Tuesday Symptoms: You Know the Drill! ;)

[turtletyme]

I can't stop peeing! Of course the hypochondriac in me immediately thought "UTI", but I guess we'll see how the day goes. I am also feeling a lot of wiggles and squiggles from the little banana. (could that be what's making me pee?)

[belle0720]

I've noticed that my arms and legs fall asleep a lot these days. It happens when I cross my legs at work too long and I usually wake up a couple of times during the night with an arm tingling.

Other than that I'm feeling pretty good and just hungry a lot of the time.

I think I might have felt baby move for the first time yesterday, but I need to feel it again before I know for sure that that's what it was. Crossing my fingers that it was the beginning of more movement!

[littlegrapey]

I'm tired of being tired. I cannot get comfortable at night, and last night the indigestion was the worst! I woke up several times thinking everything was coming back up. I'm sore all over. Sleeping on my right side causing my ribs to start hurting, sleeping on my left side causes the cartilage in my ear to ache.

On the bright side, the baby is moving a ton.

[teenybird]

I am now at the point where I can't get comfortable to sleep and wake up like 5 times each night to readjust. The back/rib pain is brutal, but now I know it's because this jujube's all snuggled up high. The plight of the short mama: nowhere to go but up and out! Mostly I'm just feeling tired and like I just want to rest in bed all the time. Makes me feel guilty when there's definitely nesting to do and shit to get done around the house. Overall, though, I feel like I can finally start to enjoy being pregnant a little. Can't hide it anymore, but at least it's obvious that it's a real baby, not a food baby in there. I'm pleased to note that my hand swelling seems to have chilled out too; finally got my wedding ring on this morning without struggle!

So tired today from lack of sleep last night. Mostly from a snoring DH and dog. Lots of baby movement right now though which is fun! I'm pretty sure he has the hiccups.

Me, too!  I thought of UTI and then, yeast infection.  I decided to make sure to include yogurt and a probiotic pill just in case.  And, I use the Cottonelle wipes.  lol I'm so neurotic.

I still have the occasional headache, aches/pains (RLP), and heartburn.  On the plus side, my acne has subsided.  Woohoo!  

[megd893]

Still sleepy from restless nights but thankful I have no heartburn! *fingers crossed things stay this way* Also, headcahes and eye pain... dry sore eyes. Apparently - normal.
All totally worth it though ... this little boy is bumping in there a TON these days.

[noeliav]

My left boob is tingling. Like when it used to make milk... but there's no milk now. It's annoying.

Also annoying is my right eye twitch.

I have to pee every 20 minutes and I CAN'T STOP EATING. I've also been getting some mild nausea in the late afternoons, which is very unpleasant. I've also had insanely scary dreams the last two nights.

Also lots and lots and lots of movement! We're convinced this baby is a ninja. And I think I'm starting to get Braxton Hicks, although I'm not 100% sure since this is my first pregnancy. I'm looking into it...

[tiffbot]

Biggest thing is lots of baby movements H has been able to see kicks the last few days. It's shifting around as I type this haha.

[mcp6286]

I hate Braxton Hicks. And heartburn. And sleeping weirdly. But Baby Girl is healthy and that's all that matters!!!

[mrsmonogrammed]

I have been so so so hungry lately! Like I'll eat a snack, and 20 minutes later I'm hungry again! My lunch bag is starting to look like I'm having a family picnic when I open it!!

[bruunk]

Woke up from a night of little to no sleep with a nasty headache so called in sick. Feel guilty about it a little, since I'm hoarding my sick/vacation time for when baby comes, but waking up at noon after the first real sleep in weeks and feeling kiddo wriggle like crazy, was pretty awesome.
The lack of good sleep and the return of the heartburn sucks, but the wriggles are worth it

[holliberry28]

Been craving meat and I was a vegetarian, so there's that. Think I'm starting to feel some flutters, but not positive it's not gas. Also can't find any warm maternity pants! Oh wait, that's not a symptom? Peeing all the time, but that was me before too so I can't say anything has changed. Pee's still cloudy.

[kpgrala]

I finally have internet back after 3 days Ya! Symptoms are like most of yours. No sleep, lots of baby movement which is the best, and I pee every 20 mins I thought I had a uti as well. Besides that baby bump is getting big. ?

[missjenniebean]

Hunger and heart burn no matter what!

[lc1158]

Peanut is squiggling and wiggling and kicking - and I love it so much! I have to be cautious about how much I poke at her to get her to "play" because otherwise I'm pretty sure her first words to me right out of the womb are going to be "I'm not a circus monkey, you know!"

Other than that, my breasts started leaking a but in the shower!! I never thought I'd get so excited about lactating (even my husband just looked at me like I was crazy) but I was jumping up and down for joy.

Not sure if they would be warm enough for where you are or even if they are what you need, but I found fleece-lined leggings at Motherhood.

[Bluedaisy]

Freaking charlie horses...ugh

[theBeeMama]

BACK PAINNNNNNNNNN. And it's the very worst when I sit or lie down. Not that standing is any better on my legs and feet. Ugh. How am I not already nine months pregnant with this awful aching? Lol.

[gingerbabe]

I've noticed with this pregnancy that since I've been pregnant more so than not the past 3 years I don't even realize my pregnancy symptoms because they seem second nature. Then I read all your symptoms and think "oh yeah I have that too".

I'm starting to get swollen already. Mostly I notice it in my hands during the middle of the day. It's still winter and cold, so this makes me worried for the warmer months. My first LO was a summer baby and the amount of swelling was awful!!! I'm not looking forward to all that swelling!

[taisree]

Itchy boobs & painful touchy nipples. I hate my boobs so much right now.

Oh and they're leaking.

[veggiemo]

leenziepops I got some rose hip oil for my dry face and it worked great! I feel like it fixed the dryness and smoothed everything out too. It`s the best my face has looked this whole pregnancy. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

Edited to fix tag (hopefully!)

My tongue hurts. I have determined the culprit to be salty snack foods (i.e. sea salt and vinegar chips...dill pickle rice chips) which apparently aggravate my poor tongue to the point that it sheds its taste buds and gets all pissy. So no more of them I guess.

I also have a cold that is making it hard to breathe (+ sinus headaches) and I am coughing like a lifetime smoker (so much so, in fact, that my wonderful boss offered to make me some honey lemon tea this morning before she left for court)

AND Bluedaisy ja feel on the charlie horses. I got one the other night that was so bad that I was literally writhing in pain and making awful "SKREE SKREE" noises in bed. It was tender for about 3 days.

I used to get the charlie horses all the time because I wasn't getting enough potassium but I'd forgotten how much they suck.

Exhausted today - I was a lurker on TB and am so happy to have found everyone after the exodus! It was intolerable over there after everyone left!

[neongreen]

The sciatica is still going strong. My doctor said there's not much he could recommend besides keep doing what I'm already doing. I might splurge for a prenatal massage and see if that does anything. At this point, it's interfering with my sleep. Like I need to be more cranky.

Also brand new this morning, swollen ankles/feet. Greeeeeat. Once again, the doctor was just like "welcome to having twins". I feel bad for complaining since I had it so easy for so long, but bleh. Also, it's hard not to worry about the swelling.

Lastly, despite having a huge dinner last night, I've been starving all day.

Edit: Totally just noticed this is the Tuesday thread, not the Wednesday thread. It's been a looooooong day.

[clbehenna]

Constant peeing, constant heartburn, and little to no sleep.

Oh, and my boobs are GIANT all of a sudden.

Love feeling this little guy move so much though!
