18 weekers!

BabyP10312 · May 2013

So I hit 18 weeks on Friday and am developing new symptoms while letting go of others. My all day morning sickness is FINALLY fading! At least I think... Well it's definitely not as bad. I've had more energy to clean, cook, and run errands. But I'm still exhausted at the same time! My sex drive is coming back! And my newest symptom is leg cramps... Oh man are they painful! My tummy is finally growing which I'm so excited about.

How are all you other 18 weekers doing?

I turned 18 weeks Friday too. MS symptoms have been gone for a couple weeks now, but I'm still exhausted. At my last appt my thyroid was way off again, so we bumped up meds and that seems like it's kind of help. I've been getting more headaches and some joint pain than anything. My OB said the joint pain is more than likely the thyroid though. Other than that, nothing exciting going on. Haven't felt baby move a whole lot since my placenta is anterior, but I'm hoping that picks up over the next couple of weeks.

I'll be 18 weeks Wednesday, and yours sound similar to mine. Although, I never had any MS, and I'm still fatigued, I suppose it's less than it was a couple of weeks ago. I don't really have leg cramps, but I get winded way quicker and my sciatica pain has been kicking up lately. I'm already holding my lower back and walking hunched over. Big Smile

Also hit 18 weeks on Friday! So cool the 3 of us have the same due date!
On Friday we had our a/s and we are having a boy! He is super healthy and doing great. He was moving around like crazy! I also have an anterior placenta and haven't felt our little boy yet....that I know of lol.
My ms has been pretty much gone for a couple weeks. I might get sick once a week now but I'm like NEVER nauseous anymore! Yay! I've been a lot hungrier lately. A couple dull headaches and my calves feel sore sometimes..like they do after a Charlie horse...but I haven't actually gotten one. I have been feeling some stretching of muscles by my hips...baby making room! I'm definitely feeling the exhaustion! I can barely make it to 930 without falling asleep on the couch.

I turned 18 weeks today. This is my second pregnancy. I had morning sickness bad with this pregnancy and it seems to be better. The leg cramps I haven't had yet with this one but I did with the last one. Bananas helped a lot. Try that and see if they slack up.

18 weeks today! I popped at 17 weeks! I do seem to have more energy but still have plenty of food aversions! MS really isn't bad for the last few weeks but I seem to get little bouts of nausea! My biggest issue is neck and back pain from sleeping it may be time to get a pregnancy pillow!

I'm 18 weeks too! For the most part the sickness has stopped, along with the extreme fatigue. However, I still tire easily and have killer headaches. My feet have started swelling and I'm having a lot of lower back pain. Besides that life is good lol. This pregnacy is soooo different than the one with my first child.

I have a little bump and we found out we are having another little girl!

I'm 18 weeks as of yesterday and I feel like I can't eat enough! I wake up starving even if I eat a snack right before bed lol. I'm still pretty tired but my energy is slowly coming back. I feel baby moving all the time and that's about it.
