Symptoms Week of 9/23

How is everyone feeling?

JNCPro3130

My body has decided it needs to be completely comfortable or it's going to be nauseous. If I'm too hungry or too full, my body says "Why would you do that to me?" and I feel sick. Luckily I haven't thrown up yet.

Also, I'm emotional. I got teary over a random song, random commercial, and a FB post this week. Yay hormones!

My nausea went away for 48 hours. I was in heaven.  Now it came back in the form of a motion sickness headache.  I was able to squeeze in a massage though before the yuck came back.

I'm still early (5 weeks) so no nausea but I've been crampy for the last day and a half. I think it's just gas, and probably my early-pregnancy hyper-awareness, but I don't remember being this crampy last time. Tiny bit worried. 

charlestonchew

@christycalifornia I was really crampy in the beginning up until about 6ish weeks. Anecdote but thought I'd share.

AFM I feel like shit. Nausea, indigestion, complete and total exhaustion, constipation.

My mouth is like a desert... I'm thirsty all the time. All I want is water, but water is also triggering my nausea. Nevertheless I persist. And then I pee every 30 minutes like clockwork. The peeing thing didn't happen to me until I had a legit bowlingball baby in there pushing on my bladder so I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. 
Basically, I'm a ball of fun right now.

Oh, and the congested nose thing. I miss being able to smell and breathe and breathe some more. 

Poppy0419

@yesthisiskim0401 sameeee on the water. Holy crap. It has to either be sparkling or ice cold. No in between. Lemon La croix has been helping. 

My nose is in overdrive. Something in my fridge smells horrible and I can't even open it to clean it out.

My boobs are ginormous. When I take off my regular bra at night to put on a sports bra (since, you know, I HAVE TO sleep in a bra at this point)  DH just stares at my chest. Seriously. Like a teenager seeing a nice set for the first time. If he were a cartoon, his eyes would bulge out.
I cried in the car the other day to It Won't Be Like This for Long by Darius Rucker. I listened and thought about how fast time has gone with our kids already and how blessed we are to do it again.
Today, I am so bloated that shorts I wore early last week wouldn't fit. I had to put on my shorts from last summer, ones that I wore before I worked hard to lose a bunch of weight. And honestly, I wasn't even mad. 



So basically, if you're in the midwest and see a blimp floating around, it may be my bloated butt crying to country songs. Or maybe that's why my boobs are big?  They're acting as anchors!

I feel like shit.  Plain and simple.  I'm literally nauseated 24/7.  I was getting a break from about 7-9pm.  No more.  It's all the time.  I get food in front of me and then I can't eat it.  I'm also exhausted.  It's so much fun

bearwithme

So much puke. Every day. I'm so hungry but just thinking about what I want to eat makes me dry heave. I'm beyond exhausted- probably malnourished and a little dehydrated, too. Finally got prescription meds on board and I'm hoping those keep me out of the hospital and off IV fluids.  

And I'm pretty sure I felt the baby move. 

Just kidding. It was gas. So much gas and bloat. 

Is it second tri yet?!?

Where do I even start? 
I am thirsty 24/7 and if I drink water I start to feel so nauseous but if I don't drink water, my throat is ripping because of thirst! Also, I'm super emotional like earlier at work today I was telling a colleague about my nausea and started crying while explaining (idk why?) then I was crying because my husband was trying to encourage me to eat but I couldn't... NAUSEA!!! And now as I was reading the posts before mine on how you guys are also emotional and nauseous I was starting to get emotional like "I'm not the only one  

gildah

I'm insanely emotional. DH took me to see Hamilton and I cried all the through the second act. I also have ZERO tolerance for other people complaining (except for you lovely ladies:-) A friend of mine texted me today about how hard her day has been because her toddler was crying.  I wanted to text back "suck it up princess you're an adult now" but I didn't.  I'm really nauseous and dizzy, but I'm taking b6/unisom and it helps a lot:-) Mostly I'm just so excited to have another baby. My friend's wife just had their first kid and he keeps sending me pictures of his new little squish and she is so cute! I can't wait till May!!!!

I'm full on riding the struggle bus at this point. Im still throwing up multiple times a day and I'm finding it hard to keep hydrated. I can't drink a large amount of liquid or it comes back up and the tiny sips throughout the day don't seem to be cutting it. I called and asked for the prescription meds that were offered last week, so hopefully I can start those next week. I'm also just exhausted and having a hard time finding the energy and motivation to do anything. Four more weeks of first tri for me and I'm counting down every day. 

duck_duck_goose

The emotional rollercoaster is real. I cried at work today because somebody stupidly through the wrong thing away. (Long story short we had 3 of something, 2 expired and 1 good and they threw out 1 expired one and the 1 good one). I was so upset and pissed. Then I was sad. It was fun.

Also, the smells are starting to kill me. I can't feed my patients any more without wearing gloves because the smell sticks to my hands and makes me nauseous.

@bearwithme move or breathe? Asking for science. 

rachelg777

I'm sorry for you ladies that are so sick  . Hang in there!

