I think the fatigue is taking over as my least favourite pregnancy symptom. I slept 9 hours Friday night, had a nap Saturday afternoon, slept 10.5 hours Saturday night, and then slept 9 hours last night and still this morning I couldn't drag my ass out of bed until I was 30 mins late for work, and have been going through the day in an utterly exhausted fog. When will this end???

Glad I'm not the only one. I feel so lazy! I usually would grab an espresso pre-pregnancy but not sure how to raise my energy levels otherwise

@babys_2018 A shot of espresso is only about 80mg of caffeine, so even if you got a double you'd still be well within the max

I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.  And today I have a lot of round ligament pain and pressure.  It isn't helping that it is still really hot here.  I am hoping that the nausea and vomiting start to fade now that I am 13 weeks.

+1 for being constantly exhausted and feeling hungover.

My back is also killing me thanks to my body pillow falling out of bed Saturday and me being too lazy to grab it. Add to that being in a car for 4+ hours yesterday with a fairly straight up seat due to car seats and I think I'll be spending my 2nd night in a row on a heating pad. I feel like an old woman.
Actual footage of me trying to reach my foot. (Not really, but you get the point.)

Um sneezing is the worst!

I feel like I *might* be getting closer to the MS passing. It comes and goes more often now with me feeling human more and more. Though waking up in the middle of the night to scarf down a bowl of cereal because I'm OMGDYINGOFHUNGER is new. 

justsuzie

@ivyvines6 Holding in the sneeze is the worst.

@justsuzie That was the next sentence of that post, that was cruelly severed by the faulty bump app

Definitely getting a little bump. Busted out the pregnancy yoga pants and dear lord, why aren't all pants cut like this?!

Escardoe

I feel dizzy this morning that i couldnt sit up from my lying position, what will help on this please? Plus slight headaches too

I saw my awkward stomach in the mirror at the gym and decided I need to make myself a shirt that says "it's not an awkward beer gut , it's an awkward baby bump".

sandbar517

@escardoe Try to make sure you're drinking plenty of water, that might help with the dizziness.  Otherwise, it's just another lovely symptom of being pregnant and there isn't much you can do about it.

Crazy pregnancy dreams kicking in. Had the most vivid nightmare this morning. Woke me up at 515 and now I'm up for the day  

ladystinson

So in addition to my wheezing and hacking, I now have no voice... Though I'm starting to think that I jumped the gun on looking up pregnancy induced asthma (lol I know, I know.... I can't help myself) I think I may just have a respiratory infection from hell. ugh Though I can finally add snissing to my list... I made it through 9 months with DS and 6 years pp without over peeing when I sneezed. Until last night lol I'm pretty sure my body is just flipping me the bird at this point

Edit: spelling is hard

sandbar517

@ladystinson "my body is flipping me the bird" -- dying.  If there was ever a truer statement about being pregnant.....

There was a Lysol cleaning product today at work that is hydrogen peroxide and is suppose to smell like lemon and it smelled like human vomit. I have used it before and never thought that, gross!

Hahaha totally feeling this, although it might be partly because of some constipation/bloat for me

One of the first signs I was pregnant last time was the day I was sitting in the living room and could smell the toilet bowl cleaner. I asked DH if he had just cleaned the toilet (I would have been blown away if that was the case) he said no. It had been a week since I had cleaned the bathroom. 

Gotta love that pregnancy nose (#itstheworst)

This sounds weird but my butt hurts. Ok well lower back and into the muscle (haha) of my left butt cheek. I am thinking of starting prenatal yoga to stretch it out. Still.... It's a pain ... In my butt lol

Try downward facing dog, and focus on spreading your sitz bones apart while you do it. It sounds weird as hell, but it's been saving my life since I discovered it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my hemorrhoids are back! This is going to be a LONG pregnancy...

changedname

MS has been limited to just incessent need or feeling of gagging-- ill take the dry heaves for the first hour in the morning over all day MS any day. But am in weird that without actually vomitting i feel slightly unfullfilled lol or like if i just puked it would finally just stop lol....

