How far along are you?

How are you feeling this week? What symptoms are you having? 

artsiefartsie

The hangover description of the first trimester is so spot on.

I'm feeling very rough this week. The vomiting has started regularly, which I didn't have with my first. I'm hoping this is the peak 🤞🤞

jenharvey84

Hungover! Yes that is EXACTLY how I feel. Vomiting and nausea getting me down this week. Also, so tired. I'm trying to work and do meetings in between power naps.

MaximumEffort

It's 330, I'm exhausted, so much to do today and now I want a nap.

Ditto to all of the above! How do you function with what feels like a stomach flu for months?

gingerale87

Right... I feel gross. And conflicted, I want to be productive but I don't want to move. I feel like I almost have to be constantly snacking on something to keep the bleh-ness at bay.

Almonds!

Heartburn. Everything gives me heartburn.... WATER gives me heartburn.  

chartput

@artsiefartsie yes this!!

It doesn’t matter what I eat/don’t eat or when I eat/don’t eat. I just feel gross ALL THE TIME. I told H that I’m wondering if it’s twins at this point because I’ve never felt like this before. My other three pregnancies I could have gone till I felt movement to even know I was pregnant. 

7 weeks today. I hope it doesn’t last too much longer but 🤷‍♀️. I’m still early so who knows.

6w5d and my nipples are becoming obnoxious! I had a very cute outfit picked out today but my nipples are so large and protruding that they were clearly poking out while wearing a bra, undershirt, and blouse. This is not something I’m comfortable with.
My only padded bra is black, which was not an option under my cream colored blouse. So, I had to completely change my outfit. 😣

Knottie, you may want to change your username so we can identify you amongst the other knotties easier and it’s easier for us to to tag you! 

AFM, ugh HEADACHES! Killing me 

MaximumEffort

Wake up fine, useless by 2pm but my house is giving me anxiety because it's so cluttered and dusty so DS and I are going room to room throwing stuff out. 

jenharvey84

I just got put on sick leave by my doctor and diclegis to stop the consistent nausea and vomitting. I couldn't even handle fluids and want to avoid hospital as much as possible. I've been in bed most of the week and I'm depressed and bored and frustrated and tired. 

jackie_dunny

@jenharvey84 oh god! That sounds horrendous! Make sure to take care of yourself and remind yourself that this care/sick leave is necessary! 

tanyadk

I’m right there with you @jenharvey84 I feel your pain. I’ve been crying a lot. Been in bed for the last 6 weeks. But some days aren’t always as bad. 

im glad you’re able to take the time off to focus on your care. We’ve tried everything for me so IV is the next step . Im not saying that’s what next for you, maybe with this time off work and rest, things will get better. Hang in there 😥. I’m sending all the positive vibes I can muster your way! 💕

chartput

Im getting all the reflux/gas. Not really heartburn, but I burp after EVERYTHING i eat or drink, including water. And (tmi sorry) sometimes a little bit of my food comes up with it. Its embarrassing and gross since Im wearing double masks all day at work.

cdbaldwin09

@chartput My husband and I call that branch water and it is a real threat right now!

Starynightsky24

Anyone else feel like they just did an ab workout (clearly I’ve done nothing lol)??? I feel like this babe is growing exponentially compared to my first three

jenharvey84

@tanyadk @jackie_dunny - thank you for the love. This community has really helped me feel less alone during the tough times. One tired girl, right here. Just want to eat some food and keep it in me! 

doodleoodle

I have the trifecta of symptoms today: extreme nausea, exhaustion, and my nipples are in so much pain that it feels like they might just fall off.

 Branch water 😂💀

jackie_dunny

I can’t. stop. eating. 

MaximumEffort

I dont want to eat, I'm hungry and feel woozy but nothing sounds good or safe today.  I've been woozy all day and have a high patient assignment. 7 more hours. 

What I want to eat is Caesar suddenly salad with mozzarella, tomatoes and olives mixed in. 

jenharvey84

@MaximumEffort I hope someone gets you that Caesar Salad! 

MaximumEffort

@jenharvey84 I came home after work and made it sometime after 9. Cold pasta salad with mix ins, bring on the heartburn.
I also keep goldfish by my bed. 

gingerale87

I've noticed my hunger has changed.  I feel like I constantly need to eat or I feel somewhat woozy.  Also I used to get hungry, have some tummy grumbles and be able to wait a while and continue working.  Now I get hungry and within like 3 minutes, my stomach feels hollow, like it's eating itself and I need to eat immediately or I feel like I'm on the verge of passing out.

jackie_dunny

I’m moody as fuuuuu today. Like, everything and everyone is just annoying me and I’m so done 😂 poor DH is going to have to deal with a bitchy/grumpy wife when I get home 

ETA: my watch literally told me to breathe as I posted this 😂

artsiefartsie

@gingerale87 Yes! That's exactly how I get when pregnant. My hunger cues get cranked to an 11. I don't get a nice gradual "oh I should think about eating something soon" I'll go from completely fine to starving and just grabbing the closest thing with calories and shoving it in my mouth.  I always have to make sure I carry lots of good snacks when I go anywhere.  

doodleoodle

@gingerale87 @artsiefartsie my husband was making fun of me the other day because I told him if I didn’t eat soon I was going to pass out. It had been 4 hours since I’d last eaten which I feel like is an eternity when you’re pregnant. 

marbellie

Woah I just got hit with a wave of queasiness after my breakfast burrito! Holy hell that was a terrible feeling, listen I respect everyone who deals with that regularly and more so damn much.

I had to walk outside to get away from the grease smell.

sliztee

Yes! This, guys! I get woozy and my stomach actually hurts. It’s awful. 

MrsGinter

This is the absolute worst! It also makes it so hard to drink so much water!

cd1122

Exhaustion just hit....gotta try to squeeze a nap in before meetings/deadlines. Also nauseous because I pushed my stomach too far past the 4 hour window....that's what I get for finally being productive today 🙄

MaximumEffort

A little over 6 more hours and the wooziness and exhaustion hit even though I ate, never finished my coffee. I'm happy with having symptoms, I understand it's a blessing in disguise.

freakymagoo

I have so much snot, sneezing all the damn time. I’m over it.

I’ve also got first tri insomnia.

I want to take my kids outside but I feel like garbage 😫 

I may just let them have a movie marathon instead.

I've been think about doing a Harry Potter marathon recently, if anything because you could easily make it 3 days of movies... though with my house, it would likely end up a Christmas movie marathon instead.

doodleoodle

I like your style. Mine are a bit too young for HP. If I still feel bad tomorrow I think I’m going to go with a Toy Story marathon.

3monkeycircus

@doodleoodle I’m with you on this. We started spring break today and part of me is looking forward to the yucky rainy weather we are supposed to have most of the week so I don’t feel bad planting my kiddos in front of the tv and just vegging on the couch

jenharvey84

I had to visit urgent care last night because I had severe dehydration (needed an IV) and a UTI. Just add that to the list of pregnancy symptoms... Feeling crappy!
