I just wanted to take a second to reflect on some symptoms I've been experiencing that I would have never expected. First trimester I had the usual: constipation, nausea, food aversions, and insane mood swings. This trimester is completely different.
The weirdest of all the symptoms lately is my incessant sneezing. Sometimes I sneeze 2 or 3 times in a row. I'm not usually a big 'sneezer' so it sort of takes me by surprise. I've also noticed sharp back pain (never had any constant achiness before.) It gets so bad I need to take tylenol 2 or 3 times a week. I really hope it goes away after the baby is born. I've also been sort of short of breath. I'm not sure if my chest engorgement is causing it or if I just need more exercise? Supposedly I'm in normal weight gain. At 23 weeks I'm up about 10 lbs from my normal weight.
I noticed having a little trouble getting in and out of the car today. My stomach and baby E are going through a growth spurt! I have an SUV so it's a bit of a step up. Hopefully Cash for Clunkers gets more funding so we can get a more baby friendly vehicle. :)
