**Symptoms Check In**

Happy weekend friends! Post your gripes about symptoms here!
Yesterday from the time I left work to when I went to bed I peed 6 times in 4 hours. That's dumb.
My boobs/nipples hurt so bad. It hurts to run. It hurts to put on or take off a bra. It hurts when I wake up and move off my stomach. That's dumb.
I fart constantly. That's dumb.
My DD made me watch American Idol last night and I watched Aretha Franklin sing, and she looks so old but sings so well still, and it made me tear up. That's dumb.

Re: **Symptoms Check In**
My boobs are also killing me.
I am literally nauseated all.the.time. I can't make it through a single meal without feeling like I will barf.
I am exhausted constantly, to the point where my clean freak self has stopped caring about the condition of my house.
My pants don't fit. I have actually lost weight from the nausea, and I know some of it is bloat--but even with the bloating I had during my first two pregnancies, I could still wear my pants comfortably until the end of first tri. I'm guessing some of it has to do with the fact that it is my third and things are stretching out already. I hate the "in between" stage.
I think about wanting sex during the day. Get home, stretchy pants, make dinner, clean up and I'm done. If this keeps up, I"ll be a single parent in no time
eta: not really, he is quite understanding, but it's getting old.

I'm a fart machine. I wish I could hook a bubble wand to my butt or something so when I fart it at least would be entertaining.
I'm peeing crazy amounts. Like I've peed 4 times in the last hour.
My boobs hurt so bad i feel like they got ran over with a car. It hurts more so when they come out of my bra at the end of the day.
I've been getting real nostalgic lately and tearing up about how I'm going to be a real grown up now (LOL) and then I think of memories about when I was little and still want to be my mom's little girl forever but now I'm having my own baby and it's hard to believe and weird that I keep thinking about that stuff because some days I wish I could go back to that where everything was easy and I could just play outside. I feel like time flew by. I have no idea where these thoughts and feelings are coming from. My brain is just trying to make me extra emotional, which is pretty dumb.
ETA: Nausea really hit me yesterday and is continuing. Yaaaaaaaaay.
My food aversion has been so bad, I haven't been able to cook in weeks. I love to cook. Last night I was actually having a "good" nausea day ... if there even is such a thing. I made some sweet and sour chicken for dinner. Halfway through eating, I start to dry heave. This morning, the thought of the meal makes me dry heave.
I burp all the time. I seriously can't go 5 minutes without burping.
I was proofreading our church bulletin yesterday (I'm a church secretary) and I saw that someone was singing for the special music my wedding song. I seriously started crying. Watch out Sunday morning worship - the waterworks are going to be flowing full force.
I woke up 4 times last night to pee. And there were thunderstorms last night. Peeing + thunder = no sleep.
Also, my hunger is getting out of control...woke up at 4:30 am today for the 2nd night in a row absolutely starving. I tried to be healthy and had a bowl of cereal and a cup of yogurt at 5 am and was still hungry! Forced myself to go back to sleep and wait till a normal hour to eat more food. Last night it was a PB and J sandwich at 3 am. No wonder I am up 4 lbs already....Eeek!
Nausea is still here, but definitely not as intense as it was. Hoping it's on the way out permanently!
I was done with M/S until dinner 2 nights ago then it started again. It only lasted that night.
I fart a lot. When I'm alone. When I'm around DH. I don't care.
I'm so moody. I can go from happy to wanting throw something in somebody's face.
I hate my sense of smell. I got a dog bed for our lab and I regret it. She barely uses it and I swear it makes the whole house stink. I don't even want to be upstairs anymore.
I sat on the deck last night sniffing the air and realized my dog and I were doing the same thing.

Nausea
Burping and Farting Constantly
Feeling Sexy during the day sleepy when he gets home
Slacking on the housework
Crying during commercials
Knowing that at the end of this I get another little nugget to cuddle and tickle makes all of these things worth it
HAHAHAHA I just pictured that in my head and it was really hilarious. I've actually done the same thing while in the backyard with my dog. Pregnancy is weird!
Food aversions have kicked in. I get waves of nausea in the AM and the PM. Luckily it is not so bad during the day. I am constantly bloated and gassy. I still can't get rid of my new bacne. I am too exhausted to be of any use at home. I am way too exhausted for sex but know that it is an important part of our marriage so I will probably put out tonight.
This, but also when rolling over in the middle of the night. Pain wakes me up, then I have to pee because I am up. I had been wearing a sports bra to bed since last week, but hadn't the past couple of nights because I need to do laundry
HAHAHA!

