What's everyone feeling like this week?

STM2017

7w3d, and morning sickness has gotten so much worse!!!!!!! I've thrown up 4x today Poor DS just keeps sitting next to me hugging the toilet with his pile of books wanting mommy to read to him. He's only 15 months so he has no idea what's wrong with me.

Ugh the nausea is driving me up the wall I wish I would just throw up! I can't drink coffee or tea anymore and tonight we went out to dinner and I wanted Steak Frites only to get overcome by the worst aversion nausea I had ever experienced... I love meat! I did not feel this way with DD and did I mention the bloat? I feel like a hippo...

KirstinH88

The bloat! And my boobs are still so sore. I'm starting to experience random bouts of nausea, usually when I've been up and about and not sitting, drinking water. But no vomiting yet. I never vomited with DS, so..who knows if it will ever come.

My boobs are sore and definitely getting bigger. DH has commented more than once and I've told him to not even think about it. That's the last thing on my mind. No vomiting yet, but still horrible stomachaches after eating.

5+5 , I want to cut my boobs off, bloat is ridiculous, the fatigue is much worse then anticipated, no sex drive, nausea if I get to hungry. Nothing horrendous but the signs are there! 

Omie_Wise

My motivation is back but I feel sick. I never work in my bed but I totally broke that rule today. Blah.

I'm having a lot of pain in my lower back.  I know it's things moving around, but I really don't remember it hurting like this.

7 weeks today and no nausea yet, so cautiously counting myself lucky so far haha. I am feeling a ton better the last 3 days! Only symptoms are acne (like whoaa my god) and meat aversion. Seriously, keep all the meat away from me. But, please, give me all the cookies haha

4+1 today. No symptoms other than cramping here and there.

First off, so sore

And thanks H for pointing out my expanding, darkening nipples.

I feel like my nausea has really ramped up in the last week, especially in the evenings. Ugh, no matter what/how much I eat at night I still feel awful, and it's even worse if I don't eat anything.  Also new this week is shortness of breath from really ridiculous things like climbing a single flight of stairs.  Yep... stairs are hard.


Other than those: acne, fatigue (napping in my car during lunch break FTW), sore boobs, food aversions. 

chelle087

@schef070911, I hear you on the shortness of breath. When I climb steps or work out I sound ridiculous!

Anyone else feel like they have days the symptoms are worse than others? Yesterday I was barely keeping it together in the cafeteria, bloat was bad, couldn't finish my breakfast, and I was super irritable. Today a room full of children eating popcorn shrimp didn't faze me, normal bloat, demolished my breakfast, and was less irritable than yesterday. I've done this before but what gives?

@housewifehobbyist GIF game on point girl!

Today, nausea really hit, but no throwing up. Sore/achy hips and lower back. Tingly/sensitive nipples. Tired, tired, tired. Also, has anyone experienced TMJ while pregnant? I grind my teeth and wear a night bite guard, but the past two days my jaw on the right side of my face has been sensitive and I feel like I need to pop it to make it feel better. I thought maybe it was an ear infection based on location, but it only bothers me when I open and close my mouth wide to eat.

Ekzerr

My chest feels tender but not in pain, kind of a weird sensation...fuller maybe? Starting to get bouts of nausea, and this is roughly the same time it came with DD...and so much bloat...

eta: and the exhaustion is killing me...I have 3 days left until my stats final and absolutely zero energy to study or even care about it...must remind myself it's a very important exam

M&Max

Ugh well so much for no substantial symptoms... It appears the food aversion has stepped right back into my life as it was for DS.  Last night DH and I went out to dinner and shared fajitas.  I took one bite, felt my stomach roll in disgust and then promptly sat there while he ate them alone.  Lame! With DS all that sounded good was pop tarts and ramen.  Can't wait to see what sounds good this time...

Jmp111

I spotted 2days ago and again this morning...no cramping out above average feelings...boobs hurt like hell, heartburn and fatigue...nurse said it's fine. First timer and first appointment not till next Thursday...anyone else spotted?????

nwshay

I spotted a couple of weeks ago @Jmp111 and everything was fine!

Jmp111

Ok...just trying to keep nerves in check, I asked a friend and she said it never happened to her...I know it may happen it's just nice to know that it really does happen to real ppl

mrsw0920

This week nausea has kicked in. No vomiting yet, but in the mornings I feel sick and food tastes terrible. I'm still fatigued, really sore boobs (the veins are showing more too), and extremely bloated at the the end of the day.

