Symptoms Thread 7/3

Do we want one of these every week? I can't remember what we did in my last BMB.

mylovelittlelove

Probably. They will get looong by the time we have a full month of EDDs here.

The sneezes are back in full force this AM.

Everycol0r

@mylovelittlelove same! I thought I was crazy about the sneezing. 

runsoncoffee

Just found ligament pain for me... I'm waiting for the nausea to kick in.

notthefather

Still not even 4 weeks but the waives of nausea, headaches, and sore boobs are intense. My 4yo and I are going to visit some friends in Texas Thursday and I'm nervous about taking her on her first plane ride while also feeling sick.

Ok, this may sound crazy, but this is my fifth pregnancy, and I'm still not sure I know what Round Ligament Pain feels like. Can anyone describe it? I know I have a lot of weird pains in my lower abdomen, but most of them feel pretty crampy and similar to AF. I do have the occasional pinching or stretching feeling that I remember from before.

All the same symptoms from last week, but now I'm having an increase in shortness of breath, which I remember from last time (anyone else? It's really weird), and (ugh) loose stools. Chalking the latter up to Crinone. Anxiously awaiting the HG to kick in, which usually happens for me around week 5-5.5.

Beta numbers doubled beautifully again to 372! 

heatherdubrow

@Everycol0r great news!!

runsoncoffee

Yay!! @Everycol0r! 
@jesuisjamie it feels like your insides a ripping out. Lol it's a sharp shooting pain and usually only lasts a moment. At least for me.

jesuisjamie

@scoogy19 sounds horrible! I think that started later for me last time around- like an occasional charley horse feeling. It was awful.

Everycol0r

There's no mistaking RLP. It's pretty awful and uncomfortable.

Hey, all of you with the sneezing, is it congestion, too?! I'm congested which leads to sneezing, but I can't decide if it's just a cold or not. Rhinitis in pregnancy is fairly common though and we'd be right on time for experiencing it!

I have a weird disappearance of symptoms this week (other than fatigue). I remember having this at the beginning of the 2nd tri with my son, and I wrote a message to my OB asking if it was normal. She said as long as I'm not bleeding, there's really no cause for concern or need to be checked. Every pregnancy is different and all, but I just don't remember having a 1st trimester bout with symptom-free living. It's frustrating that symptoms cause us to be nervous and the lack thereof seems to do the same. 

chasingroygbiv

Yeah!! @Everycol0r

New one.. I feel like I'm starving today but NOTHING sounds good still. Ughhh... I'm also feeling like an aversion to ranch is coming on and that could be bad. 

mdfarmchick

Yay for good doubling numbers @Everycol0r

The lower back pain every night is killer. 

mylovelittlelove

Yaaay @Everycol0r!!

JBcakes08

Anyone here not have any symptoms yet? It's feeding my anxiety. 

mylovelittlelove

@JBcakes08 I didn't have any symptoms until closer till 8 weeks with my last pregnancy and she's a healthy two year old now. Try not to worry.

tosh24

@LiveNLove44 I'm feeling the same. I have some periodic mild cramping but that's been my only obvious symptom. On Saturday night I felt like I was going to throw up looking at my dinner, but then on Sunday, I felt nothing and was crabby all day because I was *sure* I lost the pregnancy. Today the cramping has made an appearance again, but the few bouts of nausea I've had and the emotional crying haven't shown up in a couple of days. It is REALLY sending my anxiety through the roof. I wouldn't usually wish pregnancy symptoms on anyone, but hopefully you get some cramping or gut rot or something to ease your mind

Everycol0r

I've got some swamp crotch beginning stages. 

kalawa

Dry heaving every morning...and then not wanting my morning coffee! With my first I had vomitting until I gave birth, my second I had none. I was hoping for that...seems to not be the case.

mamaloba816

@scoogy19, RLP already?!? I had totally forgotten about that. 

I had to wake up to pee in the MOTN last night. I was relieved in a way, because I haven't had any symptoms for a couple days. On the other hand, I'm not quite ready for this to be my norm. 