So freakin' exhausted all of the time. My house looks liked bomb went off but I just don't have the energy to deal with it.
Crazy food aversions. Only random things sound good to me at random times. I really miss enjoying meals.
Queasy pretty much all of the time but I'm starting to get used to it so at least I can sleep now. Been taking zofran for a week and the subsequent severe constipation hit me hard last night. Had my first enema because of it. Good times.
Absolutely no sex drive. At all. Poor DH, he's been so great but I know it's really wearing on him.
I would like to ditto both of these. Also, someone please invent the fart bubblewand.
I've been feeling nauseous pretty much since day one, and had thrown up/dry heaved maybe three times in six weeks. Yesterday though, from about eight in the morning until two or three in the afternoon, I threw up every thirty minutes. After awhile, there's nothing left to come up, so it's just bile. So now, not only does my stomach hurt from round ligamnt pain, it also hurts from throwing up. Yep, today is great.
And acne is popping up in places where it should not be!!
My nausea has pretty much disappeared but will come up randomly...
food aversions
exhausted and noooooo energy to do anything
my boobs hurt pretty bad to where hugging someone hurts
thats pretty much it for now....
Mommy of four munchkins!
Exhaustion
Bad skin
Starving all the time
A Boy's Room
My nausea has basically gone away, it just shows itself occasionally.
I have now become a food monster and want to eat everything I see, even if it's someone elses.
I am starting to get headaches.
Itchy belly.
Very...ummm...well....horny...no nice way to say it!

That's interesting people are saying it's too soon to have symptoms. In my last pregnancy, the symptoms were THE WORST in the first few weeks, and got waaaay better in the 2nd tri.
A Boy's Room
Pretty sure I could rival Niagara Falls with how much I pee.
Sick of being starving then making a big old plate that looks delicious, take a few bites and can't eat any more because it makes me want to barf. This is why my husband has gained more weight than me! Me: "I can't eat this, you want it?" DH: "Sure!"
My right boob is obviously larger then the left and when naked my husband and I just laughed at it- so much for having sex.
(My sex drive is already high, now I have scared my self on how frisky I am! We make rabbits look bad.)
and I cry and then I laugh and then I get mad that I have become "that pregnant emotional lady" I never wanted to be. For some crazy reason I was convinced I will beable to control it...ha! yeah right!
example:
Last night at 10pm while we were watching Rules of Engagement and Patrick Warburton (sexiest man/voice ever born) was eating shrimp.So of course I wanted shrimp, I ALWAYS have 2-3 bags in the freezer of shrimp. Last night of course not a single shrimp in my freezer. then I cried. then hubby and I laughed at the fact that I was crying. then I cried again...alot, hubby laughed alot.
My nipples are constantly sore...my fiance doesn't understand how sore they are and always wants to touch on my boobs and gets yelled at.
I am constantly hungry but will eat two or three bites of something and feel completely full...this is the most annoying thing to me. I feel like I have to force myself to eat at least half of a meal and want to throw up the whole time because i'm so full
I still have mood swings but not as bad..lately i've been tearing up during tv shows and movies
Story of my life
I switched to taking my PNVs at night and omg my appetite is back! I am so happy. I still have little bouts of nausea, but I discovered that Yogi ginger tea makes that go right away. No other brand works, I have no idea why.
Eggs are the devil. I can't stand the way they look, smell, taste, or feel. Doesn't matter how they're cooked (unless I can't see them, such as in breads). This was a rather sudden thing, and also unfortunate. My body can't handle meat right now, so eggs WERE one of my main sources of protein. Whoops.
I have been having the craziest dreams. Vivid dreams are normal I suppose, but last night I had a dream that my SIL poured hot water all over herself so I had to call 911, but none of the phones would work (or rather, I couldn't figure out how to use them). This was immediately followed by a dream in which my brother tried to blow up our childhood house for the insurance money. Dafuq?
Finally...exhaustion all day followed by insomnia at night continues to be my biggest and most bothersome negative symptom. I would probably die of happiness if I could have just ONE solid night of sleep.
This. It makes me sad.
This! I haven't had such a problem with acne on my back and chest since I was in high school! Stupid hormones.
Current symptoms -- well, I'm constantly peeing like almost everyone else...it's embarrassing.
Still got the nausea whenever I eat too much at once, but it's manageable, I still get some food in my tummy.
My chest hurts if anyone pokes it, touches it, anything, though wearing a bra isn't too bad.
In the past few days, we've realized I can't be up long without getting dizzy, which led to me nearly passing out in the middle of Wal*Mart, which really isn't good since DH will insist on me not going when we both know he forgets things without me.
And last, but not least, and also not completely sure if pregnancy related or just something random that's started to happen to me independent of it...I've been getting really bad headaches in addition to back, hip, knee, and neck pain. Back and knee pain I was expecting, as I've had issues with both in the past due to old injuries that never got properly tended to, but it was just so sudden, one day, BAM pain, and it hasn't gone away yet.
So I'm just a fluffy little bundle of joy over here.
