starting to take its toll. I can't sneeze without cramping up! Sleeping a little better unless Baby G decides it's a dance party on my bladder at 2 am...
Boobs actually feel normal again.. for now. My hair is soooooo soft and shiny! Still having aversions towards some foods but definitely eating a lot! Praying all you ladies with icky symptoms feel better soon!!
I've had a cold this week. My nose is still stuffy and I can't really tell if it's cold related or pregnancy now. But the bloody nose is definitely pregnancy. Not the worst symptom. Just gross since I've been sick and blowing my nose a ton!
And I haven't thrown up in over a week!!!!!! Sorry. I'm really not trying to brag. I was sick from weeks 8-24 with DS. So I really didn't expect the MS to end this early!! (15+1 today)
@justkeeptrying girl I just knocked on wood for you! Mine went away at 14 weeks and came right back at 16. I was so happy too because I had morning sickness until third tri with my daughter keep doing what you're doing! I think I may have overworked myself too quickly once I felt better.
Headaches are still happening here, too. Ughhh. And I’m over taking any medication since I feel like I’ve already taken so much thanks to antibiotics..
Okay.. my first comment cut off the beginning of this not sure why... can't edit it on desktop so:
The round ligament pain is really starting to take its toll. I can't sneeze without cramping up! Sleeping a little better unless Baby G decides it's a dance party on my bladder at 2 am...

Ok, I don't know if they're BH or something else, but I've had very short but strong cramps kind of randomly. They only last for a few seconds and then they're gone - I didn't find them worrisome but thought they were weird? I'm a FTM so I have no idea what's "normal"
ETA that I've only had maybe 4 in the last 3 days. Also seemed to coincide with being less hydrated? (When I first got up, after walking around a fall festival for a while.)
@crossfitbabybump you are probably already doing this regarding RLP.... but just incase i thought I'd answer.
I basically brace myself for a sneeze or a cough. I bend forward... hold my stomach... contact my muscles and then sneeze. it doesn't help all the time.... it's kind of like Russian roulette... but it does help ( for me anyways)
@bb3vj3n - yes! lol that's pretty accurate! like Russian roulette, haha! The baby always kicks like crazy after I sneeze too, so I'm like.. umm did that hurt? I'm sorry! :O
@justkeeptrying - this is my first so I'm always like.. uhhh is this normal?? thank goodness! woo hoo! I've got 20 weeks to go but that's still such a long time! Does it last the whole time??
@crossfitbabybump yeah pretty much. Just wait until you're walking around and legitimately wondering if baby's head is about to fall out of your vagina from all the pressure.
I'm also on the headache bandwagon... All weekend was great, then MONDAY. Super sucky Monday... Dizzyness and a horrible emotional wreck all day. Crying for good reasons, and no reasons, and because I couldn't stop crying. Headaches always follow the crying, so yay for me. Also having the weird uterus pain. Don't know if it's braxton hicks or just baby having a disco party.
@ShawnnaO hahaha seriously though. Last pregnancy I was dialated to 4cm at 35w until 39w. Every appt the NP joked and said my baby might just fall out because his head was right there. And he practically did when I went into labour.
Majorly huge boobs. I've just gotten yet another bra to accommodate.
I'm at 18 weeks... I'm starting to really feel the weight of the baby deep in my pelvis. Isn't this sort of early? I've been feeling cramps throughout the entire pregnancy, and now I'm starting to feel intense pressure, especially when I initially standing up after sitting for a while.
I've been looking out for movement from the baby, and my friends say it first feels like fluttering. Last night in bed, I felt something like a muscle contraction. Thought it might be Bean doing a somersault, but I'm reading that some of you are experiencing braxton hicks.
sarabeth5678 My midwife told me to expect cramps and pressure because the abdominal muscles are stretching in ways they aren't used to. Not sure if that could explain what you are experiencing.
Baby is sitting on my bladder. It got so bad that I had to get checked for UTI. Everything seemed to be negative, but will get double checked. We listened for the heartbeat to make sure all was well and found it right above my bladder.
@jgl907 Be sure they culture it in case (I’ve had 2 UTI’s now, both of which initially came back negative until the 24-48 hr mark, ugh), but hopefully it IS just baby bouncing on your bladder!
my boobs are so freaking out of control This is awful! You can't even look at them without them hurting. They were big enough before pregnancy. I resent the 13 year old version of me that begged for big boobs.
@nancysimp so glad you pointed out the bad taste in your mouth in the morning. I thought maybe I was just making up something but I have been experiencing that too. Not your run of the mill morning breath, but some funky metallic nastiness. It's very unappetizing and makes me run for the mouthwash in the morning!
Really strange but I went to wash my face tonight and there's a ton of teeny tiny red splotches under the skin. Like as if my face was covered in freckles. They definitely weren't there before and while I've never had the greatest skin, I've never had a reaction or gigantic breakout. These don't even look like pimples. Just red marks and not painful. I haven't changed my skin care recently. I remember my dad once mentioning my mom breaking out in hives while she was pregnant with me and they went away in a day or two. They never figured out what it was. Kind of freaked out over here.
@sarah_haha760 Have you thrown up recently? When I had morning sickness, I'd throw up so forcefully that it broke a ton of capillaries in my face. So my whole face would be like that for 2-3 days after each time I threw up - little red dots under the skin. It's happened with both of my pregnancies.
@cford08 yes exactly, a dull metal taste. Not sure if its because of the prenatal. I'm taking pregvit...pink in the am, blue with dinner. Whatever the cause...yuck! I run first thing am for my mouthwash too to get rid of it. Hah. Sometimes I the taste comes back throughout the day and fruit helps.
Still have acne which I was hoping would clear up by now but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. Waking up to pee what feels like every hour. Headaches if go too long without eating. I have to carry snacks in my purse now lol. And these beautiful stretch marks just popped up on my butt last week.
@bravoandprosecco I've been peeing myself at least once daily not cute but oh well. This did not happen the first time around so I blame the damage from DS1.
I'm feeling "pregnant" for lack of a better word. My abdomen just feels full and I really notice when trying to crawl around after my one year old that it's already getting harder. So 2-3 months from now should get interesting!! Also I am still breastfeeding and my nips are FINALLY not in excruciating pain every time he latches. So thankful for that!!!

Other than that, just extreme nausea and food aversions. I can't wait to like food again.
