Wednesday Symptoms

CrouchingTiger · December 2014

I work full time and I am in grad school...its finals week. All I want to do is sleep!

DaisyZH · December 2014

So so so sick. Water is the grossest thing in the world to me and I hate all food.

MKissa · December 2014

Two days ago I thought that you all had small bladders and I didn't believe the peeing thing would ever get to me. Pre pregnancy I NEVER got up during the night to use the restroom and last night THREE TIMES I PEED! THREE TIMES!

Also stabby booby pains.

Knottie12186149 · December 2014

Totally exhausted. Not only am I tired when I rarely do get a normal night of sleep, I can't actually sleep anymore. It's a struggle to fall asleep and then I toss and turn all night. I'm craving milk like crazy but the only thing that doesn't make me want to die is pretzels. Also, FI is going to go crazy soon. This didn't happen with my ectopic, but now sex is very uncomfortable. Sharp pains uncomfortable. Hoping that goes away soon or he might actually trade me in! $:\$

I am 6w6d and SO happy to be pregnant but I am miserable with morning (alllllllll day and alllllll night) sickness. Luckily no vomiting yet but I think I'm getting close and just all day constant nausea. The thought of food makes me queasy but being hungry makes it worse. All I really want are popsicles/freezies.. there's something about the cold that seems appealing right about now. But often times I'll have a craving only to give in and realize it's not satisfied at all. I have four different kind of beverages open on my desk at work with tiny sips taken out of each one cause I can't decide what I want to drink. It's so frustrating. I want SOMETHING but I can't tell what. Anyone have any tips to help with constant nausea?

Savanna111911 · December 2014

I'm having nausea pretty much constantly at this point and I'm never hungry. A lot of dry-heaving in the morning. So lovely.

I went to my CNM for the first appointment today. That went pretty well I think. I am 6W5D, which is about 4 days ahead of where I thought I was. There was an adorable little flutter that they tell me was a steady heartbeat so that was pretty exciting.

My CNM said that I should take 25 to 50 mg of B-6 three times a day and a unisom at night. I'm going to start that tonight and see if that helps my nausea. I also have some lower back pain and some mild to moderate cramping. Other than that, not many symptoms.

I'm also going to try to drink some ginger ale and eat some crackers before I get up in the morning. Standing up is always the worst for me, so I'm hoping that it will help.

Glad to hear I'm not the only crazy person doing all this. I have my final group project due this week and I have zero motivation to do it.

melanier26 · December 2014

All of a sudden the last couple of days I went from constipation to going at least twice a day. Is there some sort of switch or something right after 6 weeks?? Other than that I get the occasional gas/gas cramps and a little bit of nausea but I've been better about eating like 5 smaller meals a day so that's helped a lot. There are a few foods I had been eating and loving the past few weeks that all of a sudden taste terrible, but I'm trying to not give in to any crazy cravings. Got blood work drawn earlier. I'm very anxious to hear the results, I've been very worried the last few days. Not for any real reason, just because

cubberss · December 2014

I've got some kind of stomach bug situation going on. It's masking my symptoms today.

mazing86 · December 2014

First pregnancy, not sure what to expect. I'm 4w1d. Is it normal to feel cramping and how long does this last?

murphylouise · December 2014

Still not much going on here... Some dull aches in my lower abdomen. Had my beta rest come back at 490, so here's to hoping that it doubles by Friday.

Yes the cramping is normal unless you are in severe pain or it accompanied with bleeding (not spotting) etc. I am 4w6d and have had cramping at some point every day. It's just your uterus getting situated and preparing for what's about to happen. Check out some of the other symptoms threads or search "cramping" at the bottom and you will find lots of ladies in your boat.

Still not much happening over here other than crazy pregnancy brain. I sweat when I'm on the phone making appointments because I know I'm going to forget something that will make me look like a complete idiot. My...address? Uh...um...shit.

I have told multiple attorneys that we can't have settlements next week bc we are closed Weds & Thurs for the holiday... Grrrrr

truluv120403 · December 2014

Yesterday the train had delays and I started bawling and blaming my boss! lol ok technically not a wednesday symptom, so far today im just extra hungry. i am eating every 1 hour or more.

yelah250 · December 2014

Overwhelming diarrhea. Nausea. Itchy. Cold.

I literally am having a hard time keeping water down, that's how much diarrhea I'm having.

Me too @CrouchingTiger‌ exact same situation. I have a take home exam in my possession that I've fallen asleep on top of 3 times!

Alicia225 · December 2014

I have practically no symptoms other than a little bloating and sore nipples/boobs, and creamy white CM. I am 4w4d so perhaps I am in for it within the next week or so but so far so good.

mazing86 · December 2014

Thanks for replying! No spotting or anything at all. It just feels like I'm going to get my period.

Shellz4363 · December 2014

Bloating, headaches, and oh the heartburn. Everything is giving me heartburn. EVERYTHING!

amtippey · December 2014

It's my first too, but I read up on it, and it seems pretty common and usually no problem if there's no bleeding. Plus, it usually pops up on these symptoms boards, which is a sanity saver! I'm 6w1d, and I've had them randomly throughout the day for the last two weeks.

pmcd886 · December 2014

Well I puked up my lunch. After that, I felt better than I have in almost two weeks, but that only lasted about twenty minutes. Now my nausea is back full force.

kamio92 · December 2014

My doc has put me on a really strict list of foods. More than the normal pregnancy no goes.

