Monday Symptoms...How you doing?!

[pghtruelove]

So tired no matter how much I sleep. Also hips are killing me:-( My boobs are extra itchy because I got sunburned yesterday. And my teeth are killing me for some reason. Just kind of feel like I am falling apart. I spend most of my day crying, which makes me not able to breathe even more. It's only May 4th. April went so fast, why can't May!?

[mrsmonogrammed]

Had a SS night...didn't feel baby girl move as much as I "normally" do so I kept waking up to check and poke my belly to get her to move. She's been doing totally fine today, maybe she was just tired?
Feeling pretty good otherwise!

[belle0720]

I feel okay so far, but I've only been awake for 1.5 hours lol.

I've been getting super exhausted by mid-day this past week. Yesterday H and I went to this car show/swap meet thing and walked around for 1.5 hours. We got home, ate lunch--and then I passed out on the couch for 2 hours! So of course I didn't fall asleep last night until almost midnight and I'll probably be dead by lunchtime over here.

Only 2 weeks until Maternity Leave, hallelujah!

[islandgirl14]

I made a very bad fashion choice today and wore a dress that is not maternity, and I'm sooooo uncomfortable. The type of dress that it is fits because there is so much material(it's sort of a wrap dress, but not really), but the material isn't stretchy, and I can't stand it. Only 7 more hours until I get to change.... Let the countdown begin. fml.

[bendherova]

I think I slept 6 straight hours last night. No nut punching DH this am for waking me up every hour.


But I still want to just stay home and sleep all day. . How did I work until 10pm when I was Pregnant with Ds1? yikes.


Also i hate you heartburn. Nothing new there.

[wormgerm]

My crotch hurts. My hips hurt extra bad today. I'm hungry. Craving a smores Frappuccino from the thread last week, still haven't tried one. Can never decide what sounds good for meals. Reflux wakes me up at midnight every night. Thank goodness for tums on the nightstand.

Bitching aside I love being pregnant and the weather is perfect today.

+1 for the crotch hurting. I feel like I have an 8lb bowling ball in mine. What the heck...

[wifedeangel]

Just super SPD pains today. Ditto the breeding that baby is trying to burrow out.

My SS moment: since it seems like everyone is celebrating Morhers Day all week his week, I'm really wanting to crawl in a hole until next Monday. I love to celebrate my mom, but all these reminders all week, and all of DDs cartoons this morning are about MD too. I just don't want to deal with all the feels. Ugh

[nicolec78]

Spent 8 hours last night in L&d triage was severely dehydrated. Feel like hell today. My blood pressure and heart rate were really high and so was the baby's. Thankfully after 3 IV bags and several injections they got it under control along with my vomiting.

[wormgerm]

Ewwwwww! I just saw my left foot was looking a little chubby. Poked it and the dent stayed. Definitely some edema going on. That's new.

[wormgerm]

Yikes nicolec78! Rest up.

Pulled a muscle in my back from coughing. So now, not only am I constantly hacking up my lungs, it's painful, too. Debating if I should go to the doctor for this cough or give it another couple of days. I'm pretty sure it's just allergies, but it's been consistent for a couple of weeks now and it's interrupting my already pretty bad pregnancy sleep.

ETA: I would love if I could just take some good ol' codeine cough syrup and go into a drug induced sleep for a couple of hours.

This is me right now too...going on my third week. It hurts to cough, and actually, it makes the contraction side of my NSTs go sky high with every cough. My doc is not concerned and said to take Robutussin. I'm pretty sure mine is allergy related as well.

[teenybird]

nicolec78, hope you are doing better now! Rest up, mama!

I have a sore arm from getting my TDap over the weekend, and I'm also just tired. Period. I've been getting some cramping when LO stretches too - I can feel his head and tush bulging out, and it's a little uncomfortable. Looks pretty weird too haha.

I'm totally starting to get apathetic about work. I'm on light duty now and stuck in the office, so the days are just dragging on and on and on. I feel like being stuck in the office is actually making me more anxious...have a BP check this afternoon, so here's hoping it doesn't keep going up .

I feel like I've had a bowling ball slammed into mine repeatedly. Seriously. I feel like if I bend over, or sit down, her heads just gonna pop out. :-\

I'm itchy all over, my hips hurt constantly and I sound like a human bowl of rice crispy's. I can't get comfortable, ever, and sleep is something of the past.

