@lifeofboggs am pretty sure second trimester glow is a myth at this point! Also apparently a myth: Second trimester magical energy; Second trimester cessation of morning sickness. I guess it will feel all the sweeter when it eventually settles and things feel better.
Browsing cute baby outfits seems to help with distracting from any/all symptoms though. It's also interesting to read about everyone's random symptoms because there's a whole lot of bingo card in these threads still left for me to cross off (e.g. no itchy nipples yet)
This weekend was awful. I spent the entire time in bed and all of Saturday night puking. I don’t usually puke. Has anyone had nausea/puking with weaning? My LO has abruptly decided he doesn’t want to nurse anyone and I was thinking maybe the weaning hormones + pregnancy = puke party? I’m so tired of being nauseous sick and getting over puking.
I went for my early 3hr GTT today, and didn't even make it 10 minutes before vomiting I feel like such a failure. I sincerely hope they don't make me try it again. I'm going to be jittery all day.
@cass06_07 I craved plain bagels with plain cream cheese in during the first tri, but I haven’t had any strong cravings since. With DD, I craved mini wheats during the entire pregnancy.
I have more aversions than cravings. I couldn't eat enough chipotle with my other pregnancies. This time just thinking about it makes my stomach do flops.
No strong cravings and I'm a bit disappointed! but I definitely have my go-to, always-feel-right foods: cheerios, bagels (with butter or peanut butter), plain chips. And I've been enjoying fruit a lot more than I normally do. It's like the flavours are more pronounced.
I hate how I’m only able to stomach junk food. The fruit I ate last night came right back up, can’t even finish more than a bite of salmon due to a really strong aversion, but Doritos? Goes down and stays down. I guess this baby is already taking after its dad re: eating preferences.
Tfw you're in the middle of your first real poop of the last 24 hours, and you're too committed at this point to stop, but it's slow going and you have a meeting in 10 minutes. That was my afternoon. But hey, I pooped! #blessed
@allthingsgo, actually maybe theyre the cause of my runs? .. nahh im convinced it was the probiotics which i havent taken since friday. But alas i still have them Doo doo doo
I am craving cucumber soaked in vinegar, literally the only thing I don’t have an aversion too. Also craving a subway ham sub but I’m too worried about listeria
I’m craving Reese’s like crazy. And qdoba chips and queso. And poutine, which I’ve never actually tasted but I can’t stop fantasizing about. @kayjay44 may have sexy dreams about John Travolta, mine are about theoretical poutine.

It's dreamy, I promise. Good curd cheese is like nothing else! Sadly around here I can only get sub-optimal poutine.
@kayjay44 I'm so sorry you're still puking You are such a trooper about it.
Poutine is my favorite food - it’s hard to find the good stuff here so we usually make our own. I miss Canada sometimes. I also miss getting a side of gravy for fries.
...well not even Doritos are staying down today. I had some in leu of dinner because I couldn't face the smell of anything cooking. Good thing I didn't waste any nutritious food I guess!
@becks_726@lifeislove87 I went to school in Wisconsin, so I've got a handle on good cheese curds. I think my fascination is with the combination of 3 foods I love. Maybe I'll make some this weekend and see how it goes lol.
@hnbergeron - that’s my issue - if it’s not good old morning sickness, it’s heartburn causing my nausea. Usually I get a break for a bit before my heartburn kicks in (I have major lower esophageal problems and a hotel hernia), but this time it’s overlapped with my MS.

@notthecheat Oh, it's the headaches that are driving me crazy right now too. I know that a part of the cause is that I am not drinking enough water, but I just can't make myself drink more.
Ugh I’m so sorry all of you who are still nauseous and puking! Hoping it ends soon or at least gets better so you can keep food down!
I’m a back sleeper but it is no longer comfortable to sleep that way so I have to alternate sides. This makes my hips ache even with a pillow between my legs. So I’m not getting much sleep lately which sucks!
Oh no @hnbergeron! Just when you think it’s done, it comes back. And I’m sorry you’re still puking too @kayjay44.
Since I had a terrible puking day yesterday I decided to try Unisom again last night. I am so groggy this morning, but not as nauseous, just a little queasy. I’ll take the sleepiness over nausea, I just can’t deal with throwing up anymore. Time to suffer through three more work days and then sleep the entire holiday weekend.

The unwanted sex dreams - some of them are great. The one I had last night with old ass John Travolta - I could have done without.

My eyeballs are dry as an arid desert all day and night, even with my fancy eye drops. It’s torture.
Also, fuck insomnia.
