You can do it!!

I woke up screaming in pain at 1:30am and 5:30am with leg cramps- same leg both times (my right) We're talking requiring the pillow to keep me from waking DS1 and paralysis in that leg. DH was not spared either time. (oddly his pager had just gone off the first time and he had to get up for work the 2nd time)

I am petrified it'll happen when he's not here! he was a great help with massage and then brought me a banana and some coconut water.


I was also up at 3:30 to pee. sigh.

Sorry bendherova that does not sound fun.

I keep waking up with one of my arms numb. No matter what position I'm in, it doesn't matter. Also I keep ending up on my back, which freaks me out bc I know that's supposed to be the worst position. I just wish my sleeping self would cooperate.

For all the ladies with back aches! So I learnt today that I was getting up off the bed incorrectly. You are meant to roll on to the side and use your arms to get up. I was doing the turtle on its back method. Not good for the back!

[bendherova]

leenziepops speaks the truth! I learned this in PT while pregnant with Ds1.

[cnumbers]

I have a sore hoohah from last nights hospital visit, also my back is sore from lying on the bed hooked up to machines.. It's 12PM and I've just woken up... I'm still tired!. Just out of the shower hoping that will help my back muscles to relax. I should really be getting dressed though...

[leenziepops]

Gross out. Im bed, i rolled over and vomited a bit in my mouth. Yuck yuck!

[ladymouse]

You don't realize how often you use your abdominal muscles until you pull some. Holy crap. I have to sleep on the couch, or it feels like I'm being knifed whenever I try to get up. And I'm still getting over the cough that led to the pulled muscles, so I feel like I'm being ripped open every time I cough. I couldn't get to sleep last night until 1 AM because of this, then DS woke up at 3 AM. The only position that doesn't hurt is curled over the injured side of my belly.

[turtletyme]

The hip pain! It's incredible! I made myself a massage appointment for Saturday. Hoping it stops the waking up in agony for a few days.

[Bluedaisy]

Wicked headache last night and I swear everyone I work with is sick! I just want to wear a hazmat suit!

Also I need to complain for 30 seconds (or less) I am getting so sick of school lunches...due to severe allergies at my school I can't have peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, or shellfish and then since I'm following the whole no lunch meat rule I'm really limited in my options.... I've been taking a lot of bagels with cream cheese but I'm getting sick of that and have been taking soup or microwave meals but I just want a good sandwich.....end whine....

Between DD, DH and frequent trips to the bathroom I'll be lucky to get any proper sleep between now and delivery day. First I had to pee at about midnight. Then DD woke up at 3... Then when I was done with her, I had to pee again, and when I tried to fall back to sleep, I couldn't because DH was snoring too much. It didn't matter how many times I poked him or nudged him, he wouldn't stop. So I crawled back into DDs bed to sleep there. Why can't they make twin sized beds that are comfy? We tried many but all were super firm. DDs was the softest and it's still too hard for me.

[wormgerm]

I woke up a billion times last night and just could not get comfortable. Pinchy belly pains galore. It's like a rainbow of pinchy cramps from one side up across my upper belly and down the other side. Today I'm trying to slam the water and see if that clears it up. Also about to research a belly wedge to sleep on because I wake up with belly pain every effing day.

My husband was doing efflaurage (he said it about 379 times last night after learning the word in baby class last night) on my sore belly last night and I squeezed my thighs together and heard the biggest pop. I THINK it was my lower back but the weirdest thing is I don't feel all these monster cracks and pops in my pelvis and back.

[alayne926]

So, DS spent the entire night in his big boy bed....YAY!

You would think that I got a decent night's sleep, right? NO DH needs to get his snoring under control, he was ridiculous lastnight.

Other than crappy sleep, I'm feeling OK.

[mrsmonogrammed]

I think I belong in the gestational diabetes camp:'( My office hasn't called me officially yet, but I had my aunt look up my bloodwork #s for me and my fasting was a bit high for the 3 hr. My mom was insulin dependent when pregnant with me so I definitely knew it was a possibility, but I was sooooooo hoping to get out of it:( ALL THE SADZ.

[tiffbot]

I woke up a few times to pee and with uncomfortable Bh/cramps. Now I was just woken up with a huge leg cramp. My hips and pelvis feel like they are going to be sore from here on out. I have the constant urge to cry.

Last night, I'm reading DS bedtime stories and I stand up and there a wet spot on the bed. I didnt even notice, but H was standing in the room and was like 'wth is that did your water break?' And I looked and started feeling myself all over and was holding back tears and said 'I don't know!! I don't feel anything!!' So, I was pretty much a mess for awhile after that but it must have just been a toddler mystery spot because nothing on me was leaking..

