Symptoms week of June 26

[duskymonkey]

What's shakin ladies! Complain all you want here this week.

I still have the same symptoms from last week. Nothing new so I suppose that's good. However, I slept horribly last night and I felt like a gigantic hot air balloon. At first I was worried cos my abdomen was so tight and taut I thought I was having major HB or labour!!! but it just didn't let up most of the evening and at night and I was incredibly uncomfortable. It must have subsided sometime last night and I woke up feeling much better but really really tired. I think I may need to get simethicone (sp? ) to relieve some of my gas. Also I forgot to mention that I've had nasal congestion practically since January this yr! contributed my colds at the beginning of the year but it still hasn't let up so really bad nasal congestion still over here.

I am so emotional. I cry easy when I'm not pregnant but now that I'm pregnant I'm crying about everything. This morning I cried while watching Masterchef, I couldn't believe myself. Aside from the emotional symptoms, my skin has been super dry and the stretching going on has been painful at times. The baby is sitting low so I'm having pressure/a heavy feeling down low that is making bending and walking feel awkward. I'm sure I will be back in this thread later this week to complain.

My back is starting to bother me when I work out and do certain exercises!
Also been crying a lot, I was on the beach the other day thinking of LO and started bawling! Lol

My stomach is sooo itchy already. It's also getting difficult to get up from laying down. Especially in the tub. Everything is happening so much sooner this time around. I don't want to think how miserable 35+ weeks will be.

Braxton Hicks are in full force lately. Also, add me to the super emotional club. I just wanted to hold and cuddle DD all weekend while we were on vacation, thinking about how she is growing up so fast and will be a big sis soon. Glad to know I'm not in this boat alone.

This is exactly me. LT for commiseration.

Mostly the same as last week. Also super emotional. BH have started (thanks for helping me confirm in the other thread). Some new stretch marks that I'm not happy about. Super winded/out of breath.

But my hair and skin look great, so that's cool, right? (I hope I didn't jinx it).

+whatever to back pain. More so my hips. If I stand for long periods of time my right hip specifically starts hurting.

MOTN insomnia started a few days ago. I feel asleep, but realize I'm actually wide awake. It's super weird.

TMI maybe. Also, had a sex dream last night. Orgasm and all. Those are always discombobulating to wake up from.

You can add me to the BH club, I actually recorded my first one at 20 weeks, and asked my doc about them at my AS at 21 weeks. He said we actually get them in first tri (and onward) but most people don't feel them then. Tl;Dr - they're normal, even in early pregnancy.

Other then that, nothing really new from last week. Still fighting the good fight against heartburn on a daily basis, and this stupid hormonal acne. Sigh.

Also thinking since my heartburn started wayyyy earlier than last time I might end up needing something more effective then TUMS but they are working for now!

I'm pretty sure some of my emotions are pregnancy related. I have had very vivid dreams. Heartburn is definitely a thing in my life, especially in the evenings.

[Taitai]

duskymonkey Yes to the nasal congestion - I had that with DS as well. I always need tissues around!

I am more emotional than normal too - I normally am pretty even keel, but the other day I found myself sobbing while watching Moana...like, not even at a very sad spot. She was singing and sailing her boat, I was like - "find yourself girl!!!" Ugh...🙄

Also add to the list --> stretching pains, tight bump, heartburn, vivid dreams, feeling like my hips are tearing apart, and really quickly growing hair/nails. I swear I just trimmed my nails and they are so long again!

[duskymonkey]

I forgot about the emotional part. This happened a couple wks ago though at the studio. Someone put on Forrest Gump and I started bawling at the end and everyone got really concerned. Haha!

[littleowl913]

Also super emotional. I also think my joints are very loose. Sometimes when I walk either my knee or ankle make popping sounds like I'm cracking my knuckles.

[thatgirlrachel]

My sciatic nerve pain is in full force too. I never had it with DD. But if I, or baby, moves just the right way it will bring me to my knees.

[blackmamba]

I have a new one, might be TMI. Hemorrhoids. Yuck.

[duskymonkey]

blackmamba, oh dear! That may be the worst. Touch wood I've never experienced it. I know yours is pregnancy related but DH had an issue yrs ago and I read somewhere that sitting on the John too long is one of the causes. He's since stopped sitting on it longer than he needs to and with extra fruits and veg he hasn't had an issue since. He also had to sit on the donut for a while.

Tucks pad, preparation H, and lots of water have made a difference already. I just want to be done with this.

Add me to the hip pain club. We ran a lap around the building at bootcamp the other day and I could barely walk afterwards! Baby girl is sitting rather low - all the movement I feel is wayyyyy down below. DD1 was always up in my ribs. I've been getting some cramps here and there which I'm sure is related to baby's position. Other than that some mild heartburn and not being able to sleep on my stomach anymore which will take some getting used to.

[littleowl913]

I've been having a problem where I thought I have fully emptied my bladder but after I stand up more pee trickles out. I try to make sure it's empty - I lean forward, stand up but it happens most of the time.
