I had to stop sleeping on my stomach at 12 weeks. It just didn't feel comfortable anymore and it almost made me feel queazy if that makes sense. I kept trying it out for a new nights and it just wasn't working. No big deal I have my best buddy snoogle so I deal with a nice curled up in ball position on my side all cozy. NOPE. As of last night I officially can't get away with that any more either. So I'm feeling all "Ricky Bobby: I don't know what to do with my hands" about sleeping right now. Every position I try out feels foreign and weird and I don't like it.

Have you tried putting the full loop under your head and the half loop between your legs so you're kind of somewhere between your side and your back, hips facing the side?That's how I slept most of the last half of last pregnancy. Just thought it might help if you haven't tried it yet.

I'm jealous of those of you who don't have a bump yet. I know it's exciting, especially the first pregnancy, but I am so pooched out and my organs feel so squished already. I keep picturing a depressingly accurate diagram I saw of abdominal muscles before and after pregnancy. I can almost feel them giving up haha.

My nausea is still around. Not as much but still there. I've only dry heaved 3 times in the last few days!!!!
My feet hurt ALL THE TIME!!! I assume this is normal but goodness gracious. It feels like my bones are trying to come out of my skin.
Also, I have this super awesome rash that has shown up 3 times since I got pregnant. It's only on the inside of my left elbow and kind of looks like poison but I know it isnt. Is this happening to anyone else?

Speaking of weird poops, I seriously thought I was dying when I went. I mean doubled over in tears worse pains of my life! Now that's it over I'm all rainbows and butterflies!! I know it's TMI but she started it :P

Headaches! Ugh, I think I need to drink more water.

Also, I hate hate HATE my maternity pants this go around. I've been rocking the hair elastic on my regular jeans, but it's getting excessive. I don't know what I'm going to do in the next few days, I'm basically walking all around town with my pants fully undone.

Rant over.

I do that all the time, with my belly band and a long tank top or one of my hubby's button downs. No one will ever know!

holy heartburn batman...so bad today and I haven't had anything that should trigger it since Saturday. Hope this isn't going to stick around. Guess this LO will have a bunch of hair too.

Same here! I love spicy food but have been avoiding it and what do I get...more heartburn and gas! Grr

I'm in the weird sleeping camp, both with insomnia and inability to sleep on my stomach cuz of the bump. Sleeping on my sides causes nausea. Which leaves me with my least favorite position...sleeping flat on my back. Probably why I'm an insomniac.

Went back to work today after 2 weeks off. I'm noticeably calmer and more tolerant than I was before Christmas.
Maybe the kids and I will all make it out of this pregnancy unscathed lol

My bump popped majorly this week and looking forward to HDBD pics. Still no movement. Thinking of creating an Anterior Placenta Check-In for all of us still waiting for movement due to AP.

I am starting to get my energy back which is great. I haven't felt much movement which is starting to worry me.  I am 18w4d and by this time with #2 was feeling  much more movement. I know every pregnancy is different but I can't help but worry. I have the usual visit with my OB on Thursday and then my A/S the following week and I am hoping everything is ok. 

Maybe too much TMI but the last two days I have had some really bloody stool freaked me the fuck out. I'll bring it up with my OB on Thursday. I am hoping it was just a hemorrhoid or something.

Insomnia was in full swing last night! I don't know who was more frustrated DH or me.

Pregnancy brain got me today. I was punching in my code to make a copy at work and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Turns out I put my parents street number in instead of my code. I even had my assistant come down with me to help me figure out what I was doing wrong. Always happy to provide a comedic moment for my office!

I have a bump! It's little but it's really there now!

The insomnia is the worst, every time I wake up or get up to pee during the night, DH wakes up in a panic thinking something's wrong. Poor guy!

I'm having what I'm guessing is BH .. Man it hurts . I don't remember these this early for any of the other ones. I hope it has nothing to do with my bleeding and hospital stay the other day .

Second time mom.  16.5 weeks.  No movement here.

Dull vagina pain though which is new.

That one's actually the opposite of usual pregnancy advice - as long as it's bright red, it's probably fine. Can be hemorrhoids or just a popped blood vessel or something. Or, if you're a Portlandia fan, it's beets.

I'm on day four of the flu, and the cough is not letting up. Doc has me taking robitussin for it, but I'm supposed to take it every four hours and it only lasts for three, plus it takes about half an hour to kick in. So I'm still having the cough til you puke jags in between doses. And every inch of me feels either bruised or swollen, so coughing is just torture now.

My sinuses are killing me, so I'm hoping that's not infected or something too. I've been icing my face, and that seems to help a bit. Anyway, don't get knocked up and then get the flu, is what I'm saying.

My bump is finally showing(18w3d) and I feel pokes a couple times a day. My appetite has sky rocketed and I can no longer sleep on my belly. I've had noooo sex drive all week(feel bad for the bf) but tomorrow is my anatomy scan! So excited! At NT scan the tech said most likely boy, I'm hoping that I can find out for sure.

Extremely moody today...my poor coworkers....

I'm starving and eating all the time, but I can't poop! It's a vicious cycle

VintageVixenMommy

For the first time in forever, I've had total bubble guts today.  At first I was relieved about it, but my tummy still feels so unsettled.

I'm almost wondering if it could have come on because of these damn compression hose I'm stuck wearing.  High on my stomach or folded down real low it's adding extra pressure which isn't comfortable.

16 weeks this week. Maybe MAYBE felt two flutters this week, but I can't get it to repeat, so I'm not one hundred percent. Doesn't feel like gas... But I wouldn't be able to tell for sure Also, heartburn is my new bud - I could do without.
I'm still in the not a bump but the regular clothes don't fit phase. I wore maternity pants to work and haven't felt so comfy in weeks. My husband just gasped and yelped Woah while I was getting ready for bed. When I asked him what was wrong he just pointed at my belly and said wow, it's round - yes honey, and it will get bigger! I'm hoping it means I'll pop sooner, if it's getting more noticeable.
