Damn Monday Morning! Symptoms and such!

[wormgerm]

My left deep butt cheek pelvis lower back region is back to being awful again. Lightening bolts when I move. And just for fun I accidentally just bent my big toe nail back closing my nephew's door and it's bleeding. Woo. Hoo.

[upandbelow]

I feel awful! Nauseous, dizzy and cramping. This is lame

[mrsmonogrammed]

My upper back hurts after all my activity yesterday....maybe wasn't the best idea to hit the outlet mall, take the dog for a walk, and vacuum the entire house including the stairs yesterday.
Speaking of: feeling like a Josie Grossie because when I vacuumed I had to empty the thing FOUR times. I'm just going to blame that on my dog shedding for the spring and not the fact that I haven't vacuumed upstairs for weeks.....

[lunalovegood]

I am actually hoping I have some sort of stomach bug and the puking all day yesterday and so far today is not going to be a consistant third tri thing. The zofran doesn't even touch the nausea I'm feeling.
Also, I might need to look into other sleeping arrangements for myself and DH. I feel like he is taking up the whole bed and he sleeps so hard. I just end up looking at him in the middle of the night and want to punch him because I can't sleep.

[mrskblack11]

I am not having heartburn, but I do have acid reflux.

I am jealous of everyone that is on Spring Break. I just want to curl up on the couch and watch movies all day.

[wegrowsheep]

There's a starling in my fireplace. Fml.

Also, I have to get weighed today at my appt. Boo!

[islandgirl14]

DS woke up crying at 2am and couldn't put himself back down, nor could I, but thankfully DH could. Naturally I couldn't fall asleep for like 2 hours after that. I've been nauseous all morning, and a bit last night, and I don't know if it's pregnancy nausea, or over-tired nausea from lack of sleep last night, or, if it's because I'm about to get the stomach flu... We were at some friends house Friday night, and Saturday morning we got a text saying that the stomach flu hit their house over night. Ugh... And that was after we all hugged, were together for several hours, ate the food they prepped, etc etc. Grumble grumble!!! I pray we don't get the flu... I don't have time to miss work whether it be for me being sick, or to stay home with DS... it's tax season and there is only a month left!! Gah!

p.s. @demanda88 that sounds awful!! I hope you get over the sickness soon!!

[bruunk]

Heartburn - I hate it. Wakes me up at 2:30 am on the dot every night, no matter what I eat, what I drink, before bed. This morning my throat feels like I spent the night puking all night (I didn't) and my gag reflex is just on point now -- I had to run to the bathroom after coughing thanks to my gag reflexes working SO well. Teeth brushing is also really interesting.

I may have lost my rosy pink colored glasses - I may be nearing the I'm done stage. I'm sick of feeling like this (low on sleep, throat on fire, slightly nauseous, body not mine). Can I just sleep through the next 14 weeks?

[wormgerm]

I forgot to add that my heels are killing me. Did a bunch of walking (shopping) on Saturday and was so sore in knees and hips the next day. But even before that my heels were sore at the first stop of the day! Then yesterday we did a normal Target run and my heels were aching before we even finished. My weight, post stomach flu, is a pound below my weight when I got my BFP. The midwives only want me to gain 10 lbs this entire pregnancy due to my starting weight. It's amazing how my spine and pelvis are shifting makes it feel like I've gained 50 pounds.

[neongreen]

I had my 3-hour GD test today. Oh my god, I hope I never have to fast for 12 hours again during this pregnancy. I was a hot mess when I woke up, to the point where I almost called my mom to come drive me the five minutes to the lab because I wasn't sure getting behind the wheel of a car was such a good idea. I actually felt BETTER after drinking the orange stuff because at least it was something heavier than water going into my stomach.

When I went out to my car after the test, there was the biggest, messiest, most disgusting clump of Canada goose shit smeared all down my driver's door and window. I seriously just stood there looking at it for a good couple minutes, unable to comprehend what to do with my life. I managed to get in the car (finding the one clean spot on the handle) and started cleaning it when I got home. I was one of those lucky people who had zero morning sickness this pregnancy and I thought I was going to start puking in the middle of my driveway (I was definitely dry heaving). It was GROSS.

Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Just bigger and it's not that easy to get around.

[mathistm]

Have we had a sexy time check in lately? I don't think I ever went through the wanting it all of the time stage but now a week from third trimester I feel like that! It couldn't happen when my life wasn't awkward and uncomfortable? But now when moving in general is becoming a major task in itself here we are.

[pghtruelove]

Had a panic attack at the dr this morning and now about to get on a plane to FL by myself. I'm excited to see my friends and my cat (I'm bringing him home with me!) and he nice weather in absolutely terrified I'm gonna have a panic attack while I'm alone and make a fool of myself on the plane. Sigh.

[noeliav]

I want to put mustard on my cheddar cheese stick. I'm pretty certain that's a symptom

[teenybird]

I got a rebound YI from the antibiotic goo I had to use two weeks ago after the whole BV debacle. Means more goo for me ugh. Other than that, the damn reflux woke me up with dragon breath and gasping to breathe the other night, so I'm now practically sitting up in bed because I've padded up as many pillows as I could find (I was nice, though, I let DH keep his...for now lol).

