Weekly Symptoms 10/24

How are we feeling, ladies?


Re: Weekly Symptoms 10/24

  • Lol this meme. My hands were itchy the past few days and I was freaking out that something was wrong with my liver just to find out that I bought the wrong soap brand and it’s making me itchy. Googling during pregnancy is even scarier than usual!

  • @disneybaby23 I was so itchy with my last March baby because of the dry winter air. It was not fun and I did end up getting labs once for peace of mind! 

    I was able to check my BP today when I had a jittery/weak spell and it was fairly low for me. I was able to chug fluids and ate something salty and it seemed to rebound. I vaguely remember issues around this time with my son…I’m wondering if vena cava compression is to blame. I don’t feel lightheaded or dizzy, just weak. Baby is sitting so damn low in my pelvis I wish he/she would float up! I know I’ll regret saying this in a couple of months. 🤣
  • @Wishilivedinflorida - I tend to have a lot of low blood pressure episodes during 2nd tri, usually in the morning when I tend to be dehydrated from the night. A couple of times I even saw spots and had to lay down. My doctor said it was from the fast increase of blood in the body, and that our blood volume increases by 30%!
  • Anyone have an itchy belly and boobs? It’s driving me crazy. Wondering if I should just keep using my oatmeal calming lotion or switch to something else?

    @mamahosch Yes! My belly button started itching yesterday but boobs have been non-stop! And they start to itch at the worst times too. 🥲 I haven’t been using anything, but I should probably start. 

    The last few weeks I have been having this bruise feeling near the right side my bladder. I only notice it when I wake up in the morning, or if I haven’t gone to the bathroom in awhile. I’m thinking it might be the RL since it does feel like a stretch..but also a tender spot. 

    Also, I’m pretty sure baby has been laying on my sciatic nerve each night. I toss and turn every night because of the one leg/hip! No matter the position with pillows, it still aches! Yesterday my leg was achy for several hours after waking up. I think she eventually moved because I felt her on the opposite side of the belly, and my leg didn’t ache anymore. 🤦🏼‍♀️
  • @mamahosch mine are getting itchy. I have a moisturizer that I made for at night. It's oily so I don't use it during the day. I use my regular body lotion during the day and it helps slightly but I'm definitely going to need something else. 
  • @shorty-sar for the sciatic pain, if you have a roller (like for after workouts), try using it on your butt/leg! I had awful sciatic pain last time and it helped a bunch.
