~Wednesday Symptom/? about symptom check-in~

thomas930 · August 2013

Good Morning April Momma's! This is a check-in to SHARE,VENT AND ask QUESTIONS about whatever symptoms you may be experiencing today.

So tell us -

Week/Days:

Baby #:

Symptoms/rants:

Questions:

Since this is a common questions I'm going to address it here. If your symptoms are fading please know that this is normal, they will come and go all through out your pregnancy, it does not mean that you will definitely miscarry. Symptoms are not a good way to gauge if your pregnancy is viable or not. The only person that can tell you that is your doctor or midwife.

People, feel free to offer some advice!

*Keep in mind that we are not doctors and are basing our answers off personal experience. *

This is going to be a post and run since I'm pretty sure that any second from now I'm going to be hugging the toilet....but I'll be back later to chat and offer any advice I can.

Baby #3

Just sore boobs and tired. Also my stomach has felt icky here and there but I really didn't get any morning sickness w- my previous pregnancies. Hoping to keep that trend going!

I have no questions just counting down to 9/12 which is my first u/s @ 8 weeks!

CHD84 · August 2013

Week/Days: I think 6 weeks
Baby #: 1

Last night was rough. I was feeling really nauseous and fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up at 3 AM with that "I am going to throw up right now" feeling that lasted until 5

Which can I say is SO frustrating.. I'd rather just throw up and get it over with! Finally went back to sleep and woke up feeling good.. just had my daily breakfast of an egg and american cheese sandwich that my sweet husband has been making me because that's all I want in the mornings and it was sooooo goood.

I know.. I actually as praying "please just let me go throw up" which is crazy because normally I hate throwing up! But I was sitting there awake for 2 hours just waiting to run to the bathroom

I could NEVER make myself throw up.. I know some people can but I couldn't do it! I guess I'll just have to wait this stage out until the actual throwing up starts.. I have a feeling it will soon

GrinAndBarrett · August 2013

Week/Days: 7w0d

Baby #: 2

Symptoms/rants: I'm starting to feel some "sensations" in my boobs. Still off and on nausea. I haven't thrown up yet (which I did the last time). One more week until my first appointment w/ ultrasound. Very excited for that. On a low note, me and DD are sharing a cold. That stinks!

Questions: Why can't we take naps at work? I have fallen asleep at my desk both Monday and Tuesday of this week. I think the same will happen today.

JNova78 · August 2013

Week/Days: 5w6d

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: Still relatively few symptoms - only cramps and sore boobs (but this is minor)... and that nap yesterday afternoon which messed up my sleep last night.

Questions: My question is how much spotting = spotting? (Sorry for the TMI) Yesterday, on a few trips to the bathroom, I noticed an occasional brown speck (or sometimes a little more) when I wiped. It was light and slight, but happened several times yesterday and again this morning. Is this even considered spotting?

thomas930 · August 2013

@JNova78 its hard for me to say...but if you aren't experiencing cramps and its only brown I wouldn't worry too much. You can always call your doctor if your really concerned.

JNova78 · August 2013

Thanks @thomas930 - I was having some (period like) cramps yesterday, but the "spotting" (if it was that) was so slight that I figured not to worry.

macof3 · August 2013

Im almost sad that I dont have any symptoms. I was saying to DH last night that I wish I felt something so I knew I was still pregnant. Worst part was I had this dream about miscarrying. Its been off and on for the last week but mainly with just fatigue and smells

Anyone else 5 wks without any symptoms?

Basically, me too. I have had cramps (which are worrisome to me for some reason) and some bloating, but that's about it. A few days ago, my boobs started to feel sore, but barely. I'm trying to feel lucky and focus on the fact that no symptoms does not necessarily mean "bad."

lyndsey774 · August 2013

Dry heaving!!! So happy!

I know it sounds crazy but after weeks of zero to light symptoms, heavy symptoms are welcome!

Murray01753 · August 2013

I'm 4wks 6 days and my symptoms seem to be disappearing. Last week I was miserable with cramps, bloating, fatigue, nausea, headaches, wicked sense of smell, and very very very sore boobs. This week, I almost feel normal. A few headaches off and on but all my other symptoms have disappeared. I am hungry all the time though. This is my 1st so I'm a basket case.

macof3 · August 2013

Thanks @JNova78 , it makes me feel better to know Im not the only one. Maybe we will both be part of the lucky group that just goes symptom free. Although, I usually get sick taking multivitamins so Im a little skeptical

I didn't have many symptoms until yesterday....and I wish they had stayed away

They are going to come and go...and that's perfectly normal.

