@canuckbaby I had been doing really poorly lately at getting water in...but today discovered adding a splash of spiced apple cider (got mine at Trader Joes) with a few orange slices is HEAVEN in water. Can't get enough of it today. Last week it was Cranberry Sprite Zero or strawberry watermelon Crystal Light. The week before, Dasani Black Cherry sparkling water. This moving target stuff is annoying, but once you find the thing that sounds good...yayyyyy.
@ki1244 ugh i hate stuff light crystal light. And flavored bottled water. Just trying to get through a glass of water with lemon. I do like orange juice with ice in it so trying to be more proactive and adding ice to that every time.
@Bababatty and @BlondePeanut its 315 am here. Got up to pee since my lovely cat decided to crawl between my legs and half lay on my bladder. Made mistake of checking the time. I find ThATs my downfall of going back to sleep right away. Time to play some candy crush. Might turn tv on as husband is snoring away and shouldnt notice
@eleven_ I have been having lower and upper back pain. Not crampy, but more dull pains. Like I slept weird, but I don't think I did because it's been like this for a few days. I've also had weird cramps in my sides when I wake up, like a side stitch you get when you don't drink enough water and go for a run.
@eleven_ Dont ever feel dumb! You are not caring for just yourself, but also this little tiny human who can't necessarily tell you if there is anything wrong. So all you can do is listen to your body and you know when something does not seem right.
@eleven_ mine isn’t bad or consistent but as I sit here typing this I have lower back pain, the kind I get around ovulation. I’ve had it a couple of times over the last few weeks. I’ve had a US since I started having them so I’m telling myself it’s “normal” 🤷🏼♀️
I called my OB and they want me to come in to see if I have a UTI. They said UTIs are really common in pregnancy and that cramping is a sign so I'm off to the lab.

@nmbrcrnchr1 That's exactly how I have felt too! It didn't cross my mind that they could be related. My UTI symptoms seem to come and go and have been mild so I didn't think about calling the doctor.

You guys...this is TMI I'm sure but the gas is SO BAD today. I'm grossing myself out in my office. (God only knows what the guy in the office next door is thinking.) If I get home and somehow haven't accidentally shit myself it will be a minor miracle.
@wearyfuzzball That's hilarious. DH is a gas machine so I feel like I am just giving it back to him lol. A funny story related to pregnancy gas....when we did our hospital tour with DD we were in the labor and delivery room and there was some serious gas passing going on and after we left I noticed DH had this look so I asked what was wrong and he said "that was not cool, we were trapped in that little room with all those pregnant lady farts, it was horrible!" I laughed so hard that I started farting too
But yes, when the gas hits boy it is something to be heard. lol
I shouldn't admit this...but we play fart tennis sometimes (and now I totally have the advantage). Whoever rips first says "Service," and the other person has 30 seconds to return, and we go back and forth until one of us is out. Finding the balance between farting on command, saving one up, but not forcing it to the point you need to run to the bathroom...it's a rare skill.
(We don't have kids and clearly have spent too many nights just the two of us.)
omg @ki1244 fart tennis, too good. The dizziness episodes are real. Every time i stand up I need to put a hand on a wall. I was dealing with headaches in the morning when I woke up earlier this week but looks like I'm free this morning. I'm also hungrier way faster after eating this week but nothing feels satisfying and at night my favorite game seems to be "what else can I eat?"
Hi! I'm 11wks 3days today, and I think (hope?) some round ligament pain has started? I've had this dull, crampy feeling all morning so far. I'm praying it's the normal aches/pains/cramps and nothing more serious.
@cricket1688 The hunger! I don’t know how they can say, “Control your weight in the first tri, remember you’re not quite eating for two,” when I’m SO HUNGRY almost immediately after eating. I eat so much now and I get hangry, so DH has been good about asking if I need to bring a protein bar with me. I’m starting a thyroid medication and my endo said to wait 45 minutes after taking it in the morning before eating. This is going to be a challenge.
I jinxed myself. Told my H yesterday "I think my nausea is going away.." HA! Joke's on me. Woke up with HORRIBLE nausea this morning and puked while I was brushing my teeth. Ugh. My acne is ridiculous. Also, my shirt has some serious static cling issues today and is hugging my blump. I've see some major side eye from coworkers today...
horrible nausea today too and a headache for two days....and my emotions are horrible. I am so sensitive and irritable. today has been a really rough day
I'm 12w1d and my MS is still here. Its mostly only at night, though, but otherwise I'm choking back vomit all day. I'm terrified to burp, cough, or blow my nose. Sometimes I even have to choke it back in the middle of a sentence.
I'm a FTM but swear I'm starting to show already. MH and I started playing blump or bump.
Like others said above, I feel like I'm always on the verge of a UTI.
Oh, and the MOTHERF****** ACNE. NOTHING WORKS. I've had a pimple right in the middle of my forehead all week.
@luckystar28 Thank you for the support. I am not usually someone who brings my feelings to work, but today I am literally crying at my desk. It's freaking me out. And I feel so guilty for not just being happy because I do feel blessed to have a beautiful family and baby on the way...but I just feel awful.
This might be a strange question but what do you guys mean when you say you feel like you have a UTI? I guess it’s making me nervous thinking I might have one and not know it. Are you getting painful urination? Something else?
I finally had a night without vomiting last night. It was wonderful. Today I felt okay, a little nauseous all day but I feel better right now. Slow improvement.
Im definitely gassy too. It seems to pick up more towards the end of the day and at night. I can’t always verify this, some of it is claims from my husband it’s happening while I sleep. I just tell him it’s probably the dogs. 😝
@harrierwife@antera23 Thank you ladies! Pregnancy is rough. I think I was in lala land with my first because it was not this hard the first time around.
@chrssyms - Personally, its that sharp, tingly feeling by my urethra, but its very mild and inconsistent. Almost feels like I have to pee - NOW. But I'm not in any pain when I go, so I dunno what's going on. I've been trying to drink extra water when I can (even more than before) and not holding it.
@blondepeanut - It is rough! And its okay to feel what you feel. And its okay to be confused/frustrated with your feelings now (and ever, really). Be gentle with yourself.
The nausea is finally easing up at 11weeks. Now battling the headaches and my skin looks terrible. I cut out caffeine when I got my BFP, but might start introducing it back in my life to hopefully help these headaches.
@Mmhodges07 i cut coffee when I got the BFP and this week I woke every morning with headaches so I started up coffee again and it totally helped. For whatever its worth!
@harrierwife okay thanks. I don’t think I’ve had anything like that. When I’ve had a UTI in the past it always burned and that’s how I knew. I haven’t experienced anything like that so I was wondering if there was something else.
I've only had one UTI and it took me a while to realize it. I never had any difficulty/changes peeing or pain with it. My lower back hurt and my stomach around my bladder was.. uncomfortable is the best word I can think of for it. I honestly don't know if I'd be able to pick those signs out as something wrong right now.
