Also these last few days, my cervix feels like the hulk is super crossed with it   |

+1 to the waddling. Especially today. My low back is so stiff/painful tonight, probably from a mix of going on a walk this morning and working this evening. Hopefully it's better by morning, I really don't want this to be a thing for the next 4 weeks (3 of them working).

I have a TMI: So in the last few days, I have been triggered by various cooking smells. It's gone beyond nausea to actual vomiting again. It happened so fast the first time, I barely had a chance to get off the couch and waddle over to the bathroom. But that's not the worst part. Being 37 weeks pregnant, I am also peeing all.the.time. And with my bladder being squished, I don't always have a ton of control. A panty liner takes care of the inevitable sniss, but full-on heaving and vomiting also means full-on peeing... which means that a few times this weekend, I have COMPLETELY pissed my pants while throwing up. We're talking puddle on the floor.  |

My main symptom lately has been shuffling around like a geisha due to the SPD. It just hurts too much to take a normal stride and have my legs that far apart. Sigh.
Also - peeing like 4 times a night. I definitely think this is mother nature's way of preparing us for MOTN feedings/wakeups with a newborn!

Yes to both of these Last night's 3am shuffle to the bathroom was especially awful, I'm laughing only because geisha-like describes it perfectly. |

Sciatica. The worst.
The insomnia kicked in again this week so the last two nights I took Unisom. It helped, even though I'm still up peeing 3-4 times a night. At least I can get to sleep easily.

Ohhhh, chitownsully, thanks for the light bulb moment. I slept TERRIBLE Saturday night and last night. I have some unisom left over at home so I will try that tonight. |

Add me to the night geisha shuffle... it's rough in the middle of the night. It also happens to me at work when I sit for too long.

I found a few little stretch marks on the lower part of my bump. I was hoping I would avoid them again but it seems my luck has run out!

3rd tri weight gain is KILLER! Cosign. I passed my weight when I delivered DS....a while back. I hang onto a bit of weight when I breast feed so, yeah.  |

3rd tri weight gain is KILLER! Umm yes. I thought I read this is supposedly going to taper off or something? My scale says nope. |

Post by kinipela7 on Sept 5, 2017 12:14:57 GMT -6
I gained steadily with my first! I gained steadily the first 2 trimesters but now it's really bad. My doc is definately going to judge me when I hop on the scale this week at my appointment!
And +1 to breastfeeding NOT melting off the pounds! That is a load of BS!

My MFM suggested 400-500mg of Magnesium daily for the headaches, and bonus it's helped me sleep better and cut down on the leg cramps.
May work for some of you as well.

I have to pee every time I stand up or roll over at night. Every.single.time.
I've also been getting weird period like cramps in the morning. They don't feel like my normal Braxton Hicks but??? I think some of you mentioned these in the ransoms a few days/week ago so maybe it's common at this point (34ish weeks?!)

Is it weird that I haven't had any Braxton hicks this pregnancy? Or just a sign that I'm well hydrated?

I got a glance at the back of my legs today, and was reminded why I try not to look. My varicose veins are out of control! So so gross. I thought they were bad with my first pregnancy, but clearly I was just being vain (SWIDT?)

Wicked bloody nose sprang up this morning. Is it weird I've never had one before. I almost didn't know what to do.

My newest returning symptom is being hungry all. the. time. It's ridiculous. And it doesn't bode well for this last stretch of weight gain I'm trying to minimize.

I stepped on the scale today and didn't believe it. I still don't know if I believe it. How TF have I gained 7lbs in a week??????? Here in Asia they really harp about weight gain and don't want pregnant ladies to gain as much as is allowed/recommended in the USA. I know I will be getting so much side eye from my doctor next week...ugh. |
