I dunno, but it's much more intense than last time!  And it's not like I'm well rested or anything...

DP finally got to feel the baby move from the outside this morning!!

Atomicrocket - That's so exciting!!  Where was babe kicking at the time?  My DH felt the baby move yesterday as well - central and just above my pubic bone.  This little turkey seems to like lying low.

Anyone have a any new pregnancy complaints?  I don't know if it's because it's my third pregnancy or what, but my joints are all super flexible - to the point that they're constantly moving out of alignment.  My transverse arches in my feet have fallen, so I need to wear shoes in the house if I want to still be walking by evening, my SI and pubic joints keep going out, and my neck keeps going out, so I've had a lot of headaches to deal with.  Because all of this happened just this past week, I feel like my body is falling apart all at once, and because I'm only 20 weeks, I don't know how I'm going to fare when I'm even bigger.  Obviously I'm going to have to be more committed at doing yoga to try to help stabilize, but in the meantime I'll just whine.  LOL.

Zakdat: Anyone have a any new pregnancy complaints?

Ugh!  My left hip is all out of place because of sleeping on my side.  I usually sleep on my back, but have officially switched over. I tried with a body pillow and it was terrible.  Now I'm without body pillow and some mornings I wake up with just a little soreness and some mornings I wake up and can hardly walk because it hurts so much.  When I wake up in the middle of the night on my back, I give myself 15 seconds of pure relaxation before I start feeling a bit out of breath and roll back over onto my side.  Last week when I got up there was a huge POP and it felt better all day, but the next morning it was back to pain.  Ugh!  </endvent>

It is super exciting!  He felt it right in the centre, just a little below my belly button.  I've been trying to get him to feel it for a while now, but my little guy seems to be all over the place.  As soon as I'd put DP's hand where I felt the baby, the baby would kick somewhere else.  This time we got lucky!

Newest pregnancy complaint - not being able to eat much at once without feeling like I am going to explode.  I sort of thought that limited stomach space would not be something I would experience until I was 8 months pregnant, but it has started already.  Last night I went to a bbq and didn't even eat very much, but I felt sooo uncomfortable all evening after I ate.  Even small meals feel like I just ate a massive thanksgiving feast.  The limited space also causes brutal heartburn every time I recline or lay down.  It seems like my uterus is just growing up instead of out, and I'm shortish and have a short torso which I think is why my guts are so squished already.  I'm hoping my uterus starts growing out soon!  In the meantime, I have resorted to constant snacking instead of standard meals.  

Zakdat - it's crazy that even your arches have fallen!  I've been trying to keep up with exercise too, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough.

My hips get sore too.  Oddly, I have found that a body pillow helps a lot, but turing over to switch sides while hugging a body pillow is pretty awkward, haha.

This is me exactly too! I'm carrying my girl pretty high, so I've been getting reflux a lot lately. I also thought all this wouldn't start until later. And I feel out of breath easy and pretty uncomfortable. My friend said that eases up soon and doesn't come back until the end.

Good to know that it will hopefully go away for while!  I miss pigging out
