How are you feeling today?  Anything new to report?

Not feeling good. Went 2 days without puking and thought I was doing good. Then today came and I puked twice for the first time. It's like I'm being punished for having some good days.

I'm glad I'm not the only 13 weeker with this issue.

Thursday night was my last dose of diclesis. Friday I was fine. Saturday I was mostly fine until nighttime. Sunday I was a wreck- completely bedridden (or couch ridden) and I threw up twice. I did make it out to get a refill and today I'm alright (heartburn though, gahh!). 

This is supposed to be over around now, WTF! 

Oh and my digestive system hates me too.

I'm into my 12tg week and last night already uneasy tummy ended up puking on my vitamins when a B6 got stuck under my tongue. Today I feel like I was hit by a Mack truck cause I couldn't sleep well last night.

Knock on wood, but I've had 3 days with absolutely no cramping!  Since it's been constant since getting my BFP, I'm ecstatic to have none lol.  I finally feel like a human again!  If only I could stop peeing 3-4 times per night.....

Hi ladies,

In the same boat as a few of you.  I am almost 13 weeks and it's like a roller coaster for me.  Some days I feel great and just tire easier. The next day I am super nauseous, puking and wiped.  Never sure what I am going to wake up to, or what sets my nausea off.  Other than that just some gas and light cramping, but nothing too bad.  

On the plus side food cravings have started and I am kind of able to enjoy some food again.  Trying to get all my spicy food in before I get heartburn like I did with my first.  Bring me all the Buffalo Wings.

Cramping was way worse my first pregnancy.  I found keeping my water intake up helped, but know that's especially tough when puking or feeling sick.

I feel like I read this somewhere, but I can't remember for sure. Anyone having numbness in their hands? Over the past few weeks I've woke up several times with my hands number and tingling, like I slept with them under me, but I didn't. The feeling comes back pretty quickly, but it's weird.

I took my last dose of Diclegis last Tuesday.  Thursday morning, I woke up puking and thought it was morning sickness returning, but luckily (?? or unluckily) it was a stomach bug.  I was sick Thursday and Friday and exhausted Saturday, but started feeling relatively human yesterday.  Still pretty tired, but nausea is staying at bay unless I get hungry and at night.

I read about that in my "Your Best Pregnancy" book- the one that's written by physical therapists. Not uncommon, and certainly treatable. As your doc or check out the book at least. 

SouthernMama15

@DeansGirl14, thanks, I'll check it out. I vaguely remember this from my first pregnancy, but don't remember exactly when it happened, I feel like it was later on.

Today at work I started getting a lot of flashing light floaters in my vision field randomly. I usually have very low blood pressure, but have been SO hungry and had just started eating lunch. Dr. Google told me it was probably the beginning of a migraine so I turned off the overhead lights and got some coffee/Tylenol, which did help. 

My afternoon nausea was better (replaced by headache). DH is in Europe for the week and I am hoping my 4yo, 2yo and 15yo dog can do their best to sleep for mommy who gets up for work at 4:30. We haven't had a good track record lately

Nxy

@SouthernMama15 Yup! I had it with DD too. Mostly just the tips of a few of my fingers off and on at weird times during the day. It was very alarming when it happened the first time I was like am I having a heart attack or is it a stroke?!?!

SouthernMama15

@Nxy, yes! It's quite alarming the wake up to

BlackNYellow

My nausea and need to eat constantly is subsiding but all of this new blood volume is making my blood pressure tank. Like 90s/60s when I stand up too quickly or change positions. It felt super low all day today at work and I had to chug water and eat a handful of salty chips to feel like a human again. Anyone else deal with this during pregnancy (or non pregnant life)?

@donehue Good luck to you!! Hubby needs to send you to a spa or something when he's back.

They lied when they said it goes away after first tri. This is my 3rd and I've never had it disappear before 18ish weeks. And then I start puking again a few days before delivery. I am 13 weeks and still puking too. Still on max dosage of my 2 anti nausea meds and still puking once or twice a day. I go to the dr on Wednesday so hopefully it will be the last refill I need because that ish gets $$$$!

Heartburn has started to become a regular symptom.  My nausea and headaches haven't been quite as bad lately, but are still there.

OTmom3

Horrible headache today that won't go away despite Tylenol

LadyDi711

Middle of my 10th week and I'm feeling good - much better than the last few weeks. Food is enjoyable again with this exception of chicken. Raw or cooked, chicken has just grossed me out lately.

I don't know if this is pregnancy related or not, but my body keeps going through these waves of feeling freezing or I'm throwing off layers because I'm so hot. 

Knottie96400174

Thought I was done with all-day sickness but that was a false alarm. I don't actually like but I get watery mouth and gag throughout the day. I'm 11w3d and starting to get some cravings here and there, that's helping me to eat regularly so I am less-nauseous. I've been wanting to eat more veggies and fruit than I normally do. My breasts are still insanely sore some days--they even hurt when walking down stairs! I'm gassy after dinner and use the restroom all the time. Also diarrhea came back after being constpated for 3-4 days, now my stomach turns sour at least once a day. 2 more weeks of first tri! Ready to regain some energy and normal appetite!!!

