I can't believe July is over already!

How is everyone today?

My headaches are back. They are super annoying, and I hate feeling like I need to take a Tylenol.

lmichele04 · August 2015

Headaches are coming and going too for me. Drink lots of water!!!

snharring · August 2015

14w2d feeling pretty good today. Getting out of my morning sickness and having more energy which is nice. Heading out for some family time with the hubby and little guy. But of course, the worry that the symptoms are gone is playing in the back of my mind

Myelhsa · August 2015

16+5 today and I'm feeling really skinny for the first time in 16w. It's freaking me out and making me want to buy an at home Doppler.

Gimme back my bump!

14w3d and the headaches come and go during the day. I usually wake up with one and then it subsides for awhile. I'm trying to drink as much water as possible. My appetite has also gone away, the constant hunger is gone. I'm just not as hungry anymore.

CaraBoonie · August 2015

14w1d and feeling fine! Trying to enjoy it instead of questioning it.

Tried on my bridesmaid dress for a wedding in 2 weeks and unless I magically pop before then I'm just gonna look like a bloated cow, sigh. Oh well.

Almost 19 weeks (on Tuesday) I really need to delete my ticker, my dates have changed. Sometimes esp yesterday I've been having pressure in my lower belly. Like he's sitting right on top of my cervix. I had no idea he was big enough to do that. If I lay down I can feel him shift, and it gets better but eff! I had to sit down! I don't feel pregnant anymore,but we did hear the heartbeat and that sounded great! Yay for no more sickness. Little worried sometimes about the pressure this early though.

bella2210 · August 2015

Feeling so nauseous today! I've been free of it most days since 14 weeks but today it's got me bed ridden. Same sore breasts, crazy dreams and growing bump. Not as emotional as I was a few weeks ago and have begun to get what feels like migraine headaches at night. I'll be in bed with a trash can today but hopefully you ladies have a wonderful day and hopefully mine will get better!

MaryR0715 · August 2015

Feeling off today, I am 17 weeks today and feel nothing. I had a loss in December and I can't help but be fearful. I'm considering going to buy a Doppler to ease these thoughts but I'm not sure if it is the best option. Can anyone give me a little reassurance?

hailees · August 2015

Hi @MaryR0715 ! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. While my experience isn't the exact same as yours, I can relate to feelings of restlessness in between doctors appointments. What eases my mind is just trying to trust the process & my doctor. Also, I try to think about being a mother and that no matter how much I try there will always be things far out of my control! Hope you find some comfort!!

hailees · August 2015

17+5... Didn't throw up again today! That's 2 days in a row! Cautiously optimism that this is the end of MS for me.

MaryR0715 · August 2015

@hailees thank you! I am trying to tell myself that what ever happens is not in my control and that as far as I know I am still pregnant today.

mommaSimpkin · August 2015

16 weeks, 5 days.
Last night my left boob had a weird pain that I haven't felt yet. It started at the top, kinda by my armpit, and moved slowly down to the nipple over time. I rubbed it and tried to get the aching to stop.
Finally I was able to sleep. This morning I'm sitting in the living room eating an apple and drinking water. My left boob starts leaking clearish fluid.
STM, I know it's my milk/colostrum. But like come on boobs.
It's too early for this.
I gotta worry about not peeing my pants AND not leaking through a shirt now. Ugh. Give me a break. :-t

duck_duck_goose · August 2015

I've got a rash in a few different places on my body. I'm a vet tech and we have seen our fair share of ringworm recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if my suppressed immune system decided to be a gem and not fight off the fungus, but it's not the traditional ring. Ugh who knows? I will call the doctor Monday is it keeps spreading.

msrere1985 · August 2015

Headaches since yesterday morning Tylenol helps a little but I notice pressure on the left side only when I hold me head down anyone else experience this?

FTM here. I so badly wanted to buy a Doppler, but had multiple STMs adamately suggest not getting one. They all said they are so reassuring, but it just takes that one time your LO shifts and you cannot detect the HB to throw you into turmoil. I know my mind enough to know that this would be my mental state and I wouldn't be able to "brush it off" until my next appointment.

I have a recording of my baby's HB on my phone taken from my last appointment. I listen to it daily to bring my mind peace.

essentialpeace · August 2015

I am a little concerned about my left hip pain/numbness. I've had sciatica in the past from an injury, but what I have now is excruciating. I am hoping LO is just hanging out on that side and will shift soon. I am petite (5ft tall) and I read on google this is common. Still kinda scary though. My leg gave out when I went to get in the shower. =\ I will definitely bring it up at my appointment.

Pressure in the back or front? I had it in the front and it was due to my sinuses.

In the front but only on the left side

That is how mine was! Mine was on the right. I thought it was a vision headache (I have poor eyesight in that eye). After a few days my right eye watered from the pressure I guess. I have a history of headaches only on one side or the other.

