Pregnancy symtoms! >:O

I have been having a fairly easy pregnancy (thank goodness)...now that the time is approaching, I am facing "common" symtoms that are driving me nuts!

I had this MAJOR leg cramp of all leg cramps two days ago! It hurt sooooo much that I couldn't even explain how it was like! It went off and I was in such pain trying to stretch it back to "normal". It finally went away, but before I knew it, the cramp CAME BACK!!!! I was making "ooo, ouch" sound that I actually woke Gary. :'( Now two days later, my right calf still hurts when I walk. I wonder if the pain would ever go away...and I am afraid the cramp will come back every night when I go to bed...

Talking about going to bed...it NO LONGER is relaxing and easy. Imagine putting not one, but TWO bowling balls on your tummy (all men SHOULD try this at home) and try to sleep that way. Can't sleep on my back, can't sleep on my right (circulation reason; if I do, my right arm got numbed), so I could only sleep on my left. It got so uncomfortable sometimes because of the weight of the bump and there was no way I could make myself comfy.

Then let's talk about the heartburn (Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)). Hormones cause the digestive system to slow down. The muscles that push food down the esophagus also move more slowly. In addition, the baby pushes on the stomach and sometimes forces stomach acid up into the esophagus. Sometimes when I drink a sip of water before going to bed, I could feel my food coming back up! Yuck, I know!

Not to mention the joint/pelvin/hip pain! Have you guys heard enough yet? That's right, so now go get your wife some flowers and treat her REALLY WELL!!!!!! And after you do that, please send a message to MY HUSBAND and tell him to do the same. ;)

PS If anyone got any tips on what to do about each symtom, please feel free to post your comment. :)
