Re: Symptom Thread

  • Warning TMI: I still have last nights bout of ms flavor stuck in my mouth and nose. I've tried everything and I can't get rid of it. I feel so gross.
  • For some reason, water suddenly tastes gross to me. I've been drinking a lot of it, but yesterday woke up and it just tasted wrong. So weird.
  • Loading the player...
  • @kmvisioli That happened to me at around 12 weeks. I started adding a lot of lemon to my water and it helped. Now when I drink it plain, it tastes normal.

    I thought I was lucky because I didn't have any boob pain. Jokes on me. It began this week and it feels like hell.

  • @alexandria22489‌ thanks for the tip! I bought some Crystal Light powder to help me keep drinking it, which has helped a little, but I'd rather stick with something natural like lemon. Will give it a try :)
  • I've started swelling in my fingers and feet, only on the left though. It's really weird. My shoe feels so tight and my rings are not comfortable. Also, the back pain is driving me effing nuts.

  • @jordanbohr‌ are you drinking enough water?
  • @FLFishOutOfWater‌ it's so sad that it's ruining food for us. I don't think I can look at pizza the same way, and that makes me cry ugly pregnant tears because pizza is a way of life.
  • Once a day, I usually get an "unquenchable" hunger. I'll eat a normal size lunch or dinner and then feel like I am hungrier than when I started eating. Makes it torture trying to eat a normal, healthy amount!

    That's all I drink other than my coffee. I started increasing it about 2 weeks ago, because I read that it can help with cramping. I got kind of "sick" from something I ate last night though, so I'm hoping the swelling goes down as I'm able to hydrate myself more today. Thanks!

  • I cannot find a comfortable sleeping position. I started feeling like I was squishing the baby about a week ago when I would lay on my stomach, and that was my go-to position.
    One positive is that my all-day queasiness and most of my aversions are gone! So I get to eat, which I've been enjoying.
    Unfortunately, migraines. Enough said.
  • Ever hiccup and burp at the same time? It's becoming a frequent occurrence with this pregnancy. I'm happy to have second trimester energy, but I still feel like I get rundown really easily.

    I did discover a way last night to make sleeping on my back more comfortable by placing a pillow under the backs of my upper legs. I know I can't sleep on my back forever (and I usually end up on my side at various points in the night), but I hope I can milk it for a couple more weeks.

    I had that problem for the 1st tri, I won't consume artificial sweeteners, so I wouldn't use crystal light etc. But I found a squeeze bottle that Vitamin Water makes that's sweetened with stevia. That was my go-to along with lots of lemons.


    The past few days I feel like my hips are trying to rip me apart. They hurt SO bad!

  • @Michelgesen‌ ms is triggered for me every time I brush my teeth too. What's up with that? It's a sad circle: vomit, brush teeth because of vomit, vomit again. It's getting ridiculous.
  • I have still got ms, some back/joint pain. I second you all about energy, all my books tell me how much energy I should be having now, and how I should use it before I get exhausted again. It is making me so mad!

  • Still having minor nausea, but now it's only once a day in the mid-late afternoon. I went from being suuuuper tired, to having normal energy and now I'm back to crashing at 4pm. Last week I was in bed between 8-9pm all week.

  • My HG is starting to get better and become more like an evening sickness. However, last weeks dr appt, my urine sample showed I have a UTi. So I'm on antibiotics. It's making me so sick throughout the day. The only time I feel decent is waking up in bed drug free. Went from progressing to regressing. Sigh. 2 more days and the pills are done.
  • Hello everyone, my name is shana,Ian a ftm and I'm new to this app but I like it so far. I am fourteen weeks and four days along. So far for symptoms this week I've had sleeping issue's, round ligament pain, and I am always hungry. Also a little bit of headaches. Thank you ladys for your time.
  • Thanks for all the tips, ladies! Glad to know I'm not the only one with a weird water aversion. I tried some cucumber and mint in my water and it's like being at the spa :)

    ^^^THIS. So frustrating! Also, I have a few tiny stretch marks creeping up my hips already. WAAHH! Is there anything any of you have found that helps prevent them or at least be not as noticable?? I'm using shea butter but am open to try anything that might work better. As if an awkwardly changing body isn't enough to deal with emotionally. SMH.

