19+3 Exactly halfway to our RCS date as of today!!! Not much terribly new, still having all the same, but the kicks keep getting stronger and I can feel some really really good ones on the outside now! Also this kid is crazy. Yesterday I felt them way over on my right side, then last night I felt them in the middle but way low, then this morning I felt them WAY up high on either side of my belly button! They were so hard I could actually feel a tiny little foot, felt like a finger poking up hard! It's crazy. I forgot how amazing it feels.
18 weeks tomorrow. No symptoms. This is just going to be a symptomless pregnancy. But I've felt baby kicks on the outside and I feel her all the time on the inside.
18w4d. The entire weekend my body hurt so much. I haven't worked out or been very active since mid-January b/c of all day MS, but last Wednesday I decided to start walking to work again (15 minute walk) and Friday I did an easy yoga class. Saturday I woke up feeling terrible. I had a sharp pain on my left lower abdomen which I couldn't figure out was RLP, fibroid degeneration pain, or something else. My sciatica was killing me. My arms were sore. So I laid in bed all day Saturday, felt a little better yesterday, and now the pain on my left side is gone. Sooo not sure what that was, maybe it was RLP after all? Maybe my body freaked out that I was being so active after months of being lazy?
16w2d I feel pretty great! I get an occasional headache and my boobs are sore on and off, but otherwise no symptoms currently. I'm anxiously awaiting to feel the kicks. It's so hard being at the end of the month and being behind you all!
I am always hungry- I eat all day, and then usually wake up once at night from hunger. I've started keeping granola bars and trail mix in my night stand.
The pelvic pain is also constant, and very uncomfortable. And my butt goes numb if I sit for too long.
Almost nightly tension headaches. Good thing I'm still constantly tired because sleeping them off seems to be the only solution.
All the heartburn.
I peed myself a little bit for the first time, and I wasn't even sneezing or coughing. I rolled over in bed on Saturday morning while still waking up, and it just leaked out of me. My mother lost all bladder control during her pregnancy with me, and I feel like fate is upon me now.
Overall though, once I take care of the heartburn, nausea is subsiding quite a bit. I still have bad days but not nearly as often. Plus, today I woke up and felt like crap. I didn't throw up and I actually managed to come out of the feeling like crap!! I'm so excited I didn't have to take a zofran to feel better!
Headaches, but I find that a heating pad works pretty well on them.
A little more energy! Strangely it's always at night, but I'm not complaining. I managed to clean the entire downstairs of my house the other night. Woohoo!
Still a lot of aversions, but I can handle
@wyomama0427 you made a comment about peeling kiwi a few days ago and I've been craving them like crazy! I love kiwi. So now I'm on a yummy kiwi kick! And potato salad, I could live on potato salad
I keep getting mail from the insurance about symptoms of preterm labor and menstrual like cramps and backache are on the list. And I'm having twingy like cramping and a lower back ache(part of the ache is my sciatica but this is different) likely period is about to start. My doctor said last visit I'll feel this pregnancy more than my last and some cramping is normal, but what amount or for how long is "normal"?
Has anyone else been having back pain that's in the middle of the back, not the lower back? I'm not sure if it's just my ribs expanding, or maybe extra boob weight?
-nausea still hits at least once a day -lower back pain... I was on my feet for too long Friday and was in tears by bed time -still cramping some at night but not nearly as bad -does overwhelming anxiety count as a symptom?
@LosAngelesMama I was kind of worried at first. I was always thinking no symptoms means this isn't a healthy pregnancy. But when the kicks started it has eased my mind.
I'm experiencing on / off dull period-like cramps, lower back pain and pelvic pressure (started a couple weeks ago). The pelvic pressure was really worrying me, but I had an appointment this a.m. and the Dr. checked my cervix and said everything looks good. Did anyone else experience this early in their second trimester?

I was having the same thing a couple of weeks ago, probably right around where you are...16/17 weeks. I do still have some cramping and pressure, but no where nearly as bad as it was.
-Occasional lower back pain -Heartburn that seems to just sit all the way in the back of my throat -Constant peeing -This fucking jawline acne. I want to rip it off my face it makes me so mad. RAWR. -Baby kicks!

Braxton hicks, colostrum let downs, migraines, insomnia, aches and pains. I gave in and started using a body pillow. I'm happy to be eating again and my energy is better! +also libido is back.
So I've been standing up and doing a lot today, I'm not totally used to that activity level yet. I'm having some nasty RLP. I don't remember it was this bad with my first. Is it normal for it to be painful to stand, but not when I lay down?
@mcdoug211 I wish I could answer your question and I'm sorry to hear about the cramping. As a FTM I don't feel qualified to address it, but I just want to give you some encouragement and assure you that your doctor will know the best! (And maybe some other STMs will have experience with it.)
the worst pain I've felt this pregnancy has been hands down the trapped gas, which felt like a type of cramping. I had a hard time describing it. But the doctor assured me that gas can be both painful and common in pregnancy. Fortunately it's gotten better, maybe also bc I haven't been constipated? Alas, all these interconnected symptoms!
16+3 with twins but feels like 1,000 weeks right now.
The vaginal pressure is unreal right now. I just want to cry.
Had a headache all day that laid me up on the couch until about 5:30 pm when DH got home. Now DD is in bed and I'm relaxing even more.
My nipples are incredibly sensitive, but my boobs look fantastic. The haven't grown much yet, but the are much fuller. I guess I didn't realize how sad they were looking after breastfeeding DD for 2.5 years.
Finally starting to put on some weight, so I guess that's contributing to the weight and pressure in the nether regions.
- I have some kind of tendonitis / my arm keeps falling asleep. Wah! - I notice some hip pain, I just try to keep wiggling my hips to stretch it. - I def have more energy and libido than 1st tri, but I still want to lay around and sleep all the time. - heartburn! - ACNE on the jawline! Why is this a club @Swazzle? - beginning to feel slight baby kicks when I lay down for the night

I know we had a belly button discussion before but, you guys. This belly button. I don't know where it came from or who it belongs to! It's wide and like.... deep upwards? It's like an upside down pocket? BIZARRE.

@cmar1006 I have the WORST vaginal pressure as well, SO uncomfortable. I'm worried how I am going to feel later down the road if it's this awful now...
20 weeks tomorrow, right hip pain and my left thigh keeps going numb???? So aggravating. Last time my ribs hurt constantly (everyone kept saying of that's his heel in your ribs, but actually it was like a tight rubber band around my rib cage that my doc said was from my ribs expanding) hoping this time I won't get that again. Also +1 to the snissing and the coughissing lol just peeing myself if I have to pee and then sneeze or cough

That only just started for you? Lucky! I had bronchitis the week before last. Coughing was horrible.
Jealous of @kelseyrayay symptomless pregnancy!
