Heartburn is back in full force again, ugh. Getting headaches too this weekend, nothing too bad, but I think it is from the increased blood volume and exerting myself a bit too much this weekend. And yeah, my boobs grew a bit more, now they are super snug in the current bra size. If they grow anymore, going to have to buy new bras again!

Mine have grown at least a cup size! I have so much trouble finding a bra, (I'll need like a 38-40 DD/F) and even the old nursing bras are small! But soon I'll have to locate some good wire-less bras too. I'm making colostrum already which is pretty neat. DD loves that there's more milk already :)

Maternity pants are on my "I need it now" list because I really don't have anything but sweats that are comfortable now. I have some pretty stellar round ligament pain going on on my left side by my hip. No heartburn yet, unless I eat something out of the ordinary, which I'm so thankful for! I had it so bad with my daughter! I always have some Papaya Enzyme on hand for heartburn though!

Im on uk 30F-G now.. boobs started off 30dd (i think uk G=usH? but not sure) anyway boobs wont stop growing.. its impossible to get maternity bras aswell seeming as im still a 30..

Im also starting to get really breathless and feel heavy moving around.. i just am not used to being this heavy (even tho im still only 115lbs ish i started at 100 or something..)

is anyone getting really bad pelvic pain? the spd keeps getting worse.. and i keep getting really low bp/faint and nearly being sick.. i spent the weekend looking grey verging on green apparently..

Yes, I did not feel this way last pregnancy until the very end. I do have twins this time, but man I just feel so big and heavy and climbing/lifting is HARD. And yeah, breathless pretty often which sucks but is not unusually especially with multiples. I had to take my bra off over the weekend it was getting so annoying, I don't think it actually helped, but it felt better!

I guess I shouldn't complain too much about bras, I am in a 40D right now (I usually am a 38C) and getting 40DD won't be that hard if I have to move up another size. I just grew up an A, maybe B size, until after my first pregnancy. It's funny because it is actually easier for me to find bras when I am pregnant, 40D+ is much easier to find than 38A or B before my first pregnancy. Stupid huge rib cage

Timesway, I am definitely feeling breathless more easily now too. A couple months ago I could tell my lungs had expanded since my coat got a bit tight around my rib cage but I feel the added capacity is no longer keeping up with added demand. We had to chip ice out of the driveway this morning and near the end i had to back off and take it easier. at least DH has made it very clear that he doesn't fault me for it and the #1 priority is to keep baby healthy!

Heartburn here too - something I never had before pregnancy! It kept me awake on Saturday night, probably due in part to MIL's cooking. How have you all been manging it? I have no clue.

I'm getting this way too. Feeling heavy and slow all of a sudden.

My SPD is getting annoying too. I am trying to stay active but the SPD is getting in the way. My hips are starting to hurt if I am in bed too long too, they use to just hurt after working out or something.

are u getting seperation of the pelvis front to back? thats the bit which i cant deal with pain wise.. i can feel a gap now.. am getting a bit worried that i mite get the other weird bad spd pelvis thing where everything seperates lots.. im hoping it eases as the pain the last few days has made crawling and kneeling impossible most the time and ive only just started to be able to do that..

its so weird how heavy i feel when u lot all look so much more pregnant lol ;) but i think rather then sticking out all my organs are pushing up (im very stretchy and diaphragm is probably squished right up.. and i think this is why im struggling to breathe.. the echo lady was struggling to find my aorta earlier and had to find it in my neck in the end!!

Oh and i didnt read stuff before because i was knackered but HEARTBURN.. yuk.. also reflux worse then usual.. the other day i opened my mouth to talk and sick fell out lol.. whats going on?! ::P silly body.. hope all your pains ease soon :)

[BaileyB]

I'm not sure. My sciatic is out on my right side and I think that may be making the SPD worse by making me more crooked. I have a chiropractic appt on Friday that will hopefully help some of that.

Ewwww poor timesway! My gag reflex is super on alert + heartburn (loose sphincter) made me throw up while brushing my tongue once. Fortunately I was right at the sink! Talk about undignified moments of pregnancy

Anyone else getting nosebleeds? At first I thought it was just the dry air causing some trickling, but definitely got a full fledged nosebleed this weekend. First of my life.

I googled it and it's because of the increased blood volume we have.

[BaileyB]

I think I remember getting those in previous pregnancies. Otherwise I never get them.

[nstewart]

My back is still really hurting, especially at night, and I am getting twinges of sciatica pain (a sudden really sharp pain out of nowhere at random times).

In good news, my boobs are HUGE!  Well, for me anyway.  I popped into VS when DH and I were at the mall on Friday as I suspected they were larger and they've gone up another cup size.  So I am now a 36D, up from a 36B.  I find this quite a great development, as does DH. 

[SplashingPuddle]

I am getting nose bleeds all the time now.  During my first pregnancy I had them daily and I was really hoping that was not going to be the case this time... until 3 weeks ago and now they are back. Luckily they magically vanished once I gave birth.

Yup starting to feel slower, told DH we needed to start leaving for trains a bit earlier as it takes me longer to walk.  

Lots of nose bleeds and lots of round ligament pain...right side is really bad round ligament pain and it gets worse when I am in cold weather.  General tiredness that I was not expecting into this trimester.  I am really starting to resent to low blood pressure.  

But by far, this is the weirdest complaint I have ever had: I am always, always cold.  I can't seem to get and stay warm, no matter what I do.  The acupuncturist recommended little chemical hand warmers (very popular here) and stick them on my tummy, ab and back for 8 hours of warmth.  I am usually hot as in overheated when I am pregnant, not cold.  Where's my kettle?  

[Quinalla]

No nosebleeds yet anyway.

jacquelinej, I am much colder this pregnancy too, last one I was always hot which is typical. I'm not always cold, but I definitely am cold at times and just want to get under a big blanket! Being cold all the time is normal for me, but I thought I would be warm again for this pregnancy.

[timesway]

im also ffreeezing all the time.. i dont know if im any colder then normal as its winter and i always forget how cold winter gets here every year ;) but im certainly not warmer like most people i know.. im wearing 4 or 5 pairs of tights, hoodies, jumpers ,coats, vest tops, t-shirts, long sleeve tops lol.. layers and layers and layers basically and still freeeeezing.. so irritating..

Also just woke up today with vertigo, and been fainting a lot this week/really tired, my community matron said she'd take bloods but she didnt today.. i want them tested really as i feel so woozy.. i guess if i get unwell over christmas i will see if out of hours will check them or something.. yuk head is spinning.. also been having a bit of diarhorrea which makes me think i have a bit of a bug..

So sleeeeeepy.. *shakes self*

Sorry to hear about your vanishing twin.

[lisathena]

Thank you, it has been a weird rollercoaster ride that is for sure! I was SO SICK and never am w/ any of the other pregnancies. Then i went it and we seen 2 beans and she termed it vanishing twin and i went back 1 wk later and she said it was gone. But her machine is so old, i dont believe her. She is a mw not a us tech and this was at 8 wks so it totally could have been hiding so i am FEELING like there is still 2....if there is just 1 i will prly cry...its sad i know i should be thankful for my 1 healthy baby. But my heart is attached to the idea of them both still being there! :(

Argh, sorry LOL
