Upcoming Appointments or Results: fetal anatomy scan and OB appt in 2 days
How are you feeling?: I'm overall feeling good. Still some low energy that seems to be weirdly random. Last night I had terrible heartburn that made me cough really hard, which then made the heartburn worse. Tagamet and tums eventually got it under control but I slept on a throne of pillows last night to keep the acid down.
Rants/Raves: Baby loves to kick and move when I least expect it. My DW has started rubbing me down every night with cream to prevent stretch marks which makes me feel like a lounging queen. The squishing of all the innards is something else though. I'm short waisted anyway so there's already not much space at 20 weeks.
@mamamo777 I am part of the group from week 8-13th but I have had some tailbone pain. I sit all day at work and have started noticing tailbone pain when I go to stand up or sit down. I look like an old lady when I go to get out of this chair. I am looking into a donut seat because it is so uncomfortable 🥴

How are you feeling?: Significantly better. Kidney stones and kidney infection seem to be behind me. I've gotten my heartburn under control. I've noticed a bit of joint pain in my hip when I do a lot of walking but it's manageable.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I have no appetite lately. It's been difficult to find things I want to eat. Rave - DH has been gone on a work trip for a few days and comes home today!
Upcoming Appointments or Results: Anatomy scan TOMORROW!!!
How are you feeling?: Really tired lately. Yesterday I had a cramping feeling in my stomach all day that didn't go away until I layed down on the couch for an hour after work.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I'm a teacher and students aren't done until June 28th, I am not done until June 30th... Can it be July yet?? Rave: My twin sister got engaged last night!!!
@manamo777 yes! Such bad back/tailbone/sacrum pain! I had it start right away my last pregnancy and got this little round air pillow which helped but I didn’t do enough to help the pain. By the end of my pregnancy it hurt so bad to walk even a block. Is also got a heat pad to sit in and my seat warmers were my favorite thing. I also had a brilliant idea not to get an epidural for delivery but the back pain was so bad I ended up wanting it but things moved fast and it was too late.
My lower back pain is back again so I have an appointment with a pelvic specialist physical therapist. I asked my midwife about it and she first said I could get a referral to a chiropractor but I feel like they’d be too rough and I’d like to know the actual problem so she referred me to the PT. Since it’s an evaluation appointment it’s extra long and I’ve had to wait 6 weeks for the appointment. So if you can I’d ask your OB/midwife right away at your next appointment or through their online portal to get a pt referral.
