Let's keep our symptoms chat in one place and vent together!

2.  What are your symptoms lately?

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc.

1.  11 weeks

2.  My nausea has gotten a little bit better. It comes and goes throughout the day instead of being constant. I figure at 11 weeks this could be for legitimate reasons, so I'm not panicking. I've also started waking up at 4 or 5 am like many have mentioned. This is super unusual for me-I'm a very heavy sleeper-but so far I can usually fall asleep again. 

3.  Not really. I know I have less to complain about than most of you!

1. I'm 10w4d

2. The nausea has pretty much subsided completely. Yay!! Although I'm currently exhausted during the day and still need a daily nap. I sleep like crap during the night so that may also be the culprit. Either way, it's a vicious cycle and I can't wait for the insomnia to pass! It's too early to not be sleeping. 

3. Not much to add here. Hope everyone else starts feeling better soon.

1 I am 11 weels tomorrow

2 I am still feeling nauseated most of the time. I am so very tired. The insomnia is terrible. I have just over 1 week left on shots so I am hoping things settle after that. I started coughing again after the injection so I am waiting to hear back from the nurse. The constipation is worse. 

3 No rants. I know things could be worse but I really hope they get better soon.

1.  How many weeks are you? 8+5.  How is that all?  I can't help but feel like I got "cheated" when they moved my due date back a week at my appointment last week.

2.  What are your symptoms lately? Real talk: I've been feeling some intense pressure down low.  It feels like there's a water balloon sitting on top of my cervix.  It is not fun.  Other than that, nausea has been off and on.  I've had a few days of fatigue, but nothing really bad.  I didn't get to enjoy my vacation quite as much as I had hoped, but I still got out on the boat and got some sun.

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. I have absolutely no precedent to cause me to worry about the state of my cervix, but I watched too much Downton Abbey last year and now I'm all afraid that the pressure I'm feeling is caused by an incompetent cervix.  I know I'm just borrowing trouble and I'm trying to shut that down, but pregnancy makes me even more paranoid than usual.

1.  How many weeks are you? 9 weeks today

2.  What are your symptoms lately? Still super nauseous. I haven't thrown up yet, but it came pretty close yesterday. I'm also so tired and can barely get out of bed. Coming to work today was a struggle. 

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. My husband is driving me effing nuts. He keeps telling me I shouldn't just sit around and that if I would make an effort to go for a walk or something that I would feel better. I told him that I didn't know he was a doctor and that I feel like crap thankyouverymuch. Ugh.

@MonaLisaRalphio I had my EDD moved back almost a week too, and it sucked! I felt like I had to repeat time or got demoted or something. Hang in there!

fourPsinapod

1.  How many weeks are you? - 11w5d

2.  What are your symptoms lately? - nausea is calming down but exhaustion is still bad. Also I have no drive whatsoever. Sorry, DH. 

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. - I have a second interview with a job today! Hoping for the best.. 

Patience7150

1.  How many weeks are you? 9+5

2.  What are your symptoms lately? I have a serious case of the "I couldn't care less" and the "get away from me"s Exhaustion has hit a new level (sleeping 10+ hours/night + 1.5 hour naps)...which may be contributing to the previously mentioned attitude. Still no major nausea, but food aversion continues. In better news, I've grown 2 cup sizes already to DH isn't too impacted by the crankies. 

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. First Tri half day paid maternity leave...need it, want it, would make life a whole lot better. I know it looks like I'm doing nothing, but biologically, there's a lot going on here!  

Munchie2.0

1.  How many weeks are you?
9w

2.  What are your symptoms lately?
nausuea like clockwork starts around 2pm and last until around 8pm. 


3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. 

I also have zero interest in DH. Like don't even want to kiss him - I'm just so nausueated when he gets home I just can't bare to be near him.  I feel so bad because with DD we were still having sex and being super intimate  
i can't wait to start weaning from the progesterone and estrogen next week!!! 

Starfish113

1.  How many weeks are you? 8 weeks

2.  What are your symptoms lately? So much nausea. Some days are better than others which I'm thankful for because with DD every single day was bad. And I'm so constipated from zofran it's not even funny!

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. My vent is I just want to feel better and I'm miserable. I haven't seen my friends or eaten in weeks. I am sick of sips of water and crackers all day every day. Last time I threw up all day every day until 22 weeks (and was nauseous until 40) and I am just praying I don't get a repeat of that!!!

Gingersnap

8w. 
Had a fantastic Monday morning so far, diarrea AND dry heaving, gagging etc. Yay. 
I guess I'm the only person who gets the shits instead of constipation? 

CornchipLA

9 weeks 1 day

symptoms are moodiness, insomnia but then exhausted all day.   I have to rest after each task ( by task I mean prepping a meal or taking a shower) ugh

Rant.  My SO lives 400 miles away and keeps pushing his move date and I'm getting so frustrated and doubting him that with the hormones not fun.  

