Monday Symptoms 4/6

[ThePalindromicOne]

How ya'll feeling?

[ThePalindromicOne]

Carpal tunnel persists... incredibly painful in both hands. Here's hoping massages, icing, and night time braces keep it manageable!

Is making me forget all other symptoms though

[sapphyre0702]

Exhausted. Like hard to function exhausted. I'm hoping it is just the result of a busy weekend combined with Monday and not my new normal.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Dull back pain....I'm really over it! I feel like I'm 100 when I get up from a sitting position. I had hoped to put this off until closer to 36 weeks or so! Wishful thinking obviously;)

[holliberry28]

So tired. And getting ridiculously overheated very quickly. I think I have to go to work naked because every other train ride, the heat makes me feel like I'm gonna pass out. Anyone else get dizzy from being too hot?

I get nauseous from being too hot... makes for a rough commute to work if the bus driver has the heat cranked up!

Over did it this weekend, and so tired today. If I can get laundry and grocery shopping done today, it will be a miracle.

[mrskblack11]

Just tired. Not sure if that is pregnancy related or just because it is Monday.

[Bluedaisy]

Heartburn has kicked in....hope it means a baby with hair!

[roo54]

I have a UTI. Horrible pain on top of being so freaking tired. Can't wait for June to get here.

[lunalovegood]

Can we just skip Monday? That would be great.

[maddib]

Back, hip and pelvic pain constantly! I feel like it's all going to shatter every time I move!! It does not make for a comfortable night. And getting up to pee six times a night I moan and groan all the way to the bathroom. Ugh. And tired. Always tired.

[mcp6286]

I ALWAYS feel full after just a few bites of food. I get the urge to eat and then I get that gross, nauseous-full after a tiny portion. This morning I ate half a granola bar and felt bleh. My IBS is not a fan of this eating routine. On the upside, I've had normal-person poops the past few days thanks to my angry digestive tract. Ya win some, ya lose some...

My uterus just hurts from like 4pm onward, every day. Add that to the list of things I never thought I'd say. My OB says it isn't BH...just muscle soreness from all the extra weight. I got the Belly Bandit this weekend so we'll see if it helps. I read the instructions and am seriously doubting my ability to make this thing work...holy complicated directions!

I told everyone over the weekend that I will no longer be making plans in advance or driving to NJ to visit. If they want to see me, they can text me that day and come up here if I feel good. Sorry not sorry. My back/leg pain is out of control if I drive for an extended time and having plans makes me want to cry because I can't predict how umcomfortable/irritable I'm going to be in advance. Like mrsmonogrammed, I did not anticipate being here already at 29 weeks. It makes me really nervous for those last few weeks in June...

[alayne926]

Oh the pelvic pain....I feel like this kid is just going to drop out of me. Eventually my body is just going to say, "F-it, we're done!"

[nettje]

Hello swelling! The cankles appeared last night after being on my feet for too long. And tingles down the legs as well.

I'm pretty tired too... I'm going to give my toddler credit for that though... She crawled into our bed just before 5am this morning and had to ask: "where's kitty?" Thank goodness she fell asleep until 7am again.

@pcrunk all food is going in my mouth right now too. I think ive gained 5 pounds in less than a week.

[belle0720]

I'm sure I've said it before, but man I'm going to need to join a nudist colony. Nearly naked is so much more comfortable than wearing clothes.

[ladymouse]

I was miserable until about 28 weeks. This past week, I've had about 3 days were I was able to function like a human being for most of the day (no pain-related nausea? SCORE!) It's amazing. Only thrown up once since I hit the third trimester. Not feeling so much like I've been kicked in the groin for hours a day. Have GD (barely, and manageable by diet), so not able to eat a heck of a lot of "fun" stuff, but I did find some low GI, no-artificial-sweetener ice cream (it's unsurprisingly not very sweet but it fills the craving for creamy frozen stuff.) DS is finally used to walking beside me instead of being carried (temper tantrums not withstanding) and is getting better about following directions, which is partly responsible for the decreased SPD. The mood swings have started, though (or DH was having a super oblivious/careless weekend and my desire to run him over with the lawnmower yesterday was justified. He mowed over my plants, dressed the boy in winter clothing when it was almost 90 degrees, shrunk the discontinued custom baby carrier by throwing the delicate wash into the dryer on high heat, asked me if I was ready to go on a beer run while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the bathtub...)

