I don't think your "supposed" to have braxton hicks. I didn't really notice them much with my first two and with this one I notice but they are not bothersome nor very common. I think each person/pregnancy is different.

Hello everyone! Glad I haven't had those cramps since the other night. Now I've got something else icky going on. At night I'm swollen down there, but only on one side. I googled it, but I don't think it's anything it mentioned. It goes away by morning. I did find something that mentioned vericose veins. Anyways, sure hope it goes away after DD is born.
Eeks...gotta run...DS is on the pot and he's been there a little while. Need to make sure he isn't playing with all of the toilet paper. BBL, Tana

Juicing
Thanks for replying to my post. Just in case your wondering the regular juice I give her contains carrots, spinach, and a stalk of celery every morning. I suppose you could try two stalks to speed things along. Just a tidbit she also would suffer from heartburn (not daily though like with the migraines) which is correlated with migraines. She cannot believe the difference in how she feels.
Please post and let me know if this helps for curiosity sake on my part. Now I'm not a doctor but just have seen first hand in the last year the testament my dd is to juicing (plus a little research). It may take a little longer with you being an adult and pregnant and all. The baby growing inside you certainly requires a lot to grow. I suffered from anemia terribly with pregancy and still do, but juicing has helped tremendously.

Jen - you'd better enjoy your sleep while you can!! Glad your bag is packed and ready.
Well I feel better today. I didn't get to try the juice cause my celery was on its way out. I haven't made it to the store. I love juicing though I have a pretty fancy shmancy juicer(champion). I like carrot w/broccoli juice and grapefruit juice the best. I'll have to try the celery if it comes back. I sure hope it doesn't ugh.

Good morning! I am doing pretty good today too.
I have to ask a question and I hope no one thinks I am a nut case.
BUT, I have these insane "cravings" lately for sniffing gasoline and nail polish. NOOOO, I don't give into them and go sniffing, but the urge is greatly there and I feel like I will explode if I don't go smell them. Sometimes, I have to go take a bath or something to get the thought of gasoline out of my head. What is going on with that? It just started about a week ago for no apparent reason. This has never happened before.
Okay - talk to you all later.

Clarissa -you need to ask your dr about that. That is a sign of something but off the top of my head I can't remember what. maybe a deficiency like anemia. But I hear if you have that to tell your dr.
intensityjunkie
Cathlete
I think it is anemia.. you'll probably be put on an iron suppliment. If it gets to that point they want it treated. I have mild anemia and she told me just to eat more red meat and greens.

Cathlete
pica is what you call when you have cravings for unnatural things. But the cause is a deficiency. It may not be Iron but I think it is the most common.

clarissa i dont think you are crazy. i have heard of women who want to, and will eat dirt, and also soap and other things that you would not normally thing of. maybe a craving to smell these things is along a similar line. i'd ask your doctor. hopefully they can help resolve this for you. someone i work with wanted to eat dirt all the time. luckily i dont have any cravings let us know what happens!
im tired and a little down today. im having to deal with this whole foreclosure issue from when i was in VA, getting sued apparently And im still waiting to hear about the outcome of our current home. lots of other not so great things going on in my life. trying to stay positive. seems like when it rains, it pours :'(

Quiet night over here!
Im beat, i've had a rough day
When i came home i attempted Cathe's 4DS Bootcamp Cardio. MY injury started hurting again tho. Im getting very aggrevated. I was resting for 3 or 4 days. It seems like all cardio bothers me now except for jumping jacks and jumping. Running, marching, step, kicbox etc just hurts the area where i hurt myself
i am going CRAZY without being abe to do cardio. Im feeling so fat and really need cardio to help me feel better I dont even know how i hurt that area or what i can do to make it better. sigh..
anyway i did STS disk 4 for upper body weights. at least i can lift without issue, but its just not the same without cardio
any suggestions? does anyone else deal with this problem? i dont know if its becuase of the baby or if i just pulled something (but dont know how!)

I can't workout either. I get the same pains. i can't do legs or anything either. I just sneak in some upper body lifting about everyday so I feel "good". It doesn't help much.
Boy, I am so down in the dumps. Yesterday my computer completely crashed. Soooo, all my lifetime of pictures of kids might be gone, all my personal training info might be gone as well as my payment history and everything you can fathom for my business including my website original files. I am so angry, you guys. I am serious. It cost me $385 to get it fixed from the virus I have on it and I wont' get it back for a whole week. And they cant guarantee i will ever have my files again. I am at the library so I probably won't be on until next week again. I just don't have that kind of money right now. Oh well. I am a sad sack today. I feel so helpless like I am lettign my clients down who I was still training via internet. soooo sick of this.
gotta go - you all have a nice weekend! clarissa

That's horrible, Clarissa! I pray everything is recovered for you. I couldn't imagine losing all of my kiddo's pictures or financial information. Did you have a chance to pull pt info for 2008 taxes?
Jen, does the pain stop when you stop working out or does it linger? Do you have a dr appt this week? Who can sue you over the foreclosure in VA? The mortgage co? That's crazy. If you could have prevented foreclosure, you would have. That stinks how they can kick you when you're already down. = (
I haven't been working out either. I asked the dr about my swelling and she said it's the baby/uterus laying on the vena cava. The vein isn't able to send all of the blood back to my heart so it pools. She called it something congestion. I'm tired of not being able to work out. I got a subscription to Oxygen magazine for Christmas and I'm itching to do a kickbutt workout. I know it'll hurt my back/hips/inner thighs. They already hurt when I'm not doing anything at all.

