Does anyone else feel pretty good?

tokenhoser

I mean, I can find things to complain about if I try (I am tired and love to sleep a nice 11 or 12 hours, I did have skin like a teenager, but that's pretty much healed up, stuff like that). The thing is... I really, overall, have no complaints. I haven't got nauseous, I'm not in any pain at the moment, and overall I've been walking around with a grin since the first u/s showed us a happy, healthy, on schedule baby.

The thing is: saying I feel good is apparently breaking some sort of mommy code.  If I felt like crap, I could talk about it for days. If I feel good, it's somehow verboten. Lucky women of the world unite! Tell me I'm not alone in my lack of complaints!

Well I will say that I feel pretty good, minus the exhaustion.  I have minor bouts with things here and there, but my symptoms really subsided about two weeks ago.  With DD, I had nausea the entire time, so this is a real treat for me.  I'm embracing it 110%!

Careful. I have felt great all week. I have been telling everyone that I think I am finally feeling better... I threw up this morning! Ahhhhh. I hope it was just a fluke.

 Hopefully you really are feeling better and hopefully it lasts. I hope that mine was just a fluke thing and I am fine tomorrow. Fingers are crossed.

I'm starting to feel much better.  I get nausea sometimes, but not nearly as bad as it was in previous weeks, so I'll take it!  I'm still pretty exhausted after work and almost every night this week I have come home and taken a nap.  But other than that, nothing super bad so I'm feeling good!

I am about one "be careful what you say" or "just you wait" from losing it.

Enjoying myself now is NOT going to make me sick later. Being happy and grateful to feel good isn't bad luck. It's just freaking awesome, and I think really jealousy inducing.

People have been giving me the "just you wait" for the last 3 months... and I'm still not puking.

I feel pretty good these days.  I just get tired more easily and my toddler is wearing me out!

i have definitely been feeling better than a few weeks ago, but still more tired/exhausted than usual. Although I've also been trying to make myself push past some tiredness--get up off the couch, walk on the treadmill, etc--so that could be helping too.

I also haven't thrown up yet (pounding on wood). please let me escape pregnancy without this!!! haha.

I'll unite with you   And I'm thanking my baby for not making me sick!

I have felt great for the past 3 weeks. I am enjoying every moment of it because I am sure the heartburn will set in soon.

I've been feeling pretty good aside from feeling exhausted ALL the time!!!  Although today I woke up after 8 hours of sleep and just felt....refreshed.  It was the most wonderful feeling in the world!

I can say that I've not thrown up once! I've not had any pain or complaints until last night waking up not able to sleep on my stomach comfortably still. Since day one I've been on cloud 9 and feeling awesome!

If you want to call it a complaint - I am super tired, but I think that's great! My husband thinks I am too tired to do housework so he's picked up the slack 100%!

I was thinking that you were saying that you are feeling better, not that you didn't have any m/s at all.

I was also saying it jokingly because I have been telling everyone, "Oh I feel better now." Then I wake up this morning and throw up right on my floor. Lovely. If you haven't been sick at all, good for you.

I've felt pretty good in general the whole pregnancy so far. Tired, nauseas on and off, a little sore sometimes....but definitely better than some people who spend entire days in the bathroom with m/s. I'm counting my blessings (and taking lots of naps!)

I'm doing well too! 

I'm tired but I understand why. My Dr explained it as my body is running a marathon inside, it made perfect sense then.

I had one nausea problem, the smell of bacon, since then, nothing. My Dr said MS is a result of your body clearing toxins, apparently I didn't have too many to start with. 

I'm bloated, but its manageable and not something to complain about.

I feel like I'm pretty lucky, but sometimes I feel like I might be missing something too.

I have felt great the whole time too! No nausea, no food aversions, no strange cravings and the exhaustion seems to be fading. My biggest complaint was sore boobs but even that has settled down in the past couple weeks.

I told someone the other day that I'm pregnant and she said "oh I remember that..the misery!". I think I will look back on this as one of the most fun times of my life.

I was feeling good last week and would probably be feeling good this week if I did not have a head cold. I hope getting some sleep this weekend helps ease this darn cold. All I want is my prescription cough syrup at night, but I know that I can't take it while pregnant.

Today is day three of me feeling pretty much normal! I'm loving it!

Have you actually asked?

I had the nastiest cough/cold when I was just barely pregnant, and talked to my pharmacist who said the narcotic cough syrup I was prescribed was fine, and only really a problem if I was near giving birth (the baby would be jonesing for some codiene).

As far as preg symptoms go, mine are pretty mild most days, just fatigue and nausea if I don't eat constantly.  If I didn't have toddlers to care for as well as getting ready to move, I'd be more cheery.
