Saturday Symptoms Thread! You Got It, We Probably Do Too! POST IT ALL HERE!!!

Hi Ladies!
What symptoms are we all experiencing this morning? What's feeling better/worse than yesterday? Have any advice for your fellow bumpie? Share it all here!


I'll start by saying that my sinus trouble is most definitely allergies. I have some very telltale signs that lead me to believe it's just started early this year. I'm just happy it's not a cold.
I had some nausea and vomiting yesterday and am feeling queasy at the moment but not 100% sure that I will be tossing my cookies again...I'm hoping not.
Other than that, dry skin on the belly that is driving me nuts! It itches whether I am lathered in lotion or not. Can't seem to find much relief, wouldn't be surprised if I get a couple stretch marks soon. What are y'all using to keep your skin happy? Any tips?
Hope all is well!

    Only complaint I have today is ive woken up with a headache but I'm gathering that it's because I didn't have much sleep lol. I've noticed little one moving around a lot more since having my a/s scan on Wednesday which is great :)

    My little man is crazy active and the pressure on my bladder is unbearable sometimes. I have a non functioning bladder and didn't realize it could hurt like that. I'm hoping this isn't going to get worse. I also have BAD gas and haven't had an appetite lately.

    Really uncomfortable today. I feel like a stuffed sausage.
    Peeing all the time! This baby must be laying on my bladder.
    Tired.

    I feel as if I just woke up and all of the sudden I swallowed a watermelon! Where did this belly come from ?!?!
    I'm feeling sort of depressed due to trying to borrow maternity clothes from friends and........ None of them fit. Apparently I'm heavier than I thought.
    Sleep troubles......
    Hmmmm other than that.... I'm good.

    Had my first leg cramp last night! Wow, that was an uncomfortable way to be woken up. Luckily I remembered advice from someone on here about how to stretch it out, and it worked!

    @frankengibbs‌ Have you tried coconut oil? I LOVE it as a skin moisturizer.

    My entire right leg hurts like a bitch! I can't walk on it, and it's related to my hips. Not much can be done, according to my midwife, but I may have to start PT to help with managing the pain. Monster pain in the ass!

    Biggest thing for me is rlp the last couple weeks. This boy is stretching me to pieces. Been lathering in coconut butter almost 4 times a day due to my skin being dry. Had a cramp in my leg last night. Sucked! Haven't had one in years, used to get them nightly. My grandfather who passed away 2 years ago this month told me that a bar of soap under my sheets at the end of my bed would work. I didn't believe him, but tried it anyways. Lemme tell you. Never had one for the last 3 years. Til last night, so assuming pregnancy is an exception lol either way. Other than that happy to be feeling better than I was.

    Tired / starving if I'm not asleep I'm stuffing my face till I pass out. Today's new found fling is Hershey's chocolate spread. Mmmmmm

    Baby is active and kicking and for the first time in 6 pregnancies I'm showing before 7 months. So I'm enjoying my little belly and weight gain.

    Strange enough, I only had leg cramps when pregnant with my boys.

    Couple leg cramps yesterday and last night I had the worst acid reflux that woke me up a few times. Crazy amounts of energy that has had me cleaning up the nursery today. And our little girl is moving a lot to day. Not so much nausea which I'm loving. I can deal with everything else.

    No, I haven't actually...what has been your experience with it? (1-10?) I see a lot of people talking about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread but I'm not so quick to jump on the Pintrest trends.

    I had a great day! Besides the constat gas and being constipated a lot, I had a serious nesting itch, and boy did I scratch it! I got all the guest bedroom furniture moved into another room, and the baby room finally dedicated to it! Ready for a crib and such.. Only 20 weeks, but I don't want to make the mistake of waiting till I'm too tired and fat to do so! :)

    I'm a licensed esthetician, and I recommend coconut oil to most of my clients struggling with extreme dry skin, eczema, keratosis pilaris, and much more. I use it during facials and treatments as a gentle eye makeup remover. Any brand that's organic and cold pressed works and it's inexpensive especially when compared to high end moisturizers. And a little goes a long way, so it'll last forever. It can also be used as deep conditioning hair treatment, used as a carrier oil for essential oils, and much more. On a scale of 1-10, I definitely rate it a 10. But, don't take my word for it. Give it a try. Let me know what you think!

    Was feeling like a stuffed sausage due to not being able to have a BM in like 3 days but much better now. Some belly button pain...and ravenous. Other than that I slept 9 hours last night so I'm feeling good :)

    My back pain has been unbearable today. I can barely bend down to pick something up off the floor. I have to get a belly band soon.

    I've had a headache for three days on and off now. Usualy when I get up too fast, walk up the stairs or see bright light and it lasts hours! I have major heartburn, I'm guessing it's off my chilli craving. I am eating chilli in any form, even whole!

    I get headaches too.. But keeping hydrated and naps usually help!

    Sorry about the itching. Try staying hydrated and using a really good moisturizer (as you can see above, I really like coconut oil). I hope you get some relief soon!

    As for movement, it really depends on many different factors. I'm 20 weeks, 5 days and am just started to recognize movement. It sort of freaked me out at 1st because I was feeling movement much sooner with DD1 and DD2. Each pregnancy/person is different, so as long as you aren't experiencing cramping or bleeding try not to worry too much. And, of course, check with your doc if you are concerned.
