I woke up around 1:40 this morning because I was getting hot. Decided I might as well go pee since I was awake (I NEVER have to get up to pee during the night). Then couldn't fall asleep again until around 3, at 3:30ish I went to stretch my legs and ended up with a huge Charlie horse in my right calf (it's still sore now at 10:30pm!) finally began to drift back off and the alarm went off at 4 for DH and again at 4:30 for me. It's been a long day! Other than that all seems well today!
I feel pretty great today. Back to 8+ hours straight of sleep last night and I actually flat ironed my hair this morning before work. It's getting harder and harder to make it up the 6 flights of stairs at work each day though!
How in the world can you sleep through the night? You must have the nicest (ie furthest from your bladder) baby ever!! I was so excited I only woke up twice last night. It's been 3-5 times for weeks now.
I don't know, but I'm not going to question it! lol Maybe she's really high up? I definitely feel her up in my ribs a lot!
Man oh man. In the shower this morning, I felt a rather large bulge on the undercarriage. I made the mistake of checking it out with a mirror, and I have developed the most enormous (although thus far painless) hemorrhoid in the world. It's like my butthole is trying to escape from my body. so intense.

I was super confused at this thread when I started reading and saw demanda post and a neongreen post - but then I realized it was an old Wednesday symptom thread that was revitalized!
I have one spot in my back and one spot in my belly, almost a straight shot across from each other that are killing me right now. No matter how I sit, it hurts so bad

Me too, I think I even started love titting. Sorry if someone just got a notification from a month and a half ago, ha.

My back hurts, been contracting and have "cramps" on my lower left side since yesterday. Other than that and my vag feeling like it gonna fall off, everything's good.
I've been pretty MIA lately as I've hit a really rough patch the past month and a half, and really crashed this last week. Been dealing with chronic migraine all 2nd tri that has me pretty much bedridden in the dark in agonizng pain all day every day and a slew of doctors messing with meds trying to get it under control. Last week I went a full seven days without falling asleep at all. I ended up being taken to the ER by ambulance during a PT appointment because my bloodpressure was scary low and I almost passed out. My OB followed up then and turns out I had also lost 6 pounds since I saw her last. She had me admitted to L&D all weekend on IV fluids just at least trying to get me to fall asleep, and to get the migraine somewhat under control. Its been quite hellish on my body and my mental state, but through all of this my baby girl seems to be completely unphased. She maintains her strong heartbeat and growth and that's my silver lining. I'll be seeing a high risk MFM from now on which gives me some comfort because I am terribly anxious and afraid of all the pain I've been in, of how sad I've become, and mostly of how much medication I've been given.
I did finally admit that there is so much going on and that I am feeling overwhelmed, depressed, sad and anxious and that I want to talk to someone, and had my OB refer me to a therapist. For a while I rationalized that because I knew exactly why I felt this way, that it wasn't necessary, but it is. I also joined up on the PPA/PPD board for some extra support. I want to encourage anyone else who may be struggling with similar feelings to reach out of course first to your doctor for support, and also know that a board exists for this with resources linked.
Whew sorry for how long my post just became! It's been awhile. Today my headache is at about a 6 out of 10, which is bearable, so I'll take it. Perhaps I'll try to accomplish something tangible. I already pretended to get dressed for HDBD lol!
I'm so sorry you went through that. Glad you are getting help and I wish I could cure migraines. Keep us posted if you need anything.
I'm struggling to decide whether these last few weeks are better or worse than the first few weeks of pregnancy. Leg cramps = check. Heartburn and reflux = check. Fatigue = check. Major mood swings = check. Constant peeing/loss of bladder control = check. Constipation = check. Back and sciatic pain = check. And now, allergies + UTI to add to the fun = check! This has not been my week. Ok, I'm done complaining for the moment.
And on the upside, DH brought me home 2 pints of water ice from Rita's tonight - one mint chocolate chip and one cherry, so I wouldn't have to choose. ❤️
