First world (pregnancy) problems...

Freaking insomnia. 14 more weeks...

DH has a man virus. Send help

[icedtea]

Also the insomnia. I'm not actually sure what a good night's sleep feels like—I take forever to fall asleep, then I'm up over and over again to pee, because my hips hurt, because my back hurts, etc.

I dread going to the gym because my hips hurt so much afterward, and I'm not even doing anything crazy.

None of my workout bras fit.

I get super hungry midday and get a bunch of food ready, but then I can't even come close to eating the same amount I used to. So I feel bad because I'm throwing food away or just mad I didn't get the eat the things I wanted to because I'm too full.

Really silly, I know.

jennykat prenatal depression sucks major ass. I'm sorry you're dealing with that! Unfortunately, the guys don't understand and I don't know if they ever really could. *creepy internet hugs* have you spoken to your provider about it?

[marshian]

jennykat - So sorry you're dealing with anxiety and now prenatal depression on top of it. Anyone who hasn't experienced has a hard time understanding, but I would hope your H would at least know to help you out more at home.

I cried the other day because I was still hungry but also full all at the same time. Pregnancy man

Yes! How is that even possible?

jennykat, I'm sorry. It is hard for people who don't have it to understand, but that doesn't mean they can't try. I hope your H gets better about it.

My lower back and tailbone hurt. When I get out of bed, I honestly feel like my back is going to go out for the first couple of steps.

It feels like not being able to reach things or be agile close to the floor came on really suddenly. I feel like 2 weeks ago I could put on my shoes easily and now it's a whole thing.

And #nosleep

Also can't sleep. DH won't stop snoring. I want to kill. Also, I have heartburn like a mother but can't stop craving spicy things.

jennykat, I'm sorry about the anxiety and depression. These are definitely not FWP. I am in the same boat and know it's not an easy thing to deal with. Hugs to you. I hope DH can figure it out that you need help!

[hpnegirl]

My MWs have no solutions for me nor any alternatives so I'm crying at my desk. Definitely a FWP to be upset about.

[hpnegirl]

moutonrouge get a grabber claw thing! It was a life saver with DS1 and I'm already using it this time around. Also, get a massage or see a chiro...

Can you ask for a prescription for vistaril? My OB prescribed it for me and I started taking it at 32 weeks for insomnia. I still wake up 3-4 times to use the bathroom but I fall right back to sleep.

If it doesn't subside in the next two weeks, I'll be asking. I see a practice of 4 MWs, two are completely unwilling to write prescriptions unless 100% necessary (like, you're dying necessary). One takes pity when you've tried to tough it out and can't. I'm not sure how the 4th is but I see her officially for the first time in two weeks and will be asking if it doesn't get better.

I'll be trying to stop all sleep help meds for a week and see if that helps. I'm pretty sure it's just a tolerance to them as I get insomnia in first tri that lasts the whole pregnancy so I pretty much take Benadryl/unisom the entire time

[hpnegirl]

Seriously, if you don't have a grabber claw, order one now. It makes things so much easier when you can no longer bend down easily..

General FWP: Why can't the Uber drivers look at their GPS and pick me up where I'm at? Same question for drop-off. It's not the hard. I'm looking at their phone and the locations are clearly marked and it will even tell you how much further you have to go.
