What is going on with my body?!?!

Well - let me just say that no book that anyone could have given me could prepare me for what happens to your body when you are pregnant.  WHOA!
Just wondering if anyone else is having some of the symptoms that I am having and if you guys have any thoughts or opinions on them.
I had a due date of July 6th based on my LMP, even though I thought it would be June 24 the whole time (bc I have irregular cycles and I knew when DH and I BD'd)  I am on a beta blocker for a heart rhythem isse (not considered serious) that could effect the length of time it takes baby to develop therefore I have to have ultrasounds at least every 4 weeks.  At my ultrasound last Tuesday baby's weight was 3 lbs 12 ozs and his measurements of femur, girth, and head were measuring ahead by two weeks (based on measurements not so much on his weight).  Well, this put my due date at June 23.  Ta Da!  Just what I thought.  Well - the Dr. had to leave to deliver a baby, so it was just me and the tech at this point, so I will have to ask him what this means at my appt on the 12th.  So - now I"m left wondering am I 33 weeks along or 31 weeks.  Then, this weekend, starting on Saturday I start having these spells a few hours after I wake up, shower, eat, etc.  where I feel really hot, break out in cold sweat, feel like I"m going to pass out and vomit, and also have to go sit on the toilet.  After about an hour it passes.  Same thing happens Sunday, and same thing happened this morning after I got to work.  What could be causing this?  Next thing - I don't know if any of you remember but from pretty early on I have felt this intense pressure on my right side that rises up my trunk.  Well, now, ever since Thursday I have felt really intense pressure from baby and it is causing intense pressure up my trunk and into my chest.  Pretty uncomfortable.  Also, yesterday I started having a kind of clear snotty discharge a couple of times when I go to the bathroom, not alot, but just a little on the tissue.  I'm just so confused by all the things going on with my body!  I'm a first timer too, so I'm assuming I can just chalk these things up to "your body does strange things when you are pregant", but it just seems like so many unknowns!
Anyway - what do you guys think?  Are any of you experiencing anything similar to any of my symptoms?  What are your symptoms lately?

the deal is that Im so tired!!!!! my poor body cant take this anymore but I know I need to be prepared for the worst right now!!! Im 35 weeks today and I will tell u I dodnt know how Im going to make another 5 weeks. Next 2 weeks will be very busy for me as we are doing some remodeling at home- tomorrow they are putting down big wall between my living room and kitchen. Next week they are doing hard wood floors and starting Thursday my DH will be doing kitchen cabinets. Next Sunday is my baby shower, after that I hope we will just finish kitchen and I can go to hospital. Oh and Icant wait for my stroller to come- my mom mailed to me from Europe, its so cute, cant wait to see it.
I also know I already get crib and a lot other stuff!!!! So happy about this. Everything is so expensive and we spend a lot of money on new kitchen so that will be a big help!!!! After I will be done with my nursery I will put some pics!!!

Thanks for the info.  Yeah - my discharge isn't colored either, just white and/or creamy.
I hate to hear that about the nausea.  I had it severly up until about 15 weeks, so I would HATE to see that come back!!
Luckily, no bone pain yet, but I know alot of the ladies here and in the July forum have already been experiencing that.
I am, however, pretty achy and pretty irritable after an 8 hour work day!!  Poor hubby!
Pregnancy is definitely an adventure!  :-)

Hello,
I am 33 weeks, and 've been having more discharge also. I can't stand  - it just comes out all day long. From my childbirth classes I've learnet that it's most likely not the mucus plug yet. Even tho it can come out in pieces. But I don't see any bloody colors, just white/clear cramy stuff (tmi).
I also got my mausia back (in the morning when I brush my teeth).
Whole bunch of othe pains and akes that come and go (the worst one is in my pubic bone).

u should always call your doc no metter what, this is why we have them.  Call him and tell everything. I had pretty often contractions few weeks ago (abdomen and back pain) and was admited to hospital, baby is very low, my cervix its soft and short and they find out I have UTI. After meds Im fine, no more contarctions. Even UTI now can put u in labor so its better to check everything.
All symptoms u described I have too. Being pregnant its not fun!!!! I also have son- he is 8- and let me tell u something!!! I was 25 when I was pregnat with him and comparing to this pregnancy the firts one was nothing!!!! On my due date I took my road test for driving licence. Now Im tired, sick and have enough of this pregnancy. I have to rest every few minutes, have to watch what Im eating, drinking, I have discharges, no way my DH can have any kind of sex with me!!!Just awful. Cant wait for this princes to be born!!!

Well I've been having pressure and pain in my lower back and abdomen for a few days now. The pain is like a cramping sensation at times, and then I get like a pulling feeling in my abs sometimes as well. I've also started having a lot more discharge recently which I believe to be my mucous plug coming out in pieces already. I'm thinking I'm gonna be going into labor sometime in the next 2 weeks but who knows, I have to wait until Thurs to discuss it with my dr. You, should for sure call your dr soon as this could all mean the same for you except you would be going into pre-term labor significantly sooner than I would (I'm 36wks). Just to ease your mind. It may be nothing at all but it's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and I hope all this discomfort passes quickly for you. Keep us posted. :)
