Tuesday Symptoms Thread

[maddib]

Neck, back, hip, pelvic pain all the time!! And apparently I bit DHs head off this morning because he's going to work late and his alarm went off like seven times starting at five! I was half asleep but the last time it went off I was pretty irritable. I dont think I was that bad..

maddib, mine sets his alarm the same damn way! Every 15 minutes an alarm goes off starting at 5:45, which wakes up the dogs who then cry until I let them out. And if I don't kick DH out of bed by 6:30, I'll be running late and taking a cold shower...

He didn't even have to get up he just kept pushing snooze instead of turning it off! He won't go in until nine!! But he's all sulky in the living room now because I bit his head off..

I woke myself up snoring several times last night, and was in pain all night from my hips. I guess I over did it yesterday. This does not bode well for all the projects I want to get done before baby arrives.

[mathistm]

I feel like a congested snot monster and I feel big.

So the whole house is sick.. This sucks. When DD is sick we have to suction her nose out with this long catheter. I don't know if you guys have seen the feeding tubes that go in the nose but it's kind of like that. Well last night DH and I were curious as to what it felt like. So we got out a new one and tried it on ourselves. All I have to say is holy hell my daughter is so brave!! That shit sucked soooo bad!!!!! It's not a symptom I know but it was hilarious to see our faces when we did it. And my DD laughed her ass off at us. It went all the way down to my mouth and sucked all my saliva out. Let's just say I am way more careful and gentle now. Not that I wasn't before but shit my poor DD.

Pelvic pain has lightened up, but I still get It. Heartburn at night randomly. And I just had two wonderful days off from work but am so tired because my body didnt want to shut down to sleep. I also cant gk a single night without swearing to death. Other than that, feeling good!

I think I am developing an intolerance to dairy. Ice cream has been an issue for a little bit and now straight milk makes me sick. Just another day in the never ending saga of what exactly CAN I eat?

[periwinkledaydreams]

So so tired but cannot fall asleep. So so hungry but feel like barfing immediately every time I eat. On a better note, the higher dose of my migraine medication seems to be finally taking the edge off the past couple of days. I actually left my dark house a few times and yesterday managed a couple hours out and about taking care of business that seriously needed taking care of. Im still not cleared to drive (for good reason.. I still cant keep my eyes open/see all the time) which really SUCKS depending on other people to get around, but I'm really trying to learn to accept the help!

[wormgerm]

I just realized tomorrow is April. Only 2 more full months max to myself before I have a child to worry about forever. *gulp* That makes me feel dizzy. Sweaty palms. Holy crap. It's coming so fast. Baby classes start next week. I can't believe we're here.

Pelvic pain especially every time I get up. Tightness in my lower belly when I get up too. Getting out of my husband's Forrester is especially uncomfortable.

SO nauseous today... Am hoping it's just growing LO causing it, but DH said he's not feeling well either so I'm guessing a stomach bug is coming our way. Ugh.

It also hit me yesterday that I need to stop carrying things and over exerting myself beside my muscles are so sore today! Trying to drink lots of water and rest.

[sgarmand]

I'm less than a week shy of what I'm considering third tri and my nausea is officially back. Awesome.

[noeliav]

Let's see. I'm so thankful that my boss saw fit to share her cold with me. I can't foffing breathe through my face.

Pregsomnia is back with a vengeance. I couldn't fall asleep until well after 11:30pm (I'm usually a 9pm and done sort of gal), and then I was up every two hours to pee (of course) and then I was awake from 3:30am to 6:00am and DD woke for good at 6:30am.

Oh, and I puked in the car this morning on my commute, so there's that fabulousness.

Clearly, I'm loving today. /sarcasm

I became lactose intolerant while pregnant with my DD.  It sucked because it was summer time and everyone was enjoying themselves!

[ajm11]

I keep having pelvic pain on my left side that radiates into my left thigh and upper leg. I feel like a SS, because I almost asked Dr. Google if it was normal. I'm guessing it's just baby's position. She seems to move around a lot.

Grumpy because of lack of sleep.

