Fatigue is getting worse. Boobs are still very sore. Increased hunger. Very frequent trips to the bathroom (especially in the middle of the night of course) and cramping.
I hit the wall two days ago. I am queasy, hungry, and nothing is appealing...this sucks! I get anxious when I start to get hungry every couple of hours because I do not know what I WANT to eat and if it will be appetizing. I just want someone to mind-read and bring the food to me.
I'm tired but figure if I can get 9-10 hours of sleep, I won't need a nap. I go back to work tomorrow and I am nervous about the food and fatigue things cause I had not planned on announcing there til I'm 6 or 7 months
I'm actually feeling pretty good this week so far! Nausea seems to be at bay for the most part, just bloated and tired. Also, I asked my OB what she suggests to keep weight off with this pregnancy (I gained 60 lbs with my daughter, and have lost all but 10- ssooooooo close to fitting in those pants again). She said attempt NO complex carbs and very limited carbs of any sort. They aren't needed, apparently. Of course, now this is all I'm craving as I attempt to eat refried beans with cheese, chicken, veggies, peanut butter, and----gag-----eggs.
Super nauseous will be 8 weeks Friday and the past few days nauseous has really ramped up but still haven't actually gotten sick. Switching my one cup of coffee until later in day since I can't stomach it first thing in morning anymore
6 weeks here. And I totally agree with everyone who has said they just want to crawl in a cave and hide for the next several weeks. Although I find being with other people keeps me distracted and I don't notice the MS as much. But when it's just me and DS home all day, I feel like the worst mom. I curl up on the couch and make him play by himself and he just keeps saying "mommy, feel better, come play". Breaks my heart.
For the first time in six pregnancies I threw up. I had posted that I was feeling pretty good a couple days ago and that must of jinxed me. I have never experienced this at such a high intensity. I have been going back and forth about whether this should be my last pregnancy and I am now convinced that I will feel relieved and complete once this baby makes it here safely. I really hate to complain, because I feel so fortunate to be pregnant, but I can't keep up. Three small children, obligations with my oldest, and an almost full time job leaves no room for feeling like this. To say I am ready for the second tri is an understatement.
I've had nausea and pretty much constant, mild-to-moderate cramping. One of my friends suggested this overpriced tea was a miracle worker for a bevy of symptoms... I figured it was worth a try! :
I'm 8 weeks along now and (knock on wood) actually starting to feel better. Not vomiting as much and my nausea isn't lasting all day anymore! It's weird to me though because when I was pregnant with my daughter, that all lasted until 21-22 wks.
Now I'm just exhausted all the time. Having extremely vivid dreams. Dealing with insomnia even though I'm insanely exhausted!

The worse I feel with this pregnancy, the more convinced I am that 2 kids is enough for us. I can't imagine feeling like this and chasing after more than one toddler. Kudos to you and all the other 3rd time + moms, I think I would actually die.
Why, oh why, does my chest hurt when it's my second pregnancy and I'm still nursing? I know this is an irrational idea, but I wishfully thought I could avoid the soreness! Bah humbug.
@heatherdubrow I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I had spotting and still have cramping and the OBGYN said it's all good and fine, as long as it is light spotting and not too severe in any measure. You'll be in my thoughts and hopefully will have the all-clear ASAP!
I'm only 5w 6 d, but really have had no symptoms. I had very little with DD1, and then serious symptoms with DD2, so I know it can vary but man does it mess with your head.
i have been pooping a lot, so maybe that's a symptom : p
I'm feeling like crap. If I go from laying to standing my vision blacks out for a quick minute. The fatigue is killing me. My kids are so bored of being inside but it's so hot out and I can't deal right now. Sleeping is a chore too, I try to fall asleep at night and I can't.

I am not trying to scare you, but I might call about your vision blacking out. That can be scary if it is prolonged.
Guys.... I've already gained 6lbs the same thing happened the first time and I ended up gaining 35+ and was fortunate enough to lose it all plus some solely from breastfeeding but not sure I'll be that lucky twice! I'm not overeating and I'm really bloated but that number was a bit surprising! Anyone else??

Same here!!! I definitely forgot how miserable pregnancy can be! I'm done after this one.
I am on week 6 and the symptoms have really spiked! Super tired but can't sleep, and so nauseous! I am having a really hard time focusing at work. I am on Zoloft for anxiety and my doc increased my dose this morning, so that's adding to the grogginess. Argh. Just 8 more month....
@heatherdubrow Did your OB want you to go in? I had spotting around this time with my first (and beautiful baby girl 7 months later), and I'm the same amount along as you and always nervous it will happen again. Just know that it is very common, and try to rest and get lots of water today. Keep us updated.
Of course I feel absolutely awful on my first day back at work after over a week off. (We were across the country for my BIL's wedding.) SO tired, and the ms is coming back. I think that was more to do with my not being on top of my OTC ms treatment that I'd been utilizing, but it sucks. Also insanely emotional - I started crying when my husband told me to sit down with my ginger tea and let him take care of things.
@heatherdubrow fingers crossed for you that everything is ok. will be thinking of you and hope you get good news soon.
I've had to bow out for the last couple of weeks because, pretty much the minute I hit six weeks, I got so, so, so sick, that just looking at a phone screen made me want to vomit. Now here I am, eight weeks along, and I fear the nausea & vomiting is only increasing. I went from puking only once per day to two or three or even more times per day. I'm struggling to keep anything down, and just yesterday, finally requested a prescription for Diclegis because I don't think I can do this anymore without some kind of pharmaceutical help.
As mentioned above, I feel so bad for my two girls. They are so bored. All they want to do is go out and play, but I can't handle the heat and struggle to get off the couch. So a lot of PBS kids and Netflix over here.
as for food, nothing sounds good but junk food. I normally try to eat very healthy, and avoid soda, but so far my diet has consisted of pizza, Taco Bell, and Dr Pepper. I have a water aversion no matter what I do to it, so that's fun.
With my prior two successful pregnancies, the nausea and vomiting didn't dissipate until somewhere around 20 or 21 weeks for me, so I'm really hoping this time around it eases up sooner. I just want to feel somewhat normal again.

@heatherdubrow I hope your spotting stays gone! @scoogy19 I have already gained that myself. In fact I'm wearing a bellaband already b/c my pants don't button. It doesn't help my metabolism is SUPER SLOW since quitting my Adderall in January f*ed it all up. I'm so afraid I'm going to gain tons of weight. FX I can breastfeed, esp after hearing your story! I bet you can lose it all again the same way.

I've been feeling very off today. Very stressed. And now I'm getting pretty bad cramps. I've barely been able to eat and I've thrown up what I have eaten, so I'm hoping the cramps are just stomach pain or sever round ligimant pain as apposed (sp?) to something else. Today is not my day.
I have a lovely upset stomach and have probably visited the toilet 10 times today for that reason. Still thankful it is coming out of the south end and not the north. I was worried I might have picked up a bug or ate something bad?! It looks like a few of you have had the same problem though so hopefully its just part of this whole growing a human thing.

Does anyone else's boobs itch like crazy!? I mean on the inside, too. There's nothing I can do about it!
