We're already halfway through February!
How far along are you and how are you feeling?

Almost out of the first trimester, whooohoo!  I'm starting to kick the indigestion/heartburn.  I've been sleeping like Rip Van Winkle, my husband is in absolute disbelief.  He complained to his mom who in turn said "well what do you expect, she's growing a baby in there".   

I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of 'this sucks, I can't function."

wyomama0427

10+1 also starting to kick the nausea/indigestion! The heartburn will probably stay forever though. I had it with my whole first pregnancy too
Still bloated and constipated. I haven't noticed too big of a change in y energy levels, a little more tired but not as bad as my first pregnancy. Then again I was working 12 hour shifts and switching from nights to days to nights so.... 
Not much else going on right now!

8 weeks, constant nausea and feeling sick and weak, wake up at night with bad hunger pangs and yes this indeed feels like the longest hangover I have ever had!

8+3. Can I complain again about being tired? I'm falling asleep driving to work now. Getting through the whole day sounds impossible. DH did order me a new mattress, though. The one we have is extra firm and I'm struggling to sleep on it. Hoping the new one will help when we get it. Also, the nausea is resurfacing, so that's fun.

10+4, last night when I went to the bathroom I had the slightest tinge of red blood in my discharge. I mean very tiny. This morning it's brown and a little bit more, but only slightly. I have only cramped once and it wasn't bad and it didn't last long. This is my fourth pregnancy, my first I miscarried twins at 8+5 and never spotted with my other two. I'm not sure if I should call my doctor or wait it out until my appointment on Wednesday. Anyone experience this?

My IBS, which I had before pregnancy, is rearing its ugly head today. I have more energy overall but still get exhausted quite quickly. Yesterday I fasted before receiving Holy Communion and by the time Mass was over, I almost keeled over from stupid blood sugar dropping. It had only been like 4 hours since I'd eaten. And of course, I couldn't eat a full meal before the fast because my tummy thought it was full with just a bit of yogurt and half a bagel. Now I need to get ready for a noon appointment and I'm still in the bathroom. 

seg6394

Ridiculously sick, vomiting 3x a day every.single.day. Since December. Feel like I'm dying. Diagnosed with hyperemesis and really praying that I don't suffer this entire pregnancy. I seriously feel like I can't take it anymore!

10+3

After meeting with MFM on Friday they gave me another ultrasound (I had a dating one a few weeks ago that she said I was measuring 4 days behind) and low and behold I am now measuring exactly with my LMP! I have also gained two pounds.  My appetite seems to be coming back and my nausea is mostly just at night.  I am still very tired starting mid afternoon and will fall asleep around 7:30 every night.  Other than that boobs are still getting bigger and are sore.  My rash I had developed last week is now mostly gone. 

wyomama0427

Has anyone had problems with their sacrum? My sacrum was rotated and locked in a bad position after DS. When I had my epidural it caused nerve damage in my left hip so that caused me severe pain during labor, but now it feels like my sacrum is going again and my right (strange it's not my left this time) sacroiliac joint is in pain. I need to find a chiropractor in the same town as my OB that will work with a pregnant lady. It's just not fun. I can't lay flat on my back in the floor because it makes my pelvis hurt so much sitting hurts too.

I am still having extreme nausea and heartburn which is killing me....but that seems like nothing now with the migraines I'm having. I have had an migraine with an aura for two days I want to bash my head into the wall

mrs_tacos

10+1 here today.

I feel like all I do is pee, sleep, burp, and eat (i.e.:crave sandwiches). New nausea medicine is keeping my nausea more under control than before, though it's still brutal until around 9am and after 8:30pm. Also, I have a manuscript due to my agent in April, and I am sooooooooo far behind in my edits because I just have no energy. Ugh. I just want to eat 70,000 sandwiches, and sleep for 7 years.

@gavzillaxo I've spotted on and off this whole time (I'm 11 weeks) different colors pink red brown different amounts but never what I would call heavy. I'd call your doc, just so they know and maybe they can ease your fears a little.  I've had a few ultra sounds all prefect and they couldn't find where the blood was from so I wouldn't worry yet though. Easier said then done however trust me I know

LaceyC1020

I feel like complete death today. I've been gagging since 12, but have a horrible fear of vomiting. I absolutely refuse to let it go there. I'm ok while I'm eating something, but I can't spend all day eating!!   It's been a rough day...

HollyGolightly09

10+4 

The nausea seems to be getting less terrible. Definitely still there, but not as bad. 

I feel like I'm on the verge of heartburn constantly, even taking Prilosec. 

Realllly wish I could just poop like a normal person. 

I've had a headache all afternoon/evening but feel like that could be from stress or not drinking enough. 

Had some cramping and thin brown discharge yesterday.

kelseyrayay

9 weeks tomorrow. I have a question! Has any mom experienced seizures while pregnant? I'm having some problems with my health and my dr thinks it could be seizure related. 

kleshelle

A little over 9 weeks, so so exhausted.. morning sickness is still here but not near as bad. are any moms feeling achey? My lower back/pelvis has been achey and down my legs. I wish I could sleep this month away.

still peeing all. the. time.
A lot less angry, getting more sappy.
I'm legit hungry 24/7. I'm hungry when I wake up to pee at 1:00am, I'm hungry after I eat.
My super sense of smell is driving me crazy. I wish I could just smell good things.
And im still tired.
the drool is still unreal. The other day, I drooled while talking to a coworker.

