Every pregnancy I get earlier and stronger braxton hicks contractions...I understand that is normal. I'm 19 weeks and already getting them. They are annoying the heck out of me. Painful....no. Uncomfortable...maybe slightly. But terribly annoying! So...now that I've vented...what pregnancy symptoms just annoy you? Not like, vomit everytime you brush your teeth miserable...but just annoying...y'know?

What can I do next?

When I'm pregnant I have this one painful varicose vein on my right calf. It pretty much disappears and doesn't bother me when I'm not expecting. But I'm at 16 weeks, and it's already to the point where any amount of standing makes it achy. And the thought of having to wear compression hose/socks through the summer is just icky.

I'm actually sitting here watching my belly jump around and smiling. This is for sure my last pregnancy, so I'm trying to savor it! I'm only 24 weeks, so I will eventually get Braxton Hicks I'm sure...I'm hoping for no heartburn (none so far, yay!) and that my restless leg doesn't get any worse.

I am only 17 weeks-but yesterday, my baby started kicking me HARD!
Too soon, Wee One, too soon!
I have also been having really bad pain when I move around in bed. Last night DH and I were talking and he made me laugh-oh MY-it hurt so bad, I was actually scared I had damaged something.
Oh and I can't get to sleep. Which is really, really annoying!

Like Kristina, there is a list of things I hope to not have to deal w/ this time around...my top 3-in order:
Constipation
Charlie Horses
Indigestion/heartburn

Happy Gestating! :)

I just had my second baby 2 1/2 weeks ago and I couldnt be happier. This is our last baby so I tried really hard to enjoy all that pregnancy has to offer because I wont ever experience it again but there were definitely symptoms that I could have done without. I carried this baby very low and had horrible pains and pressure 'down there' from about 20 weeks on. The restless leg syndrome had me doing the running man everynight in bed. I had the worst time getting to sleep every night because as soon as I would get into bed and get settled my back would start spazzing. I also had a really hard time getting around with my toddler which was a symptom that I wasnt faced with when I was pregnant with her, obviously =). Otherwise I was actually very fortunate and lucky to have had what my OB termed 'textbook babies'
Good Luck and Congrats

I always had the annoyance with the Braxton Hicks too and then the hip and back pain. It was not SO bad but always probing, drove me crazy. I also get tired of feeding my face all the time, get up, sit down, eat, get up, sit down, eat.

I think that is it!

My hip popping in and out of joint when I walk. Yay for SPD and all the painful movements that come with it.
