Daily Symptoms, Questions and Concerns - July 22

nickicb7 · July 2015

If you are feeling some odd symptoms, have a question about something you're not sure of, or just concerned about some feelings you're having, this is the thread to share. Or if you just wanna check in and let us all know how you're doing!

So how is everyone today?

Happy Wednesday! I tried something new last night and didn't get up that 40th time to go to the bathroom. Well (TMI warning) it was the most yellow concentrated pee I have ever had, I almost thought it was blood it was so dark (still a little concerned.) Drinking lots of water and hoping I just was out of fluids! How are the other mama to bes?

I'd really like to see us all make an effort to post here with our symptoms and concerns more regularly, to encourage all posters to use this as a daily forum, rather than starting new feeds for things that this thread is meant for.

If used regularly it will stay closer to the top of the board, and thus will be easier to find.

Just an idea.

This happens to me as well... but I must be honest, I am not good at drinking all my water. I used to drink like crazy, but since being preggo, I have no desire for water. It's a struggle to drink a bottle a day!

I'm 13w4d and I'm definitely noticing a difference in the 2 trimester. I only woke up to pee once last night. Although my hips kill during the night. I bought a snoogle and it makes the pain 50% less. I still have my emotional moments we watched Tig last night on netflix and I was a goner. But overall I'm enjoying the 2 trimester way more then the first!

Anyone experiencing something similar to acne but different? My face has these red bumps all over it and they itch a little. I didn't have anything like this with my first and can't decide if it's pregnancy related or just my face? Ha! Anyone on a acne prescription while pregnant. I'll be checking in with my doc next week, just wanted to see if anyone has anything similar going on.

mommaSimpkin · July 2015

My right hip is in a lot of pain. Not my left. But my right. STM, and I completely forgot about the hip pain. [-(
Nausea is pretty much gone. (I barley had it this pregnancy. Thank god.) with my first pregnancy I had it my entire pregnancy.
I thought id be more energetic in the second trimester, but I feel way more tired than I did in the first.

kelnate22 · July 2015

Went in for my NT scan yesterday to be told baby was too big! Was told after three ultrasounds previously that I was 13 weeks 3 days when going in for NT scan, but this tech measured a week ahead at 14 weeks 3 days! I go back again Monday to see my doc to determine dates. I'd much rather be ahead for my own peace of mind.

Had this happen to me twice while peeing this pregnancy. Might sound lame, but it's a big deal to me. Pee just trickles out then a big gush of pee, then more trickling, then another big gush of pee. Something similar happened back in October right before my MMC so I wanted to see if any of you had experienced this before to help ease my mind.

Hope all of you are well, I'm feeling more confident to start to post on here regularly!

I started having some pretty intense cramping this morning but not spotting or anything. Really freaked me out but we heard the baby's heart beat on Monday and are going for a 3D/4D US today. Super excited to see our LO!

essentialpeace · July 2015

15w3d- I love the 2nd trimester. Almost everything has resolved except being tired and ITCHING everywhere. I feel like I haven't out lotion on in months. Quick google search says normal but geeeez.

steph_pegasus · July 2015

The only complaint I have right now is lack of appetite. Nothing sounds good, but if I don't eat enough I start feeling ill. It's obnoxious.

Have you tried heat on your hip? Also, while I am more energetic in the second trimester, I still feel lazy as all!

hailees · July 2015

16+2 and finally feeling myself after a long 7 weeks of MS. I puked once this week, but if that's all I'm totally ok with it! Definitely needing to eat often, hunger is not a good feeling!

CaraBoonie · July 2015

12w5d biggest symptom is still sleeping in until noon, but I refuse to adjust my sleep schedule until I HAVE to, lol. Having sinus issues still that are bugging my ears, but I'm trying to keep using saline spray and keep it at bay so it doesn't become an infection. My ENT didn't have an appointment available until Monday, so I'm trying to hold out until then if possible. But all of that is likely more allergy-related and has nothing to do with the pregnancy.

If I were you, I'd call my doc just to check in on this! Hopefully it is nothing but that is always the best peace of mind. Hope you find that all is well at your upcoming appointments!!

I hear you, I go from nothing to hungry in an instant and from hungry to starving shortly there after. I have no real desire for anything, but if I don't eat, starving turns into empty belly nausea.

Hmmm.. I haven't experienced that. If it's similar to acne (oily), you could try tea tree oil products. Works wonders on skin ailments of any kind.. Works by having an antiseptic and drying effect on skin. I find a face wash at my local health food store, you can also use the oil to spot treat blemishes. Might be worth looking into! Has worked better for DH than any acne treatment ever did.

