Thursday Symptoms 4/2

[ThePalindromicOne]

How you guys feeling today?

[ThePalindromicOne]

I've got a new one for me. My left hand goes numb and tingly in the middle of the middle of the night (like when your foot falls asleep). It's so strange... but it does go away. Is this what carpal tunnel feels like?

ETA: this appears to be exactly what carpal tunnel feels like after a quick google. So the obligatory "anyone else been experiencing this?" (Seems to be common in pregnancy) and any tricks and tips that have worked for you?

Broke down and took a tylenol PM last night and I finally got more than 3-4 hours of sleep, yahoo!! Heartburn is still there but my main issue is I somehow tweaked my left upper back muscle and it is on fire! I bought those heat patches (doc approved) and it worked last night. This morning the pain is slowing creeping back up and I know by the end of the day it will be unbearable. Ugh! There definitely needs to be a prenatal massage in my future...

I am so over this virus!!! DD still has it and I have it and DS has it!! None of us are getting better. I am afraid of making DD more sick but I have no nurse and have to do all her care. Lots of antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer for me. It's been two weeks for DD and I am going on 4 days. Enough is enough already!!!! I am OVER it!!

Back pain is in full force this week. Stretching and my chiro help, but it is always temporary relief. I feel like a log when I roll out of bed - even DH has to give me a little push. Pathetic.

Apparently, I've entered third tri puke fest. So, there's that, to go with the shooting pains in my lower back and hips.

Okay I have a question, and I feel like a total newbie asking this. Is anyone else having what I presume to be round ligament pain like every day? Not necessarily all day, but still every day? I just have this constant crampy/achy/sore feeling waaay low in my pelvic area (like under my belly), which I'm assuming to be RLP. I just don't remember having it this frequently and this late in my pregnancy last time. I'm almost close to calling my OB, but thought I'd see if anyone else was having it on a regular basis??

I get this almost every night (and have for about 2 months now). I went to target/Walgreens and bought some wrist braces that I sleep in. It helps quite a bit, but does take some getting used to.

Extra is hanging out in the ribs again today (and rolling around like a tumbleweed) other than that, I'm constantly hungry and really tired (this rainy day isn't helping)

This has been me lately in response to everything.

Same. And also...WTF is with these leg cramps??? It's like getting multiple charley horses every day! I understand why my back hurts but the leg/foot cramp thing is definitely my least favorite symptom these days! 

[mrsmonogrammed]

My rings are starting to get tight:( and while I expected it at some point, I'm still feeling (probably unreasonably) sad about it!

ThePalindromicOne, massages help. I ask the lady at the nail salon to rub my hands and arm longer than normal because it feels soooo good.

I believe I have my first internal hemorrhoid. Oh joy.

+1 for heart burn!

Peanut has been hanging out under my ribs and now my entire right side is tender to the touch. Child move please? Go play on my bladder or something...

Me too! I can feel that she has moved closer to my ribs. She has been kicking that area, and it's become sore. So strange! I'm relieved to hear someone else is having that same sensation.

I have been getting what feels like shin splints with the pain radiating to the bottom of my feet. It's no bueno! I guess I need to start being more aware of my foot apparel.

After a fairly decent second tri where I actually was pretty much feeling normal, holy the third tri exhaustion has hit me today. My muscles feel weak and it's been a lot of work just doing simple tasks today. I'm probably not drinking enough water now for the extra weight I'm carrying around, I've done pretty good that way but have definitely been slacking which I'm sure isn't helping

Lightning boob.

I've been almost in tears over this. I also have been having a burning sensation most of the day. Tylenol takes away the pain for a little while. I'm wondering if its a UTI or just RLP?  

Edited to add: I also never felt like this with my first pregnancy. It's killer!

Couldn't fall asleep last night, but I'm not as tired today as I expected.


There has been so much poop today. Woah.

Thanks roo54 and  Kristykristyleelee, for the response back! It really is awful... I have to walk at a snails pace to tolerate it. Not that I'd be walking all that fast anyways, but it's so slow that it's a bit ridiculous. For what it's worth, I did call my OB, and just as I suspected, RLP, but also because this far along baby is sitting lower in the pelvic region etc. Also that subsequent pregnancies are more painful typically (yay). So, they said to make sure that I'm drinking enough water, take Tylenol if/when needed, and to make sure when I get home from work to rest and put my feet up.

I feel like it's going to be a long remaining 12 weeks if I feel like this now...

I like that description! Baby girl has been all up in my ribs the past couple of weeks and I usually describe her movements as swimming around or trying to get out. Crazy how much they move! I think I'm actually going to miss it once the baby is born though.

I feel ya! This morning is much better than yesterday, I dont need tylenol and I'm not in tears over it. 

My feet starting swelling as well, so that's pretty awesome. Can't wait to see how bad they get this time! 9 weeks to go....
