@Cbeanz@leylea89 Do you mouth breath at night? I posted this in randoms, but I've been a night mouth breather this whole pregnancy, and just tried nose strips for the first time. No cotton mouth at night, and needed far far less water last night and this morning. Hopefully this is a long term change. I've been soooo thirsty for the last 7 months!
@Cbeanz I was having trouble posting this morning, too - web only, until now. Anyway, I have been more dehydrated the past few weeks (thirsty, drier skin, etc.) It also seems like drinks can't be cold enough, which is weird cause I'm one of those people who usually doesn't really like ice or frozen stuff. Must be a late pregnancy symptom?
@fromcarstokids yes and no. Sometimes I wake up with my mouth open. I saw the nose strips thing. I just don’t have the money for 5 weeks of strips and can get water for free.
I had such bad back and hip pain I finally went and saw a chiropractor who worked miracles and made me feel fantastic. One week later, baby boy decides to drop. Now I have the worst hemorrhoid of my life and nothing is helping. I take multiple baths a day, preparation H with lidocaine and cortisone 10, and ice packs. Anyone know of any other tips? I read that you can have it surgically removed but if it doesnt heal by the time you're in labor you have to have a c-section due to infection risks. I have 2.5 more working weeks until maternity leave and I just dont think I'm going to make it!!!
I've recently been noticing that if I've been sitting for more than a few minutes, when I stand up, I then get one single contraction. And that's it. Not super bothersome, but seems kinda weird 🤷
@knormand418 OMG hemmerhoids are the cruelest invention! Use wet wipes when you clean, drink plenty of water and take stool softeners so you don't strain and make them worse. My life saver is witch hazel pads. I swear I used my boppy pillow to sit on for a while because any pressure there was torture. Unfortunately even if they do resolve by the time you go into labor they will come right on back with a vengeance with pushing out baby 😬
@bartonolivia I hear you on the sleep deprivation! Hopefully you've found a way to catch some zz's. I've been dizzy all day and I think it's due to lack of sleep
Re: Third Tri Symptoms
@bartonolivia Sorry to hear it! I am a psycho monster when sleep deprived...feel your pain! 😴
also, I just spent 45 minutes trying to do some ladyscaping and still have no idea what it looks like down there. Afraid to ask DH
