Monday Symptoms/No Symptoms/Feelings/Movement Post

musictchr25 · January 2015

Feeling movement? Post it here! Not feeling movement? That's still normal at this point. Don't stress about it.

What symptoms do you have today? Don't have any? Awesome! Good for you!

Post it, ladies!

My skin is getting bad again because I realized the moisturizer I started using for a week or two had salacylic acid in it so I stopped as soon as I saw that. Now my skin is rebelling. I feel like my body is making more boogers than a baby. Seriously, every other second I think I have a bat in the cave. Plus I'm sneezing like crazy.

Pregnancy is so glamorous.

elbowpasta · January 2015

I'm getting the best of both trimesters, here. Still super nauseated all the time, no appetite, I hate food. Plus I have a splitting headache, RLP, and a stuffy/bloody nose. I'm just a ball of sunshine and happiness.

I used to love food. I miss the bond we once shared, food and I.... Maybe we'll meet again, someday. Perhaps in a cafe in Paris. I'll look at food, and food will look at me, and we'll share a knowing glance filled with the memories of what used to be.

I started using a konjac sponge and it has saved my life! My skin looks human again.

16 weeks and my nausea is finally getting better! I'm down to taking zofran every other day instead of 3 times a day.

And I am feeling a little bit of movement! This was about when I started feeling my son move so I'm not too surprised, but it's still exciting. I can't wait until the movement gets consistent, it's so reassuring.

Also, acne. Never had this last time around, or really even much as a teenager. Guess I am making up for it now!

finchfeeder80 · January 2015

@tashany99 my weight has been doing strange and terrible things. At one point I was up 16 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight- EEK!!!! As of this morning I was right about where I was at my checkup last month. Seeing as she only wants me to gain around 10-15 pounds, I was having a meltdown. I'm worrying about weight more now than when I'm actively trying to lose it! I think a lot of it has to do with my level of constipation at the time I step on the scale.

My acne has been flaring back up in the past couple of days and I haven't changed anything. So over that. I am soooo not a glowing, radiant pregnant lady. I'm congested, too. I'm going to Target after work to look at humidifiers. I'm so tired of waking up to a mouth drier that the Sahara.

I had my first really uncomfortable night last night. I should have just stayed up and watched Downton Abby instead of trying to be a good girl and get some sleep. I just could not get comfortable to save my life. It was the first night that I wasn't completely comfy on my stomach.

( I'm not normally a back sleeper, but I seriously contemplated using my body pillow and sleeping in a reclined position at one point. I think I got up to pee like four times. *sigh*

Other than that, I'm just plugging along. If not for the random RLP and full feeling in my pelvic area, I still wouldn't know I'm pregnant most days. Oh, and the persistent exhaustion. I'm still waiting for the 2nd tri magic to happen there!

starrysmile18 · January 2015

My lower back hurts... a lot. I don't know if it's crampy or just sore. It's just the lower right side. It sucks and I have to sit at work in front of the computer all day. Joy.

girlymama79 · January 2015

I'm 18 weeks today! Finally feeling confident enough that I ordered a crib. It was also on sale and that was a major push.

Lots of nausea, lots of Braxton hicks, lots of tiny baby movement. My skin is itchy my face is breaking out. I'm starving but I'm 100% sure if I eat I'll throw up...ugh pregnancy is not my friend, babies are though.

BrightFirefly · January 2015

17 weeks. As far as I know..haven't felt any movement. Other than achey lower back and baby bump, I don't really feel pregnant. No complaints about that though.

beersandweirs · January 2015

I *may* have felt the tiniest bit of movement this weekend. Maybe some STM+ could weigh in, it felt like something poking me from inside, in the same spot a couple of times. I don't think it was gas, but I could be wrong...

lwyz · January 2015

Yesterday I spent the day puking to the point of just puking up bile and gagging into the toilet and having the most insane gas/constipation pains and today I just wanted to call in sick but I had too much going on at work. So I'm on my lunch, trying not to pile up what I just ate and just wanting to diiie. Almost 15 weeks, I need this 2nd tri stuff to kick in!

16 w today and I totally have this too. It's like how my lower back sometimes hurts before my period starts, but worse. I also sit at a computer all day and it's not good :-(

I'm really really hoping that this isn't the start of even worse low back problems as I get bigger and bigger. Ugh. My belly isn't big enough to warrant this kind of low back pain.

blastocarrier30 · January 2015

My back pain finally went away after last week's road trip, AND I felt LO kicking around in there last night when I got into bed. Poor DH put his hand down to try to felt it, thought he did and was pretty bummed when I told him that it wasn't moving when he thought he did.

