Symptoms Thread 6/5

@MCraig1484 & @canonmom413  Last week and the week before, when I was 21-22 weeks, I was getting really nauseous too. I found eating smaller meals kind of helped. I also had heart burn going on too, so small meals definitely helped that. However, now at 23 weeks my nausea has went away and I ate a whole Chipotle burrito for dinner last night without any issues.. So maybe there is hope for you ladies in the near future!

@ariz17 I keep telling myself to not eat so much and it should help, but I CAN'T.STOP.EATING!

If I eat anything resembling a big meal I get nauseous too definitely more, smaller meals is the way to go for now.

I've been eating smaller meals the past week or two to try and get rid of this heartburn. I have breakfast, small lunch #1, small lunch #2, average size dinner, and a snack at night. Sometimes if I get hungry after breakfast I have some fruit.

DH said I'm like a hobbit.

@tyannej I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that already! I had nasty swelling over Memorial Day weekend because it was so hot. It's the worst. I hope you get some relief soon!!

Well ladies, I officially pulled out the belly support band. I couldn't take the top/front heavy pull anymore today! DD was at my parents, following a sleepover there, so I was cleaning and nesting like crazy and my body is feeling it tonight! Thankfully the band works pretty well at holding things up, reducing the amount of crotch pain after working too hard today.

@tyannej oh no I'm sorry you're dealing with swelling! Have you tried a foot soak with epsom salt? I tried it a few weeks ago because my feet were bloated from the airport, and it was really helpful. I added a few drops of peppermint oil in it as well.

@sdarling2010 I hope you feel better tomorrow after resting tonight! 

tyannej

Thank y'all! And @ChocolateIsLife I have not! But I'm considering going to get a pedicure to see if it helps at all!

Brambles23

I'm noticing a little more heartburn than normal, but not too much.  Mostly it's after eating a large meal.

I can't stop farting.  And belching.  But mostly farting.  

ChocolateIsLife

@tyannej seriously a pedicure is my favorite indulgence. My OB said they are safe just make sure it's well ventilated, and I always tell them I'm pregnant just so that they are more gentle with the massage. I hope your find some relief soon!

@Brambles23 omg the gas is unreal!

ariz17

@dumbledoredies second breakfast! Lol so true. 

@Brambles23 soo much tooting. And its BAD. 

ChocolateIsLife

I randomly get this flash wave of anxiety of having a newborn and dropping her and it freaks me out. 

dumbledoredies

@ChocolateIsLife I have to force myself to not think about those kinds of things or I would be a mess. I hope you're able to get rid of the anxiety!

ChocolateIsLife

Thanks @dumbledoredies it's comforting to know that other people feel this way sometimes too. It's rare and random so it always throws me off. I saw a cute wrap on IG this morning and then started thinking if I tied it wrong, that the baby would come loose off of me and then she would hit the ground. OK BRAIN ENOUGH OF YOU TODAY!

Brambles23

@ariz17 and @ChocolateIsLife it's sooo bad.  But they're silent so I end up sneak attacking my husband.  I can't help but giggle my ass off.  Yes, I'm 10 years old.  DH is like...

So funny! I always try to blame the cat  It doesn't work.

TallMomma29

@chocolateislife I've had two babies and I still panic about dropping newborns.  They are so tiny! I'm always convinced they are going to fall through the gap between my arm and stomach while holding them.

This! That is why I'm always scared to hold other peoples babies. 

monstera13

+1 to the horrible gas. I can't believe that much air can fit inside of me!! 

Also, thanks for increasing my anxiety about holding a newborn. I hadn't thought about accidentally dropping it yet! 

bluejeanbabi05

Lol DH and I have a little inside joke where we say to eachother "don't drop the baby!" 

So yeah we're a bit worried about it too, because we handle worries by cracking dumb jokes about them.

Haha I try to blame 3 year old DD. She can't say toot so she will always ask me if I pooped.

OMG I am so glad I am not the only one that thinks about that when I see those wraps!!!

I'm starting to get backaches and it makes me sad because I was so much fitter first time round. I never got my fitness back.

Brambles23

Itchy nipples are also a thing right now.

PizzaMonster3

Same @Brambles23 it's always on the edge of my skin and areola

jesssssr

+1 on what @buttercream_frosting said. 

Im just hoping i get my stuff together this time and actually stick to a workout routine after this one is born. 

B&Vsholly

I am 20 weeks and 5 days. Snissi g every once and awhile, still dealing with puking first thing in the morning some days others not so bad. But my nausea and food adversions came yesterday. Made my DH a cheeseburger and myself one and about puked when taking a bite. My poor little DD is almost 3 and just stares at me when I'm puking like WTH are you doing MOmma lol I want my cup filled up. 

bluejeanbabi05

Oh wow I just had my worst bout of RLP this pregnancy. I was laying down and turned over and it hurt so badly for a second I screamed and DH came running in, panicking. Ouch.

buttercream_frosting

@bluejeanbabi05 Eeeeek. Hopefuly you didn't pull a muscle. I'm getting RLP this pregnancy and so far it's mild but annoying.

beezeee

@bluejeanbabi05 most of the time when I experience RLP I'll gasp or swear or show some other sign of pain. It freaks DD out so bad. Every time I sneeze she flinches expecting me to be in pain.

bluejeanbabi05

@buttercream_frosting @beezeemarie I've had RLP since I was super early, first tri, but it's mostly just been in the mild category, and it's been one of my only pregnancy symptoms so I didn't mind it much- but wow this was excessive! Go away, please! @beezeemarie aw your DD is so sweet and empathetic

buttercream_frosting

 I'm getting my most favorite "symptom".... outside kicks

@buttercream_frosting

ariz17

@bluejeanbabi05 Sorry to hear about your RLP. I was just like early in my pregnancy. I literally was in tears it hurt so bad! I thought I needed to go to the hospital. 

But wow! HOLY BACK PAIN TODAY. I am limping around the office. Just yesterday I was thinking how lucky I have been that I have no back pain. PSYCH! Every time I stand up the left side of my mid to lower back hurts so bad. I think I slept on my back last night...which may not have helped.. or this gal is sitting on my back. Move somewhere else lady!

Pupps  ... This is my second baby , and my second time getting pupps... Just my luck!

I don't know if this is a PG thing but I feel like my crotch has been kicked.

I felt like this the other day! It only lasted the one day. 

ariz17

@buttercream_frosting & @beezeemarie I feel like my crotch was kicked too. Lots of pelvic pain today 

sdarling2010

@buttercream_frosting @beezeemarie @ariz17 Add me to the crotch pain club. I've had it on and off since 16 weeks. My midwife says it's Pelvic Girdle Pain. There are varying degrees of pain and seriousness, but mostly it's yet another lovely symptom! As long as I don't over do it during the day, I'm good. 

Lately I have started to stink and I hate it! Just so sweaty and the uptick in discharge isn't helping. I want to shower alllll the time. DH says I don't smell any different than usual so maybe it's just me.
