1) I too would like to know this one (FTM)
2) Yes, yes and yes. I cried the other day watching an infomercial. And I got super aggravated because I couldn't get my pants off without my socks coming off and you would have thought I was wrestling an alligator. GRRRR
3) Would love to know this too. Aching allllllll the time! My birthing class showed us a cool way to lay but I don't know if it actually works because I don't have the right pillows (yet).
4) Hahahaha! I feel good in the mornings, but exhausted by afternoon. If by glow you mean big red rash on my chest that itches uncontrollably then I am GLOW-ING!

I actually can't remember when I started using the ball last time! I think it was after the physio class but I can't remember when that was. I know towards the end I used it a LOT. I basically used it to relief back pain whenever needed. I would say probably the second half of third trimester?

Re the "glow" - I don't think I ever did with my son! I have miserable pregnancies!

1. Start any time with the ball. Don't be crazy on it, but even just sitting on it can encourage great positioning!
2. Yep thank you hormones.. I'm up down and all around with these wild hormones.. one minute I love everyone the next I hate everyone the next everything is just so sad and the next all is well!!
3. I highly HIGHLY recommend a chiropractor.. I know I know.. I never believed in them and so many people recommended I go when pregnant with dd and I would roll my eyes and I never went. I started going this time because it's part of my vbac plan to make sure my pelvis is in perfect alignment which will in turn encourage baby to have good positioning! This pregnancy and my last are NIGHT AND DAY different.. I can't believe how awesome I feel. Also sleep with a pillow beside you and the leg you're NOT laying on put on top of the pillow, best sleep position I've found!!
4. I don't know when the glow starts, it's different for everyone and sometimes it never shows As for energy.. meh, I get my bursts here and there but I think my window is vanishing as in third tri I never had much energy!!
