Tell me all about it

ur_mom222 · November 2014

what are your symptoms? How are you feeling? I feel like since we're all in the second tri this thread isn't brought up as often because most of us are out of the yucky stage, but I have weirder symptoms now.

I'm hearing a "whoosh" sound in my ear every night and no matter how cool my bath or shower is, I get heat rash every time I bathe!

Let's hear about it mama's

Renate85 · November 2014

Sheesh! That ear thing would drive me nuts! Good luck with it, hope it goes away soon!

I'm still battling with the 2 big issues from the 1st Trimester at 17 weeks and 5 days. Still exhausted and tossing my cookies.

New weirdness is that my bump seems to change during the day. Sometimes it feels rock hard and other times is goes so soft it almost feels like it's not there anymore. Freaks me the hell out!! I still panic that the baby will just vanish (lost my first at 11 weeks, didn't even know anything was wrong until the ultrasound, so I'm a little paranoid)

Other than that it's just the pregnancy dreams. Getting weirder every night! Dreaming that I gave birth to kittens was the worst!

dmama0177 · November 2014

Not sure if this is considered a symptom or not, but super power pregnancy nose for sure. I was just awaken from a dead sleep because my dog had pooped in the house, downstairs, and my nose woke me up from the smell, yup. And let's just say I begged my husband to wake up and clean it for me because I just couldn't handle the smell. He wouldn't do it, I was gagging so bad I almost threw up. And now can't get back to sleep. Buh!

amandamarie2 · November 2014

Lightheadedness and other weird blood pressure issues have started to occur, so I've been really careful about getting up too fast and taking cooler showers. Frequent headaches and round ligament pain are also in full force. It can be not great but I'd take it over MS any day!

bowman958 · November 2014

I have to pee ridiculously often, and I have grown a hollow leg and eat all the food. I am also a horrible irritable bitch after about 7pm. I do have more energy thankfully. More energy to be a horrible irritable bitch.

kerimontanye · November 2014

I've started having allergies, and never did before. I wake myself up sneezing and I almost want to rip my eyeballs out cause they itch so bad. And I too, after about 5-6pm turn into the megabitch.

jamiesc58 · November 2014

Now that the morning sickness is almost totally gone I feel like I am eating everything in sight all day long. I wake up at night to my stomach growling...wth??? Also, like doribeth, I pee all the time. Working in customer service isn't ideal at this time since I can't get up and go whenever I want when there are customers. I find myself doing the "potty dance" secretly lol.

NoraMia · November 2014

I've been crampy and RLP killing me. Acid reflux all the time and headaches are daily... But emotionally, very happy!

Ginja85 · November 2014

@Lilzeezee‌ some types of vitamins can change the color of your urine, try switching to a different prenatal if you're already drinking enough water to float away. If your pee doesn't smell strong its most likely vitamins or something new in your diet.

smilesallaround · November 2014

@keeganbeck I had the whooshing in my ear pre-pregnancy. It may be fluid built up behind the ear drum. It happened to me pre-pregnancy. IF that is what it is, no worries, because for most people it goes away on its own. For me it did not, but the fix is painless and only takes 5 min.

As for my current symptoms, I have heat rash on my legs frequently and at night my whole body itches. I always end up showering earlier and earlier in the day because I can't handle it.

theinvadermothership · November 2014

17w5 - Starting to feel better with the nausea and the extreme fatigue... only to trade it in for round ligament pain, sciatica, headaches, and extreme hunger in the mornings (the reason i am even up since 6:30am..). Better than being nauseous and exhausted, but the pain is pretty intense.

Oh I'm also breaking out like I'm 15 again and so dried out that i feel like my skin feels like an alligator. I look like i have scales...

I swear I'm putting in a good effort drinking enough water, but my pee is ALWAYS medium-to-dark yellow. It's making me super paranoid that I'm screwing up this baby/pregnancy. I know, I know, just drink more water... but I am (and juice, and seltzer) and somehow I'm just still dehydrated.

My next appointment with the doppler is Wednesday afternoon. Nothing like a little paranoia to make the days drag.

Other than that, glowing skin, more energy, and hungry all the time. Can't really complain!

Bet that yellow pee is from your prenatal. I have super, glow in the dark yellow pee too!!

miracle4x · November 2014

I'm 18 weeks and feel so much better. No nausea, and I have way more energy. Most of the time I'm nicer now, too! I don't eat much anymore either. From about 4-12 weeks, I ate everything in sight, and having now gained 15-20 pounds, it's like my body only has to feed off of the fat I've produced on my body, not food. Hopefully I can start exercising again, but it's hard after sitting/lying down for almost 14 weeks straight! I should mention daily heartburn, although it's normal for my pregnancies, but Zantac is a lifesaver.

littlewest1 · November 2014

I have felt great this whole pregnancy but the past week or so I have started to have a little nausea. I think it started when I flew out of town for a few days last week. The plane, time difference and different foods messed me up and I haven't recovered yet.