I'm still BFing my 10 month old and I've definitely seen a dip in my pump yield. 

kby721

I'm sneezing like crazy also and every time I sneeze the RLP gets me. I don't remember having rhinitis with DD but a quick google search says it can hang around until two weeks after delivery. Greeeat. 

tosh24

Anyone feel great when they wake up only to continually feel more and more like crap as the day goes on?

heatherdubrow

@tosh24 yes! By noon I need a nap...

brettanomyces

So far I'm not feeling much. I've had a few moments of bloat and a few waves of feeling blah. My first pregnancy was like this. 

I also had rhinitis with my first pregnancy but it came out as a cough-all day every day. Not looking forward to that.

Yes! This. Every. Single. Day. I wake up and I'm like, "Let's make some plans and do fun stuff today!!" and then by lunch time, I'm all, "Okay guys, early nap time, shhhhh, let's sleep late, okay?"

JournoGrl23

I'm definitely congested and sneezing. I had this with my last pregnancy too. That and cramping are the only symptoms I'm having. I'm super anxious but trying not to worry. Since DD is only 10 months and I'm still BFing, my pregnancy symptoms never went away. So I'm trying to tell myself that's why I don't feel that different this go around. Is it bad I'm hoping for MS at 6 weeks like last time just so I have symptoms?

runsoncoffee

@mamaloba816 it's really bad!! It always seems to happen when I stand up from rocking DS before bed. 
@JournoGrl23 I'm kinda hoping for morning sickness to kick in too. I don't know why I'm more worried this pregnancy.

stow2009

Yes, congested over here, too! And short of breath. Getting up too fast is giving me dizzy spells! 

missnc77

@JBcakes08 I didn't have any symptoms until 6/7 weeks on my last pregnancy. I kept telling my husband that I wanted MS to feel pregnant, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt like an idiot for wishing for it, and my MS stayed with me well into my second tri. This time around, I'm enjoying all my favorite foods and treats before it's too late. Live and learn! 

mamaloba816

@scoogy19, I'm more paranoid this pregnancy as well. I think it's because I know it's just not realistic to be able to take it as easy as I did with my first pregnancy. Having another baby around, it's just not possible to get as much rest as I did the first time. 

haleyhwilliams12

@tosh24 Yes! I feel like Wonder Woman when I wake up but I'm dragging my lunch time! 

tosh24

I don't really have any fatigue (yet, at least) but I generally get more crampy and stomach upset as the day progresses. Although, right now I feel like a million bucks and it's late afternoon, sooo....cue anxiety!

raspell

I did not even realize that this sneezing was a pregnancy symptom, I just thought I had bad allergies! 

No other big symptoms here, although my lower back hurts terribly.  I don't know that it is related, but it sucks.

jlo629

Headache for the last 5 days.... Seriously has anyone else had this?  I never did with my first.  Otherwise just moments of where I get hot out of nowhere and a little nauseous but nothing too bad.

mdfarmchick

@raspell yes. So much lower back pain. Despite my exhaustion, I tried a bunch of yoga and stretches yesterday. I think it feels *slightly* better. But that could be wishful thinking. 

@jlo629 Yes. A low grade headache for so many days I lost count. 

chasingroygbiv

I just feel like poop. All. Day. Long. Nauseated. Tired. Fainty. Slight headache yesterday, tried Tylenol and it didn't do much. Drank a bunch of water and it seemed to do the trick.. that time.

runsoncoffee

@jlo629 I just saw your siggy thing and you had cholestasis with your first. So did I!! I am anxious to see if I end up with it again. Glad to have a cholestasis look out buddy!

slr1229

Zero symptoms, never had any with my first either.

Everycol0r

Oh lord, only thing going on lately is it feels like my boobs are being run over by a tractor at night and hurt all day. 

historeliza

I'm only 4+2 at the moment, but I threw up the other night, have sore boobs, and cramps.  I'm trying to drink as much water as I can, but then I have to pee every 15 minutes haha
