Daily Symptoms Check In June 26--all symptoms/questions/concerns post here!

Good morning! Got some energy today :D It's FRIDAY!

Ravenously hungry as soon as I wake up (I had to eat strawberries while I was driving to work); crazy dizzy, heart palpitations and confused sometimes. I thought this was baby brain yesterday, but I read another mama say she had the same problem and it was because the baby was sitting on the vena cava? I think I'm too early for that (11w5d), but I'm going to ask my dr next week. The confusion is kind of scary and it's not making managerial decisions very easy :/ Otherwise over the moon to have gotten this far. After struggling with IF and being a PGAL, it was always my main goal to just BE pregnant. Now that this is "real" it's like I have to transition to knowing I will actually have a child. Of my very own. Not watching from the sidelines any more.

Anyway, how are you today? I hope you have a wonderful Friday & weekend <3

  • I woke up feeling like I chugged a bottle of vodka before bed last night.  I couldn't even talk to my husband I was so nauseous and tired. Basically just trying to put one foot in front of the other and get through this day.

    I know I need to eat something to try to help, so I will attempt a bagel shortly.  Countdown to the weekend! It is going to be rainy all weekend here in PA and I plan on spending the majority of it reading and watching HGTV on the couch.  Cannot wait.

  • I'm so sick. I have been living off flavorice, cough drops and Tylenol the past two days. Not sleeping well. I can't wait for this to end. I know this isn't a symptom but I figure if I'm going to complain about feeling like crap I might as well do it here. I literally cried yesterday because I was in so much pain. This better be over by Saturday because I have a wedding I have to go to.

    Started spitting yesterday and has been on and off since then. Of course I am thinking the worst, as you do. Every little twinge in my stomach makes me second guess a cramp or not. Some dizziness and fuzzy feeling in my ears as well, like I am about to faint. Didn't sleep well last night, could the spotting be from that?
  • Feeling okay this morning, just a little tired, but that could change as the day goes on, lol.

    Excited to be 9 weeks today and officially a fetus, huzzah, but extremely stressed that I have to wait 2 more weeks for my next ultrasound, I just want to check in on the little bean constantly to make sure it's okay! I can't wait to be bigger and have it start kicking and reassuring me it's okay in there!

    Telling our parents today, it will be nice to have the secret lifted a little bit :)

  • Woke up this morning with no nausea and no headache which was actually a good thing since I needed to have blood work done this morning and I couldn't eat or drink anything but water. 

    Finally feeling a little bit like a human again but I am not getting too excited since most of the posters say at about 10 weeks the symptoms come back with a vengeance. 

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!! 
  • Feeling good today, no nausea no headache just super hungry. However the very back of my bottom gum is hurting.... Pls don't be my wisdom teeth now!!!!!!!!!!!! Puhhhlease. We'll have a good Friday everyone 12w5d :)
  • @KaraEpp16 No more spotting! It's been over 2 weeks now *knock on wood* and I believe it's really over. Not that I don't check every time haha, but I'm breathing easy now <3

    Yay for hearing the heartbeat!!! My goodness that is such an awesome feeling :D:D Congrats!

    I dreamed about a little chucky girl a few nights ago :3 awww

  • 9w6d- Got out of bed, walked to the kitchen, then immediately turned around and ran to the bathroom.  Dry heaved for a while before I could eat a cracker, which cured me for the morning.  I finally went poop again and felt crampy afterwards.  This is really annoying... if I don't poop, I feel crampy.  If I do poop, I feel crampy.  Different kinds of crampy, but still I just want to feel fine! 

    Double digits tomorrow!

  • @Heron422 I am so relieved for you. Literally, just let out a sigh of relief. :D We shall see if our dreams are correct.
  • 9w2d I've been dealing with chest pains (which I have dealt with prior to pregnancy) and it's really making me anxious. The chest pain is accompanied by dizziness and shortness of breath. Also, my heart rate has been in the 50s. I read that during pregnancy your heart rate increases to keep up with excess blood flow. If anything, my heart rate is slowing down and it's scaring me that my heart is possibly struggling to keep up and might affect oxygen and blood flow to my baby. I'm only 24, so I know the likihood of me having heart disease is very low, but I'm considering seeing a cardiologists just to get checked out and ease my mind. Anyone else dealing with this?

  • 8w6d and feeling good. Of course I'm still super tired and hardly have the energy to do anything productive. This is my second pregnancy, with my first ending in a mc, so I am gladly taking whatever nasty symptoms come my way. Even the ms which comes and goes. There are days I am hugging the toilet bowl for a little bit, and other days where I'm just nauseous all day. My symptoms definitely seem to come and go. I'm ready for my next exam because I'm still nervous and hoping this pregnancy continues to go well.

