Itchy Boobs
I can only assume my boobs are itchy because they are growing in size and the skin is stretching. I moisturize them when I do my belly massage at night. Who wants stretch marks on their ta-ta's? I certainly do not.
Backne
I'm still breaking out a bit but things are clearing up, I use medicated body power after showering and it helps dry the oily skin.
Shit Happens, Just Not All the Time
Constipation has always been an issue for me, pregnancy hasn't made it much worse. I eat some Triscut crackers if I feel I need some help moving things along. Since there is now a human renting my uterus it feels weird to poo, like what's left of my ab muscles are pressing against Lil One. Now pooing feels like an accomplishment worthy of a trophy.
I Just Threw Up in My Mouth a Little Bit
Reflux is another wondering thing that I experienced before pregnancy but unlike constipation the reflux has worsened with pregnancy. Nothing says "AWESOME!" like a mouth full of stomach content.
Sleeping Arrangements
I'm now sleeping on my left side at the edge of the bed hugging a pillow. I think I'm getting ready to upgrade to either a body pillow or one of the hook shaped pillows at Babies'R'Us.
Disapearing Bladder
My bladder is being squished by Lil One. It's being squished so much that there is no room for pee. I visit the bathroom every 15-20 minutes (if I'm lucky).
Hungry Hungry Hippo
Appetite has spiked and I'm snacking during most of the day. Nothing seems to satisfy my hunger or "hit the spot" anymore.
That's all that I have going on right now and felt you all needed to know :)

TY for the follow. I totally LOL'd with this. After four pregnancies I think I have experienced it all or close to it. I won't tell you what comes next as I can't wait to see your take on it lol
Following you back :D
I'm about half as far along as you are, but the bladder and appetite points I can definitely agree with. And I cuddle a lot with my body pillow.
@L.A.C.E I'm glad you enjoyed the post.....but I gotta admit after reading your comment "I won't tell you what comes next..." you have me nervous lol.
@Vanessa Congrats again on the pregnancy! It's exciting, I felt like I was blindsided when all the preggo hormones started taking over. It's like invasion of the body snatchers :)
don't be too nervous. I just don't want to take the experience away from you. One thing I noticed from mom sights is when you here what's next you look for those things and miss what's unique to your pregnancy. Each of my four were different. Like with my fourth pregnancy I hated being pregnant. I had never experienced that with any of the others. Also each labour was different. For example this last one I had no idea I was in labour and almost had him at home.
wanted to add one more thing. for the constipation thing, what helped as well (it also helped with my heartburn) was drinking lemon water. It's just room temperature water and a lemon. it has all sorts of health benefits and it's natural.
Congrats on your first pregnancy!!! (seeing as mommy brain missed saying this the first time)
Please tell me you've read Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs? Reading this post totally reminded me of it. If you haven't you must check it out. Best pregnancy book ever!
@L.A.C.E. I'll have to try the room temp water with lemon, thanks for sharing!
@An Irish Italian Blessing No, I haven't read it. The only pregnancy book I read was Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip! PS: hope you feel better!
Thanks girl! I just read this again and cracked up about the bladder. My U/S tech told me it looked like my little guy was using my bladder as a PILLOW! How comfy.... : (
