October Symptoms

Halfway there! How are you feeling?

jvk2012 · October 2019

This morning I was sitting on the floor in an awkward position changing DD and I pulled something in my hip. Now my hip, leg, and neck on my left side hurt. Not sure if that’s pregnancy related or because I’m old lol.

leksiL · October 2019

My SI joint is all out of wack. I've been trying to loosen up my hamstrings to help out but seeing a chiropractor.

@jvk2012 I'm sure it's pregnancy related we aren't old yet

bg122785 · October 2019

21 weeks here and feeling pretty good! About died from pain last night after I moved too quickly during my sleep. It hurt so bad and I was pretty sure I tore an organ or something. My right hip has been bugging me but I had a chiro appt and will do another follow up this weekend. Also have my first prenatal massage tomorrow, so I hope that helps loosen things up also.

21 weeks with baby measuring 6 days ahead/ 98% for size... I feel big, like rounder than I should at this point and a little worried about how big my belly might be by the end. I'm getting a ton of RLP especially if I sit at my desk for too long. Also I'm having regular BH and just trying to keep hydrated, although I still hold that the baby kicking and shoving and moving SO much is causing some of them. He's crazy active. I keep thinking "aren't they supposed to sleep 14hrs? How is he up AGAIN?"

I am in la la land. Focusing on work is a really difficult task right now!

rikiteacup · October 2019

My only symptom is that I am thirsty all the time. I love water so it isn't a problem but my stomach can't hold gallons of water. I feel like my stomach is going to burst all the time. Maybe it's a sign that I need more room for water and less for junk food

(Did I tell you guys that the president of the company bought, among other things, like 6 boxes of Milano cookies just for me and made it clear they were for me only?

)

brookert615 · October 2019

@craftywitch Too funny about baby being super active! Hope your BH chill out!

@ibabyloveb87 Totally with you on that!

@rikiteacup Oh my goodness! How cool you have all of those cookies to yourself! LOL

daffodil_shoe · October 2019

@rikiteacup that sounds delightful! Yum!

therealbitts · October 2019

@craftywitch I am also feeling really big. And feeling like I’m eating a ton. I gotta long way to go here, so I’m getting a little nervous 😬

lanie1000 · October 2019

I just started getting pelvic pain (feels like my pelvis is being split in two whenever I walk). I had pretty bad SPD with my first pregnancy. It got so painful that some nights I had to crawl up the stairs just to get to bed or sleep downstairs on the couch. Eventually my MFM ordered a disabled placard for me to limit movement. I was optimistic that I wouldn't have to deal with that this go around since I'm 22 weeks and it started around 18 weeks last time. Ugh...hoping the pain subsides.

optimism3 · October 2019

@craftywitch I wonder how i could get bigger at times too!

Also so just dropped in to say - wow October. That feels way closer to February.

ibabyloveb87 · October 2019

@optimism3 umm yeah. October is super close ha!

kbrinks2 · October 2019

@lanie1000 I can relate!! I didn’t have any pelvis pain with my first! My second felt like my pelvis was going to split in two for the last 15ish weeks. I’m just about 19 weeks and I’m already starting to have some discomfort! It is an awful feeling!
AFM I have had a cough for the past 4 weeks and I’ve had a splitting headache most days. And to add to the fun my throat has been so sore the last 2 days.

chipsnsalsa20 · October 2019

Kinda relieved we’re all feeling these muscle/pelvic pains. I’ve stayed away from google for the most part and have been brushing my pain off thinking it’s just because it’s baby #2 and my body’s adjusting.

babybelugaco · October 2019

I've still had some minor lower abdominal aches this last week or so. It seems like could just be my insides stretching. Or maybe some longer bouts of RLP?
I really only notice it if I've been sitting too long, clench my legs (like when I sneeze and try to not pee myself haha) or sometimes when I'm tossing and turning in the night.

leksiL · October 2019

@babyroma RLP is your ligaments stretching so makes sense. I've had some intense ones this week myself. I am glad @chipsnsalsa20 is staying away from google. Google is the devil.

