Monday Symptoms and Such!

[mrsmonogrammed]

DH fiiiiiiinally felt LO move and now he's obsessed with resting his hands on my belly to feel her wiggle! It's actually very sweet:)

And besides tossing and turning 48205 times last night, no crazy symptoms over here.

[turtletyme]

Slept like shit. My case of the Mondays is my symptom!

[Bluedaisy]

Finally able to feel cheesebun move from the outside. My sinuses are a bit stuffed up but that's a normal weather change thing for me regardless of if I'm pregnant or not.

[wifedeangel]

I mentioned this on the Done thread, but spring allergies are kicking my butt. Last week I was complaining about the cold, and this week it's pollen. The weather just can't win with me. I miss being able to drug myself up properly. Otherwise, everything's the usual, hemorrhoids, heartburn, and hip pain.

[wink568]

Did not sleep last night, and as a result I'm extremely grumpy at work today. Here's hoping my coffee kicks in soon.

[ladysif]

I'm with all on the no sleep. Another. damn. cold. I have lost count but have been healthy for a total of 4-5 weeks since November. I blew the entire weekend I needed to get things done sleeping and being sick. As soon as I get the energy, I am getting DS dressed and driving through Starbucks. MOTY.

[mrskblack11]

I need some coffee.

[Deleted]

Also didn't sleep last night. Screw you first Monday after the time change. Screw you very much.

[lunalovegood]

Where did my feet go?!? I swear I just saw them last week! Socks are going to be my enemy for the next 13 weeks. I need warmer weather so I can just slip on sandals.
Also, I think my bladder ran away with my feet because I have to pee 412 times at night and it is getting old.

[neongreen]

Usually when DH gets up and goes to work (about 2-3 hours before I get up), I just roll over and go back to sleep. This morning I just could. not. get. comfortable. I think I wound up on my back for a while, assuming that my body would let me know if there was an issue.

And I have to get up early tomorrow. Ugh.

[mnp48]

I've been having achy/throbbing pain on my left side. It seems to be coming from my back and I can't seem to locate it to a muscle or link it to anything I did to cause it. According to my coworker and Dr. Google, it might be sciatica pain. I'll have it checked out on Friday at my monthly visit with the Dr. In the mean time, I'm a limping pregnant lady. Ugh.

[Widget123]

I hate the current state of my digestive system. I didn't get a lot of sleep either, but that was mostly due to DD's reaction to daylight savings time and my current cold.

[maddib]

Ugh all of this! Sleep is my biggest problem right now. Even with the snoogle I wake up constantly!! I just want to be comfortable again. For even a few hours.. And socks suck right now. I know my ankles have to be swollen I keep getting indentions marks and it itches!! Just so many FU's to everything right now..

[bruunk]

Restless sleep the last few nights. I slept, but lots of tossing and turning and heartburn - oh how I hate thee, Heartburn!! 

This morning, kiddo wasn't doing his normal dance number which of course has me worried. I'm sure it has to do with DST (he usually starts at around 7 am -- and I was walking and moving around by what would normally be 7 am so maybe I didn't feel it) and am trying to not be a SS and call the dr. I've felt a few flutters but not the usual "HELLO MOM" punches. I'm just blaming all on DST and will call if I haven't felt something by noon - is that too SS?


Edited because words are hard today

[upandbelow]

I am actually feeling awful today. I slept alright, but have the worst stomach pains. It also feels like morning sickness has come back, I'm queezy and just feeling like poop

[wormgerm]

Not to rub your noses in it but I felt really well rested this morning. To be fair I spent all of Friday night barfing and diarrheaing my brains out. Then I slept pretty much all of Saturday and took it easy Sunday. Fevers and headaches all weekend too. But I'm over it finally, so yay!

Today is all about pelvic pain and heartburn so far. That and suddenly I'm tired. Hah.

[beersandweirs]

I started my iron supplementation on Saturday morning, but I have to make sure I don't eat or drink anything with calcium within two hours of taking it, which is hard because I eat a lot of dairy now! Because of this, instead of splitting my iron into two doses, I just take it all at once. I think it may be making me feel a little off... I am super tired and kind of headachy, I don't know, could be unrelated.

