Re: Symptoms - Week of 8/5-8/11
*TW Didn't help that I had a miscarriage dream last night. I'm sure it's just a manifestation of my worry and nothing related to my physical condition. *TW
2 weeks until my next appointment. Just trying to stay feeling positive!
I still feel great in the mornings and super gross in the afternoon and all night. Nausea hits after eating lunch so I've tried stick to blander type foods but not really sure it matters. My boobs are definitely getting bigger... I thought it would be way too early for that?
AFM the nausea and exhaustion don’t seem to be going any where.
Hope everyone is well!
Other than the above, has anyone else has a dramatic increase in their sex drive? Like omg....of course it's not helping my current situation!

Ugh, also I feel like I have had little patience with my daughter due to being tired and her super independent, strong-willed personality. Any tips on how to stay calm with her? I really need to stop yelling and keep my cool, feeling sad about that today.
and I hear ya with trying to keep cool with the kiddos. I’m definitely more irritated and crabby with this pregnancy. I try to remind myself that she’s not giving me a hard time, she’s having a hard time. And many times I have to tell myself to stay safe and give myself a time out to calm down. And forgive yourself when you DO have a freak out (we all do!) and try to do better next time. If you have Instragram you should follow simplyonpurpose. She’s all about positive parenting and many of her techniques have saved me... especially now that I’m hormonal and pregnant! Hang in there mama!!
@JLaVO888 I started back today and actually did okay! But I did start zofran recently and I’m still hardly eating anything.
I genuinely don't think it's an infection. It feels the same as my period cramps, just worse, and I had it albeit not near so bad during my last pregnancy. For now, I'm just going to wait it out. Talk to my H tonight and see what he thinks. I would also like for him to be back before doing anything. I also haven't done any paperwork with my insurance for this pregnancy yet, and I have one piece in particular I need to take care of before any prenatal bills are submitted. So I'd like to get it done before doing anything as well. Obviously, if I really think something's wrong, that wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't at this point. It's just seriously annoying and makes me want to do nothing but sit or lie around all day.
ETA words.
So I just started doing the home remedy version of Diclegis: starting w the B-6 vitamin and if that doesn’t work then will cautiously add the Unisom. Praying it starts working soon!
New symptom for me: just had my first nosebleed in forever. Luckily, just a slight bleed.
I also drink a cup of hot water with lemon and eat 4 prunes before I eat breakfast every morning. Not sure how much it helps but it has become my preggo morning routine.
I hope you get some relief soon. It’s soooooo uncomfortable!
