Third trimester & feeling "clammy" and sleeping a lot...anyone else?

I've been feeling kind of clammy, like a cold sweat on my forehead, and sometimes a mild head ache ...sometimes knots in my stomch near my solar plexis,(just under the ribs), sore tight belly, like I can't put too much pressure on it...throbbing lower back pain, I've been sleeping a lot, like 12-14 hours a day some days...laying down a lot becasue of the exhaustion and lower back pain.

DH thinks it's mild food poisening, possibly some chicken sandwhiches we had a couple of days ago, that didn't "sit well" w/him...I'm thinking maybe early Braxton Hicks combined with mood swings? I have been overwelmed w/ "issues"...maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyone recognize these symtoms, or have similar ones?

I do/have all of the above. I sleep 12-14 hours a day as well. I am constatnly yawning from exhaustion, no matter how much I sleep. I wake up sweating no matter how cold it is. I leave all windows open because I sweat so much. It is so annoying. I don't ever sleep well either. I wake up every couple of hours I think that's why I sleep so long, if that makes sense. As for the knots in the stomach, I don't get that. I really don't think you have food poisoning. That would have affected you the next day, not a few days later.

I have trouble getting enough sleep. It don't matter if I've slept 6 hours or 12 hours. I still feel so tired and exausted throughout the day. I also have alot of braxton hicks, especially if I'm on my feet alot cleaning house or etc. Another thing I have is like charlie horses in my belly, they are killer and sometimes make me go to my knees. I think they are ligament pains. I have the sweats too. Everyone in the house will be cold and I'm sitting there with sweat running down my face. I think all this is normal though but if you are really concerned just check with your doctor, that is what they are there for.

I think we are just supposed to feel miserable when we get to the last part of pregnancy.
