    15+4...feeling good most of the time. Struggling with headaches most days and stuffed up all the time. My lower back and hips are already bothering me so sleeping is tough, but I remember a few weeks of this with DS and then it went away (or I got used to it) so hopefully it doesn't last long! My lower back hurts and the pain almost feels like it runs down my butt cheek which I feel like is weird!

    How far along are you? 15w5d

    How are you feeling this week? Good! I too have some backpain  @spartan4life but I think mine is from laying down so much and being very inactive. I would say it pulls more than it hurts though. Other than that, I've been hungry after dinner the past couple of days so I think my body has started to request some extra calories. Some RLP when I sneeze.

    @spartan4life oh yeah, that’s the good ol sciatica pain! I get it also, I notice that it is worse that night if I sit on the floor or couch with my legs to one side. And my hips and back were hurting earlier in pregnancy but seem way better lately! To be replaced with leg and foot cramps 😆

    My I get is back too @mimser. Which is good timing because we have SO much food in the fridge right now that I had to send some over to my brother in law. 

    I have been feeling less tired, and my patience is coming back. Weird dreams have kicked in every night. I don’t know if it’s my age, or that I’m on my 4th baby, but I can’t sleep beyond 7:00 am. No matter when I go to bed, if the birds are up, I’m up. I also seem to require less sleep than I did with my earlier pregnancies. Guess I am getting old....

    @brynn_mamaof4 Oh yikes, fx for help from the chiropractor!

    @spartan4life I'm so sorry for your back pain. 

    I'm 17w1d. I'm having a bit of pain, but thankfully it just seems sore and not like sciatic pain.

    @brynn_mamaof4 Wow. I remember you saying you had hip surgeries, never thought those would be the reasons. Glad you made it through, and I hope the pain eases up!

    17+2. Still nauseous but I think it's starting to get better? Definitely not ready to start dropping meds but I only had one or two peppermints yesterday which is a huge improvement. Other than that I've got some SPD, headaches (I feel another one coming on today), and major constipation. I'm also exhausted today but don't know if that's pregnancy related or if I just overdid it the last couple of days with decorating and stuff.

    15+1  Less nauseated.  No vomiting this week, but taking zofran more often.  Constipation is still here.  I'm taking stool softeners daily and pooping EOD, maybe.  I'm not sleeping good on a pretty regular basis.  otherwise I'm doing pretty okay here

    @mkc3888 @gusgus14 I’ve been using Metamucil powder and it helps a lot with constipation. Not perfect, but that plus a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast almost guarantees me a BM once per day as opposed to every other. Still it’s not comfortable and I have to watch what I eat to try and avoid cramps and pains throughout the day. 

    I’m 16+6 and feeling mostly good, just tired — probably because I’m on activity restriction and am not getting any exercise. The pressure I felt after peeing last week has gone away. Dealing with hip pain from one-sided sleeping, and I can’t sleep past 7am no matter when I go to bed mostly because it hurts too much to keep lying down. @brynn_mamaof4 your hip history sounds so difficult—I’m so sorry you’re dealing with extra pain.

    @ccmrc143 the constipation is honestly my own fault  :| I use miralax which works great but the problem is I never think about taking it until all of a sudden I'm 5 days in and dying!

    I've been drinking 4-8 oz. of prune juice every couple of days since my constipation/spotting incident last week and it works a little too well. 😂 Back to BMs once a day.

    @ccmrc143 I recall from my last pregnancy, that if I let my bladder get to full, I'd get braxton hicks and after I peed, it was almost like my abdomen was sore or tender.  So maybe something similar?
