Re: Symptoms Thread Week of 6/27
Caring for 3 kids 5 and under in early pregnancy is no joke. Running is my saving grace!!!
It it occurred to me in the middle of the night a couple nights ago that if this baby is born in February, my mom (who lives out of state and is a teacher) won't be able to come spend 2 weeks with me after the baby is born. All 3 of my kids are July babies, so she was able to come help out in a BIG way after they were each born. I had c-sections so that was a big help. Sure my husband can take off more work...but it's not the same as my mommy! Lol.
2. Any new symptoms this week? I spent most of the weekend in the bathroom with diarrhea. I'm not sure how normal/common this is. It's s little worrisome actually.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I have my first appointment with the OB on Friday, so I'm looking forward to that.

2. No new symptoms. My MS has actually been a bit less intense the last few days. It's definitely not gone, but there were a couple of days it was confined to the actual morning! I've found myself eating a lot more when it does hit, because it seems like it will let up only when I am in the process of actively eating. Breast pain and exhaustion can't stop, won't stop; those both got more intense this week.
3. I'm just so over the first trimester worry cycle of feeling like crap, feeling better, and then wondering if you feel better because something is wrong. It's mentally exhausting, and honestly I know I have no right to complain since this is my first pregnancy and so many others on the board are dealing with challenges that I am not facing. This was just a mini-vent and I won't complain any more.
2. Any new symptoms this week? - the headaches are so killer that they're making me puke which is horrible on top of the MS all day nausea.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? - I'm bummed bc my husband was supposed to come to the US follow up today but on his way out of the house said he has a meeting and might not make it. I told him about this 2 weeks ago. I know it's probably silly but after my loss, I really thought he would be excited enough to take a personal half day or something. Plus I'm really scared of every time I have to get an US bc I'm terrified something is going to be horribly wrong and if I would have known I was going to be alone, I would have asked my mom to come. It's too late now but I just hope he's able to leave work early enough.
2. Had my worst bout of nausea ever yesterday... I was sure I was going to puke in church, had to leave, and then laid up on the couch for a while. Still haven't actually hurled, but I'm sure that day is coming. I've read that there's a strong hereditary connection with regard to morning sickness, and my mom has said that she hardly ever got sick throughout any of her pregnancies, so I'm hoping I'll take after her there. Apart from a lack of vomiting, I've certainly had every other symptom in the book.
3. I'm with @Xstatic3333 on just feeling over the first trimeter. I have so freaking far to go, and I'm trying to enjoy these early days, but I just can't. I'm an emotional wreck. I'm absolutely sick with worry. And I wish I had known to expect this. I think maybe if I'd had a chance to steel myself a little, I'd be doing better.

2. Any new symptoms this week? Well I think I'm finally starting to experience symptoms! MS hit me pretty hard this morning but no puking yet. Really hoping my discomfort isn't obvious at work. I woke up last night with my boobs killing me, it seems to have settled down to a dull ache as of this morning so we'll see how that progresses this week.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? DH was kind of laughing at me b/c I've been kind of worried for having no symptoms and now that I feel pretty crappy this morning he was like and do you want to tell me why you wanted to be sick? But then he was very kind and comforting after.
Rave: We went out to the restaurant where we had our first date about 4 years ago (when I didn't even realize at first it was a date). It was fun to remissness about how things have changed now we're married and have a baby on the way!

2. Any new symptoms this week? I've been feeling a lot better this week. Less nausea but still tired and taking a nap a day. Even if it's parked in the car lol.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I've had a terrible dry cough for 2 weeks and I'm about to go mad. I've been sipping Lemon/honey tea but the taste of it makes me so nauseous that I can't get through half a cup. Ugh I'm hoping it passes soon!

2. Any new symptoms this week? Nausea has definitely intensified, but still all the basics. Sore boobs, exhausted, headaches, sneezing, and irritable.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? My hair has all of a sudden gotten ridiculously oily. I mean I can't go a day without washing or I look like I dipped my head in Crisco. Anyone have any suggestions for shampoo/conditioner that won't over-dry, but will get rid of this oily mess?

2. Any new symptoms this week? Nothing too crazy. The pain/uncomfortableness of laying on the right side has stopped, which is nice. Also, I think i'm waking up more in the middle of the night than I was a week ago.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? This sleepiness needs to end, stat!
**TW - MC**
@fourPsinapod - I hear you about being scared. I'm also pregnant after a loss and told my husband to plan to be at all appointments until we're into the 2nd trimester. I'm really nervous to go alone. Just try and remember that the likelihood of everything being fine is much higher than the likelihood that something is wrong. And hopefully he can make the next one!

