EDD- 12/12

No new symptoms! Many of my symptoms are starting to subside, thank goodness! My boobs are still a little sore though. Bring on 2nd tri!!

My least was the nasuea. It wasn't that bad, but I just hated not being hungy for anything. It hasn't been too bad, so I don't have a way of coping....

Some people are telling me I shouldn't be exercising anymore. Just goes to show how uneducated about their bodies some people are.

How far along/EDD?

11 weeks on Thursday - Dece 15, 2011

Any new symptoms?

Nothing new - just the same old things

Any old symptoms disappear?

The m/s let up after weeks of suffering - I actually don't feel like complete hell for once

Least favorite symp?

The m/s from hell. - Thankful that maybe I am moving away from that.

Best way of coping?

Was trying any and all methods and nothing was really working - just tried to muscle through the best I could

Most annoying advice you've received?

Suck it up and it will be over soon. Don't complain about the throwing up it is all a gift from God

chrlyr · May 2011

How far along/EDD? 12w1d - EDD 12/6/11

Any new symptoms? I think I've started feeling round ligament pain and I've had a little bit of tailbone pain.

Any old symptoms disappear? Aside from the nipples, my boobs really aren't sore anymore. I'm still tired and hungry, but not as much.

Least favorite symp? The bloating. On Monday I was so bloated that my back started to hurt. It was bad.

Best way of coping? I try to take naps when I can, even if it's just a short one.

Most annoying advice you've received? This isn't really symptom related, but my MIL has been strongly hinting that she wants us to use the pediatrician that she used for my DH and SIL. Thanks, but I'll figure this one out on my own.

Lexie Marie · May 2011

How far along/EDD? 11 weeks & 5 days DD: 12-9-11

Any new symptoms? M/s mostly in the morning only and the nausea has died down some. Newest symptoms... killer heartburn-hit or miss though. Minor tailbone pain- related?

Any old symptoms disappear? M/s is becoming less intense, constipation seems to be gettin getter- no longer taking stool softerns.

Least favorite symp? Wake up-m/s

Best way of coping? Zofran one hour before I plan to get up.

Most annoying advice you've received? I need to make sure I'm eating, make sure I'm eating healthy...blah blah blah. Try not to think about the m/s it will be all worth it in the end.

HazelBee22 · May 2011

How far along/EDD? Almost 12 weeks, 12.8.11

Any new symptoms? The pregnancy brain. OMG. I have moments where I am totally spacey

Any old symptoms disappear? I got through my whole shower without throwing up today! Hopefully m/s is on the way out.

Least favorite symp? The m/s. I could deal with the constipation, boob pain, gas, heartburn, etc... but the nausea? Awful.

Best way of coping? Zofran and constantly eating/drinking.

Most annoying advice you've received? The continued advice of soda crackers/ginger from people that know I had to visit my doctor for medication. Um, if my m/s was so bad that it required medical intervention I think we are beyond the help of soda crackers. Thanks though.

Blondie3328 · May 2011

How far along/EDD? 12/17

Any new symptoms? Nothing new I don't think

Any old symptoms disappear? m/s seems to have disapeared, food aversions are subsiding and the bloat is finally going down.

Least favorite symp? The food aversions were probably the worst for me, I hated being so hungry but having so few options!

Best way of coping? I ate a ton of cerial and have a new found love of pb&j sandwiches.

Most annoying advice you've received? Nothing too bad yet, we only went public yesterday though, I'm sure there's lots to come!

mrsfowler1016 · May 2011

Least favorite symp? Queasiness and cramping! Especially after I eat candy, it gets really bad.

Best way of coping? Sleeeep

Most annoying advice you've received? Any pregnant woman can get on WIC, just do it. It doesn't matter what you make. See MIL post.

Lexie Marie · May 2011

HazelBee22:

The continued advice of soda crackers/ginger from people that know I had to visit my doctor for medication. Um, if my m/s was so bad that it required medical intervention I think we are beyond the help of soda crackers. Thanks though.

This. Every bit of it!

HazelBee22:

How far along/EDD? 11 weeks tomorrow. EDD 12/15
Any new symptoms? Not really...except that my bloat bump isn't going away in the morning, so don't know if a real bump is starting to show or still bloat. Oh ya - and my boobs have been really itchy lately.
Any old symptoms disappear? My boobs aren't as sore, so that's good.
Least favorite symp? Feeling sick. It's so hard to eat when nothing sounds good.
Best way of coping? Drinking ginger ale and just going to bed.
Most annoying advice you've received? "It's going to get worse" - as far as how you feel during pregnancy. Did you think I assumed it was going to be a walk in the park?

Any new symptoms? boobs getting sore; more nausea; tender in my lower left abdomen (hopefully gas related)

Any old symptoms disappear? not really

Best way of coping? naps, eating frequently

Most annoying advice you've received? none really - but we haven't talked about the pregnancy to many people yet.

Any old symptoms disappear? No

Least favorite symp? The nausea.

Most annoying advice you've received? I haven't gotten much advice, not too many people know yet...

BAMA6639 · May 2011

How far along/EDD? 12w6d, December 1st

Any new symptoms? Constipation is finally rearing its ugly head.

Any old symptoms disappear? I'm not as tired as I was during 1st tri.

Least favorite symp? Tie between constipation and my sore, sore boobs. I couldn't do a pose in yoga last night that required me to lay on my stomach because my chest hurt so bad.

Best way of coping? I'm increasing my fiber intake and it that doesn't work, I'm moving onto milk of magnesia. For the sore boobs, I'm just hoping that fades away as I go through 2nd tri.

Most annoying advice you've received? OMG-you can't eat Caesar salad dressing! This is from my BFF who looked at me like I was poisoning my baby when I ate a bowl of pre-packaged salad the other week. Um, I'd probably have a greater chance of getting something from the lettuce than I would the dressing.

MLPT2012 · May 2011

HazelBee22:
Good Morning!!

How far along/EDD? - 12/23

Any old symptoms disappear? Nausea seems to be going away already so fingers crossed that this lasts
Least favorite symp? My BMs are all over the place and its driving me crazy. I used to be pretty regular ( TMI lol )
Best way of coping? Trying to eat healthier every day
Most annoying advice you've received? - I am a hairstylists and people keep asking me if I should still be doing it. I wear gloves and am not breathing in the chemicals directly... I keep far enough distance between the chemicals and my nose/mouth. Many woman I work with have kids and worked through out their pregnancies with no worries and they have beautiful healthy children. I appreciate the concerns but Im not giving up my work.

Best way of coping? Trying to eat very small meals constantly throughout the day...

Most annoying advice you've received? Not really advice but everyone seems to have very strong feelings about whether I am having a boy or girl... I keep getting comments like "Oh you're definately having a girl. I just know it!" or "You're throwing up so much, I'm positive it's a boy!" I don't know why but that annoys me... I'll find out in December thanks lol

Best way of coping?

Trying to find something that doesn't make me want to hurl.

Most annoying advice you've received?

The only thing REALLY grinding my gears is my mom and grandmother trying to name my baby. I already have names picked out, but they're constantly calling me with these ugly names they have come up with that I have to name the baby. Oh, and they're all girl names. Because there's no possible way I could ever give birth to a boy Super Angry

Most annoying advice you've received? Upon telling MIL we're pregnant and hoping this baby sticks she replied with "It will". I guess she has an in with the Big Man. Also, she followed that up with "don't do laundry or carry anything, wait until I come on Tuesdays to do it". Ok I won't pick up DD or do laundry for the three people living in the house (one of which uses cloth diapers) and we'll just sit in our stink until you show up and carry the load downstairs. Sure...
