Symptoms - Week of 6/24

becks_726

I'm with you on the zits @madreofdragons. I thought it would be the least of my concerns but it's surprisingly irritating. S+TMs who've had pregnancy acne, does it last the whole time? 

JEMN

I already have milk. Nipples were crusty so I used my hand to test and sure enough for a few drops of milk. I stopped breastfeeding my son 6 months ago and was definitely dried up but I guess my body remembers

@becks_726 If I remember correctly, the acne I had with my son cleared up around 10 weeks.

madreofdragons

@becks_726 mine went away by the end of first tri last time.

5w3d....Tired. When I was pregnant with DS I remember thinking how hard it would be to be pregnant with a toddler. It is, it is very hard. He is also begging to spend the entire day outside in the Southern humidity and heat. I’ve still got a lot of acne. My skin is just super oily, which has never happened. I’m also having some huge mood swings. I rage cleaned the house this morning.

@ruby62 and @madreofdragons, you give me hope! I can handle that...

@becks_726 - I’ll be the buzz kill. I had horrible back-ne (acne on my back - vom!) my entire pregnancy with my DD.  

becks_726

@okayestmom12 got that too but if only one of the two is going to stick around for 9 months, I'll take the back-ne.

@becks_726 - Mine lasts the whole time and goes away PP. I don't normally have acne when not pregnant.

becks_726

Darn, @kayjay44... I guess I better get used to it in case that's my reality too. 

kayjay44

@becks_726 - I have to up my skincare routine during pregnancy - this being the third time, I kind of have it down and I've got it at least mildly under control. I get cystic acne when pregnant and it's the worst.

My kid drew me with all my “pipples” this morning. Even put my first initial on it.

Kids, man. Sometimes they are TOO honest.

madreofdragons

And she told me how big my tummy is today.

Today I’m either puking my brains out or crying because I have so many emotions I can’t control myself. I gotta pull myself together here 

lauriebream

@madreofdragons I’m dying, that’s amazing.

okayestmom12

I cried tonight when my 6 y/o told me I was pretty. 

Chill out, emotions. We’ve got a long road ahead.

I’m back on the unisom + B6 train and crossing my fingers that it helps. My job does not lend itself to me disappearing to the bathroom several times a day.. and it REALLY doesn’t help that my 2yo likely has effing rotavirus (has been pooping pretty much straight liquid since Thursday.. and if you’ve ever smelled it.. you know).   

kayjay44

Damn @cmjenkies. I’m sorry - rotavirus is the WORST.

I can’t take unisom during the day and I’m jealous of anyone who can. Even half of one fucks me up.

It’s SO awful. I’ve changed more diapers this weekend than I have in the last month. Poor little duck. 

Ive only ever taken it at night, but I’m going to try going halfsies on one tomorrow with half of a B6 and see what happens.

Not sure if necessary, but JIC- *TW* for graphic description

Come TF on, pregnancy nightmares, already?? Last night it was huge worms/small snakes slithering through my circulatory system and eating their way out of my skin.

Can't wait for tonight!

7w4d: Tired. Crazy food aversions. Nipples HURT! (Anyone else hate rolling over in bed because OW!?) My acne is still an issue but I've noticed my masks help a lot. My stomach is a bottomless pit. It takes me an hour to get out of bed in the morning because of nausea. (I work nights, which I'm very grateful for) No vomiting.

I wasn't going to share anything tonight because my symptoms haven't changed, until just now... I just got spotting for the first time tonight. Of course it's put me on edge. (H, too) Its just a little and it's dark. I know it's normal. I have my first US appt tomorrow morning, so I'm looking forward to getting good news (good HB!) I have had cramping a lot since I found out I was pregnant but it just comes at night and lasts about 5 minutes. I haven't had cramping since Thursday night. I'm hoping the bleeding stops.   

kayjay44

@notthecheat - I too often dream about my college boyfriend while pregnant - the emotionally abusive asshole who cheated on me. I HATE IT. 

ruby696

@saraloveschunk Good luck with your US today!

BourbonBiscuits

@kayjay44 are we the same person? I dream about my emotionally abusive asshole ex from college when pregnant too! It's horrific.

