I miss sleep. I can only sleep for like an hour before i wake up because something is uncomfortable and i have to reposition myself. So even if I'm getting enough sleep total over night, I'm up so often I'm never rested. I don't remember this starting so early with DS1.

I can't remember if I've mentioned this before but nosebleeds have been plaguing me. Ovia was kind enough to remind me in my weekly update how it's normal. It's still gross and awkward when you get one around your coworkers.

I can't stop eating. Is that a symptom? lol
Now to be serious. I get SO congested at night. I wake up and my mouth is super dry because I can't breathe through my nose. If I try to blow my nose when I wake up there is nothing there...? It has been like this most of the pregnancy, I'm assuming it is pregnancy rhinitis. Sucks so much.

I've reached that point in pregnancy where if something falls on the floor, it's dead to me. Unless my 3 year old is kind enough to retrieve it.

Some mild pain in the pubis area. I wouldn't classify it as SPD or anything though, it really only bothers me after sleeping and getting out of bed/rolling over. It seems to help if I can lay on my back for a few minutes before getting up, and sometimes I'll feel it pop back into place, then I don't feel it anymore. I remember this with DS too though, it started around the same time, right after hitting 3rd tri.

Tailbone pain! I asked my OB about t and she said it's possible the positioning of the baby could bruise my tailbone and that those take awhile to heal. Sitting on hard furniture all day doesn't help - i.e - all the furniture in a typical elementary classroom.
On the plus side, the nausea seems to have finally disappeared after 29 weeks!!!

CoachTsWife, August Blooms, I've been congested from the start (like since January!) and is the only symptom similar when carrying DS. It's so dry where we live that nosebleeds are common occurrences for hubs and I. What I've been doing is to use saline spray when I wake up before attempting to blow my nose or steam from the shower am and night helps me clean out my nose. If only hubs would listen but he's stubborn so w/e. Also I feel these past couple of weeks, the congestion has gotten worse and when I wake up, my nose looks bigger 😖 And swollen like I have a severe cold. Hopefully not a symptom, rather from walking/ too much activity from yesterday and today, but my left foot arch is aching 😐. I was ironing and had to stop. Meh! Sleep is also elusive at this point so I've given up being miserable about it. However, my temp control at night with finally finding the right weight cover has been great, yay! To little victories. I mean i still somehow am sweating like a hog so that's a drag.

I still feel really good, which I'm always surprised by. I know that sounds like a humble brag, but I don't mean it to be. Being a FTM, I wasn't sure what to expect at any point during pregnancy so I'm pleased that I still feel good.
My back is hurting, but it's 100% my fault because I spend a lot of time in a slumped position when I'm on the sofa. Laying down fixes it and makes me feel all better.
Peeing is my struggle these days. Sitting on the toilet makes my labia/vag feel SO swollen and sometimes really painful to wipe. Doc said it's normal and suggested I lift my belly when it's bad. It works ~30% of the time. Oh well!

Damn those hurt my calves! I had so many leg cramps last time, several a week. I even had them during labor while pushing. :/ It was the worst! I've only had 1 or 2 so far this time, amazingly. |

Add me to the sleeping woes and nose congestion/nose bleed symptoms. Also - I don't bother getting anything off the floor...that went out the door weeks and weeks ago 😅. Fortunately, DS loves to be a helper and pick things up for me. He likes to play "tidy up" and put his toys away in their "homes" too. I have a weird kid.
