How's everyone feeling?

Question

Just curious how you're all faring.

Me- Indigestion, nausea and heartburn never went away. After every meal/snack I feel full of air and gag until I burp a few times (tmi?) and have been eating tums like candy.

Have always had shoulder and neck problems and now lower back pain and tension headaches too. Exhausted and irritable.

Maybe I'm a wimp and a whiner but I'm counting down! Just 93 more days! So thankful my husband pities me and has been babying me without complaint!

Answer

Just depressed

Answer

Hip and pelvic girdle pain, lack of sleep, heart burn and reflux most days, carpel tunnel,  plantar fasciitis,  and migraines that I can't do anything to treat.  I can't wait for all this to be over and to meet our little one!! I have a few weeks of work left and think things should get easier once I'm off and can get a bit more rest. 
There are also bits I think are great - like sitting back in the evening and feeling the baby kick and do barrel rolls, sorting out all the stuff for when he gets here, and having a great excuse to get out of doing anything I don't want to do lol.

Answer

Those with heartburn: take Zantac 300 once daily! It's perfectly safe.. Or if you can do the 75's before each meal! It's a life saver- that way you're not poppin tums so often! :)

Answer

I have really bad acid reflux/heartburn normally, and pregnancy has made it worse. I survive off extra strength Tums (but be careful to follow dosage restrictions!!!) I have the WORST hip pain, especially at night. It's so hard to get comfortable, and I don't think I've gotten a good nights sleep in 6 months. I'm exhausted and uncomfortable all the time, and pee constantly.

HOWEVER, when I feel my baby boy move, it all becomes worth it 😍👶🏻💙

Answer

Insulin 3x a day (gestational diabetes), testing 4x a day, restricted diet (which is healthy for baby so I don't mind as much), heartburn, joints hurt so bad, headaches and hot all the time. 28w3d. I like to tell myself I'm in the home stretch!! Oh, and the peeing and not sleeping. Whew. Thanks for letting me vent. ;)

Answer

I have almost all the same symptoms! Pepcid has been the only thing that helps me. And the back pain I had prior to pregnancy definitely has worsened. But it will all be worth it once the little one arrives! Good luck :)
