What symptoms are you suffering from this week?

fantasticmrsfox

Officially diagnosed with HG and it’s taking over my life   Spent a few hours at the hospital on thanksgiving getting fluids and Zofran. Anyone else been diagnosed?

dinodna3

@fantasticmrsfox Oh man, I’m sorry. Hope the coming weeks bring you some relief. 

My allergies are going crazy and all the sneezing is making a hard for me to not pee my pants. Kegels are my bff right now. 

Austenista

Yes. Sneezing/snissing/peeing constantly. I probably got up to pee 1/2 a dozen times last night.

Seriously this bloat is out of control. Last night I looked six months pregnant with this painful, distended stomach. Probiotics, eating an apple and drinking some ginger tea only made the smallest of dents. Every fart felt like a monumental achievement. I don’t even understand wtf was going on because I had three solid poops yesterday. Feeling a little better today but damn, still not excellent. Wahhhhhh

My nipples itch today.
This is going to be fun!

I'm feeling a very slight discomfort when I have to pee, but no pain or urgency when I actually do so. So slight that it's barely noticeable and I may just be paranoid. Just sent sweet husband to the store for a home UTI test and cranberry juice (the no sugar, fancy, glass bottle kind). Sort of panicking, but also just had a urine test that was clear a little over a week ago, so if I do have a UTI, it's not super old.

Someone tell me I'm going to be entirely fine?? Will call the doctor first thing tomorrow if the test is positive or if the feeling gets any worse.

fantasticmrsfox

Thanks @dinodna3

@ashleymar1e I’ve been dealing with an ongoing UTI for almost my entire pregnancy so far. It was found during my initial Nurses intake appt and I was put on a round of antibiotics. It’s definitely still there and I’ve been drinking cranberry juice and water. They will do another cultural check at my next appt. Definitely call your doc tomorrow. They’ll prolly have you come in, but better to know now than later.  Nothing to stress about yet! Hope you feel better. 

ashleymar1e

@sunshineandwhiskey thank you!! The home test for nitrites came up entirely negative and now I'm thinking I'm just paranoid and what I was feeling was just normal pregnancy stuff. I suppose there's no harm in calling tomorrow and peeing in a cup for some reassurance.

@fantasticmrsfox I can't imagine how crappy that must be. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I hope it gets better soon!!

sunshineandwhiskey

@fantasticmrsfox ugh I’m so sorry  I hope you get some relief soon

fantasticmrsfox

Thanks @sunshineandwhiskey and @ashleymar1e !
i keep reminding myself I’ve only got 4 weeks left of 1st tri

@izza2 I have also recently discovered the "nipple itch" symptom. At first I thought maybe they were dry so I loaded my boobs up with lotion but it didn't stop the itch. In addition to an occasional nipple itch, I'm also having intermittent back pain (likely due to sitting all day at my desk job) and I'm having severe cravings for Mexican food - typically burritos. Still no MS, but sore breasts and fatigue continues.

Lately I’ve been having bad nausea in the evening. Brushing my teeth, hunger or even drinking water makes me feel sick. I even had to buy the kid’s toothpaste because my mint flavored one made me gag. Hoping next week is better.

katie121209

I'm 12.5 weeks and in the past 10 days my boobs have grown massive. I'm up a cup and band size. I was already fairly large so now I just feel like it looks bad please no more growing bigger!!

lisa2589

I woke up with a charlie horse in my leg, I never get these when I’m not pregnant!

ffw0617

OMG I have never been in so much physical pain in my life. I believe my stomach muscles have separated. I started feeling a heaviness on Saturday, and yesterday I couldn't get out of bed without screaming. Everything from my breast to hips hurt its a soreness I've never experienced. I can't walk or stand up straight. Anything short of sitting perfectly still or laying perfectly still is painful. I'm calling my doctor now to see what I should do.

doxiemoxie212

@ffw0617 do you mean you believe you have diastasis recti? I thought that wasn't something I had to worry about until, like, waaaaaay later? Like when my stomach is giant? 

ffw0617

@doxiemoxie212 its possible that's it. Not sure if I mentioned this outside of the intro but I'm a certified pole instructor, and while I'm not currently teaching while pregnant, this could very well be an injury I sustain during my many years of training being exacerbated. I'm not sure. But I hope there is a remedy bc I don't know how long I can manage.

dinodna3

@ffw0617 Hope you can get into the doctors and get some relief! That sounds miserable. 

