So I'm a teacher who's had off for the summer. Had to commute in for a workshop today and dear God, the NAUSEA! Walking, the heat, the train, all made me feel so queasy. I'm sitting here drinking a ginger ale at 9 AM to try and keep it together!
Yesterday I was cleaning my fridge and every time I bent over to grab something, I gagged. Mind you, I’m no longer nauseous. I just gag! I gag after sneezing, coughing, laughing, eating, drinking, and smiling. It’s so bizarre.
Edited to add: this is super off topic, but sometimes I feel badly for not responding to y’all! I will seriously go through every single new post, go to reply to them and then lose energy/forget what I was going to say/etc. I’m just going to start aggressively clicking “love it” on everyone’s posts from now on. (The pre baby guilt is real and this is just one of the many things I’ve felt bad about today!!)
I feel the same way! I want to tag everyone with a response, but sometimes it's too hard to remember what I was going to say to everyone lol.
I also am gagging - gagging when I brush my teeth, gagging when I prepare food, gagging when I need to poop (sorry for the TMI), etc. No dry heaving or puking. Just gagging!
Also, I'm starting to have some very mild pressure/cramping and this morning I had very light pink/brown discharge. It hasn't continued but it freaked me out because I have had zero spotting. I emailed my doc but only bc I'm paranoid. I think this is fairly common. I'm 7w5d and I read that the uterus is really starting to stretch now so pressure is common. Anyone else having very mild spotting?
@rennie1108 **TMI** I had one glob, maybe finger nail sized of brown tinged discharge the other day. I told myself if there was more I would call and I haven't had any since - I was 7w even at the time, so I'm trying to not worry. Hopefully it's nothing for you!
@mrdcle@rennie1108 from what I've read/been told, unless you're filling a pad every two hours and/or having pain/cramping along with it, you're very likely fine. First tri spotting/bleeding is common It is a total mindf**k though.
I'm still having a teeny, tiny little bit of spotting from sex a few days ago, and with all the increased bloodflow down there, it's not surprising.
I am also turned off by water this pregnancy, which is something completely new to me. I've had to force myself to drink it- and I'm not drinking nearly as much as before I got pregnant
That happened last pregnancy and this one for me.
Everyone isnposting about this. What really helped me is eating ice. Like, super thawed and crunchy ice. Or Chick-fil-A ice. It made the difference for me. I ate like 5 water bottles of ice a day. Right now I can do water after 4 for aome reason but before that it’s problematic.
threw up for the first time this morning even though I've had some nausea before now. It was brutal this morning. luckily i felt way better afterwards. to compensate, I just ate an entire frozen pizza for lunch. whoops. I just feel insanely bloated today too... surprisingly less so after the pizza lol.
Also, this is totally TMI - but since I've already had a baby and everything makes me pee a little, does anyone else have an issue with peeing their pants when they throw up? Anyone found a good solution? I should probably do some kegels.
I’ve been having dark brown spotting since this morning. My last pregnancy ended in a MMC and my anxiety is super high. Cramping is no worse than it has been all along, so I’m just going to wait and see for now and call my doc if it gets worse. Trying to stay positive, since there’s not much I can do at this point. But ugh, the wait and worry just blows.
Just random tan tan and pink intermittently for now but it definitely makes me nervous. I’m only 5+6 with our first, so my first appointment isn’t for almost a month.
It didnt help that I had a nightmare last night about bright red bleeding too

One time last pregnancy I couldn't stop puking and peed a little pee puddle onto the ground since I had ALREADY peed my pants and taken those off. DH found me sobbing on the floor cleaning up the pee and I couldn't even get out that the I was crying more since I peed than from all the puking. This was closer to the end though...no vomit yet...just a lot of gagging.
@chelseay416 SO much TMI - be prepared. In my last pregnancy I threw up so often that towards the end of the day when I had nothing left to throw up it was so violent because nothing would come up, I always full on peed myself. And that was pre-baby! I have no suggestions just can totally get where you're coming from. Except for wearing a pad I'm not sure what else there is to do.

@mermaidca at the end of the last one I would immediately just take off my pants and lay down some paper towels to soak up the pee. It. Was. Bad .And yeah that was pre-kid ha.
Mild nausea, slight weight gain, mild acne (esp annoying), and anxiety regarding my social schedule (friends keep inviting me out for dinner or drinks — I have to keep making excuses or be creative when I’m out since i can’t have alcohol, sushi, etc).
Can’t wait for when I can disclose this pregnancy — trying to be discreet at work and with friends & family is getting tough even so early on.
@MRDCle@mermaidca I'm dying hahahaha. I'm so glad i'm not alone. i really might just need to put one of those puppy pee pads under my toilet for the next couple months. my husband wont mind right?
So let’s talk vagina. Probably most definitely tmi.
I have this very random and sporadic mildly itchy, kinda stingy or lightening like feeling going on. Mostly when I have to pee and I have wait. I don’t remember this from last time but I could be mom braining.
Vaguely yeast infection like, but I haven’t had one in years.
Normal you got all sorts of extra blood flowing and sensitivity weirdness going on. Or girl you crazy call your doc.
Since it’s not at all consistent I’m not freaking out. But I should at least acknowledge and question.

