I'm so exhausted. I'm not sleeping well because I'm waking myself up with the feeling of not being able to breathe. And on top of it, I'm peeing all the time. Like I've just gone pee and I have to pee a little bit again with 5-10 minutes. I think I've been to the toilet 15 times in less than 4 hours.
And every time I stand and try to walk, it feels like baby is going to fall out. That's fun too. So much pressure on my pelvic region.
Crazy contractions here too. Last night I was getting a ton and I mentioned it to DH. I said I should probably start timing them and we both kind of freaked out a bit. Thankfully that was all I needed to say, because after that, I didn't have one for a long while. But crazy.... even though you know it could happen at any point, it still is so nerve wracking when you think "This might be it." Glad things calmed down. Lots of crazy baby movement. The other night he was totally doing all this movement toward my back and man, that was uncomfortable and slightly painful. I just kept wondering what on earth he was doing that was causing the crazy movement backward. At one point I felt like he was laying horizontally from my belly to my back because I had so much pressure is both directions, rather than transverse side to side. I'm just feeling huge and can't imagine there is much more room for him (or me) to grow.
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.
Has the Robitussin been helping you? I took it for a few days before I ran out, but it just didn't really seem to be helping all that much. Still coughed a ton, but slept slightly better.
It helps, but it's not great, like NyQuil would be! I only take it at night as well because I was coughing myself awake so much.
Baby was head down for two days. How do I know- I felt her hiccups. Last night, I felt her all over the place, so I don't know her position anymore. I'm trying to take the laid back approach and tell myself it is out of my hands.
My abdominal muscles are hurting so badly. It feels like I've done a million sit ups. Anyone else feel this way?
Also, my BH are out of control. They're starting to get super painful, and I keep acting like a SS and worrying that I'll be in early labor and have no idea. With DD, my water broke first and the contractions were a minute long and 2-3 minutes apart from the start, so it was obvious. Usually my BH let up after a bit, so for now I'll just assume my ute is just playing games.
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.
Awww girl, I'm sorry! I'm glad it's not quite carpal tunnel concerns. I googled foods that are natural diuretics to try and keep fluid moving.... anything helps!

I turned into a complete emotional mess talking on the phone with my sister.
She invited me to go have dinner with a distant cousin in town, and I told her I was too exhausted to go out, and now she thinks I've turned antisocial. I'm honestly so exhausted, if it was just her, I would say come over, but after work I just want to go home and veg out.
So of course she suggests that maybe if I were more active, I'd have more energy. I try to walk 30 minutes a day, but I get such bad cramping and pelvic/crotch pain every single time. So of course I need to be eating healthy so I don't pass the 35 lb mark. I'm gained a total of 30 lbs so far....
So now I'm crying because I'm guilty for not going out with her, feel judged over my laziness/hermit-ness, and my inability to make healthy food choices consistently. I don't eat terribly, I swear, but I indulge in ice cream, more than a few times a week. Sigh, sorry for this SS post. I don't know where the waterworks came from, as I was perfectly fine before.

Almost fell asleep driving this morning due to being out of coffee this morning. Otherwise it felt nice to be semi-productive yesterday with a little bit more functional hands (gardening, writing thank yous, washed babies clothes/stuff).
Otherwise just here getting bigger and bigger. I'm convinced Gin Gin Ginger Candies that my friend gave me is helping with reflux... in case anyone is desperate to try something else!

Girl- you should never apologize or feel bad for not wanting to be more active or social right now. I think we are all struggling with both. Has your sister ever been pregnant?! I don't know about you, but it takes a lot of energy to be social. Like you, I'm also emotional and exhausted, so please know that you are not alone mama.
Annnnddd...indulging in ice cream more than a few times of week is probably good for your soul!
I never made it this far with DD1 and she was breech. I'm having this awful feeling like I need to push but my cervix is closed if that makes any sort of sense. I think it's just because she's head down and is riding low. Contractions are better when I lay down but if I get up they are killer still. DH just got home so I don't have to worry about DD1.

