My back/sciatica is killing me today. I told myself that I was going to wait until it started interfering with my day to day before I called the chiro. Well today, it's pretty bad. I took 1000mg Tylenol around 8, so I can't take any more until 2. *cries* One of my coworkers made a heat pack for me and it's helping. I'll need to do something nice for her.
Oh, that def stinks. Make sure you tell your ob. I had it with my first pregnancy and I remember she gave me some suggestions for posture, sleep etc. ( I just don't remember what those things were)
I have been feeling 'off' and strange all day today. I woke up sweating profusely this morning and decided to stay home and rest before my doc appt this afternoon.
Now I'm worried that the strange feelings I have is my blood pressure spiking again .
Ugh, I feel gross today. I have felt nauseous since breakfast and it refuses to go away. I only ate half my lunch because I felt like I might throw up. I'm so sick of feeling sick...
I saw my doctor yesterday and apparently it is pretty normal in pg to have your heart skip a beat. This has been happening to me daily and it is freaking me out. I just feel this weirdness in my chest and like I can't breathe. She told me not to worry about it unless it lasts longer than 5 seconds, but it is scaring me.
It's snowing and freezing rain here. Took about twice as long as it normally does to get to work and I'm thinking it will be even worse on the way home.
My back is killing me today too. And I'm tired and I just want to go home and have a bath.
The weather sucks too and I'm not looking forward to the drive home. I'm so over winter. Ugh
And a coworker told me that I'm the same size as her friend who is having twins. I'm almost 17 weeks and apparently she's 20 weeks. Wtf thanks a lot bitch.
DS gave me his stomach virus. I threw up a lot last night and then slept off and on until after 2 pm today! Feeling better but not great. My head and my back also hurt. Thank goodness for DH doing everything with DS to get him to school this am.
I've been feeling some mild nausea yesterday and today. Just enough to throw me off and make me feel like the days are lasting forever. I'm incredibly exhausted too, I just want to take a nap.

I'm getting kicked/punched in the ribs AND the pelvis right now. It's making me sick to my stomach because it's jostling all my internal organs around.
coda, someone told me last week I was "going to be huge." Thanks?
I woke up drenched in sweat and started dry heaving. Fun times! I decided to work from home because I was afraid of getting sick at work, and I think this day has been more productive than the last two weeks combined.
I really really hate to complain this much, but I am a mess. My crotch is beyond painful (going on 17 weeks of pain), there's no room left in my stomach, I am getting kicked in the cervix and the ribs at the same time, can barely breathe when sitting. I am getting hot flashes now. I am not comfortable sitting, standing, or laying. I almost feel woozy from the pain and the heat. I am having several braxton hicks, as well as some tightening in my chest that takes my breath away.
I'm 32 weeks. I just don't know how I am going to last 8 more weeks. He is measuring 3 weeks ahead, I don't know where the extra space is going to come from.
Silver lining - his kicks are really powerful and noticeable from the outside, so I do love watching/feeling him all day
I am so fucking useless and sick. I don't feel like I'm sick enough for meds but I am sick enough to puke daily, dry heave every hour or two, and eat the worst shit possible. My ob/gyn gave me diet advice for "when I'm feeling up for it." lololol not right now. I think this is what I have eaten today: a can of coke, a can of Mountain Dew, two packets of Welch's fruit snack, 8 Girl Scout shortbread cookies, a piece of pizza, pita crackers, potato chips, ice cream. OMG I feel horrible typing that out. FML.
You're in survival mode.. don't feel guilty. I think puking daily justifies being sick enough for meds, in my opinion anyway.

I would just like to ditto this (except I'm 35 weeks) and send my deepest sympathies. It hurts a lot more than I thought it would!
My bright spot is that he seems to have dropped so maybe this won't go all the way to 40. My NST monitors went from belly button level last week to pubic bone level this week.
I feel much sympathy to those at 40 weeks, but one of the stranger things about pregnancy is you can pretty much guarantee it will end. Like if someone is TTC I would love to say to them "One day you will get pregnant!" But I can't. However once someone is 40 weeks pregnant I can say with confidence that you WILL have a baby.
However. It definitely sucks and you have every right to complain. I WILL NEVER TAKE THAT FROM YOU! I hope your babies come very soon.
My office won't let you go over 41 weeks. neener and @pennypie, have you guys talked about induction dates yet?
Today is my due date. I spent this afternoon baking cupcakes for a friend's birthday. Instead of, you know, having a baby.
At least I made too many cupcakes, so I get to keep some!
I totally want to make cookies in early labor. Not to take to the nurses, but for ME bc I haven't had a cookie since getting diagnosed with GD. #selfish
krystee I'm sorry. It wasn't like this with my first pregnancy, and idk of it's bc she was a girl and this is a boy or what. They say boys are low and girls are high.

If you are unable to make cookies while in early labor I will bring you my best homemade chocolate chip cookies in the hospital if you want. You deserve one, and I'm right here all the time.
lillaguma, you are a good woman! Thank you, what a sweet offer!
How are you feeling, btw? You are not far behind me!
I've been feeling pretty good! Can't believe how close it is getting, and work has been so busy that I feel like time is just slipping away so quickly. I wish it would warm up, this cold weather is killing me.
I almost passed out at my desk today. I was so dizzy. I had just eaten extra carbs at lunch because I felt light-headed, so I'd had both bread and cookies. Normally this would send my sugars way up, but I tested and they were way too low. My doctor said my choices were eat more and keep testing or go to the ER. My mom is an ER nurse and said they would just try to feed me there and wouldn't do much else, so I have been drinking Sierra Mist and eating candy. My levels are slowly going back up, but I still feel crappy. I want to go home!
