Symptoms week of August 21 & TMI

[duskymonkey]

A little late! What's lovely things are happening to our bustin bellies. Share and vent.

[duskymonkey]

I feel like this getting out of bed these days.

[cythe]

Back pain. Back pain. Back pain.

I'm not sure it's 100% pregnancy related and my chiro told me to stretch it at home and ice it now that I'm 8 months (apparently ice before 8 months is no bueno or something).

Other than that, feeling good.

[trinitrotoluene]

Baby is out of room for the thumping against my belly kicks, and movements are now almost all sliding across my belly. But he apparently still has space to flip between breech and not since i will feel movements down really low, then a few hours later, it feels like he is declaring war on my ribs.

[mkrupar]

I thought my pelvis was going to split in two last night. Baby was head butting me. I made H do all the heavy lifting with DD last night.

Have to be very slow getting up. RLP is horrendous if I stand up to quickly.

[bootsorhearts1]

Baby is having a chill day after being pretty active the last 3 days or so. Why does that still worry me half to death??

[danvers]

Out.of.breath - like walking down the hallway or whatever and I need to take a sit down breather. I swear guyz I ran half marathons in my pre-baby days but you'd never know it right now.

[August Blooms]

Busting bellies is the right description for me. It feels like this kid is trying to bust out of it. She was sitting super high all weekend, I was feeling pressure on my rib cage. Also doing almost nothing has me out of breath. Better today since she seems to have moved down. I feel fully in the third trimester now.

Quoting because #accurate.

My belly is officially getting in the way of everyday life. Last night while I was cooking it knocked 3 different things off the counter. And when I'm doing dishes, the bottom part of my belly that touches the counter always manages to get wet.

So I guess my symptom is just feeling huge.

You and me both. At school pick up for DS, this woman tried to squeeze by me without seeing the bump and she totally was squishing my stomach trying to get by. I had to actually say something like - "watch out for the bump please!" And when she finally noticed my belly, she looked so sheepish and apologized profusely. I guess I'm just taking up a lot more floor space than normal...😭😭😭

[rachydc]

Lightening crotch! Hurts like a mofo and almost knocks me to my knees.

[CoachTsWife]

thatgirlrachel and Taitai big belly over here, too. Everything is all in front and I have to sort of stand with my belly to the side a bit when I wash dishes (still get wet, though).

I'm having a lot of pain right around my belly button, which is non existent at this point - it is just completely flat/stretched out. I'm hoping it is just normal stretching stuff and not muscles ripping or something. I'll ask my OB about it today. I don't remember this from last time.

[mkrupar]

Nosebleeds. WTF? Get it together nose.

[August Blooms]

mkrupar Solidarity like. This is my daily struggle.

[chitownsully]

I can't breathe.

[bubblefan]

Just pretty huge and starting to enter the poor sleep quality phase. Already. Eeep.

[bubblefan]

Also, this probably doesn't go here but I am being SO much healthier this time with eating and working out but I am on the exact same weight gain per week trajectory (which is to say, a lot!) I guess my body just does what it does during pregnancy?

Me too!! The skin and area around my belly button is so sensitive. Wtf. I though it was just me lol.

[blackmamba]

This is super TMI, but I have the worst diarrhea ever.

[cythe]

Nausea. I cannot seem to catch a break from it! First it was morning sickness that lasted well into 2nd tri, now it's feet in my stomach and heartburn/acid reflux making me nauseous.

Go away nausea!

I had an OB appt today and she basically said it is normal. We can even get umbilical hernias and they're not a huge deal as long as they heal properly. Ugh.

I also have a completely flat belly button with sensitivity and just image googled umbilical hernia postpartum.

[rachydc]

Ugh, I've reached that stage in pregnancy where my boobs are huge and heavy and rest on my belly and my bra underwire cuts/rubs into me like a knife

+1. I switched to my nursing bras already and bought some bigger sports bras at Target the other day. I wore the sports bras to work under a mat dress and you couldn't tell. Comfort trumps everything these days!

Also, powder under the boobs. Lots of powder!

[rachydc]

chitownsully, I will be doing ALL of those things ASAP!

[August Blooms]

Taitai Say away from the Google!

[bubblefan]

Super TMI. The hems are back and they are not happy. RIP, butt.

[mkrupar]

My belly button is not flat or popped. I must have a deep button.

I also have no linea negra. I didn't have one with DD, so I'm not surprised.

Yes! Yes! Both of this! I think I mentioned before also have unpleasant stretch marks around the BB. I just checked nothing yet anywhere else which I'm sure will rear it's ugly head a few days before bubs is due ☹️
I can just reach the front first shelf of the kitchen cab but have to stand sideways and barely reach the 2nd shelf. If anything is not in the first inch in front, I can't get to it. Also I'm a mess eating at the dining table. Can't get close enough to table and keep dropping food so I wear an apron 🤣
