Monday Symptoms 3/2

[mrskblack11]

Happy Monday Ladies!

How are those symptoms treating you?

[alayne926]

Pretty good today, actually...If I could poop, I would feel GREAT! lol

Does being highly emotional count as a symptom? Because that's a big one for me lately. I cried three times yesterday over really dumb shit.

I'm not a super huge cryer, but I bawled over the movies Argo and Zero Dark Thirty this weekend. Because patriotism, y'all.

I had a prenatal massage this weekend and I feel great. I caught up on sleep. I feel rejuvenated.

So jealous!

My ab muscles (or what's left of them) have been sooooo sore the past week or so. I've been trying to take it easy but nesting kicked in on Saturday and I cleaned out the mater closet and donated a ton of stuff! It felt nice to clear a little clutter by my belly muscles are protesting today!

Besides being sick right now and no drugs...

Waking through the night to pee. Which pisses me off because DD has finally started sleeping through the night again after moving to her big girl bed and now I'm waking up. I just want to sleep through the night.

Back pain. Out of breath.

I am now convinced that I will never poop again. Ever.

Otherwise, the usual list of ailments - heartburn, aches/pains, insomnia, peeing.

Also, a TON of Braxton-Hicks. Anyone else?

The leg cramps started last night. Had to wake DH up to help me stretch it out in the middle of the night.
Also I feel huge! I know you tend to forget a lot between pregnancies, but damn... I don't remember feeling this big this early.

So I have been having some slightly concerning symptoms and I am feeling pretty down about them. A couple of times at my recent prenatal appts I have had slightly elevated blood pressure, but they had me check it at random times while I was out, and it was always fine, so they thought I probably just had a little 'white coat hypertension'. Which is all well and good, except last week I had 1 episode of weird floaters in my vision, and this weekend I ate way more sodium than normal and I think my face is a little swollen. All of these could be signs of pre-eclampsia, and I am freaking out. I have a prenatal appt on Wednesday where they were already going to do 28 week blood work, so I should find out for sure. But since I am going to midwives at a birth center, if I did have pre-e, I would have to find a new caregiver as I would risk out of their care. I don't know whether this is enough to worry about calling them prior to my appt on Wednesday or if I should just wait. Thoughts?

I also am doing my glucose test on Wednesday and have convinced myself I will fail it...

TL;DR: I have been having some pre-e symptoms, do you think I should call my midwife before my scheduled appt on Wednesday?

Sorry you are worried! I would check your BP again and report all symptoms on Wed, but if you have concerns a call to the office never hurts, right? I hope it's nothing...

I've started getting a sore lower back and sore feet after or during busy days. So I'm getting a lot more tired at the end of the day now.

However, last night the freaking random stomach bug? Food poisoning? From hell and I'm sure being pregnant made it worse. I feel freaking awful today, my hips are sore, my head hurts, every muscle I try to use hurts. I haven't even gotten out of bed, H was also a little sick last night so he stayed home today to help. Besides DS sleeping for 15.5 hours last night, he seems fine. So I don't know what happened, but it was awful and the recovery feels just as bad.

I'm ok today - the usually heartburn and I've started to get leg cramps at night (which is a bummer - only part of me that can really stretch that delicious half asleep stretch is my lower half, and now it leads to a cramp), but I'm hoping extra water will help with that. Over all, I feel good though. I def. grunted getting off the couch last night and DH collapsed into giggles. He's lucky I was in a good mood.

I'm so sorry people are still dealing with bugs - I'm pretty sure having any type of stomach bug while pregnant is the worse thing ever, and having a cold without the meds is right up there! Feel better soon!

Had blood in my urine at my 24-wk appt today. They said it's prob nothing, a bladder infection if anything, and that baby girl is great with a strong HB. But now I'm totally freaked! Waiting for them to call back with the results of my urine culture.

Just feeling sore and large lately. My dr said I need to watch my weight gain from now on and I'm alternating between crying and being mad about that (even though I know she's right and I'll be a whale if I keep going at the rate of the past 2 months).Thanks hormones. I never imagined it would be humanly possible to pee this frequently either!

This was me all last night

[megd893]

Today is okay. The boy hasn't been moving a ton today, which is abnormal. I don't like when I can't feel him...

I've got 2 complaints - first is a raging headache that just won't quit. The other is I've started having anxiety attacks. I don't really know what triggers them, and most of the time I can breathe through them, but they are disruptive and no fun. Boooo
