What's going on this week ladies?
I know we've seen lots of talk about BH. Anything else you wish to report?
In PP symptoms, my OB must have vacuumed all the fun fluid out of my uterus before stitching me up because my bleeding has been virtually non-existent since I got home, so that's nice.
I mentioned in yesterday's thread the right side of my belly, like next to the incision, but not the actual incision is super sensitive to touch. It burns if you hit it or lift it the wrong way. Will be asking my OB about it on Wednesday.
I stink. Good golly. No matter how much I shower/apply deodorant the BO is out of control. I remember this from last time. Stupid hormones.

I'm not sure of he's moved down lower, but the tops of my legs are hurting so much.
Bad indigestion pretty much at all times, not just when lying down.
My back is also hurting all the time.

Holy hot flashes. As I was sitting in our meeting today, everyone else seemed comfortable while I was just pouring sweat. Then being so hot made me nauseous. Ugh.

So much pressure and (tmi) and increase in discharge. Along with the constant bh, and I feel so ready to be done with pregnancy.

The heartburn and reflux are out of control lately. Like, I've been dealing for most of my pregnancy but these last few days have been crazy. I'm fairly sure the reflux is making me nauseous.
Other than that, shortness of breath and I'm starting to struggle to get comfy a lot of the time.

I mentioned my reflux in the Randoms, it hit me hard this weekend. I now have the contents of a small pharmacy to help me out.
I spent most of today playing contraction or baby moving since it's clear baby has run out of room and it's uncomfortable. I'm also having pressure in my bum area which is probably from the baby pushing on things.

After dealing with constipation on and off this whole pregnancy, I had the opposite problem today. ??? I wonder if my digestive system has started playing along with my uterus. I never had BH this bad with DS but then again by this point in the pregnancy with him I was on hospital bed rest for pre-e.

bootsorhearts1, I hit 36w today and the Ovia app told me that diarrhea is a sign of imminent labor.  It also said water breaking is a sign of labor though, which I thought went without saying but... lol. I've noticed lately that if I am sitting while wearing shorts, they ride up enough to show the stretch marks on the tops of my thighs. Thanks for those, baby.

It's so funny you mentioned diarrhea and labor. I knew I had heard that with my last pregnancy but I haven't heard it at all this time around. So basically you help me confirm I'm not (totally) crazy. |

I'm in the same "BH or cramps/stretching?" boat as many, and I'm at the point where I don't care what it's called, this shit hurts. Sometimes I feel like she's trying to bust out through my belly button. Still nothing that I'd identify as a labor contraction, though.

Oh, I see we're talking about poop. I have been going....a lot. Still prefer it to the opposite problem, but damn.

So much pressure in the pelvic/vag region. When I sat at the edge of the bed this morning (getting up for my 4am potty run/waddle) I was slightly startled by the feeling, almost like her head was right there. Not as bad now though.
My low back is pain right now, and I cannot get comfortable sitting/lying down.
Re Diarrhea before labor (Super TMI): I had all the diarrhea before going into labor with DS. Like, I was empty and literally couldn't go anymore. This was after having period like cramps for a few hours. Contractions definitely picked up shortly after my bowels were emptied. That's when I started timing them, and headed in to the hospital a couple hours later.
Moral of story: excessive diarrhea is a very real sign of imminent labor...at least from my experience.

Night. Sweats.
😷
I remember them from DS1. But I did not remember them starting this early. Every. Single. Time. I fall asleep. I wake up freaking drenched in sweat. It is SOOOOO nasty!!!

cougarette, ditto on the sore legs. Between my hips, pelvis, and the tops of my legs I am constantly uncomfortable. My feet are swollen and sore. I just want to soak them in cold water forever. Re: poop- I keep alternating between constipation and diarrhea. My body switches it up every 2-3 days. Super fun.

More red stretch marks for me  . I hadn't even noticed them, because they were down on the lower side of my bump. DH was kind enough to point them out when I was complaining about how tight my bump was. He said: "Hmm...maybe the tightness is causing all those lines by your hip?" Cue me running to the bathroom mirror and groaning. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh😑😑😑 |

Taitai aren't husbands so helpful like that? Last night, mine trailed off mid-sentence and just stared at me and said "damn, you're huge." WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT BRAND NEW INFORMATION!

My vag feels sore, well not even my vag, the FUPA area. I don't remember being this uncomfortable with DS.

My vag feels sore, well not even my vag, the FUPA area. I don't remember being this uncomfortable with DS. I was just coming to complain about this. My whole pelvic region is sore. It feels like I've been doing workouts with my vagina. And I don't know if it's swollen or I've gained enough weight to pack on pounds in my crotch region, but yeah. It feels huge. |

The poop fun continues today, good times. Pretty sure it's not labor though, she hasn't even dropped yet. She's still all up high and in my business.

At the workshop I went to on Sunday I was told more blood flow = more blood in the pelvic region. Just like your hands and feet can swell so can the pubic region. It was suggested that kegals can help move the excess blood along.

Y'all have me on edge. I'm having bad cramps/mild contractions and now all the poop. So I've convinced myself I'm having a baby soon. Right? I'm kidding, mostly.

This one is an entirely different story, hence waking up to pee 4-5x a night. |