I feel like I'm getting my energy back (for now) and haven't been as nauseous (again, for now).  My brain is still total crap, though.  And every time I move, I get sharp RLP in my hips and lower abdomen.  I got a little light-headed yesterday and had to sit down for an hour, but I'm attributing that to throwing my son a birthday party on Saturday and maybe overdoing it.

I've had headaches nearly every day. It's been really rough and I'm trying not to damage my liver by taking Tylenol every single day.

still lots of nausea and fatigue. I'm taking unisom every night with B6 and it's messing with my sleep. You'd think it'd make me sleep better, but no. I accidentally skipped it one night and slept great! But had horrible nausea the entire day. So nausea trumps sleep.
im still having this horrible tailbone pain. Hurts to walk by the end of the day. 
Also, anyone still nursing? I think nursing is preventing my breasts from enlarging. Fine with me, but I haven't increased cup size yet. 

wyomama0427

@jessieR358 two things... @lahearn18 and I both ordered this butt pillow for tailbone pain on amazon it's on sale right now normally $90 but on sale for $27 right now! She says she loves it, mines still shipping but I'll let you know when I get it if it helps!!!
Also, yes I'm still nursing. My nipples are on fire when I nurse but I haven't grown either cup wise. I did get an awesome maternity/nursing bra. I loooove it. Super comfy. And I got it at Walmart lol!

wyomama0427

Wow that was so repetitive with the whole on sale on sale thing lol

mamamoo10

7 weeks and 4 days. I'm Nauseous all.the.time. Tired, just so so tired. I've had diarrhea since around week 4. This pregnancy is basically kicking my butt. lol 

JNR6510

9+4 and I feel like death. Fatigue, nausea, migraines, and sinus issues are killing me. I would just like to actually sleep through one night this week. Between my sinuses and migraines I haven't slept for more than 3 hours at a time in the last week and a half.

labby18

9 + 2days. I am just tired all.the.time. Nausea is at night, but sometimes it creeps in during the day if I take too long to eat. But it is SO bad at night. Acne seems to be lighting up thank goodness - i started using an alcohol free toner to help out. Otherwise I am just sappy and have been getting upset over little things and crying a lot. Can the next 3 weeks hurry up so DH can come home and we can have our next appointment, and be almost done with 1st trimester blahh!?!?

so nauseous! I spent all last night gagging. Then the nausea was so bad it woke me up around midnight. Finally asked the dr for diclegis but of course insurance is denying it for needing a prior authorization so now I have to wait for the dr and the insurance company to communicate. And then it still might not even be covered and cost me $230 for a 2 week supply. I'll try b6 and unisom at that point

For the last week or so I have started getting these weird twinges/shootings pains in my vagina, like the vaginal walls, lol sorry for the visual.  They aren't bad or super painful.  They come and go only lasting for a few seconds here and there, some days not many, others more frequent.

Googling tells me liaments stretching but can these pains be felt in the actual vagina?  Google also freaked me out and said maybe a weak cervix.  I have an appointment in a week and plan to ask my midwife,  but anyone experiencing anything like this?

HollyGolightly09

@ashley2824  There was a coupon for diclegis that was posted somewhere... @LaceyC1020 wasn't it you that used it? 

LaceyC1020

@HollyGolightly09 and @ashley2824 Yes! I did use the coupon from the diclegis website! Brought it from $350 down to $40!

Cats*in*space

@ellemnop90 I've been having the same thing for about 2 weeks.  8+6 it all kinda feels like cervix, vagina, but everything is so close down there, it's most likely just ute pains.

ellemnop90

@jmn1985 I know, when trying to google it (which I totally shouldn't) I couldn't even pinpoint the location to ask about lol!  I'll just keep telling myself it's normal!

Well I see patients in my office all day long so I'd be so embarrassed to have a butt pillow lol. However, it may get so extreme that I don't care. It was shooting pain this evening when I tried to move from the chair after dinner.

8 weeks exactly over here. Slowly dying of chapped lips, excess saliva, constant nausea, gagging, and vomiting a minimum of 2x a day. I'm on diclegis and zofran but limit the zofran to 1x/day. I've lost 10 lbs in just over 2 weeks. I seriously miss food but have such intense food aversions. Seeing recipe videos on fb makes me gag. 

By the end of first tri I should be down to my birth weight

I had to use the Boppy after delivery because I broke/dislocated/fucked up my tailbone and worked wonderfully until I healed! Lol

wyomama0427

I tried using a boppy and it didn't work! Lol! But I've got problems with more than just my tailbone too though

I feel for all of you, especially those of you still feeling nausea.  I thought I'd be over the hump this week, but it's still lingering.  Last night (Valentine's Day) I seriously felt like I had had too much to drink (for the record, all I was drinking was sparkling cider); the room was kind of spinning.  The nausea was making me feel wasted!  I took B6 and Unisom and went to bed early, but of course I had to get up to pee several times in a stupor, and the frustrating thing about peeing these days is that hardly anything comes out yet it feels like SO much pressure on your bladder!

I have also felt like my uterus is stretching, which is probably exactly what's happening!  I took Tylenol because it was pretty uncomfortable.  The sharp twinges coming from the vagina -- pretty sure I had several of those too.

Fatigue and vivid dreams are in full force.  I'm pretty sure the vivid dreams are *contributing* to the fatigue.

Bring on Week 13!!!

I'm a financial advisor and have clients in my office too...but I have my chair tucked in and I promptly sit on chair lol. I also ordered that cushion.

@ellemnop90 Do you mean lightning crotch? It usually starts up toward the end of first tri. It is a strange sensation for sure, but definitely normal.