Aside from that I mentioned in the check-in thread yesterday that I have gained too much weight so that has been getting me down. I am getting back on track with my diet and exercise plan and I hope that I start to feel better soon.

mombod · November 2014

18 weeks today and feel really good. Much more energy than the first trimester. Only thing is the stretching feeling and having a hard time getting into a comfortable position to sleep. Also I keep having a recurring nightmare of leaking all over my bridesmaids dress I need to wear for my SILs wedding a few weeks after the baby is due.

Rowsdower85 · November 2014

Welp, I'm officially having a panic attack. :-S I've had some cramping this past week (I just chalked it up to RLP), and now I'm bleeding. TMI - it's dark, old blood, but I have no clue what it means. In my previous loss it started off bright red. I know spotting is normal, but it's hard convincing my pgal brain of that.

Duffgurl · November 2014

I am still so tired. I pee SO frequently. Also just sore and stupid sciatica.

taahira · November 2014

It seems like the glow of the 2nd tri as missed me. I still have major MS, I think my body is immuned to all the food tricks for controlling it. Now nothing is helping. When I do eat it gives me terrible heartburn, and my daily headaches are as frequent as my trips to the bathroom. On the up side I can fill our little boy move everyday, which melts my heart.

mrsgunsta · November 2014

I would just like to say that my husband peed while I was doing my hair this morning (and we have a separate toilet room in the bathroom- I guess a "water closet") and the smell of his pee had me gagging til I cried. Sigh.

DixieNormous330 · November 2014

I have a really bad and HUGE eczema flare up on my neck/shoulder. I feel like a leper.

Still battling nausea but it's not as bad as it was before. I just want to fully enjoy eating again.

Can't get comfortable in bed. I'm hoping my snoogle is still in storage. We will be getting it this weekend.

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and I look like I'm 6 months. I'm HUGE. and I've only gained 5 lbs so I know it's not pudge.

PinkDahLia44 · November 2014

@Rowsdower85‌ , so sorry to read this! I hope it's nothing!

This pregnancy is so different for me than my last; I think I'm carrying much lower...so the symptoms that go with that are constant peeing (probably 8 times in a 12 hr shift), sciatic pain that just started the other day about an hour after I said "I don't have any sciatic pain yet," (that'll teach me) and baby kicks all day erryday (by far my favorite). In comparison, last time I only had very bad heart burn, which I don't have at all right now (although now that I said it...)

Oh! And I can't even shower without getting winded and needing a break afterwards.

Murran131 · November 2014

Renate85 My tummy is doing the same disappearing act! Sometimes I can feel it and it's like, wow, that's definitely getting bigger. Sometimes I can't really tell it's there! Where does it go? How does it do that?!

Murran131 · November 2014

I'm 17w4d and thank goodness the nausea is mostly gone. It sneaks up on me every once in a while, especially when I haven't eaten recently. My energy is back too, although I can still nap at the drop of a hat; I just don't HAVE to. Round ligament pain is really getting me now - sometimes when I stand up, the muscles or ligaments or whatever on the right side cramp up so hard I can't stand up straight for a few seconds and have to ease myself upright. Acne is still plaguing me. And my hair is not particularly luscious as promised. To make it all worth it though, I'm pretty darn sure I felt two solid kicks from this little one last night. There's been gurgles and swooshing feelings, but that's the first real taps I've felt.

EmmaSF · November 2014

My bump is HUGE.... I look AT LEAST a month further along than I am. Also, sinuses are crazy and I feel like I am pulling a muscle around my ute every time I sneeze. My sneezes are always followed by an equally loud "ouch"!

justyouraveragemama · November 2014

I'm 17 weeks, still have ms going strong , terrible acne, and I'm more tired than I was during the first tri. But on the bright side I can feel baby moving a couple times a day, some aversions are going away, and no heart burn!

(I have acid reflux while not pregnant so I was expecting heart burn to be a big problem)

alexeleni · November 2014

17 weeks, only little bits of maybe-movement yet. SO TIRED AND HUNGRY. And heart burn out the wazoo.
I really wish Dot would kick me!

skinamarinkadinkado2 · November 2014

Tired, tired, tired. My back aches all the time along with my hips. Round ligament pains and muscle cramps. Stuffy nose and headaches every day. Appetite came back with some ravage revenge but nothing is quite what I want which makes eating a little unsatisfying OH! and my boobs still hurt like none other and I have a giant map on my chest (: On the upside I feel baby move at least twice a day. and my sex drive is at a very reasonable level.

