A thread in which to complain about the 3rd tri - Page 2

[gcgirl]

Oh, somebody read my mind. I swore to myself I wouldn't complain about minor aches and pains, but when they all happen AT ONCE, man your patience gets tested. :

I woke up this morning with a headache, a clogged sinus, sore hips, sacroiliac joint pain so I'm limping around pigeon-toed and can't exercise today, and nausea. As long as every day isn't like this, I'm okay, but if this is it from here on out...I'm throwing things. And I'm only 26 weeks.

Oh yeah, that too.

This thread is a great idea! Let's see if I feel better after getting out my complaints.

My fingers are swollen almost beyond recognition. I've been unable to wear my wedding ring or watch since oh, 12-15 weeks, but the swelling in my fingers is insane now. It used to be only at night but now they hurt constantly. At night it's even worse - some fingers won't even bend and it's painful to grab my pillow to move it.

I'm exhausted. Maybe this is because my sinuses are clogged and I snore for the first time ever. DH is moving out of the bed tonight b/c he can't sleep through all the racket I make. Apparently there is no neti pot large enough to affect my sinuses right now. After getting dressed and driving to work, I need a 30 minute break and a snack before I can actually start "working." "Working" is actually 15 minute periods of work followed by 45 minutes of resting (usually MDCing or obsessing over registries, always includes the long waddle to the bathroom).

My diet sucks and my exercise routine is nonexistent unless you count a dog walk every morning.

My frustration tolerance is at an all time low, which is saying a lot! Maybe this has something to do with the exhaustion? I almost cried when I failed miserably at a trivial task a few minutes ago. Yup, you guessed it - that was my 15 minutes of work and now I'm resting. I'll try again after I've rested.

I'm freaking out about not having a doula and not enrolling in a birth class. However I'm not freaking out enough to actually do something about solving either one of those problems. :

Sigh. Breathe. This is temporary.




... it is temporary, right?
