I have had the worst day today! I feel like a baby! I just want to eat then sleep! Timing is off as kids go back to school tomorrow so was supposed to be doing all of the final bits and bobs of getting them organized. But if I'm awake I'm sick and headachey. So eating and sleeping my Sunday away is my reality.
Had a scare today. I work ob/gyn and since I had a miscarriage in June I am more than versed in pregnancy doom and today I thought I had another miscarriage. I had an ultrasound last week at 8 weeks due to light spotting and it was normal no SCH or issues. Today I felt a gush and looked down and I was bleeding a ton! Happens that way in June as well. Went to er and had a scan and sure enough baby was fine! I saw it moving around too. I still have no answer as to where that amount of blood came from but for tonight I am relieved.
Ok guys...sorry in advance for the TMI topic but I'm desperate for relief! So this is my first pregnancy and I'm so constipated I might cry. (no one tells you about this stuff I swear!) I have been using metimucil multiple times a day and stool softener but no relief..I need to poop people!.... Again sorry for TMI...but does anyone have any tips? Thank you in advance!
Oh, girl. I am right there with you. Today I drank a gallon of water, but nada.
Anyone else having a diffucult time falling asleep? It started at a week ago and now I'm into week 7 and can't seem to sleep at night. I'm not napping during the day and I've cut out caffeine altogether. Suggestions?
I wonder if anyone else has SUPER chapped lips - ALL THE TIME! They definitely got bigger lmao Not a bad thing but going through lip balm like CRAZY
My lips are usually chapped to some degree anyway, but I will say lip balm actually dries out your lips. Try using coconut oil, or olive oil a few times a day. Chapped lips are usually a sign of dehydration, so remember to drink for two as well!
I'm actually losing weight, and I'm not sure what to do about it? I've lost three lbs this month, but was overweight at the start of the pregnancy... Should I be worried? (Waiting for Medicaid card to come in to schedule Dr appointment)
@Knottie9983816 FWIW, I lost 13# 1st tri with my son, no MS or anything either. Was about 20# overweight at that time. MD was not concerned. As long as you're getting proper nutrients and hydration, I wouldn't worry about it.
Who is taking Unisom and B6? How much? Just once a day? I started a few days ago and my nausea is definitely better in the morning, but by the early afternoon I feel awful again. I am taking half a Unisom (12.5 mg) and half a B6 (50 mg) around 8:30 each night. Wondering if I should try taking a quarter of each twice a day instead? uhhhhh I am over this sickness!

My midwife said to take a half b6 in the morning if I was still nauseous. FWIW, I'm on diclegis now. I'm not puking anymore, but still get waves of nausea. Come one 2nd Tri!
I am so irritable! My temper is so short these days. I'm snapping at everyone and don't even feel bad about it. Anybody else turn into the hulk?
Me me me!!!! I get annoyed so easy (my poor husband) and needed to walk away twice today at the store because I was .02 seconds from snapping at the cashier just for talking and annoying me. Oops.
Is anyone noticing their morning sickness letting up? If so, at how many weeks? Having all day and night sickness this time. Can't remember from my last when I got some relief.
I'm almost 10 weeks and have noticed a big improvement. I'm no longer throwing up. I still get nauseous when I'm hungry and still have a lot of food aversions but I'm actually starting to crave more healthy foods which is a welcome break from the Mac and cheese and toast with butter I've been living off of! I'm cautiously optimistic as I've experienced MS coming and going but, overall, it does feel like I might be through the worst #knockonwood. I hope you start to feel better soon too!!!!
My mouth feels terrible, awful taste, I understand the pickles craving now as I feel like I need to suck a pickles onion to make the taste and feeling go away.
How far along are you? I had a terrible metallic taste in my mouth from maybe week 6-8. Even the foods I would crave would taste weird when I actually ate them!
I'm wondering if anyone else on here is dealing with OHSS? My ovaries feel like they are on the verge of exploding into a million pieces. I swear I can *feel* me right ovary just pulsating angrily. I had my first ultrasound on Friday (6w2d) and everything was good--heartbeat, placement, measurement--but my RE did mention that my ovaries are gigantic. My free fluid is almost all gone--thank you cabergloline--but when I sneeze or move too quickly, I feel it all in my ovaries.
I too was fortunate enough to have OHSS. Fluid is gone and I've lost all of the extra weight I've gained. At 7w2d my ovaries still measured about 7×8 cm. Give it time and it will get better! I am just thankful I can sleep on my side again!
I've seen people talk about ligament pain, I'm not sure if that's what I'm feeling. I feel like I have cramps ALL down my right side (shoulder, boob, lower back, ovary, hip). Is that RLP?
I am so glad I found this. Second pregnancy, first child hopefully. I didn't have any symptoms other than bloating the first time around so this is a learning experience this time. Nausea, vomiting, aversion to all food, round ligament pain, cramping, gas pain, burping ALL the time, and sore boobs. I have it all and I'm glad I'm not alone. Please let these symptoms go away in the second trimester. I want to enjoy eating again.

