Morning! Hope you had a great weekend!
11w1d crampy and exhausted, ms is gone!! Yay hope it stays away.
GTKY: Things they don't tell you about being pregnant:
-That I would wake up feeling like I did a triathlon randomly, muscle ache and everything!
Re: Daily Symptoms Check In June 22--all symptoms/questions/concerns post here!
GTKY: No one warned me about my shoes not fitting until they didn't anymore. Then people were like, "Oh yeaaaaaa, that happens". I cried. So many beautiful shoes that now make my feet look like overstuffed sausages. *weeps*
Married: 7.23.11
DD:10.17.12
EDD #2!:1.17.16
People don't tell you about: round ligament pain and that cramping is normal!!! I swear I read everything during the year it took me to actually get pregnant and I never read about those 2 symptoms!
SOOO beyond ready to start feeling somewhat like myself again. I put in my two weeks at my full time job, so I can rest & take better care of myself. I'm so exhausted, but I know it's very worth it!
GTKY. Already in maternity clothes, can't stand anything tight on my belly.
Mortified yest as needed to throw up half way through the first pee of the morning!
Cue quick stop and turn around but let's just say my stomach muscles won the fight over the lower ones and you can guess the rest! Wtf!
Only here do I feel comfortable enough to share such info!!!
I have my first trimester screening tomorrow am. I'm 32(almost 33) FTM with a cousin with Down syndrome so the NIT was suggested. Going through it just so we know what we're getting ourselves into.
What no one told me: discharge!!! Like crazy creamy CM. from what the dr said its all normal and I guess it has to do with the mucus plug, but feeling like you peed your pants all day is interesting.
-I can't poop, haven't pooped, and will never poop again but what's new
I was just gushing about how thankful that I've hardly experienced any nausea or MS...and then today I feel so sick
Still so exhausted. I haven't done anything yet today but lay in bed and think about getting up for food.
GTKY: nobody told me that when people do know they treat you like a fragile glass object. I got put on a 20 pd weight restriction, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything! Haha
GTKY: the bloat is real and I didn't expect it at all! I'm ready for a real baby bump instead of feeling like a beach ball of bloat and air
10w5d, feeling ok..well, better. Not as much nausea as long as I eat. Still have really strong food aversions. Cramping. Poop schedule is way off. So gassy. Gained 15 lbs. Haven't had energy for exercise, but energy level is rising.
Oh, and I'm freaking out because my mom and sisters keep telling me that I haven't hit the point where I get really sick yet. They all said around 12 weeks I'm going to be vomiting constantly. I don't know about that, but I hope it's not true. It is freaking me out and making me feel sick just thinking about it.
uhhhg.
11w, 2d. I'm not saying a word about my nausea. I don't have time to throw up today. Sciatic pain comes and goes. The exhaustion still hits at random times.
We've told all of our parents and siblings. My husband just needs to call his grandparents and aunt and uncle. I need to text my aunt, cousin, and uncle. I've told a few more friends. It's such a relief. It took my mom about 5 minutes to comprehend what we were telling her because we had her convinced we weren't having children. :-D
Things they don't tell you: How you might lose weight the first trimester. How sciatic pain can start when baby is the size of a lime. How gassy you can get. How cramping is normal.
GTKY: no one told me that my back and hips would hurt soooooo bad at only 12 weeks. Granted I walked for 7 hours straight during my serving shift but still. So painful!
Oh edit: also agree with a pp about the discharge. Holy crap!! I always run to the bathroom because it feels like a heavy period!
I caught some sort of stomach bug. How in the summer, I have no clue. I can't even tell what is preggo symptoms and what is stomach bug. Can't eat or drink and running to the bathroom every five minutes!! Took off from work, may have to again tomorrow. I can't even get out of bed. So odd that I've been sick twice since I got pregnant and hardly ever sick before that!
GTKY - That first tri is to prepare you for motherhood - frickin exhausted, feeling worn out and sickly, and barely hanging on some days. I forgot about these joys, what can I say?
No one told me to say goodbye to my favorite jeans so soon.
