Calling all Unicorns!

b48kateb48kate member
in June 2014 Moms
For the record, I have not had the worst pregnancy (no HG, clotting issues, bleeds, etc,) but it has still been far from pleasant.  My immune system abandoned me during the first tri and I'm really only starting to get back on my feet.

I hear that there are individuals who have angelical, fantastical, blessed and perfect pregnancies.  The never feel bad, they only gain the right amount of weight where the are supposed to, they feel invigorated and alive.  I have known only one of these magical unicorns IRL.

I am demanding that all of you ladies who have had unicorn pregnancies so far identify yourself so that I may quietly resent you.  Feel free to gloat a little, it will make the resentment sweeter.

    Not a single symptom so far! A little leg crampy but I just eat a banana a day and it stopped.
    I don't want you to resent me though. I'll tell ya I paid my dues with DD. Morning sickness had me hospitalized a few times so did dehydration.
    I wouldn't wish my first and second trimester on my worst enemy.

    I guess I am a Unicorn. I never had any first tri issues, other than being tired but it was never crippling. I have had occasional headaches, but again nothing serious. No cramping, bleeding, or other pain, other than RLP which I don't really think is avoidable. My only real problem has been figuring out ways to justify french fries every day.

    I wish I could be a unicorn. I love unicorns lol But nope, this week my gas could clear a room, no joke. But the m/s has subsided a bit which I am grateful beyond belief for.

    I guess I am a unicorn. Barely any symptoms, but I have gained about 15 lbs so far. Hopefully I lose it within the first 3 months post baby like last time.

    I feel like I was a unicorn in the first tri: no sickness, no vivid dreams, no crazy craving, and just felt tired. I had some back and hip pain once I hit second tri but that has seemed to resolve and my weight gain is steady. But now they want to watch two big fibroids to make sure Junior doesn't get too crowded and I feel as if my unicorn days are up :(

    I was a unicorn until week 14. And I gloated. You know what happened? I got a severe cold twice, started throwing up/vomiting, got extremely tired, and got boob stretch marks. All in a 2 week period. You have been warned Unicorns!

    That said, I am actually really enjoying pregnancy and the only symptom I've been having now is back pain.

    @internationalkate you frickin crack me up... Lol. I walked almost every day after my last pregnancy so I'm pretty sure that's why. I think I'll be less of a unicorn and more like a whale this time...

    I'd classify myself as a unicorn.  No m/s, no bleeding, and no pains so far.  Just the tiredness  and a few food aversions during first trimester.  No one thinks I look pregnant either and I'll be 20 weeks along tomorrow.

    I guess I'm a unicorn too.  I had some fatigue and loss of appetite in 1st tri, but even those were relatively mild.  Although, even though I'm not showing a whole lot yet, I'm starting to get some lower back pain, so I have a feeling I can count on that to get worse as I get bigger.

    Seriously though, I know how lucky I've been and I can't even imagine how awesome you guys are to deal with crappy symptoms and still function.

    With DS I didn't have any morning sickness, pretty much any symptoms. Could hardly tell I was pregnant. I had some heartburn, but that was it. The day we got home from the hospital I wore prepreg pants (fat pants). By the time we did his newborn photos (day 12) I was in my regular pants.
    By the time I got pregnant this time I was 10lbs lighter than before getting pregnant with DS - exactly 2years ago.

    This time in have had very minimal symptoms. Was a bit more tired and have had a few small puking incidents- but those I can mostly relate to food or anxiety. I feel totally normal most of the time. I really hope this pregnancy continues the way my first did. It was very easy- and that included labour/delivery.

    I'm pretty certain that this bragging is going to jinx me, but oh you asked for it ... and if it does jinx me, you'll have one more to join you in your misery.  

    Anyway, I'm pretty much a unicorn.  In fact, so far, I'm a double unicorn.  I felt great with my daughter, no morning sickness, only some exhaustion in the first trimester, and a bit of heartburn.  There were plenty of times I didn't "feel pregnant".  I went to 41 weeks feeling great and even had an easy induction. I did gain a little over 30 pounds, though.  

    With this one, so far, so good.  I've gained 9 pounds and have felt pretty much the same.  

    I know that I'm insanely lucky.  You can resent me, I know that I deserve it.

    Okay, I CLEARLY have been listening to WAY too much Dan Savage... not that that's a bad thing, but I had his usage of "unicorn" in my head as I opened this post.

    I wouldn't say I've had an ideal pregnancy so far - high blood pressure, DS and other issue scares, etc. - but I haven't had a ton of symptoms.  So there's that.

    Pretty much a unicorn... I had some nausea for a few weeks, never puked tho, and it was usually gone after eating something.  I complain about not pooping enough, but in reality, I poop every day and sometimes I just think there should be more.  While I've been tired, I was always tired to begin with. I really just like sleeping. Also, I can still wear all my clothes, just a bit tighter around the waist, which I attribute to being an amazon woman with a lot of space in my torso.
    In any case, I'm sure I'll regret admitting this, because I'm sure I jinxed myself.

    I have a friend who is pregnant with #4, and this is the first time she has ever felt really sick.  She said she has been a bit tired or headachy before, but not debilitatingly tired and never sick.  She told me she used to judge women who had to miss out on things because they were so sick because she thought they were overreacting…and now she is miserable through this first tri!  I teased her a bit about karma, I have to admit (all in good fun).  She does have rougher second halves with pre-term labor and early babies.  I would rather the sickness over that for sure, and I always try to really help her out when I can through the later part.

    Bummer, I think I'm a unicorn... I was only tired in the 1st trimester, and occasionally have some cramps.  No M/S, no nausea, no vomiting.  I eat like a horse (or maybe unicorn?), and have gained weight to prove it.  Still have half the pregnancy to go though, who knows!

    I might be a unicorn as well. Can't really complain about anything but acne, bloating and some random cramping. Although there is always something new every day that hurts. I'm a hypochondriac though.

    Aside from having to pee a ridiculous number of times during the night, most of my symptoms have been pretty minimal. I had no morning sickness, some fatigue, a few headaches, and heartburn. This is my first pregnancy so I hope my husband doesn't think I'm making it up if my future pregnancies are more difficult in the beginning.

    I don't know if I'm a unicorn since I've had all the super crappy symptoms; extreme exhaustion and all day nausea till 13 weeks, sore boobs with crazy nipple pain, back pain and headaches, RLP - but I feel it's very unicorn-y of me to say that I am really, really enjoying being pregnant!

    I'm a unicorn... Well a chubby unicorn. I mean if I was a true unicorn, my bump wouldn't be so wobbly at 19 weeks, right? 
    But yeah, other than hoarding extra calories, my body does a pretty good job at being pregnant. I have nothing real to complain about.

    With DD I had a mostly unicorn pregnancy only a tiny bit of morning sickness during the first trimester. This pregnancy has sucked. If DD had been this hard she would be an only child. So there is payback for a unicorn pregnancy.

    No major pregnancy symptoms here.  Back aches a little and some tightness in my belly.
