Saturday symptoms/ lack of symptoms thread

thay33 · November 2014

I decided to start one

I've had the past few bad mornings
Yesterday I threw up from taking out my retainer (triggered my gag reflex)

And today I fainted from being constipated. I called my doctor by the way she said it was normal...

:-w

How is everyone else doing!?

mommacandi · November 2014

Good lord...fainting from constipation sounds anything but normal. I hope you get some relief!

I'm continuously nauseous, but got Psi Bands and used them yesterday late afternoon, when the nausea is the worst, and they seemed to work for me. I was able to eat a full meal, which is a miracle these days!

littlechemist · November 2014

Blessedly still nausea/MS-free, but this pregnancy is doing wonders for my digestive system. I just want to poo on a normal schedule like I used to! /whine

Other than that, though, I really truly can't complain. I really feel for you ladies who have the bad MS - FX it gets better for you soon!

ohiodoxiemama08 · November 2014

So far this morning I am feeling good which is a miracle! Yesterday was the sickiest I have felt the entire pregnancy. Part of me wonders if I wasn't actually sick though--I was freezing cold and my whole body hurt. But I went to bed super early and feel soooo much better now.

I'm sure the as the day goes on it will catch up to me enjoying the small victories

Clbehenna · November 2014

Insomnia...and, therefor, exhaustion. Not sure how I'll make it through the chaos of my sons 2nd birthday party today!

cpeluso · November 2014

More nauseous today than I have been, but no complaints because I am grateful I haven't had the MS that a lot of people have. I went to bed around 8:45 and the last time I got up to pee was about 10:30. So around 5:30 when I rolled onto my stomach I actually yelped my bladder hurt so bad. That was new.

toodaloo · November 2014

I am over two things...The excessive saliva which causes my nausea and NOTHING TASTES GOOD ANYMORE!! I eat and then realize that it all tasted the same!

MaglioMomma · November 2014

Not much of any symptoms going on right now, thankfully! So tired and a bit more emotional this morning, but that's due to lack of sleep from Dd1. Today is a large get together with friends. Hoping no one catches on to my lack if drinks!

kimmarie1105 · November 2014

Round ligament pain and out of breath. I don't remember feeling these until well into 2nd tri last time. I'm also way more exhausted this time but I'm guessing that's due to the 18 month old.

marshmallowmadness · November 2014

Uhhhh

erbear84 · November 2014

I also had a crazy sex dream last night plus one where I was married to Justin Timberlake and this was his baby. Yup.

I had whipped cream last night and I'm lactose intolerant and forgot to take a Lactaid so I've been cramping since about 3:30. I was really worried at first but, yep, definitely gas.

Otherwise, the usual exhaustion, sore boobs, and nausea. Psi bands are actually stopping me from puking, I think. My sciatica is out of control and I can't wait until my first OB appointment on Monday for (hopefully) some relief!

Amandapandacakesshostra · November 2014

I have not had one normal bowel movement since starting my prenatal's. I think its due to the iron in them. It's horrible. I feel constipated all the time and I do know if my stomach is hard due to my uterus expanding or the constipation lol

Also, nausea, exhaustion (have fallen asleep at my desk), soreness all over like I actually went to the gym, irritability

@thay33‌ and @Amandapandacakesshostra‌, have you tried taking a daily probiotic pill with your vitamin? I can't say enough about this -- it works wonders on keeping things moving. And I am one that also had a fainting spell early on. It felt like anything but normal!!

No I haven't even heard of that! It really works good?? My doctor said to take mirlax which I will never ever do... I had to take that before I was pregnant (due to stomach issues) and I HATED going to the bathroom because of the fact that it cleans you out completely it was very painful.

Did your doctor suggest that pill to you?

elizabethyay · November 2014

Feeling fairly good this morning but this is how I felt yesterday morning. Oh wow, the clouds have parted! I have less nausea and I can have a GREAT day! Followed by puking seven times between 7 pm and 10 pm. Apparently I can't eat rice crackers? That was a cure for nausea from someone at church. Nope, definitely didn't work for me. Hoping for a good day. Yes to nausea, excess saliva, sore back, round ligament pain, and general flu like feelings after 5 pm.

kimmarie1105 · November 2014

@elizabethyay‌ I get night sickness too. After a full day of work it sucks that I'm feeling awful when I finally get some quality time with DS before bed.

I've also noticed that days when I eat Kashi shredded wheat, I go. If I don't eat it, I don't go. Go fiber! (Not a Kashi rep I swear).

For symptoms, I always feel the best on Saturday mornings after a looooong night of sleep. Nausea doesn't kick in until the evening, so I'm treasuring the time right now!!

holliberry28 · November 2014

I couldn't be happier that it's Saturday. The week was soooo long and exhausting, and I'm ready for this fatigue to go away, so I can function like a normal person.

I have my 2nd appointment on November 21, I'll be 9w3d hopefully, because despite being told it wasn't a concern, still worried that I measured 4 days behind on my 7week ultrasound (6w2d). Usually I can distract myself from worrying that the baby will stop growing.

I wish it was June already.

mlbourret11 · November 2014

I'm dealing with morning sickness 24/7 can't handle it. I cried myself in the bathroom for 20 mins!!!

blastocarrier30 · November 2014

Shortness of breath at odd times. When I walk the dog? No. When I lay down to go to bed? Yes.

