CoozieInMyPurse · September 2014

Back to feeling nauseous again, which I'm taking as a great thing because I had a total freak out this morning that something was wrong and that I didn't feel as pregnant as I did earlier in the week. I have no reason to actually be worried (no cramping, bleeding, etc), but it was maddening.

Lark425 · September 2014

Nauseous, pissed off, crampy, and exhausted. I'm getting really tired of having to get up in the night to pee. I should not be at work today because I could shank someone. Not a good day.

I'm feeling some (possible?) round ligament pain today - it's the first time I've felt it so it's a total guess as to what it actually is. I'm considering that a good thing since I don't have another appt for 2 weeks and haven't had many other symptoms going on. Also, I'm finally starting to get some of my energy back. =D>

TweedleDee3 · September 2014

I seem to have two settings lately: sleep poorly and deal with minimal nausea/ms the next day or I sleep very well and wake up with raging ms and nausea all day. Hoping this tapers off real soon...

lewispm · September 2014

I'm no longer feeling nausea, which is awesome, but I'm still having strange food aversions. My weirdest one is to anything cooked at home. Its so strange! I'd love to go out to eat and have a nice steak or even a plate of spaghetti, but if MH or I cook it at home, it grosses me out. Even if I don't see it being cooked. Its irrational and weird and getting quite expensive to eat out all the time, but I just cant stomach home cooked meals right now! Please tell me someone out there is having something similar. I'll feel less weird.

I think MH thinks its all mental or made up or something and is just my way of getting to eat out all the time. Let's be real though. With a 2 year old, I'd much rather eat at home! Carry out is my best friend these days.

kmvisioli · September 2014

Wishing I had some symptoms! My first tri was easy, just fatigue, frequent urination, and breast tenderness, and now I'm feeling pretty much totally normal. I know I have no reason to worry, but I can't help wishing for some sure signs everything is still going okay.

mariahd43 · September 2014

I just threw up in the bathroom at work... YUCK!!! Of all the places

Hope everyone is having a good day so far!

knottie93263eb66eeacb31 · September 2014

I am just so friggin tired I can't function. Even after 8+ hours of sleep I need to nap mid day (thank GOD I work from home).

Still gagging all the time and hate being around food. Zofran helps but I'm really trying not to take it every day.

Now my hubs is sick so he will be useless for the weekend so we will probably be living in filth with stacks of take out boxes near the door for the next several days.

This. Lucky you to work from home! I'm useless at work after 1pm no matter how pressing my workload is. If they just had a nap room Id be a much more productive.

I, too, am having an easier time eating out. I drive by a food place and I'm like, "Yes! That's what I want!" At home, I'm like, "Food is the devil." I feel bad for the SO because he's been trying so hard to pick up my slack and has been cooking a lot. The only thing I've been really able to stomach at home is grilled cheese.

My nausea is still coming in waves. I feel pretty good one minute, tired and cranky the next. Blah.

dani727 · September 2014

Energy is coming back, but am getting these weird pinchy feelings as I walk around. I've got tons of stairs at work and I'm up and down all day. Hope that's not causing the pinchy feelings. My emotions have also calmed down a bit and I'm not so volatile (DH is prob thrilled about this..).

cbergh87 · September 2014

I have really really bad lower back pain in the evenings moving positions on the couch or in bed at night is really painful! And often when I cough I hurt my back lol I feel old!! I only remember back pain in third trimester (I'm 15weeks 1 day) anyone else struggling with back pain already??

I hate barfing in the bathroom at work. I work with about sixty guys so you can imagine what THAT looks like.

I have a massive headache but the tylenol didn't help. Wah wah wah!

Oh mannnn!!! Yuck! You poor thing. Hopefully you feel better soon!

Lark425 · September 2014

I just left early from my hostile work environment of a job. I was writing this earlier but had to stop, IT shut me down. I guess they thought I was doing something wrong. Everything is irritating me today. I don't really care that IT blocked the Bump website. I don't even really care that my coworker is a b*tch and finds loopholes in her day to give me all her work (so that she can shop craigslist all day and monitor her adult daughters bank accounts spending activities) and then inserts her unwanted opinion of how I should do her work and is just so nosey and toxic besides. What I do care about is that I am cramping and I'm worried about my baby. This day sucks and I'm ready for it to be over.

jlguccione · September 2014

I am cramping at 11 weeks. I know cramping can be normal, but I'm still scared.

caribeth80 · September 2014

Insomnia, exhausted, nauseated in the evenings, dehydrated......that about sums me up.

colleen4019 · September 2014

I don't know if it's exactly a 'symptom' but I had the worst nightmares last night that I've ever had. I woke up sobbing and had to wake up my husband and turn on lights to convince myself it wasn't real.

@lewispm I have the same problem!! Im so glad I am not the only one!!! I can eat something things at home, a small selection and only a small amout but when we go out (like tonight) I stuff myself like a lunatic. its so weird!!!

lisap0924 · September 2014

im feeling ok today. some gagging this morning but overall I had a good day!

