I'm super swollen from my hands and feet. Not only that but they are falling asleep out of nowhere. Like while sitting on the toilet, leaning on something, sitting on the floor, having my arm bent. It's really annoying. Oh and my feet are sweaty, yuck!

Feeling good today, but totally almost fell asleep on the toilet last night when I got up to pee at 1AM- before totally falling asleep I had the irrational imagination of my H having to call 911 because I bonked my head on the counter from falling off or something...no more closing my eyes during middle of the night bathroom trips!
@littlechivette It really is, even more when you're not doing anything and it happens.
I haven't had too much heartburn this time around but I've been obsessed with watermelon lately and that has been giving me some. Makes you feel like a dragon, I feel for you, I hope it goes away soon.

I just bought a watermelon and I know if it cut it up, I'm going to eat it all in one setting!
I've been eating roughly a half watermelon a day for the last month. Forget chocolate... give this baby alllll the fruit!
@littlechivette - Yepper! I've been much healthier as well. I've learned I need to eat before bed or I still wake up queasy. So fruit has been my go to. Went through a light cantaloupe phase... but it's been heavy on the watermelon for months now! Happy to give him good things

I've been totally swollen with Shrek feet for the last 2 weeks. yesterday I noticed that I was having to pee ALOT more than normal and I've been having a lot of pressure at the bottom of my stomach so I think she's beginning her descent!
My eyes seem to be lazy today or blurry for about the last 30 minutes and my stomach feels so incredibly heavy today. Otherwise I don't feel terrible today.
Can I join the swollen feet club??? USUALLY they are back to normal by the next morning... didnt happen today they were still kind of swollen and now look like clubs... At least i have an excuse to wear flip flops at work.
Kind of hoping Yoga helps a bit tonight with all of my swollenness and pains that I have been having..
That and the pressure is insane, Dr confirm that she is head down and low so that's why I have been having as much pressure as I have been having its just not so much fun.
My clothes are getting tighter by the day. Finally understand why maxi dresses are so favored in the last few weeks. Pants are fast becoming uncomfortable.

It's starting to get pretty cool here of an evening/morning so I treated myself to a new tracksuit that can actually do up in front. Bliss! As a result, I feel pretty good now just from the comfort and warmth factor that was missing when my pants were too low and my jacket was like arm warmers with no front! Feet are definitely starting to swell especially by the end of the day. I've started propping them on a box under my desk at work to try and reduce it.
budders I definitely had joint issues for a while there. I'm not sure it was related to swelling, but my fingers, hips and even toe joints would be sore with no explanation. My strange symptom lately has been not having much of an appetite. Sometimes I'm not hungry all day and I just eat on a schedule. Sometimes I'm hungry in the morning, but not at all for the rest of the day. I still make sure I'm eating, but I feel like I eat more frequently not pregnant than now.

dogmama22, ditto to decreasing appetite. I don't know if it seems like I'm eating little only because I went through a crazy ravenous stage during 2nd trimester. I'm not worried though because I think I harvested during 2nd trimester and so my LO should still have plenty of food source coming in.
I swear this baby is trying to break my bones. Last night I was awake over and over because of shooting pains in my back and pelvis and this morning it's like he is crushing my tailbone and sending pain down my legs. I am trying to get things done and have a longer drive to my inlaws today so I would enjoy it if he backed off lol.
So miserable and cranky today. Baby girl has definitely shifted lower-I'm having so much pressure in my pelvis. And my allergies are killing me-sore throat, itchy eyes.
I too am insanely swollen. Better today since the humidity dropped, but my hands and feet are also feeling arthritic. Is anyone else dealing with swelling having pain and creakiness issues in the joints? I have my checkup tomorrow so I am going to discuss it with the MW.
Swelling has been an issue for me for the past month or so... It got so bad in my right foot that my Doctor sent me to get an ultrasound because she thought that I might have a blood clot (I DONT!) One thing i learned in yoga last night which actually helped is to lay on the floor on your back (Make sure you are properly supported) and to let your legs sit up against the wall. I could feel the pressure being released from my feet. it really was a fantastic feeling!!! I plan on doing this every night to help with the swelling. The instructor just said to sit there for about 5-8 minutes and it will help.
Bad night for me last night. Woke up at 1a with horrible stomach cramps that felt like gas pains but nothing was happening. They were consistent enough I started timing them just in case, but then proceeded to get really sick so it is a stomach bug of some sort. After that, I developed a stab like pain in my left side that is still there. Took a Tylenol and tried to sip ginger ale but nothing helped. Finally fell asleep at 5a for an hour and the pain was gone, but now it's back. Called in sick and I'm trying to drink water thinking maybe I'm just dehydrated. Miserable... At least my little guy is moving like crazy so I know he's ok.
@jemomma, I had some intense cramps/ contractions while in the shower last night. Like you, they soon went away, but wow, that was scary. I think it was a mixture of trapped gas and stretching.

This sounds like my night as well! I went to bed really early because I just felt off, and I'm still dealing with the cramps and nausea this morning. Fortunately DD was kind enough to sleep in, so that was nice... but it's going to be a long day.
I started having bloody show last night. I also started cramping regularly every fIve mInutes or so. I opted to just go to sleep and see where It went and this morning the cramps have stopped. But I did have a little more bloody discharge this morning along with tons of BH still going on. I am in court all morning in a county that is a 45 minute drive from the nearest hospital and over an hour to my doc so hopefully this just stays status quo for a few hours, if not a couple more weks.

It sounds like quite a few ladies have had this recently. Is there a full moon happening soon?

Well, if it's happening to a bunch of us, it has to be normal, right?! My little one was doing some crazy flips and movements last night. Isn't she supposed to be settled by now?! This gives me hope that she might get head down and stay. Something must have been in the air last night for all of us. sugarkissed, I also went to bed night early not feeling right. In fact, I haven't felt right for the past few days. Very sluggish and tired.
