Symptoms of the Week 11/28

Mtnmommy

I didn't see this yesterday, so I thought I'd start this today!

Let's hear it!

I went from being totally nauseous and tired to being ravenously hungry and irritable. I'll take the break from nausea, but I currently can't stand myself. 

How are you all feeling?

My lower back is killing me. My nausea is back after it being gone for an entire week. I thought I was getting some energy back but I think that was due to having a week off for Thanksgiving Break. But I finally heard the babies heart beat on my Doppler today. I cried. Seriously the most beautiful sound ever.

Headaches with two little ones this new development is NOT a good time

I was feeling prettyyyy good about my lower back pain being gone. Then I had to proctor a test today which entailed walking around a room for 3.5 hours and now I'm dying. My nausea has really died down. But I just increased my internship hours and that is taking a toll on me (I know. As a former/soon to be once again full time worker I want to shame me for complaining too)

headaches...  every.single.day. I'd rather go back to the nausea and fatigue... at least sleeping makes me happy. lol

Has anyone experience shooting pain in their groin? Or dull cramps? Or a feeling like your lower abdomen is being overstretched in a painful way? These have all come on the past few days for me (I am 14 weeks and FTM) and I am not sure what to make of it. Is this round ligament pain? Because I feel it even when I'm resting, although it comes and goes. So many new sensations I can't understand...

My newest symptom is a fuzzy brain feeling. It's so odd.  Like I feel like I have a slight headache and fuzzy feeling in my head.  My blood pressure was good today so im not sure what this is.

@Mashunya425 the shooting/over stretched pain sounds like RLP. This started for me too but so far just when I sneeze which unfortunatly is a lot bc of a cold.
Also with the swamp crotch. WTF I dont remember this so early last time?!

@Mashunya425 I had them with my first pregnancy. I believe it is RLP. I remember it really getting bad in the last trimester.

I'm also losing my mind. Today I grabbed a container of unflavored yogurt instead of leftover chili for lunch

New symptom- breaking out in hives. I cannot find any link as to why. Nothing I eat, wear, or put on is affecting it. It's completely random and super itchy. OB says it can be a result of hormone changes but it seems like a strange symptom.

If it makes you feel any better, at the grocery store I stared at the eggs for a good 10 minutes picking out the ones I wanted, I made my choice and then, instead of placing them in my cart I walked away and finished my shopping. 

Completely unrelated, I've been watching one cheesy Christmas Hallmark movie a night and crying my eyes out.

Diarrhea and stomach aches at night. And constant headache. Joy. And I have all day meetings the next two days at work that I have to be engaged during.

@kassyfry Same over here, to all of it. I'm so grumpy and unimpressed. 

My uterus is also huge inside my pelvis, not popping forward, and making my back and pelvis just ache. Want to sleep because head is pounding, uterus won't let me. I'm a ball of joy right now

I'm starting to feel like my balance is getting off. I tripped and fell (embarrassing...) while on a warm up jog this evening at my work out class, and then throughout the rest of the class, I just felt a bit off balance. Could be because I've been working out less lately, but it's somewhat uncomfortable either way!

I feel like my complete and utter exhaustion is fading away! I've been staying awake past 8:30pm and sleeping past 6am! That's a win.

i hate food, nothing sounds good. I'm starving!

Had to get out of bed to eat something at 230. My go to is currently canned pears. Any other late night snackers and what is your snack of choice?

berg

@Sbruins20 Yes to the hives!  I get hives almost every night.  I normally can remedy it with a hot shower.  I'm sure the cat who insists on sleeping three inches from my face with all four paws splayed across my body doesn't help.

I thought I was in the clear.  I had felt almost normal this past four days (11wks).  Then last night I coughed so hard I puked and this morning I woke up so exhausted, you'd think I stayed up until midnight and not 8:30.  I have to give training this morning to 60 people and all I want to do is sleep.

I've been experiencing exactly what you're describing. It started yesterday and is continuing this morning. I see my OB in 2 hours so I'll ask about it, but google is telling me it's round ligament pain and the uterus stretching. Apparently our babies go through a massive growth spurt at 13-14 weeks (I'm 13w 4d).

Mashunya425

@wifeinraleigh28 Yea it woke me up MULTIPLE times last night and the side of my groin was hurting regardless of what position I tried to sleep in. Had an appointment with my OB this morning and she confirmed round ligament pain and rapid expansion of the uterus. She said it is common in the 13-15 week period but should settle down. Recommended a warm compress.

wifeinraleigh28

@Mashunya425 Yep, my OB confirmed that I'm having round ligament pain too. I definitely feel relieved that it's normal. She said to just lie down and rest when I feel it and I can take Tylenol if I want.

@lizerspitz
so crazy I crave canned pears too!! Never really ate them before pregnancy lol

I don't really have any consistent symptoms (beside hunger) which is kind of odd to me at 10w4d, but I have been noticing more frequent tingling and letdown feeling in my breasts as if I were getting ready to nurse. So odd! I didn't have this with my DD so I'm assuming it's because this is #2? I woke up at 3am to pee and as soon as I sat up my boobs started tingling like crazy!