Jujubull · August 2013

ZebNMichelle · August 2013

Week/Days: 6/4

Baby #:2

Symptoms/rants: omg I can't stop being sick!!! And I have a us today and don't know how I'm going to survive the hour drive.
Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed in the fetal position shaking crying moaning and puking it was awful managed to get down two crackers and a little jar of applesauce, And some ginger ail. My doctors on vacation for the week I think I might need to talk to somebody about getting that pill to stop you from being sick. I was like this with my daughter I didn't know any better and lost a ton a weight. lost my ingagment ring. Because my fingers lost much weight and I was sick for like three months.

Questions:
How r u all holding up?

Baby # 1

I have been feeling worse than ever over the past 2 days. I feel like it is somewhat due to allergies! It's driving me crazy! I also have no appetite (no ms)- just a general aversion to food. After I eat (no matter how much/little), I feel like I might explode, the girls are tender, fatigue..... Headaches are finally getting less frequent!

Remer8803 · August 2013

Week/Days: 6 weeks, 0 days

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: Mild cramping, sore boobs. Headaches finally went away. Now I'm starting to get the fatigue. Went grocery shopping Sunday and got home and was absolutely spent.

Questions: Anyone else's doctor having them wait until 11/12 weeks for first u/s? I'll be 11wks+ when I go in. Seriously. October 2. The wait is going to kill me.

Mamamonzo · August 2013

7 wks

So here's my question. DH and I were talking last night and I said I wish I could just throw up, I feel like I would feel so much better. I walk around with a constant lump I'm my throat and I feel like if I could puke I would feel 100x better. He said he has a feeling MS is not like having the flu or feeling hungover and I probably wouldn't feel better afterwards...... Insigt please

Here's hoping I can toss my cookies soon!!

sugarrush · August 2013

Week/Days: 7 weeks 6 days

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: Motion sickness is kicking my ASS. I take a train and bus to work and by the time I arrive to work and get home, im racing to the bathroom for a vomit session. Im throwing up so hard my blood vessels in my eyes are popping. Looking forward to passing this phase.

Take2Tuley · August 2013

5wks/ 6days
Baby#1

No symptoms other than the occasional slight queasiness and twinges on my left side. Other than that, feeling pretty good. ^_^

thomas930 · August 2013

@Remer8803 it's pretty routine to wait that long unless you have a medical reason to need one sooner. Some doctors wont do and u/s until 20 weeks.

@karissamonzo sometimes finally throwing up does help, its usually the case for me. Yesterday I threw up twice and felt great after the second time.

I am experiencing the EXACT same thing and was wondering about the same question!! Thanks for asking!

CalinAZ · August 2013

Baby #1

I feel so much better today after getting a mostly full night of sleep. Still woke up at 1:30 and 4:45, but I wasn't up for that long. Still feeling bloated and crampy, with a little headache. I though my breasts were getting bigger, but looking today, they are the same. I'm a small chested gall, so I am looking forward to that symptom

. Today's the day my period was supposed to arrive, so I am a bit nervous about this *milestone.* A may have taken another HPT test this morning, and yep, still pregnant.

Question: I think I'm actually good this morning. A shout out to people who gave advice about finding and OB a few days ago. I found one that gets great reviews, and also talked to my insurance to make sure that it would be covered. You guys really helped, so thanks!

tabaskoa · August 2013

Week/Days: 6w3d

Baby #: 2

Symptoms/rants: Mainly still just sore boobs. Getting tired earlier at night.

Questions: Nothing really.

Leticiasmugala · August 2013

Week/days: 5w4d

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: Feeling a little icky in the mornings and evenings. But nothing bad yet. Boobs aren't as sore anymore. Still peeing a lot. Can't wait for my US next week and hope to see that heartbeat!

Questions: I'm just taking a normal vitamin for a prenatal. It has 400 mg of folic acid. I have a friend whose Dr told her it was fine for when she was pregnant. I just got so sick from the prenatal vitamins last pregnancy. Anyone else? Or any prenatal vitamin suggestions?

