I am too pooped to scroll back, but whoever asked about a lack of patience (maybe not even this thread? Who even knows anymore) I am 100% there today. I have a class of ~30 juniors who are just the WORST. I know I shouldn't say that about my students, but honestly, most of them don't want to be in school and are just ruining the class for those who at least just want to pass and get out.
That was me! Haha. I teach second grade. They are more willing to do (or try) the work, but what gets me is the constant interruptions, side conversations, and the little things kids do like picking on each other, touching each other, etc. I'm just like, "stop. Just stop." I have no energy for that, and itsi worse when my tummy feels gross..
At 11 weeks, the cramping I had in early pregnancy is back. No spotting, and it’s not terribly painful. It feels more like pulling because things are expanding, I suppose. Anyone else feeling like this?

@aprosch- I've been getting that jittery feeling too. From what I've read, it sounds like the rise in estrogen in the early weeks can cause increased anxiety. I'm chalking it up to that. Taking walks in the fresh air and deep, slow breathing seem to help. Laying down seems to make it worse for me, which has been tough since I've been feeling so nauseated lately. Hoping it gets better for you!
My awesome symptoms lately are nausea that fools me into thinking it’s gone then BAM hits me hard out of nowhere, gas pains, Braxton Hicks contractions, acid reflux, hot flashes, round ligament pain, occasional insomnia and exhaustion if I attempt to do Things like normal human beings do. And sometimes I’m lucky and get most of those symptoms all at once.
In case anyone was wondering I’m not loving being pregnant right now 😕 I don’t remember being this miserable with DS but maybe I’ve blocked it from my memory
Nausea is the worst!!!! The sore boobs and bloating don't really bother me that much but I can't even handle food commercials. I'm lucky that my toddlers love fruit and veggies so much because they are eating a ton of them. I just hate having to cook meat haha!
@jhokaj524 I guess the answer fell into my lap. I have the Ovia app and this is what it says in Week 9:
"Hormonal irritability is at a peak around the ninth week, although relief should come soon - for most women, moodiness eases up around week ten before coming back into full force as your pregnancy ends. You're also likely to feel extremely fatigued, as your body is working overtime to develop the placenta in order to most efficiently provide nutrients to your baby, and because your blood sugar and blood pressure may often move in the opposite direction as your increased metabolism and hormone levels."
So low blood sugars and blood pressures are the culprit. Not surprised. I knew the blood pressure decreased during first trimester, but didn't realize blood sugars did. Makes sense though.

11 weeks today and I have had this the last few days as well! I describe it as a pulling too, and my dr said it's totally normal.
11 weeks today and my nausea is WORSE than ever. I threw up twice this weekend - had only done so twice this entire time before. I've had nausea all along but it's just another level right now. I thought things were supposed to start getting better around now!
@jenferlee82 Thanks for the assurance about the cramping. Glad to know I'm not alone! And I'm so sorry for the nausea! Mine was much better around 10 weeks, then I had a day or two of it coming back. Now I feel good again. Hopefully, it's gone for good soon!

Apparently I can add "mood swings" to my list of symptoms. I am filling in at the front desk for my office, doing a job I don't normally do, since it is spring break week and we are very short-staffed. A woman came in, already in a bad mood about having to pay a bill she didn't think she ought to have to pay. Because I don't normally do this job, I had to ask someone to help me with the transaction, and the customer got very huffy about me wasting her time and called me incompetent. Apparently that was the last straw because I burst into tears.
If my coworkers weren't already suspicious, they definitely are now! 😂
Is anyone taking zofran? Last pregnancy I made it through with diclegis but this time around feels worse, and I’m starting to think I may need something stronger.

🖐🏻 Pregnancy #3 on zofran. Ask for the 12 hr swallow pills. Dicelgis has never done anything for me
Is anyone else like beyond thirsty no matter how much they drink and no matter how hydrated you are. It’s driving me nuts is there such thing as drinking too much water???? I feel like a whale that has swallowed the ocean hellllppp

yes, but i also feel like i can't drink enough water at one time. It's weird, last time my mouth was soooo dry all the time. This time, it's just the back of the throat, like when I swallow it feels like a cotton ball. So strange! Totally normal to be extremely thirsty, btw.
Oof, pregnancy nose made my flight this morning miserable. So many people smell so bad, apparently!
I hate pregnancy nose. I used to love how my husband smells after showering, and now he stinks after he showers. And after he takes our dog for a walk, he smells so bad like sweat, even though he doesn't even seem to have sweated!
Add to that the new pill pockets we got for our dog yesterday (he takes an anti-anxiety twice a day) that legitimately smell like diarrhea and I can't handle the nasal assault. I want to laugh, but I just can't. 🤢
I guess I should also mention that my lull in MS seems to be fading and coming back now. Le sigh.
I have a sneaking suspicion I either have another UTI or its turned into a Kidney infection. I finished my antibiodic on Monday but I've been getting small lower/side back pains. Though not bad enough to make me want to take anything. Nice thing is I go see doc in a few days so hopefully my symptoms won't get worse lol. In the mean time I have this huge thing of water and cranberry juice with me so...
@Cass005 I hope you feel better and your doctor appt goes well! I’ve somehow never had a UTI but they sound awful 😖
10w4d here and the hunger is REAL!! Weeks 8-9 were the worst with food aversions and not feeling the best, but the past few days I have been HANGRY. I get bad stomach pains if I don’t eat every 3-4 hours. SOS!
Ummm so if you didn't notice, all the rage lately. Every tiny little thing ticks me off and makes me feel like
Also the crazy super weird dreams are back. They're also the kind that stick with me for days. I'm still bothered by the fact that I took my boss's helicopter, without knowing how to fly it, jumped from it to get to safety, but now it's still flying around out there somewhere with no pilot and my anxiety level is through the roof just waiting for it to run out of gas and crash.

One of my first clues I was pregnant this time and last was the anger when someone would stand too close to me in the Starbucks line or on the escalator or dealing with stupid people at work! Luckily it’s cooling down a bit 😬.
Lol @geminigirl16 me too! Poor SO got several tongue lashings before I realized it was pregnancy hormones making me be so mean to him. I was lucky tho, the rage had disappeared for a little while, but now it seems to be trading off with the bouts of nausea.

I've been nauseously starving all day long until suddenly I'm uncomfortably full and bloated. Me every day at about 5 o'clock: This is a far cry from my first two pregnancies though where I was basically disgusted by all food first tri.
I think I’m going to have to dig out my compression gloves. I get pregnancy induced carpel and tarsel tunnel, and I can already feel it creeping in on my dominant hand 😪 I was hoping this would wait until 3rd Friday again 😪
@cmbt2 Pulling weeds is also a great rage reliever! I know there are precautions to take with gardening while pregnant, but man, driving that pick into the ground and pulling out weeds by the root is so exhilarating.

My hands have been falling asleep at night and my midwife thinks I may be getting pregnancy carpal tunnel... She suggested I get the wrist guards since it's only going to get worse 😭

How do the compression gloves compare?
So much better. It made a massive difference because it forces the water out of your hands. I get it right in my hands, not on my wrist, though
@nnaelilak Omg, my hands have been falling asleep at night constantly lately! It didn't even occur to me that it could be a pregnancy symptom (note to self: remember everything can be a pregnancy symptom).