@SouthernMama15 I had this with my first pregnancy and now with this one too.  I don't remember having it with my second.  It's pregnancy induced carpal tunnel.  I had a pretty bad case of it during my first pregnancy.  It started out getting a tingling feeling in my fingers at night, which went away pretty quickly.  It started happening more often and would last a little longer in the second trimester.  In the third trimester, the tingling happened often and eventually several of my fingers were numb 24/7.  I wore braces on my wrists at night and the last several weeks, I wore them all the time.  The feeling came back in my fingers almost immediately after I gave birth.  I'm really hoping that I don't have those issues again this time.

lyse01

@SouthernMama15 and others - that numbness happened to me this morning too. Pretty sure I am in fact sleeping weirdly, because I can't get pillows right while sleeping on my side. I'll keep an eye on it though to make sure it's not also at other times.

brookeelyse527

Headaches. Worse at night. Tylenol helps sometimes.. 

SouthernMama15

@lyse01, mine is so random.  Maybe around once a week.  It comes back quickly, so it's not a huge issue, but definitely weird. I'm also having a hard time getting comfortable on my side since I hurt my knee  (torn meniscus and cartilage).  

Nxy

Yea mine definitely wasn't as serious as @metsgirl18. While I suppose it would be classified as carpal tunnel it came and went sparingly and very rarely bothered me. What I've got now is exactly like it was before. The nerve pain I'm getting on the outside of my leg is way, way worse. Doc said it's not ciatic nerve but probably pregnancy related and would go away eventually. He said he'd send me to an acupuncturists but my insurance laughed so I've got to go to my primary care provider and get a referral to a physical therapist. 

littlebug2010

@SouthernMama15  I have had that as well, and I had no idea it could be a pregnancy symptom until you mentioned it!  I guess Ill be keeping an eye on that! 

I am in week 13 and constipation is real! Sorry if thats TMI, but holy crap! (HA). 

I also have this odd pain in my right hip.  I thought it might be related to above, but its not . . . I also read that it could be round ligament pain, but I dont know what that is supposed to feel like either.  All I know is that it hurts more when I am sitting, and I have to move around a bunch to keep from being in pain! Not cool body!

The city savings are so intense!!! I'm dreaming about food and find myself caught up in watch food porn (cooking videos) all the time. The kicker is that my intense cravings are for veggies. Fresh, steamed, sautéed or Stir-fried. I dream about them. 

Also, I'm feeling pressure around and above my pelvic bone and I got really excited that I'm actually starting to feel pregnant! Then I thought, yeah it's probably gas. From all the veggies. So there's that. 

Fatigue has gone way down!!! Woohoo!!! 

belmont1785

I definitely felt kicks tonight. It's early, but I'm POSITIVE THAT'S what it was. Felt just like last time. I'm all sorts of happy right now!

brookeelyse527

@belmont1785 no judgment here. I am almost 14 weeks and what I feel is exactly what I felt at 16 weeks with my first pregnancy...little taps and pokes. It is exciting! 

Mango517

One thing that really helped me get through constipation was chia seeds! They are crazy high in fiber and really help get things moving. I'd make a homemade chia drink using about a tablespoon of seeds mixed with hot water. Let that chill and mix with juice. I'd usually have it soak overnight in fridge and drink it the next day. Or you can get a bottle of Mama Chia drink at the supermarket.

Nosebleeds!  I never had this last time, but I have one every time I try to blow my nose that I now dread doing it. And the smell.  All day long I can smell the blood. 

SpotConlon

@taylormarie923 My right nostril always seems to be bloody. What is up with that?

szwill86

@littlebug2010 going on over 48 without pooping. I feel like Joey rn:

I usually go 1-2 times a day. I despise veggies as of now, so fiber one bars, metamucil, and lots of water were my go-to but apparently are not any longer. My bloat is OOC.

littlebug2010

@szwill86 good to know someone else in the same boat, but sorry about it all at the same time.  I feel like every time I do get to go, its a huge victory! I feel so great after, but man the in-between is rough! Also I love the gif! 

dallasmommy-2

I had been feeling a lot better recently, but woke up this morning so nauseous. At 10 w 3 days this is the first time that I have vomited and now I can't stop. I also have diarrhea. Yay for MS. I'm so thankful that my DH had the morning off today to help out with DS. 

imwithbaby

@dallasmommy I thought I wasn't ever going to actually vomit (just feel queasy all day), but then it started and I was pissed hah! I feel you. One time I started crying because I didn't want to throw up anymore and that made me throw up. Second trimester c'mon!

brookeelyse527

I can't for the life of me feel my uterus by palpating. All I can feel is my chub and abdominal muscles.