Yesterday (6weeks 3 days) the morning sickness that I know and hate came on. It is crazy how I was able to forget what it was really like with DD. I had to go to the dentist twice this week. Yesterday after my appointment I just couldn't bring myself to drive the 45 minutes home. I stopped at the mall and ate a bean burrito while I psyched myself out to get it over with. Yesterday had a BAD 7ish hours of nausea. Today has been the same, but much less intense nausea. With DD it was 24 hours a day sick for about 3.5 weeks. This one still comes and goes a bit. I am thankful for the breaks I get. But, I only expect it to get worse. How the hell did I function last time. I was going to school full time, working 25 hours a week and had a 25+ hour a week internship. This time I am home all day with DD and SIL and DH are there a lot to help me. And I still want to die. 

peachy0709

Super gross, I'm sorry, but is anyone dealing with discharge? It's mostly clearish, but I'm surprised I still have it.  I don't remember this from last time. 

KirstinH88

@kcasset YES!!! I do remember having it with DS, but don't remember it being so early.

mrsstuessy

ok, if we are being a little gross... does anyone else have super cloudy pee? That isn't what you mean by discharge is it? (how gross is the word discharge?)

My pee has been super cloudy and super dark, even though I'm drinking like a camel.  Normally I drink less than I have been and am almost clear.

chelle087

@Jmp111, I also had some spotting with my first. I was around 8 weeks.

It's SO GROSS and I wish I didn't have to even think about it.  That isn't what I meant, but I seem to remember having that with DD but so far not this time around.

I am! Doctor said today it's fine and could be because I'm not eating a lot. I gave a urine sample today so hopefully if there is anything wrong, they'll catch it. 

Missa0830

Oh man oh man- so freakin tired! Nauseous and no appetite, bloated! My SO has been great, making dinner while I nap
after work. We started saying #growingbabiesishard

STM2017

@mrsstuessy, yes to the cloudy pee. Not all of it, but spots of it if that makes sense...

Today I felt wonderful! Which of course scared the crap out of me. And then I had some bad cramps and lower back pain. So I've been nervous today. But...the nausea just came back within the last half hour or so, so i'm oddly feeling better haha

@kcasset @KirstinH88 @mrsstuessy @TheJerilu

Both discharge and cloudy pee are symptoms I had throughout the 9 months with DD and they have been my constant companions with this little one too. With the discharge, I suggest pantiliners. I learned the hard way it can lead to yeast infections

Anyone else having trouble with vitamins? Originally I was taking a gummy multi + DHA + folic acid but then I couldn't stomach the gummy so I got a regular multi, but the multi makes me gag too, even when I divide it in three. I can take the folic acid and the DHA. I think I'm gonna look for a smaller multi--maybe one without calcium will be easier. 

Pinkpeonies

@catem07 I've been struggling to keep them down!  Recently I started taking them in the afternoon and I've found that it helps!

smallanimal

Symptoms on and off, bloating, tiredness, hunger and occasionally cramps; also lower back pain, and sorry for tmi, loose stool... i dont have any sore boobs or spots.  I am taking pregnacare plus another 400 mg folic acid, and I have been doing so since conception day actually. I wonder when the morning sickness will start?

The only thing I can stomach are kid's flintstones and my midwife said that's fine until I feel better.

Well mark one for the weirdo preg symptoms.  I have a wicked case of thrush mouth!! It's awful, so fuzzy and painful. I semi recall getting it with DD and I had a horrible time trying to get rid of it. Gag. 

Oh the nausea is a killer. This twin thing is no joke. And I spend my nights puking. Often waking from a dead sleep to run to vomit. And I'm such a violent pucker I popped a blood vessel in my eye. I'm a hot mess express these days. 

AND the out of breath thing, what's that all about??

Rileypie

@catem07 I take my prenatal with dinner. Helps to take it with food and later in the day. Also I have heard right before bed helps too. 

catem07

@Rileypie I actually get sicker as the day goes on. It's not actually what's in the vitamin that makes me gag, it's physically taking it because of the size/smell/shape. I'm just going to try a different vitamin. 

clickclackmoo

@catem07, I take the nature made, and they are in a small-ish (for a prenatal) gel cap. I tried a few last pregnancy before settling on this one. I hate burping up vitamins.
