Tuesday Symptoms Etc!

[carolyngrace]

I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I just cannot get out of bed and go to work. It's probably because I had most of last week off. But sometimes I wonder how women work through the last couple months of pregnancy. I feel like it takes all my energy to keep my household running. And I don't even have a kid yet! Honestly, this feels harder than the first trimester to me. I just want to rest, and nest, and never leave the house.

[wegrowsheep]

I'm with carolyngrace, I have no desire to leave my house. All I can think about when I'm trying to get chores done is how much easier and faster it would be if I wasn't pregnant.
The nausea is giving me a good ass-kicking.
I need to see the dentist so bad. My teeth were in great shape til about 3 months ago, and now they feel like crap. I'm going in for a cleaning, but I know it won't be enough

[mathistm]

wegrowsheep I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago for a cleaning and then had to go back yesterday for a minor filling (no numbing or drilling). My teeth felt like they were going to be a lot worse than they were! I hope things work out well for you too!
I'm with you too carolyngrace I'm having a really hard time getting up and going every day.
This morning has been especially fun with BHs. I drank a bunch of water and went back to bed for an hour and feel a lot better now.
My hips keep getting sore and almost locked up when lying down. So that's fun too.

[wormgerm]

I'm tired today. Woke up around 2 and then couldn't fall back asleep for who knows how long. I just took an hour long nap while my nephew napped and I don't feel any better.

Also woke up feeling nauseous and with pinchy cramps all over my tummy. Maybe I'm sick?

[gilder40]

I'm off this week for spring break, and I had this long list of things to get done. Of which I've done zero.

I'm getting to that point where I'm not sleeping well at night, and I can't get comfortable. I'm also having this ache up near my ribs, but it's my ab muscles. It's quite annoying. Could be because I've coughed so darn much in the last two weeks. I'm over this cold and congestion.

[cnumbers]

Backache.. So much pain. I spent yesterday cleaning the whole house top to bottom & now I am suffering. SO working until late so I'm just going to relax today.

[txngrl31]

mathistm, wegrowsheep, I went in for a cleaning last week and my gums were a little inflamed, which they attributed to pregnancy. I basically told them that if they found a small cavity, I'd come back after the baby. Not doing it right now!

[bendherova]

I have pooped 4x in 24h.

And heartburn.

And I'm exhausted even tho I got 7-8h of sleep last night. (My guess is anemia, but they didnt test me for it when I took my GTT).

[belle0720]

Itchiness everywhere. I just want to be naked and coconut oiled up all of the time.

Also a quick PSA: Ladies, do not curl your hair without a shirt on. Yesterday, I was curling my hair right after I'd oiled up my belly and had my shirt lifted up over my boobs, I got careless with the curling iron and burned the bump! It hurt like hell and now I have an ugly brown burn mark on my beautiful belly.

If I'm not careful I'm also going to end up gas poisoning us or setting the house on fire because the bump keeps turning on the other stove burners when I'm cooking.

[maddib]

I feel 80 years old today. I actually had a nurse yesterday and cleaned the house! Finally! And man it made all the aches and pains worse. Had my growth scan and check up yesterday. Baby girl is doing good and growing right on schedule. She weighs four pounds!! I can't believe it. My bump looks so tiny and I thought for sure she would be behind in the growth department but nope she's doing good! So that was nice to hear. Just so sore and achey in the hip back pelvic region. Like always. I can't get up or walk without groaning like an old man!

[bruunk]

UGh. Lack of sleep is going to kick my ass. Weird dreams last night (so I got SOME sleep), but I kept waking up in really weird and painful positions that at one point I needed help getting out of because I was so twisted up in the pillow. Hips hurt and pressure on my pelvis, plus heartburn (the three constants!). Starting acupuncture back up today (I don't love needles. Not sure WHY I'm doing this... RIGHT - it should help.) On a whole, I feel ok. I'm just really tired. I was thinking about what I've had for food the last few days and I haven't had enough Iron (I'm anemic). So steak and spinach for dinner.

