2. Symptoms? I was hit with really, really awful pelvic pain this week. It's so painful to walk, move, lay down, everything. I'm not sure what to think. I have some of the symptoms of symphysis pubis dysfunction, but overall the pain seems more widespread than SPD is described. Has anyone else had this?
3. Upcoming appt.? Tuesday, thankfully, although I'm disappointed it's with the NP because my doctor is out of town. Hopefully she can help.
4. Rants/raves? Selling a house while pregnant was not such a great idea. I cry and feel hopeless at every iota of negative feedback.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? We usually have Easter dinner at my mom's. My daughter is incredibly excited as usual, so that's fun to see.
Good luck this week lostinfaith225 . I'm happy my H rarely travels. I have so much respect for single parents or parents with a spouse who is often away.
I hope you feel better katelou, and best of luck with the house selling. We will be moving in May or June, and although it's just from 1 rental to another, I'm dreading every aspect of it.
1. How many weeks are you? 19 + 2
2. Symptoms? Feeling really good and not even feeling pregnant. Very fortunate in that regard!
3. Upcoming appts? Regular appointment at the end of March.
4. Rants/raves? It's supposed to rain for the next week and a half. The weather is almost always nice where I live so I'm going to go crazy inside with a toddler if the rain prediction is correct.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? My parents will be visiting. Every year since my brother and I were young, my dad would set up a scavenger hunt for our Easter baskets with each clue leading to the next. He's done the same for DS, and I think DS will be really into it this year so I'm excited for that!
1. How many weeks are you? 21 weeks and 1 day 2. Symptoms? Pretty normal complaints: more tired, round ligament pain, and already getting some Braxton hicks randomly (third baby means sooner I guess). Other than that I actually feel pretty good and I'm trying to soak it up before third tri hits! 3. Upcoming appts? Not until later this month. 4. Rants/raves? My 5 year old took a pocket knife from lowes today, my husband found it behind his pillow when he was stripping the bed. We had to have a very serious talk and he is writing an apology so he can take it back. But his reason was kind of sad/cute as scary as it was. He said he just wanted to be like his daddy and Pawpaw. 5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Just realized this week that it was this month so I haven't planned it yet. We usually host and have family over though.

katelou are you having cramping too? I had horrible pelvic pain and cramping on Thurs/Fri and they thought I was going into preterm labor when j called. When I saw OB it turns out I was severely constipated from my zofran. Any chance of constipation?

Thank you for the reply! It's definitely not constipation though (I had 7 ft of intestine removed, it's literally impossible ) it hurts more when I move and in certain positions, so it feels more muscle/ligament/joint related.

1. How many weeks are you? 20+1
2. Symptoms? Nausea is gone! Woot! Lots of back pain though, and RLP
3. Upcoming appts? A/S March 11, but I'm going to see if I can rebook elsewhere for the week after because that date is really awkward for me (looks bad calling in sick the day before March break!)
4. Rants/raves? Looking forward to March break to get the ball rolling on DS' big boy room. Need to move stuff out, paint, and shop for a dresser. It's won't all get done on the break, but hopefully I'll get a good chunk done.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? I've invited my family here for Easter Sunday dinner.
2. Hip pain but that's about it. Craving mashed potatoes and hot sauce. Not together.
3. OB appt on Thursday. Apprehensive but also looking forward to it
4. Hip pain sucks I am getting more and more nervous about going back to work. I am having lots of fun crocheting though and stared on a pair of slippers today
5, my birthday is good Friday this year so no idea what I'll do for that. Probably nothing. We have the kids that weekend so I'll probably hide eggs and we'll likely have dinner with my parents at some point.

Post by lostinfaith225 on 3 hours ago 1. How many weeks are you? 21 weeks 3 days
2. Symptoms? not a whole lot, movement and growing belly, acne
3. Upcoming appts? I had one scheduled for thursday but I just recieved and automated call saying that I need to reschedule because the office has a scheduling conflict so I guess I will be calling for a new appt tomorrow morning.
4. Rants/raves? I need more time in a day at least until this baby is born then I probably need more. So many projects to do and never enough time. Every weekend I have so many things I would like to accomplish and I never get as much done as I want.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Maybe having MH Parents over to a meal and have DD look for some eggs. Have not finalized any of that.
2. Symptoms: pelvic pain has arrived! It keeps me awake at night!
3. Rants/raves: nothing really, DS has been extra whiny this weekend, I'm kind of excited for work tomorrow lol
4. Appts: just had one Friday, everything is looking good, GD test next month
Easter plans: my parents always have Easter for the whole extended family. This year were having either a baked potatoe bar or nacho bar, I'm really excited! Also I'm excited for DS to get an Easter basket for the first time!

1. How many weeks are you? 19+1
2. Symptoms? Felt some more movement today but it is so sporadic still.
3. Upcoming appts? 3/18 for my A/S.
4. Rants/raves? I hate that my A/S still seems so far away. I have also been battling a cold the past few days and I also lost my voice but I think I am finally getting better. I really hate having a cold!
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Other than egg hunting with DS we have no plans. We live too far away from our families to go to Easter dinner so I may make something special but I am not sure.

1. How many weeks are you? 19+3 so close to half.
2. Symptoms? Lots of rolls and kicks, super congested
3. Upcoming appts? Thursday is my A/S and that's where we'll learn the sex. I'm so excited!
4. Rants/raves? I'm visiting my family and had a little wine and it's so good. Oh, booze, I miss you so! I have to pee every 3 minutes. I drink water all day and my pee is still yellow and smelly half the time. Ew.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? None. My husband works every Sunday and we don't practice any religion.

