no relief?

I feel like I have had it all! I'm 34 weeks along and have continued morning sickness, heartburn, vomiting, constipation, continued weight loss, hands and feet going numb, insomnia, mood swings, jaw pain, wrist pain, groin pain, swelling of hands and feet. I feel like I'm losing my mind and that my body is turning against me!!  I feel like my doctor either thinks I'm crazy or making it all up. The baby is growing and healthy which I am ecstatic about but I can't get my doctor to do anything for me. I just get a pat on the back and told its all normal. is this really, truly normal???

Unfortunately it is all normal. There are a few of us that are getting hit with every negative side effect at once. My son is 9 and when I was pregnant with him I felt amazing. Whith my current pregnancy I am miserable. I have all of the same complaints you mentioned except swelling. Your next pregnancy might be better. There is no explaination for why one is easy and the other so hard.

I'm 28 weeks and I've been through 4 rounds of kidney stones,(one requiring removal) constipation, plecenta previa, anemia, restless leg syndrome, migrains, pelvic pain, limbs going numb, acid reflux, heart trouble,  and my most recent diagnosis of gestational diabetes... pregnancy is not always a walk in the park. Thankfully it's only 9 months long and then it all becomes a distant memory.
