Daily Symptoms Thread - Wednesday 3/18

frankengibbs · March 2015

Good Morning J15,
How are you all feeling? Share your old symptoms, new symptoms, gripes, 3 cheers, and whatever else here!
Hope you're all well!

I'll start - So the "little" cough I've had for the last couple days has turned into something else entirely. My throat feels so dry, my voice feels damn near gone and when I went to blow my nose this morning it was blood. I know I got it from the kids I take care of but I'm annoyed because I don't know exactly what "it" is or how to start feeling better or if I should be concerned. Otherwise my only symptoms are the constant need to pee, night and day, accompanied by a ridiculous need to drink something 24/7 and a weird looking rash in my cleavage.
I can't wait to go back to bed...

Not really pregnancy related but my son woke up with the stomach flu.

I'm just really hoping I don't get it!

alsier · March 2015

I got a weird-looking rash under my boobs and it ended up being yeast. Got a special cream from the derm and it should be gone in 2 weeks. He said it's harmless, though!

Fingers crossed you don't get it! I had food poisoning a week back and that was miserable so I can only imagine how awful the stomach flu would be.
Also, hope your DS starts to feel better soon!

Hmmm...What did the rash look like? I have a rash too but it's not like my typical hives.

I have had strange stomach pain that wraps around to my back and lots of headaches. Going in today at 330pm. My nurse brain says," your prob just being a baby and it's nothing / don't go in unless your dying." But my mom brain says..... I guess better safe than sorry.

virginiaunicorn11 · March 2015

this babe is either way more active or big enough for me to really feel the movement! from the top of my ribs to down near my pelvis. I love it! (so far.) am out of town for a conference this week, and am feeling surprisingly good, especially compared to last week. Hope this continues...!

Also hope you ladies exposed to yuckiness stay healthy :-(

knwilliams01 · March 2015

This stomach flu is definitely getting the best of me. One bottle of water down today with some sprite so at least I have avoided the ER so far. Here's to hoping it's short lived, otherwise I am going to have a lot of weight loss to catch up on.

megmama · March 2015

Can NOT sleep! Was up all night, and still have to bring my girl to kindergarten and then go into work... super tired.. going to be a long 10 weeks from here!

frankengibbs · March 2015

@klkonwi You'll have to let us knowwhat happens, hoping for the best!

@knwilliams01 Wishing you better health as well!

JeeGooDowster · March 2015

I've been waking up in the middle of the night ....not really a good sleep; and my fingers are STILL tingly...UGH

mjschenk · March 2015

I'll agree to the lack of sleep last night as I sat there awake I almosted started crying that apparently I will never be able to sleep good again. I really value my sleep.

I hope you feel better soon! My son has never been this sick...it's brutal. Luckily, he's been able to keep down toast and ice for the past 45 minutes.

Not really anything new to add today... just the same hip pain that I've been feeling. The cool thing is I'm now at the point where my bump is obvious enough that people know I'm pregnant and will just ask me questions instead of kind of side-eyeing me and wondering, haha. I did the storytime at the library where I intern today and all the moms were asking me when I'm due and all that fun stuff. A few of them are actually expecting babies soon after me, so that was really cool to talk about. My internship is a good 20 minute drive from my apartment - on the complete opposite side of the city - but I think I might bring DD to programs there after she's born anyway just to keep up with the relationships that I've formed there. It's fun to think about all the stuff that we'll do together after she's born

The other fun thing that happened in the last 24 hours is that last night I had a dream about baby! I dreamed that she came now, which I'm pretty sure is a direct result of having set up our pack-n-play yesterday (picture attached), but in my dream she was totally healthy, although super tiny. She looked like my husband, with very thick dark hair. It'll be interesting to see if that ends up being the case when she's born (which hopefully won't be until June, as expected)!

I've had a strange stomach/back pain the last few days and my Dr is sending me to L&D

I assumed it was stretching pains or BH and tried to treat it with water and rest. Didn't work. Now she has me panicking about this dang kidney infection I can't get rid of and preterm labor. Ugh pregnancy is so scary sometimes. FX!!!!!

ETA to add a postive note...DH suprised me with a car seat, cosleeper, pack-n-play and blanket. It was the sweetest because I've been trying so hard to be patient and not buy anything until my shower. Well he wasn't so patient. I didn't expect it at all.

Best of luck! Praying that LO decides to wait for a few more months, but if he/she doesn't, then I hope everything goes smoothly and you and baby will both be healthy! And major props to your husband for being so thoughtful!

Baby flipped breech (AGAIN for the millionth time) and is murdering my cervix/bladder/trying to kick my butthole out of my body. I swear...every time it flips back I savor the few days of belly kicks I get without torture.

thedo · March 2015

My baby feels so much bigger than my first did at this point ... Ouch!

ngaines27 · March 2015

@klkonwi and @devyns2nd Please keep us posted!! Thoughts and prayers for you both!

Didn't see this til now - trust your mom brain! But I'm praying that your nurse brain ends up being right this time around

keep us posted!

Bahaha, this cracked me up!! I experience this from time to time myself-the baby literally kicks my ass, too (really my colon, lol). My husband and I think it's absolutely hilarious.

HoosOnFirst · March 2015

Pretty sure I had my first Braxton hicks contractions today. They aren't particularly fun, eh? Also I've been losing my voice since January and now thinking it might be pregnancy related. Is that a thing?

KaLikeAWind · March 2015

Really tired today after staying up late to watch the Northern Lights last night. Then I woken up early by my cat pulling an exorcist barf maneuver - I barely got him moved to the side of the bed, otherwise that would have been all over my pillows, yuk. So anyway, bed late, early morning wake up barf followed by impromptu carpet cleaning and then my normal day stuff... Just tired.
I did get to see the Northern Lights, tho, and that was a bucket list item, so the lack of sleep is worth it. I also saw an owl fly over, which is supposed to symbolize transitions or change - gee, ya think?

rklinge0 · March 2015

Not exactly pregnancy symptoms but caused by maternity care. I got my t dap shot today and I am usually not a baby about shots but holy crap it hurts so bad on my upper arm.

klkonwi · March 2015

Ahhh! Went to the Dr. My blood pressure is elevated. Not cool. Drew labs and we will watch it closely. Glad I did go in and wasn't just being crazy. My stomach pain could be anything, baby being breech and pushing his head right up there...... Or who knows.

KaLikeAWind · March 2015

@klkonwi glad you went with mom instinct and had it checked. Wishing you well...

josiegirl12 · March 2015

Having a really uncomfortable achiness/pain under my left boob in my rib. It makes it hard to just sit and relax because it feels worse when I sit down, or lay down. If I switch sides while laying down, it will start to hurt under my right boob. It's such and uncomfortable pain. Anyone else experiencing this?

alsier · March 2015

Two pink ovals under each boob. They are flat and don't itch.

Yup, so uncomfortable. It really hurts while driving. I have to keep getting up ftom my dedk all day during work too to try to stretch it out but that only temporarily helps.

josiegirl12 · March 2015

@LaurenS119 do you know what causes that feeling? Is it just things stretching?

What the heck is wrong with our cats? Mine always barfs on something soft, being whatever piece of clothing I left on the ground. And only ever at 3/4 am. Not helping my pregnancy insomnia!

Its either that, or on the floor right where you're gonna step in it barefoot during a 2am pee break

Edited, spelling

Try drinking grape juice, I've read/done it myself when others are sick but apparently the acid coats your intestines and the stomach bug won't stick. Always worth a try

this only works if you haven't gotten the bug yet...if you do have the bug you don't want to drink grape juice because it will just upset your stomach more.
