@hnbergeron that’s crazy! Glad to hear you’re on the mend!!

@hnbergeron oh goodness! That sounds terrible. I’m glad you're Doing better!

@grebretso yuck, I got nosebleeds while vomiting when I was pregnant with DD, it’s miserable 

ohsunnydays

@hnbergeron  glad you are okay, that sounds very scary, hope you continue to have a smooth recovery

hollyvenelle

@hnbergeron hoping for better days ahead! In the mean time, enjoy a little time off to heal!

A faint wee line has appeared under my belly button which is quite exciting, I am a way off having a bump so its nice to have a visual pregnancy thing.

I'm so over having to eat 3+ times a day. Can I go back to when I actually enjoyed food?

Also this constant head congestion/sinus pressure/headaches/post nasal drip can suck a bag of dicks.

Yesterday I was on site and squatted to clean off some paint splatter - when I did, I peed myself. And I had khaki pants. And it was in front of the contractor. Praying it wasn’t noticeable.

I was just coming to mention the peeing. I’m already having to do that weird rocking thing to make sure my bladder is empty before standing up so I don’t pee myself. So glamorous.

Ugh I vomited the other day and peed through my underwear (with a liner on), luckily my office mate (and friend) told me I had a huge spot on my dress before I went out

@kayjay44 i forgot about that wonderful tidbit during pregnancy.

I switched to the gummy style prenatals this week and it has seemed to help calm my stomach and I feel like I have more energy...now I’m 12 weeks along now and it could just be that the 1st trimester symptoms are on there way out or it’s because the other prenatals were not settleing well...either way I’m happy now lol

BourbonBiscuits

@lifeofboggs I switched over to gummy prenatals for this pregnancy and they're SO much better!! Someone recommended the raspberry lemonade flavored ones and they're delicious and don't upset my stomach at all.

lifeofboggs

Oh those actually sound yummy.  They need to make every medication in a gummy form it’s so much easier to take!

madreofdragons

Yep. I switched to the raspberry lemonade ones too. The Smarty Pants ones destroyed my gut.

Target Gummy Prenatals are life.

@madreofdragons and @BourbonBiscuits Where are y'all getting these magical raspberry lemonade gummies?! Mine are sickly sweet and make me gag.

madreofdragons

I get mine at Target. 

hannahbananas11

@madreofdragons Excellent! Yet another excuse to go to Target!

okayestmom12

So. Much. Heartburn. My esophagus is constantly on fire and I’m OVER IT. I had pretty intense heartburn with my older two but this seems so intense, so soon. 

BourbonBiscuits

@madreofdragons @hannahbananas11 same. And they’re so good. I used to have some nasty citrus ones but these are delicious and soft

kayjay44

My third pregnancy on raspberry lemonade gummies. I even have taken them not pregnant.

I thought I was seeing a line too, turns out it was the indentation from the seam on my too-tight leggings. Whoops!

I am getting crazy visible veins though, especially on my upper thighs. I'm very pale so my skin is pretty much see through already, but these veins are on a whole different level.

madreofdragons

You can get varicose veins in weird places @grebretso. Be warned! Somebody in D14 had a painful one in her vag if I remember correctly. 

etnyah

Oh jeez. Hopefully it won't go that far! I should probably try to be more active now that I'm feeling a little better too, I've pretty much been sitting on my ass for two months. 

lokibear89

@grebretso Haha I did wait to show DH until after I had been hanging out in my dressing gown for a while, my first thought was is it an indent? Also I am pretty veiney anyway but my boobs are ridiculous 

lifeofboggs

The veins will go back to the normal color and visablitly after pregnancy don’t worry! 
My boobs always get horrendous with the veins!

also I have a cold sore for the first time in years which sucks.  Not only am I breaking out like a 15 year old but now this...this pregencafy is really taking a hit on my self confidence and just making me feel gross.

Omie_Wise

My nausea has come back this week. I feel super sick after every meal. I’m hoping this is just the last hurrah. The second trimester is so close. 

notthecheat

The fatigue has been at its worst this week. I thought it was supposed to be getting better at this point?? Trying to stay awake at work has been so difficult.

Also got my first yeast infection this pregnancy. Womp womp.

Fucking insomnia.

SAME. It’s pretty much making me crankier by the day and I’m fucking over it. 

I’m also having quite a bit of pressure in my lower abdomen which is pretty uncomfortable. And after my colleague’s very late loss it’s even harder not to panic about every little twinge and discomfort. 

kayjay44

@megpants209 the crampy pressure is normal at 12-14 weeks. I’m going through it right now and it blows. 

megpants209

@kayjay44 and honestly it feels normal! Just crazy brain in overdrive

I'm so tired of puking. 2nd tri needs to start like right now. Although I'm not holding my breath for that to help either. This is my 3rd hg pregnancy and my first two didn't let up until 26 and 18 weeks. We leave for our family vacation on Tuesday and I'm dreading it so much already. Unless I magically wake up feeling great on Monday it's going to be a long trip.

kayjay44

Fucking RLP. Someone just actually stab me because that would be more bearable. 

notthecheat

I just want to give hugs and sympathies to everyone. Pregnancy is hard. 

allthingsgo

@notthecheat so true. Pregnancy pretty much sucks. At least there’s a cute baby to snuggle at the end of it all 

lokibear89

Ruddy neck spasm from picking up my bag this morning, paracetamol is barely gonna touch this so going to be a fun day at work.

okayestmom12

I am over waking up every 30 minutes overnight. It’s gross. 

And the heartburn. 

And the cramps/ twinges. 

So much glamour. 

lifeislove87

I threw up about 14 times today, can’t keep anything down, ugh. On the bright side baby is wiggling up a storm and I love it

notthecheat

Midwife called. UTI didn't completely clear. So more antibiotics. She told me to just go ahead and stock up on the miconazole while I'm at it.
