This didn't go up yesterday and I'm on the struggle bus, so I'm taking initiative. If this is stepping on toes, please let me know.

Re: Symptoms w/o 1/21
Every time I think I'm moving passed the nausea phase, another wave hits me. I have rarely finished a meal in the last two weeks, but am making an effort to eat a variety when I am managing to get something down. Still feeling lucky this is only nausea and nothing more. A new symptom that reared its ugly head this weekend was sciatica pain. I had this for the better part of my last pregnancy and just pushed through it, but with having to bend over for DD now, I think I'm going to need to go to a chiropractor.
I have none of that. Doesn't help that DH and DS haven't done a great job of letting me getting enough sleep, so I'm pretty rage-y and feeling useless too. Fatigue and nausea, and working on my feet with food just isn't a great combination.

@katethemom sores on your gums! You have my sympathy.
@Patience7150 thanks for the translation. I don't have anything to b*tch about, just generally crabby and want to scream and throw things.

@episcowitch @DanyTargaryen Thanks for the sympathy.
@SkilledSailor I'm counting down to the 2nd trimester, too. I remember how much relief I felt last time when all the MS, bloating, acne -- all of the symptoms just seemed to go away.
Car sickness was a biggie this weekend, almost had DH pull over, while my step-son kept asking if I was ok. (We haven't told ANYONE) ....not even parents. That chubby feeling creeping in, even though no one can see anything. Hope you're all doing well.
@meg+on+the+DL Im with you %100.
I'm setting alarms to remind myself to at least snack because it's always so much worse on an empty stomach. I've ordered a big bag of ginger chews that have helped me with being car sick in the past (Chime's brand in case you're wondering). So I'm crossing everything that they give me at least a little relief.
Fatigue is hitting me hard. I am not a napper, and I've found myself nodding off throughout the day.
@SkilledSailor, sorry that you got sick enough to throw up while driving - been there in the past and it's pretty horrible.
As for me, my nausea is pretty much sticking around all day now - no vomiting yet, but it's probably just a matter of time/circumstances. Indigestion, reflux, insomnia, and cramping are also fun little sidebars as well.
I'm really hoping that heartburn doesn't pop up this time. Heartburn is just evil.
It's really hard to keep my rage under control but being so tired does help... Too much energy to get mad. Not too tired to cry at ridiculous things though.

@knitknitread heartburn is no match for Bragg's ACV. I recommend to everyone. Better than Tums and people think you have superpowers for being able to drink it (just be sure to water it down a bit).
I just have excessive gas, which could easily be meal related and not pregnancy related.
Question - at what week did everyone's symptoms start?
@episcowitch I'll keep the Bragg's ACV in mind! I've already got some in my cabinet and I'm a fan of vinegar-y drinks anyway.
On a a side note..my boobs don’t hurt so much anymore..is that normal? They went from very sore to basically not painful at all. I’m 8 weeks today.
A few serious bouts of morning vomitting have hit me like a train recently. Sweats, hard puking and shakes. It's not been fun. I can feel the bulge when I bend but am eager for pregnancy to be more that a bloated flu
At this point it just feels like a sickness I can't tell anyone about!!
With DS, I had all day MS starting around 6.5 weeks. Nauseated all day. Took Zofran and it took the edge off enough to eat a little and stop losing weight.
With DD, I had afternoon and evening MS starting around 7.5 weeks. Took Diclegis and it took the edge off enough for me to get through the day.
This time? All day MS starting at 5+2. Started with Zofran and it made me so constipated I was doubled over in pain because I just needed to poop. Now I’m on Diclegis instead and my body wants to poop but just keeps messing with me.
Kid, give me a break already!
