Symptoms (11/20)

millpe

How is everyone feeling? Any new/differently symptoms starting to show up? 

millpe

Starting a new thread for a new week! I've been feeling mostly good (trying to count myself lucky). I noticed today my armpits seem extra sweaty... I also got really out of breath walking up the stairs earlier. 

runsomewhere

I'm still at nothing other than occasional bloat. Not knowing if I should be feeling concerned or lucky is just making me anxious.

No symptoms yet! I typically get bad morning sickness in the first trimester so I’m really hoping that doesn’t happen again this time around.

I just got my first wave of nausea a few mins ago It’s annoying and reassuring all at the same time   

acunamatada

Not much nausea here today. I had a roaring headache until I realized I hadn't had coffee this morning. 

djh513

First day with nausea and intense food aversions.

motherofrockets

All day today has been nausea. I feel like I have the flu and I'll be at work for at least another 5 hours. Kill me now please

bradybunchmom89

I am feeling it. I feel so exhausted and nauseated all the time. This is the worst morning sickness I've had -- 4th babe, you're kicking my butt! 

kmac103

Nausea is killing me over here! With my first I had no nausea at all! Oh and the breast tenderness/nipple sensitivity is also the worst lol My son is still nursing so he’s really testing my willpower  Oh and I am super bloated too. I’ve literally been bloated since conception with this LO lol

pumpkinpancake

No real symptoms for me yet, but I’m not worried because I really barely had any symptoms last time when I was pregnant with my son. I am already feeling the exhaustion though, and walking up the stairs to my office at work is getting me more out of breath than it usually does. 

acunamatada

@pumpkinpancake first off- I love your handle, and your cat! 
I've been getttng breathless lately too- I don't remember this happening so early with DS at all!

zombiehoohaa

I have a metal taste in my mouth that comes and goes. Pretty gosh darn tired. Bummed coffee is no longer satisfying my taste buds. My tatas are feeling pretty big and heavy; not so much sore today. Peeing SOOO much! The farting...goodness gracious...I had to diffuse some eucalyptus at my desk (sorry dude across from me). 

pumpkinpancake

@acunamatada haha thanks! I’m the same - I didn’t think I got this out of breath until much later on last time, but nope, it’s already hitting me!

Holy nausea for me. Only time I dont have it is when I am not moving. This is all new to me because with my 2 pregnancies for my boys, I didnt have it at all. I did have it when I suffered my miscarriage though. Only other symptom is fatigue. Im very tired all.the.time. Bathroom trips are becoming a bit insane but I am chugging water for some reason. Its wierd that my mouth still feels dry even though ive been drinking so much. My boobs are also very sore and heavy feeling. I keep bumping them and it isnt fun. 

mybigfatgreekfetus

Ugh so much nausea! It even wakes me up at night! Then it disappears suddenly for a couple hours and I worry. I’m a total skeptic on home remedies but the apple cider vinegar in a glass of water thing seems to help.

DynamiteTrujillo

Um, bloating. And gas. Yep.

stillziggysmom

Cold-like symptoms... Sneezing. So much sneezing. Coooonstant sneezing. And no, not an actual cold, lol. 

pretzellover

I'm 7W tomorrow, and just started having abdominal soreness - almost like I did an intense ab workout yesterday. Anyone have this? (It's my 1st preg)
That + non-stop nausea + thirst.  

zombiehoohaa

My SIL just gave me these bad boys. Said they helped her through the bouts of queasiness. So far I've tried the ginger and banana...not bad. I've only felt queasy twice and these helped both time.

ashbub714

When does “pregnancy brain” start? I feel like that symptom has come flying at me in full force over the last day or so

stillziggysmom

@ashbub714 I think I still have pregnancy brain from my first pregnancy, so I honestly couldn't tell you, lol. I can, however, commiserate  

ashbub714

@d_marie_23 well at least I know someone else is having the same problem. Lol I feel like my brain is in a fog. Earlier this evening I was looking for my dogs food in the cabinet where we store plates

salfancy

Thank you @MyBigFatGreekFetus the cider vinegar helped my gas pains so much!!!!! That and some gentle yoga... I can move again!