  • Feeling a touch of the 2nd tri energy boost, I think. I'm also a week off of progesterone suppositories, so it could be the not feeling drowsy from meds too. Nausea has calmed down, only need zofran once a day or so instead of round the clock. Last few days I have felt the constant need to pee/ increased frequency. I think something is now squishing my bladder. Attention span has dwindled down to zero as well. Libido is back something fierce however.
  • Random dry heaves!?? Headaches :( back aches and the heartburn. So much heartburn -.-

  • @Michelgesen I get the whole gag reflex thing, never have had issues brushing my teeth (mainly tongue) but all the sudden it's happening. I am doing great at getting lots of water down a day, but I'm still suffering from the heat headaches. I have a feeling this is going to be something I deal with the entire pregnancy. So much for taking warm showers during the winter here in Utah, or baking cookies without having someone else take them out of the oven. I've started to have the lower back pain, but I have found that elevating my knees slightly definitely helps when I'm laying on my back. The flucuation in hunger sucks, especially since I have to pack my lunch and dinner because I stay at the fire station for 24-32 hour shifts. I don't want to over pack and be tempted to snack and I don't want to under pack b/c I get hangry. Well heres to week 17 and the second trimester, still loving this whole pregnancy thing.
  • I've been loving strawberry & orange slices in my water :)
  • I too am wondering where the hell this 2nd trimester energy is?! I feel like I'm 1st tri all over again. Also, holy heartburn!
  • For me, my first and second trimester are switched! My first trimester was great, I had no symptoms, never threw up, and had tons of energy. Now that I'm in my 2nd, I'm always tired and I get nauseas a lot more. The main thing I'm concerned about is when I'm hungry, everything sounds gross. I never want to eat anything because nothing sounds good. I force myself to eat because I know I have to. But I'd rather enjoy my food!

  • Definitely wishing for that 2nd tri energy if it exists! I just want to sit here and do nothing right now.

    I'm still pretty nausea and had to refill my Zofran pretty quickly. But now I can't even keep Zofran down whenever I do feel like I need to take it. However, the only times that I have thrown up is with Zofran in the past week, so I'm just so confused if I should just try to push through without it and pretend like I'm fine.

    If anyone is/was on Zofran when do you plan on stopping? Are you still on it off and on?

  • Still gagging when brushing my teeth. I would have vomited today if I had any food in my stomach :/
    Also lots of pressure in the hips and lower stomach area. I think the baby is growing along with my ute :)
    Also, I'm in love with potatoes. Still. Any kind will do

  • I have been getting ridiculous headaches, that tylenol is not touching. I am so tired of acne, and it's already getting hard to get comfortable at night.

  • Just when I think the vomiting is over it returns with a vengeance. I'm 19 weeks and still getting sick so I guess it's not going to end

    I am taking it when I feel nausea starting to rear its ugly head. Which for the past week has been once a day. Had a couple days here and there where two were needed. I lost 20lbs since becoming pregnant, my Dr suggested to refill and take as needed, for however long I need to.

    This. Exactly this. Except I've never actually thrown up when brushing my teeth. I ALWAYS gag and heave. It's getting really old.

    -------------------------------------------------

    I am still on the Zofran at 14.5 week. My doc told me to take it for as long as I needed to so at week 16 I'm going to try and see if I am stopping it. I tried one day last week to stop it and it just did not end well. I take it once first thing in the morning and if I'm really sick once at night.

    I picked week 16 to try because my OB Nurse told me that women who are sicker in the first trimester generally stay sicker longer and she didn't think I would start feeling better until week 16.
  • My symptoms, with their severity on a scale of 1-10:

    Hunger: 8 - I eat like a man.  No, really.  I eat like a fucking dude.  We went out to a nice Japanese dinner on Saturday night and I ate 6 California rolls, half order of chicken teriyaki, shrimp and veggie tempura, 1.5 bowls of rice, 2 bowls of soup, a bowl of salad, and I even ate the garnishes off the plate because they were smothered in sauce.  Basically I ate half of C's dinner, plus mine.  A few hours later I hit up the Wendy's drive-thru and ordered a double stack burger before grocery shopping.  What the fuck is wrong with me?!  I was so hungry at that point I moaned with pleasure while I ate it :\"> So embarrassing.

    Glass-cutting nipples: 8.5 - kind of looking like a porn star.

    Back and joint pain: 5 - hurts and it's noticeable but not interfering with my life.

    Frequent urination: 7.5 - It sucks because it wakes me up at least 3 times a night but I'm generally able to fall right back asleep when I get in bed.

    Baby bump: 3.5 - It's sort of there but people may think I'm just carrying my weight weird.

    That's about all that's going on with me thus far.  Mostly my hunger and boobs getting to me.

  • My voice sounds messed up - I feel like I warble and sound shaky like an old woman. Not the confident authoritative voice I usually try to pull out at work.

    At almost 15 weeks, I still need the zofran 2 times a day, some bad days 3 times. I have HG and I had it with my first pregnancy as well. I took zofran and phenegran during my entire pregnancy before, so I'm not sure when of if I will be able to stop. But I'm trying to stay hopeful.