Also, cravings. DH heroically went to get Chinese at 9:30 last night.

TMJP · November 2014

I just started working full time in November and frankly I feel wiped out. I'm starting to get crazy headaches and have a stomach ache that I can't seem to shake. By dinner nothing sounds good except a baked potato. I've been craving bacon, which is strange since I'm normally a turkey bacon kinda gal.

erbear84 · November 2014

I've really gotten into cravings, too. I bought a family sized box of Honey Comb cereal yesterday and it's half gone.

holliberry28 · November 2014

I want honey comb now!

elbowpasta · November 2014

So I think I might be psyching myself out... I've been sick sick sick the past 2.5 weeks, but this morning (7w0d) I am golden. I feel great. I'm starving. I don't even feel nauseous...

Why don't I feel sick? What alternate universe did I wake up in this morning?

brich415 · November 2014

Having a lot of lower back pain today and a cold on top of that! I don't remember having this much back pain with my other pregnancies! Trying to take it easy

(

tiffbot1985 · November 2014

Fainting from constipation sounds awful!!

So, yesterday I woke up and....wanted to eat breakfast! And then was hungry for lunch! And supper! And I only gagged once in the morning before eating. I was still super tired and my boobs were sore taking my bra off at the end of the night, but those are both things much easier to deal with.

I hope I'm starting to reach the breakthrough point!

ashleighrieckhoff · November 2014

Last week I couldn't keep my eyes open at any time of the day! This week I have been battling to sleep and seriously out of breath! I didn't know you get so out of breath so early?? Walked about 2km this morning and had to stop for a breather a few times!

sewro · November 2014

Driving from Indy to Chicago. I've only thrown up twice so far, and managed to get to a rest stop each time so it wasn't in the car. I'll call that a success.

thay33 · November 2014

I actually have a question for you ladies.

I've always been told that cramping is normal unless it's accompanied by heavy bleeding.

My question is, is there any cramping I should be concerned about if it's not accompanied by bleeding?

Sometimes I'll have cramps here or there & I'll try to tell myself it's just my baby growing, but in the back of my mind I do always wonder.

Can anyone here help my curiosity out?

mathistm · November 2014

The first time in a week that I have felt like eating (knock on wood!). My older sister is pregnant at the same time-I'm 8 weeks today she is 12 as of Wednesday. She has always been the puker in our family and I have had a stomach of steel but with pregnancy we have been complete opposite! Hoping this feeling (or lack of) lasts!

neongreen · November 2014

I SLEPT! And I POOPED!

It might be the best Saturday ever.

KJKNAJ · November 2014

Feeling the same this morning, which is crazy nauseaus. DH is looking for me to catch up on all sorts of house stuff and it's the last thing I want to do.

a5swanson · November 2014

Insomnia and exhaustion club. I feel like utter ass. My body is turning into a soft blob and I have no motivation to move it. That, and totally dry patchy skin on my face that I've been lubing up with coconut oil. My husband must think I'm super hot. Haha

I saw my Dad for the first time in a month or so yesterday and he was just like, "I've never seen you like this before!" I don't know if he was referring to my low energy or just generally looking tired and awful.

FitMamaInProgress · November 2014

I had an awful few days with fatigue, constant yawning, zero hunger and nausea all Day and then I wake up today and feel fine. Which is NOT comforting because I'm so scared of a lost this time again

I don't have an answer, but I wanted to say you're not alone! Every time I feel anything crampy I get this terrible sinking feeling.... Is this going to be the day?

kmleon83 · November 2014

It took all my strength not to vomit all over my dentist during my 6 month cleaning this morning. On a good note, I'm slowly beginning to enjoy food again!

jessclee · November 2014

TMI. Can someone please reassure me that a lot of discharge is normal. It's clear, has a little bit of an odour. It comes in gushes, I don't want to think it's amniotic fluid, but this is my first pregnancy and I'm getting a little worried!!

I don't know about specific bad signs but I have had some on-and-off light cramping that my doctor and I both attribute to things stretching out down there. Sometimes I'll cramp if I overdo activity but as long as I rest and hydrate, it disappears quickly.

Mabillon · November 2014

Checking in to complain about my all-day nausea. It's worst when I'm hungry but I have zero appetite and the thought of eating makes me feel sicker. I basically have to gag down some sort of carb to make it until dinner time (it's usually less terrible by then so I can eat a more normal dinner). Just three weeks ago, I was praying for symptoms so I'm reminding myself of that daily!

Mild cramping is definitely normal. I have mild cramping almost daily. Severe cramps, I'd follow my instincts on.

I have a cleaner in today (he's on break now.) I threw up 3 times from the time he arrived (9AM) to the time he left (noon.)

Also, AWish here. My perpetual kitten (who I fell in love with when she was two weeks, who I washed in the sink for 6 months until she learned to wash herself) died this morning at 13 years old. Poor little love bug. We did get a few pictures of her and DS snuggling last year.

Totally normal- have you read The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy? She talks about cramping.

jessila9 · November 2014

I thought I'd figured out how to quell my nausea but here I am on the couch. I guess I just had a couple good days.

I have been having ridiculous dreams. Last night I was in a work camp during WWII butchering people. Then I transfigured into a cat and escaped. What!?