@thatbaintforbetty yep I’m having exact same issue. I told my doc about it at the dating ultrasound all she said since the itching wasn’t constant she’ll just check me for a yeast infection at my exam in a few weeks and to call if it becomes unbearable. She didn’t seem super concerned so I’ll just wait to see. It could be something or just irritation because there’s more discharge now.
@thatbaintforbetty@gollygeeitsamy wow, thanks for that! I’ve been having similar issues but was too nervous to post. It’s so uncomfortable but kind of glad I’m not the only one.
Rhinitis!!!! I hate it so, so much. I can’t breathe at night and I’m sneezing at least 3-4 times an hour. So over it.
Bloating was the worst today. Made me so unbelievably comfortable that I had to leave work a bit earlier. I blame the constipation but I feel like bloating is my new normal...
@thatbaintforbetty I totally feel you. I’m pretty sure I’m starting to get a UTI. I only ever get them when pregnant. The main problem is I don’t get the typical UTI symptoms. I just pee more and always feel like I’m leaking, but no pain. My appt is Tuesday so I’m hoping I can wait till then but I may call tomorrow and see if they can squeeze me in before the holiday weekend Oh and I had some crazy lightening crotch earlier today that made me stop what I was doing
@mermaidca have you tried probiotics? I started taking them almost two weeks ago and they’ve honestly changed everything for me. I’m less nauseous and I’m very regular now too!

The bloat is so annoying! I actually spent my entire day with my pants unbuttoned. Just wore a long tank top under my button down to cover it up.
I am SO tired. I’ve never been so tired in my entire life. Cant sleep more than 4 hours a night, and I don’t always have time to nap. I feel like my eyes are going to fall out of my head. This morning I woke up at 4 absolutely starving and I figured if I ate I could go back to sleep. Didn’t happen. Now trying to get through a full morning of school without nodding off at my desk. Hopefully I get homework to keep me awake (never thought I’d be wishing for homework)
We went to the baseball game on Tuesday and our seats were standing room so I stood. Now for two days my right hip has been in like, terrible pain. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit, it hurts to sleep. Stretching isn't really helping either. Ugh.
ETA: I am putting this under symptoms because I'm assuming its from my loosening ligaments and joints and stuff. I normally have zero issue standing for the game.
Nausea hasn't been quite as bad this week. Lately, it's mostly that my lower back and hips are achy and it hurts to sit for too long. I have to sit at a computer most of the day and I'm finding whatever excuse I can to get up and walk around just to stretch out and get some relief.
Also, I don't remember having this issue with my last one, but I've suddenly got bacne. I'm assuming that has to do with hormones because it's not usually an issue for me. My face, on the other hand, is clearer than it's been in a long time.
Everything has been subsiding except for a few minor things (lots of burping, tummy issues) and it's making me so paranoid. I used to get annoyed when people complained they didn't have symptoms. Mine were so bad last time and I would never wish it on anyone. But I get it now, it's nerve-wracking to all of the sudden feel "normal" again.

@MRDCle have you ever gone to a chiropractor. Mine saved me from a lot of hip pain with my second pregnancy. It’s definitly from the loosening of joints and stuff but in my case it only got worse throughout my pregnancy. I coach swimming so I stand on a hard deck for 3-6 hours at a time so my hips always get out of whack. Find a Chiro that has experience with pregnancy
I have not. Honestly, chiropractors make me really nervous so I haven't used one before. If this continues though who knows. I'm hoping that a warm bath tonight and putting my feet up early (rather than the 2.5 hour cleaning spree last night) will help out.
@sdelg09 I am dealing with night waking pretty much since conception. I wake up every morning at 2:30AM. EVERY. MORNING. My doctor recommended that I take Unisom. I take 1/2 a pill (a full one made me too groggy). I still wake up at 2:30AM to go the the bathroom but I fall back asleep in 2-5 minutes instead of staying up till 4 or 5 and falling back asleep. It has definitely been a life saver.
Re: Symptoms Week of 8/27
Medical gloves and a face mask is perfect, and obviously wash up to your elbows after you take them off.
Honestly the risk with barrier protection is very very low
