Symptoms - 10/10

Re: Symptoms - 10/10

  • This is prob TMI, but over the last couple of days I feel like I'm not peeing nearly as much as I have been previously, even though I'm still drinking water like it's my job. Like, I'm hardly peeing at all throughout the day for the last couple of days. Anyone else have this??
    Yepp!! Me! I think I'm just retaining some extra fluids this week.  Been feeling more bloated and puffy.

    Second tri is supposed to be a relief from relentless peein!
    If you feel like your retaining water or bloating, bizarrely try drinking more water. 

    I'm also in the terrible heartburn camp. It rises slowly up my esophagus like jalapeno lava. It doesn't even hurt my chest, I feel it in my throat. :/

  • @Foersty You know what, I think my bladder has slowed down too. Incidentally, my belly is really starting to stick out! I'm chalking it up to water retention and the body using my fluid to its fullest potential (or something like that). 

    @Jilliants I recently bought Burt's Bees and have been using it all over my front. It's amazing!
  • @kjd291and @dubcompanion - That sounds like a good explanation. I was starting to wonder where all the water I was drinking was going!

  • RE not having to pee as often:

    In first tri, your uterus is stuck behind your pelvic bone. As it grows, it puts pressure on your bladder.
    Second tri, your uterus pops out from behind your pelvic bone and some of the pressure is relieved from your bladder until the baby gets big enough to start pushing on it again.

  • I didn't have to take any nausea meds this morning, and I have not felt nauseous at all. Also have taken two normal poops in the last tow days. I feel like I can take on the world!!

  • For anyone else experiencing itchy skin, my friend gave me this stuff as a gift and it feels SOO nice when you put it on! I've started using it everywhere that I'm worried about stretch marks (mostly because that's where I tend to be most dry)

  • I've been getting full quicker than normal this week and now....constipation. Just lovely. I'm not going to complain too much since I never had morning sickness or any other of the terrible first tri symptoms!

  • I discovered last night that my waist is gone. I haven't been this straight since the age of 12. Baby has definitely moved up!
  • @Happyhiker same!  I had to toss my bras in my "no-longer fits" bin and go with some larger band size because I was no longer able to breath comfortably!
  • Has anyone ever experienced TMJ or jaw pain during pregnancy? This has been happening to me on and off. It's not the worst symptom but it's weird! 
  • @babyisthenewblack it's not specific to my pregnancy, but I have TMJ, if it's really bothering you get fitted for a night guard by your dentist. They can be a little pricey with or without insurance, but it's so worth not having to deal with the pain in the morning!
  • @babyisthenewblack @jilliants I suffer from TMJ on and off, and it's definitely back with this pregnancy. I accidentally ground a filling out of my tooth a few weeks ago! I no longer had my night guard, so while I was home I bought a DIY mouth guard from the pharmacy section at target for $20. Instead of paying several hundred at that dentist.

  • Headaches... Ugh! Not sure if these are normal pregnancy headaches (which plagued me with DD), or if it's from the progesterone injections I started this week.

  • @minger86 I'm having horrible headaches too! I wake up with an excruciating one every morning at 5am. I chug water and Tylenol and put a heating pad on my forehead till it's time to get up. I'm worried that the amount of Tylenol and Sudafed I've been taking the last few weeks will not be good for the baby
  • @BaylieGirl that's awful. Mine have been pretty managable, so I've tried to avoid Tylenol as much as possible. But, yesterday, I waited so long to take it that the headache developed into horrible pounding and nausea. :(

  • This kid really loves the left side and is there pretty much all the time. This morning he was all bunched up on that side to the extent that my belly was sore to the touch over where he was. DS did this too. Must be the comfy side of the ute.

  • I have done nothing today. Seriously, nothing except finish a book. It has been wonderful, I don't even feel bad that I left my DH to tend to DD and cook dinner. I needed this day to regroup.
