@swhiddon33 I'm with you on the hoping for my sex drive back! Woke up last night from a sex dream and thought that meant it was back. Thought about waking up FI with a middle of the night surprise, but decided sleep sounded better. Haha. Guess it's not back yet =\ Poor FI.
My sex drive has increased, as have dirty dreams, but when we do it..I don't really enjoy it. It takes me so long now and half the time I never get there. Annoying.
My sex drive has returned, which DH is thankful for, but at the same time, not thankful for. He likes his sleep since he works a ton, and I tend to wake up a lot middle of the night trying to start something.
- Some heartburn - Headaches but probably more related to sinuses and allergies than anything else - Nonstop dreams...I love to dream, but right now I'd probably give a lot for a dreamless night (I think it's been over about 3 weeks since I've had one. - Fatigue, probably because I haven't slept through the night since I don't know when. - Over emotional, I tear up at the drop of a hat it seems this pregnancy (commercials, sappy stories, you name it).
Basically none, minus the fact that I swear I look about six months pregnant. It's like all my organs immediately shot upwards and gave me a giant belly already. Ugh. Funny enough, I'm still in my regular jeans (although when I sit down I unbutton the top button) and by this point last time I had already been in maternity pants for a few weeks. This is actually more due to the fact that I don't know where my maternity clothes are and haven't had time to look for them yet. I should probably get on that, these jeans are starting to feel a little tight.
Also I don't even want to know how much weight I've gained. It would probably make me cry. I only gained like 25 lbs with DS last time, I think I may already be approaching that. Stupid ravenous hunger.

16 w with twins. All things considered, it's pretty good. Lots of growth and stretching this week. I think my weight is the same as pre pregnancy, but I did loose some early on. I don't get on the scale. I have some numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes. I believe my hips have spread, which is super early. Having some more constant lightning crotch, low RLP or something else the past 24 hours. I'm tired, but I have a 3 year old and it's hot/humid summer in the south so activity seems much more exerting than it is.
@H4aPartyof5 dreams!!!! I had that with DD. ....never a decent nights sleep!!!
My constipation has actually gotten worse the past 2 weeks which has made for some lovely stomach aches for me. I've also been a lot more emotional the past few days....which I hate. Fatigue is lots better but I'm still stuck in lazy mode, so now I'm just awake not doing anything
I'm 17w2d, so far none of my symptoms have been bad on an individual level, but the little things are getting pretty annoying when they're all happening at once.
Fatigue - I guess it's better than it was in the first trimester, but still pretty tired
Weight - up about 5 pounds, mostly gained in the first 10 weeks (no morning sickness for me, thank goodness)
Itchy skin - mostly on my arms and legs
Dry eyes
Congestion
I'm having a ton of sex dreams (and other weird dreams), but not much sex drive in real life
Feel like I'm constantly on the verge of a yeast infection, which is one reason for the lack of libido - just not comfortable down there
Pee all the time...cramps when I pee...Pee volume getting less because I gotta go more often. Boo
Yes. My other symptoms now at 17w1d -peeing 2x a night -peeing as if I have a bad UTI. Going to call the midwife tomorrow -nausea and hypersmell is back. -constipation and hemroids also back -RLP after any cardio or walking
I got my maternity belt in the mail today and can't wait to use it.

17 +1 here. I have only thrown up once this week, no nausea at all throughout the day, so that's awesome! However, I still wake up in the morning feeling like I MIGHT still vomit if I don't eat soon. The difference being I don't actually vomit before I get to the food.
I've got some kicks happening! DH can't feel it yet though. RLP sucks and happens when I sneeze or roll over at night, or use my ab muscles to stabilize for getting off my butt.
I started about 10lbs up from last pregnancy but haven't really gained anything-I keep fluctuating from staying even and losing about 5lbs. I still don't feel like eating a lot of the things coupled with some throwing up over the last few weeks so I think that's keep me even.
And I have a belly now. I can't actually wear DS on my front anymore, gonna have to figure out how this ergo is supposed to be worn to the side or how to get him on my back when I'm the only one around.
15w 2d I am LOVING my energy levels! Back in the gym 5 days a week and active rest the other days with a 4 or 8 mile walk. Lightening crotch is the real deal and I cramp up in my legs if I sit on the couch too long. I've decided if I'm gonna be uncomfortable I might as well be moving! I realized I still can't look at chicken. I thought I could... But I can't. Lots of egg whites, fat free cottage cheese, meat, salmon and protein powder pancakes for me!! I think I am up about 2lbs total. Chugging water and peeing constantly. I have given up on going to dinner in denim because by the end I'm using my hair tie to keep my pants on- I only look pregnant at the end of the day! My boobs are huge- I have had to buy new sports bras because lululemon really only makes ones for girls will A/B. I bought a water infuser and Popsicle trays for summer mocktails/ green team and healthy fresh fruit Popsicles!! Happy summer and Sunday all!!
18 weeks tomorrow! So this morning my wonderful DH rolls over in bed and says "you know it's been a while since you've had morning sickness. It was really rough for me to see you go through that" seriously?!
Anyway Symptoms: -As DH said - no more MS!! Woohoo! -energy that comes and goes. One minute I will be buzzing and the next I am ready for a 2 hour nap. -NONSTOP GAS. Oh My God. I am burping and farting 24/7. I could easily get into a burping contest with middle schoolers and win. Also last night I woke up at like 2am with this terrible pain. I couldnt even move or talk. It was above my belly button and I was so scared something bad was happening and then all of a sudden I burped and felt 100x better.
Anyway 2nd trimester has been a breeze compared to the 1st.