[maddib]

I am tired and so irritable! And of course all the pain.

This is more of a bitch vent but my baby shower was yesterday.... Ugh.. Where the hell to even start??? It was thrown by my step mother kind of against my will. She is a little different. She's like 34 my dad is 50. Not that age is a big deal but with her it shows.. She loves drama. Grew up in kind of the ghetto and looks and acts like she's on drugs.. Her sister was there who is most definitely a drug user. We all know this. Well my in laws are completely different. Not really uppity but she would call them that. My SIL just had a baby two weeks ago. My nephew. On their way to my shower they had a tire blow out. I don't know why but she stayed to wait for the tow truck while my MIL and other SIL brought the new baby. I loved it because I got to spend time holding him. Well my step moms sister who looks nasty and acts nasty was upstairs for fifteen min asking ppl to bring her the new baby. Trying to get me to bring him up there... I ignored her. My in laws have never met this woman and had my SIL been here she never would have allowed it. So I don't know if maybe I was out of line but I ignored her. She finally came downstairs and said "give me that baby! I am gonna take him!" I was already irritated and told her no like fifteen times!!! She kept saying "well I am gonna take him from you!" In front of everyone I had to actually tell her to get out of my face and get the hell away from me!! That I was serious and don't not put your hands on me or my nephew!!! What in the actual fuck!! This went on for 15 minutes!! My MIL had a look of sheer horror on her face. She said later she was so thankful that I was holding him because she has no back bone and wouldn't have been able to stand up to someone so pushy. Ok seriously you don't know this family you barely know me and he is two weeks old!! How dare you try to take him from my arms!! She of course threw a major bitch fit cussing and yelling up a storm all the way back upstairs. I give zero fucks how you feel about me!!!! I was already irritated mainly because my step moms 14 year old son had been in the living room rolling around on the floor while ppl were trying to come in and sit down. He almost kicked my great aunt in the face. And this boy is HUGE!! He weighs more then I do! I am not judging him but I do not like this kid he is horrible and weighs over two hundred pounds and was rolling on the floor like a gigantic blob while my guests are trying not to fall down!!!!!! I just can't even with yesterday.. My half brother who I have met maybe six times in my life decided to drive up from Arizona on a whim and stop by without telling anyone didn't make the situation any better. He has always been after money and I don't like him one bit. Yesterday was just a mess. There are many more things I could go on about but those seem to be the biggest that have been on my mind so I will leave it at that. I was so grateful for everyone who came and I felt so embarrassed for how everything went down yesterday.

Am I overreacting or am I justified and being upset and embarrassed?

[sully326]

maddib Giiiiirl. I don't blame you. I probably would've freaked out. I'm sorry you had such a rough day :-(

[maddib]

sully326 I definitely almost freaked out on her!! I still can't believe it honestly. Who the hell does that? I was ready to leave after that and was tired and bitchy for the rest of the night..

[cnumbers]

I feel rather down and emotional today. I have burst into tears three different times. Probably because I'm feeling lonely because I'm all alone in the house after having spent the whole weekend uninterrupted with SO. A rare occasion due to work commitments. It was lovely. I don't hear from my mom like ever.. So I called her today and she had every excuse to get off the phone.. She never comes to see me.. I'm always expected to make the hour trip to her - sorry but I'm not comfortable driving that long at the moment - & I don't ever get a little text to see how I'm doing. I always try to make an effort with her but it's like hitting a wall. I just felt like I needed some support as I'm freaking because I'm due in a month. My back pain has eased though. I had really bad heartburn last night so that sucked. I'm currently curled up on the sofa watching some reality show.. I'll probably go for a nice bath and do some chores.


I'm so whiney haha! I'm hoping to get my hair done tomorrow but money is kind of tight as I have to buy something for our anniversary and I have no idea what to buy him!

Holy baby shower batman - I think you're justified. I'd be mortified if my family acted that way in front of guests or vice versa. I think with the whole baby thing I would have handed him to his grandmother (your MIL) and scooted them out to the back yard or a quiet room until your step mom could have controlled her sister. Though, I know those situations aren't always controllable. Why was the 14 yr old rolling on the ground? I'm sorry you had to deal with this - I hope you were able to enjoy a little of it!