    Went to the midwife because of my 4 weeks of spotting (which actually stopped the past couple days) but she couldn't find the heartbeat. Now I'm at the drop in lab to get blood work to check hCG levels, and will go again Monday. I'm 10w3d. I know this is normal, but tell me this is normal...
  • Concern of the day:

    I was prescribe Fluconazole aka Diflucan for a yeast infection. I asked the Dr. during the appointment if it was safe to take and her response was a sarcastic, " 'Cause I would give you something unsafe". Anyways, I didn't even question it. I dropped my prescription off at my pharmacy and when I went to pick it up an hour later the pharmacist said there was a problem processing my prescription. He said there was a cap on the amount of pills he could give me. She prescribed me 3- 150mg pills (one per day) and he could only give me 2- 150 pills. I thought that was weird, but again didn't think to much into it. When I got home I noticed each pill was packaged individually. The information on the box advertises the pill as a single dose pill to be taken only once. That is when I started really questioning it. I felt uneasy and did a quick internet search (as it was already after office hours) and found that it is a class C/D drug. A single dose of 150 shows no adverse affect in infants, but larger doses in studies show birth defects (If given in the first trimester). I called my Dr. and left a message with triage and will hopefully receive a call back soon. My sister, who is a nurse, also said it was unusual she prescribed me 3 one time doses to be taken consecutively, and odd she prescribed me this over Monistat. Any one else prescribed this and in what dosage?
  • 12w4d

    I wake up every day at 3:30am for about an hour with nausea and then I'm starving. I'm exhausted in the morning when my 2 year old gets up. None of that makes for a great combination.

    This is just ridiculous. It's also 100 degrees in south Florida and my daughter only wants to be outside. Definitely becoming easily dehydrated and that compounds the nausea.

    If my boobs would stop shooting lightening bolts randomly, that would be great.

  • I am 12weeks 3days (I think on the days part)
    The past two days I've had THE worst headache.
    Sleeping isn't helping.
    Today I have my headache, dizziness, and just feel like crap.
    I'm supposed to be at work in 52minutes and I'm debating on not going- I feel that bad.

    @abbi1995
    I am having the exact same problem. Mine have been bothering me on and off for about a year but never enough to send me to the dentist. And now I'm terrified they will try to come out at the exact moment I can't do anything about it!

    Besides that, my symptoms have actually been getting worse the past few days. 11w4d and just starting actually throwing up this week. The only good thing is for like an hour after, my stomach actually feels normal. Exhausted behind measure and severely slacking with household duties. M amazing husband has actually been cooking, which is a miracle.
    Most of all, I'm just really excited. Found out yesterday we are having a boy which is exactly what both of us wanted. Now I'm actually allowed to start buying things! So excited to see the little guy again, but it won't be until 20 week scan.
  • Officially have a fetus today! Exhausted as always. Had a job interview today (round 4!) and told them about the baby and they were nice, so I'm feeling pretty good. That plus the Supreme Court ruling means I can't even bemoan my symptoms too much, I'm just so happy!

  • 11w2d.
    3 days in a row, vomit free!!!! It was close this morning, but it didn't happen. I'm pretty shocked since I've been out of Diclegis for almost a week now, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! (Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself)
    I am starting to get more excited and anxious to start showing and feeling the baby move. I hope to start enjoying this pregnancy soon since it'll be my last.
  • @l4rk I'm thinking of you ♡ let us know as soon as you get results XOXO

  • @abbi1995 and @cawalp My teeth have been bothering me too. It really just started this morning. I still have my wisdom teeth and have never had any problems from them. But I think my tooth pain might be caused by my sinuses. I've read that pregnancy can cause your sinuses to get clogged/stopped up and start a sinus infection. I am going to start using a saline nose spray a few times a day. That usually helps clear it up any other time. Just a thought that it might not actually be your wisdom teeth, just pain from your sinuses.
  • cawalpcawalp member
    @Sahara26
    Your tooth pain might also be from inflamed gums, which is yet another symptom of pregnancy (yay). If it's localized to the back of your mouth, it's not wisdom teeth, so you shouldn't worry about that.

    I just recommended the saline spray on another post, it really works when you don't want to take medicine for just a stuffy nose.
  • @happyandhopeful3 don't worry I was sappy crying writing it myself lol... Hormones and happiness... Great recipe for water works!!!

    Thanks, @Heron422. My first round of bloodwork came back and HCG levels are 85k+ so this is a good start! Now I just have to see how Monday goes...

    On the plus side of all this, I'm pretending I'm British because checking HCG levels isn't something we normally do in Canada.

    So, exactly 10w today. Had my first appt with my NP. She just talked away and then did a pelvic exam. She isn't qualified on the ultrasound so she checked for the HB with the Doppler and found it, which was exciting. HB of 176. BUT I was really hoping for an ultrasound, which would have happened if she didn't find the HB. Apparently my uterus is measuring 11 weeks. So she easily found it, I know I shouldn't be complaining. Well I get the genetic testing done at 12w4d, so I suppose I will see the baby then.

    Edit: AND my blood pressure was 139/89. So now they're freaking out about that too! Ugh, I hope it goes back down.
  • I feel ya, 9 weeks and 2 days. Have to poop and got cramps, can't pool and got cramps. Get cramps at bed time and toss and turn all night.

    Oh and every time I eat salad, I puke!
