On a scale of 1 to Pregnant, how are we feeling today?

[alayne926]

Surprisingly, I feel really well. I did not wake up with horrible hip pain this morning, my first outfit choice made me feel good, and DS got up with no fight.

[nicolec78]

I am feeling like super pregnant woman today. My back is killing me and I am sure that the drastic weather change in my area did not help!

[nicolec78]

Also picked up some shirts from Old Navy without trying them one. Three of the 10 fit my belly. They are all the same size and similar style!

Right now at about an 8 or 9! EDITED wait- I just reread the title..1 or 2 then! -
Usually by the time supper rolls around Im down to about a 4. Basically, I'm averaging 5 points higher on the scale than I did with DS by now I hope this sticks around awhile yet!!

[bendherova]

I'm prob 5-6. Back pain is better, but I'm a bit stiff. And then there's the constant heartburn.

I'm trying not to eat all of the food, but I am anyway. I just made a smoothie for sick again DS, so at least it's a healthier choice most of the time.

Also, DS2 seems to be as active in utero as Ds1 was (very!) so basically, I'm never going to sit down once DS2 is mobile.

I keep waking up and feel so weirdly not pregnant. I think it's a combination of baby getting to big to get wild in there and me accepting what my body is growing through. Or something.

But then I verbally abuse my boyfriend about rinsing out his milk cup because of how disgusting leaving that little ring in the bottom of the cup is. Then we all feel like I'm a 10. Not in a good way

[noeliav]

Pregnant.
I'm hungry and nauseated. I finished a quart of milk at work yesterday all by myself, and still had my glass of milk before bedtime.
I told DH that I feel like an elephant on stilts. My legs look like little toothpicks in relation to The Belly.
I want to take up permanent residence on the sofa or in bed and have people fetch things for me.

[bruunk]

I feel good today! No heart burn (thank you pepcid!!) last night, so I actually slept. Some weird vibes at work but I think it's going to be ok. If I smile and Pollyanna it, everything will be OK (right?!). My outfit makes me feel good, kiddo is having a dance rave all to himself and it's going to be a great day. (Please, I hope I can keep up the happy go lucky all day!)

[mrsdee1982]

Well, my feet are so swollen I could barely get my shoes on this morning. I have already spit out my first mouthful of stomach acid. I had a small bag of mini cadburry eggs for breakfast. I really feel like I need to poop, but I can't. And I am so hot I have already sweated off half my makeup.

So, I guess that puts me at a 10 on the pregnant scale.

But I'll gladly take it. Little girl is moving and grooving today, and DH was able to feel her for the first time last night.

Scale of 1-10? I'm at an 11. 24 hours in LD for IV fluids over the weekend, one day out and feeling better, and yesterday the refulx and barfing came back hard core. I threw up 7 times between noon and 11 pm. Doc is talking about the possibility that I may just have to check into LD on a weekly basis for fluids, if this keeps up. I want this baby out. Except not really, because he can't come out for at least 10 more weeks. I'm just so overwhelmed at the idea that I'm going to have to live with this for another two and a half months.

edited = words are hard

[tiffbot]

So sorry @jimbobcooter!

[mrsdee1982]

I'm sorry @jimbobcooter, that is really tough

[Widget123]

Im sorry things have been rough @jimbobcooter and i hope you start feeling at least marginally a little better soon!

I am just feeling a little full because i ate too much for lunch (oops) and a little bit of a cold, otherwise not too bad

[noeliav]

@jimbobcooter
I'm sorry, mama.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Feeling good today! I might be one of those mythical pregnancy unicorns because I swear, sometimes I can forget I'm pregnant. Aside from baby wiggling around I haven't had anything really "different" going on. I've got my flame resistant suit on for everybody who's not having an easy pregnancy, so sorry you guys are going through tough stuff!

Thinking of you @jimbobcooter FX baby boy gives you a break from feeling crappy:(

[wormgerm]

I feel good today. Only complaint is thankfully a small annoyance; my feet are hot hot hot!

Oh and the cutest thing happened earlier. I was rocking my nephew to sleep and when I stopped baby started kicking right under his hand. As he was drifting off to sleep his little relaxed hand was bouncing. Cousins.

[holliberry28]

I'm sorry you're going through this @jimbobcooter!

I feel like my bump has doubled in size this past week. A lot more movement today, but I still feel like this little guy isn't super active all the time like it seems you ladies talk about.

Effing Old Navy. They are so inconsistent with their sizes.

@jimbobcooter, that sounds awful! Hope you're getting a break today.

I'm maybe a 4, but it's late afternoon now. According to coworkers today I'm either "so tiny" or have "popped". I always thought the only appropriate thing to say to a pregnant woman is "you look great!", apparently this is not common knowledge.

Pretty pregnant! A complete stranger looked at my bump and congratulated me, first time this has happened. She also said something dumb along the lines of: "Of course this is your first, you're not old enough to have kids yet"
Bitch I'm almost 30! You don't know my lyfe! 

Shit I am almost 26 and this is my third!!

Ooh I'd take that compliment! Good for you! I'm 31 and no one has accused me of 1) looking young/great for my age or 2) glowing. Still waiting for that glow... I don't think the random red blotches that pop up on my face count.

[redlipz]

Feeling soooooooo tired, I just want to sleep all day and I have a little heartburn and a crazy Mexican jumping bean in my tummy. I'm feeling very pregnant.

Has anyone gotten a calf cramp that caused their calf muscle to be sore the rest of the day? Frick, it hurts.

yes- for more than 24h afterwards, actually.

Yep. I got one last Saturday and it hurt for 4 days afterwards.

Yes and the pain lasted for days. Drink water, eat potassium and try to stretch it out multiple times a day.

I feel like such a snowflake sometimes because I either forget I'm pregnant or look down and just wonder in amazement how a 3lb 15inch baby fits in there, and then get paranoid he is small. Then I shake my head at myself wondering where my logic has gone.

[mathistm]

I think baby smidge has the hiccups?! It's a constant small jump every 4-5 seconds and pretty rhythmic. Kinda cool!

[turtletyme]

Yikes @jimbobcooter! I hope this settles down soon, that's terrible. Really hope you can avoid weekly trips.

[Bluedaisy]

@jimbobcooter, I'm so sorry you're going through that!

@demanda88, calf cramps suck! I never really feel them the next day thankfully.

I'm totally with you.  I don't really feel pregnant at all.  Even now that baby is moving I still have trouble believing it's baby!

[sugarkissed]

Quite pregnant feeling today! I took DD to the mall this afternoon and now that we are home I need to bath her and get her ready for bed. I'm stuck on the couch too exhausted to think about climbing the stairs.
