I was having stabbing muscle cramps every time I stood up. It sucked. I still have some residual pain after lifting/bending. Ughhhh. Anyone know if a support belt would help with that? Or any particular exercises that might help? I mentioned it to the OB but she didn't recommend anything specific, just that it sounded like a muscle strain.Milestones: NoneRants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I also cracked a piece off one of my molars on Friday so now I have a potential crown to look forward to.

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Team Blue!
Any Upcoming Appointments?: I have an appointment with a pulmonologist next week to keep a check on my asthma. Next OB appointment is end of this month.
Symptoms: Back pain if I stand for too long.
Milestones: Will hit the halfway mark on Thursday!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Switched out my pregnancy pillow for just a couple of smaller pillows.... I sleep so much better now! Rolling over at night is getting to be a big hassle and the big pillow made it way harder than it needed it be.
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? I liked math, but was never great at it. I loved journalism/newspaper and was set on doing that as a career. Majored in Communications in college. I'm a technical writer now, so not too far off. But better hours and much better pay than if I had gone the journalism route!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: not right now
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? I guess my favourite subject was English but I went to a super tiny high school (less than 100 kids total across all grades) and we didn't have any fancy classes, just the basics. I decided in high school I was going to be a psychologist and I did go on to get my Ph.D. in psychology but I do wish I had taken more time between my undergrad and graduate school to reassess whether it was what I still wanted to do. In my brain I just got on this track (based on what I don't know, I didn't know that much about what being a psychologist meant) and didn't really explore other career options.

Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? I like physics in high school, mainly because i had an awesome teacher. Maybe math? I used to love those 100 math problem speed tests we did lol (nerd). I hated govt/econ and social studies though. I decided when I was 11 I was going to be a civil engineer, and that's what I graduated with a BS in. Wanted to do structural engineering, but ended up in environmental. I dream of going back to work ha. vvvvvfee, could it just be round ligament pain? When I stand too quickly, I get this sharp, shooting pain through my lower abdomen. I always forget to stand slowly, so it happens fairly often.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Pink, well, at least I hope that's right.
Any Upcoming Appointments?: I have my official A/S on Monday where I hope our elective A/S is confirmed to be correct!
Symptoms: Peeing absolutely all the time, shortness of breath, RLP.
Milestones: Made it half way!!!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I originally thought I had pregnancy rage (which I do feel may have contributed to my mood) but I think a lot of it was caused by stress from work. We just got back from an amazing beach vacation and my H actually commented on a huge change in my personality over the past week. Turns out I've just been highly stressed. I felt so refreshed after vacation, but I'm getting hammered at work again and I don't want to go back to being the grump I was.
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? I loved my AP English classes. I majored in Mass Communications in college but ended up in Human Resources.

kaeguri, i think this different- i always thought RLP was more vertically down either side of your abdomen. i've definitely had that earlier in this pregnancy. it also subsides very quickly. this is a long-lasting cramp, like a charlie horse, horizontally across my lower abdomen when i stand up after sitting for a while. i think i tense up more from the pain and then i just can't get it to relax unless i sit/lie down. it also feels sore when i press down on my pubic bone.

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 9/1. 18w4d.
How big is baby?: bell pepper
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Green
Any Upcoming Appointments?: anatomy scan 4/17
Symptoms: gas and constipation. Not a comfortable combo.
Milestones: Nothing much this past week.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I think I'm finally feeling regular movement. I swear my belly hasn't grown in weeks. Not a bad thing though, just an observation.
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? I did well in the math and sciences. Every one told me to be an engineer so I am. I studied to be a chemical engineer and now work as an environmental engineer so kind of the same thing but not exactly what I set out to do after high school.
On a related note, at my bridal shower they played a game to see how well I knew my future husband. Everyone was amazed that I knew his favorite course in high school was English. He went on to study math and physics in college and earn a masters in engineering. Just because that's what he chose as a career doesn't mean math and science were his favorite subjects. He loves to read and is a great writer. But he saw more opportunities in engineering than English so he chose that path instead. Clearly some of the ladies at the party didn't know that about him though!

Any Upcoming Appointments?: Anatomy scan and cervical length scan this afternoon!! I'm excited/nervous.
Symptoms: RLP, bone soreness around my butt/vag, constipation, just more tired
Milestones: AS today!!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I think reality is starting to set in for MH. He keeps talking about "wow, already halfway done. Already" 😂 Like, it's felt like forever for me, dude.
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school? English was my favorite subject, as I loved reading and writing. When I got to college, psychology was my favorite. I majored in it. I actually started with my company in high school, but I never planned to stay long term. The plan was grad school and becoming a therapist. I realized shortly after graduating college that even though I loved studying psych and wanted to help people, I didn't have the personality for it. Mainly the pressure of that level of responsibility and the additional 'work' that one puts in even not at the office. I decided against taking out another $20k in loans for something I probably wouldn't finish or end up doing, and stayed working at the grocery store. It was a great decision for me, and I love what I'm doing now. Tl; dr, I definitely didn't end up where I thought I would career wise.

How big is baby?: 1lb 1oz & 13oz
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Pink x2
Any Upcoming Appointments?: saw the MFM today, and baby B has dropped almost all the way off the growth curve (between 1 and 2 percent). She said she is not super concerned about it yet because baby A dropped quite a bit too, so it could be several things that are nothing to worry about. But, to make sure, I will have ultrasounds every week for the next 4 weeks to monitor fluid levels in both sacs as well as the blood flow in both umbilical cords. Then we’ll do another growth scan and if there’s no improvment she’ll send me downtown to Texas Childrens for more intense monitoring and extra opinions. I’ve been pretty relaxed this entire pregnancy and am generally good at not worrying, but I really want to cry right now.

Symptoms: tired, Braxton Hicks, and reflux.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm so over Braxton Hicks and I'm sure they are just going to get worse. I've also had a lot of people comment about how big I am already and that makes me a little nervous for third tri.
GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school? Did you end up in the career you thought you'd be in when you were in high school?
I liked art, Spanish, and AP psych in high school. I thought I was going to major psychology in college but realized I didn't want to have to get a masters or higher right away. So, I realized I didn't want to give up taking Spanish and decided to become a teacher instead. It wasn't what I planned on but I enjoy it, most days. Still wound up going back to school for my masters degree anyway but I was able to delay it a few years.
