Tuesday Symptoms/Rants/Randoms

What's going on today ladies?

[kemdupuis]

I just drank the disgusting glucose drink. LO is going nuts down there and I feel nauseous. I hope this day improves from here!

[belle0720]

After bragging about how I've been sleeping 8+ straight hours through the night, I woke up at 4AM this morning and had to pee. Probably took me about 1/2 hour to get back to sleep but it was that much harder to get up when my alarm went off at 5:45.

Also, I'm feeling a bit hormone ragey this morning. Our admin at work has been getting on my nerves--but I'm always nice to her and just vent to my H about it later. Well this morning she sends an Outlook invite out for my work baby shower and she spelled my name wrong! I know, it's something so little to get annoyed about, but it drives me NUTS when people spell my name wrong especially when it's sitting right in front of them in Outlook. So I let her know that she spelled my name wrong and she was super lame about it and wouldn't update it! Pretty sure you should make sure you spell the guest of honor's name right when you send out and invitation to a party for them. Also, there are people on the invite list that I don't even know, hopefully they don't come because that's just awkward. End silly rant.

I slept for a complete 3 hour block of time last night before waking up to pee or move or with leg cramps. It was glorious! Today is going to be a good day!

[maddib]

I actually slept decent last night due to DD doing better and NOT needing suctioned every five minutes! Her alarms only went off twice all night!!!! And I only peed twice last night! That's pretty huge because normally I pee every hour. And I had to buy panty liners yesterday because I am leaking pee at night?? I wake up in the morning and my underwear is wet!! Do any of you ladies have this problem?

Hips back and pelvic still hurt soooo bad in the mornings and it hurts to get out of bed and roll over. I have also noticed that laying on my right side makes my belly hurt? Is this normal?

[bruunk]

I hit a wall today. Which sucks because I'm not even that close to the end of the journey. I'm starting to feel exhausted like in the first trimester and between heart burn and pelvic aches and not feeling like my body is mine, I'm kinda done. And then it dawned on me that my pregnancy belly won't just magically go away when baby is born (I knew this logically... I did!) and I nearly cried really big fat tears at work. I am ready for my body to be mine. I miss sleeping on my belly, I miss rolling over with ease, I miss walking/moving at my normal rate. Sigh. I'm hoping this is a hormonal little blip and I can put the rosy "I GOT THIS" glasses back on.

I can feel DS2 moving right above my cervix and three inches over my belly button at the same time now. I cannot believe he is that big.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Soooo sleepy lately, especially after lunch! I swear I'm still going to bed at a normal hour but no matter what I'm thisclose to falling over at my desk.

I also have a feeling I'm going to start getting that "alien belly" look while LO moves around soon...her movements are much stronger and she has managed to knock my hand off the belly a few times. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the weirdness on tape when the time comes!

maddib I'm glad to hear your DD slept better last night.

Heartburn and reared its ugly head. I've suffered the last week with it. It's gross. Thank god for tums. I'm still exhausted and it's not helped by DD who is waking up at night needing mommy. And of course, restless leg syndrome can go away too. Joys.

[missjenniebean]

Insomnia and heartburn are back! The pelvic area soreness is gone today but I am sure it will be back. Could really go for a nap but I am at work and even if I wanted to nap we all know not possible!

maddib - I always have to wear panty liners. Always. Especially at night or I feel as if I wet myself! I hate it! I miss sleeping freely.

[carolyngrace]

maddib, definitely. That's what prompted my one "scare" so far this pregnancy. They were so wet I thought my water was leaking! The nurse said that it can "pool" inside of you and come out in the morning. Though i'm not sure how that's happening since I'm up every 2 hours to pee!

@jimbobcooter, I've been feeling shocked at how big DB is as well! At my appt yesterday the midwife showed me his butt (up by my right rib) and his head (way down below my belly button). At the same time I felt him kicking over on the left side. He's reaching every inch of me! Not gunna lie, it terrifies me for him to grow 2 more months!!

[PurpleIris]

I get Braxton Hicks when I pee if I have to go badly (and I'm drinking tons of water so that's...often). It's annoying so I try to pee slower but I can't because I have to go. Good times.

[leenziepops]

I can't seem to wake up on time to be at work on time. I started at 10am twice this week. I'm so exhausted and now I have extra hours to make up which I don't have the energy for.
Towards the evening, my belly button gets sore especially when I sneeze or laugh.

I was lying on my side and I could feel LO tickling one side and kicking the other. I'm not sure how he's doing it but it felt like I had two babies in there. It was a trippy feeling. 

[missjenniebean]

LO hasn't been to active recently but did happen to shake my entire belly area when I was reading.

I have hit that same wall. I mean I could have wrote that post today! I came in and flung myself on the bed (a very careful sideways grunting "flung" of course ) and I actually did start bawling big tears. All from being Done! My DH walks in to ask me what's wrong and immediately turns the light out and walks out after seeing the look on my face. I feel like I cannot do anything after working all day. I really want to, but I physically can't . All you ladies who are caring for toddlers/other children while pregnant are my heroes. I salute you for real! This heartburn is of the devil. I miss the days when I could eat what I wanted and it was good and not painful. I feel very out of control. Tears made me feel better though so I'm glad that's over.

[bruunk]

MisDawnD I've fought the tears all day, which was really hard once DH came home and seems totally freaking clueless. He's awesome, yet totally clueless right now. I asked him to feed the cat... He went into his office. Thanks dude. Maybe crying will make it all feel better.

[redlipz]

Oh the pelvic and back aches....I work on my feet and it's super uncomfortable now. I even had to cook dinner sitting down tonight.

I said something similar... I swear baby boy is horizontal because I can feel him on the left and right sides of my abdomen all the time!

Ugh. They can be so clueless. I came home from church Sunday around 1pm and DH was playing video games. Fine, he stayed home to relax. But then he asked ME what I was thinking for lunch. Um... I'm pregnant and just spent 4 hours doing shit this morning. You couldn't have maybe had something ready? 

Then again, he's always needed to have a list in front of him to be helpful, so I'm not sure why I was surprised. 

[laurenlou83]

I can feel him in 2 different spots, too, and it's so weird!! I had a growth US yesterday and it basically showed he was folded in half.... his foot was in front of his face somehow, along with both of his hands. I think I feel his head on one end and his butt on the other then! No idea, but he looked pretty comfy in there!

Back pain, oh the back pain. I saw the chiropractor this morning, and I'm a little sore now, but I know it'll feel better later today. He also put some kinesio tape on me, so I hope that helps, too!