BlondePeanut

1. 8 weeks 4 days
2. some nausea, exhaustion, food cravings, sore boobs, growing pains, stuffy sinuses, some headaches, random dry skin and itchy bumps on and off (especially from this humidity lately)
3. just happy to finally be pregnant, worried about giving birth, but no real complaints

@Gingersnap Nope you are so not the only one, I have been getting bouts of the runs myself instead of constipation 

tclayton53

1.  How many weeks are you? 10+3

2.  What are your symptoms lately? Mild cramping, still exhausted 90% of the time and bloated. 

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. My 2 year old woke up at 4 am last night starving and crying (she was too excited to eat dinner last night since we were with her friends after a 2 week vacation). I took her to the kitchen and we sat on the floor together as she ate a banana. It was a funny, sweet moment but brought up my fears of never sleeping once the baby is born (DD never slept through the night until 10 months and I'm not ready to go through that again).

2.  What are your symptoms lately? Nausea, Headache and Fatigue continue to persist.  The new one is Vertigo and its killing me, I'm not even sure I can get myself home from work tonight.

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. How long until the second trimester?  It's supposed to be better then, right?

Girl, you are not alone. I had a doozy yesterday. DH thought I was making the noises with my mouth to be funny. 

1.  How many weeks are you? 11

2.  What are your symptoms lately? All I ever want to do is take a nap. Nausea has mostly gotten better, but last night I gagged on chicken, spit it out and it took every ounce of resolve I had not to puke. I think I'm done with that particular recipe for a while (all the other chickens have been fine).

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. Had some pink, then brown, cm over the weekend. I'd had some before, but it went away almost immediately. This lasted more than 24 hours, so I was concerned and called the OB today. Because I'm HR, they had me come in. Everything is FINE, and the little schmoop seems to be doing great. FX that everyone else's icky symptoms clear up with the dawn of the second trimester*. We're almost there!

2.  What are your symptoms lately?
Nausea nausea nausea. And tired. Which worsens the nausea. 
3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. 
Just so sick of being nauseated. Went to the bathroom at work today to cry about always feeling sick. It wasn't much of a cry-fest... I am too dehydrated to really get some good tears. Really sick of this. again, I am glad the Zofran lets me keep foods down, I know it could be worse, but I hate hating being pregnant.2nd and 3rd tri I am fat and happy, and I know I am almost there, but in the mean time. Screw m/s screw HG.I've told DH that I am done after this pregnancy, we always wanted 4 kids but I just can't do it. He bounces between not believing me and seeming a bit disappointed.

@peachesnbean Oy. Hugs, girl.

1.  How many weeks are you? 8wks 6days

2.  What are your symptoms lately? I was having some nausea but I'm taking half dosages of unisom and B6 and I feel completely normal now. Boobs are sore still but I'm used to that now.

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. A peer at work keeps asking me if I have to pee every hour.....ummmm yeah hi, that's none of your damn business.

That's the only Michael Bay movie I might willingly go to see. Never thought it would happen. 

1. 8 weeks
2. I feel like the nausea is easing up so I eat ALL THE THINGS, feel gross and sick for hours afterward, and then repeat the process the next day. It's lunacy. Apparently, I am completely incapable of self control. Or is it the instinct for self preservation I'm lacking? I'm an idiot.
3. I actually managed to clean my disgusting mess of a house yesterday, and expected my husband to throw a parade in my honor. He did thank me, but it felt like such a huge accomplishment, I wanted at least a handshake and maybe some confetti. And a congratulatory milkshake. Dude, I even MOPPED.

Partyof6?

1.  8w4d

2.  Nausea vs. So hungry I need to eat all the things. Tired.  Headache today all day.  Gagging on meds.  First trimester loveliness. 

3.  My husband isn't ready to tell our kids, but I want to tell them, partly so I can get them to do my bidding.   Mommy is cranky, and I need to eat something right now, fetch it child.   My kids are caretakers.   They spend all day with me, let them take care of me a little. 

foxrosy

1.  How many weeks are you? 11

2.  What are your symptoms lately? Fatigue, nausea, crying at every commercial on tv and still the constipation. 

3.  Vents, rants, questions, etc. Just praying second trimester brings energy, an appetite and regular bowel movements. 

becks13-2

How many weeks are you: 8 weeks

What are your symptoms lately? Really unpredictable nausea. It can't make up its mind whether it wants to happen in the morning, middle of the day, or evening. Every day is a crap shoot. Still feeling tired, but at this point that could be a side effect of my cold, not the baby.

Vents, rants, questions, etc. Aside from being b****y about this cold, it would be really nice if some people would lay off the teasing when they hear or see a screaming child. This mostly happens at work because that's where the most people know, but I always get, "oh, that's going to be YOU in nine months, so fun!" in this mocking sarcastic tone. I just want to snap and tell them of course I know that, I wouldn't have made the conscious decision to have a baby with my husband if I couldn't accept the "cons" along with the pros!