[alayne926]

Ugh....add me to the no sleep list last night. DH and I had a major blow-up and I couldn't sleep after. I just ate some yogurt hoping that would get my digestive system moving. I had my appointment this morning with the Nurse Practitioner and talked to her about my breathing issues. I think she was wanting me to go to L&D today to get checked out, but she wanted to talk to the Dr. first to see if that is really what should happen.

I had a similar day yesterday where I felt less movement than I was used to. Then last night when I was trying to get to sleep Baby decided it was the perfect time to play the bongos in my belly. I couldn't help but giggle.

If you're really worried about it, it doesn't hurt to call the doctor. Hopefully they'll be able to reassure you.

[Girlymama79]

Braxton hicks to the max today, so I'm trying to take it easy and drink lots of water but I also really really want to be sewing stuff for the nursery.

[teenybird]

I have a cold, and I'm actually a little grateful for it because some asshole decided to bring fish for lunch today and I can't smell the reek fest because my nose is so incredibly stuffy. My ribs are effing killing me, and nothing seems to help except laying on my back (which I can't do because I get lightheaded and short of breath).

I'm also in the weirded out camp because all of jujube's "normal" patterns seem off today because of the stupid time change (that helps no one!!). I suppose I should add cranky lol...

One of my coworkers is being a total shit, and I'm trying not to revenge puke in his cube. It would be so easy to blame on the pregnancy, though, and I'm not sure I will ever have this kind of chance again to show him what I truly think of him...

I went and got a bagel and kiddo has since been moving - still not the movement I'm used to but enough to calm my SS nerves I keep reminding myself it's still early enough that doctors don't have track for a reason!

And can I whine about showers. The kind that make you not stink, not the kind with presents. Good thing I work mostly from home because I don't want to take them. Showering just sucks the life out of me and then I get out and have wet hair, which involves another hour on my feet having to blow dry and style it. On the days I do shower I end up just laying down the rest of the day because I'm so wiped out by basic hygiene. I have to go get in the shower right now to get ready for afternoon meetings and I'm dreading it. I miss loving long, hot showers.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I on the other hand LIVE in the shower now. I am no longer a land animal. I don't know the last time my hair was properly dry. Im in there 5 times a day and just stand under the water until the hot water runs out because its the only time my migraine is remotely tolerable. My bill was outrageous this month but whatever. Currently sitting towel wrapped and wet headed with an ice pack on my forhead and a heat pack on my neck. This has become a semi permanent state.

Today I stupidly tried to drive myself to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and had to pull over because I had such a wave of terrible feeling I thought I was passing out. I thought I could make it 3 blocks with the wrap around sun glasses on but it was admittedly stupid of me. Staying put from now on and practicing swallowing my pride. I really need to learn to ask for help when I need it. No more risky behaviors. Feeling like a bad Mama

[periwinkledaydreams]

I really should not be looking at the screen at all but damnit I miss you ladies.

I feel you on the migraines. I'm home sick with one today & I'm not sure if I'm feeling more sick from the accompanying nausea or the actual throbbing of my head. Wah. Hope you feel better soon. These pregnancy headaches are no joke.

Ughh for real! Thank you!! This is day 24 continuous since this one's original onset, and Ive begun to fear for my sanity. Hope you have better luck getting yours under control!

periwinkledaydreams January Harshe (birth without fear) had bad migranes during her pregnancy and after trying a bunch of remedies she went vegan for a while and they cleared up. After having her baby 5 weeks ago she went back to her regular diet and then switched back to veganism for the benefit of her and or her baby, I don't remember. I know for the majority of us that's really extreme but if it helps you find relief I thought you should know. You can read more about it on her instagram or blog.

[tiffbot]

Baby's got themselves in a position where I haven't felt it as much as I have been in the last week. But yesterday I was trying to awkwardly wipe myself after going to the bathroom because there was a leg or something stuck into my ribs and out and I physically could not maneuver myself the right way so it didn't hurt or dig even farther into my ribs! Crazy kiddo.

With the approval of my doctor, at this point, I would try anything! Thanks!

My body desperately wants to sleep (and almost does) from about 2pm to 6pm every day.  It also wants to be WIDEAFUCKINGWAKE from about 2am to 7am every day.  This is not really working out with my work schedule. *side eyes baby bump*
