Pregnant chick problems, anyone?

CatLadyTX

Let's hear your pregnant chick problems!

I filled my 33oz bottle of water and now I have no idea where I put it.

The bathroom in my office building feels like it is MILESSSSSS away from my office... I probably walk an actual mile back and forth to the bathroom all day.

My clothes don't fit, I have pimples instead of "the glow", and I have permanent dark circles because I can't seem to sleep enough. I wanna be a cute pregnant chick.

CatLadyTX

@Jay_Cee‌ I look like I have the skin of a teenager. I begged my nurse to write me something when she sent in my zofran, she told me (with a smile) that I had to suck it up. Now I hate her.

Jay_Cee

It all clears up in a few weeks (normally). But it still sucks right now. I'd take 3rd tri over 1st tri any day.

CatLadyTX

I don't know if I would go that far.

Yep, my skin is absolutely awful too. I wash my face at night and wake up feeling disgusting. Missing my stronger cleansers!

I literally want to wear a disclaimer that says I'm not fat. I'm just swollen and with child. My skin looks just so off. Like I look in the mirror and sigh. Top it off with the humidity and my hair and skin looks like I'm in middle school. Where's that glow, yo?

I hate having to hide my pregnancy from my coworkers. One of them eats microwave popcorn every day at lunch and it makes me want to vomit. Once she knows I hope she will choose an alternative lunch entrée.

@sugahcookie01‌ I'm also fluffy and we never had a problem finding DS on the Doppler.

EW. That stuff is so bad for you (her I mean). Maybe get there early one day and leave a huge bag of this on her desk, anonymously. Sam's sells a huge bag for under $5. https://skinnypop.com/ Maybe she will take the hint.

I can cry at nothing. LITERALLY nothing. I was standing in a line at the airport yesterday, not talking with anyone and no emotional prompts and my eyes teared up and throat swelled. I can't account for it!!

I miss being able to poop. I'd even settle with every other day. Sadz.

mommyAubs

Now that the nausea has subsided I'm still having diarrhea- constipation would be a nice alternative! I'm tired all day at work and have left early twice in the past 2 weeks my stomach is so upset! Hope I get a little more immunity from work after I tell them IM PG :-?

@catladytx Okay, that makes me feel better. I'm like a size 16, and I worry about it. Did you start doppler right away at like 8 weeks?

@Sugahcookie01 If you can't find the baby, please do not panic.  My doctor with my first pregnancy wouldn't even *try* to find the baby until 12 to 15 weeks because it's really hard to pick them up when they're that tiny... and he is a trained professional.  I had my friend's doppler, and I even had problems finding the baby at 25+ weeks sometimes. 

CatLadyTX

@sugahcookie01‌ I don't see my OB until 9, and she does a transvaginal, but I'm a size 20 and if I recall my next appointment was at 12 weeks last time. At that time she had no problem finding DS through my extra padding.

My house looks like a tornado went through it.  I have been going to sleep and waking up with the kids which means nothing is getting done around here.  I'm just so exhausted!

WanderingA

I was a happy, glowy, rested pregnant lady the first time around.

This time I look like I crawled out of a cave and am about to come after you with a dagger.

I miss sleep, I really miss headache meds, and everybody and everything is pissing me off. 

mrs&mrsk

I am super tired! I forget my water bottle in the bathroom too... And I hate my dr because even tho I've had 2 us I have no idea what anything means and I am so mad I have to go back to him again! Next week and make up another bs story for work. I want to graduate from the damn RE!!! He was also mean to me and asked me what I "wanted" my prog to be cause I was concerned it was 13 ... Now it's 9.8!!

I just ordered mine the other day. Since apparently "bleeding" is going to be a norm throughout pregnancy I dont know when I should be worried about it. My biggest question was will I be able to hear it with my size (16/18)... and all the advice I got was you will be fine. So we are in the same boat. Although I heard that HB can be hit or miss pre 12 weeks so be careful. 

jaztastic

Can I just say I feel nice and miserable today. The gas, the bloat, the hunger, the nausea, the pressure... its all making me feel like a ball of crap. lol My stomach is out of control today. 

kerrigrooves

same here, everything pisses me off or makes me cry.  Im hungry and nauseous and dont feel liek cooking, cleaning or taking care of myself or the house. my poor husband and toddler.

Oh man, I'm sorry! I had my first ultrasound with my RE last Wednesday. My last appointment with him is July 9th. I still haven't chosen an OB. If you have already had 2 ultrasounds, why is he still making you come back (is it the progesterone level)?

I think people at work are starting to count the number of times I go to the bathroom. Especially that one guy who's desk faces the lady's room door.

And I've developed bright red spots on the apples of my cheeks. I don't have them in the morning, but every day, right after lunch, like clockwork. Boom. Flaming cheeks.

Also, If a doctor isn't able to track down the HB on the doppler, I am sure they will order an U/S. Not that that doesn't allow for severe panic to set in...

cutiepie0104

I miss pooping on the regular too. Im struggling with staying awake during the day, and I cramp so bad at night I have a hard time sleeping. ;( Meh. 

mkrk227

My pants are unbuttoned.

I am really bad at making sure I get enough fluids. I'm the girl that can make a can of soda last the whole day at work. I just don't think about it and it's stressing me out, thinking I'm doing something awful.

mverity19

I went to Macy's today to get my husband a birthday gift and left my water tumbler in the store!! I was so upset!

kimb311

I have the eat 6 times a day thing down. I just missed the part about it being smaller portions! OOPS! :P

Oem617

I am so full/bloated. But I can't stop eating. WTH! I just feel like crap all the time.

HeyStVincent

I left my wallet at a presentation today in the radiology dept of the hospital where I'm doing clinical.  Didn't even miss it until I went to pay for parking when leaving the hospital today. WhompWhomp.

Erze

I hate eating so much, but it stops the nausea.

@lulu783, I am right there with you, and it seems like when I do have to go, I am literally trying to force it out.  sucks.  can we get back to pooping normally please...thanks...lol

hummingbird813

I feel ya!

SweetKari28

I don't think mine ever was consistent, I would say that i felt nausea 4 times or so within the 6wks. and now nothing really, its just the fatigue that is starting to kick in right now and feeling extremely bloated, especially after i eat. @hummingbird813

JessicaxLynn87

My only pregnancy complaint is how unbelievably bloated I am. I wouldn't care as much but I had just bought three bikini's days before I found out I was pregnant. Since I'm stubborn, I refuse to return them so I am going to suck it up and wear them all summer. I may make a sign for when we go to the beach that says "no I didn't eat too much, I'm just KTFU!"

clayjackson10

We're only a couple weeks into summer and I'm DYING for fall or winter. It's only 85 here today and my hot and cold flashes are miserable!

Ps. TMI alert: For all the poop comments, I put up with it for a week and finally bought Fiber Gummies! They work (I'm regulated) and don't cause a flood like laxatives.

Vanopynen

My boobs hurt and im bloated and cant poop....I just wanna scream that so thanks for being here lol I have been complaining to my husband but theres nothing he can do for me beside say uh huh and sorry hes run out of responses which I totally understand I probably sound like a whiny ass but agg all I want to do is wear sweatpants we have a family dinner tonight where were goimg to announce that were expecting wish I could show up in sweats and just let them figure it out lol but I have to find something nice to squeeze it all into and be uncomfortable for a couple hours while people hug and squeeze me more!

bclove87

I tried to wear jeans today... I lasted 10 minutes before the button came undone... 10 more minutes and I was in yoga pants. Hope I never have to wear real clothes this summer.