I, however, am SUPER excited about it and can't wait for our A/S on Thursday

awheeler4311 · January 2015

@asutherl‌ I'm laughing hysterically. Glad to hear you made it safe and sound!!

Feeling good today. Just sleepy. Acne is freaking horrid. I feel bad for anyone who has to see me in normal sunlight bc my face is wicked. And now it's itchy and oily. Haven't felt the LO in a few days (little flutters here and there but no real kicks like I was feeling before) and this makes me sad

I know it's normal, but I checked with the doppler anyway, and HB is still the same. Can't wait until I feel like all day every day so I don't have to use the Doppler to make me feel better and ease my anxiety.

alyralfs · January 2015

I'm 16w2d and lately my nausea has been better. This morning however I got sick before my doctors appointment, at my doctors appointment, and even when I got home. On a brighter note, I've got an active baby with a healthy heart beat of 158

I'm not sure if I've felt movement at this point. I have an anterior placenta so I know it could be a while. I've been feeling twitches here and there though so that has me wondering if it's the baby or digestion/gas/ect.

I've been really tired the last couple days and have been feeling some RLP but other than that I can't complain!

OohSparkly13 · January 2015

My nausea is back full force today. I've been dry-heaving all morning at work. I had soup for lunch because the idea of eating anything solid sounded like a horrible idea. I have a feeling it will be soup for dinner tonight. I am still dealing with extreme exhaustion every day as well.

On the bright side, my face isn't dry and patchy anymore. And I haven't had any issues with restless legs for a few days now!

rolson8947 · January 2015

Today I am 17 weeks and 5 days. My nausea has almost went away completely, but every now and then it surprises me and reminds me that it's not completely gone yet. I have sciatica on my right side and that's very uncomfortable, but hopefully in time it will go away. My boobs are getting humongous (which I would rather them not since I just got a breast lift and implants back in May after losing 70 pounds...haha obviously my pregnancy was a surprise, but I'm very thankful!). And now I'm starting to get a little bit of acne and I hope it doesn't get any worse, but it is what it is. Now if only my bump will show, that's what I'm waiting on

Young814 · January 2015

Im 15 weeks today super excited but as im reading im really not having any symptoms. I was really nauseous and hated food in my first trimester and now Im ok (for right now). My next doctors appointment is the 12th and Im anxious because I feel like I should be having more symptoms or feeling the babe.

TheNewMrsY · January 2015

Getting frequent headaches, some BH contractions (I was glad to see another poster said this, too!) and felt movement at 16+0 but nothing since! So anxious for more! Otherwise feeling pretty good.

bossybluejay · January 2015

I'm 15w1d and although I'm not really showing (I just look like I have a little potbelly), its uncomfortable to bend over. It feels like I'm bending around an apple or something thats on my stomach. Anyone else feel like that?

leenziepops · January 2015

@bossybluejay‌ Not quite an apple for me. More oval like?
Every night past 5 days I feel this weird painless cramping feeling right under my belly button then i get the very firm bump just sticking up. Its a little more oval shaped. Sometimes its off to the right. Then it disappears as I relax. I don't want to excite myself and say its movement but maybe some weird muscle action.... anyone getting this?

Ive had this! I cannot figure out what it is. Well for me it's almost like the right side is contracting and the left is not. I thought it was baby moving and pushing on it, but I'm leaving towards some kind of contraction or muscle spasms?

Tmi. But i can trigger it off if i get aroused so I think its a muscle thing. I first noticed it after having sex recently and I had an orgasm. So yeah i think muscle spasm. I sometimes pretend its my baby and rub the hard bump.... boo hoo... I'm probably rubbing a bowel full of shit. Lol

valeriemarie24 · January 2015

I was doing ok until I got groceries and carried them back to my apartment. The bag wasn't super heavy, just a little awkward to carry. It's -15 where I am and I think between the cold and carrying grocery bag on my arm I exhausted myself. I feel kind of pukey now, but I'm gonna eat and see where that gets me

klkonwi · January 2015

16 weeks. GIVE ME ALL THE FOOD !!!!!! All of it. This feeling is very bad! Heartbeat 141

It doesnt really feel like muscle spasms or cramping for me and I cant really feel it until I bend over- it literally just feels like there's something in my stomach that I'm bending around. I assume the logical explanation would be that my uterus has moved up haha

8411mommy · January 2015

FINALLY!!! Last night laying in bed, I rolled over onto my side and LO' and BEHOLD.... I felt our baby! It did a little kick and a roll to get comfy itself. So excited to start feeling it.
I am a STM and It was on day 18 w 1 d!

bossybluejay · January 2015

My energy level is definitely going up! I actually did some laundry, changed sheets, took down the Christmas decorations, picked up the house, and made homemade chicken noodle soup last night. My appetite is steadily increasing and I'm gaining some of the weight back that I lost in the first tri- I had waffles for breakfast and then on the way to work, picked up a tea and breakfast sandwich from Starbucks. I haven't eaten that much food in a short amount of time since like....9 weeks ago! On the downside, I'm really congested which is driving me nuts and also causing headaches.

