8 weeks & symptoms waning?

fat2fitnessmodel · August 2013

I'm 8 weeks along, I only struggled with nausea and vomiting from weeks 5-7. As of a few days ago (about a day prior to my first US- they confirmed heartbeat at 167), that nausea is dissipating and my breasts aren't as sore. Am I one of the lucky ones? Or should I be concerned? I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and everything was fine. This is my first pregnancy and don't want to be a worrier.

My symptoms disappeared for about a week but came back. Enjoy while you can! Also sometimes if it's hormone related your body will level off when your body catches up.
Hopefully you are just one of he lucky ones!

I'm new to this site as of yesterday. There's absolutely zero reason to be rude. Thank you.

fat2fitnessmodel · August 2013

Thank you for responding! Sorry, I did not see other posts about this on my phone (I use the app)... Apparently some people prefer rudeness over help. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Eh pregnancy hormones ^
This happened to me today, I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow, I've read mixed things about it. All we can do is relax and see what happens

linzybee8 · August 2013

It looks like a lot of ladies are having hormonal issues this afternoon. I seriously can not figure out why people care so much about repeat questions. If you don't care to answer, just don't... Some people can't seem to pass up being snarky and rude.

As for me, my symptoms seem to be intensifying!!! To think I wasn't having many the other week and was hoping I'd get them all to "feel more pregnant" I got my wish!!! I'm sure you're fine - everyone's pregnancy is different. (sorry, I think that phrase has been said on this board already...)

Have a good one!

RunNanny · August 2013

You are perfectly fine and normal! I know many women who got nausea/MS from weeks 5-8, women who got it weeks 9-12, and women who got it weeks 10-20. Every woman is different and every woman's pregnancy is different than her others. I got MS at 5 1/2 weeks and it's slowly diminishing at 8 weeks. Weeks 6 & 7 were horrible! So just count yourself lucky! Enjoy and let worry go!

fat2fitnessmodel · August 2013

Haha it's ok. I just got an account as o last night so I'm still new. I expect cattiness on any online board, but don't tolerate it. ;-) And oops!! Hate getting what we wish for! Lol. Hope you ease up soon. :-) xo

lvlichelle · August 2013

Mine has done the same thing.. my nausea came back a little bit today.. nothing major, just enough to notice.

Johndeeremommy3 · August 2013

I was thinking the same thing jazzyexpo and linzybee8. I think a more appropriate approach would've been suggesting the other threads that had been posted to help answer her questions. Or don't even respond in the first place. Problem solved.

Enjoy ur mild symptoms because tomorrow might be a different day.

KariB509 · August 2013

Sounds to me like you may just lucky. Symptoms do come and go though. I don't think you have anything to worry about

Deannaphoto · August 2013

Just because someone isn't looking at every thread doesn't mean they need to have their head bitten off. I personally only check the first few pages before I post something. I could be guilty without even knowing it too. If you want this to be a community feeling, don't harass the neighbors if you have nothing nice to say.

linzybee8 · August 2013

I am in no way offended by "drive by users" -- maybe they don't have anyone else to talk to. Maybe they haven't announced their pregnancies to those they could talk to. Maybe they feel better getting confirmation from others in their shoes after Googling it. You know, since everything on Google is so accurate. Maybe they're really that concerned and worked up that no, they didn't take the time to search every thread for the answer they're looking for. Heaven forbid.

I'm sorry this is so upsetting to you. I hope in the future I don't accidentally ask a repeat question and ruin your entire day.

Give yourself a couple more months. It will drive you insane. Just wait for it...

RunNanny · August 2013

Honestly, I don't think BandTeacher did anything wrong. All she said at first was that there 3 posts already like this one so in a way she kind of was suggesting to read the other posts for answers. I know I may have repeated questions in the past and if someone let's me know if I do in the future (because yes, going through all the post/pages to try to find what you are looking for can get old when you are on page 4 and just want to know what the answer so you ask) I will just be like okay, my bad, I'll just keep looking and be done with it. That's just my opinion and I can see both sides of it.

Maybe you don't need to be on this thread if something that stupid will ruin your whole day.

Have a good one!

"Here is why: because some of us would like this board to have a sense of community. This isn't Google. Right now all we have are repeat posts about the same 5 questions. There have been hardly any discussions of substance because we have so many new posts each day. Most of those posters haven't contributed to any else's discussions. They just want their answer, then they leave. They call this getting "support." I call it being a drive-by user".

I don't think being rude fosters a sense of community either. And just because something might not be of "substance" to you doesn't mean it's not for whoever is posting. If someone is newly posting and doesn't have the hang of yet, it doesn't necessarily mean that when they figure things out they're going to become drive by users. They should at least be given a chance to join the "community" before they start receiving such curt responses. Pregnancy is a nerve wracking time for everyone and should be met with helpful responses.

bdetermined247 · August 2013

I don't think it's that serious to get angry about..It's just a question. Me being new to here might ask a repetitive question too and sometimes you just ask. If someone doesn't want to answer, they don't have to. But, I think with all of hormones, it's best to keep everything calm. No need to worked up for no reason.

