Symptoms w/o 12/2

How is everyone doing?? Anything new? Anything changing?

I’m now at about 14 weeks and I think (FX) my morning sickness is starting to finally abate! I know some ladies have mentioned issues with constipation and headaches seem to be picking up. For some reason I feel like I remember reading somewhere that headaches and lightheadedness can get worse in the 2nd. 

I think heartburn burn has also been another issue for me but Zantac has definitely helped with that. Also, because the MS has gotten better I’m starting to not feel so gross about myself. But bloat gets real by the end of the day. 

Does anyone feel like they are showing a bit? I think I’m definitely showing a little bit but it’s not a real baby bump. It looks kinda just like my stomach is pooching out a bit.

I felt really lightheaded this morning. I’m not in the second tri yet, but getting closer, so maybe that explains why.

I have been having horrible RLP. The back pain where it feels like I pulled a muscle is still prevalent. I have noticed that along with the heavy RLP that has started I am getting pains in my stomach muscles that just aches...almost like I did way too many crunches which I have not done any lol. It has been making me nervous but I called my OB and she stated I shouldn't be alarmed if I don't have any bleeding and the pain isn't debilitating. Apparently between my tilted uterus, c section scarring, and this being my second pregnancy....I am in for alot of discomfort. It still makes me nervous though, not going to lie. Oh yes, and my boobs feel like they are going to fall off. 
@chrssyms I noticed this morning when I woke up that for the first time I actually have visible rounding in my belly. Before it was bloat/after eating blump but today it was there when I woke up. I'm nearing 10 weeks but I showed around 12 weeks with my first because I am very petite and essentially have nowhere to stash my swelling uterus lol. I'm only 4'10'' so I am very little lol

@BlondePeanut Oh I’m so sorry that you’re having so much discomfort! I thought second tri was supposed to be a bit of a break, so I hope you’re not in a lot of pain throughout!

@chrssyms I’m only 11 weeks, so pretty sure whatever I have is a blump, lol. 

I’m mostly getting nauseous when I’m hungry, fortunately. Also fortunately, the constant ravenous feelings seem to have dissipated for now.

chrssyms

@BlondePeanut That’s awesome (about the bump - not the pain). I’m 5’2, so I’m a bit taller but not much. I have a pretty short torso, too. I was kind of nervous that I was just gaining fat or something and it was just fat and bloat. I do get kind of bloated by the end of the day and it goes away by the morning. 

Im not sure if I have RLP or not. Sometimes I seem to get pain in my hips that feel like a bit of a strain. But I don’t get it everyday or regularly.

I'm currently 11 weeks 4 days. I haven't had any symptoms whatsoever since becoming pregnant. 

****TW*******
This is my second pregnancy my first ended in miscarriage. I had found out back in May I was pregnant and then in July I miscarried. No symptoms with that pregnancy either. Miscarriage was natural and happened pretty fast.
which is why I'm so nervous not having any symptoms again....
***end TW****

I had my first ultrasound on Nov 7th. Baby was measuring exactly 8 weeks and had a heartbeat. Happy but still nervous due to last time.  My next appt. isn't until Dec 17th such a long wait.....

I bought a fetal doppler and can't tell if I'm picking up the placenta or the baby's heartbeat... ugh just wish it was the 17th so I can know how I'm doing.

My appetite is finally coming back!!! I go back and forth between constipation and diarrhea so that’s been fun 🙄 Still really tender breasts and sometimes burning nipples. I get RLP sometimes too. I stood up too fast the other day and it was so painful I keeled over and had to wait a minute to get back up. I think my nausea is starting to get better so I might try weaning off the Unisom/B6 this week. And my sex drive is waking up! Still too tired to do anything about it though 😂

chrssyms

@TaTrToT45 I know it’s probably hard, given your experience, but it’s perfectly normal to not have a lot of symptoms. There are other ladies here who also haven’t had a lot of symptoms. I can understand being nervous though. 

nmbrcrnchr1

This is me searching for that 2nd tri energy...it has to be coming soon, right? I’ll be 14w on Thursday and although the nausea is much better I’m still exhausted, have major food aversions, and certain foods my DH eats makes me want to vomit (I’ve ate dinner in a separate room a few times this week). Like @navyblueladybug I am having pain when I get up to quickly, I’m assuming is RLP? But a few times I’ve had to sit back down, it makes me nervous. Oh and TMI but the discharge! I don’t remember this with my first.

