For some reason I've been getting heartburn now almost every night... like when I'm laying in bed. I've tried to prop my head up more but it's uncomfortable for me to sleep. I've never had heartburn (even in my life) until the last week and it's miserable... anyone have any tips to help calm it?

Oh and acne... I thought the first trimester was over. I seriously woke up looking like I was a sophomore in high school again. How embarrassing...

I'msorrymsjackson · January 2015

Still nauseated most days and throwing up every couple days. And still losing weight instead of gaining...down 17 lbs as of today. I was overweight to start with so probably not too big a concern but still weird.

missjenniebean · January 2015

@amooraxo - I was exactly the same. Never had heartburn in my life then had it non-stop for like three weeks. Tums were my best friend and my doctor Ok'd pepcid one.

I went from heartburn to being gassy
. Everytime I bend over I let out a stinker. My SO swears I do it on purpose. I don't.

I am also fighting off a head cold, so any other symptoms pass gas I dont Notice!

leenziepops · January 2015

Peeing more frequently again. And just impatiently waiting for my first movement

I wish I had Tums! I'm in Qatar and there isn't any tums that I've found here... just Maalox chewables and those aren't as safe when you're pregnant (from what I've read) so I'm reluctant to take any...

jwiem15 · January 2015

I've been feeling pretty good now. But I still get bad headaches. And I seem to be coming down with either a cold or the flu. I was exposed to the flu just 3 days ago

kemdupuis · January 2015

@amooraxo‌ you can't get tums?! I can't imagine what I would do without them... If you don't have someone else stateside that can mail you some, I'd be happy to do it

surfingmama · January 2015

Been so sick the last 24 hours. Fever, chills, aches. Resting and praying it doesn't get any worse

aj1327 · January 2015

Feeling good and starting to workout again now that I don't feel like throwing up all of the time. Definitely noticed an increase in my appetite and I'm still more tired than usual...if I lay down at any point I'm falling asleep.

youstolemysoul · January 2015

I'm getting tired again. My hips and lower back hurt a lot now too. But I am feeling little movements now, so that's a plus!

mollymargaret1 · January 2015

Hips and back hurt. Still throwing up a lot. And heartburn.

Ah the beauty of pregnancy. ;-) can't wait for my bundle to be here and make it all worth it!

tcodoner · January 2015

I'll second and third the hip and back pain! Also...wtf is up with this super dry skin?! Not enjoying being itchy, ashy and having dandruff as a result.

My mantra is just *remember it'll all be worth it come June*

Sunny B · January 2015

I hope the ladies that aren't feeling well start to feel better soon.

@tcodoner I'm super itchy too.

When I woke up this morning I had like a small gush of liquid. Not enough that it was pouring down my leg or anything, but enough to wet my underwear. Anybody else have something similar?

I've had some clear discharge that sounds like what you're having. It's not a ton, but it's weird. I'm used to that amount of wet being menstrual blood, and I still haven't really gotten used to it.

Also, I have the damn flu. Went to MedExpress to see if they could help at all with the cough (they can't) and got one of those rapid tests where they shove a pipe cleaner into your nose until you take a swing at them. Flu. Balls.

taboullio84 · January 2015

Throwing up so much I was dehydrated... Muscle cramps.. So I get to have suppositories ... Yay .. They are helping me keep stuff down.

Me too! I'm drenching myself in lotion and yet I look like a crack addict all day itching myself. Ughhh

mollymargaret1 · January 2015

I'm also super cranky. I hate everyone for some reason. I have to make a conscious effort to not be a raging bitch to people all day.

Thanks so much for the response. SO sorry to hear that you have the flu. Feel better soon.

kls6382 · January 2015

Headaches, going all the way down my neck. Stiff neck. Argh.

Acid reflux that makes me puke in the am (didn't have any MS in the first trimester, so I was like, what is this?!?) Dreading going back to work tomorrow.

courtyowl427 · January 2015

Had kind of a strange/scary thing happen yesterday evening. I had a headache and took Tylenol, laid down, and slept for a few minutes. When I woke up I was really foggy. I was trying to text something back and my brain was not working. I was thinking of what I wanted to write, but could not type it out correctly. There was disconnect between my brain and fingers. For the life of me, could not write a sentence I was thinking. I closed my eyes again and called DH. He said my speech was fine and just to rest. The episode passed within 10-15 minutes, it was just so strange. I did a ton of lifting yesterday and carrying heavy stuff up and down the stairs. We were cleaning out the basement and tearing up the soon to be nursery, not sure if I just did too much.

