Hey ladies! This weekend was super busy and yesterday I spent trying to unplug and rest up so I feel like I've been out of the loop for days! Thought I'd catch up with you with a good ole symptoms thread, since I didn't see one in the recent posts.
I'll start by saying... I had my first normal poop today and wowza I feel like a new woman. I think I got a mild touch of food poisoning on Thirsday so I had the sharts for four straight days. Finally back to normal! WOOHOO. Other than that, just trucking right along through week 18.
My breasts continue to hate me. Spoke to midwife yesterday and she said to massage my boob with castor oil b/c lump is most likely clogged milk duct. She thinks I should wait for my next appointment which is in 3 weeks to do a breast exam.
Anyone else' boobs feel like they're prepping a whole deal for breastfeeding?
I got my first leg cramps in the middle of the night. I can't remember the last time I got out of bed that fast. Ouch! The worst of the pain let up when I stood up and stretched some, but I could feel my calves for the rest of the night if that makes sense.
Heartburn, ugh. Mostly my fault for cramming all that food in there, but still. Ugh. (And I want a brownie and a lemon square, pleaseandthankyou. Go away heartburn so I can eat some more, lol.)

Oh my god. I need a lemon square now. This is all your fault!

I can't seem to find the right way to sleep and wake up with back aches. I move so much and the pillows go out of place. I might have to give in and get that huge Leachco pillow. I'm also starting to eat all the food.

noeliav I now have a new goal for the day. Bake brownies, and then try not to eat the whole tray!
I was up til almost 1am after helping my parents pack up little brother's stuff that was getting shipped to Hawaii today, and then I got up at 6:20 to get DD ready for school. I am tired, and the nausea is hanging on. OF COURSE DS only had a 45 minute nap. You know, instead of the usual 2 hrs. I NEED a nap today, child, can't you just cooperate??
The low back pain on one side (sciatica, maybe?) kicked in last week, and it's been bothering me on and off since then. Today - UGH. I think I made it worse when I leaned over to plug something in behind the kitchen table, and I've been limping around ever since.
So obviously, tomorrow afternoon I have to work a job at, like, the one building we go to that doesn't have an elevator. Awesome. <_<

I've cried enough for today over silly things, so that's no fun. I also feel like my belly has completely popped over the past 4-5 days and it looks so much bigger than even one week ago. I have my a/s tomorrow though so I'm beyond excited to see baby again!

I've been having terrible headaches on and off the past month, keeping them somewhat under control daily with tylenol and coffee. A bad one was triggered on Saturday that culminated in a 3 day long migraine. Torture! Finally.called my OB yesterday and she prescribed me something that already seems to be working so that is pleasing!
Oh! AND this evening I felt LO move for the first time! So cool and exciting!
Having stomach issues today. Worried about the appointment with my foot doc tomorrow. I've been off work for three months with a foot injury. I need clearance to go back to work Thursday since my FMLA runs out. Also nervous about returning to work. While I hate being stuck at home it was nice not to have to deal with MS and headaches at work.

Hope your appointment goes well and you can get back to work smoothly! I've been out since June on workers comp injury and my FMLA long ago ran out.. I know how frustrating and daunting the whole thing can be! Hopefully your foot is healed and you can get back to work! FX for you!

Thank you! It is nice to have someone who understands what I've been going through. Sorry you are injured as well and hope you are healing.
