Round ligament pain. It started over the weekend and hasn't let up yet. Also, I feel like I'm having to pee even more than usual. One of my favorite things about not being pregnant is having my normal bladder back!

Still reflux, always reflux. I find myself wanting to drink less throughout the day lately because when my bladder gets full, it's really painful - like i walk bent over to the bathroom. I think that means I'm waiting too long, but sometimes it's every 15 minutes in going!

Belly. Button. Pain.
Well, the area surrounding it. Seems normal from what I'm reading and my doula commented that it could be from torn muscles (so Diastasis Recti I assume). I noticed it wasn't as bad yesterday and I wore full panel jeans to work. It is hurting worse again today and I'm wearing a skirt, so no panel over my bump. Not sure if it is a coincidence or related. Probably coincidence.

I hurt everywhere today. I was on my feet way too long yesterday and up way too late because of it.

Peeing, reflux, and i feel like I'm tired all the time. I just want to sleep for more than an hour and a half without waking up to roll over.

I felt like I was constantly going to the bathroom a lot before, but recently it's been a lot worse. I can also feel her move on and off of my bladder, so sometimes I just wait for her to move before running to the bathroom.

Reflux and peeing (all. the. time.).
I re-read DD's baby book (I kept a pseudo pregnancy journal to go with my weekly pictures) and it seems that my pregsomnia came back with a vengeance in week 34. This week. Joy.

This kid has also been super active recently. To the point it's painful. Chill out, dude!

A new symptom for me this week that is TMI and embarrassing. I've gained quite a bit of weight in my thighs this pregnancy, enough to get their own stretch marks. The extra weight there is causing some sweat which is making my underwear chafe my skin on my inner thighs. If anyone's dealt with something like this before I could use some tips because it's starting to get painful. I've put some of DS's Aquaphor on it to see if it helps but I'm not sure if there are any better ideas.

arimaythea Ditto baby powder. I've been dealing with the same off and on all week. So annoying.

I'm tired all the time, like a cup of coffee does nothing tired.
The way the baby moves is actually painful, it's been sitting quite low. I'm only 32 weeks but I keep thinking contraction or baby movement?
On the plus side since the baby is low my reflux isn't bad and I don't feel like I'm gasping for breath all the time.

Oh, also arimaythea going commando while at home with the baby powder would also help. Hell, go commando all day if you like - not my cup of tea but whatever works! It will help give the bumps and rashes (for lack of a better word) a chance to heal without being agitated further. |

Tailbone pain, it feels like it's splitting in half. Also lower back pain in general. So much peeing and I generally lay awake for about 2 hours after my 2am pee.

I had to pause today mid-stride today and just thought...is this a contraction or just the baby in a weird position? My reflux also is not as bad...but I honestly am weirded out that baby is so low. It looks like he's dropped already. |

I had a nice little break from reflux when I switched to the GD diet, but it's returned in force now that he's gotten bigger and is starting to run out of room. I'm sorry, so there's no real "up high" or "dropping low" it's all kind of the same.

BH like whoa. Still eating all the food (so hungry) and having issues falling asleep/staying asleep. Eta oh and lightning crotch when I'm walking. Like, I have to stop and wait for it to pass painful. I don't remember this from last time.

Sometimes when I stand up I'm in excruciating pain and can barely walk. Holding up the bottom of the belly helps some. I'm going to ask my Dr about it at my appt this week.

arimaythea, that sounds painful. Sorry. Can you maybe try boyshorts style undies for the chaffing? Think someone here had a similar problem. Bikers use noxema for a cheap alternative to chaffing. You could try that and it's easily accessible.

My right hip pain is increasing. Also thatgirlrachel, this past weekend, I feel so much more stretching all over my belly too and I'm 34 weeks just a week behind you. So something new I noticed after showering yesterday, I can clearly see blue veins running all over my boobs! And I recall seeing this the last time. It's kinda scary looking 😐 |

I'm hoping I can add some positives to this thread right now.
I'm experiencing some regularity for the first time all pregnancy. I'd even go as far as to say I had a pleasant bowel movement yesterday. Hallelujah.

Add me to the painfully moving baby. Like seriously what are you doing in there? Baby feels like it is head butting my cervix or something, it's kinda the same sensation as lightning crotch but further up/in, I dislike it immensely.