2 words .... Carpal. Tunnel. 😭

emeraldcity603

I was in the bedroom changing into more comfortable clothes. I come out to the living room and I nearly puke in the middle of the floor. DH decided to dehydrate some meat he has been seasoning for the last few days. 🤢

vv826

I'm basically waving the white flag on food everything I eat, even crackers, has me back in the restroom. I'm 12 weeks so everyone that's a couple of weeks ahead of me and are starting to feel better give me hope that I'm almost there. the dizziness is real here too especially when I'm up and moving around. 

meatballs37

I am starting to feel the extra weight in my lower abdomen already. I’m pretty sure after my last two pregnancies, my ligaments are shot. Every time I get up, it’s like gravity is reminding me. Ugh. 

Add me to the tired train. 2nd trimester bliss, where are you? 

BlondePeanut

@meatballs37 Do you feel a heavy aching weight in your belly? That is how I have felt the past few days along with direct RLP. I know it isn't gas because I feel it everytime I get up too

meatballs37

@BlondePeanut yes that’s exactly where I feel it along with the RLP. Looks like I will be going to the chiropractor sooner rather than later. 

pigglesworth

My face is breaking out, I’m super gassy, mood swings complete with tears over random silly things. My poor husband...

ki1244

@TaTrToT45 I feel kind of like a creep posting it in the Symptoms thread but I'm one of the largely asymptomatic gals here. Freaks me out a little but if the choice is worry about it while feeling normal or spend hours in the can making dinosaur noises into the toilet (and probably still find something to worry about) I pick this. Feeling miserable and having a healthy pregnancy don't HAVE to be tied together, even if that's the case for a lot of gals!

Although YES to the lower abdomen heaviness...feels like my uterus ran a 13.1 and has been sore the last few days fairly constantly. Not like worrisome pain, just...noticeable. And I've been cropdusting the heck out of anywhere I go today, but that could be more related to my Moroccan tomato soup from lunch than Baby for all I know. DH is none too pleased though. 

luckystar28

Acne has hit like WHOA. And here I was thinking I avoided the break outs this pregnancy! Jokes on me. Puberty, here I am again. 

Today sucked in terms of nausea and vomiting. But I kept some things down which is good. My overactive phlegm is making everything I eat taste gross though! I don’t remember this last time around...

Erin1510

I’m 14w3d and feeling pretty good lately. 

Nausea and gagging is decreasing. My stomach feel heavy at night and I’m for sure showing. I’m about how I was with my first at 18ish weeks. I’m embracing it and loving that I look pregnant!

antera23

At night, after I eat, I feel something in my pelvis when I’m walking. I still feel pretty miserable but not as miserable as weeks 6 and 7 so that’s good. I think my MS is getting better but my heartburn is getting worse. My boobs and nipples are changing. The bigger one seems to be getting significantly bigger than the smaller one though, lol. The excess phlegm situation is still the worst symptom I have becuase of how often it chokes me and makes me throw up. 

I had two days this week when I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted and I didn’t throw up once. I savor those days lol. Everyone who is starting to feel better gives me so much hope! 

TaTrToT45

@chrssyms thank you! and @ki1244 Of trust me I feel bad for all these ladies that have symptom upon symptom but it's just makes me nervous due to the last outcome...I know symptoms or not something can happen. I just hate the not knowing. So glad my first appt went well back in early Nov. I just hate waiting weeks to go to another appt. Waiting and wondering if everything is developing ok. 

jhems776

Some headaches have started, breasts feel swollen it's different than early pregnancy, and I'm still waking up every morning in varying degrees of gas pain. In am 13.5 weeks and it feels like my tummy fat had been pushed out and up. By evening I'm defiantly showing something. I feel like I'm the 'weight gain or pregnant' looking stage. 

emeraldcity603

I don't know if it was from spending almost 2 weeks in CO or if it's my hormones changing but my face is suddenly clearing up. I hope it stays that way. 

I'm dying without my daily coffee. My body literally craves it. I almost caved yesterday but then I remembered how big my SCH was and I'm not sure if it was the bedrest or lack of caffeine that helped it shrink so much. I just don't want to take any chances. 

Smells, all the smells are what is killing me right now. I clean and clean and clean and I can't get away from all the smells in my house. I keep telling DH and he told me he thinks I'm delusional. He apparently smells nothing. 

chachacharrrmin

My acne has gotten way worse over the past few days, especially around my hairline. As with @nmbrcrnchr1 [TMI] I have been noticing a major increase in discharge. I've also had a few headaches - nothing major, didn't end up taking any med. And continuing my journey on the nausea train. I will glady depart this train at anytime now...

tuxielove93

@emeraldcity603 I'm on the weird smell train too! My fridge and freezer just smell horrible to me. I do not know why. Its been going for nearly a month now. I have cleaned both multiple times. It does not help. It's just a fridge smell that is stuck in there and I can't get it out. I gag everytime I open my fridge. And I have baking soda in there. Not helping. I can't even put my apples and pears in there because then the skin picks up the smell and I can't eat them anymore. 

