@scoogy19 I lovingly refer to my stomach as the blump. (Bloat bump).

Does anyone else have an insatiable appetite right now?? I don't remember it being like this with my first pregnancy. MS hasn't kicked in for me yet so I'm trying to get as many calories in as I can.

Yes totally- I don't remember being this hungry last time- and no MS here as yet either.

@scoogy19 I'm on #4 and 5 weeks and already want to break out the maternity jeans. Or at least the hair bands

Possible TW? I see many saying you bloat more with each pregnancy, does that include lost pregnancies? If so I can't imagine what kind of bloat I'm in for. I've only delivered 2, but this is my 6th pregnancy. I almost think that wouldn't add to the "stretch" like a full term would? 

No offense, but I'm trying to wrap my head around this post. You just got done ranting (and edited your post) about how you avoid the symptoms thread because of TWs and that you didn't want to post about them. And yet here you are. 

I have you on my caution list for sure. You seem all over the place. 

Chawk17

I thought it was weird to see you here to @CAdreamin13 I haven't figured you out yet. You throw a tantrum and now you're calm. .

TattoosandLace

@CAdreamin13 I think you need to chill. Meatball didn't get after you. She wasn't rude. You're there's no drama unless you're making drama by reading something into her words that weren't there.

Yes, I absolutely am all over the place and I will be until I hold this baby. I have lost 3 babies in a row since August. Blood talk is a trigger for me and I know many post about bleeding/spotting/watching for it in the early symptoms posts. I have now been a part of 6 BMB and unfortunately know that these next few weeks tend to be heavy on losses, unfortunately some months more than others. I avoided this post since getting on the BMB until I posted my medication question and then saw the heartburn post girl being talked to about posting. I quickly went and posted on this thread to hopefully avoid repercussion, obviously it was too late and in the end I read about a few already on bleeding watch, then read about the bloat and figured well, since I'm already down the tunnel I might as well ask. Asking about being bloated is not a trigger for me as that has never been an indication of impending loss, but in case mentioning my pregnancies/take home babies/no take home babies would upset anyone else I put "possible TW." I want to be able to post as I feel comfortable. Tomorrow I may not feel comfortable asking a question, the next day I might. That's just how PGAL brain is. Some days are better than others. Some days the grief is more than I can bare. I have never once dealt with so much drama personally and I have been on TB for 6 years, but I also haven't experienced loss until this past August, so maybe I'm more sensitive. I've also never been made to feel bad about where I've posted either, though, as I know where to post. I genuinely did not think asking about a medication was a symptom post. 

That's what I thought, that maybe your emotions are running a little high. Which is understandable given your history. But, it also comes off as suspicious. I hope you can see that it's confusing and that I mean no harm
by questioning it. I am not sure if there is a PGAL thread started yet, but I think you could really benefit from it. I sincerely hope all of us here have healthy pregnancies. 

Chawk17

You have to realize you are not the only person that has had a loss on this board. I'm sorry to be rude but you can't use your losses as a crutch. I'm also a pgal person as are several others. 
I get the blood- my loss was due to low betas...however, as someone  ( sorry for no tag) says often on here. You have to be happy to be pregnant today and stop worrying about the future. You can't use your loss as an excuse for your behavior. If mentally youre not ready for the board. Dont take it out on us. 
Thats all I'm going to say about that.

@meatball37 I did post there, unfortunately (as you might know if you've ever had a late in the month due date) I was late to posting and didn't get many responses. I figured that would happen so I almost waited to intro in March, but unless I go late, I don't think I will be a March Mom and wanted to go where I was supposed to be. You'll notice the "love its" greatly decrease on the intros as the days of the month pass, too. On my previous BMBs when I was fortunate enough to be the first of the due dates (because let's be real, come your month, you totally wish you were those women amirite?!) I purposely went back to the intro post and continued liking through the last of them so those women felt "noticed" too. Maybe that's silly, but I like to think it makes them feel acknowledged. And if not, well, that's fine too. Anyway, I don't want to take over this post, but I did want to say that yes you are so right. I am all over the place. I was confused on where I was supposed to post. I'm nervous about losing ANOTHER baby. Some days I feel good about reaching out to other women feeling nervous and other days I avoid the posts like the plague. I promise you if you go take a look at my previous "homes" or chat with the women that have become my BFF, go to's, and aunts to my kids, I'm about as normal (albeit currently nervous) as they get. Sorry I've made you feel otherwise. 

Maybe you need to take a step back and reevaluate if this whole board is more of a benefit or an anxiety trigger for you. It sounds like the latter. Why put yourself through that if you don't have to.

Mean Girls is totally July16.

stefdeborja

Any one else getting light cramps that kinda feels like it could be gas too?? So bloated, so I have actual gas pains but have  been having light cramps that come and go. Super tender boobs (and so big already lol!), hungry but no appetite, food aversions (lost my sweet tooth! This baby really is a miracle! Haha), dizziness and like a "low grade" nausea as I call it. With a taste in my mouth that makes me crazy anything citrussy and refreshing! 6 weeks today:) just listed a whole bunch of symptoms! Oh and TIRED! holy moly tired!

