Symptoms driving you crazy?
OK, so here are my most recent complaints. Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying being pregnant, but there are certain symptoms that are starting to drive me crazy! Anyone else experiencing:
ITCHINESS!!!! In particular, I rip my bra off as soon as I get home!
Sore bbs (but not as bad as first tri)
Sore hips (my dh has fondly noticed that I now have "child bearing hips". Thanks hon!)
Sore feet
Sore back
Easily overheated! (This one just really started to kick in)
I'm sure there's more, but I'll start the list there :-)
Feel free to join in!!!

sore butt and shoulders from sleeping on my side, I think I am starting to get ligament pain, I'll suddenly feel a stabing pain in my lower abdomen, indegestion, I don't even know what it is I eat that causes it, I think if I eat too much of anything I get it, the bloating is the worst.
Sexual drive is like a rollercoaster. My dh just got back surgery and I have been going crazy! Mood swings, allthough they are starting to taper off a little......I think. We'll see I guess...
And restless legs, Oh my lord do they drive my nuts!

re: nasal congestion -- I also have that, but it varies depending on the day; I don't have allergies, it's just an extention of the mucousy state I'm in.
Oh yeah, and just today, my dh looked at my feet and said, "Oh my gosh, your toes got longer!" Yup, my feet have started to expand and are getting painful.
It's so weird what the body does to grow a baby. Truly amazing.

I haven't had any real pain just yet (just sore back when I first wake up because I am usually in an awkward position)....not sure if I am a late bloomer or what, certainly not complaining. I am prepared for the pain though. My bigger symptoms are extreme fatigue and acne. I am worse than when I was in high school, it's just awful. Also, I have had mild indigestion, especially with Italian food, but know full-blown heart burn. I never have really gotten that, where my SO gets it all the time, so I hope it stays away for this.
One other weird thing, that I didn't know would happen.....I don't want any food. I don't really crave anything. I'm hungry but nothing sounds good to eat so it's been a struggle for me to eat and feel satisfied. I always thought you always wanted to end and it was one of the joys. :(

Okay, after regaining my composure from laughing so hard about the terms of change in that certain area...
The chronic aching back, hips, and ribs. That dull pain never goes away!
My bellybutton popping out, which for some reason is really sensitive for me, so every time I put on a shirt and it brushes over my bellybutton, it's a little painful. I'm trying to keep my BellaBand covering it most days to keep things from rubbing on it.
Bleeding gums when I brush my teeth most days. That is just so gross, spitting out bloody toothpaste! Ew!
My appetite is all over the place. I never know when I'm going to NEED something to eat NOW. If I don't eat, I get dizzy and short of breath. And forget the energy booster SnakPak...I need a full meal. No joke.
Fatigue. I feel like a narcoleptic some days. I think I might actually qualify for a diagnosis of narcolepsy on certain days.
Nasal congestion. Or is it just allergies? Who knows...

I have terrible back pain with shooting pain in the sciatic never going into my left butt cheek. :( Also the heartburn is just awful at night.
The joys of mommyhood!

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I don't think I have that yet, but for sure it's changing! In the book, Belly Laughs, by the third trimester, she said it was like two blue twinkies! Yoikes! Isn't that pleasant!
Oh, and can I just add...(Be warned and wary of WAYYYY TMI!!!)....
What I have read to be affectionately termed....
CHEESEBURGER CROTCH!!! BAW HAW!!
I was down 'there' to clean up before a doc's appt today and much to my chagrin, my Ya-Ya is the size of a football field!!!! I was so shocked and mildly creeped out, that I had to research it pronto. Only to find the above phrase to indicate the 'appearance of the thing that you are shoving into your panties' ;) LOL

I'm getting those same ones (except for the overheated one...I'm still silly-cold all the time!!)
But my BIGGEST one is the constant heartburn/acid reflux. It'll kick in during the night and wake me from a sound sleep (or as sound as one can be when one is pee-ing every 2 hours!!)
I can't believe how much more hips, back and feet hurt. My husband calls me a 'wreck'...nice, huh? :)

I am also experiencing alot of those, extrememly dry and itchy skin, heartburn, sore ribs aswell. I am warm all the time too, my cheeks are rosey red and heated. I am hoping that this winter I will be able to stand it, normally I am freezing so this will be a pleasant change. My back is extremely achey and have pains into my knees(Doc says its a pinched nerve). I am feeling lots of movement which is exciting and makes up for everything else thats not so pleasant.
