DF & WWSB I too share your work worries. It's such a busy time for me, I manage a portfolio and feel awful if I'm not doing the same hours as my colleagues. No one else will do it if I don't, so I've been struggling with long hours monday to thursday but always keep to a normal friday. I'm fretting about my maternity cover, they are having interviews next week for the maternity cover of my manager who went on maternity leave end of June. They aren't due to start for another 6 weeks after interview! Coping during the busiest time without a manager, or another experienced person around is chaos. I've been here 5 years and all the others started in January, so I've been 'managing' them to some degree.
I am 26+5.
boobs are more firm, nipples huge dark and erect. Leak often, mostly at night, sex, warm showers, when I'm perving over the hot guy in IT. Most of my normal bras are too tight cup wise and band wise. But the bra's I bought a couple of months ago are still fine, I bought them when they fit on the tightest clasp, so I could let them out as my boobs expanded. Underwire still though, can't seem to work out soft cup bras for me. I go unaboob in them.
stretch marks, no new ones, but old ones are starting to strain.
belly button still an innie, but depth varies with the position of LB.
Hip/lower back/pelvis pain. started to get numbness in my left leg if lying/sitting/standing in one position too long/ cramp in my calves and the feeling of impending cramp which is just niggly. Waddling and tortoise's can overtake me.
Loos are the floor above or below us, or a walk to the other end of campus for the loos that don't need stairs. Stairs are painful to negotiate, but I worry that by the time I get to the other loos I'd have wasted a trip, little puddle half way there. Peeing a trickle everytime I go, even though I feel like there is more, somewhere. Aches after I pee, in my pelvis.
Drinking large quantities of water.
sudden exhaustion, often in the shower, on walks or doing housework. Comes up really quickly and urgent need to rest. breathlessness and achey, recovery quite quick though. Feel like an old lady.
pains when little one pushes outwards. I think s/he braces feet just above belly button and pushes as it burns, rubbing at it and gently pushing back seems to ease it.
Nausea but no puking, mild heartburn/indegestion depending on what I have eaten. Gaviscon is vile. I am on the fennel tea which calms it down a little.
fingers starting to swell a bit, especially after a long day typing or clicking.
Disturbed sleep, either I wake myself while tossing and turning or LB wakes me with kicking. Worrying about disturbing DH with my squeaks of pain. He's also so busy and flat out. All we tend to do is sleep when we are home.
