Tuesday Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Randoms

[ladymouse]

Because I'm awake and shouldn't be.

[kemdupuis]

I feel yucky today. Back pain persists, and I am all kinds of crampy too. My whole body feels heavy and tired- which is ridiculous because I've been resting quite a bit. I am feeling LO move, but not nearly as much.. I'm wondering if he is getting ready to make his appearance?

[silv3rlining]

Soooo tired. Crapo night of sleep and I know it's only about to get worse. Thankfully DH was awake when I heard DS this am and I asked of he'd get up with him. I'm still in bed but not site I'll get anymore sleep. I'm aches too...my back and hips and legs. The bottom of me feet have been hurting. I'm hoping some of my achyness (sp?) Means baby engaged more. Sorry for the whiney rant, I've been feeling so good this whole time that this just sucks. I should be resting up before baby not miserable

[periwinkledaydreams]

Yuck and ache and pain and blergh and wahh. My whole body is a cramp, I feel like there is an elastic band connecting the base of my skull to my shoulder to my hip to my calf to my ankle on the left side and it is about to snap at each connection. I spent part of the night on my hands and knees in the shower letting the hot water pour over me trying for relief and the other part of the night up half puking from the pain. And the other part having the craziest painful contractions yet that I swore were going to open me up from the belly button like weird massacre style. THIS HAS GOT TO BE OVER SOON!!!!!

[mrsmonogrammed]

silv3rlining the bottoms of my feet have been hurting too!! I thought it was weird but I'm happy to see someone else has been experiencing the same thing!

[wormgerm]

Bottoms of my feet also hurt. I think that part is swollen like the tops.

periwinkledaydreams that sounds awful. Labor?

I spent pretty much all evening vigorously bouncing on the ball, doing pelvis rotations, and on hands and knees getting my pelvis rubbed by my husband. For the first time I was like I know this could help baby engage and start labor and I was ok with it instead of terrified. Progress! My house isn't ready, bags aren't packed, and all my comfy clothes were in the washer but I was ok with it!

[periwinkledaydreams]

wormgerm I wish!! I have an appointment today and will have a progress check and let her know all these symptoms. I'm feeling crazy, feeling so close yet so far away. I also have the option for induction on the table and feel crazy for refusing it yet scared to ask for/accept it thinking it might just add misery on top of misery. I'm so torn and confused!!! I want to sleep until I give birth!!!

[Bluedaisy]

I'm actually feeling better today than I did yesterday so I think I just overdid it on the weekend....keep forgetting I'm almost a million months pregnant and can't just do whatever.

Also some major progress was made on the to do list yesterday (all of the the clothes up to three months are washed and put away and I've packed babies hospital bag and finished all of the shower thank yous!).

I have four and a half days of work left....this week is going to take forever.

[mathistm]

Feeling so nauseous the past couple days upon getting up in the morning. Luckily I can walk the dog and go back to sleep. This is the first time since I was 14 that I've been unemployed/have had no school work to do. It is such a strange feeling. I guess I better enjoy it!

[turtletyme]

So gassy, plus with this big baby I feel like I have no room in my stomach. I woke up SO hungry this morning, so I ate some cereal before my OB appt, then immediately started feeling sick after. Also I had what I am pretty sure was an anal fissure show up late last week (all I can say is it felt like a butt cut), but must be healing because it's not bothering me now. The indignities continue!

[erbear]

I think I'm developing carpal tunnel - my joints are all stiff and achy. My hands have only moderately been swelling so this is weird!

More rest for me today. I think I'll try to get a new lemon frapp from Starbucks and bounce on my ball some more. No contractions really yet. She's apparently comfortable driving up my BP but not enough to want to come on her own!

add me to this list! I have a ball that I massage my feet with nightly. It's lovely.

Another night of crap sleep. Heartburn has me up more than having to pee. I'm having cramps that start on my back and wrap around my stomach. They've started to get regular since about 3 this morning - I have a dr appt this morning and I'm hoping she says I'm at least starting to show something! Baby has dropped, but I doubt enough since heartburn still has me so sick. I'm trying to be mentally prepared that she'll tell me nothing is happening since no mucus plug etc yet. We'll see. At least I can come home and nap! I also need to go shopping today, I have an acupuncture appt later (and depending on what happens at my dr appt we'll see about how aggressive that appt is) and then bachelorette at my sister's. I'm hoping that will at least be funny.

[sugarkissed]

I feel pretty good today... And I'm not saying that to brag. In fact, it annoys me because I'm 4 days past my due date and I keep hoping to wake up with contractions or something that gives me hope of having this baby sometime this week.

I'm going to go on the longest walk ever after breakfast. I'm over being patient.

[silv3rlining]

Seriously hormones/emotions/being tired suck....I am sitting in my van after my OB appt crying. I don't even want to go home bc MIL, FIL, DH, and DS are there and all I want to do is cry. And then I want to cry bc all I want to do is sleep but I want to enjoy DS today too.

[bendherova]

TMI alert.

I'm having some pretty uncomfortable vaginal itching. I think it's more related to previously diagnosed lichen sclerosis instead of a yeast infection, but I'll definitely be asking about it tomorrow at my appt!! If lichen, hopefully I'll be able to use an OTC hydrocortisone cream? please? eek. (I stopped the RX when I got KU, not that I can use them for long term anyway).

Yuck.

*non-creepy hugs* I am all the tears rights now too.

Anyone else's pelvis feel like it's ripping apart at the pubic bone? Is this the "pressure" people speak of?

I'm trying to be optimistic about the fact that I feel like I have to poop all the time. Hopefully that means baby is moving on down, right? Right? *sigh* 2ish more weeks...

I'm the same way, I pooped twice before even leaving the house today, and I think I need to go again...

[lunalovegood]

I feel like a dairy cow. Ivy lost 13 ounces over the past week so our wonderful schedule of sleeping for 4 hours a night was stopped and I am nursing and then pumping to supplement the nursing every two hours round the clock. It sucks having to wake her up to nurse in the middle of the night because she was being such a good little sleeper. DH walked into the bedroom last night as I was pumping and asked how I was doing. I honestly mooed at him. I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but damn, my boobs need a break.

silv3rlining I hope you feel better after you get a good cry out

Yes!! Especially trying to roll over or get comfy when lying down ~ ripping apart is a perfect description. When I walk it feels like something is pushing on the same spot, which is what I've assumed is the pressure people talk about.

Sorry you are feeling emotional, I think we all understand that emotional/overwhelmed feeling.  Can you get a good cry in, take a nap and then spend the rest of the day with your DS?

[lalamomma]

I still feel awful from these hemmroids but I'm thankful for even a little relief today. DH finished his mandatory work stuff so if baby comes it's much easier for him to come here, and stay longer woot woot!

I've really noticed this rolling over - ESPECIALLY rolling over on my couch! Ouch!

I got some crying out in the van and then gave my ILs and earful (oops!). DS will go down for a nap in about 45 mins and I will try to as well. Then I might take him to an indoor playroom with bounce houses later.

After cooling off some I realized that if I don't have to be at the hospital until noon I can still take DS to his art class tomorrow morning and I'll be able to eat before going in. So I found some positives

[maddib]

bendherova my doctor prescribed me hydrocortisone cream while I was still pregnant because of the itch. Ouch! It definitely helped. Hopefully you can get some relief soon because I know how horrible it is!!

Great plan! Glad you were able to find some positives.  I wouldn't feel bad about giving your ILs an earful, sometimes it is necessary.  Mine come into town today and I have very mixed emotions about it.