2. Any new symptoms this week? Last night I started feeling very nauseous... let's see if that continues.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I am so excited about our first doctor appointment on July 8th, which also happens to be my birthday! My only rant is keeping this a secret.. weekly family dinners, festivals with friends, etc. are a bit tough with this secret. I want to tell!
2. Any new symptoms this week? Nausea hit me pretty hard this morning. The last couple of days I haven't felt well and then after my next meal feel better. This morning I gagged in the shower and then ate a little for breakfast and it started to subside. Guess I need to eat often to keep this at bay. Last time I was very sick for a very long time. Hoping to not have a repeat of that! Boobs are still a major problem...huge and sore!
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? My husband and I are discussing telling immediate family this weekend due to the beginning of ms and I'm not good at faking. Last time we wanted to wait until 12 weeks or at least 1st dr. appointment but the ms was too much. We'll see how this week goes.
2. I am really tired. I have aversions to certain foods but which foods seem to change constantly. I am feeling hopeful these will be my only symptoms of early pregnancy.
3. I don't have any terrible rants, things are going ok. I will say I am so ready to stop the many pills and shots and stop seeing the doctors at the fertility clinic. I have to travel so far there and back and the wait for the doctor is unbelievable. (It seems really disorganized) I will still wait when I see my own obgyn but at least he is much closer to home.
2. Any new symptoms this week? I'm so nauseous now, along with sore breasts and exhaustion. My symptoms keep coming and going. One day I feel great and the next is complete misery.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? My first appt isn't until 7/20 and I'm kind of mad/upset about it. Last time I was pregnant with DD they brought me in a 6 weeks. Now, they said they see patients between 8-10 weeks. It just makes me nervous.
2. Any new symptoms? All day nausea is here to stay. Plus all the others: sore boobs, tired, acne. I've also been grossing myself out just by thinking of gross things. Like thinking of eating something I don't like makes me want to hurl immediately.
2. Any new symptoms this week? I've noticed afternoon nausea kicks in around the time I need to have another snack- nothing too bad yet. I'm just constantly hungry, and with my previous pregnancy I don't remember being NEARLY this hungry this soon. At this rate, I'm just gonna start packing on the pounds and not caring because why not
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? Little rant- we told my in-laws and parents pretty much right when we found out because last pregnancy we were in another state and not able to tell them in person... Well, we told my everyone that we're not sharing with anyone else until we're further along, everyone said ok we won't tell. Tell me WHY my husband is getting text messages from all of his side of the family congratulating us? I mean I'm thrilled they're excited, but just very nervous being so early on.

3. Rant rave
I cant wait until my first ultrasound and apt wed june 29. With hcg number like 13dpo 315 and 15 dpo 690....wonder if its twins?
When I was diagnosed with HG my first baby, my Dr told me when I was having a particularly bad bought, to take 1 tablespoon of Gatorade uevery 5 minutes. Not enough to trigger vomiting (if youre lucky) but enough to help keep you less dehydrated

I'm so over this, guys. I feel sick and uncomfortable all day long. Headaches and the constant sensation that I'm going to throw up (the one right before you do) but never getting the relief of the after-puke.
I feel so guilty about the ugly thoughts I'm having, but this shit is for the birds and I'm an awful mom to my two other kids, one of which is a very hefty 18 month old.
Question for moms of both sexes -- were your pregnancy symptoms the same-ish, worse with one, or do you just feel like each pregnancy is different? I don't really have a preference, I'm just curious as to how much truth old wives tales hold.
Either way, it's good you're seeing your midwife today.

I will have to try the gatorade. I'm nervous to eat anything.
im pretty much constantly about to puke right now. I feel like such a crap mom but I'm tired and dizzy and just unmotivated for life.
Also my ass hurts so much from my shots. It's like I have two huge golf balls in the upper outer quadrant of my butt on both sides. My ass is bleeding profusely with each shot now. How are there 4 more weeks of this
2. Any new symptoms this week? Still tired at 2 every afternoon. I've also had some mild stretching pains.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I have my first appointment and ultrasound on Friday which will hopefully alleviate the concerns that inevitably accompany limited symptoms. It's hrs having the symptoms and mentally challenging not having them.
All I want to do ever is nap. Today's a "full commute" day (we recently moved about an hour and a half away from Work City, and before we can switch our jobs closer to home, I commute 2 days a week and we stay in the city the other 3. It's exhausting but not permanent) and I have already planned where to sit on the train for optimum nappage.
Nausea has gotten less frequent, but when it's bad it's REALLY bad. On Saturday at brunch I laughed while eating avocado (one of my aversions, but I eat it anyway because it's awesome for you) and started gagging. Luckily our companions know what's going on!
@MrsDramaK and @Xstatic3333, ditto protein as a possible fix. I find that if I have yogurt first thing in the morning, I not only feel less nauseated during the day, I have a better appetite for stuff I actually should be eating (aka not just Pop Chips all. the damn. time.)

Any new symptoms this week? Headache, sore books, nausea started kicking in today, exhaustion.
Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I'm ready to not feel so tired. We've started telling our immediate family.
Any new symptoms this week? I started feeling pressure in my uterus area yesterday. Besides that, the pulling type feelings and bloating continue intermittently.
Rants/raves/questions/discussions? I have a feeling it will be hard to balance working with a naturopath and an OB. They were already wanting me to do two different blood panels. Anyone else work with both?
Any new symptoms this week? Still super nauseous and tired.
Rants/raves/questions/discussions? Just can't wait until first ultrasound I'm very impatient!!

2. Any new symptoms this week? Heartburn already? Is that even possible? I also have been experiencing some sort of restless leg syndrome at night. It's absolutely infuriating to feel like you're going to jump out of your bones. I don't drink any caffeine after around noon so I don't know where it's coming from.
3. Rants/raves/questions/discussions? Rant - I turned in bed the other night and felt a STAB in my right groin area. Already. Fabulous. Thanks, ute.