If I had it my way, I'd be home, sleeping, cleaning, and running errands (or staring at the wall).

[Bluedaisy]

Heartburn and just general achiness. Other than that I'm doing pretty good. I have no idea how three more months of baby will fit in here though.

[jcprn]

belle0720 I think my bump has a mind of its own! And I keep bumping it into things because I have no concept of where it is. I'll close a door and hit my belly as it closes. Or I'll walk up to a piece of furniture and run into it bump first. It's ridiculous.

[belle0720]

jcprn Yep, same here! It just makes me feel clumsier too. We were hanging up decorations on the baby's room wall and I tried to lean back to see the positioning of a 'sweet dreams' mirror sign I had custom ordered. Well the bump is big and I totally misjudged my reach so I dropped the sign and it shattered $50 down the drain.

[dmoney]

Some days are def harder then others, but other days im like i can do this!!

BTW as far as Symptoms go. i feel like every time she moves recently I am getting kicked in the vag...so not pleasant... Really hope she stops kicking me there as every time she does it i feel like I am going to pee my pants!!

[Bluedaisy]

Total AW moment but yesterday I finally was able to see movement from the outside! It was really freaky but cool at the same time, I just kept giggling every time it happened.

[belle0720]

Bluedaisy it's so much fun to watch! I could probably stare at my belly all day lol

[sabrinaml]

I agree with Kristykristyleelee, I'm hungry all the time yet when I actually eat I feel super full! I tossed and turned most of the night, and when I was comfortable I had an upset stomach/weird pain or feeling that kept me up (I'm guessing it's my stomach stretching). No heartburn yet today but BH were in full force. Also, I just want to punch everyone in the face! I was told I had to take an early lunch today (got to work at 6:30 break from 9:15-10:45 and stuck working until 4) and told a coworker to fuck off. It just kinda slipped out and wasn't meant for her but for my assistant director. Thankfully said coworker understood! Counting down the days until I'm done!
On the plus side I got these awesome shirts yesterday

[Bluedaisy]

sabrinaml, I NEED the punch you shirt!

[leenziepops]

You know that feeling when you hit your funny bone? It's not painful but it's a weird sensation. Well i'm getting that off to one side of my bikini line - i THINK LO is kicking off from my upper tummy and pushing down into my pelvis because I always feel two spots of movement when this happens. It's borderline painful but it makes me jump because it's like I'm getting zapped. So, is this lightning crotch? paging @pcrunk! Because lightning crotch makes me think of you. Isn't that sweet?

It's very cool freaky! I'm waiting for the full alien experience. I'm watching my belly do funny pulses right now as I'm sitting at my desk. Growing a baby is so distracting.

How does your funny bone not hurt when hit?  If I bump my elbow I'm almost in the fetal position from pain.

I would say it's only a borderline pain. I must have a high pain threshold!

sabrinaml where are those shirts from?

[gigi3126]

Aside from the regular aches and pains, I feel pretty good. I had some ridiculous emotional breakdowns last week (for example, crying hysterically because my little dogs had cornered me in the bedroom and wouldn't stop licking my legs...yes, you read that right.), but I feel way more together now. Crazy dreams have returned, though. Last night I had a dream that I was at the doctor, and she took the baby out of me to check on him, only it was my puppy. Then, when she wanted to put him back, I was like, "No way! He's too big!" Weird.

[sabrinaml]

stinybean my neighbor made them for me!

The dogs licking you is too funny!

Also before my last check up one of my grade one students asked where I was going and I told her that I was going to see a doctor so that they could check the baby.  She said "Is the baby going to come out?".  I think she really thought that the doctor would take the baby out and check it before putting it back.

[missjenniebean]

Sooooo moooooodddyyyyyy. Poor SO. Idk how I am gonna survive work either, I am wiped by the end of my shift.

[amber311]

I'm so frickin gassy it's disgusting. When I stand up from my desk I have horrible rlp. I as well feel like I've grown over night and have no idea where this baby is going to grow for 12 more weeeks.