Oh and the fatigue... although im up at 3am now with insomina. ::grr::

And irritability,  i want to throat punch every one this week. My mysophonia has morphed into anyone talking just makes me want to hurt them lol. God forbid let me hear you chew anything, i would murder someone....

And i dont know if this is Realted to RLP or because i have some wicked head cold/virus--thanks to my germy 2 yo DD. But my mid back all the way to my butt aches Soooo bad. Things must be shifting but i feel like i fell down a flight of stairs!


...oh, diclegis and heating pads are my new friends... and i promise im not as violent as i seem

Escardoe

@sandbar517 ok, thank you, i checked my B.P it was very low, i was adviced to take blood tonics and lots of fluids too, i'm much better now.

curleemama32

Symptoms....my whole body hurts and I just want to sleep.
and give me all the peanut butter Cap'n Crunch , please and thank you.

justsuzie

I picked something up off the floor yesterday at work (school) and I puked. Thankfully my students are oblivious to all that is me and didn’t notice.

@ivyvines6 I HATE how early/often I've gotten hemorrhoids in subsequent pregnancies. My first they didn't come till the end and since then they just show up whenever they please.

alli392

Oh @justsuzie how did you hide it? That’s ones of my worst fears! My students are super oblivious too (and coworkers I think) and have no idea yet. It if this bloat is turning into a baby bump as it appears too it won’t be much longer...

justsuzie

@allie0320 I’m an art teacher so I just dropped a water bucket “accidentally” and told all the kids to stay clear. Then I called the custodian. TMI it was all bile so it wasn’t to bad. This has been happing to me a lot lately. Bike puke?! It’s a long stretch from breakfast to lunch and I’m too busy to snack.

Yep really hoping this is our last one. I never had the skin tag removed from last time, and now it's a huge pain the ass as well. /facepalm/ Is also like the have surgery for a rectocil. (Spell?) I'm broken...

lscal20

All day morning sickness has been gone for 2 weeks. A couple times a day I'll get super bloated, then vomit a couple hours later. Before I wasn't puking at all, so this is new and even though I am puking now, I feel better overall and rarely take zofran now. Gas, RLP, constipation, woke up today swimming in drool on my pillow, so that's starting already... Usually I'm farther along when that starts

I am 2 days away from 12 weeks. Then onto the last week of the 1st trimester. The last 2 days i have not really felt sick, a couple minor queasy episodes but really it's nothing compared to what it was. I have been taking B6 for 2 weeks... I doubt that actually helped though lol. And hopefully I didn't jinx myself cuz I have a field trip at a farm today to help out with. 

My right side is generally mildly crampy(my uterus is toward the right of my body) when I am on my feet too much or just running around doing too much. My pelvis, right side and tail bone really hurt sometimes. I am sure I will get the pelvic girdle pain again. It started to really bug me about 19weeks with my last one. My giant pillow seems to help keep everything aligned so it's not that bad. 

Ooo and with the MS subsiding... I have had a couple moody episodes. poor SO. I gotta work harder to not get snippy

alli392

Had coffee for one of the first times since I found out I was pregnant. Caffeine is making me SO shaky. Is that a symptom? Don't really want it again. But I have to admit, it was delicious to have it blended and SO cold...

sandbar517

@allie0320 Coffee usually makes me feel jittery, and I haven't really had it since I've been pregnant, so I don't really know it's a specific symptom of pregnancy or not.

Kendrajos

@allie0320 I would assume it's from the coffee if you haven't had it for awhile. I can't seem to drink it myself

Today I noticed a random pink spot in my panties and it's freaking me out. Except I haven't noticed any actual spotting when I wipe etc, and it's almost like a candy pink colour instead of what I think of as a typical kind of blood colour. I am so confused and weirded out and want to know what is happening! I also have a nasty headache today which hasn't really been an issue for me until now. I now even more can't wait for my scan tomorrow. 

justsuzie

@thunderberry Try not to analyze.... HAppens to me all the time.  Did you have a rough BM lately?