BeckyF82 · August 2013

I found out I was pregnant on Saturday and am v excited! According to the calculators I have done online I am just under 5 weeks pregnant so I know it is VERY early but I swear I am feeling SO weird! I have a really strong "churning" sensation in my stomach where it is constantly making noises so loudly other people can hear it. On top of this I feel so bloated that I have had to lift the waistband of my tracksuit trousers up over my tummy so it is just under my boobs making me look like some sort of Simon Cowell reject! lol!

Also I can't lean forward when sitting down because I feel like am squashing my stomach which is uncomfortable.

I also suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome anyway which I have always managed myself with no medication and it has suddenly got much worse with me getting urgent bowel cramps in the middle of the night (Sorry for TMI!)

I am boiling hot, particularly at night so my hubby has had to dig our fan out to try and cool me down. All of this means that I have hardly slept at all so I am exhausted. I literally only slept for about 2 hours overall last night. My poor hubby is normally lovely but when I tried to get sympathy this morning after the 3rd night feeling like this he said that I had to man up because this was only the tip of the iceberg and it was going to get much worse in future! Doh! I nearly kicked him out of bed but he also has a point and I don't want to be annoyed and moany because we're so excited to be pregnant!

Gone off my food a bit too and feeling a little bit dizzy / nauseous on occasion.

Just thankful that as I am a teacher I am not at work at the moment as I am on summer holidays. God knows how I'm going to cope if I am still not sleeping when I go back to work on the 2nd Sept!

michaelad3 · August 2013

Week/Days: 4/3

Symptoms/rants: just crampy and gassy mostly, which is annoying. Mild nausea, but nothing really noticeable or out of the ordinary. Having more trouble sleeping and staying asleep.

leighbball · August 2013

6w3d baby 2

Just threw up for the first time...it was all mucous (thank you post nasal drip) but I hope it's not the start of something more significant. Other than my fun new development...bloated, tired, peeing, heightened sense of smell, and moody.

Here's hoping I can hide my pg from my parents when we leave for vacation on Friday for a week...dh said if they find out its not the end of the world, but my stepmom will never be able to keep the secret until the end of my first tri

Do symptoms really decrease in the 2nd trimester?

I pray daily that it does!!!

thomas930 · August 2013

@Leticiasmugala I use the prenatal gummies, I found the the smell and taste of the pills always made me feel sick.

@hvmom2b usually, the hormones start to level out so symptoms start to level out too.

sadurnba18 · August 2013

6weeks today!
Baby# 1

Still feeling pretty good...fatigue is better today after falling asleep at 8pm last night, but I still feel like I could nap right now

still some very mild cramping and mildly sore boobs, but overall I'm feeling very lucky in the symptom camp. First appointment is next Thursday!

AmazinGrace9 · August 2013

Baby # 1

I'm feeling pretty good! Crazy tired by 9pm, and I've been sleeping like a rock until my 6am alarm (I am typically a light sleeper, so this has been great!). Headaches and cramps have both been lightening up. Hopefully the zits upon zits will soon follow suit! I don't have much of an appetite, but I make sure to eat enough and the 'right' stuff. I find this weird, but I already checked with Dr. Google... right now, I have SO MUCH energy while running! Granted, it takes some self convincing to get started, but once actually running, I feel like I could go for miles and miles! Any existing moms have increased energy during previous pregnancies??

Can't same the same for myself. I am exhausted all day everyday

The energy could be from the endorphin's that are release while you are running. I hope it last for you! Enjoy the extra juice!

Symptoms: all day nausea, tired, heartburn, lower back aches toward the end of the day, none of my shorts fit because I am so bloated, so needing to wear yoga capris. very moody...poor husband. food aversions...this morning it was the noodles in a cup and hard boiled eggs.

Samuel's mommy · August 2013

@oopsbaby14 and abbymac. I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one without symptoms. Agreed it would be nice to have sore boobs or ms. I pray every night for one or the other. Crazy I know but it's never happened to me so freaking a little. Even took another pregnancy test today... Pos

Week/Days: 5w1d

Baby #: 2

Symptoms/rants: Nausea hit me bad this morning, but once I was able to eat, I felt a little better. I get lightheaded/dizzy a lot more often than I remember with my first so I try to stay seated as often as possible. Boobs are feeling fuller and just slightly tender, but other than that I feel pretty good. Just can't wait to see this little been on the u/s screen.
