Re: July Symptoms
@nmadjeski After lots of leg cramps in my first pregnancy I have found that a banana a day keeps me from getting any!
My lower back is starting to hurt a lot while sleeping. I have a pregnancy pillow but it’s just not supporting much. I’m awake before anyone else because I had to pee and give my dog his pill and can’t go back to sleep.

I had a total blood sugar drop yesterday. I was making something on the stove, felt a little nauseous, 2 seconds later KNEW I was going to throw up immediately so I walked away to head to the bathroom and before I got 3 steps my vision started to go black and I dropped to my knees before fully passing out. My husband was right there and I went and sat down. Didn’t throw up and felt better after I ate. Just scary.

Due with #3 December 2020!
I bought one of those big pregnancy pillows which is pretty nice and comfortable it helps a little but doesn’t help with the weird dreams and bladder
I swear I haven’t eaten as many Tums throughout my whole life as I have over the last week. (I’ve never really gotten heartburn much before so it’s not like I’m eating them all day every day now
also these headaches that seem to be incurable are killing me and they last multiple days - I’ve tried caffeine, Tylenol, drinking a lot of water, eating - nothing seems to help for very long.
Also are you taking an allergy medicine or decongestant? I know prior to being pregnant, whenever I had a headache that wouldn't go away for a couple days, it was normally a sinus headache. Not sure what meds are pregnancy safe for that, but you could always ask if you think it would help. Best of luck to you!

@bartonolivia If it helps, my mother had told me she had some spotting in her 5th month, enough that it looked like her period. I don't think she ever knew why, and I was born perfectly fine (though premature). Very scary, though it's encouraging that the doctors aren't concerned.
And for the urination, I’ve had that as well. It takes a while to go when I do go, and then I have to really try to empty my bladder. I’m also having a chronic yeast infection issue that might be affecting it though, too.