Besides being constantly nauseous and almost hurling whenever it comes to food... I eat because I know that I have to but I have no interest in my food. I'm craving all of the bad stuff and strong flavours and fruit and vege just aren't doing it.

alichamb · December 2014

I feel enormous even though I know it's just bloating.... And I wish I didn't feel so awful about it, because I know it's all natural and a part of the process.... But I can't help feeling awful about it anyway! And all I want to eat all day long is nachos!

patrickelizabeth · December 2014

Still sluggish:/ constant hunger... But other wise feeling good:)

Amwest1526 · December 2014

I hear you. I'm a 3rd year medical student, working nights this week, and have shelf exam next week. All I want to do is sleep also.

mreinke8289 · December 2014

Christmas = sappy stuff on the internet = lots of crying.

No morning sickness yet but last time it started at about 7 weeks so I'm trying to prepare mentally. Totally hungry. All the time tired. Needed a nap driving to work and another driving home. Too bad I was driving.

Craving pasta with creamy sauce (like Mac and Cheese or Alfredo).

bmshelnutt · December 2014

Throwing up multiple times a day and the nausea rarely isn't present... Have any of your drs suggested vitamin b6 with unisom? If so, what dosage? Mine just said whatever I got at the store, but they only carried 100mg tabs of b6, which seemed like quite a bit to take multiple times a day. Does this combo really work better than phenegran or zofran?

I'm cold and my skin hurts. Probably not related to pregnancy.

@meg2j‌ I'm cold and my skin hurts too. It feels like I have a fever, except there is no fever. I have a hard time with anything touching me.

Went to the doctor for my now crippling cramps. I swore I was having an ectopic pregnancy. Nope... that sac is in my uterus, thank goodness! Cramps are normal, and the doctor said that even very painful cramps can be normal. So we proceed.

aktharp · December 2014

I am 5 weeks and 5 Days with kiddo #3. Fatigue and definitely more hungry as well as sore boobs. I skipped the morning sickness with my other pregnancies so i am hoping to continue that trend.

I do feel very bad for all of you going through that. Not fun. Hang in there!

Have you talked to your doctor? Severe diarrhea is no fun

Kalidawn523 · December 2014

@bmshelnutt‌ 100 mg B6 is a toxic dose. You cannot take more than 75 mg total a day. More can cause liver failure and more. I know someone it happened to. Check to make sure it's not 100mcg bc that would be safe. Just make sure to watch what you're doing. Good luck!!

This. I hurt and MH thinks I'm crazy! I've never been a winter person because I can't stand to be cold. I was really hoping that I would gain some heat from this bean.

bmshelnutt · December 2014

@Kalidawn523‌ thank you! I have a pill cutter, so I'll slice these in fourths and spread the 75mg across the day.

It got real today ya'll. So I was in our meeting standing up. Enjoying my oatmeal (don't judge me... Lol). Well I realize this "short" meeting is going a little longer than usual. Finally it ends but as I am walking to my office, I begin to feel faint. Like seriously dizzy and hot!! I got nauseous too! I was terrified; which didn't help at all! My poor male co-worker was like are you okay? I was like nah... Lol! Omg! I think this may be MS. I don't know! But it calmed down after a few minutes.
That'll happen. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water snacking on healthy things. I use to have dizzy spells with DD

Thanks chica! I forced myself to drink water and tried to keep to myself. It did not happen after that, so that is good.

Hope everything is okay @jgesi!

@TNMoore84‌ A few days before I got my BFP I had the same problem when I was in the shower. She said it's low blood pressure. So stay hydrated and get up slowly as needed. And if you feel that hit, make sure you sit down right away because you could pass out pretty quickly.

AFM, this morning my oatmeal tasted like dirt and I have no idea why. I threw it out and had toast instead.

Last night I almost cried because I got lost trying to find the dry cleaners. Then I went to pick up our photo Christmas cards and realized I forgot to change the sample writing to personalize it. So all 40 of our cards said "From The Tylers", which is definitely not our last name.

I felt so embarrassed and stupid but thankfully they were nice and let me just fix it and pick up the correct ones today. I felt funny saying it out loud, but I told the lady ringing me up that I'm blaming it on pregnancy brain. She said when she was pregnant with her daughter, she forgot her PIN numbers and that had never happened before. She had to go to the bank to get them. That made me feel better!

It was so scary! But I am glad it went away. But I will make sure I am staying hydrated. Now if only I could get my husband to go to Taco Bell and get some tacos.

jgesi · December 2014

Thanks @Baby1Dany‌ and @DaisyZH‌! I was so relieved! She didn't really say specifically what was causing the cramps other than the uterus adjusting to growing new life. She said some people have cramps ranging in severity the whole first trimester, others won't have any. Guess it's just like anything else in this miracle we call pregnancy.

allelsefaild · December 2014

I tried to jog today, but my boobs said no, so I walked.

I almost puked when I walked into the bathroom at work (apparently someone had just pooped). Sprite is my BFF right now (1st soda in over 3 years) since it's keeping the nausea to a minimum. I think I want to petition to get ginger ale put in our vending machines. I'm super happy I haven't actually thrown up yet.

ShellyR · December 2014

I'm finally hungry but only for carbs. My newbie idealistic plans of maintaining a clean, healthy first trimester diet have gone out the window. I eat what sounds good. The spotting has mostly stopped, and I hope it stays away for good! Cramping is still happening but I'm rolling with it.
