Hope you all are feeling well!

As for myself, I ate some chili that my best friend's grandma sent home with us and I'm pretty sure it gave me food poisoning. I was up all night with horrible diarrhea and vomiting (mostly projectile - I'm sure DH loved that part), it was awful. I still feel nauseated this morning, but I'm doing my best to tough it out until after work when I can really get some rest. Good part of being a nanny, is that sometimes I can sneak in naps and there's plenty of apple juice for me to sip on.
Have any of you had food poisoning while pregnant? Any advice you guys have for feeling better, I would greatly appreciate!
Other than food poisoning, my breasts are killing me, but I think it's just because my milk is really coming in (I've been a bit leaky lately).

Holy acid reflux. I had some French toast and OJ for breakfast this morning and have been dealing with acid reflux ever since. Guess I won't be making THAT mistake again...

@frankengibbs good luck with recovering from food poisoning! That sounds awful!

Back pain and foot pain. Have to pee but my cat is currently laying on my hip area and I don't want to disturb him cause he's so cute. But I have to pee! :-S

I feel like a whale today. I woke up with a huge belly, shortness of breath and some pain in my hips and lower back. Love feeling all the baby kicks and movements.
@frankengibbs I'm so sorry about the food poisoning! That sounds terrible! Hope you feel better quickly.

I feel like a whale today. I woke up with a huge belly, shortness of breath and some pain in my hips and lower back. And I'm peeing constantly!

Love feeling all the baby kicks and movements.

Meant to add @frankengibbs - that *really* sucks. I could not even imagine a stomach flu or food poisoning right now. Hope you feel better soon!

frankengibbs · March 2015

Thank you all!

You guys are sweet! I'm hoping by the end if the day I'll be feeling back to normal.

@karaelaine1991 Mmmmm french toast, I hope that didn't cause it! I love french toast entirely too much this pregnancy so I would be sad if that was it.

I know me too! I'm thinking it was probably the combination of that plus the orange juice - I made cinnamon French toast, so the spices probably were not a good combination with the acid from the orange juice. I'll try again tomorrow but will drink milk instead!

frankengibbs · March 2015

@karaelaine1991 That makes sense, I've been trying to drink mostly water and that helps a bit with the acid reflux

devyns2nd · March 2015

Eww @frankengibbs that sucks. DH woke up at 3am with a "stomach bug" I refuse to believe it's food poising because he has only ate my food for a few days.

I went on a smoothie hunt last night (thanks guys) and came home with nothing. Who knew DQ stopped making them at 10 ugh. Anyway I have an incredible craving for smoothies right now and I could cry. I'm trying to hold out until after a Drs appointment but man I can't stop thinking about it.

frankengibbs · March 2015

@devyns2nd I shouldn't have trusted it, it was bagged to be frozen and the first thing best friend's grandma said to best friend is that she looked fatter than last time she saw her, even made a point to say it more than once. I'm not saying she gave us food poisoning on purpose, but that's just a bit suspicious to me...
...also, a smoothie would actually sound good about now!

MamaBish · March 2015

Tailbone pain sucks today. I am trying to sit in a way that it doesn't put pressure on it, but then I look like a weirdo sitting at my desk, lol.

frankengibbs That sucks! I would not want to deal with that.

@devyns2nd do you have a blender? You could make your own with some yogurt, fruit and ice, I do it all the time because htere is really nowhere remotely close to me to buy a smoothie.

KaLikeAWind · March 2015

@MamaBish - eh, just sit crooked. Tell co workers the baby is making you lopsided.

Hah, I sit on a ball and right now, I am sitting in a way that it looks kind of like a cat in heat with my back arched and my ass sticking out, lol. Super work appropriate

klkonwi · March 2015

Oh my gosh you guys I just found 2 spider veins or stretch marks on the inner under side of my leg......... Very upsetting......... Wonder where they are going to show up next!!!!

lizabean15 · March 2015

Okay guys iv been really sick for a couple weeks my ears hurt there's pressure in my head and I'm coughing up all this mucus took some approved medicine (Benedryl saline spray my vitamins orange juice ect) my doctor pretty much told me to suck it up..I need some suggestions please I'm so frustrated I can't get rid of this crap I can't sleep because im so congested and I can't breath I could stand in the shower for hours and nothing helps has anyone gotten through this with any home remedies that actually work I'm desperate and miserable.

katester91 · March 2015

This isn't really a symptom but I don't want to start a new thread... I went to an OB appt today and I'm measuring at 30weeks instead of 27. So I go for an ultrasound on Thursday. Apparently my mom measured big for both my brother and I so I'm trying not to worry. Other than that everything is great the rash I have been complaining about is starting to ease up, I've been taking Claritin and it's doing wonders (it was okay with my OB). Im sorry @frakengibbs you're going through that, must be awful. Feel better soon.

This was me about a month ago! I got one of those Vicks vaporizers which helped a little. Then I got desperate to stop coughing and tried the crazy old wive's tale Of putting Vicks vapor rub on the bottoms of my feet. Amazingly, it worked!! It wasn't a cure but it slowed the coughing enough for sleep. Also, it needs to be reapplied every couple hours.

Westypet · March 2015

That time when you bent over to pick something up, and you threw up instead. Oops?

devyns2nd · March 2015

@MamaBish I just went and bought one!!!

And you should ask your Dr for a donut pillow. I broke my tailbone when I was 8m with DD and it helped a ton. I even used it after delivery to relieve...other pains. Its less of an eye sore for work too.

frankengibbs · March 2015

You guys are all so sweet, benefit of projectile vomiting is that I missed the car entirely when I forced myself to go grocery shopping.

DH is such a sweetie though and took me to lunch since I keep insisting I'm not sick and after a long nap I am finally starting to feel okay.

First of all thank you! >:D<
Second, did they (OB) say anything that was cause for concern? If I'm remembering correctly they use to tell SIL that my eldest niece was measuring big but it worked to her benefit because she ended up being a preemie...but anyways, could be entirely normal? I'm just curious because I've always assumed it meant maybe the DD was off but is there something else it could be?

katester91 · March 2015

It could be a sign of diabetes (I haven't had my glucose test yet), or increased fluid which can be a sign of downs, or twins (but if they haven't caught that by now I might have some problems with somebody lol). I googled also but that wasn't very helpful. I have a feeling everything will be fine because my mom and my grandma (my moms mom) both said they measured big with their pregnancies.

taboullio84 · March 2015

I been having restless legs... Holy crap I didn't realize how much this blows!!!

Westypet · March 2015

@frankengibbs vomiting in public is no fun!
"Oh, look, a cute pregnant la-"
*shocked gawkers scurry away from projectile vomit*

Feel better!! Keep that hubby doting on you. :-)

I've been dealing with it for 3 days now; mostly at night. It's quite miserable!!

Sometimes I trust moms and grandmas more...though I share the sentiment of if you haven't caught it by now, I will be mad thing.

Pretty much! But at least I have an excuse instead of just being that person who denies that they are sick (even though I'm totally being that person).
He can be sweet sometimes, I'll keep him yet

My mother has this normally, she says it keeps her up at night...I do not wish to share this experience. Wishing you ladies some relief!

The only other thing I did was drink lots of decaf tea with honey in it, hope you feel better!
