Topic: "This Normally Doesn't Happen!"

Nzamorw

What's happened so far that "normally doesn't happen"?

For me, I get morning sickness while brushing my teeth in the morning. It sucks so much because throwing up makes me have to brush my teeth again and go through it all over again until the nausea eventually stops.

Ah!

What "normally doesn't happen" for you?

Not wanting to wear jeans because I'm bloated and uncomfortable.  I work in a casual place and jeans are the norm, but yoga pants are not which is what I want to wear.  I'm going out this weekend to buy leggings and over sized sweaters.

H squeezed my boob last night and I cried in pain.

That normally doesn't happen.

This! Except sometimes it's between 3am-6am...then I can't life by afternoon. My 12 hour shift yesterday was AWESOME after fighting to go back to sleep and finally giving up at 4am. Not to mention the dreams...they are crazy...last night I went to Chalene Johnsons (beachbody fitness trainer) house to tell her how much I adore her and how much she helped me...and she wasn't nice about me showing up., but she was hospitable because we had snacks. It was a horribly awkward dream, in which my high school BFF showed up and she was the pregnant one. Lol this stuff does not ordinarily happen! Lol

@jeweltoned : My sleeping patterns have changed and my bed has become more uncomfortable!!

LinzerBinzer

@JewelToned If someone shows up with snacks we should always be hospitable, right? Love it.

All of the above! And the gas.... Oh the gas. I can't hold in my farts anymore, crop dusting at work has become a real thing. It's awful.

JewelToned

@LinzerBinzer haha right?! I think I have a love affair with Doritos too because she had some and I highly doubt Chalene keeps Doritos in the house. Haha! But j was craving them yesterday! Lol

Tiredasfuck. I didn't really have the fatigue with my first two. This time, I could sleep all day! I have taken several naps this pregnancy (I hate napping) and go to sleep at 9 every night. I'm old.

My back hurts a lot and I can't get massages until 2nd trimester

Agreed. sometimes i make extra trips to the bathroom just to check. I need help.

My dog who is a 7lb chorkie, has began ONLY wanting to be on my belly. This is very strange as he isn't really a lapdog. He is more of a lay in the windowsill in the ray of sunlight dog. Its like he knows that there is something in there!!

jolydan

The "awake early" and " checking TP" too but the most significant one is my libido is totally non existent. I'm usually the one with higher libido but right now the idea of having sex makes me want to curl in bed and fall asleep

stillcozy

I currently can cry at the drop of a dime at anything. Stupid cheesy commercials and now the holiday ones are the worst haha I want to feel same again!

MrsBinPA

TMI:  Pooping is normally a real struggle for me.  I have to poop URGENTLY every morning and have had more days than not when I went twice.

Also totally on board with checking the TP obsessively, waking up between 3-4AM unable to go back to sleep, and the gas!

Dubs1978

My 2yo DD keeps trying to crawl between my legs and "hide there". Sorry kiddo - you cannot go back in - someone else is in there!

Yesss!!!! A thousand times yes!!!!

WinchestertoPittsburgh

The burping. DH looks at me sometimes and I feel SO ashamed.... but then he high fives me.  

Crystal520

My nipples hurt so bad and are always hard!!! It's like they can't get warm!!! 

Also get really hungry and then no appetite halfway through eating. Always thirsty!!!!!! Starting to feel bloated as well and gassy.

ButterMyBiscuit

The RAGE. So much RAGE!

yes! @jolydan , my sex drive is almost non-existant.

said8me

Ditto rage... especially after DH points out that I wasn't this crabby/snappy when I was pregnant with #1. /THROATPUNCH

addyplusone

I would have to agree with the low libido, the RAGE, and checking the TP.

Also feel so dehydrated!!

stillcozy

so glad other people check their tp too! I was starting to feel neurotic not anymore

OMG me too! I was complaining to DH about this. I wake up between 4:30-6am every morning even though I don't have to wake up that early for work. I'm tired but cannot fall back asleep until 2 hrs later. Then the alarm goes off and I don't want to get up. It's a vicious cycle.

Completely with you on crazy odd dreams.

Those of you checking TP...try a squatty-potty. Seriously, never had a better #2. A worthwhile purchase for any pregnant lady!

OMG YES!! I am going and buying one today. The constipation is a night mare!! Constipation is my thing. I have never had issues with that, but now it's like pellets!! I saw the squatty potty commercial and I started putting my feet up on the seat and it works sooooo well!! it helps with gas and solid eliminations.

I typically don't wake up drenched in sweat. But it looks like now I do.

Yep it's like a sauna under the sheets!! 

ijstarr28

Am I the only one that TP checked before? I thought you were supposed to just to make sure nothing weird was going on down there. I do it now with more purpose and scrutiny.

Nzamorw

ijstarr28 that's so creepy.

Omg the night sweating. I changed my pjs twice last night/early AM! Also, I've always eaten so heathy, but now I'm ok with pizza rolls and Pop tarts!

chanfa

ok so I am 6 weeks now and this is the first time I'm really feeling soreness in my boobs. Seriously, boobs should not feel like someone is constantly punching/pinching them!

FiancB

Up by 5, wanna go back to bed by 9... am. 

susykat77

This thread is so spot on. The waking early, the dreams, the gas but for me with constipation, the RAGE. Poor DH. If he even pretends to touch my boobs I go crazy.

This normally doesn't happen but I was walking down the street (in Rome) and saw a car covered in bird poop. I started gagging and then threw up mid stride and kept walking. So gross.