Joon+ · September 2014

@lewispm‌ you are not alone... While I can choke down tiny portions at home, take-out or even fast food go down much easier. I have a freezer full of home-cooked meals, and all I want for dinner tonight is Wendy's. WTF?
Having said that, I know it's a sensitive topic and some ppl don't agree with the concern, but I am *still* losing weight... I know this is normal for first tri and I'm barely entering second tri (14 weeks on Monday,) but I'm a small person and at this point have lost close to 10% of my body weight. My doc doesn't seem worried, but I think she thinks I'm exaggerating at how little I'm actually eating and how much I've actually lost. I lost most of the weight in the first 8 weeks, before I was even being followed and I told her that, but she just says to try to eat more and that's pretty much it. I'm just worried all of a sudden it's gonna be like, "holy crap, you're 20 weeks and still down this many pounds!" as though it's out of nowhere when it's clearly not. Unless there is a *drastic* change in my appetite and food aversions soon, I don't see how this can not be detrimental to the baby. Anyway, sorry for the long rant, just sick of fighting my body to do what's healthy. I usually eat like a linebacker. TIA for any thoughts/advice.

Skrittens · September 2014

My feet and ankles are sooooo swollen. I feel like my feet might pop open.

marissalucia · September 2014

I still have the nausea and sore boobs, but man this fatigue will NOT let up even a bit. I'm so tired all the time. Every time I sit down for "a minute" to relax, I have to set an alarm or I'll end up sleeping for hours accidentally.
Other than that I can't complain too much. I still have the deep pain on my right "ovary area". My OB said it doesn't look like there's a cyst or anything, and it's not crazy painful, more just annoying.
Oh can't forget the mood swings! Especially towards my SO, I feel terrible but lately everything he does irritates me, and I don't know why.
This causes arguments daily. He thinks it's personal, when it's not. I think he's tired of pregnancy being an "excuse".

AshleyS512 · September 2014

14w5d today. I've been feeling so tired. The moment I lay down I literally feel amazing and don't want to move again. Then morning comes. I'm also super hungry all the time. Emotions are starting to be less dramatic ... Although I think I cried two times last weekend so we'll see how the rest of this week pans out.

bebe1995 · September 2014

I haven't had morning sickens my whole pregnancy, and then today I threw up three times to the point of dry heaving. I feel like I have fever chills but am unable to tell. Is it normal.? Or should I go to the er (since it's sat now and drs office is closed. )

071115 · September 2014

So I was grocery shopping and I almost fainted, I have never felt like that before. I stopped shopping and paid and left didn't get what I all needed I got home and lied down! I felt so weak! My son brought all the food in and put it away... Oh I love him

malijo1025 · September 2014

My hip joints hurt so bad. My husband laughed when I got out of bed this morning because I looked so funny. It felt like my joints were frozen. Also, my right wrist is the same way. Not sure why, but it is so frustrating.

One of my best friends was like this as well. She was extremely sick for upwards of 15 weeks and lost 12-15 pounds in the first trimester. She started out at like 5'6'' 130 pounds, so not big at all! She looked almost skeletal and we were all really worried about her. However, her doctor always remained calm and encouraged her to eat what she could and never acted alarmed or concerned and eventually, the sickness subsided and she put the weight back on and delivered a perfectly healthy 8 lb 5 oz baby boy about a week after her due date. So try not to worry. If your doctor is concerned, he/she will let you know. Just remember to take your vitamins and eat what you feel you can.

Enigma87 · September 2014

I am still feeling nausea all day, getting light-headed every time I bend over or crouch down, some days I am very weepy, and I am still exhausted all the time.

Yes!!! I am a teacher and after two to three tchg periods I have to sit back on a padded chair. I'm 14wks. I have a history of degenerative discs in my spine so I'm thinking that's what's doing it. Totally sucks though. Sorry I can't give much insight to what I'm doing to make it better. Just sitting back and resting my back is all I can do.

augustpetals · September 2014

**Double posting on this board as well** Has anyone heard of Meralgia Paraesthetica? It's a nerve (neurological) condition that causes an area of skin over the upper outer thigh to become painful, numb or tingly.

The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh is found in the upper leg. It provides sensation to an area of skin on the upper outer thigh. If this nerve is trapped or compressed, burning pain, numbness or tingling might be felt in the area of skin supplied by the nerve. These symptoms constitute meralgia paraesthetica.

Risk factors include obesity, pregnancy and ascites (a tense swelling of the tummy (abdomen) due to fluid).

I'm currently 13 weeks and 5 days and this is exactly the symptoms I have and will be bringing it to my doctors attention to see what he says. Thought I'd post it here in case anyone has ever had it as well or feeling similar symptoms. I find sleeping on my back causes it, and when I'm on my side I get relief.

chapys13 · September 2014

I just started having morning sickness and fatigue in the evenings. Lately, I can't stand my job or my co-worker. I ask myself every morning is it even worth getting up for? I feel like I being taken advantage of or I could just be in a crabby mood. I wish I had a cold glass of orange juice right now!

stine28 · September 2014

Ok, guys. I have always had little boobs. Like they're nowhere near each other, they don't touch ever, even in my fanciest bra. Except now they're growing. And the space between them is shrinking. It's down to a half-inch or so. And I'm concerned that they're just gonna freaking meet in the middle. What if the part in the middle lifts up and I have to spend the rest of my life with a mono-boob?!?!!!

Now I recognize that this fear is irrational, but I still find myself touching between them a couple times a day just to check. I could not have predicted all the different ways that pregnancy would make me feel crazy.

My feet and legs are disgustingly swollen. I thought this didn't happen until later on.
