Let's hear it ladies as many of us are approaching if not already in our last trimester! How has this happened. In any case I'm glad especially since we all now have viable babies!
I edited the thread title. I dunno...i feel like doing a combo of this is more appropriate? or did you guys want a separate TMI thread on Tuesdays?

Nausea has started to creep back into my daily life, wtf nausea go away. I'm hoping it's just acid reflux related and taking my Zantac earlier will help combat it.
Otherwise, still feeling pretty good. My legs are starting to bother me, I have compression socks but I think I need the full leg stockings. Going to the Y for a half hour on the treadmill makes me feel like I've been walking at the amusement park or something for a full day.

I just went off my unisom and B6, and i am having nausea again. Back to gagging like crazy when i brush my teeth, but no throwing up yet, and i took my last pill Friday night. I'm also having trouble falling asleep at night because baby throws a dance party every time i lay down, but i know I'll miss that when he is here, so I'm trying to just enjoy that as the only time i can really focus on just the inside baby.

I can't stop eating chocolate. Is that a symptom?

I can't stop eating chocolate. Is that a symptom? Yesterday I went to the store and purchased Oreo O's, Hersheys chocolate pudding, a Cherry Pepsi and something else that I can't remember now. Few regrets. |

moonandback141, ok well I eat Reese's everyday. Reese's have sticks now and sometimes I prefer them over the cups. AFM - i'm just tired all the time and walking up the stairs leaves me out of breath.

Few regrets. I bought double-stuffed Oreos last week at the grocery store - you know, for DD. Guess who has eaten the majority of the package. |

Also i want to add we have been watching Cutthroat kitchen on Hulu after DS goes to bed, and i cannot watch them cook anything without wanting it really bad. Even things that i normally hate. Like i hate the flavor of coconut, and last night i was desperate for some Thai coconut soup

Add me to the unstoppable eating of sweets - my dessert of choice is soft chocolate chip cookies made by the bakery at my grocery store. I get a family size box (~60 cookies) and eat the whole box myself within a week. Woops.

In honor of TMI Tuesday, I'd like to share the fact that I think I have hemorrhoids. Insofar as, parts of me that used to be on the inside are now on the outside.  |

My SI joint is killing me. I had one of my co-workers adjust it yesterday and it's feeling better today. Constipation is lingering. Still tired- I'm in bed by 9:30 every night.

I feel like this is a combo of symptoms and TMI anyway: I have reached the delightful stage of pregnancy where I pretty much constantly feel like I have to pee, yet 50% of bathroom visits yield little more than a few drops. Aaahhh!
Definitely remember this from last time, but I had blocked it out until now. I wonder what other joys await in the next 11 weeks...

Few regrets. Thank you for reminding me about Oreo Os! Cereal is pretty much its own food group for me during pregnancy, and I meant to find these when they came out. Just need to hit a grocery store that carries them! |

Got my free slurpee today. How much do those usually cost? I'm debating another one tomorrow.

Omg - this turned into the food thread! Did not expect to get so appetized by reading this! seventythree I am totally at the having to constantly pee all the time phase! I go like every 90 - 120 minutes. We're using up SO MUCH TOILET PAPER - DH is exasperated when I tell him to pick up more from the grocery store. I remember this with DS too. I carried DS really low, and this baby is hanging low as well - puts a lot of pressure on my bladder. I've actually carried both babies so low, that I don't really think I've ever experienced the whole rib kicking thing that people talk about. Other than that - it feels like my bump is going to rip open a-la Sigourney Weaver in Alien. So tight...so much stretching. I can just sense the stretch marks waiting to come out in more numbers...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Yes to peeing all the time - I thankfully my collegues were so good about covering my classroom with DD and I'm hoping for the same when school starts back up again. I swear I'm up 3 or more times at night alone peeing!
Some of the baby movements have felt more painful this time around, like stiff, straight leg type kicks where I've kind of had to (gently) push back. I don't remember this with DD till she was too big to move around.

And yes, I'm mildly ashamed at how often during the day I eat them. |

My belly button is an outie! Now I am excited to clean it out  Here's an unattractive TMI - I started noticing a horrid extra flab of skin under my armpits. I remember it from DS and know now that it's pregnancy related but it's terribly unsightly when I am in tank tops which is 100% of the time these days with the hot weather. It's gross and just unattractive. ??? |

Ladies, please have a bite or 2 of cookies or brownies or whatever on behalf of me. I decided even though it appears I passed the 3 hr GD test, I've decided to just be good and watch my sugar and refined carb intake.  |

I have felt more tired the last couple evenings, but other than that I actually feel really good! AC is seeming to be helping prevent swelling this time around and I'm off work for the summer so it's easy to take lots of breaks etc. I will be back at work in September but the girl covering my mat leave also starts then so I will be able to sit and relax a lot, mostly paperwork and phone calls getting the new school year going. And i'm only part time anyways so it should be fine!

So last time, I had dark blemishes pop up on my face, mainly under my eye socket. They never went away, just lightened a little bit. With this pregnancy, they've darkened again and more have popped up on my face - the worse part is that the additional blemishes are right under my lip so it looks like I have a mustache!!! Ugh...

With this pregnancy, they've darkened again and more have popped up on my face - the worse part is that the additional blemishes are right under my lip so it looks like I have a mustache!!! Ugh... I think this is called melasma- like dark spots on your face? One thing that can help lighten and even then out is vitamin C serum - which is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I use this one. It's not expensive and helps lighten PIH and melasma. The fix is not permanent though...you have to keep using it. But it's cheap and effective. Just a word of warning - vitamin C oxidizes if left in the sun, so if the serum is orange or dark yellow - stop using it! I store mine in the fridge and wrap it in tin foil, so it lasts longer and doesn't oxidize. Vitamin C also has other anti-aging benefits, which is nice! It is also not photosensitizing (i.e. - makes you more sensitive to the sun), like other AHA/BHA active treatments for pigmentation and aging issues. www.wishtrend.com/skin-care/502-vitamin-c20-serum-ost.html |

littleowl913, I get melasma during pregnancy. Last time I had it on the sides of my face so it kinda just looked like bronzer? lol I was ULTRA sensitive to the sun last pregnancy. I don't seem to be quite as sensitive this time, but I have a dark blotch on my belly and a small place or two on my face that I doubt anyone notices. Also, last time my linea negra was SUPER DARK - it was finally almost gone when I got pregnant again. This time is isn't nearly as dark - yet. Pregnancy is so weird in some ways and it is nuts how each pregnancy is so different.
