feeling like this all the time these days...
In other news... LO kicks so hard sometimes that she cracks my spine / sends radiating pain up my side... glad that she's active but a little concerned that either its a bit of a Rosemary's baby situation brewing or that I will give birth to the hulk... time will tell...
You guys are hilarious. I'm hungry literally every 5 min. Like ravenous havent ate all day (even though I just finished eating) hunger and also I cant walk or move my legs without pain. My lower stomach amd pelvis are killing me.
add me to the nausea and fatigue group. Threw up my entire meatball sub last night and then went to bed at 6pm. Woke up at 5:30am for work and im still exhausted...
I think my exhaustion is 100% due to insomnia and back pain all night. I feel like I need a solid 12 hour sleep to fully recover.... so that will happen is about 12 months lol. Little girl also decided to wedge her feet into my ribcage this morning. In other news my reflux is better
Well I'm going to show you guys the grossest pictures cause I'm feeling sorry for myself so sorry in advance lol. This is what the cholestasis has caused and I'm not even consciously scratching, it happens at night. Ugh.
@kristenhk - Ugh, so awful! I hope you get some relief soon. Does it get worse as the pregnancy progresses or plateau? And do they let you take anything to help manage it?! Sorry you're going through this!
@kristenhk, soo sorry you're dealing with that! I couldn't even imagine!
@mrssweettea, @MRDCle, and others dealing w/ nausea, so sorry for you! I am not dealing w/ that, but I will never forget how bad I had it in the 1st tri. I would probably cry if that shit came back to me!
I am officially sleeping in my recliner 100% thru the night now. I was switching back and forth between the chair and my bed, and switching from left side to right side. but now I don't even fuck w/ laying flat anymore. it's the recliner for me until I deliver.
baby boy has to be RIGHT ON TOP of my bladder, man. every small movement, shift, bump, kick, etc.. has me pinching to all hell so I don't piss myself. and he feels so heavy! I just wish all that weight wasn't on my damn bladder. I'm already waddling everywhere. and everyone knows I have 2 months left. it's embarrassing.
@snowhite12 It's a liver disorder you can have when pregnant where the bile acids build up in the bloodstream and cause really bad itching that's usually worse at night for some reason. I'm definitely doing it in my sleep when I do finally fall asleep so hoping the medication helps stop that soon!
@TheSouffleGirl they said it usually gets worse the further along you are but they did start me on Ursodiol which is supposed to help bring the bile acids down and hopefully stop some of the itching.
@thatbaintforbetty I would definitely mention it just to be on the safe side. I left it for almost a month before saying anything cause I assumed it was just normal pregnancy itching. Better to just have a bile acid blood test and be sure! Do you notice yours more at night? I know that's not always the case but seems to be common for whatever reason.
@kristenhk In the evening yes. I was chalking it up to swelling and my legs being free from skinny jeans but I will definitely mention it at my next appt or sooner if it gets worse.

Im having a super cool and fun side effect these days - my legs and feet start tingling and go numb all the time. Apparently it’s normal, but very annoying. The recommendation is to lay down on your left side until it goes away, so that’s totally cool at work, right? I mean seriously. What am I supposed to do, lay down on my office floor? *insert huge eye roll here*
@professormama I'm getting the same thing with my hands (not feet - at least, not yet). I think it's one of the more bizarre symptoms.
Also, I can't tell if I actually have a cold, but my nose is more stuffed up than ever! And I produce so much damn snot. I'm over it! (and I'm really grumpy today if you can't tell). Oh, and I'm getting night sweats....and day sweats, to be honest. I've been wearing compression socks to reduce swelling, but they're so freaking hot I just can't seem to cool down ever.
@fuzzywombat Eucerin. I use their daily lotion for my very dry sensitive eczema prone skin and it’s amazing. They also have an intensive repair extra enriched hand cream.

@rennie1108 I can't tell if I'm getting sick again or if it's just pregnancy. So much fluid and mucus in my nose/sinuses/ears/eyes. Ew.
My boss asked me how I was doing and I grunted and said I'm randomly breaking out into a sweat this afternoon and she said "You still have a really long time to go." Uuuh right. So be prepared to listen to me complain the whole time, lady!

Here, I’ve got hemorrhoids and they are painful. And gas, which makes them more painful. It ruins my mood and motivation all day.
I do not have time for another doctors appointment.

Although looking at your pictures, that’s the same area I have recently started scratching and now I’m thinking I should mention that to my doc.