Has anyone else noticed being out of breathe really easily? I was drying my hair this morning and I had to take a couple of breaks because I was out of breathe from roundbrushing it. Also, taking down the Christmas decorations yesterday, I was like walking around panting!

Nothing new on this front, other than I'm craving Arby's instead of the much-healthier turkey sub that is waiting for me at home...we'll see how this goes.

Also, my right ovary is seriously painful today. It's the one I always had problems with before pregnancy, so I'm sure it's just a cyst, but damn! I thought I'd get a bit of a break from PCOS stuff until June

Oh Arby's... It has been my downfall! Why did you have to mention it?

scprincessrn · January 2015

I'm finally over my head cold from last week so I can breathe again. While on break at work yesterday, I for sure felt the baby move. STM and 17w4d yesterday. Up until then I couldn't tell if it was gas, etc.

I have a headache from hell today and my heartburn is kicking today. I hope the zantac helps before dinner because I HAVE to have a bloomin' onion of dinner. I smelled onion at work yesterday and immediately needed onion rings. Unfortunately I don't get off work until 11pm so all the places that serve onion rings are closed. I told DH that we had to go to Outback tonight. He didn't fight me on that at all.

missjenniebean · January 2015

I opened at work today which was good. I also had leggings on under my work pants, also good. Why? Because this whole pee when you sneeze thing got outta control. Soon as I got to work, I sneezed and then my panty liner was not able to hold up. So I literally had to change out of my undies at work. luckily, no one was there yet!

Also, I have been getting this uncomfortable crampy feeling down there, which I can only assume means baby is getting bigger!

No movement yet! Can't wait though!

Ladymouse · January 2015

I wish this little one was moving more. DS was starting to move regularly by this stage. I have an awful cold (no fever, mercifully.) More mentally here than yesterday, but physically feel crappier.

ravinraven216 · January 2015

I found about a dozen eyelashes on my desk and keyboard over the course of the day, which was a lot more than usual. I asked my coworker about it (she has an 18 month old) and she said it's totally normal during pregnancy. Weird, but normal.

rweaver8611 · January 2015

Horrible lower left back pain shooting straight down almost to my leg. Called the doc and all I can do is take Tylenol and wear a belly band. Whomp whomp.

It has been going on for 3 weeks and getting worse...can't roll over in bed, walk, or sit comfortably. Hard when you work with kids all day!

NOOOOO! My eyelashes are one of the good things about my face!

Kathjnr22 · January 2015

The headaches are not fun... getting one every second day or so... think my energy is coming back a little (but that might just be after the few days Off work!

Haven't slept much the last two nights - this had improved over the last 5 or 6 weeks - here's hoping to a good nights sleep tonight!

Still waiting for the movement... last night while lying on the couch I felt three soft thumps in the same spot down deep..... I wonder............

awheeler4311 · January 2015

@leenziepops‌ TMI samsies!!! That's usually when I feel it. Sometimes i don't have to be doing anything though.

kristykristyleelee · January 2015

I haven't been on the bump since before Christmas...now that I am back at work, and to my "normal" routine...I had 2 serious "AHA" (slash pregnancy brain) moments.

That horrendous pain I feel in my belly whenever I sneeze - yeah, that is Round ligament pain.

Also, there is serious snottage in my nose, at all times. This makes for a VERY dry mouth in the morning - perhaps buying a humidifier would help with that?!?!

Those are the predominant symptoms I am dealing with now.

I'm going to Target in just a couple minutes when I leave work to buy a humidifier. I had to quit my nose spray and that combined with pregnancy congestion= Sahara Desert mouth every morning!

I use a warm mist humidifier and blast that sucker all night and it really helps!

AeneaGrace · January 2015

So itchy! I was lying in bed last night and seriously had to get up and slather myself in coconut oil before I could relax and sleep.

A little movement here and there, which is lovely

And the weirdest thing, sometimes if I've been laying on one side all night, I can see that baby/uterus have drifted off to the side and are a firm little ball. Bizarre, but cool. My belly looks lopsided lol
