I begin to notice my memory going to absolute pots this last week. Here I was thinking I might be spared since it really hasn't been all that terrible. How naive i am Bwahaha!
Also, I'm starting to see some stretch marks around my belly button which I never had the last time, they were around the bottom of the bump. Booo! Again thought I was spared the last time but I saw them appear instantly almost overnight 2 wks before my edd. You just can't win.🤷🏻♀️
Oh yeah....see I even forgot to start this thread yesterday

The heartburn is ridiculous. Also the constipation. I'm now the person drinking prune juice every morning. And i think chocolate might be off limits now because of the heartburn.

trinitrotoluene I feel ya. Here is my no-no list of heartburn-inducing foods: anything spicy, anything fried (except potatoes thank God), tomatoes and tomato based products, raspberries (for whatever reason), orange juice, veggie straws (but chips are fine. What?) and tap water. Oh and I had a sip of wine the other night and instantly regretted it. Just a tiny sip caused unbearable and instantaneous heartburn.

It's like I wake up 29 weeks pregnant and go to bed 39 weeks pregnant. I'm soo sore and feel like a huge immobile whale at the end of the day.

I had a purchase approval form signed at work two weeks ago and when I went to turn it in for end of month yesterday, it was nowhere to be found. I remember doing the damn form and even spoke to my boss about it when I did it. And *poof* - it just vanished. It's driving me insane.
So I guess my symptom is just overall pregnancy brain.

My pelvis had been sore/would crack when I moved in certain positions. This mostly occurred at night/in bed/getting out of bed in the morning. I started sleeping sitting up on the couch and it got better. I mentioned it to my doctor, but since the pain wasn't that bad and the adjustment to my sleeping position seemed to resolve things, the doctor didn't seem concerned.
Over the weekend, DS and I were playing in the pool. At one point, he decided to jump in suddenly. He was headed straight for me, not the water. I could either catch him or let him land on me. I decided to catch him and carry him to the side of the pool. I immediately felt a shooting pain in my pelvis. For the rest of the weekend, I couldn't lift my legs more than an inch or two off the ground and every step felt like I was being kicked in the crotch. I took it easy the rest of the weekend and I'm feeling better now. No pain, but a lot of pressure and occasional soreness.
I'm assuming it's pelvic girdle pain. Based on what I've been reading and hearing from you all, I don't think it's SPD, but I plan to talk to my doctor again.

RLP this week for me, as well as the usual heartburn. I've been eating a plum a day and that has really helped my bowel movements which is... just the best news ever to me.

I'm so sore and feel like I'm waddling constantly. Getting up and down is nearly impossible and as excited as I am for this baby, and as much as I hope he stays put till this due date, I am so ready to be done with pregnancy.

I'm definitely feeling more clumsy lately. I can't hold on to things and it hurts to bend down and pick them up. Then I just drop them again.

I pretty much have the same heartburn inducing list, right down to the water (wtf - who knew water could cause heartburn?!?!) |

My heartburn has returned. I had a bit of a reprieve with the switch to the GD diet, but now I think it's just a thing with the baby pressing on everything.

Getting up and down is nearly impossible and as excited as I am for this baby, and as much as I hope he stays put till this due date, I am so ready to be done with pregnancy. This is exactly how I'm feeling. Most days after I pick up DD from daycare, I'm totally wiped. She always wants me to dance with her or do activities and I seriously cannot bc I'm at the end of my pain threshold. I really, really hate it. I cant even dance with my kid! It's been making me feel so guilty. |

I also have to pee every 20 minutes, so that's been super fun.

Sounds like you have a mild case (not a doc, obv). Glad you're finding out what helps with the pain! |

-Reflux every night no matter what I eat. No heartburn, back of the throat burning.
-Constipation, like significant. Scale says I've gained like 8 pounds since my last appointment and I swear its from this and bloat. I've been taking Miralax every day, Colace, drinking coffee, and eating raisin bran. Hopefully it gets better soon :-\
- I feel like a huge bloated whale and am totally in agreement with the not being able to play with DD at night. I'm having trouble moving around at work and just feel massive. I didn't feel like this with DD1 until like 36 weeks.
-SPD- my SI joint clicks/shifts when I walk especially if I am sitting on the floor and then get up. Also general pelvic floor pressure- I carried really high with my 1st pregnancy and didn't really feel this. But this time around baby is much lower and my lower abs/pelvis feel the difference. Fun times...

A funny TMI: I was giving 2yo DD a bath last night, and while leaning over the tub I let out one of those lovely accidental pregnancy farts. DD looks up and says "daddy?"
Not sure whether to laugh that she associates that with MH, or cringe that I apparently made a man-sized fart.

Oh, and add me to team heartburn. I'm not even sure it matters what I eat -- doesn't feel that way.
Also, my varicose veins are out of control. I showed MH the other day and he said "whoa, that's WAY worse than last time." Believe me, I'm aware, thanks.

I also almost peed myself this morning; this kid was dive bombing my bladder. I'm pretty sure he's in my vagina now. He feels much lower.

I'm only 30 weeks - there's no way this kid has dropped. But man, it sure feels like it. Also - my pelvis clicking and cracking got worse this week. When I sloooooowly rolled to my other side last night, my hips let out the loudest crack - DH even woke up from it. It hurt so bad I felt like crying, and then DH was like - was that your hips? That sounded really really bad. And proceeded to go back to snoring like 30 seconds later. Thanks DH. 😂😩 |

I've been peeing myself when I sneeze or cough, I guess I need to do more kegles or something. My pubic bone feels like it wants to separate. Today is my first day of swelling. It got pretty bad with DD but closer to 35-36 weeks so I'm hoping I can figure out something to alleviate it.
I went to visit my mom today and she said I look really big now. She last saw me on Saturday. Third trimester is the best/worst.

Well I've peed myself a whole bunch of times already and have resorted to sitting on DS pee pads which we use for his bed.

So....I don't know if anyone is feeling super exhausted or fatigue, but I just hit 32 wks this weekend and yesterday I felt like I got ran over by a freight train! I was super super fatigued and not sure if it's from all the awful insomnia I've been having all week and it finally caught up? Even during 1st-tri I wasn't like that. I was surprised because I remember with DS I was fatigued during 1st-tri but this time around, I was pretty energetic. Just yesterday I felt absolutely horrid and felt like I got pummeled with a wrecking ball. Also as I was getting out of bed yesterday morning, I had an intense pain in my lower bump like my innards were twisted and actually broke out in cold sweat from the pain. Suffice to say I was useless yesterday. Good thing it was the weekend and hubs was home.