So 8 weeks and 3 days and now have a little heavy feeling in my pelvis which feels nice and reassuring. Like I can feel there is a little bean growing and not just horrible symptoms. Anyone else now feeling this?

The nausea started last week, but it really hit the fan last night. I seriously felt like I was back in college and had the spins from drinking too much. TERRIBLE. For some reason, I always thought the sickness would just happen in the morning. NOPE. Nighttime is the pits.
I can feel my heart pounding. Every time I lay down since yesterday it feels like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. Is this normal? I'm 7w5d with my first, and I'm pregnant with twins.
Been a long morning...... I am 8 weeks 1 day today and woke up to some spotting. Mostly brownish but some red too. No cramping. Major nausea too. This is my first pregnancy. I told myself it was normal but after hours of laying in bed waiting for the doctors office to open it suddenly doesn't become normal in your head. My husband and I finally talked to the nurse around 10 am and they are having us come in for an ultrasound in an hour from now. The spotting has since dried up and I feel optimistic going into it. DH and I had intercourse Saturday night so over 2 days before the spotting. DH seems to think this is what caused it. I will also be getting a rhogram shot today since I am RH - and DH is RH +. We are leaving here in a few minutes to the doctor- praying everything is okay in there.
Wow I can't believe that! Me too! I've noticed it more after I eat larger meals. When I eat smaller meals, more frequently, it seems to help. Good luck
Anyone else not really tired? I still have to be asleep by 10, I usually can't keep my eyes open after that. But during the day I am not really tired at all (I teach so I couldn't nap snyways).
This morning I had some spotting at 8w1d mostly brown and no cramps. We went in for an ultrasound (the first one) and the sac measured 6.5 weeks the tech said. Heartbeat was 107. I have very regular periods and got my BFP on August 4. Which I think is too early for being 6.5 wks.Does this seem ok? I guess I'm nervous because according to when I got my BFP I feel I should be 8 weeks. The doctor didn't come talk to me- just the nurse. She said the doc said everything looked fine and no blood in the sac and I should come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound. I didn't mention when I got my BFP and now I'm kicking myself for it. Any thoughts? This is my first pregnancy and I'm super nervous and don't know what to think now.
@tennisbabymama when you got your positive test, how faint/dark was it? Was it an early response test? If you got a + test two weeks past ovulation, that would put you right at 7ish weeks now, so that definitely seems possible to me! Dating ultrasounds aren't always perfectly precise, either. I think there's still a good chance that everything is fine... but I'm sure the next two weeks will be tough waiting it out. Hoping everything is okay! And remember that a little spotting can be normal. I had some spotting with my first pregnancy and everything was fine. Try not to stress, but definitely call your doctor if you notice anything weird!

@pinottoparenthood My August 4 + was faint then the next morning I had a positive on a digital and until my missed period and after until I stopped testing, the lines only got darker. My last period began on July 14. I don't temp but I had a + on an OPK July 24 and DH and I didn't have intercourse after July 26 until my + test since he was out of town. So, I don't know. If I was 3 weeks when I got my + digital test I would be where I thought I was at 8 weeks. But in response to your question, the tests I used was a clear blue digital and first response. I had my + at 9 days past conception (since I know I couldn't have conceived long past July 26)