Maybe they are just lazy asses that can't take two seconds to look 5 questions and 9 questions down to see that the same question was already asked and answered. The pure laziness is quite offensive to me, frankly. This must be your first rodeo lizzybee so good luck with that.

You'll see. It's annoying. No one said anything about day-ruining.

I don't understand the correlation either. I didnt say it ruined my day, but it's annoying. It would be like having the same conversation every single day.

linzybee8 · August 2013

Alright, I'm done with this. Let's just all agree that these boards are intended for support and move on with our lives haha

Deannaphoto · August 2013

Some of us are truly here to support each other.

RunNanny · August 2013

I soooo wish I was on my computer and could put a picture of that woman from the news "Ain't nobody got time for that!" ...this is how I feel. Lol

Msvic87 · August 2013

LOL! Wow. The lovely thing about communities is that they house ALL kinds of people.

Personally, I'm here for the support. If I wanted entertainment I'd have plenty of other places to look. (Netflix, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Youtube)

(although I will admit that I found the cranky people on this thread to be pretty entertaining

)

BUT, to each their own.

And, since it's a free country, feel free to ask whatever questions you'd like. The annoyed people will put their big girl panties on sooner or later and just scroll past the conversation like an adult.

Welcome to all your new ladies and congrats on this new adventure!

fat2fitnessmodel · August 2013

Just do what I do and ignore them. Works every time. They can sit in their circle of "Everyone is annoying" and that circle will never get bigger because they're too busy commenting on posts that bother them rather than move past it. And for what it's worth, I've scrolled down a ton of posts today on my Bump App and this is the only one I've seen. If I would have seen another, I wouldn't have posted.

If you're a cranky pregnant lady stay off threads. Plain and simple. Some people actually, you know, want support. :-) Take another nap!

Some people actually, you know, look through other threads and give support before they ask for it. Like the symptom thread that gets posted daily.

Yes. Yes. Yes!!

jazzyexpo · August 2013

I actually expect symptom threads daily, or 2 or 3 threads, because we are in the first tri. In the second tri, I expect when will I feel my baby move, why haven't I, etc. or all gender posts. In third tri, I expect people to talk about how they think they'll go into labor early, baby shower questions and people saying they shouldn't host their own shower, and how over being pregnant everyone is. That's pretty much what is on people's minds, general things/ ideas. Mixing it with nurseries and should I get this or that, which is better questions. You just have to expect it, it happens. Whether its annoying or not, it happens. Then the trolls come in, just to have fun and watch people go crazy. Those I usually just watch. Now I need a milkshake.

keilani28 · August 2013

Hello fat2fitnessmodel. I am going through the same thing right now. and yes I've googled this and have found not too favorable information regarding losing symptoms, morning sickness in particular. I actually searched for threads on here with people going through what I am today and didn't see any. Yours was the first. I was happy to see yours pop up. I actually wrote me doctor and nurse practitioner today about my concerns (I haven't received a response yet). But it is nice to connect with someone/others who are going through the same thing. Everyone is different, but it is always nice to get support. This is the reason I signed up on here. For the support. Pregnancy is a scary thing. We may not connect with everyone, but there may be someone/others who are going through the same thing and can offer support. I have went through a heartbreaking miscarriage in my second trimester and this I hope will be my rainbow baby. If I reached out to this community with an issue that is in the moment frightening, the last thing I would want is for people to belittle my post. @fat2fitnessmodel I hope that you continue to have a healthy pregnancy and hope you will continue to update. My first appointment won't be until next Friday, so the wait will be torture.

Msvic87 · August 2013

@kelani28, thank you for sharing about something so close to your heart and thank you for speaking truth in an eloquent and much needed way. I'll be thinking about you during this waiting period and praying for a healthy pregnancy for you and your partner. Looking forward to keeping in touch

@fat2fitnessmodel, don't let other people's negativity stop you from sharing! I hope you have an awesome night.

Assilemmm09 · August 2013

Woohoo go march 2014 moms!

karacakes98 · August 2013

I'm 8w4d and my symptoms have been much more manageable the last two days. ::runs away to knock on wood::

sprightlysparrow7 · August 2013

Who died and made you the Forum Queen? Haha.

Seriously...don't worry so much about it. Maybe she just wanted some advice from some real folks out there rather than Wikipedia. Live and let live...and don't let someone's board post give you a stroke!

keilani28 · August 2013

@fat2fitnessmodel my doctor received my message and called me in todoy to check on my pregnancy. I will update either here or on a post.

Hrose7091 · August 2013

Wow this is ridiculous.. Grown women acting like children because they're annoyed a question was asked more than once. I mean, really?? Are any of you mothers yet? And this is what you're wasting your time arguing about? Sorry I have a child and don't have all day to browse every page.

Do you feel sorry for our children? What about our husbands?

We're all terrible, bitter fat women who are awful mothers. No one likes us IRL. Not even our DHs.
