gross tmi question, ladies, but do any of you have gas?

holy cow, i have the worst gas ever. my husband is a saint, but even he has mentioned that whew, pregnancy has made me GASSY!!

 

[TTCBean]

I am one gassy lassy!!!

 

[Sass827]

I have never been this gassy in my life. It's horrendous. I think my DH is totally grossed out. He's being sweet about it though. I'm totally grossed out by it. And it just seems to be getting worse. Is it safe to take gas x while preggers?

 

[jtink28]

my doc said gas-x was fine. i don't want to take too much, so i only take it on *bad* days (which have been more frequent lately, ugh!!!)

 

[Hann12]

Insomnia arghhh and so uncomfortable! Been up hours!!

 

[MightyMom]

I was really gassy last pregnancy, this time not at all. But LO is so much more active this pregnancy. And I can't sleep either. Every time I lay down I get BH and LO starts dancing around. Need sleep!!!

Insomnia arghhh and so uncomfortable! Been up hours!!

Ah me too Hann x

 

[lpjkp]

I've been lying awake with Jenson hiccuping the last couple of nights...i think I spoke too soon when I said I was still sleeping great...it all went downhill from there!!!

Does anyone feel like they don't have anymore space? It scares me how big Jenson feels in there! And he wiggles as if there isn't much room in there! I hope he isn't a mini elephant!

 

[Sass827]

There's def a lot of pressure whenever she turns. And pressure on the bottom of my uterus. Does it seem a bit early for this?

 

[julesjules100]

No, I don't think so Sass. For ages we've been told to expect to pee lots from the pressure of baby on our bladders (right next to the bottom of the uterus) so would make sense to be getting tonnes of pressure even now. We're getting quite far along now so don't think it's too early and expect it will just get worse, especially when lightening happens!

[Hann12]

It gets much much worse when it's engaged!

 

[TTCBean]

The past couple nights I've been getting sudden jitters/nausea... any idea what that could be? I eat when I feel that way but it doesn't help at all. I feel like I am drinking and eating enough too...

 

[MightyMom]

I'm on board with the "there's no more room" train and also the "lots of pressure!" train. I cannot believe we have ~9 more weeks of this. THERE'S NO MORE ROOM! (I guess there must be...)

TTCBean: Did you get morning sickness in the first tri? It comes back in the 3rd tri. That would be my guess on the nausea. The jitters might be from a blood sugar drop. Try eating a piece of fruit next time it happens to see if that helps.

 

[Sass827]

I can't imagine being any bigger! Crazy!

 

[julesjules100]

Ah the 3.30am wake. Get up or lie here till 7.30. Tricky. Anyone else awake?

x

 

[Sass827]

Jules! You poor thing! Are you hungry maybe?

 

[julesjules100]

Nah not yet but I will be in an hour or so! So annoying as this stupid process of waiting to go back to sleep will take me to 7.30. Guaranteed. Hmm, read a book or lovefilm? Tough call.

I'm dreaming of serious pharmaceuticals to knock me out. Oh if only x

 

[Hann12]

Jules I hope you got back to sleep! I slept okay but just wish my DD would wake up a bit later - 6.30am isn't fun when she has been getting up at 7.30 previously. Think it's the lighter mornings.

Ttc - yes try fruit but also get your blood pressure checked as high blood pressure can make you feel nauseous and jittery I believe. Also I know you portion control and do lots of exercise still - might be time to relax it all a bit now you are getting bigger and the baby needs more.

 

[jtink28]

just to make all you tiny girls feel better....look how huge i am at 31+2!!

ignore the weird face i'm making - i couldn't get a good picture in the bathroom mirror at work, and finally got this one, but my face looks weird, haha!

why does my belly look so huge compared to some of you girls??? i'm short, only 5'3", maybe that's why my belly is so big!

 

[Hann12]

Jtink you look fab - you are a week ahead of my picture, plus the bump always looks bigger when you show the skin. Also I'm sure being shorter makes a difference.

Having the longest day in the world at the moment!! DD up at 6.30 and only napped for 1 hour 20 so it's a 12 hour playtime. If only the weather had been nice all week we could have just gone in the garden but nope typical British weather has let us down again. I can't wait for spring to arrive properly!!