Summary, this last week or so, I really started feeling pregnant again.

I'm in the achy RLP club. Sunday was the right side, yesterday the left. Here's hoping that resting today and keeping my feet up evens things out. My right calf feels like it is asleep...not sure what that's about though! I slept pretty well with only a 2a pee break... And I even slept through a thunderstorm according to DH. Yay!

I woke up at 5:30 with the worst leg cramps in both calves. Then my right calf got it again 30 minutes later. They're both so sore now.

I feel your pain, literally.    


DH is all on my case to up my potassium intake - bananas for everyone!

I don't know if you've tried this yet, but when I get really bad leg cramps (like, every night), I get out of bed as quickly as possible (ha!) and stand on the leg that's cramping. If I can get it when if first starts, it always makes it go away, and I rarely have lingering pain the next morning.

Dr. Google suggested this.  (the Mayo Clinic result from Dr. Google).  

From the knee down my leg was completely locked up, so I was hesitant to try it - bc I didn't want to fall.  Although H was awake both times when it happened so it wasn't like I was alone.

Day 2 of spring break, and DH is giving me the day off from the children! I may spend the whole day sleeping....

LOL if I saw a wet spot on the bed, I would assume it wasn't me, between DD's constant spilling water everywhere and urge to take off her clothes then try to redress herself over and over and over again (daycare's fault).

[lalamomma]

The last few mornings I wake up and I feel like a baby deer walking around. My hips feel so weak/loose that I think I'm going to fall if I don't have something for support. It seems better as the day progresses but still feel like I'm wobbly. I was kind of hoping that would go away. Not sure if its something to be concerned about but I don't think there is much I can do, if it doesn't go away I'll probably talk to the doctor at my appointment. I'm still crampy a lot, but not as bad as last week.

My lower back pain overall has been better though so I guess that is a win. I haven't heard back from my GD test. Hopefully its fine. I hate needles.

[tiffbot]

Widget123 if H hadnt said anything I wouldn't have even thought twice about it being there. Once the seed was planted in my head though I totally panicked! And then he felt really bad for that being his initial thought and making me freak out haha. It wasn't even directly where I was sitting, more beside. So we were both being irrational lol!

I'm at the doctors office right now for a routine appointment.... I was here 10 days ago and I'm up 8 lbs. I'm trying to not be the crazy person that says- 1) the nurse did it wrong on the manual scale, 2) that's not right, I want to try a different scale
My scale at home did not indicate this increase, and I have been walking every day and eating right. I know that everyone says not to pay attention to the scale, but I have just over 9 weeks left and this trend is definitely not sustainable OR healthy. WTF

It's also hotter than hell in this ducking office.

It totally could be wrong though! I posted about this before, but at my last appointment the nurse wrote my weight down wrong so my Dr. thought I had gained 10 lbs and was all, "I'd like you start watching what you eat, try to stay away from carbs. I know it's hard!" I was like um...what? (especially because it was a digital scale and I had seen my weight and knew I didn't gain 10!) I've been going on walks almost every day and doing workouts with hand weights a few days a week. She had the nurse weigh me again and sure enough, nurse wrote it down wrong.

[redlipz]

Besides this inflamed crotch nerve, spasming gluts and hand/foot swelling, everything is good.

Doctor told me he's nervous about me making it to the hospital, he said I could sneeze the baby will pop out. Hahaha

[holliberry28]

My crotch feels super sore past few days too and the pelvic pressure had gotten worse. Will ask my OB about it tomorrow at my regular appointment.

Baby feels a lot lower now, but seems early for 30 weeks.

I'm really feeling like a whale and super hot all the time
Now.

[belle0720]

One of the girls who I'm training to cover my desk responsibilities just saw me in the bathroom and enthusiastically said, "Looking bigger every day!" She's a really nice girl and I know she intended for it to be a compliment because she followed up with something like, "Pregnancy is the only time you can say that to a woman and have it be a compliment!" It still didn't feel like a compliment. I mean geez I know it's getting bigger, I don't need other people reminding me.

[flbabychin]

belle0720, I have coworkers and patients say this to me routinely. It sucks. I'm short, so I already feel like I'm huge to begin with.

Last night, I woke up at least twice on my back, which freaks me out until the next time I feel LO kick. I have also been turning from side to side each night and when I stretch out my legs to turn, either I get a loud "pop" in my hips or my calf muscle gets a cramp.

I feel sort of achy and crackly all over, like all my joints are loose. It's unnerving.

[erbear]

My gums are super swollen today and I literally have a pain in my butt. I think she's sitting on my nerves!

[belle0720]

Just got back to my cube after taking a nap in my car. I'm super tired today!
