31w5d- Mucus, mucus, mucus and Zzzzzzz

Pregnant women have so much to deal with. Why do they have to add extra mucus on top of it? I swear I'm leaking from every orphus of my body. My nose especially is driving me crazy! I'm so stuffed up constantly that I can barely breathe. And when I try to blow my nose really hard, it just starts bleeding. As if this time of the year isn't hard enough on cold symptoms. And the fatigue... ugh! It's just as bad the last few days as it was in the first trimester. I have only been at work for an hour, and I can barely keep my eyes open. I was actually a half hour late today, because I could not get out of bed for the life of me this morning. I sure hope this is just a small phase. Maybe my hormones surged again or something. I'm guessing they had to have, because my gums bled really bad when brushing this morning.
I like to pregame Thanksgiving every year. I just get too excited for a big meal that I get impatient. So I made a turkey yesterday, homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, and a veggie casserole. That is just a mini feast. Can't wait for Thursday. It was so good, though! We all stuffed ourselves. Best part was it didn't affect my blood sugar level at all. It was still under 100. Can't wait to go to the doctor Wednesday and show them all of my numbers. I'm hoping I'll get to test less or something. 4 times a day is a little ridiculous when I'm not going over my limit at all.
The menstrual type cramps have stopped. They were horrible there for a few days, but I haven't noticed hardly any at all in the last week. Still having BH contractions, but not as many and not as strong. Really thinking that pelvic rest, drinking more water, and lots of prayers really helped. This baby might go to term after all! :)

 | Comment from josamarie » Posted Nov. 24, 2015 12:25am The nose bleeds are horrible, I actually called my doctor today because I was nervous about how much blood my nose can produce! The stuffiness is no fun at all either, I really hope you get some relief! |
 | Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Nov. 23, 2015 8:54pm Lol.. Well I think I spoke too soon. After I posted this earlier, first the pressure started. Then the cramps. Then the contractions. She feels even lower than usual tonight, and I could barely walk while Christmas shopping tonight. These babies... Not always so nice to their mommas. |
 | Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Nov. 23, 2015 6:16pm Hope you make it full term as well. Sorry about all of the mucus lol. I've been exhausted the past week or two as well. Tom and I did some xmas shopping yesterday (not much) and you'd think I had run a marathon. I got home and slept. I'm getting to the "so over this pregnancy" stage lol. |
 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Nov. 23, 2015 5:27pm Fingers crossed for full term! I feel your pain on the mucus. I usually don't have any issues with congestion unless I've caught something serious but now I constantly feel the need to blow my nose, which is still usually unsuccessful. And my gums have only just slowed their bleeding. Me and Sebastian brush together and it always freaks him out to see red in my spit... The things we do to give life... If it were up to men, we'd all go extinct... |
