Thread of insignificant pregnancy complaints

[Mrs-Mama]

Don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining about being pregnant, and I'm certainly not wishing the pregnancy away (I actually really like being pregnant), but...

Either I'm too short or I need longer arms. Due to my ever-growing tummy, I find myself having to lean in toward the sink to wash dishes, etc. So much for good posture. And, don't get me started on reaching down into the washing machine

I know there's more...what's yours?

[mamadakota]

let me join in

my feet are swollen, i get dizzy if i stand in place for more then a minute or two. i havent been able to enjoy a meal in a month or two without indigestion or being short of breath. but yeah i love the end product

Amen! I painted my toenails the other day and was completely out of breath afterward.

Oh, and I already thought of another one:

Shaving - balancing on one foot to shave my legs is becoming impossible. Not to mention that I have to shave that one side of my left leg blind and with my left hand. Come to think of it...there's a lot of blind washing, etc, going on "down there".

DH paints my toenails for me. And I have the strict "if I can't see it I don't shave it" policy. This goes for all areas below the belly. Maybe I'll go join that hairy moms tribe...

tingling fingertips
pain in hips waking me up all night to turn over again and again
long distance toenail trimming
being a picky eater because of hormones
placenta brains
desire to nest and physical clumsiness/lack-of-energy to do so
rapidly changing body shape making it to risky to make clothes for myself (something I LOVE to do)

But I'm still very very happy to be preggo! :::

another in the can't see it, no longer shave it club!

Aside from the SPD, which is not as bad this pregnancy because I have learnt how not to aggravate it, the most irritating to me is that this baby is perfectly happy breech and I want her (him?) to turn vertex. Stubborn little baby.

[Patchfire]

Placenta brain! I've forgotten to sign checks, put things in the wrong place, you name it.

And the butt-in-the-diaphragm routine is getting a little old.

[~bookcase~]

Kicks in my bladder

[~bookcase~]

Oh, and round ligament pain, but that's not quite so insignificant because when it kicks in I'm in agony. Doctor prescribed cocodamol, of all things, but I think NOT. Scary that someone might walk away and take paracetamol/ cocodamol every day for the rest of a pregnancy. 100 tablets she gave me.

Im so emotional and cry at the slightest thing, can't stand being around my mother right now (she drops over 1-3x week). High libido crashed to no libido this trimester.

And leaky dribbles even though my bladder feels full, and feeling like the end is nigh when I bend over, oh and I am definitely a proud member of the "If I cannot see the hair then I don't have to shave it" group...but YAY for pregnancy, grumbles and all I ADORE it!!!:::

[coyotemist]

OK, most of the time I'm of the "can't see it won't shave it" club, but last weekend we were going swimming in public, and my suit doesn't have a skirt...so I took a mirror into the tub with me and did all sorts of acrobatic maneuvers trying to get every last hair. Hubby says "hurry up, I need a shower, too!"

Which leads into my next minor complaint-I can't HURRY anywhere now! Including the bathroom. It's loads of fun running, needing to pee gives me BH, so I'm trying to hurry to get to the bathroom, while having a contraction, and dribbling the whole way. Once I finally get there, no satisfaction of a big pee because I dribbled the whole way! So, change the pad, drink a big glass of water, and start the process all over again! Hee hee.

I'm also thrilled to be pregnant, if still a little fuzzy on the whole "I'm really going to have another baby" thing. His kicks let me know he's ok in there, regardless of where they are placed (cervix, bladder, kidney, etc). And the fact that he plays ALL NIGHT LONG again, lets me know that he is doing just fine!

[two bricks shy]

I am loving this thread! I feel so less alone...I love the baby and the pregnancy but some of the aspects of the end are oh so NOT enjoyable.

Let's see....
Heartburn off of nearly everything...even water.

I am starting to be a proud member of the "If I can't see it, I don't shave it" club. HURRAY!!!

Baby hasn't turned yet, but they are still trying to step dance on my bladder and teasing me by turning sideways a couple of times and not flipping.

I'm really, really cranky. Especially wrt my MIL. She decided to use us as a hotel Sunday night and I wasn't exactly "super friendly" to her when she started chewing us out about our ant infestation (that I worked on cleaning up for all day) when she showed up yesterday from visiting her cousin. She was implying that we aren't doing enough because DD has bites.

I'll also chalk one up for the "Wants nookie but is too tired" club. This also does not help the aforementioned cranky hour.

Does anyone else get extremely antisocial at the end? I mean, I enjoy my friends, but as for family and inlaws GO AWAY!

One more little complaint...DH wants less and less nookie as I near the end. I'm still game for nearly anything, but the man is thinking of me as "Mamma" not "Honey". I know very soon we'll have to take a 2 month or so break, and I won't WANNA. So for now it's driving me nuts that HE doesn't wanna.

You could paint your toenails by yourself? LUCKY!!!!!

Chasing around a very busy 11 month old is quite the chore too.

And albeit the end result will be PHENOM! I am living in total squalor right now becuase we are putting an addition on the house in preperation for our new arrival. OH, the joy of it. :

[snowgirl]

Baby is very low and if I bend over too far, he/she will kick me until I move and give it more space. Well, that is kind of funny , but annoying too.

Yes, but based on the sloppiness and inability to breathe, I think that'll be my last attempt for quite a while

[lifeguard]

I could definitely live without the increased clumsiness (& I wasn't exactly graceful to start with). All I can wear is flip flops right now thanks to an injury I got on my foot walking down the stairs.

I'd love to be able to focus on something or remember things. I hate the placenta brain thing - I feel so stupid!