Chawk17

I'm 6weeks2days, I've got the cramps from gas. Tar-ish poo, and pms boobs. Slightly nauseated with no appetite, but I eat. So I think we have similar symptoms.
I'm tired and pee a lot, but that's normal for me so I dont count it.

@TattoosandLace July 16 was definitely entertaining. They attempted to come to the aug 16 board a few times to stir up shit. But our group was pretty tame and didn't really respond to it. 

the_other_mother

@meatball37 @TattoosandLace I remember a lot of the feuds with June16. There were so many members banned over there. 

starla

@Chawk17 I think the tarish poo is from the iron in your PNV. However, if it looks  bloody then go see your doctor ASAP!

TattoosandLace

@meatball37 @the_other_mother always riding on two warnings over here. haha. Mostly for language and gifs. Though, I do still have my "in case of ban account" and am a little sad I never got to use my (what I found as hilarious) SN. 

eggplantface

I have that low grade nausea too. Don't need to puke yet, but no appetite. Yesterday I woke up with a headache that didn't go away despite Tylenol and I spent all day on the couch. I still have it today. I'm going to take more Tylenol bc I can't work with this pain. 

heatherdubrow

@eggplantface headaches have always been my main pregnancy first trimester symptom. Try some really cold coca cola with the tylenol. I have found it really helps

seitzy3

@CAdreamin13 I can't comment on your other posts because I haven't seen them but if you are feeling anxiety, I would encourage you to step back from the Internet. It almost always makes it worse. Unless of course you can re-evaluate and find support on the PGAL threads/board. If you give support rather than ranting about your concerns, you'd be more likely to receive support back. 

TW



after I lost my twins in 2014, I got pregnant shortly after and I decided not to be quite active in my bmb board because it was triggering these emotions you are talking about. Once I was ready, I found incredible support with TB ladies. Honestly, it would best to talk to your doctor if your feelings are all over the place. 

Chawk17

@starla thanks for the tip. So far it's just darker but I will watch for blood:)

TattoosandLace

@CAdreamin13 you are the one who keeps bringing your supposed "misstep" up. You are dragging out something that really doesn't need to be. Meatball gave the same advice as seitzy did.

as for multiple accounts, if that is directed at me saying I had a backup account when TB Ban Hammer went nuts last year, feel free to @ me.  

TattoosandLace

CAdreamin13 said:

Yes, it was directed at you. Why have two accounts? Is there a reason you may be banned?  @TattoosandLace

First of all, I love that this is in the Symptoms thread taking away from other important posts that need attention. Did I say I actively use two accounts? No. Were you here a year ago when warning and bans were being thrown around like candy? If so, then you'd understand why some people had created accounts to use in case the year were wrongfully banned. Why should someone's wrongfully banned have to wait the three Day wait period?

honestly, if you don't want to be here, don't be here. This is getting ridiculous.

Also, taking from this post occurred when I was initially called out for posting on it.  Girl, you're talking in circles!

Anyone else see the irony? 

smorzandoj

Sometimes. Just sometimes. One should learn how to gracefully bow out. Just saying. 

TattoosandLace

I have explained what I meant (Which you mistook what I said to someone else..not speaking to you..). If you want to continue this, feel free to PM me. 

heatherdubrow

This is, hands down, the most entertaining symptoms thread.

sabriel1

Best of luck with the remainder of your pregnancy. You are making the right move to delete your account now that you have recognized that this entire situation is causing you so much anxiety. I hope that you are able to find a board that is a better fit for you

smorzandoj

But. You keep responding. 

TattoosandLace

@smorzandoj the GBCB apparentlydidnt get enough traction the first two times.

CAdreamin13 said:

Never enough! @TattoosandLace Just too much fun! 

Again, not at you, but feel free.

I'm sure some people will feel bad and still support you but I'm tired of  seeing your sad song on different posts. I don't buy what your selling and I think your fake. Sorrynotsorry. You can't bond with a BMB by making waves with the main posters that did nothing wrong. Also google will tell you how to delete your account. Bye Felicia. 

Also so I don't know why I'm stuck in a quote box!

the_other_mother

Typically when I walk out of a room full of strangers, I don't feel the need to tell them that I'm leaving and why. I just leave.

Especially not 800 times  

smorzandoj

@CAdreamin13 um. Excuse me mam. I don't have directors. I do, however, have wicked "morning sickness", ibs with constipation, sore boobs, a parasite in my uterus, spondylilothesis, and a bad attitude. Nice try though. 

@TattoosandLace it was rather quick for a GBCB...it's actually pretty impressive if Shen actually ever leaves. 

the_other_mother

If I acted so off the wall that people legitimately suspected me of being fake, I'd probably reevaluate some things.

Chawk17

@CAdreamin13 just saying- WE all got along before YOU came. Also I'm starting to think you're off. First you rant and attack and then you calmly say...

"Such wonderful entertainment for a Monday morning, made my day fly by, for that, thank you"
There is a mental board you might want to go for consult. Your mood swings are too bi...
Po...lar for me.

smorzandoj

@Chawk17 one of my kids is bipolar. It's a freaking fun time. Sorry. Random thought. 

TattoosandLace

You can edit your posts to be just periods. Honestly, not sure what you actually want to accomplish here...

meatballs37

I am gonna go with both! What do I win?
