My sex dreams are out of control. Every time I go to sleep, it’s basically porn.

Last night I dreamt that my old roommate and I we're living in a run down trailer in a ghost town trailer park and had a creepy landlord. There was a large mound of dirt outside our door that was particularly troubling for some reason...

I've been having insomnia for the past 5 nights. At first I thought it was because of work stress - the first night I woke up extremely pissed at my supervisor. But now it just seems to be routine. It's frustrating!

Have you tried Unisom? It works well for me until the end of pregnancy when my insomnia is insane (like taking ambien and not sleeping insane).

I can’t sleep either. And by that I mean I’m exhausted and in bed at 8:30, then up and down all night long, then need two naps the next day to balance it out. Sooooo maybe it’s a little self-inflicted.

Also, the rumbling in my stomach just reminded me that I haven’t pooped since what we now refer to as The Incident (when I was trapped on the toilet peeing out my butt for 40 minutes). Which is a blessing and a curse.

@BourbonBiscuits - are SURE it’s not a worm?

BourbonBiscuits

@kayjay44 I mean ... it could be worm. Will report back once it passes.

Feeling uncomfortable sleeping on my stomach already...like weirdly achy...interesting.  Also having WILD dreams.

catwoman8731

@danixbanani24 me too! I’ve always been a stomach sleeper - can’t sleep at all on my back, and on my side it works for a few hours but then I toss and turn back to my stomach. It didn’t bother me last pregnancy until I was significantly larger, like 34 weeks or something later on like that. But I’ve been having this issue for a few weeks now (I’m almost 11 weeks now), where I wake up with my lower back incredibly sore if I sleep on my stomach. 

danixbanani24

@catwoman8731 oh wow!!! You made it a longggg time on your belly!  My first I think I stopped around 18 weeks or so.  This time around it’s so weird! I’m 11w too...I got my snoogle our of storage and it helps but I sure do miss sleeping on my stomach.

becks_726

@kayjay44 if this persists I'll definitely ask my doctor about it. Thanks for the heads up!

lifeofboggs

@kayjay44 I second the porn dreams!  Except mine are weird and about the last tv show I watched for example last night was about dean from supernatural (not a bad thing lol) but sometimes it can get weird lol

Up until yesterday I had been feeling pretty run down, chronic low grade nausea (that feeling where you can’t decide if you’re hungry or nauseated) and sore boobs. Woke up yesterday and eerily felt “normal”. No severe cramping or spotting but I’m so concerned about a missed miscarriage. I’m going in for my first ultrasound on Tuesday where I should be 7w5d. Fx!

I find I’m up at 2am-4am if I go to bed too early. Even though I’m ready by 730, i need to stay up until minimum 930 even 10 and I sleep the night. Anything before that I’m up all night. Its a Struggle but worth it.

@kayjay44 not worm. DEFINITELY not worm. My toddler can confirm, as parenthood means never pooping alone.

Even if my kids aren’t here/around, the dogs are in the bathroom. I feel you. The bathroom at work is my safe space because no one comes in with me. 

hannahbananas11

@sweetcaroline89 I felt the same "normal" feeling on Friday after weeks of sore books and nausea, and was also concerned. The next day, I puked up dinner. So, it may very well come back with a vengeance. But if it doesn't, that's still very normal. I'm hoping that your appointment is reassuring!

sweetcaroline89

Thanks @hannahbananas11 that’s reassuring! I’m trying to just be grateful that I had a weekend free of nausea!

Is anyone else really struggling with body image issues? I feel really stupid for even caring about what my blump looks like. It's really just not important. But knowing that doesn't stop me from being bothered. In the past I've struggled with disordered eating and I still have a tendency to use dieting as a (dysfunctional) coping mechanism in times of stress. These days, I have absolutely no capacity to control what I do and don't put in my mouth. It makes me feel really powerless.

wifemomme

@jessier19 This is the hardest time for me as far as body image is concerned. It always seems to get better for me when I am obviously pregnant. I like people knowing that I am pregnant and not wondering if I just ate too much. 

kayjay44

I just had the worst bowel movement of my entire life and now I’m spotting. Fucking great. 

etnyah

I'm sorry @kayjay44. My spotting was always at the worst during bowel movements, made me terrified to go to the bathroom. Hopefully it'll stop soon! 

kayjay44

I’m hoping it’s just cervical bleeding because it was so immediate. 

etnyah

I bet it is. Either way I hope it stops!

BourbonBiscuits

@kayjay44 when I was pregnant with my first I had an earth shattering poop and had some spotting after. It was really scary, but it was just when I wiped that one time. Fingers crossed that’s all it is for you too ❤️

febmum

I've been mild but regular cramping for about 36 hours. Fortunately no spotting so far. Way to freak your mum out, peanut.

mindgrapes08

@febmum same here. Heavy, consistent cramping right in the middle of my lower abdomen. No spotting, so I guess it's normal? Just pretty uncomfortable.   

febmum

@mindgrapes08 my usual pre-pregnant way of dealing with cramps was a glass of wine, which is just not going to be an option here   hope you feel comfier soon

Finally got an actual FHR reading rather than just hearing it! 152, going strong!

Y’all. The past few nights I’ve had these savage headaches. I take tylenol and I know I’m super hydrated, but the only thing that helps is laying in darkness with a fan blowing on me. Ughhhhh

lzzfrancisco

@BourbonBiscuits I'm dealing with the same tonight, although I'm not sure how hydrated I am. It's miserable .

kayjay44

Also massive headaches. And it’s hot as balls which isn’t helping and I’m peeing clear so I’m hydrated. 

madreofdragons

I am so tired of getting up to pee at night already.

okayestmom12

I’m just so tired. And the nausea is kicking my ass the past few days. I have to constantly eat to help but then I eat and feel gross. Vicious ass cycle. 

Venessa88

These last few days I was having a lot less nausea and actually felt like I was starting to feel normal again. This morning has proved this wrong and I'm nauseous to the point I can barely function and get ready for work. Should be a fun Monday. 

conchispita

@BourbonBiscuits I've had headaches non-stop since Friday. Went to bed at 8pm last night but I don't think that helped much...

Has anyone had kidney stones while pregnant?  I had some lower back pain last night and started to worry since I hardly have drunk any water in weeks, and all I can stomach is Pepsi...

lifeislove87

@conchispita it sounds like you may be dehydrated, can you stomach something like Gatorade, coconut water or another electrolyte replacement? Hopefully it’s not a kidney stone, are you prone to them?

BourbonBiscuits

@izzfrancisco @conchispita @kayjay44 I think I’m gonna supplement in some Gatorade today and see if that helps. Luckily it doesn’t come on until after my little guy goes to bed

lzzfrancisco

Not sure if this should be a question or a symptom.. Is anyone else getting really hairy!? I'm pretty sure I'm growing new eyelashes, like in the inner corner of much eye. And I'm pretty sure I'm getting more on my face hair below my side burn area.  Wtf!? Not to mention how fast my leg and pit hair is growing!
