Monday symptoms

[jessila]

Post all your whatevers about today. I searched and didn't see one for today.

So I'm super dizzy today. If I'm sitting or lying down I'm okay but being fully vertical and moving around isn't. I ended up leaving work because it was so bad and not conducive to teaching. The school nurse took my BP before the secretary would let me leave and it was spot on normal for me.

Is anyone else having this happen? I know it's a normal symptom for second trimester but I just wanted to check with you lovely ladies.

Hope everyone is feeling okay today :thumbup:

I feel like a crazy person... I don't know if this is a symptom or not, but since we had our AS (on Friday), I have been in full-on panic mode. My husband thinks it's "gender disappointment," but it's totally not. It's more like finding out the sex and seeing how big he's gotten has made this all real finally, and I'm having a FTM freakout. Like, "What if I completely mess this kid up?", "What if I don't feel that mothering instinct?", "What if...?" In my head, I know I need to calm the eff down, but it doesn't seem to actually help me do that. Maybe I need yoga or something?




On a lighter (or heavier, depending on how you look at it) note, I just scarfed down 4 giant spring rolls...and I'm still hungry.

I am having major butt pain. Dr. Google says it's probably a pelvic girdle issue. Trying to do squats often and keggling my heart out.

I'm having a lot of rib pain today, like a muscle cramp that stretching just can't touch. Other than that, I'm just being lazy and still in my PJs since we got another snow day. We have our A/S first thing tomorrow morning, so I'm also trying to keep distracted so I don't freak out about it. We had a lot of little "surprises" thanks to the first tri screening, so I am a little scarred from the experience. Hoping things look good and we can see our little guy growing healthily. I hope that the snow mess today doesn't make it difficult to get to our appointment tomorrow, either!

A client pulled me aside at court today, raised an eyebrow at me and said "Ok, what's up? Your body is changing and you just look different. Do you have something to tell me?" I was wearing a non maternity, long, heavy kint, sweater tunic over leggings that is baggy enough you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell but still shows a maybe bump. She is the first person who didn't already know I was pregnant to ask me about it and I loved it. FINALLY!

I'm tired now that I'm back home and going to take a nap before DS gets home.

Everything hurts. I really hate complaining, but everything hurts today. My ankles, hips, pubic bone, back, boobs, hell even my eyes hurt. I feel like this pregnancy has aged me like 40 years. I think I need to be more active and maybe that will help some of the aches and pains, it is just convincing myself that I should get up and do it. Where did my motivation go??

I've developed a horrid sinus infection or cold. Whatever the crap it is, I'm miserable. Headache, stuffiness, runny nose. Blah.

Also, lovely ankle and hand swelling has begun. What have you guys done to combat swelling?

Moisturise twice a day! Your skin is stretching so it can feel dry and itchy.

I just discovered I have 140 hours of personal leave. I am going to schedule 1-2 days off from work to just sleep in, exercise, eat well, nap, and basically anything else for just me.

I like Burt's Bee's Mama Bee Body Oil for this, it feels really nice and doesn't stain clothes.

I'm having sacroilliac pain, which started after my last pregnancy and I had to wear an ugly belt around my hips for 3 months to stop the pain. So not happy to have it starting in the 2nd tri this time. (I broke out the belt. It helps immensely. It is still ugly).

I stained all of my bras from all the coconut oil! Hope it passes soon. 

I'm a big fan of rosehip oil for face and my nipples. I use a coconut jojoba body butter all over and love it. it's never stained though.