Just got cleared to go home to see my folks in April, so I'm actually quite giddy today. I think the sunshine is making me hypomanic haha...Must put energy to good use nesting!! *flaps wings and caws*

[brennaz]

I want to throat punch my coworker.

Me: "I have to leave at 1pm."
Her: "Oh, so let me just leave at ten minutes to 1, without any warning, and not come back for 45 minutes, leaving you here by yourself and unable to leave..."

Bitch. I'm going to end up eating take out for lunch because I'm fucking starving, and have no clue when the hell she is coming back. Except that, oh yea, I CAN'T LEAVE TO GET ANYTHING.

<---Not. Amused.

I picked up a winters worth of dog shit (x2) today. Now I'm rewarding myself with doing nothing until it's time to cook dinner. It's 65 degrees here today so I have all the windows open and it smells so good in here.

As for symptoms.. people are fucking annoying and I have no patience/tolerance for them. Is that a symptom?

Yes, because I definitely have this too!!

I almost punched an older woman at the supermarket today after she cut me off with her cart going in, and then put it in front of the baskets (which I needed) while she took her sweet ass time putting her bags in the recycling bin. When I tried to get around her, she just glared at me and refused to move, blocking the whole entrance. She finally slooooooooowly went inside, making sure to look at all the newspapers and advertisements on the wall along the way.

I probably muttered "bitch" a bit louder than I should have. Oh well, better than punching, right?

+1.

BIL asked us this weekend if scheduling his wedding 5-6 weeks after baby's due date would be a deal-breaker for us because they suddenly found a venue they really want. (previous plan was to wait until next summer). SERIOUSLY? As if you're really giving us a choice; this is like the one thing you know we can't say no to because technically, we could, and obviously it is insanely important to you or you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question you should know the answer to if you knew anything about having a newborn. Is it incredibly stupid, risky, and will be the worst, most difficult time ever, especially for me? Yes. Driving there is not an option, we'd have to fly as it is cross-country. Exposing my infant to god knows what on nasty airplanes, not to mention the complexity of dealing with a nursing newborn and toddler on my own because DH will be in the wedding... I am completely stressed about it and am probably going to cry if they actually go through with it. End rant.

Has anyone had Braxton Hicks contractions? I had some mild cramping (like period cramps) and my uterus was really tight and hard. It stopped after a minute or so. Totally weird, but I'm guessing it could be BH? Baby is still kicking and moving a bit, so I'm not worried.

Also, my blood pressure was high today when I took it. I was monitoring daily, and my doc told me it's been so good that I didn't have to do that anymore. He said once a week was sufficient. Now I'm stressed because I had a high reading. Which was probably a result of finding out I failed my glucose test. Blah. Vicious cycle of suck.

Sounds like BH to me. I have been getting them a lot recently but it's worth speaking to your midwife about them and your blood pressure for peace of mind.

[erbear]

I've finally got the magical swollen feet and ankles! I want to take a walk but it's probably for the best I stay on the couch.

Sounds about right to me. Welcome to the BH club. I'm using them to practice my relaxation breathing for labor

[ThePalindromicOne]

Either it's my baby or my organs that are wedged up under my ribs now and it's uncomfortable that I just want to do a backbend to stretch out the space.. which I'm pretty is against medical advice (like I could do it if I tried). I've got my heartburn under control with Ranitidine (Zantac) 75mg in the morning and 1 TUMS before bedtime (I was waking up in the night with heartburn if I didn't take it... as a pharmacist I'm surprised it's actually working to help me through the night). I'm achy from all the extra lbs, but I'm starting my weekly prenatal massages so I'm hoping that helps a bit. My BH haven't been painful thank goodness, but I definitely notice when the bump is tight and hard!

[belle0720]

ThePalindromicOne I've definitely been feeling baby moving around all up in my ribs the past few days! It's super uncomfortable and just makes me want to lay back, not the most ergonomic position to sit in at work...

[neongreen]

My twins have been in the "bunk bed" position since at least the NT scan. The techs kept telling me they usually rotate to side-by-side...lolNOPE. Baby B has been way up in my ribcage for a while now. She was punching me beneath my right boob for a while (which looked...interesting), but yesterday and today she was beating me up on the left.

All while Baby A merrily drifts all over the place down below. Should be interesting to see what their personalities are like when they're on the outside.

[gilder40]

hb4 I am already monitored because of my blood pressure, so I'll take a reading or two each day for the next couple of days. If it remains elevated, I'll call my doctor for sure to discuss how to best address it. I'll also mention the possible BH when I call them.

[leenziepops]

This is probably TMI but really, I think I've shared more things with this board than with my BFF at times. DH told me that my vagina looks bigger. Thanks DH. Something else for me to feel self conscious about. Anyone else?

I hear you. DH told me my nipples are larger- which made me really upset because I'm already self conscious about them. Men are not the most considerate creatures, are they?

I completely expected the nipple increase and it happened for me around 10 weeks. But a bigger looking vagina. WTF. I'm now waiting to see if they just continue to grow out of control or something freaky and I'll be tucking them into my panties like balls. PG brain talking right now.

Can't breathe at night if I don't wear one of those nose strips that pulls your nostrils open. Can't wear the nose strip every night because it pulls the skin off my nose when I take it off. Going to punch the happily sleeping husband someday, I swear he looks smug in his sleep about how well he's sleeping.
