Just feeling SICK...is this something I don't remember?

[AFWife]

I woke up this morning just feeling OFF. I had dreams about running a race (turns out it was my brain incorporating leg aches/cramps into a dream). I feel kind of achy and I kind of think I want to throw up but I'm not nauseated. (Weird, right?) My ab muscles are a bit sore but I'm pretty sure that's from sex last night (they hurt more last night)

Ugh, is this just one of those things I blocked out from my last pregnancy? I'm almost 26 weeks.

I'm exactly there too. I ache. My bones hurt. My abs hurt-- not from sex, but from putting on my socks. I think it's just second pregnancy blues.

Yeah, it almost feels like I'm getting a cold or something. I haven't knowingly been exposed to anyone that's sick... But DH said a lot of people he works with are either sick or have kids that are sick so there's probably something going around.

I took my prenatal and will probably take some Vit C later. (I'm out of OJ or I'd have that!)


It doesn't help that I have a toddler that might be feeling icky too...he's been SO WHINY today. So instead of sitting back and babying myself (like I desperately want to) I'm up trying to figure out why he's crying *this time*

Tell me about it. I was just wondering why I feel this way, and then I remember that DS was up from 12-4 am. (I only took the 2-4 shift, DH did the 12-2). No wonder. I think both of us have small kids, which makes it difficult to take the rest we need.

Yeah, DS is 18mo...he's STTN (most nights. We're teething so it can be hit and miss) but during the day he has ENDLESS energy and he's not verbal so he tends to cry and scream when he can't communicate what he wants.