Bababatty

@emeraldcity603 @tuxielove93 OMG yes to the smells! I made bacon yesterday and told DH that I hoped the smell would disappear after I cleaned the pan. He was like, “What smell?” Our fridge at work is the worst, though. It smells like some kind of cross between old lettuce and Brussels sprouts. I have to hold my breath when I open it, and I have definitely gagged in the kitchenette (thankfully no one was around). I’ve also determined that perfumes and other artificial scents might be why I feel worse at work than I do anywhere else. It’s like my nausea has mostly abated....until I get to work. Not great.

antera23

I’m gathering that headaches are a common symptom once we get to the end of the 1st trimester/ beginning of the second? Because I’ve had a headache for 3 days now. Last night was the worst it’s ever been. I took Tylenol and that took the edge off but I can still feel it. 

die_frau

@emeraldcity603, @tuxielove93, @Bababatty add me to the strong smells list! We walked into our house yesterday and the first thing I said was "why does our house smell like garbage?!"

I promise, we are clean.

Our trash can was just full and apparently I smell everything now. I was making eggs the other morning and their smell was so strong, I was worried they were bad despite having just bought them. I made my husband come over and smell them to make sure they were fine. I think he thinks I'm crazy.

On the plus side, the smell aversions + MS means that I'm making him do poopy diaper duty for our little guy (sorry not sorry?).

I seem to have sprouted a bump overnight as well. I'm at 11 weeks, so it feels early, but I've read that the bumps tend to pop out sooner with subsequent pregnancies. 

emeraldcity603

Yesterday I had soup for lunch and then ran some errands, KID FREE!!!!. The entire time I was burping the soup up and praying I wouldn't  vomit. Then I basically just had general queasiness for the rest of the afternoon. 

Edit to change would to wouldn't...I am not praying to vomit! 😂

ohheyitsb

When nausea comes back with a vengeance. 

chachacharrrmin

@ohheyitsb nooooooo 💔

I woke up with a new-to-me symptom. I had a cramp in my side (the one I was laying on). It felt like a side stitch you get from running. Assuming thats RLP? It went away once I got up and walked around a bit.

KissMeImScottish

I am struggling HARD with dehydration. I feel like I just can’t keep up at all with the demand my body has right now for water, and there’s a definite correlation between my energy level and how I feel in general and how much water I’ve had.

tuxielove93

Ya know what’s fun? Having to eat every hour to stave off nausea, not being able to eat very much in one sitting, and being completely apathetic about food. 

luckystar28

I woke up 3 times to pee last night  I thought it was too early for this shit! lol

chachacharrrmin

@tuxielove93 SAME! I've been starving, but if I eat too much I get nauseous, but if i don't eat enough I get nauseous. It's a lose lose situation.

BlondePeanut

@luckystar28 not too early for me....I wake up every 1-3 hours too pee every single night....I tried drinking all my water before it gets too late to see if it helps...and it doesn't. 

BlondePeanut

I had a little trend going where my MS was just at night instead of all day....and today I feel like crap...nausea and headache all day long.....and I am stuck at work feeling bitchy and miserable (I work second shift so I will be here until 11:30pm....ahhhh)

canuckbaby

@KissMeImScottish my DH and i were just talking about my lack of water intake.... its so hard i hate water so much. Been trying to drink more fluids and put ice in everything.

Bababatty

@luckystar28 @BlondePeanut Same! And do you also get insomnia around the 2nd or 3rd time you get up? If I get up to pee at 3am, it never fails that my brain is like, “Guess we’re awake now!” Not cool, brain.

chrssyms

@ohheyitsb I’m sorry your nausea came back. I thought I was out of the MS woods but I’m not. Last night was terrible. I got home from my first day at my new job with a pounding headache. I didn’t even want to eat dinner but my husband forced me. At 7:30 I took a shower and I started to brush my teeth and I puked up my entire dinner all over the sink. It clogged the sink and my DH (bless him) unclogged it for me while I just laid in bed with my head still pounding. I already vomited today when I got home from work and I feel like I’m gonna vomit again tonight. Ughhh 🤮

The only good thing is that I got a new maternity pillow last night and it is amazing. It aligns my neck, my back and my hips. I slept soo well.
