I've been very tired but I'm also having trouble sleeping (that's annoying). I'm experiencing shortness of breath and pelvic pressure. I'm also a little congested and have started snoring. They're really my only symptoms though. I feel I've been quite lucky.
Let me see now, where to begin!! I have had most of those on the list with all 3 pregnancies.... LOL. Guess I am normal after all.... With this preg I found that I didn't have the Hyper Emmesis(severe vomitting & hospitilisation) was lucky enough to just get the morning sickness - if you can be lucky to get it.. hehe. I had also in the first few weeks with this one swollen hands, face, feet and tiredness -- extreme tiredness. Maybe the gestational diabetes had something to do with that part. Had it with this and last preg. (GD). This one I couldn't sleep in my bed had to sit up and sleep due to pelvic pain and pins & needles. So my lounge see's more of me at night that my bed...lol. Breasts were tender in the early days also. Oh and colostasis with this and last preg. Itchy skin drives me mad... Oh well I guess not long now and I won't have to complain much more.... Its all worth it in the end when you get to look at the little round face that causes so much for nine months....LOL Enjoy it I say. Safe deliveries girls
So relieved to read that others are going through the same things, but also feel for you all too. No wonder we get a bit nuts.
I think in the first trimester I felt crap every single day, the second trimester it was days of good and then days of bad, and now in the third trimester there are almost alternate weeks of opposing physical sensations- for days on end I can feel capable of running a marathon and have moved large pieces of furniture around the house (and back to their original position of course!) - - and then a week later and it's like being back in the first trimester -- trying to hide all-day yawning behind my computer is getting really hard at work and coffee doesn't seem to work on this kind of tiredness. Only 5 more work weeks to go ...yay! and then 4 weeks of lovely rest (I hope) before I really get to know what true sleep deprivation is when baby arrives.
Had a freaky baby limb stretch waaaay out of my belly this morning which reminded me of a hatching scene from the Alien film. If anyone has seen the program 'Coupling' [sort of a UK version of Friends] you'll know what I mean about the pregnancy/Alien reference.

For about a week now I've had ringing in my ears. At first I was blaming the freezer in my house as I could only hear it when I got home, but now I can hear it at work when the office is quiet. We don't have a freezer in the office so it's definitely me. :-(
I've found some info about a small percentage of pregnant women experiencing it. Has anyone else had it? Did it go away or get worse?
I think I'll put up with it until after the birth and if it's still there afterwards get it checked out. ;-)
Thank god Tracey I thought I was the only one starting to fell spewey again...I had a major power vomit the other morning...some mornings are a real struggle.And the heartburn thing I have every day, antacid tablets are my best friend!And I hate the fact I'm soooo tired but can't sleep at night for more than 1 hour intervals because of my sore hips!

I have the same! Really bad heart burn, nothing works to stop it & nausea again.... I have 5 weeks left but I am not sure if i'll make it. LOL. I am also having sleeping probs. I think my hips are getting sore from the extra weight & they ache when I am sleeping.
It takes me about 10 mins to get out of bed everytime I need to go to the loo (5 times a night ) Its just so painful, my hips and pelvis ache something shocking! Its been like this for about 2 months now, but its gotten to the point where Im pretty much on bed rest! I think I might have that SPD ( Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) oh well lets just hope im in the %5 of women who go into labor on their due date
Happened with DS in the 3rd tri too. I am naturally a dark blonde, but in my 3rd tri my hair turns dark brown like REALLY dark, but only on my head, eye brows and underarms. My leg hair is still super blonde so you cannot see it. From memory DS was at least 3 months old before my hair went back to it's normal colour.
Nasty calf cramps in the middle of the night!!! They are so excruciating and my leg just locks up with toes pointed, that i have to try to stand up and pull toes back. As a consequence of this, my calves feels like I have pulled muscles.
I lost some pigment in my skin in some patches...My OB told me it would come back after DS was born ( of course I didn't believe him ) But sure enough it did!! and another thing I also got was skin tags (only little ones) 2 under my arm and one on the inner part of my thigh, they have never gone away though...gosh I sound like a right treat