I used to get them in the back/side of my head a lot in college. My nurse practitioner diagnosed them as migraines. Cool dark room, ice pack, lemon water with a little pink sea salt, and sleep seemed to help me with those. For sinus headaches I use a netti pot.

WriterMama924 · August 2015

This is more of just a gripe than a concern. Ugh. Round ligament pain. I didn't have any noticeable ones with DS but this time it's pretty frequent and annoying. Makes me feel like just lying down all the time.

arose3eb · August 2015

The round ligament pain is a real kick in the crotch - literally. Super annoying bc anytime I feel it, it's sharp and sudden so I make a "ooh" sound or flinch a little, so whoever is around me does the "What's wrong?!" and it's embarrassing.
In positive news, I'm 100% certain I feel the little guy moving around in there (I'm 17+5). Wasn't so sure over the last week, but after inspecting diagrams of where my uterus is at this point, and I did some techniques today that u/s techs had me do to get the baby moving during a scan, and the taps were responsive to the pressing down and coughing and such, I'm convinced. I figured being a FTM I wouldn't feel anything for another couple of weeks.

I hope you ladies with headaches and nausea feel better! Try to stay hydrated!

17w5d

Cramping! Ugh. Anyone else? Also, I can't feel the hardness anymore. It makes me worried.

nickicb7 · August 2015

I noticed today my left boob is noticeably larger than my right. And it has little bumps on the nipple and slight colour changes. This freaks me out a bit. I know the size thing is, but are the bumps and colour normal?

I'm 18+1 and I've also had menstrual like cramps for the past few days on and off. I guess it's just things stretching. I also feel sore up and down my abs, like they are stretching too.

I also have recent noticeable bumps and color change on both nipples. I'm pretty sure that's normal too.

arose3eb · August 2015

@nickicb7 are the nipples getting a little darker? If so that's totally normal, it's from the hormones that also give us the linea nigra. The bumps on the areola are normal too!

nickicb7 · August 2015

Thanks @Beverly0628 and @arose3eb

scornwell717 · August 2015

I'm 18w and have barely gained any weight! I know I shouldn't complain, but they say you're supposed to gain around 5 lbs by the 2nd trimester so I'm wondering what's up. I've been eating normally but there's some days that I have to force food because I don't have an appetite.

KaraEpp16 · August 2015

I feel silly but I'm very excited because I felt definite baby movement last night. SO was sleeping so I just laid in bed smiling like a goon.

leap_frog · August 2015

14 weeks and hypoglycemic. (Diagnosed last week) I thought I had my blood sugar under control but it's all over the place today.

I feel gross. And my boobs hurt! I like em though. They're big!!

ChipMonster · August 2015

Ugh just noticed today that my nipples are indeed getting darker. I was hoping that I was getting away without national geographic boobs this time around! Nope!

hailees · August 2015

@KaraEpp16 seriously the BEST!!

CaraBoonie · August 2015

Painfully constipated while mini golfing down the shore. Sigh. Ouch.

mkatefin303 · August 2015

I don't usually read/post in the symptom thread so I'm sorry if a) this has been discussed to death or b) if its way gross and TMI

I have had serious uncomfortable itching in my lady parts for about a week. Anyone else experiencing this? Any good fixes? Not a fun experience!

MaryR0715 · August 2015

@mkatefin303 same thing!!! Ugh so itchy! Dr told me to get some monistat cream so far it's working. If it doesn't go away though I will be back on antibiotics for yeast infection. But yes been over a week for me. Coming up with covert ways of relieving the itch can get quite comical!

failuretofly · August 2015

I'm thankful for the disappearance of nausea and vomiting and the return of my appetite and energy. However, I cannot wait to get rid of this bloat! I am 14+2 and look 6 months! When will it end??

essentialpeace I had sciatica prior to pregnancy and since I've found it flaring up along with some SI joint pain. However, I find if I do a good workout with squats and other leg work it goes away and returns when I haven't worked out in a while.

ccoleeman · August 2015

Feeling ok, dizziness is easing up. 15w 3 d, just a lot of stretching and cramping as I grow. Newer developments are crazy increased discharge (felt like putting TMI but we're all way past that

) and having to pee all time-during the day. Getting thru the night without having to wake up and pee, yay! but am absolutely parched and dehydrated first thing in the morning and usually wake up extra early to get water.

Edit to add: not sure why it put a psychotic laughing smiley there. Its's just supposed to be a regular smiley!

arose3eb · August 2015

@CaraBoonie sending you some positive vibes! Hope you get things moving (although I have to admit your post made me giggle)

Knottie1428945922 · August 2015

I've been having really bad cramping, like menstrual cramps at first but recently moving up the abdomen, and lower back pain for several weeks! Doc hasn't been able to find anything wrong but it's debilitating sometimes.