I have my first chiropractor visit today but have already been doing better since switching to sneakers (they look absolutely great with dresses at work NOT btw) using the footstool at my desk and working on my stretches. I think having my new backpack instead of lugging around my purse will help.

therealbitts · October 2019

My boobs have started hurting again and feel really huge. I need to invest in new bras. I don’t remember them feeling this big with my other pregnancies.

babybelugaco · October 2019

@leksiL I wasn't sure exactly if that's what it is. Most everything I've heard it only lasts a couple seconds whereas mine could be a few minutes.

ibabyloveb87 · October 2019

@therealbitts mine don’t really hurt but they’ve become more sensitive again.

rikiteacup · October 2019

Argh, I am sick. All I have is a bad sore throat and pain all over my body. No fever. I feel like death. I got a supply of Tylenol and lozenges and can't wait to leave work, go home and rest.

brookert615 · October 2019

@rikiteacup Oh no! Feel better soon!!!

lanie1000 · October 2019

@rikiteacup Noooo....that's how my cold started a few weeks ago. I still have a pretty bad cough 3 weeks later. I hope you're feeling better soon!

@kbrinks2 Yes!! I'm hoping this is going to be milder than it was before. I need our pelvis' to hold up!

@leksiL I'm on team backpack now, too. It's strange for me because my workbag has always been an over-the-shoulder tote style. It's taken me a while to get used to feeling like a high school kid again.

TennisLove30 · October 2019

This isn’t a symptom, but I was looking in the mirror and found my first ever stretch mark. I didn’t get any with my daughter five years ago.

Swiftlet · October 2019

Sorry to hear @rikiteacup

get well soon!

@craftywitch and @therealbitts also feeling very large over here too. How is this only half way?

mandk1233 · October 2019

@Swiftlet @craftywitch @therealbitts +1 on feeling large. If the pregnancy photos of my mom are any indication, I am going to be getting much larger yet!😳

malloryfrommn · October 2019

@rikiteacup I am so sorry you are sick! Take care of yourself, and I hope it passes soon.

ibabyloveb87 · October 2019

Apparently I cannot eat a lot at dinner. I’ve felt awful after the last 2 nights’ meals. I need to stick to my one serving and leave the food alone.

babybelugaco · October 2019

I'm laying in bed and can feel my pulse in my stomach. It kind of freaked me out for a second but I'm reading it's not unheard of in pregnancy since more blood is getting pumped there. Anybody else ever experience it?

mandk1233 · October 2019

@babyroma Yup and in my throat too sometimes, which my OB assured me is very normal since the heart is shifted out of its usual position.

Whaaattt our hearts move too!? I swear there is no unaffected part of the body during pregnancy!

daffodil_shoe · October 2019

@babyroma yep I can feel my pulse harder everywhere, have for like 2 months now. At this point, we have about an extra pound of blood in our bodies.

So it would seem.

jvk2012 · October 2019

@babyroma, I often can feel my pulse in my stomach, pregnant or not.

kbrinks2 · October 2019

@jvk2012 me too!

therealbitts · October 2019

I can feel my blood pumping too, especially when I am laying really still trying to feel kicks. I don’t like it - it almost makes me feel nauseous!

burr1371 · October 2019

+1 for feeling my pulse all over!

jvk2012 · October 2019

Last night I woke myself up several times because I was stretching out my leg and it felt like a muscle cramp was about to start but I was able to back off the stretch in time. Do not want regular charlie horses yet!

babybelugaco · October 2019

@jvk2012 wait is that a common thing in pregnancy??? I had one not too long ago and it messed me up for like 2 days.

mandk1233 · October 2019

Definitely had my first pregnancy related Charley Horse a couple of mornings ago. My calf is still sore from it. Thankfully, I have a massage booked for Saturday.

As a slight aside, I used to get Charley Horses in my foot all the time, but I don't remember them causing so much pain after the fact as this one has.

clee5711 · October 2019

Charley’s horses are the worst! I got them so often my first pregnancy. I had forgotten about them this time around 🙈
