What symptom are you happy to not have?

nicolewhelan · January 2014

I like reading the daily symptom check in boards and finding out all the different symptoms people are going through, and as I read through them I find myself thinking "oh I'm so glad I don't have that symptom!". So I'm just curious, what's the number 1 symptom you are happy to NOT have right now? Hopefully this doesn't ginx me!

MissBHaven1024 · January 2014

All of them! Aside from being tired, I never have symptoms; just the growing belly!

Mztwilson · January 2014

All of the ones that sucked.

Eta I really miss morning sickness. (Sarcasm)

mslovesbo · January 2014

No constipation. No sore, swollen, or tender boobs. No cravings. No super smell.

Lakirat · January 2014

I would have said nausea but it came hit me again just this Wednesday. Instead, I'm going with constipation. I can't imagine what the poor ladies who haven't gone in 5+ days are going through...

lellymine · January 2014

I had a rough first trimester but now the only symptom I regularly have is needing a nap in the afternoon.

erind228 · January 2014

This applies more to first tri, but I've never experienced much morning sickness with any of my pregnancies. Just slight nausea. I'll take it!

katekat8721 · January 2014

I have experienced everything all the pregnancy books list from BFP to 17 weeks. Bad nausea/vomiting, gagginess, heartburn, super smell, swelling of fingers, sciatica pain, joint pain, RLP, cramping, spotting/bleeding, congestion, nose bleeds, constipation, diarrhea, shortness of breath, achy feet/numb hands, sore boobs, aching nips, insomnia, nightmares, vivid dreams, fatigue, increased sex drive, decreased sex drive, niagra falls vagina, stretch marks, itchy skin... dear lord. I don't know if it's because I'm having twins or what, but there have been some rough days!

But (corny alert) I'm surprisingly ok with it all. I think my PAIF brain would have freaked out a lot more if I didn't have symptoms.

I also don't hate you girls who don't have any symptoms. Unless AS I'm vomiting you were to tell me in the stall next to me "Oh is that you in there throwing up? I never ever threw up when I was pregnant...". Then I may throat punch you.

I am not going to participate just for the reason that I KNOW I'll jinx myself if I mention what I'm happy to not have.

Ladybird2014 · January 2014

I am glad mine have all vanished...I would luuuvvvv a pair of boobs!!! I just want to be a full C before the milk comes in. This bump literally looks like someone put a basketball under my shirt.

MarciP83 · January 2014

I had horrrrrrrrible swelling in my hands/ankles/feet with my first two pregnancies. The first one was so bad the skin on my feet actually cracked/split. It.was.awful. So far this time around I have zero swelling anywhere, unless you count my bump

I am so grateful, yet realize there's still plenty of time. And like @Ladybird2014 said...a nice pair o' knockers would be fantastic. But seeing as how my boobs didn't grow much with my first two, I'm not holding my breath for anything earth shattering with this one either.

Ladybird2014 · January 2014

@MarciP83 my third as well. I was praying that since this one is a boy I would at least finish strong!!!!Ill just have to wait until the milk arrives!!!

PinkKEL9 · January 2014

I don't really have any symptoms right now. I did earlier in pregnancy but for now its pretty normal. Sometimes I don't even feel pregnant until I feel her moving around in there. I am thankful to be having a easy pregnancy though, so far.

MarciP83 · January 2014

@Ladybird2014...ditto! First two were girls and this is a boy. I was also really hoping to enjoy some serious cleavage. I, too, will be awaiting la leche. Best wishes to you!

Ladybird2014 · January 2014

@MarciP83....omg congrats..I thought this was totally a girl because I have 2 already. I convinced myself this was another girl....I am still in shock!!!! GL and enjoy your baby boy!!!

nicolewhelan · January 2014

@lakirat I'm with you, I'm so thankful to not have any constipation going on. I have been worried about having that issue but so far so good!

I've got a lot of the other symptoms, but I've not found myself complaining too much about them recently...there's still a long way to go though:)

gregsgurl81304 · January 2014

Not missing all the the heart burn!!!

Had it bad with DS, this time is so far so good!!! Keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way!

CherSomething · January 2014

I'm so glad I haven't had heartburn (yet). It was chronic during my first pregnancy. Hopefully it will stay away.
Glad I don't have m/s either, but I've never had it.

babygabe614 · January 2014

Morning sickness. I'm so so so grateful I haven't had to deal with any of that nonsense.

bebemac · January 2014

Thankful I don't have: vomiting, acne, swelling, back/hip pain, diarrhea, insomnia, RLP, nosebleeds, sore boobs, and discharge.

kbellizio3 · January 2014

I was a DD before getting KU, and now my DH will gladly say "your boobs are getting HUGER!" (Which isn't even a word) So I will gladly share with you ladies wanting some boobage.

I'm glad I never had the morning sickness. I feel so bad for all the ladies who did/do! I'm also not constipated either. However me not having practically any symptoms except RLP makes me wonder if I'm going to get screwed on the delivery aspect lol.

flerlgirl · January 2014

I'm quite content without any of them.

My least favorite was the MS, though

pcourtade · January 2014

Gas pains sucked! I literally was curled up in bed all night and didn't get much sleep because of them! I'm happy not to have sore breasts because they would somehow get hit everyday. And I'm happy that food isn't gross anymore. I would love it if I stopped breaking out like a teenager! Where is my clear face and healthy glow??

amleona2 · January 2014

@pcourtade, I'm breaking out too! My usual go to is glycolic acid to keep my skin clear by my doc says it's a big no no so I'm just using a super gentle Shea cleanser to atleast control the random patch of eczema that showed up on my face lol other than that I'm just battling back/hip pain, sciatica and headaches. I'll take it as long as she's healthy!

I'll try the Shea cleanser, thanks. Everyone's been telling me there's a good chance the baby's a girl since I breaking out. I'll find out soon! I'll take 9 months of zits for the baby lol.