Does anyone feel like they're being passed over or slightly written off in a sense, at work? Since I'm going to be gone for 14 weeks starting at the end of June, I've pretty much been written off for a huge part of our year when a lot of our work takes place. I know they're not doing it on purpose, but it still sucks to feel like you're being left out of a big part of the workload. Not to mention, I feel like I'm taking a step back. I feel like I finally understand all these things I've read about having kids being hard on a woman's career.

I actually feel the opposite. In goal setting for this year, they've added another state to my territory and a significant revenue increase all in the last week. I keep reminding them that 1) I lost 3 months of potential booking since it's basically April, and 2) I will be out for an additional 3 months starting in June... But no one seems to care. On the one hand, I'm glad they think I can handle it, but on the other I've already mentally prepared to not hit my numbers this year.

That would be really stressful. I think it's probably tough either way. I feel like my managers are trying to make things really, really easy on me because they know I dont want to travel and it also happens that our busiest time falls from July 1-September 30th which are exactly the months that I'm gone. They can't change that because we have external parties relying on that work so there's really nothing that can be done. I just don't like the feeling of falling behind but at the same time, I would be really upset if they added a bunch of work to my plate and didnt take into consideration me leaving. It sounds like you're in sales and I can't imagine how hard it would be to take 3 months off in that kind of career!

I understand your frustration @demanda88, I guess try to count your blessings.

In theory things should be less busy around my office while I am gone because we are supposed to get our biggest audit out before then, even though it is usually the busiest time of the year.  But I know how much is left to be done and it makes me nervous.  If I can avoid having tons of things on my plate to get done before I leave and not have anything big happen while I'm gone, that would be great

Wait, Widget123 are you an auditor too?

I am on the management side of it now, but yes.

[maddib]

I have a cold and sinus thing and my left ear is muffled!! I have tried everything I can think of! Does anyone know of a way to make it stop??? It's so annoying!

I completely agree that it's difficult in either situation! I'm sure you are feeling like they are leaving you out and you don't want to feel like you aren't valued which would be so tough.  It's great that they are so understanding though!   I am in sales but luckily I am in a management role as well so there will be someone covering my mat leave 100% so nothing falls to the wayside, but it's still hard to let go of control. I'm sure it will take me the first month of mat leave to not check my email at all and truly embrace the time off!

I have actually been feeling pretty great lately, but the baby weight is starting to take a toll on me. I haven't been super active this pregnancy and got super winded walking up steps and around the house we are buying the home inspection. I started off all hung ho and wanted to be involved in everything, but after 3 hours and a dozen times up and down the stairs I gave up and waited in a chair.

I'm not really sure when I became so needy and clingy with my husband. This must be a newish pregnancy symptom. He just told me has to travel for work next week & I was legitimately sad about it. Normally, I don't care all that much but I actually really, really dont want him to go. Sniffle...

I feel the same way. I was bummed that DH was working today because I completely forgot. He told me he was on his way into work when I was leaving my work I told him "You just ruined my day"

I feel like I'm humungous and moving so slowly these days! Not to mention, it's legitimately hard for me to get around. The walrus roll out of bed, getting off the couch, getting in and out of the car. I think I never really believed how difficult it is for pregnant women to move around.

Aw I feel ya, I'm not normally clingy at all but my DH is leaving tomorrow for his brother's bachelor weekend in the mountains and I'm legit sad about it.

My back is killing...I need one of those belts like yesterday! Also my IBS has been out of control today b/c I had to skip my meds, supplements and a meal yesterday for my GD test. I haven't run to the bathroom this much the whole pregnancy, but I have to say that it's nice to poop like a real person for once.

My stomach is starting to become beyond crazy itchy when I wear maternity pants with a full panel. Like, insanely, unsatisfiable, non stop itchy. I love full panels for their support, but I can't handle the itch. I want to live in my yoga pants since they are pretty much the only maternity pants I have without a full panel. I need to get some capris and shorts soon, and I'm not looking forward to it because I know I'll be tempted to buy panels when trying them on, but then I will hate myself.

I noticed this too! The non-full panels though are so uncomfortable to me so I just deal with the itchy full panels.

I make SO gas up my car for me just so I wont have to roll in and out of it. I will also have him pass me stuff if we are on the couch just so I wont have to bend to get it. he is so patient.
