Re: Daily Symptoms, Questions and Concerns - Mon. July 27

  • I woke up with a main below my belly button. Not cramping and not really painful, just a pulling maybe.

  • I've also had a lot of pulling and stretching pains this past week. I'm 16 wks 1 day, and I'm starting to get more of a bump, so I figured that may be why. I didn't realize it would be down right painful!! Lol
  • Happy Monday! I'm 13w 2d. I actually feel great so far, I had a slight headache when I woke up and for the past couple days I've had some dizzy spells. But the MS has been for almost a whole week now!
  • 17w0d

    Yesterday my stomache started feeling sore/achey. This is the first time I've felt any pains so I'm gonna chalk it up to things stretching around.


  • If you haven't looked up round ligament pain yet do so. I experienced it first about a week ago and my doc confirmed it. I thought it was pretty interesting. Of course now that it shoots pain when I sneeze or laugh or cough it's a little annoying but besides that I know it means LO is growing so I have to too :)
  • Today I'm having a shooting pain in my right breast... Like a lightning bolt from my nipple down. Awesome.
  • Really dizzy and tired today. Shower and lots of water seemed to help some. Currently laying in bed.
    Started bleeding out of nowhere Friday night at 11 and it scared the crap out of us. Had a little fibrous tissue in it too, but no cramps or pain. Feel little flutters, almost like someone tickling in there. We hear inconsistent thumping/tapping with the stethoscope. Hubby's family is all doctors/pediatric nurses and aparently we're not crazy and can here it. I kept thinking it was probably weird gas. Haha.
  • Hives hives and more hives!! Covered from my scalp to my toenails! Any suggestions before I go get an injection of benadryl?

    Less drowsy antihistamines like loratadine and cetirizine are best, but also try menthol cream to cool and help the itching. Cold compresses help too. Are you suddenly getting sensitive skin to detergent or something?

  • I started with a constant sharp pain in my left upper quadrant yesterday. It is behind my ribs, feels like a pain in my diaphragm that kind of shoots around to my back and hurts when I breathe. I am thinking it is maybe constipation, a lot of poop plus a baby putting pressure on my insides. If It doesn't go away soon I think I will be calling my doctor!

    Still battling MS at week 15. Ugghhh. Just having an off day today just don't feel well and a little sad. Ready for the day to be over.
  • My doctor thinks I am not tolerating something that I had in the past, I have done benadryl and am using lotion while at work (I don't get drowsy) when I get home IM going to soak in an oatmeal bath.
  • I must have skipped the whole early movement, "flutters" stage, because in the last few days I've felt stronger movement, like a portion of my belly is shifting or rotating.  STM and the placenta is in front, so maybe that's why I didn't feel flutters.  Also, when I'm sitting straight up (like in my car, or my office chair) I get these weird feelings above my navel, like my belly is clenching down and then unclenching.  I think it's too high to be baby, but it's not painful I don't mind too much.

    Also, if you're already showing a bump try this: lie down on your back, observe the symmetric bump, then slowly roll onto your left side.  For me, it's like my avocado-sized baby just rolled all its weight to the left, and the bump looks and feels a lot more distinct.  Bonus points if LO moves a bit in protest :-)

  • Hey ladies, I am at the cottage now, until Friday. No wifi, and I have to be careful with my data, so I'll be logging on to do the daily post, but will probably be MIA for most of the week.

    Have a good week ladies! Be well!

  • Happy Monday ladies! I am 14w1d today.  I have had a lot of ligament pulling and twinges since Saturday.  I can def. tell that baby is growing in there, because I now have a noticeable bump and I'm starting to find pairs of pants that are just not cutting it anymore.  I am still sleepy and it's hit or miss.  Somedays I can not wait to nap, like today, and other days I have energy to make it through the day. Headaches, increased appetite and fuller/heavier boobs are a common symptom these days. 
  • 15w5d and having round ligament pain. I keep having to explain to people around me what it is because it stops me in my tracks and I let out a whimper. I keep getting headaches in the afternoon too.

    Happy Monday! I usually don't post on here, but today I am feeling particularly awful. All Morning I felt great. I'm 17 weeks today! On my drive home from work my belly got so upset. I'm still suffering from a lack of appetite and the oh so lovely constipation. It's so horrible... I lost 10 lbs in my first trimester and haven't gained anything back yet. I just want to feel better!!!

    15 w 1 d - my biggest complaint is back pain. I also still am extra emotional. Otherwise, things are status quo.
  • 15 weeks today and I am SO FREEKING TIRED.

    That is all.

    My gums just starting hurting the other day.
    I'm exhausted.
    My breasts continue to be extremely tender.
    Thankfully, my nausea has gone down a ton. :)
