Might as well start this one now since we missed January 😂

Two days in a row now I’ve gotten severe gas pain shortly after lunch. Anyone else have this? Got so bad today I had to go home from work (which is very unusual for teachers!). The only change is I’ve been wearing compression socks, my lunch choice hasn’t changed.

I've been extraordinarily tired this week. I feel like I'm back in the first trimester. I've also had some slight heartburn over the last week too, which is something I didn't really have with my first pregnancy. I'm hoping it doesn't continue as I know some people can have really bad heartburn. AND I'm super emotional. It's been a fun week. 

@littlemarshmallow sorry to hear about your gas pains. I haven't had anything like that, but know gas can be a pregnancy thing for sure. I wonder if maybe it's just everything getting tighter inside of you as baby grows? I hope it eases up soon!

@curlyandpreggo I have also been super emotional the last 1.5 weeks. I thought I was doing so well at controlling my emotions up until the . We have a house project going on and yesterday I started yelling at my husband over something that was not his fault and then broke down crying because I felt bad and it was too overwhelming. I felt insane even when it was happening. 

For me I feel like the exhaustion comes and goes. Some days I have a ton of energy and some days I can barely get out of bed

@littlemarshmallow, did it get any better? Watch out for symptoms of gallstones/gallbladder issues in pregnancy! I have a friend who has to get hers removed right after she gives birth.

I have so many new symptoms to rant about! Apparently I just pee myself sometimes now. I had a random unexplained allergic reaction last week and had to go to the ER at 21 weeks pregnant. And this week it is kind of painful to walk due to pelvic/groin pain that I have no idea what to do with other than force myself to walk slower. Also I'm really into eating all the time right now which is a huge improvement from first trimester, but I'm just feeling so huge already. Like how is there 17+ more weeks of growing the bump?! It's amazing and terrifying at the same time, lol.

Thankfully I’m feeling better. I’ve been drinking some peppermint tea, taking a stool softener, and eating smaller meals which seems to be helping with the gas!
