Am I gassy? Is that the baby? WTF KID thats my butt! I've had varicose veins in the vaginal area and the extra baby pressure now is not pleasant at all. Even though baby is low, I still have something (feet? bum?) wedged up under my left ribs most of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334819 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:37:06 +0000 mrszack 2334819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: yes! I'm 34w4d with #3 and I literally feel like the baby is going to just fall out any minute. I don't remember this feeling with my other two. I'm not sure if I'll have a cervical check this week, but keep us posted on whether you've made any progress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334817 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:34:51 +0000 Anagram 2334817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YESSS...I guess I carried both girls pretty low, but the pressure on my bladder was so intense. And yes, it started earlier the second time. But 35ish weeks, I could only walk about a block before dying from the pee feeling.</p> <p>Good news was I never had the breathing problems some preggos have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334815 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:32:23 +0000 HLK208 2334815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I felt it by 30 weeks with my second and third! Ouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334800 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:12:57 +0000 sometimesshesings 2334800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: haha! Hiccups in your butt! </p> <p>I'm 37 weeks along with lo2, and I only just started feeling the baby in my groin. At least I can breathe now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334772 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:45:02 +0000 mrsjyw 2334772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes.... So much pelvic pressure... Ds2 came two weeks early too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334767 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:40:24 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: yaaasss my butt gets the hiccups at least twice a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334758 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:36:33 +0000 FannyMae 2334758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: looks like we are about a week apart, and yep I feel like i'm smuggling anvils in my birth canal. my midwife commented twice that the baby is quite low already, i'm feeling hiccups in my butt at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334743 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:21:50 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2334743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had GI stuff that likely contributed but I had pressure from the second trimester on and a very low baby! I was miserable.</p> <p>Eta, and up until my last appointment at just about 39w I was completely closed. But delivered at 39+2. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334733 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:17:09 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: thank you! This is the type of response I was expecting :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334678 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:41:12 +0000 blackbird 2334678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>God yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334625 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:08:44 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: screw optimal weight gain. Cupcakes are delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334621 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:07:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2334621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I've gained more than I did on the day I delivered and now I'm in the home stretch where you gain even more. But I think it's partly because I weighed 20 lbs less when I got pregnant this time. Also partly because I cannot control my sweet tooth... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334607 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:02:09 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ugh me too. I've already gained as much weight as I did on the day I delivered my daughter. Which is only 18lbs so I'm still on track to gain in the aimed for range, but God, I feel HUGE. Today a coworker told me "you look exhausted, the pregnancy must be starting to catch up with you." I refrained from throat punching him only because he is generally a lovely human. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334599 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:58:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2334599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ever had that with my first. This one I think has just finally turned head down at 33.5 weeks so before this, definitely no bowling ball. But the overall I'm huge and just done being pregnant hit much earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334592 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:56:06 +0000 anonysquire 2334592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334591 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:55:08 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: glad I could give you a laugh :silly: </p> <p>@anonysquire: I have my first cervical check next Monday at 35 weeks so I'll find out then if I'm actually dilating. My first was born on her due date so if I went exactly a week earlier I'm good with that. But my first LO's bday is 9 days before my due date (which happens to be Thanksgiving Day this year) so I'm really hoping to make it past then!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334571 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:48:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2334571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt that with my first but I definitely felt it with my second. I kept telling my husband that it felt like and arm was about to just pop out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334570 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:48:02 +0000 anonysquire 2334570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't ever feel the bowling ball but I was definitely dilated earlier. With my first I was 4cm dilated after week 30. With baby 2, I was dilated at like 28 weeks. And I had my second a week earlier than my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334569 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:47:34 +0000 travellingbee 2334569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 30 weeks and he feel very heavy in my pelvis for sure. Don't remember that with #1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334568 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:45:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2334568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't have that feeling at all with either of my first two pregnancies and haven't yet felt it at 28 weeks with my third. Mine haven't dropped before their births though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334565 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:43:26 +0000 MrsSRS 2334565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. Can't comment because my pregnancies were too different, but I appreciate the wording. Bowling ball. Gave me my first real smile all evening. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-pregnancies-1#post-2334536 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:30:07 +0000 Truth Bombs 2334536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you had subsequent pregnancies, did the bowling ball in the vagina feeling start much earlier? I'm only 34 weeks but I swear it feels like this kid is half way down the birth canal..... </p>