I probably slept a grand total of an hour and a half last night. My girlfriends and I went out and had drinks (mocktails for me and my bff who is pregnant too) because we were craving zucchini fries at this bar. So I already got home late and then laid in bed staring at the ceiling for like 4 hours, just could not fall asleep to save my life. UGHHHH. Dying for some coffee today.

kayjay44

Anti barfing supplies acquired. Please don't let me puke at work today.

becks_726

The unrelenting hunger is back except this time around I'm paranoid about the hunger making me nauseous. I don't wanna eat, dammit! 

Evergreenmist

I'm 7w3 days and just basically dealing with exhaustion and sore boobs (and way bigger already... how big are they supposed to get?!). I'm also SO hungry in the mornings. Dinner I have less of an appetite than usual which makes no sense to me. Also not a great symptom as I'm on pelvic rest from my subchorionic hematoma so I've gone from running 80K a week to legit doing nothing. Ah, I am sad for you, expanding body. 

@kayjay44 That suuuucks. I am (blessedly) not getting any nausea so I can't even imagine. Hoping that you can work from home? 

@Erinm278 Me too! Big boobs happened so fast... like, wtf? They were super sore last week and this week they're still tender but not as bad. 

@s@saraloveschunk Good luck with the u/s today! I've had all of the spotting and cramping so I feel your pain/stress. Great to have an u/s scheduled right away so you can get good news. 

@kayjay44 Hope the nausea is better! Hilariously, I'm gagging just looking at those oyster crackers cause I'm allergic! LOL. To each their own

*edited cause the app cut me off

littlepeanutnumber3

6+4 today. Been super nauseous. And getting CARSICK! That's a new one for me. Bloating and acne. And I'm sooooo tired, 3:30 rolls around and I'm ready for a nap. I have two kids 3 and under, so that ain't happening. Ready for first trimester to be over already. 

madreofdragons

Same @becks_726. I’m not an early breakfast person but I have to right now. 

kayjay44

@Evergreenmist - Normally I would feel ok about it, but it's our second busiest time of year. I threw up before I left home but haven't since! 

As for the boobs, wait until you have porn star nursing boobs. It's cray.

antera23

@littlepeanutnumber3 I’m carsick also! I have never experienced car sickness before. Is yours just when you’re a passenger? Mine is even when I’m driving, lol. 

littlepeanutnumber3

@antera23 So far only when I'm a passenger. Never had this happen before! Kinda sucks since I have a two week road trip coming up. How do you cope with it while driving? I don't think I'd ever leave my house   

AshleySparkle720

I experience hyperemesis with every pregnancy and I can feel it creeping up. I barely have the energy to get off the couch much less to fix my kids decent meals. After my betas were in good standing I made a couple freezer meals and i couldn't be more proud of myself for doing so. My kids wouldn't be getting more than pb&j if I didn't do that. Nothing wrong if that is your reality right now by the way!

annieisnervous

I feel like I have every single symptom possible: insomnia, acid reflux, uncontrollable gas (luckily I work from home), headaches, sore boobs, cramps, nausea and constant peeing. Tell me if goes away... please?! 

LuLiLaEv

I am so sick today. Currently hiding in the bathroom at work. I wish I was home asleep. 

smm1118

6+3 today and I yo-yo from feeling like I want to puke to being starving. It’s the worst. When I do eat, I feel terrible. But at least I’m craving fruits and veggies so I’m eating healthier than normal. I’m also so freaking exhausted. I don’t remember being this tired when I was pregnant with DS, but I definitely had the nausea. 

@saraloveschunk I also dread rolling over in bed or coughing because it hurts! I thought it was early for RLP but I don’t know what else it would be. 

kayjay44

I'm trying not to cry or lose my shit over stupid stuff at work - which is hard when you work with a sales team. I'm not someone who gets emotional at work, so this sucks.

JEMN

5+4 and the nausea hit me hard today. Haven’t been able to get up off the couch except to run to the bathroom. 

i was sick the entire pregnancy with my first and I’m so scared of being sick for the next 8 months