jackieanddan1989 · November 2014

Feel much better than first tri. I have a lot of energy now...went from sleeping 12 hours some nights, to not being able to sleep at all. I'm glad I'm not the only one with the whooshing in the ears, it did not occur to me that this could be a pregnancy symptom, but I looked it up and apparently it is! Not nauseous anymore but not much of an appetite, not any more hungry than I was pre-pregnancy. I haven't gained any weight in a couple weeks despite my bump growing, and I'm worried about the baby getting enough nutrients, and water. I am constantly extremely thirsty no matter how much I drink and am not peeing as much as I know I should (sorry for the TMI) On the up side, baby is moving around a lot now and I can feel where they are by putting my hand on my belly, which is really cool

knlouis · November 2014

My boobs don't hurt THAT much any more, my M/S is going away but still need a pill for dinner , hearburn OMG it wakes me up in the middle of the night...my throat is on fire! I have ice cream and a spoon in my frezer just for me! I am always hungry too...I also suffer from Hollow leg syndrome lol.

I'm Still very tired but find that I have moments of energy...enough to get annoyed with the kids and my DH about thier growing mess and tell them how to clean it up and give the cat it's weekly bath....I can't with stinky animals.

My RLP...KILLING ME! Crippling at times...I also have head aches that never semt o go away. Now my vision went from bad to REALLY bad and I see spots floating areound and get light headed. I don't feel like my belly is growing but then I try on clothes and its like...too tight..too tight...too tight...ugh

And my super nose...PLEASE don't let the kitty litter go! it MUST be sccoped in the morning and at night! that thing SMELLS ugh!

knlouis · November 2014

double posted sorry!

Blergbot · November 2014

My ms has gotten WORSE. I went from just feeling mild nausea every day in the first tri to throwing up nearly every day in my second. Yesterday I held it off by nearly ODing on ginger. I lost 10 pounds in the first tri, and things haven't been much better. I think my stomach shrunk by more than half. If anything I can eat less now than before, since my organs are getting smooshed.

I'm pretty sure it's just the whole blood volume thing but it's super annoying. thanks for the advice! At my a/s Monday I'll ask just to be sure. Sounds like most of us have the same symptoms and baby kicks! Yay that's the best symptom. As far as being a megabitch goes, I've been super sweet lately. But it'll pass, I was huge megabitch the first tri and I apparently can not take a joke lately. Thanks hormones.

pepperjack76 · November 2014

My boobs are still super sore! I too am waiting for that second tri burst of energy. The RLP is here but is not to bad. I get super winded walking up the stairs. The only good part is I am starting to feel her about once a day now.

yarnymommy · November 2014

I'm still struggling with pregnant rhinitis. It mostly affects me at about 3:00 AM every morning when I wake up due to not being able to breathe. Then a long round of nose blowing is followed by the inability to go back to sleep until at least 4, maybe 4:30

I've traded nausea for headaches, but at least I can drink extra water and take Tylenol if that gets really bad. Oh, and my lower back/side, right where my butt and back meet, has had a knot that is so painful I find it difficult to walk at times. DH sometimes digs into it to try and release it. I'm thinking I may go for a massage in the next few days if it doesn't get better...

That's sciatica and it SUCKSSSS so bad. I get it a couple times a week, mostly at night and it seriously hurts so bad I don't even wanna move. I hope prenatal massages help you!

theinvadermothership · November 2014

Why is it every time i post my MS is getting better, i am horribly nauseous and puking then?

tigerlily25 · November 2014

I feel better than I have felt in awhile! Aothough I still have to pee constantly, headaches, waking up in the middle of the night starving, round ligament pain, sneezing, and itchy tummy. My tummy is also finally starting to make an appearance

Blergbot · November 2014

Cheese? Yes, please! Also I'm making pasta tonight. I can usually scarf down more of that than anything else.

I just got a Snoogle Mini and it really helps my sciatica ( but yes, fuck that shit).

KonaiNeto said:

Headaches. Fuck headaches. Especially when raising a 4 year old and a 2 year old.

Also, fuck sciatica.

Fuck Braxton Hicks, too.

I am always exhausted, but I'm not falling asleep until about 6:30-7:00 a.m. This has been going on for three days. One day every couple of months is normal, but three days in a row is not. And then the nightmares. Yeesh. And I no longer know if I'm cranky from hormones, or exhaustion.

No nausea, except when I go more than four hours without eating (yay), and now I'm ravenous, but can't eat much all at once. This also means that I'm dealing with acid reflux pretty much constantly.

Still having absurd breakout of acne. *sigh*

Oh, stuffy nose, how I loathe you.

Yay, baby movements! You make up for everything.

@Renate85: The times where your uterus goes rock hard, but is soft later, is most likely Braxton Hicks contractions.

@Blergbot: If you can keep them down, try eating lots of cheese, yogurt, and grains. They can help you gain some weight.

kbehelr · November 2014

I have been dizzy for the last month. Low blood pressure and a heart rate in the 30s seems to be the culprit. I also don't know how to sleep which is frustrating when I am so very tired.