Clarissa - OH NO on the computer. that is really awful!!! You should've had a backup harddrive though. We have a couple. There are places/people that specialize in retrieving memory from things but I don't know where to point you on that. Try a google search. You'd have to mail it to them though. You may get lucky. Let us know how it goes.
Jen - well you and Clarissa are SO close you should just relax. really!! You don't want your injury to cause you pain during labor or after baby when your already tired/beat up feeling. I think you've done GREAT for exercising during your pregnancy. My last few weeks I could only really walk cause I felt like I couldn't hardly breath. The baby takes up so much room! ha.
well GUESS what? I took my son to get his eyes checked yesterday. Hes complained of not seeing things far away well. The dr said he will need glasses but not for another 6 mo -1year. BUT I do need some now. I am farsighted with astigmatism in both eyes. I guess just enough to cause some eye strain -nothing severe. So I ordered a pair of glasses. I doubt it has anything to do with my severe migranes that go on for days. Cause I don't look at much then but lay in bed. I think it is a hormonal/chemical thing. But it may cause some of my smaller headaches that are just bothersome possibly. He said to wear them when reading, watching tv or whenever I have to focus on something very much. So I'm actually eager to try them out. ha. I haven't really ever had my eyes properly checked like that. I could get missed on just the simple cover one eye tests cause I can read them but they are a tad blurry. I noticed that when looking thru the eye thingymajig and he got it to where they looked perfect and then flipped them off and said this was my eyes without the glasses. whoa?? really. ha. So now I notice even writing this that the letters are just a HAIR blurry and I am squinting a tad and trying to focus when typing. I think the glasses will help.

Jen - I saw the CUTEST jumperoo at Target. I love it. Its like a cross between a johnny jump up and an exersaucer. too cool I may have to get that. I don't think they made them like that when I had my last son? maybe they did and I didn't see it. anyway.

hi everyone
sorrty for the lack of responses all day! I was busy at working training some people.
anyhoo - im thinking maybe i have something wrtong with my sciatic nerve. i was walking the dog and after 20 minutes it hurt so bad that i had to limp home. i did not attempt cardio today i just did workout 5 from STS all upper body weight. It doesnt bother me to do that. The pain doesnt go away, to answer you Tana. Sometimes it gets duller but its been here for a couple days in the row. its on my left side, on the glute area mostly and the side. like when i tired to do lateral runs side to side in 4ds bootcamp it really aggrevated the left side. for some reason i can squat just fine and jump up and down and do jumping jacks but any other movement, including marching in place, running or step aggrevates it. i'm so upset I have so much stress in my life right now and working out is a good outlet and nowi cant even seem to do that. I dont even feel like i worked out today!
also, about getting sued, yes its the mortgage co. the first mortgage got the money when the house was auctions and the second co got nothing and they are the ones coming after me. i have nothing to offer and really dont want to have to go thru this mess its just one giant mess. THen this current house issue on top of it. i dont even know if i am going to be homeless!
oh and i just found out my mom has to go in for surgery tomorrow. her gall bladder is only at 10% function and they said it could rupture at any time now like an appenidix and spill out tons of bile and then she will really be in trouble. she has not been feelign well for over a year and has various other issues going on. i dont know how long this gall bladder issue has been going on. i just got off the phone with her she is nervous and i know she wont get any sleep tonite. she said she is always afraid she will never wake up again after they put her under and she is a worrywart in general Times like this i really hate myself for being so far away
AM i a downer today or what?!?! I'm really sorry all Life just stinks right now. I said a few paryers to just help me to remember to put all my faith in Jesus and I tell myself God cant give me more than i cant handle, right? I dunno....like i said, when it rains, it pours.
CLarissa - sorry about all the computer problems. THat is never any fun at all. I hope you did not lose all the info and momentos
Seems liek a lot of us are having a bad day!!
jess i never did get the jumperoo. its 90. i want the rainforest jumperoo. it got really good eviews. i want a bouncy seat too but its 50 dollars or so why is baby crap so much money?!?!
also, to answer your quetion i still have carpal tunnel. its only in my right hand. some days its worse than others. some morening i will wake up in a lot of pain and it will just be all numb and tingly at the same time. right now i dont really feel it. when i lift weights, i feel it then too. i hope you dont develop that.
i was doing so well in this pregnancy up until the third trimester. my swelling exploded, now i limp around and i got carpal tunnel. the ct and the swelling may have started in the second trimester, but i dont remember.
ig uess all this will be worth it in the end!!
I go see my midwife tomorrow for my 38 week checkup. im assuming they do another pelvic exam. i have a feeling im not dialted or anything yet. part of me wants the baby to come now becuase i have some pains. the other part isnt quite ready

Jen - you poor thing. well, you know the sciatic nerve problems are VERY common in pregnancy. You probably didn't actually injure it, its just all the weight or baby pushing on it. I remember getting shooting pains down my leg from my lower back sometimes. It will go away when the baby comes. You just need to have that baby! Its pretty typical to feel like your falling apart at the end with all sorts of aches and pains. It makes you ready to be done with it and have the baby already! ha. Sorry you still have carpel tunnel. I'm pretty sure I'm getting it but we'll see. I've had it before and I remember this feeling. They are getting more sore as the day goes on to where I'm rubbing them and going "ouch!" so... sigh.
Wow the house situation does sound stressful!!! sorry. I hope it turns out not so bad anyway.
Yeah baby stuff is VERY expensive - it's rediculous. I was looking at bassinets today and they cost as much as the crib I got?? sheesh. not gonna do that. I am probably going to get some stuff on craigslist. I've seen the rainforest jumperoo on there. (looked today) and there were a couple from the last few days. So I guess its pretty popular. I saw the other fisher price one at the store. and yeah was taken aback at the pricetag. I'm sure you can get stuff like a bouncer, jumperoo etc on craigslist pretty cheap compared to brand new. They seem to be posting some everyday. So keep your eyes peeled on there.
