So I'm currently sitting up in bed trying to force myself to burp. I have a pain in my chest that I can't bare. I gulped down a bottle of water and had a small burp but can't seem to get it all out. I don't want to drink a soda but I just might have to.
My stupid areolas are so swollen and painful, my nips are pretty much inverted. This never happened with my first pregnancy. Wtf? Did BF-ing draw more veins to the surface or something? Also, when I push them back, I get that buzzing feeling like I did when my milk was coming in, but am not lactating or leaking at all.

My areolas are painful as well, but worse than that they're fucking huge! Every few days they seem to get bigger and bigger... if it keeps up like this, by the time LO arrives they'll be the size of his head.

Ditto DS had latching issues his first week, and I'm worried this one doesn't have a chance of latching if they swell any more.
My only TMI is that I thought I was in the clear as far as morning sickness goes and now it's hitting me. I breezed through first tri without a single wave of nausea but it's hitting me like a ton of bricks now. I get really bad motion sickness and I swear that every time this baby rolls around or moves it feels like I'm standing on a boat or sitting in an airplane. I had to take a styrofoam cup with me when I was commuting home last night because I just knew I was going to puke. There's nothing quite like driving home with a cup of vomit. Cheers!
I just joined the heartburn/ acid reflux club. Everytime i lay down I start to vomit.. Even with tums/ Zantac
Yep, the reflux has really stepped up a notch in the last week. I get horrible acid burn in my throat every afternoon/evening now. I will be asking my midwife about it on Thursday. Not really TMI, just commiseration.
I haven't pooped for 3 days. I'm actually quite scared what my body is going to do to me when it finally decides it's ready. And I have an appointment on Friday so I'm hoping I poop a bunch before then to keep my weight down (ha!!!)
And another TMI note... I've had so much CM lately... even wearing a liner gets uncomfortable. Hooray for fun pregnancy symptoms.
The other day I had to drink some Miralax. I've been going regularly for four days now. I should have done it sooner.
I had it in my juice and I couldn't tell it was there.

I wore these tight Under Amor pants yesterday and decided I couldn't wear underwear because you could see them.................. NEVER AGAIN! it was like my discharge doubled just because I wasn't wearing underwear! Luckily It was only to run a couple errands!
The veins in my boobs have gotten so big and pronounced my chest and boobs look bruised. I sat looking in the mirror, for entirely too long, trying to figure out if I did in fact hurt myself.
Vag sweat is becoming a "thing", now. I was at the gym the other day doing leg press, and a guy walked by as I was doing a set and stared in that area, and gave a weird look and kept walking. I went in the locker room after, and saw the biggest sweat wet spot down there. Looked like I peed myself!

Lol!! Oh I know the feeling! I sweat a lot anyway but it seems to have gotten worse down there and it really looks like I peed. Also now that I look pregnant vs just maybe she is pregnant maybe she is chubby, I feel more people look at me while I'm working out. Do you get that?

ilovejosh- YES. It's rather annoying. I feel like they are looking at me for one of three reasons: 1) "Ummm...should she be working out that hard? I mean-- she's pregnant!" 2) "Wow! Look at her working out while pregnant! Go her!" 3) "Whoa...she is getting FAT! Wait-- is she pregnant?!?!"

Yes to all of the above! I was doing pull ups bc I still feel comfortable doing them and I swear this old man was staring at me just so obviously. Like he was afraid my water was going to break right there in the gym lol. I also still do hiit training on the treadmill as well and people always do a double take. I feel like an exotic animal or something and I don't care for it much.

Another pooping story.
I've been sooo unable to go. I finally go (yesterday)- and it is BRIGHT green. I completely forgot about the icing that was on my friend's son's birthday cake- a VIBRANT green (to make a cute fish!). I was freaked out for a solid 5 seconds until I remembered the cake from SATURDAY.
I'm officially a gas ass! I've always been a burper, not a farter (hate that word), but now I can't burp and they randomly machine gun out of my ass!!! I've also never been one to pass gas in front of DH, but it's absolutely uncontrollable and I don't know it's coming 99% of the time. Worst part is that I find it so fucking funny, like can't catch my breath laughing! I can't tell if DH finds me disgusting or if he's trying not to laugh in fear of encouraging "bad behavior" ha ha!
And lgsdesigner I'm right there with you with the sweaty swamp vag! Blech

Yes- swamp crotch is a real thing. And amelandre I went bra shopping with my mom this weekend. First time she saw my preggo boobs. And she informed me (I'm a FTM) that latching requires baby to get the areola in his mouth and now I have the same fear that giant areolas will make it very difficult to BF.
I have serious Sas-crotch. I was going to try home sugaring, but I think this will require a weed whacker first. Hopefully I can make it to Home Depot before Valentine's Day.
Oh, and to those with the big areolas, my DD had trouble latching onto mine because they were so big, but DS had no problems. With my DD I used nipple shields and it made 1000% difference.

This happened to me yesterday in spin class. I walked out holding my shoes in front of my lady garden so no one would see.

I only a quick search but this site says that it doesn't matter how much areola goes into their mouths, just amount of breast tissue. Apparently there are different techniques for different sized breasts to facilitate this. I need to buy a breastfeeding reference book and I think the suggestion thread for it was on The Dump...
An older man that I work with suggested The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. His wife is a doula and she recommends this book to everyone. I have to admit that I haven't purchased it yet but it's on my list of things to buy.

Thanks for the info! I should have done some researching myself. But now I will also buy the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. Don't need to psych myself out even more!

What is sugaring?
I had to use a nipple shield with DD due to flat nipples. They are very helpful, but I would suggest trying to work out your latch issues without the shield or else it's hard to ditch it!
I had to use nipple shields with my son until I stopped getting so crazy engorged. That's where his latch issues came from, so I'm like, shit, if I wasn't swollen at all before baby last time and we had that hard of a go, this time is going to be so rough

Thank you for making me crack up at my desk imagining going to Home Depot for a weed whacker for your Sas-crotch. T&Ps for your Sas-crotch!
