Just a minute to complain. ..
I am now 27 weeks pregnant with baby #4. I have definitely noticed some things that I never experienced with my other 3 pregnancies and just want to "complain" for a minute.
*Cough, cough and wheeze. I start at night with coughing and then once I'm in bed, I wheeze and the cough gets worse. Doc says pressure on my diaphragm and irritation and prescribed a puffer. Too bad he didn't recommend something for the trickle of pee that dribbles from my bladder contracting from coughing.
*Holy hair growth! I swear I need to shave my legs every hour! This time I'm pregnant with my first boy so it must be a hormonal thing.
*I can't see my ankles when I get up in the morning but by evening they are so swollen like balloons I'm surprised they don't float above my head.
*SNORING! Sometimes so loud I wake myself up (but God forbid if my husband complains about it!)
*Nerve pain in my back that bothers me "when I overdo it". I did say this is #4 so overdo isn't in my vocab.
Just some complaining. Anyone else need to just get it out there?!

This is #3 for me...I don't remember being so tired throughout the whole of my other two pregnancies. People keep saying Well no wonder, you've got 2 to look after, you're working full time and going to school...but I swear it's more than that.
And I'll second the snoring...My lovely husband has finally figured out that poking the 7.5 month pregnant lady to try and get her to change sleeping positions in the hopes of curbbing the snoring is futile at best and potentially endangering his life! Instead, he carries our almost 7 year old into our bed so he can sleep alone in his son's bed! My son says "Daddy, mommy doesn't snore". Good bless the hard sleeping little guy :)

Where to begin...lol..all of the above for me too. I hate it when i complain about something im going through and hubby tries to out do me by complaining about himself...uughh so annoying. I can't deal with the hearburn and acid reflux. What a pregnancy this has been for me...counting the days...best wishes mommies
