New annoying symptom: I'm constantly out of breath. I feel like I can't pull a full lungful of air. Walking up the stairs leaves me winded.
What fun pregnancy symptoms are you experiencing?
-
Peeing all night long
-
Just wanted to say hang in there. I finally just had my lo but my 2nd pregnancy was rough, I had a little pity party probably every day toward the end.
-
Shortness of breath, my pubic bone splitting in half, can't get comfortable when sleeping, hands/arms falling asleep at night, and my husband and I now weight the same amount.
-
The other day DH and I were sitting on the couch after dinner, and he asked me what was wrong. I was like, ???? and he said I kept sighing, I sounded so sad. And I was like, dude, this is just me trying to breathe!!
-
I have a cold and am spending all day trying not to pee when I cough or sneeze.
-
40 w and still preggo. #endrant
-
@babycanuck: I'm still right there with you. 40+3 today.
-
The reflux. I'm on acid reducer and I still feel terrible no matter what I eat. And I reflux freaking water if I bend over. I'm so GD uncomfortable. And only 7 months.
-
@babycanuck: @BelugaBean: yep. 39w6d and so annoyed.
-
@californiadreams: Ugh - I think I was up 4 times last night!
I'm also getting winded easily and my knees feel a bit sore today. Hoping it's not a sign of things to come
-
41 weeks and probably set to go another week. Sigh. I can barely get up off the couch or take off pants without my husband's help now. I am colossal.
-
Acne, low belly pain which the OB thinks is the baby's head grinding into my pelvis-lovely, feeling huge.
-
Horrible indigestion despite being on RX meds, insomnia like whoa, hips that are SO achey, and I can't breath like a normal person. And I'm only 32 weeks. Oh and I've had a cold for a month. Coughing and peeing myself all day is now my "normal"
-
Poor circulation in my legs so swollen feet and waking up constantly to flip sides to give my legs a break.
-
Heartburn is killing me - if I drink water, I get heartburn, but if I don't I get dehydrated.
If I am standing up, my crotch hurts. It I'm sitting down, the maternity belt (to help with the standing-up pain) is digging into my belly.2.5 months to go.
-
@mrs.shinerbock: I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets heartburn from water. It's a real PITA
-
Uhh I'm only 11 weeks and I got embarrassingly winded from making the bed this morning. Guess it's a sign of what's to come?
-
@mrs.shinerbock: @Truth Bombs: Not water, but milk, which I think is so weird...and also something I desperately want.
-
@Mrs. Goose: Me too - I went to the grocery store and had to listen to the girl at the deli counter weigh cheese while going on to the girl beside her how big I was. Thanks, lady.
-
@babycanuck: I would have been outraged inside, but probably would have cried...haha.
-
I should bookmark this and read it anytime I think about not being "two and through"...

This pregnancy has been so hard on me! Nothing like my smooth, easy firstborn pregnancy at all. I can not find a comfortable sleeping position at all but will eventually sleep because I am so tired. I have been having back aches and tailbone issues since the first trimester. It does come and go so thankful I have some breaks in between. This baby seems much lower than big sister so my lady part is always numb and uncomfortable! I never experienced the numbness down there before, it's so annoying! The good news is I am in my last trimester this week so getting closer to the finish line, hallelujah!
-
@Kimberlybee: Ditto to the back, tailbone and sleeping issues! I have days where I feel like I can barely move!
-
My low back pain is back plus lovely sciatic nerve pain. Every time I roll over in bed I have to get up to pee. Getting up from the couch is a work out. And I got plenty of any day now comments this weekend- I'm 31 weeks tomorrow.
This morning I cried explaining to my two year old that I can't pick her up because my back hurts. And she gave ME a hug to make me feel better.
Oh and I have jury duty tomorrow. At least no one's going to want the giant pregnant juror.
-
@Foodnerd81: DUDE. I had Jury Duty last week and they ACTUALLY PICKED ME!!!
-
@Truth Bombs: @mrs.shinerbock: That's what I'm saying. If I'm having acid reflux from WATER what can I possibly eat??? And I am on RX Nexium because the OTC wasn't strong enough. Stupid pregnancy.
-
@Foodnerd81: Yeah, don't count on that. I'm on a jury right now.
-
@lovehoneybee: ME TOO! Not fun, especially with a toddler to chase around.
-
@travellingbee: WTF is with the pregnant ladies getting picked for juries?
-
@Truth Bombs: we look nice??? lol
-
@Truth Bombs: @travellingbee: are you f-ing kidding me??? I also don't have any child care. Dh is "working from home" tomorrow but can't do that most of the time and I don't have anyone else to watch the 2 year old. And I am not afraid to cry about that to the judge. I had actually postponed it right before I found out I was pregnant but figured being 7 months in would help. Ugh.
-
@Foodnerd81: oh you can automatically excuse yourself from jury duty if you dont have childcare
-
@Foodnerd81: our county will excuse you if you are a SAHP with no child care. Have you checked the requirements for being excused?
-
@travellingbee: not in Massachusetts. They will give you $50 a day towards child care if selected. Because you can totally find a last minute quality babysitter for $50 a day.
-
@mrs.shinerbock: yeah I still have to show up. I imagine I can plead my case once I'm there though.
-
@Foodnerd81: Yeah just tell them you don't have access to readily available quality child care. Throw some tears in there and you'll get excused.
@travellingbee: Well the joke was on the plaintiff because I actually took a pretty hard line with a few other jurors to make sure she got zero dollars. It was a BS lawsuit. Pregnant lady may look nice but I have no tolerance for your shenanigans
-
Yes on the shortness of breath!!
I also have terrible pregnancy insomnia so it's more like I nap a few times during the night rather than actually sleep sleep. And when I do, depending on how/where my arm/hand is, it's fallen asleep.
This past week, my hormones decided to give me a bunch of canker sores all around the edge of my tongue so that I can't eat or talk. So damn painful man!!
-
@Truth Bombs: ha like it's hard to turn on the tears these days??
-
@Foodnerd81: Maybe I cried in the middle of the night last night because I wanted to sleep on my stomach so badly.