My nausea is coming and going now which is nice. The last couple days I have been even more exhausted than usual, my eyelids feel like they weigh 10 pounds. I still have occasional cramping and "rectal pressure" (I complained about that a few weeks ago). It's random and weird. My doc says it's normal though. I just know I'm gonna have crazy hemorrhoids to deal with soon enough.

Both. It was actually practicing its floor routine. I'm raising a gymnast. We start them young in our family.

I hope the meds help and at least some of your energy returns. It's like you just hit a point where you're beyond sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

I'm over feeling this exhausted!!!!! I'm bloated all to hell. I have a headache that I'm probably going to die from. Food is gross. Food is also life. Pretty sure I have a uti, but it doesn't hurt when I pee, so who knows. Also dealing with constipation and rectal pressure. (Can't wait for this pregnancy's hemorrhoids) AND I'm a rageful bitch.

justsuzie

@rachelg777 My nausea is coming and going as well.  Boobs aren't as sore either. I would normally be concerned, but I'm too tired.

mileswithmyles

@bearwithme yes!  That's exactly it. If I could sleep all day and not have to work or parent, I might be okay. 

dinonugget

@Poppy0419 yes to either sparkling water or ice cold water! I'm dying of thirst but too much water makes me sick.

This exhaustion is miserable. I struggle to get up in the morning and within a few hours I'm already dying for a nap. On Thursday my 17 month old fell asleep on me in the recliner and we both napped for two hours. The nausea is always there but ranges from just being annoying to dry heaving in the bathroom. I can't wait for second tri!

christycalifornia

@charlestonchew liking for the solidarity, not for the feeling like crap. ☹️

hges83

I am nausea, beyond exhausted, every inch of my body hurts and I have been waking up between 3 -4am for no reason. Then as soon as I get tired again, my alarm goes off. Lemon water seems to be the one thing my body is ok with. 

BertieMeetsGertie

Had my first few experiences with waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall asleep quickly. Boobs still killing me, especially in the morning. I have some fatigue but it's not bad. No nausea yet, but I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow so there's still plenty of time for it to show up!

sparkymcgeee

So tired. So impatient. So annoyed. Nauseous but not puking so I guess that's a win. 

Ceridwen77

So nauseous, all the time except when I'm hungry, then I'm like voraciously hungry. It is the weirdest thing. My last pregnancy I had nausea and no appetite at all so I guess this is better?

Also super tired. I actually napped while DD napped yesterday and may do the same today!

silverhope

My symptoms seem to have disappeared over the past few days and my BBT is down the past two days, so calling OB tomorrow. Dr. Google is not my friend.

Would give anything for my nausea to come back. 

justsuzie

I thought my nausea was tapering.  And then back full force today worse than ever.  I suck for thinking I was the lucky one that only got MS for a couple weeks. 

GeekBeagle

I'm dizzy/lightheaded a lot. And occasional cramping.

cups4

Nauseous and puking and just like @JNCPro3130 I have to find a perfect balance of full and empty stomach or my body revolts. I'm going to ask about meds at my MFM appointment Tuesday but I'm worried about the drowsiness side effect as a teacher just trying to make it through the day.  MH has been awesome and stepping up like a mother fucker. He's beasting it as a parent and googling how to help me. 

justsuzie

@cups4 I teach from 10:45-1:30 (I know, I suck) and I can barely make it through that time. Can't imagine an entire full day.  I literally sip water from a straw all day.  And I walk into the storage closet and spit in a cup. lovely.

nanifrog

Sooooooo moody and angry. Everything pisses me off. Sometimes so much I cry.

Totally not interested in eating. Some words make me nauseous.

Very, very, very anxious (and I'm anxious normally).

I think I'm shedding crazy amounts. Is that a thing?

kpc914

My aunt passed away two days ago. I was closer to her than my mom. As if i wasnt already hormonal...grieving has been really....intense. for lack of a better word. I get worried that the stress, crying, and pain isnt good for baby.....but i also need to grieve. 

As for actual symptoms
 Was throwing up 3x a day, couldnt eat anything. Gave in and got b6 and unisom
 No more vomitting, jist general all day nausea and exhaustion. On top of im worried i am coming down with something because im congested, have the chills and *tmi* the runs. 

sparkymcgeee

@kpc914 I'm sorry for your loss. Please grieve. I have a friend that lost her husband at this stage of her pregnancy and she was worried about the same thing but her baby was fine. You have to let your heart feel what it needs to feel to heal. 

bwow615

@kpc914 so sorry for the loss of your aunt. My thoughts are with you and your family. 

bearwithme

@kpc914 I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending love and light to you and your family. 

suchaglencoco

@kpc914 I am very sorry for your loss. Please feel the grief. It's very important to not build up all of that sadness and emotion.

**tw- after our second loss, I found it was really helpful to cry in the shower in the morning. It helped me get out most of my pain for the day and it was therapeutic to literally wash away the tears. I felt a weight lift off when I'd step out of the shower.
Even now when I wake up 

Hugs to you.

gildah

@kcp914 I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is so hard. Please allow yourself to grieve.