[bookninja]

Is anyone else having a return of nausea? It seems to be related to eating too much, which is tough, because I am starving all the time!

Also, cankles! I'm not ready!!

[bruunk]

Right there with you ladies on the naked thing - as soon as I'm home for good, bra is off, and I'm wandering around with as little to no clothing as possible. Heartburn has won, I just give up on it, that and sleeping more than a few hours at a time. My hips and pelvic are sore and the new symptom is the leg cramps at night. If I move, I get them, if I don't move, I get them. Oh well.

I keep reminding myself that there's only 13 weeks max left (if he goes late). I'm close enough to this finish line that I can't see the tape yet, but I can hear the people cheering - SO FREAKING CLOSE.

[pghtruelove]

So tired. Can't get comfy, then have to per, finally fall asleep, wake up have to pee, or because I'm crying in my sleep. Ugh.

Have bad BH everyday. RLS is out of control and just happens all day now.. I'm trying really hard to not complain because my sister and best friend both have been told this year they won't be able to carry children, and I know this is a blessing, but it's so hard. Sigh.

Only if I eat a banana....then I impersonate the exorcist......  Sadly before this happened I had a banana every day...not sure how I'm going to get through three months with no bananas!

[wegrowsheep]

ladymouse lol at your DH. I trust he is aware of his great fortune of still being alive?

@s.coffey1123 I hate my thighs so much right now. PUDGE.

bookninja My nausea never went away, but the vomiting has returned

[wegrowsheep]

The foot and leg cramps are all the time. A banana might help, but eeww.

[laurenlou83]

My allergies have been going crazy, so I've head a pounding headache and itchy/watery eyes the past 5 days.

I was laying in bed (on my back) last night watching TV, and I got really short of breath. I guess this is common in 3rd tri, but it wasn't fun.
RLP is still out of control. I have cramping and tightness throughout the day. I really don't think it is BH... But then again I have no idea what those feel like, so maybe?! I'm going to be that girl that doesn't know when she is having contractions, or I'll get sent home from the hospital because what I think are contractions really aren't.

[wink568]

Aches and pains in the pelvis area. I have been super hungry lately. Oh, and I want to poop.

[honeybunches101]

I went from feeling great to feeling huge. Chasing down my 3 year old to get him dressed leaves me out of breath and sweaty, and I can barely get out of bed or pick things up from the floor. This is how I felt the last week or so last time, but I have 11ish weeks to go! I have a horrible case of diastasis recti (split ab muscles) so I am blaming that I guess. My poor husband, I basically give up as soon as he walks in the door and I take up residence on the couch.

[wormgerm]

So emotional. Currently crying over Willie Nelson singing Rainbow Connection. Also, super achy in the lower back and pelvic region. I got some relief today stretching and wiggling around but certain stretches send shooting pains through my vagina. Glamorous! Happily though my sweet boy is back to more frequent movements. I think he was hiding from me the last few days. I might have even felt hiccups for the first time today. AND my husband and I got a really good snuggle session in last night that turned into sex. I kept leaking tears while we cuddled which I think were happy-relieved-missed-his-touch tears. That was emotionally awesome but physically woof. I got a side stich, dried out super fast, we broke my back, and I didn't get off. At least we rekindled some much missed intimacy.

[omgtree]

Still on bedrest but I feel for you poor ladies who are working. Getting up to pee puts me out of breath. I can sit on the couch or in bed and randomly get out of breath. Super uncomfortable!! I feel like a whale and the aches and pains in the uterus are so not fun. I just keep reminding myself how close we are and how I should be greatful to be doing so well. But really, all I want is to whine lol.

[leenziepops]

My emotions - WTF. I'm normally a tough cookie but my DH left yesterday morning for Texas and won't be back until Saturday. I went to bed crying last night after seeing a picture of us. Then cried again when he called me this morning to let me know he arrived safely. I am contemplating on running home to my mummy for a few nights. When did I become this emotional and this dependent???

I cried while my DH was away this weekend too, even though I slept much better when alone lol. I was just sad about going to sleep alone and worried that smthng would happen while he was away and I'd have to take myself to the hospital. But it all ended up ok! Keep busy and fall asleep with the TV on!!!
