Monday Funday Symptoms Check-in

@Beaujolais11‌, thanks for the info, I'll
try putting my feet up. I literally run to the bathroom every hour b/c I'm
convinced AF will show. I'm a nut job.

@holly628, lol ok, sorry! I guess no more water needed. Like I said, I'm not the expert. I saw the same thing with our appointments and due dates. I'm praying for sticky babies too. I'm glad my due date is at the end of the month. I'm learning a lot from everyone else's experiences.

I'm a teacher, so I'm not in school. I should have clarified.
I only thought that because that's early to start? In ny, we're starting sept. 2. I work in a school too, speech therapist

Teachers go back July 29th and the children start August 5th. It is very early, but we got out before Memorial Day.

I've been exhausted and my boobs are swollen, painful. A little acne but that might be from stopping the retin-a. I was peeing like crazy but that's slowed down. No nausea yet, thank god. Gas in the evenings... Oh and my face looks puffy.

Well hello Bloat, nice to meet you! I look more pregnant than the woman at my work who is 16 weeks...

Exhaustion and constipation are still around, as well as not sleeping properly. I also feel thirsty all the time, but cannot drink much water because of the bloat.

So far I think I'm one of the lucky ones. For weeks 5 and 6 I had some fatigue that came and went, and in Week 6 some slight food aversions and nausea started but not that bad at all. Throughout I've had some serious bloating but not too uncomfortable, and my boobs are growing daily and are a bit sore when touched but also not too badly. So far this week (Week 7) my energy levels have been good and no nausea! I agree that eating at regular intervals (every 2 to 3 hours) really helps.

Of course, before today I thought I was farther along based on my last period (original due date was 2/17/15) but I went for a full U/S today to confirm dating since I was measuring smaller on the bedside U/S at my first midwife appointment last week. Turns out the bedside U/S was right -- I'm 7 weeks today instead of going on 9 weeks tomorrow! So, there's still time for symptoms to come in full force. :P

The fatigue is unbearable! I can't take naps either

I am noticing the irritability creeping in too which stinks but at least I'm aware of it haha. I'm also peeing like crazy and food aversions/cravings alternate and are random. Oh, I also screamed at the top of my lungs at 4:26 AM according to DH.

mudbug84 · July 2014

I've actually been wandering around the house holding my boobs up to alleviate the pain. Bloating, cramping, fatigue... all tolerable. My biggest qualm is with food.

I. love. food.

Suddenly everything I eat tastes like garbage and simultaneously induces nausea AND leaves me starving seconds after eating. I'm guessing a few more days of this and I'll figure it out. There has to be something that goes down easy!

@coozeinmypurse : Janitor gif? Fucks yeah. Bongo Monday is the best.

TMI WARNING:

I had the most painful, sweaty, crampy, horrifying case of diarrhea I have ever had in my life this morning. Like, I was stripping off my clothes while on the toilet because I had giant beads of sweat covering my body. I screamed at the dog to leave me alone because he kept coming up to my face all concerned and I never scream at my dog. It was fucking violent this morning, guys.

Other than that LOVELY new symptom, it's all the same. Nausea all day, erry day; fatigue; peeing all the time.

I got a dose of the lightning crotch this weekend. I did quite a funny dance step trying to get that to stop. If you don't know what that is, it's pretty much just as the name implies: a stabbing pain feeling in your cervical area.

Also, I sneezed earlier and holy RLP that came with it.

lhill88 · July 2014

Still no really symptoms except peeing a lot. I am starting to feel more tired...but no daytime naps yet.

2Swanns · July 2014

My boobs are killing me and they are getting enormous. Also, every time I think of chicken salad, I want to vomit. And I can't stop thinking about it. I almost tossed my cookies reading the Food Confessional post...

@ToasterCat‌ Yes, uterusy! Just enough to feel aware of it and be bothered. And the burps. So much burping. My iPad really doesn't want me to type uterusy.

PuppyLove84 · July 2014

@holly628 I had really bad cramping up until a few days ago, mainly at night. It would wake me up and I'd run into the bathroom sure that AF had arrived. The cramps have subsided mostly now, though I was still a little crampy this morning.

@wendyld I had that last night!! Had no idea there was a name for it, lol. It felt like someone stabbed me in the vag, but luckily only lasted a second or I would have panicked. I figured it was random nerve pain.

My main symptom is the bloating/burping, which is kind of ridiculously bad. I haven't gained any weight yet but my pants are not fitting. Does this bloating go away at some point?? Do I need to buy maternity pants at 5 weeks?

Also I am STILL sick, but pretty sure it's an actual cold and not just lots of mucus. Last night I was coughing so hard I threw up, which was unpleasant. I really hope my immune system comes back to work at some point soon because I can't take much more coughing/sneezing/headache/throatache/crappiness.

wendyld · July 2014

@PuppyLove84‌ you have my sympathy. I just had a summer cold too and it sucked hardcore. I would have done anything for some mucinex.

kls12301 · July 2014

I've had just the littlest bit of nausea off and on, nipple soreness, fatigue, irritability, and what I think is RLP when I stretch or move too fast.

kschref · July 2014

Adding a second one today. I am a sweaty mess. I always sweat a bit when I exercise, but today I was on my elliptical with the lights out and a fan on and I was sweating *buckets*. I pounded water during the workout so didn't get dehydrated, but dayum. I don't remember being like this during my last pregnancy.

mallorym5 · July 2014

I'm so sleepy and the nausea comes in waves throughout the day! and I've have the worst restless leg of my life!!

arnottnicola · July 2014

Sore boobs oh man are they sore... Bloating as well and bad constipation and gas. I have also be cramping( dull achy) like I'm going to start my period but nothing happening?? Anyone else have that? It seems to be relieved with passing gas or having a BM... But geez!!
Nausea is here and there but when it comes I need to eat something right away it's awful, I've learned to pack a snack bag:)

WinningColors · July 2014

Not much right now, just some bloat and sore, heavy boobs. I had some vivid dreams last week which is odd for me, but that only lasted a few nights.
