Now with all of us in the 3rd trimester wanted to know what discomforts everyone has and what you all are doing to reduce them.

My list:
1)Swollen feet --Bought new shoes,keep them elevated,reduced salt still they don't disappear completely.They do not pain .

2)Swollen fingers--They pain in the morning when I getup from bed but after sometime the pain reduces.

3)Braxton Hicks-I get them more frequently and doctor said to drink more water.Already I drink so much water that i have to go to the restroom more often.
They are becoming more intense.When I get them I try the breating I learnt in Lamaze class...atleast I have something to practise my breathing :-)

4)Heartburn,acidity--This has been my constant companion for the last couple of weeks.So I started having plain and boiled food for dinner and it helped.


Anyone having any good recipe ideas for some nice and healthy food.

Ritu replied. Hi Nick ,
Here goes a list of my pregnancy woes !!
1) Backache .... I just lie flat on the bed when I get it or have a hot water shower .
2) Leg Cramps .... I get them at night when I am sleeping . This one really is bad , I get up put my foot on the floor and that gives me relief .

Take care
Ritu

I too have most of the symptoms. I was so happy that I didnt have swelling but it started to come now.