1. 22w0d
2. Symptoms? Still dealing with HG. Had to go to OB on Fri as they thought I was in preterm labor. Turns out the zofran caused severe constipation. So thank goodness my cervix was long and closed still.
3. I have a regular OB appt on Wed.
4. I'm just so over throwing up daily and feeling like crap. I don't really ever leave house and I feel bad H had had to help me out for so long.

lovegrilledcheese, so glad to hear things are ok and you're not in preterm labor. But I hope you start to feel better so you can enjoy some of this pregnancy!

Hugs!! Hg sucks. Are you doing stool softener? I am taking it 2x a day. It helps. I hope you get a little relief soon!

katelou I'm convinced that Evie is trying to push her way out, my pain has been so bad. I've been using a support belt that has helped a bit.
lovegrilledcheese every time I think I am better and can give up the zofran I start puking again. So I've just been downing stool softeners.
1. 22w 4days
2. Nausea, RLP, hard to breathe and my ribs are now killing me!
3. We have our hospital tour Thursday and fetal echo on the 16th.
4. My cold turning into bronchitis hasn't helped with the breathing situation but the antibiotics seem to be helping.
5. GTKY: We always do church and then Sunday lunch with my mom and siblings. Usually hide eggs and make Easter baskets for the kids and each other (H is a giant kid himself so it's always silly and fun, one year I put a kid's toy wrestling belt in his basket and we use it as a championship trophy for our game nights now.) DD will be in Disney with her dad for spring break so we'll give her hers early or the weekend after.

1. How far along? 24 weeks Tuesday! V-Day has arrived.
2. Symptoms? Lower back pain, karate chops from the nugget in my ute, craving all the ice cream
3. Upcoming appts? Regular OB and GTT on the 18th.
4. Rants/raves? Due to my decreased lung capacity and function, my OB and pulmonologist ordered an overnight pulse oximetry test (measures the level of oxygen in my blood while sleeping). I did it on Wednesday night and it came back lower than my past ones, but still in normal range. I will do another at 35 weeks unless I start having breathing difficulties!
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Typically we go to MH's parents and eat a lunch and Easter egg hunt for the kids. I think we will go, but not for the whole thing. The ILs are exhausting as is, and adding a 4 hour round trip to it just seems daunting.
2. Symptoms? My pelvis feels like it is breaking in half, especially if I walk too much. Just starting to feel large and in charge.
3. Upcoming appts? Not until April.
4. Rants/raves? I am a bummed I am having so much pelvic discomfort. There is so much I want to be able to do with DS this Spring and I really hope this doesn't end up limiting that.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Eat ham with my family.
katelou, I am having a fair amount of discomfort from SPD. It mostly feels like my pelvis is breaking in half, especially when I stand up and it is usually worse when I do too much. And there is no magic position that makes it go away. I would give your doctor a call just to check in, though. Sometimes they recommend those pregnancy support belt things to help. I never used one but if it continues I may consider.
2. Symptoms? Movement (DH felt outside movement for the first time this weekend!), and TMI I need to do Kegels badly. Sneezing is not my friend.
3. Upcoming appts? 4/1 for regular OB appt.
4. Rants/raves? I'm on my fourth cold of this winter and it's the worst one yet. Called out of work today. I just cannot get better and I'm so tired of it.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? We'll be visiting the in-laws so plenty of beach and relax time!
2. Symptoms? Still sick in the early mornings and evenings, but I'm not throwing up every single day so that's an improvement. Still on mostly bed rest until at least the end of April.
3. Upcoming appts? 3/30 for a check up.
4. Rants/raves? Baby is carrying SO DARN LOW. I look ridiculous and it hurts. Also, she was kicking like a ninja yesterday. It was the first time she'd kicked that hard and it HURT.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Not yet, but we'll probably eat lunch with my parents and grandma.
3. Upcoming appts? Today! I have my A/S, unfortunately H isn't coming. boo.
4. Rants/raves? We got our glider and I LOVE it, it's perfect for us tall people. I'm so excited to work on the nursery! I spent hours cleaning and going through baby clothes yesterday and I am majorly pooped.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? H and I are taking a long weekend to go on a beach trip. My mom is coming to visit and watch DD, so she will do an egg hunt for her. It will be her first and I think she is going to love it!

Are you able to go on your CA trip? (You are the one who's supposed to go to San Francisco right?)
2. Symptoms? The biggest thing lately is the my mid-back has been killingggggg me. I sort of found out by accident yesterday that I think a lot of it is because baby girl is starting to invade my ribs. If I gently push my ute down, away from from my ribs a little it helps. Although I'm also sure a huge part of it is that I've gained 16 pounds already. Trying to find a balance of resting when it really hurts and continuing to try and keep those muscles building!
3. Upcoming appts? Standard monthly checkup not til the 31st
4. Rants/raves? A little disappointed with my rapid weight gain, again because it seems to be faster than what they recommend. Trying to just focus on baby girl getting bigger and stronger though. I said this in the weight gain thread, but I'm hoping that now that the weather is warming up I'll be able to get out and just walk some more along with the prenatal workout dvd's I got.
5. Gtky: Any Easter plans? Probably just going to my SIL's. She's the only one who is local and its hard for us to travel anywhere for Easter since we're trying not to take time off.
2. Symptoms? Still sick in the early mornings and evenings, but I'm not throwing up every single day so that's an improvement. Still on mostly bed rest until at least the end of April.

Are you able to go on your CA trip? (You are the one who's supposed to go to San Francisco right?)
That's me. Nope, can't go. It was supposed to be this week. Instead, I'm on bed rest (except I can go in to work if I promise to sit all the time).
cocobellaf, I'm so sorry. I hope you can reschedule your trip and get off bed rest soon! But if it makes you feel any better, I live in the SF Bay Area and the weather sucks this week. Nothing but rain and flooding.
