Hey Lyndeigh, it's getting better.... for some reason, the 2nd-to-3rd trimester transition was very drastic! I think I just needed to adjust my Natural Calm dosage to help with the C. Up until now, I can honestly say my IBS has stayed in check, and hasn't bothered me at all! But C tends to increase during the 3rd trimester even if you DON'T have IBS, so I'm not too surprised by it.

I'm finally able to tell the difference between "baby pressure" and "need to go to the bathroom pressure", so that's helping!

The gas has gotten a LOT better too, so I really think it must have been hormonally driven with the change in trimesters.

Luckily I work in an office (I'm an engineer) so I get up every half hour or so to walk around and/or go to the bathroom. Lately I've been thinking about taking a blanket into work so I can lay down on the floor once in awhile to stretch my back...!!

Are you feeling a lot of movement these days? Isn't it the coolest thing???

And your glucose test must be coming up soon....
