Rants and questions all in one...
I'm putting this under a cut because it might get long...
So like many of you I have stretch marks. Or what I think are stretch marks. They cover my sides,inner thighs and the back of my knees. Theyre purple but not deep, I can barely feel them. While they are ugly and scary looking since I'm so pale these days, I've come to accept them and welcome them without tears.It took me awhile to get over it, but my little girl is soooo worth it and I have no one to show my legs or hips to anyways...get over it already.
But I noticed today that the stretch marks on my inner thighs hurt. Its like a pulling under my skin feeling. I'm wondering if thats the feeling of more stretch marks or if I'm going to get those bubbly varicose veins? It hurts when I stand up or if my chunky thighs rub together the wrong way. Has anyone experienced this feeling on or around your stretch marks before?
So I know as I approach my due date...which is thrown between November 28th and December 9th, since I've seen three different doctors during my pregnancy and I'm such a whore I dont know when I conceived exactly. But I'm sticking with December 4th since this is the date I received when my little bean was measured when I was around 12 weeks. November 28th was given when I made up my last known period and they guessed on the round due date thingy. December 9th is the date I was given when she was measured at around 25 weeks. So I'm sticking with December 4th since the sono at 12 weeks is more accurate than any.
Anyways, as I get further along I find myself not sleeping or having odd sleeping patterns. For the past month I've been staying up all night long and sleeping all day. It gets really annoying. When I have appointments with my midwife I have to get up really early. So that means I'll stay awake until around 6 or 6:30 in the morning, sleep till 9 then go to my appointment. I will be awake from 9 until 6 or 6:30 the next day. My body is so tired but my mind is going nuts. My legs get all weird when I try to go to sleep. I have to constantly kick or move them to relieve that itchy, tension feeling. I cant take it any more...I'm nervous that I'll have this wacked sleeping schedule when my delivery time comes around and I'll be exhausted. This might change but I'm still worried about it.
Are there any natural methods of relieving this leg tension? I've tried doing methods of clearing my mind before going to bed but it only works until my legs start acting up. I've taken tylenol pm but it only makes the restlessness more unbearable.
Help! My appointment with my midwife was canceled because she had a labor, so I have to wait till friday or next week to ask my questions. But I figured someone might be able to ease my mind until then.
Sorry about the long post. I hope everyone is doing well! TIA!
