marshian, normal and only going to get worse. Try to get up and walk every little bit if you can. I had horrible hip problems last time and hoping that doesn't repeat. RLP has started. Oh joy!
For me, my lower back has been off (not really sore but getting there) the past two days if I sit too long. Normal?
Also I'm up to two Colace per day. Ugh.
+1 to needing two Colace a day, and even then- it's still hard to go.
I'm tossing and turning all night. I'm not sleeping well at all which is frustrating and resulting in super exhausting days. I've never used a pregnancy pillow but may need to try one this pregnancy.
@marshain, my pregnancy pillow helps a ton with the lower back pain I was getting. And I'm also up to 2 Colace a day as well and like violetrose I still have trouble going. Like how can i take 2 of these a day for 4 or 5 days and not poop at all! I even did miralax for a few days and didn't go. It's so frustrating.

Seriously, the slow bowels are ridiculous! I'm not desperate enough to do a true laxative (did it once a long time ago, not fun) but some regular movement would be appreciated!

I'm still taking Unisom so sleeping is going well. I am going to try to skip it this coming weekend since *hopefully* MS is behind me so who knows how the sleeping will go.
I have always been very regular and while things are certainly slowed down I fortunately don't need Colace. However, I do poop at random times. Like I wake up in the middle of the night and poop. Seriously body?!
Overall symptoms are so much better these days. Exhaustion has passed and nausea is better. I'm still throwing up when something goes wrong some morning (today it was flipping my head to the side to towel dry my hair).

I've been blessed with a stomach bug. I made it through first tri relatively unscathed, all considering, so I guess this is my pay back. DD also hurled all over the floor. Hubby cleaned it up, but I feel bad that I can't be the one taking care of her. We are in bed sucking apple sauce pouches together right now. She seems to feel OK though and says her tummy doesn't hurt, so hopefully it spares her the torment I've gone through today.
My boobs are also sore. That didn't start until about a week or 2 ago and I'm 14+2 today. I think I've felt movement too. And I'm down to my fat pants as the only pants I can still button comfortably. I have to be careful what I wear to work. Anything fitted looks so obvious. I'm going to run out of shirts that can hide it soon too. I've told my boss, and 3 of my fellow teachers know (one I told, one guessed, and one my DD Spilled the beans to today lol). I don't mind if coworkers know, but I just don't feel ready for the parents of my students to know. They're a tough group of parents this year.
DD just heard cats fighting outside and asked if it was my tummy....

applemuffins, so sorry you and your DD are sick! Hope you feel better soon! I have announced at work to staff but haven't told students and parents yet. I mostly haven't told because I'm not showing and I don't know if 3rd graders will get it if I'm not showing. Being due in June this pregnancy shouldn't impact these students (or their parents) much if at all. Why are you nervous to announce to the parents?

applemuffins I'm so sorry, stomach bugs while pregnant are a special sort of torture, especially when you throw in a sick kid! Hopefully it will pass quickly!

Some of the parents I have this year can just be very catty. I can't really predict how they will react, honestly. They make me nervous in general. In my city, school runs until nearly the end of June so I'll miss the last few weeks, including graduation. I don't know how they will take it. I don't plan on announcing it to my kids (it's preschool, so they're only 4), but I do want to give the parents a heads up. I don't want them thinking I hid it from them kind of thing, and also, they can choose how to approach their children about it if they want to since they're only 4.
New pattern seems to be: Wake up hungry, eat normally or too much through 1pm, then not hungry and no food sounds good the rest of the day. It's odd but I'll take it.

My tailbone (like where your spine meets your tailbone) feels bruised. It's like I fell on it but I definitely didn't fall. I did some gentle yoga last night but nothing I did could have caused this that I can think of. Anyone else?

I've never had that from yoga, but were you doing any balancing on your tailbone for any stretches? Or sitting down for long?

Me too! What is the constipation about?! DH said it's preparation for giving birth...lol.
Lol. With my first, I was so afraid to push in those last few months because I didn't want to push out the baby. And then I couldn't figure out which muscles to engage during labor to actually push the baby out. So maybe he's right.