Anyone experience anything like this, did I just over do it, blood sugar low?? Any ideas?

marinamarina · January 2015

Headaches occasionally, gone spinning 10 or od the past 14 dad which has been AWESOME. Lots of underwear changing. But tell me something

Anyone getting vague diffuse sensations across the baby area? Kind if sharp and lasting 2-3 seconds. Not round ligament, not lightning crotch, not cramp. Is it kicking? Or is it "my abdominal muscles stretching" like anther friend said?

Happens when I'm just sitting here. Very well hydrated, no blood sugar crashes, still taking prenatals. Medical mystery, will ask ObGyn tomorrow at checkin.

But anyone??

KonaCoffeeBean · January 2015

I am like the worst pregnancy stereotype lately. Yesterday, it was 30° and snowing, and I was at the grocery store doubling down on ice cream. And this morning I spent an hour crying for no reason at all.

ohiodoxiemama08 · January 2015

I definitely made a stupid decision and ate/drank too much sugary stuff this morning. My blood sugar pretty much bottomed out after the sugar rush and I felt absolutely terrible. Not giving in to the donut cravings without eating a substantial meal again!

Other than that I am just tired. Is anyone else still waiting on the 2nd semester energy to kick in? I had tons with DD. Perhaps the fact that I am chasing around a toddler now is sucking all my energy but I want it back!

Apollo11235 · January 2015

I'm feeling pretty well, but starting to just feel big/full after a meal. Not necessarily a large meal, and it's not my stomach, it's my obliques. Weird. I also think I've had a couple BH contractions in the last week.

housewifebecomesher · January 2015

For the heartburn, google a list of foods to avoid with GERD. Just a warning: it's long! I have also heard Apple cider vinegar but haven't tried it myself. I am on prescription Zantac but it doesn't help that much.

For my symptoms: Today I snissed for the first time. I feel like I've been initiated into the club now.

HooDoll · January 2015

I am starting to feel discomfort of my upper abs area... Like I ate a big meal or something and my stomach is bigger than my skin allows! Also tried to get out of bed yesterday and found rolling was easier ... Yikes, gotta keep some semblance of abs, it's too early!

lfaithlove · January 2015

Today I had an all-around uncomfortable day to rival some of the hottest, longest, 9-months-pregnant days I ever had with DS. Hips and backs and legs all aching, shortness of breath and sooooo much pressure constantly in my uterus. I am praying its just a fluke deal and tomorrow we'll be back to the second trimester feels because I am laying down right now and still uncomfortable.

grrr.

nate8298 · January 2015

How are you ladies dealing with the back/hip pain? Mine just started today and i have tried Tylenol and hot/cold pads. It is to the point where standing straight up is not happening today. Any advice is welcomed.

turtletyme · January 2015

@ohiodoxiemama08‌ I slept for 11 hours last night and still napped today. That 2nd tri energy burst is nowhere to be found. I am dreading going back to a normal work schedule... I have loved taking naps on the holiday days off.

lwyz · January 2015

I'm either experiencing major gas pain or major constipation pain or both I don't know. But it sucks.

bruunk · January 2015

I've had a cold all week. Thank god I already had the time off from work, I was out of it. Lots of sleeping. I think I have more energy than 1st trimester, but that could be a weeks worth of naps.... Heartburn is a constant. Slowly figuring out triggers for it (confirmed chocolate is a trigger, that was sad) but also assuming it's just my new normal.

AmyCee · January 2015

Crampy and lethargic all day...also in detox from eating road trip food for two days!!!

This is me the past few days...exactly!

Also, terrible evening headaches. I am still exhausted and I think part of that is chasing around my toddler all day (as a PP said).

Yoga has helped a lot with my hips and lower back and just moving around in general seems to help.

esampson1983 · January 2015

I was super lazy all morning. I didn't even get out of bed to get breakfast until 10- this is rivaling my college days... Ha! I don't know what I will do when I have to go back to work tomorrow and wake up at least 4 hours earlier...

I'm having some pain in my uterus. My nipples are still dry, but not as dry as yesterday. I've had some pain in my crotch. Weirdness... I will ask my dr. about it tomorrow. Overall the symptoms haven't been too bad today.

klkonwi · January 2015

I'm having uterine cramps way too often. It's very annoying while trying to sleep.

kbbtah · January 2015

Morning sickness has returned?!?! Exhausted.

CBHoneyB · January 2015

Still have morning sickness still vomiting everyday, finally stopped dropping weight just staying stable. Can't get over the exhaustion but having a really hard time sleeping at night because when I lay down I get congested and due to a sensitive nasal passage I have nose bleeds. Happy to finally have an appetite and started feeling the baby move. Can't wait for DH and DS to be able to feel.

bossybluejay · January 2015

Headaches. Insanely congested...I sleep with a warm humidifier blasting all night long. Nausea seems to be mostly gone & my energy is much higher. Finally able to cook and eat normal food again, instead of fast food! Oh and bloat/gas pains most nights.
