Light hearted question, but share yours with people that care and might even empathise (DH is struggling to keep his sympathy face on these days).

Mine would have to be acid reflux I reckon (with a silver for the SPD and a bronze for sore under-carriage)!

My natural peplum 6months postnatal.

No, you can buy it over the counter, but you can ask for a prescription anyway!

Zara1984 · 02/08/2012 22:50

At 28 weeks it's fucking sciatica!!!! Right bum sears with pain.

In between howls of pain I wonder if labour will be worse than this Sad

TheDetective · 02/08/2012 22:51

Its stronger on prescription :) I have prescription!

HermioneE · 02/08/2012 22:55

Constantly feeling sick, with occasional breaks to feel hungry followed by extra sickness to make me regret eating.

ChocolateIsAFoodGroup · 02/08/2012 22:57

The rage! The impatience! The grumpiness! (Here's a tip, DH: Just do what I say and don't argue....)

To the other DC: I cannot pick you up. I cannot carry you. I can lie here and read stories, or watch T.V.....

Heartburn then sciatica Sad

BornStroppy · 02/08/2012 23:03

having to eat every two hours - im piling on the pounds and it seems unavoidable. only eight weeks along.

moblijo · 02/08/2012 23:04

Anaemia :/ I feel like crap everyday and the iron tablets only keep me going til 3pm. Then I just want to sleep but LO is off school so no chance of that :/

twizzlestix · 02/08/2012 23:06

I echo many pp with bloody acid reflux followed closely by restless legs which jolt me awake at night!

Midgetm · 02/08/2012 23:10

The rage. And being tired all day, when I can't sleep and then not being able to sleep at night when I can.

SlightlyBabyCrazed · 02/08/2012 23:18

The rage has been pretty bad up to this week, now subsiding or maybe just in remission!
Pelvic girdle pain or Spd, not diagnosed yet, but rolling over in night is agony already at 12 weeks! Angry

It was the heartburn but I too am taking the wonderful stuff that is Ranitadine so that doesn't bother me anymore. Right now this minute it's the bastard bloody hip/lower back pain which stops me from getting comfortable in bed and causes me to wake frequently in the night. This has to be closely followed by the leg/foot cramp which only ever happens at night, in my left leg, when I've finally got comfy and I'm dropping off to sleep. This causes me to hoist myself out of bed at speed, well marginally faster than a tortoise, so that I may put the aforementioned foot on the floor to relieve the cramp. Once it's gone then cue the thrashing around in bed again trying to get comfy and relieve the hip pain...aarrgghhhh.

Only 11 more days to go....

Jergens · 02/08/2012 23:24

The vomiting was sooo bad til week 20 that any other symptom I've had just doesn't even register!

Scarredbutnotbroken · 02/08/2012 23:30

Wind!

DilysPrice · 02/08/2012 23:34

The bit where an entire human being comes out of your fanjo, very very slowly and so painfully that sticking a fuckoff great needle in your spinal column to stop it hurting seems like a good idea.

GrandPoohBah · 02/08/2012 23:35

Sciatica which alternates sides with the hip pain. I'm only 23 weeks, and it's just going to get worse...

VickyU · 02/08/2012 23:38

Definitely the nausea and sickness. At 12 weeks I was hoping it would get a bit better by now but it just hasn't. Also I miss enjoying food so much!

BustleInYourHedgerow · 02/08/2012 23:42

Thank you Detective. I may treat myself to some tomorrow:)

xmasevebundle · 03/08/2012 02:40

def my stomach muscles parting.. its so much pain. withdrawel symtons from cravings its worse than giving up smoking. past 7 weeks ive been craving a roast and slush puppy. i even dream about it but i tell myself no and im giving in Blush....

Longdistance · 03/08/2012 03:10

Constipation and piles. Not being able to go. Then, when baby arrives still can't go as piles are sooo painful you can't sit down and feed baby properly as you can't get comfy :( and then when you do eventually go, it's so sore, you think you're giving birth again would rather give birth again

Queenofsiburbia · 03/08/2012 06:29

I'm 22.4 weeks... I'm sure there will be other, worse ones!

  1. terrible nausea at the beginning

  2. Really bad blotchy pigmentation on face (melasma or whatever it's called) that means I'm wearing factor 50 every day & full face of make up, even during heatwave

  3. stomach that's shrunk to third normal capacity at only 5 months, but bizarrely an appetite that's growing Confused

  4. shocking wind!

Shortbutsosweet · 03/08/2012 06:38

In my last few weeks of pregnancy I kept wetting myself Blush.

At 27 weeks and it is the sciatica / bum ache that is the worst for me