The acne. Good lord, I look like teenage girl again with huge pimples all over my face. Trying to find some pregnancy safe skincare products to help calm this shit down.

I’ve just been using my normal face wash. Are there some products not safe to use during pregnancy?

My face has gotten ridiculously oily lately. I’m assuming that’s less of a pregnancy symptom and more of a result of coming off birth control

macygrathwol

I have acne flare ups.. fatigue everyday... pregnancy brain moments.. very mild cramps every so often.. and nausea when I’m either really hungry or full. Not too bad so far... but I’m knocking on wood! 6 weeks tomorrow !

busymommy23

Extreme irritability is definitely an issue tonight. Everyone, everything is annoying the crap out of me. Maybe I should just go to bed....better yet, maybe they should all go to bed instead.......

@zombiehoohaa we have the same exact ones at target here except they are called preggie pops same packaging just different name weird! 

acunamatada

@ashbub714 there are some studies that say to avoid products with salicylic acid during pregnancy. OTC topical products are really very low risk, only a minuscule amount is absorbed through your skin but many people avoid these products just to be safe.

Oh gotcha! I didn’t realize that. I use an OTC cleanser with salicylic acid about twice a week. Maybe I’ll cut back to once. I’m just trying to keep this oil under control

Have you tried them? If so, your thoughts? The banana one was better than the ginger, although I thought it was lemon because it was yellow...need to read the packaging /forehead meet hand/

My nausea hit tonight while my DD was eating cheese beside me. She asked if i wanted to cuddle and I almost barfed. I’m super bloated and have heartburn really early this pregnancy.

indulgentgypsy

OMG. My skin didn't look this bad when I was an actual teenage girl. I just turned 40 Friday. Peeing, bloating, sore boobs, rage, general "meh" feeling. Weird circulation crap causing my hands to go numb. And the mustard I put on my burger tonight was too spicy. The French's yellow mustard... -_- 

SmashJam

@lindsayleigh1989 I love preggie pop drops! I can't find them anywhere here so I just have to get 'em on Amazon. What section are they in in Target? The baby section or the pharmacy area?

Also yesterday, I had no symptoms, except tummy wonk after I ate leftover potatoes covered in sausage gravy for breakfast (I need to go to the store, lol). I was a bit worried, but was active most of the day so I am gonna go ahead and stick with the idea that that keeps the nausea at bay for me! Other than that, I also have the abdominal soreness @pretzellover, I have had it since before my BFP, and the crazy thirst! I wake up with dry mouth like whoa. 

ETA: my own symptoms!

stillziggysmom

@izzyp25 witch hazel has been the only thing to make a dent in my pregnancy acne. 

izzyp25

@d_marie_23 thanks! I will try that

Duckie678

@breekehoe same with the heartburn! It was one of the reasons I tested, because I only had it when pregnant.
Nausea here too, damn sinus infection, and my boobs are bigger and tender. Pregnancy brain is already starting. I put toothpaste in the fridge last night. Some bloat, not much. And peeing every 45 minutes.

MyBell524

It hit me all at once.  Nausea all throughout the day.  Especially when I eat, but i know better this time, so force feed through it.  If ya go without it just makes it worse.  Gasy, bloated like crazy!  Even my toddler who doesnt know Im preggers yet, kept pushing my belly yesterday saying "big big and bigger!"  Which made me feel greeeeat. Haha.  Its not preggy belly yet, just look fat.  Im so so tired but then lay down at midnight and cant sleep. Wake up in the morning feeling like I got hit by a bus.  Haha.  And yes, i could use some cheese to go along with this Wine but Im lactose intolerant and would probably make me feel worse ;b

Thank God Im telling family on thanksgiving cuz I do not want to try and explain away all the aweful symptoms or why just thinking of a big table full of food makes me want to puke.
