I hope this doesn't make me a SS - but I think last night I could feel my belly expanding. It was hurting SO BAD the whole night, the baby was kicking the crap out of me (to the point that it made me exhausted) and today my belly looks HUGE.
Also, I finally slept through the whole night without having to get up to pee. Do get win a cookie or something?
So far, so good. I've been exhausted (more so than usual) all week, so I put my ass to bed at 8:30. I was out by 9:15 after a healthy dose of Investigation Discovery, and I slept almost 8 hours. It was fucking glorious.
Give me four hours, though. I'm sure I'll have something to bitch about.
Ditto to the hip pain sgarmand, and low back pain pbubblegum,. @littlebee, I felt like that the other day- to the point I was almost in tears. DH thought I was crazy. In other news, I actually saw LO move this morning. It wasn't like a foot print visible on my stomach or anything, but more like it was twitching at the same time he was kicking/punching. Craziest thing ever!
I'm extra emotional today. Like really bad. So many tears. And also zero tolerance for stupidity.
PSA: The stomach flu is actually gastroenteritis NOT influenza. Therefore, the flu shot has NOTHING to do with the stomach flu. Apparently this isn't common knowledge for a nurse. People are so dumb I can't even.
I guess this should go in a rant thread or UO, but I can't stand when people say they have the "stomach flu". I'm like yeah that's not actually a thing. Glad I'm not the only one!
Heartburn almost every night at dinner time. But finally definitely feeling Baby moving since the beginning of the week (25 weeks). I love it! It feels like a big fish flopping around in my stomach lol. I even felt it from the outside for the first time last night at work. Like it was a mini high five! Now if only DH would stop working a million extra hours and just be home long enough to feel it for himself.
I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but I've been getting really painful Charlie horses in the morning. Has this been happening to anyone else? It's happened almost every day for the past week.

I had one the a week ago and my calf hurt for days. I stretched it out 3 times a day. I hear water and potassium are supposed to prevent them.

I didn't drink near enough water yesterday, because I feel like it makes my heartburn worse, so I am trying to make up for it today and just take tons of little sips throughout the day. I am also crazy hungry today.
I am just going to jump on the hip/back/pelvic pain bus here. It sucks. I am over it. I feel and apparently sound like an old man when I move. At leasts that's what DH says. It's worse trying to get out of bed. He helps me pretty much every time I get up now.. And I am hungry. So hungry but nothing sounds even remotely good right now. So ya that's mine so far.

I've turned clumsy, apparently. I fell on the ice a few days ago, and just a little while ago I fell coming up the 2 steps to our house, landed on my knees and slammed my forehead against the door. My first thought was "did I drop the falafel and naan platter I just picked up for lunch?". Miraculously it was intact, moreso than I was.

I've been drinking coconut water to help with this, but it keeps happening. Coconut water is supposed to have more potassium than 4 bananas!
Feeling pretty good today! Had a doctor appt (all good!), and had to go to the DMV. I was totally expecting to spend my day off in waiting rooms, but I was done by 10 am! So now I'm home, and cleaning. Have to make some calls, but I'm looking forward to a date night with DH and getting stuff done today! I've started to have a sharp pain behind my right hip/small of my back, but if I relax for a second it goes away. And heartburn sucks - I should have taken up stock in Tums! Enjoying the movements of the kiddo too!
I went out to breakfast with a big group of friends and ate way too fast and threw up. I had to sleep it off in boyfriends car because I was too embarrassed to go back to the table. I was immediately hungry again afterwards. Now I'm laying on the couch eating sour patch kids.
Serious back pain here too. I tried a couple ways too stretch it out but it all kind of hurts my belly. Not exactly cramping but like squishing it. I can't think of words today.

I think I had my first Braxton Hicks contractions yesterday. Very weird feeling. Only happened for a few seconds 3-4 times. Anyone else had them yet?
Also, DB's heart rate was 125 today. In the past it's been near 150 so I was concerned. Midwife said it was totally normal, but I'm still feeling a little freaked. Has anyone else's changed a lot visit to visit?
In more symptom-y news I cleaned a house today and now I'm exhausted. The last thing I want to do is attend DH's work party tonight, especially since I can't drink, which is usually how I entertain myself with his co-workers!

Yes, this is supposed to be normal. Our baby's heart rate started out around 170 early on in my pregnancy. Every time I go to the doctor now it's lower than the last time. At my most recent appointment the baby's heart was at 138 bpm. I asked if that was normal and they said it was fine. I believe the baby's heart is supposed to keep slowing down as it gets more developed.
This heartburn/acid reflux is just killing me. Within five minutes of me being able to feel it starting it gets bad enough that I start throwing up. I have zero nausea at all with out the reflux. But one tiny little heartburn burn burp and that's it. The only thing I can safely eat after lunch are saltines and ice cubes. 15 more weeks of this?

My ribcage is killing me. Not because of baby kicks (yet)... I think just all the expanding and organs pushing up. Making it incredibly hard to get comfortable and expand the rib cage with deep breaths (it's like I have too tight of a dress on or something!)

Obviously check with your OB for this but PepcidAC is on my list of approved meds, and I just started taking them after I asked at my last appointment. I seriously had to get something because I was not getting any sleep anymore because of my heartburn. Its helped ssooooooooo much. (Plus my wallet is thanking me for not going out and buying a new gallon of milk every other day.)
Nausea has reared its ugly head again today. Its like I traded in the heartburn and got this lovely friend back. Oh and my eyes are so dry they hurt. Def. getting eye drops tomorrow when we're not stuck in the apartment because of all the ice.
He's already told me I can take Pepcid, but I am on so many extra meds already that I just can't stand the thought of adding yet another thing to the daily doses.
