So I am starting to get super excited about the birth of my LO now that my childbirth prep class is done and I can say he's due next month : ) As a result I am super tuned in with my body for any signals. Wondering what others have been or did feel the last two months of pregnancy?

Here's what I've noticed~
Slightly increased swelling in hands and feet
Increased fatigue
More general mild crampy feelings (not in waves but kinda consistent)
(TMI) Increased bowel movements, which are now kinda loose
BHCs every once in a while
Increased heartburn
Increased appetite

TIA : )

Oh no Em! I wondered if you'd have a return of m/s. I forgot to mention that I had two nites of nausea recently. One in which I was poised over the toilet but didn't puke. And I know you had some serious m/s before so I was wondering.

I am sorry you are having so much pain too, that's gotta be awful and interfere with your sleep. What about BHCs? I am grilling you cause our EDDs are so close LOL

I'm sorry you are experiencing the nausea too! I'm wondering if mine was related to heartburn/reflux... it's possible. The pain isn't too bad... I have good night and bad nights sleeping, but honestly I was a horrible sleeper before pregnancy, so this is par for the course for me! I guess all the symptoms we are having are our bodies preparing us for what's to come!

I do have some BHC's, mostly when I am working out, but I haven't noticed an increase. Do your cramps feel like PMS cramps? During AF I also had back cramps, and this is kind of what I'm experiencing now, but on and off like you.

Oh yeah body aches too. It's esp noticeable when I get up in the morning and plant my feet on the ground for the first time. I feel so slow, uncoordinated and heavy and I am even on target with a 22 lb weight gain.

Em,
Yeah the cramps feel exactly like PMS cramps. Identical to the first tri for me.