I've lost 15 pounds from the day I got my BFP to now. My OB hasn't made any mention of it, I could've stood to lose a little weight were I not pregnant. My mom told me that she was the same way, she would lose weight 1st and 2nd tri and then gain it all back 3rd tri. Not sure if that kind of thing is genetic or not but it did make me feel better.
MS still going strong, I have really bad heartburn at night, and I have had the absolute worst gas pains the last few weeks. Also I've been emotional which is nothing new. The bloody noses I had been having are clearing up, finally.
Have you talked to your dr about Diclegis? Honestly the saving grace for me each morning was eating before I got out of bed and not moving. Our bed was covered in crumbs but it definitely helped.

@sammyl1221 Diclegis has actually made my MS worse! Not only did it make me throw up more, but I'm pretty sure it was causing me to have terrible reflux each time after I threw up. The reflux stopped when I stopped the Diclegis, but I've still been throwing up. I think for the most part I throw up when I'm running on an empty stomach, but I don't always "feel" hungry. I'm just eating lightly every 3-4 hours, usually I'll have an apple or crackers, just something not to let my tummy get empty. And most days that works, and then there are days where I do that and still throw up. I think it may be just one of those things I have to deal with, just hoping it goes away soon!
16 weeks and change and the doggone nausea is back. Had it under control with diclegis 3 times a day and last week dropped the afternoon one since I've been feeling better. Bleh. Bad decision. Also sooooo much rlp! I am in nearly constant pain. So sore.
Two of my least favorite symptoms from second tri with DS have reared their ugly heads this week... Cold sores, I'm on my third this week, and charlie horses. UGH.

Yup...I'm currently in the middle of attack of the cold sores. I have 4 distinct ones on one side of my lip! I think mine were from getting sunburnt. Hate them so much!
NOSEBLEEDS!..Driving me nuts, they make you feel light headed and the smell of the blood is just gross. Tossing and turning while sleeping.I haven't had a full night's rest in 4 months, but I plan on getting one of those pregnancy pillows (please send your recommendations!). I too am having crazy cramping while peeing, did not expect that at all. And I started showing this weekend, but it still looks more like bloat from a big meal lol.
@jenlynne0624 I know your charley horse pain. I haven't had any yet, but last time I'd get them nightly in 3rd tri, regardless of how many bananas I ate.
I haven't posted on this thread in a bit because I'm finally feeling so much better. -Nausea is about completely gone. I only feel mildly queasy if I'm super hungry-same as nonpregnant me. -energy is back up though it didn't take as much of a hit as with DD. -Relatively little RLP. Maybe I'm still all stretchy from last time.
I am feeling achier; however I was much more active this last week than I had been. Plus carrying DD on my chest for long periods brings all sorts of discomfort. I'm also getting periodic headaches, which is annoying. Otherwise, I'm in the eye of the storm, aka 2nd tri.
Re: Symptoms! 6/23
My jaw has been popping/clicking lately, not sure it has anything to do with pregnancy but it's never been an issue before.
- Some heartburn
- Headaches but probably more related to sinuses and allergies than anything else
- Nonstop dreams...I love to dream, but right now I'd probably give a lot for a dreamless night (I think it's been over about 3 weeks since I've had one.
- Fatigue, probably because I haven't slept through the night since I don't know when.
- Over emotional, I tear up at the drop of a hat it seems this pregnancy (commercials, sappy stories, you name it).