12.5 today and came down with an awful awful head cold. I'm miserable and plan on spending the entire day in bed with my cough drops, since that's about the only thing we can take. Anybody have any suggestions about other cold remedies. My doc said it was fine to take mucinex, but it hasn't exactly kicked in yet lol

paigeyferd · July 2015

12w5d and my butt hurts haha. Well, actually right above my butt. It's really weird to be barely showing but still holding my back and waddling around like I'm 9 months pregnant. Tylenol and my heating pad have helped though!

@StephPegasus YES! If I don't eat I get sick, but I have to stand in front of my fridge for ten minutes deciding what I can eat that won't make me gag! But when I finally find something I eat so much of it

steph_pegasus · July 2015

@cawalp the only things that sound good are at the store.......

cawalp · July 2015

@StephPegasus Exactly! My DH is constantly asking why we go grocery shopping if I want to go get something else everyday! He doesn't understand the struggle.

anniyas · July 2015

I'm doing okay, overall.

Climbing the stairs to the bathroom is starting to hurt due to sciatica and I still feel like a whale with the bloat. But, 15 weeks today! 25 to go.

Blueyedsky · July 2015

Ordered wings and breadsticks for lunch... totally regret the purchase but not the deliciousness!! Pregnancy rhinitis is killing me.

shinyspade · July 2015

Having a rubbish nauseas day. Some days are better than others, the pills I'm taking are keeping vomit at bay but everything else still stands. Battling with an epic two day headache and exhaustion. I just woke up from a nap with a sore throat too. I'm having family drama which is driving me insane and am so behind with college work... But tomorrow I FINALLY get my scan at 13 weeks. I'm more nervous and scared than excited, just hoping everything is ok in there.

Sorry you're sick!! That is not fun. My favorite prego safe cold helper is kind of a simple one: warm water with lemon and optional honey. The lemon acts as an antiseptic and can help clear those germs from the back of your throat if your getting drainage. And the steam from the water is heaven to nasal passages. Hope you get better ASAP!

christianks104 · July 2015

@hailees ahhh! Thank you so much! I will def be trying that :-)

failuretofly · July 2015

Feeling pretty good today at 12w6d except for working nights last night then getting up early to try and revert back to a normal sleep schedule! We were bored at work last night and decided to play with the ultrasound machine and got to see LO doing some flips and see the heartbeat so that was fun!

mrockensock · July 2015

I think I'm also depressed today. Yesterday I had like manic energy and today I feel emotionally depleted. I'm also a therapist and wonder if I depleted my emotional resources yesterday. Strange to be so affected. This was definitely not the case pre preg.

christianks104 · July 2015

@kvacmak you're braver than I am! I haven't even been brave enough to use the doppler or the ultrasound at work bc I don't want to freak myself out. Also two of my closest friends at work are struggling with fertility and I haven't told them I'm pregnant yet. I totally can relate to no energy working nights! Hope you can get some rest and get back to feeling normal!

MissMheMhe · July 2015

15w3d and heartburn has hit full force! It doesn't matter what I eat or drink. I was popping peppermints all day trying to quell the burn, which worked temporarily, but it always comes back!

skfg · July 2015

14w3d - first OB appt since diagnosis. Appt was ok, discussed potential other risks and right now too early to know if they are present.

@StephPegasus - did you find the papaya pills? @shinyspade - right there w/you on school work. Exams on 3 weeks and my head is not in it. @christianks104 - colds while pregnant and in the summer stink! Have you tried emergencee? It is high dose vitamin c and electrolytes that you dissolve in water. When sick I take it a few times a day and it helps remove the cold from my system? @essentialpeace - have you tried Burt's Bees Mama Bees body oil? I used it last pregnancy after I showered followed by lotion and it was helpful.

steph_pegasus · July 2015

@skfg caught. I haven't been able to find them in our regular store. Are they a specialty item? Or pretty widely available?

That sounds awesome. I usually use coconut oil, but I haven't bought any lately and tried just lotion. My skin is retaliating! Haha. I will have to look for that. I love their other products.

skfg · July 2015

@StephPegasus - a health food store, my local ones sell them. A regular drugstore doesn't carry them. If you are an Amazon shopper, I am sure they have it.

steph_pegasus · July 2015

@skfg duh, amazon. Okay thanks!

gelor0979 · July 2015

Flu and sneezing and dizziness.

shinyspade · July 2015

Brushing my teeth just made me throw up. I give up on today.

I had this with my first pregnancy. They are like cyst zits. Clear fluid and then itch like crazy. You have to wait for the sweet spot to pop them to get the fluid out and then I used a little toothpaste or acne spot cream to dry them out.

13.3
1. I am having the worst gas pains when I lay down at night. Never had that with #1 and it is killing me

2. DS has hand foot and mouth (a virus) and I am terrified I am going to get it. His ped said it was very unlikely I would, and if I did the risk to baby is very very small, but it is still freaking me out.