8 weeks tomorrow

i haven't had any symptoms and then today out of the blue I start cramping like I'm going to start my monthly, spotting, back ache.  Crazy thing is, this is about the time I would start.

i know it's normal to spot, but I'm so nervous. I have my ultrasound Wednesday and I won't see my dr until Aug 4th. Praying all is ok. 

Gingersnap

FX it's nothing!

8 weeks today

So so nauseous all the time. My sense of smell is making me extra sick too. Throwing up and dehydrated. No fun.

vent: I had my due date pushed to March 1. I was given Reglan for my nausea/vomiting, but looking at the black box warning and side effects, I am actually terrified to take it. But if my hydration doesn't get better, I will have to go get an IV at the ER. waaahh. There is a smell in my house that we can not locate. No one can smell anything except me, but it makes me gag/vomit every morning and as soon as I walk in after work. I literally walk around with tissue shoved up my nose 24/7 or smells make me sick. I am so much more miserable this time than my last pregnancy. Praying it goes away soon because it is completely depressing and ruining my life! I feel like I suck as a mom and wife and employee because it is such a struggle just to function.

Kenya715

11 weeks today

The nausea I thought was pretty much gone is back with a bit of a vengeance. Here's hoping it's only today and I feel better tomorrow. The constipation is horrible and I just wish I could get some relief. And just so exhausted. I would rather be sleeping than doing anything else.

Rave: I was able to eat a salad today! Finally! My food aversion has been to vegetables and it has just made me broken hearted because I love veggies. It was tough to get the salad but once I started eating, it was pretty awesome. FX it helps the constipation. 

Starfish113

@Rachelbd, I'd ask for something other than reglan. It doesn't even help the nausea, it just helps hold food in your stomach. I'd ask for either diclegis or zofran. Sorry you're so sick

smokey0427

1. 10w
2. Nausea has completely passed. I have minor fatigue, bloat and pretty severe acne popping up. Otherwise I really don't even feel pregnant l!
3. No rants. Just happy to be healthy, pregnant and feeling good!

UGH, YES.  I'm so tired of comments like this.  "You think you're tired now?  Imagine how tired you'll be once the baby gets here!'  "Your boobs hurt now?  Wait til you see what engorgement feels like!"  Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

penguinpants35

How far along: 10w, 6 days today

Symptoms: my boobs / nipples hurt SO much, I can no longer exercise every day

Rant/question: cannot figure out a good place to shop for larger, but ideally not hideous, maternity bras (original bra size is 34DDD)- would LOVE any recommendations I can get, so I can switch out of my uncomfortable underwire bras!!

Rachelbd

@starfish113 thanks for the info! I will definitely do that. She had mentioned Zofran if the reglan didn't work, so I'll call her today and see if she can send a script for that.  Hopefully it will help or I start feeling better soon!

Partyof6?

Just want to add here everything hurts and I am dying.   Last night's dinner tasted awesome but then led to puking, burping, gas and a really upset tummy.

BOO. I feel you. I had a gagging episode in a restaurant last night, in front of DH's friend and friend's new gf, who we were meeting for the first time. Luckily we'd already shared the news, but I had to come back (after bolting to the ladies' room and then sweating and shaking in the arms of DH, who had come to check on me) and explain that avocados are NOT my friend right now and that I was a silly, silly fool for trying to eat some like a gd human being. 

WinchesterGirl

My morning sickness has developed a split personality. One day, fine. The next, barely/not keeping the nausea pills down and feeling like death.

peachesnbean

Thanks @Vastra I am trying not to whine too much, but this just sucks.

I hope we all get to feeling better very very soon!

Whine on! That's what we're here for! 

kirstynikole

@gingersnap Nope I'm right there with ya, no constipation just the other. 

1.  9 weeks: But we've been measuring a week behind the last two weeks so probably more like 8 weeks. 

2.  Holy nausea & GI issues. When my stomach doesn't feel like it's gonna hurl, it is instead gurgling with gas & preparing to come out the other end. I don't know about any of y'all, but I am having severe nasal drainage which is exacerbating the damn nausea & GI issues. This happened with my last pregnancy too, so I can't say I'm surprised but thankfully the nausea/vomiting isn't as bad as it was with DS. 

3.  No rant, honestly just happy to be blessed with this pregnancy. Every day I'm nervous, but I'm keeping the mindset of "today I'm pregnant".

Very much this. Yesterday I felt great and even exercised for the first time since I got my bfp. I was so happy thinking I was going to start picking it back up daily again. Today is all the nausea and fatigue. At 11 weeks I know 2nd tri is in sight and I just can't wait.