llamamama14

@fantasticmrsfox That sucks, I'm sorry.  
@doxiemoxie212 I too look super pregnant at night despite regular bowel movements.  Hormones just take over and slow everything down. I just roll around on the couch watching tv waiting to fart. (Pregnancy is so beautiful.)

ffw0617

@dinodna3 I talked to my OB she seems to think its gas, and told me to take gas X. I've had gas before and its always felt in you back never my front and never this high up. That also doesn't explain the sore feeling. But she said if the gas X doesn't help then to call back.

doxiemoxie212

@ffw0617 my gas right now is all in front, and it is higher up since my organs have shifted as my uterus grows. I think your OB is likely correct. (Also ever since I got pregnant, my abs have been slightly sore despite a lack of use. I googled and this seems to be common.)

ffw0617

@doxiemoxie212 at this point its all I can do is hope she's right. I'm hurting and I just want to go home.

lovetakesworkman

@doxiemoxie212 I just started recognizing this as a symptom today. This past week even the smallest stretch makes my abs feel like I did 200 crunches the day before. And I definitely have not done crunches in like months....

@ffw0617 I hope it’s just gas and passes quickly! I took 2 years of pole classes, but when I moved to a new city I couldn’t find my new pole gym. So I’m hoping it is not DR and you can easily get back to teaching

kittiesandcoffee

Back pain, nausea, gas, and so freaking tired. Also, boob cheese is here. So that's nice. 

ffw0617

@lovetakesworkman me too. I feel slightly better today but not much. It could be a combination of things maybe

May14th2011

@lisa2589 Oh man, I forgot about those! I get them too, usually in 2nd and 3rd trimester. It's the worst pain of my life. I wake DH up screaming, because it always happens at night. Then I hobble around for the next day because my leg hurts so bad. Babies really are so cute they make you forget the bad parts 

I thought morning sickness was easing off, but it's back with a vengeance and I'm puking multiple times a day. My own deodorant makes me puke.. ugh

Miz_Liz

My latest symptom is I can’t pee at night!  I wake up in the middle of the night (a zillion times) having to pee sooo bad but I can’t go!  I am eventually able to after bending forward and pushing but it is sooo frustrating and uncomfortable.  I had it with DD too but I had blocked it out until now.  I have heard that it can just happen. I am not concerned but I hate it!!  

Austenista

So my MS was waning which was awesome, but since I had to start taking tamiflu for the flu, guess who is enjoying nausea and vomiting again as a side effect?Yay. 

lisa2589

@Miz_Liz I sometimes have to shift around on the toilet seat to finish emptying. It’s really strange that it’s happening already but I remind myself that there is a lemon size something on or near my bladder. I swear my bladder at 13 weeks is already about as bad as it was at 30 weeks the first time around. 

Miz_Liz

@lisa2589 yeah it’s weird to experience so early but *TMI* I think part of it is I have been dealing with constipation too.  Ah the joys!

doxiemoxie212

@lisa2589 baby is the size of a lemon, but your uterus is like a large grapefruit at this point? So that's pretty sizable! 

Miz_Liz

@lisa2589 I had called the nurse at my OB for something else so when she called back I told her about it and she said that it’s probably my uterus shifting and pushing on it.  If it was during the day too they would test for a UTI but it is just night so it’s just another fun symptom!

buffalove1211

Baby 2 @ 11 weeks looks like Baby 1 did @ about 16 weeks.  My bloat is real.

@burneyonboard - Brushing my teeth, and especially my tongue, makes me gap every time.

@katie121209 - My boobs are huge as well!

Edited - tags didnt work.

LaceyBee522

@kittiesandcoffee I've been having horrilbe low back pain, too. Also my abs and obliques are so sore. I keep yawning this afternoon and every time I get a shooting pain. So uncool. 

izza2

Anyone else notice that when they yell, there's an obvious pulling in the lower abdomen?

krash_

@izza2 yes I had sharp pain while yelling at the TV while watching Stranger Things. I went to a football game on Saturday fully expecting it to happen again but it was different. More like sore abs after a workout but lower, not a sharp pain. I asked this last week after a bit of googling and I believe it's just RLP. 

dinodna3

@izza2 Yes! Sometimes when I move to quickly I get a sudden sharp pain on either side of my abdomen. 

LaceyBee522

@izza2 I got that when I yawned!

aharv77

I think I'm finally over my MS just in time to be slammed with a nasty head cold! So. Much. Drainage. Vick's, hot lemon water and Cold Touch Kleenex are my best friends this week. Here's to second tri!