Thanks for the uplifting comment She has 3 kids, and is 14 years older than I am. She's the extrovert to my introvert, likes to be be social and busy, compared to me being a homebody, and is super healthy and active. She means well, I suppose, and yes, ice cream does make everything better

I thought about reaching out to you about it!! I really don't think it's CTS since there is no numbness or tingling, but I could be wrong! It is more just sore joints, achiness and a little swelling. I can still get my rings on/off, it just takes more effort! I have an appt with my OB on Wednesday so I am going to mention it and see what she says. Until then, I will google those foods and I'll keep chugging water to try and keep hydrated!

Don't feel guilty! I think it was kind of shitty of your sister to say the bolded. The same as you, I try to walk 30 minutes/day and even that is getting harder! But on the days when I am more active, I'm considerably more exhausted (i.e. yesterday we walked around a car show/flea market for an hour and half and I crashed big time afterwards!). You are doing fine and people should understand if you don't have as much energy as usual to be social.

Ears keep plugging, love listening to my breathing and chewing amplified. Also, my pants refuse to stay up, and I have a crap load of work to do and no energy. And nausea, of course. So over this.
So much heartburn. I've forgotten to take my Prevacid 2 days in a row and it's come back tenfold today. Just took a Zantac to hopefully help in the meantime. Other than that I'm super emotional, filled with anxiety and don't want to be apart from DH. He was a trooper this weekend. Yesterday I started laughing hysterically at something that I started crying.. And then I just could not stop crying. WTF hormones.
I have SPD and sacro-illiac dysfunction. Just felt a twinge of what feels like sciatica. It's already a little painful to walk, I really don't need any other issues.
Also, I make an involuntary oooomph sound when I sit down. It's hawt.
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.
I'm sorry you had to deal with all the strange behaviour....the fourteen year old would have been the icing on the cake. That s beyond weird.
I actually had a decent sleep last night which was amazing and am feeling pretty good today. I'm still a little congested but definitely feeling better.

I may or may not have lost a part of my mucous plug this morning. I'm not confident enough to bet money on it but it was much more of a glob of discharge as opposed to the thinner, stringy EWCM I've been having all along. Maybe the size of a nickel. No blood/brown. I know you all are just heartbroken I didn't take a picture of it for public analysis.
I didn't get much sleep last night so I'm just wiped out right now. DS really needed some mommy time so we all agreed he could sleep in the bed with me. Usually this means DH sleeps in the guest room, but for some reason, DH decided to sleep in the bed with us instead. So we had three people and a dog on the king sized bed. Not conducive to sleep for me at all. Then I followed it with a long long morning at work. But don't cry for me, Argentina. I went straight from work to my massage so all is well. It's going to be an early bedtime for me though.
It makes me feel better when I come home from work, back aching and exhausted, and see that everyone else is just as miserable as I am...
But really, I'm dying here. I get tired just walking to the bathroom. And I had my first bad bout of BH this weekend. Of course, DH was out watching the fight, so I got all SS thinking that I was going into labor. Sigh.
Also, I know that there are a few other teachers here, and I have a bitch/question. It's state testing time and our testing coordinator tried to convince me that I could handle monitoring the tests this week, which means two days of constant standing and walking. I kept trying to explain that my back, feet, and bladder would make it impossible and whined until she put me on hall duty (where I'll be able to sit). I feel kind of bad because I'm pregnant, not handicapped. But at the same time, I know I'd be miserable and in pain all day if I was actually monitoring. I just wanted to know if you ladies think I'm being a SS about this. Feel free to flame me if I am.

I'm not a teacher, but this morning in court there was a case that got called that had tons of people on it so, while I was out in the hallway for a second, someone snagged the chair I'd been sitting in from the area where those of us who are there all day sit and wait and I had to stand up for 30 minutes until they were done. I thought I was going to die. I can't imagine two days of standing. Nope nope nope!