I think I slept well (for me) last night, but that's making it hard to focus again today. I could have slept 4 more hours, easily. Today is day one of 5 weeks till leave. I'm starting to think I want to go on leave earlier. I know this kid won't be early and if I take leave earlier, I have to come back earlier but I'm starting to lose it with my co workers (just one). Heartburn is a constant (anyone else wake up with really odd taste in the back of your throat because of heartburn?), my hips ache from sleeping on my side, and I now have at least one nose bleed a day - DH is always surprised at how fast they come on (so am I dude, so am I). BUT so close to the finish line. We can do this, right? 

[maddib]

bruunk I would have done just that but she was in my face. I was sitting in a chair and she was almost on my lap!! I was cornered and pissed!! My poor mother in law probably would have handed her the baby and cried the whole time.. Ya it was horrible. And I don't know why he was rolling around. He has some attention issues so maybe that's it but my thought was why the hell is he here in the first place? A 14 year old boy??

Whoa! She sounds crazy! I don't feel you overreacted. You were doing what you felt was right by your inlaws. The babies mother wasn't present so you did the right thing. Also if I was holding a newborn and heavily pregnant & someone was going completely BSC and getting all up in my face, my protective instinct would kick in and there would be no way I'd hand that baby over. I don't blame you for being embarrassed!. That must have kind of ruined your shower, it's not polite to behave like that. Just wow!

[laurenlou83]

My hands hurt really bad. My knuckles and finger joints are swollen and achy. I don't feel like it is carpal tunnel because my wrists don't hurt, not shooting pain, no numbness, but maybe it's the start of it?! I'm not swollen anywhere else, so it's just weird!
Other than that, back ache, acid reflux no matter what and starting to get real bad headaches again.
3rd tri is not glorious.

[mathistm]

I am sooo happy I am not going to be pregnant for much of summer. I am very fair and heat and I don't mix too well to begin with. I cannot imagine being pregnant until August like my mom was with me. It's 80 here today and I took the dog for a walk and almost died. Time to hydrate up.

[maddib]

Ya it was absolutely beyond me. I will never understand how some people act. And I lived seeing everyone at my shower but honestly after that it just got worse. I am glad it's over now but it was really nice and thoughtful for my step mother to try to throw one and for everyone to come so that's what I am holding on to out of all this.

[redlipz]

I'm feeling pretty alright today...so far.
I discovered my first 2 stretch marks on my tummy, they finally showed on the 3rd full term pregnancy. Oh so sad.
Oh and on Saturday I was having constant but not timetable contractions, called L&D and they told me I should pack my stuff and get ready to head over there if I got 4 of them 5 minutes apart. Thankfully they stopped but of course continued yesterday but just not as frequent.

Oh and not I can't sit/stand/lay for long without pain(: thank God I only have 2 more mandatory work days till maternity leave.

ETA- oh the cervix rolls n kicks! They feel so freaking weird! And def make me stop what I'm doing and hunch over.

[omgtree]

Contractions have been horrible. I almost begged dh to stay home from work today. Ended up texting him and he'll be home in a few hours. I feel like I have been run over and just can't handle DD1 and these contractions.

Alright ladies, how we feeling today?

I feel like the first tri bus ran my ass over than backed up over me...where the coffee?

I'm right there with you on the first tri tired feeling.
I was driving to work today thinking "Well, I can close my eyes at the red light. Someone will honk if the light changes and I don't move." 
Also, I'm like a furnace. It can't get cold enough. And it's unseasonably warm, of course. It's supposed to be between 80 and 90 all week. It's normally 60-70 at this time of year. Booo.

I wish I could text my SO home . Hope you feel better and they ease off a bit. FX for you.

[silv3rlining]

During the day I mostly feel good (though yet I had a lot of nausea...what the heck I pretty much avoided MS 1st tri this go round and now it shows up?) Evenings are the WORST. Uncomfortable (pretty much all over) and reflux.so far (for a Monday) productivity wise I feel like I'm winning so that's a plus.

This weekend it literally feels like baby is clawing his way out of my pelvis. I was at a BBQ and let out a couple loud "ouch!" And they thought I was going into labour lol nope, just baby clawing at my insides, nbd....

OMG same here! Like violent - I was clutching my side on the entire drive to work this morning thinking ,baby this is not the way out!
