Good morning!!

How is everyone feeling today?

I thought I lucked out because I haven't felt terrible during my pregnancy (with the exception of a few days here and there). It seems like now, everything is hitting full force at 11w4d! I'm hoping everything still goes away here in a few weeks as I enter the second tri.

I had heartburn and nausea so bad, it actually woke me up in the middle of the night and haven't felt much better since then. Sipping my ginger tea and powerade hoping to get some relief

Hello! I am two days away from week 14 so the nausea is finally gone, but now the RLP is coming on strong! I got one of those snuggie pregnancy pillows and it has helped tremendously!

skschnake · August 2015

Hey Y'all, 13w4d here...A lot of the nausea has gone! woo hoo! Still have a day here and there but nothing like it was before. I feel like some of my other symptoms are tapering off as well. My boobs arent quite as sore as they use to be, but I am still tired! I go back to the doctor the 20th of this month. I have an option to have an U/S done and I think I will go ahead and let them do it so that I am able to see the baby and make sure everything is ok. If I wait I wont see him or her for another 4 weeks. I have two stepsons who dont know about the baby... We are thinking about telling them after this appointment. The older one has been asking for another sibling! ( sweet boy)

I'm feeling bloated and crampy and got sick this morning for the first time in weeks - really hoping that was just a random one time thing for the duration of this pregnancy! We have our 12 week appt. with another U/S today though so I can't really complain too much, so excited to see our little "plum" today and we also get our toddler back from his grandparents this evening so it's going to be a good day!

sbegnaud93 · August 2015

13w5d, had random morning sickness this morning haven't thrown up in almost a week. Other than that, just acne for the first time this pregnancy, I thought I had just lucked out in that department...NOPE! Past few weeks have been really nice except for the random sick days. Really looking forward to the rest of the 2nd trimester!

I'm 13w2d and fortunately, most of my symptoms are gone. I have 2 doses left of Diclegis, so we'll see if I can be off of it completely or have to get a refill. I am still SO exhausted, though! If I don't have any specific plans in the mornings, I sleep until almost 10:00am. I HATE doing that because I feel like I waste half of my day. I planned on taking my dog for a nice, long walk this morning, but my husband did that before he went to work. Needless to say, there went my motivation to get out of bed! Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment at 8:00am, so I'm going to have to get myself together much earlier than I'm used to. I'm a teacher, so I've been off since the middle of June. It's going to be a harsh reality check in a couple of weeks!

bredoll · August 2015

13w6d and the exhaustion still hasn't lifted. I just want to be able to get through a freaking day without wanting to fall over and nap. The "I just hit puberty" look that I'm rocking is quite amazing as well.

brushesnbrunch · August 2015

14 days today and so excited! I want a redo of the weekend though..having to wake up and go to work is for the birds!

purplepenguin3 · August 2015

13w today and i'm still tired. i thought i was getting a bit of energy back but it must have been a little thing. I'm starting to get more uncomfortable when i sleep. I'm a stomach sleeper and my hips are starting to hurt already

sad day. This is my 3rd though so i'm just assuming everything is going to start even earlier. I've also been having a lot more RL issues. welcome to the 2nd trimester

kirkie928 · August 2015

10 weeks and 5 days and the nausea has come to a stop!!! My doctor told me to take unisom at night and it has really helped!!! My biggest complaint right now is all the acne, it's everywhere. I'm serious....I have a zit on my toe!

MamaFroFro · August 2015

I'm so close to the second tri and the nausea is still here and just as bad as ever. So tired of feeling like I have an almost 11 week hangover!!!

bpsproule · August 2015

I'll be twelve weeks tomorrow, still hoping it's a magic day that will just make me feel so much better, but I doubt it! Lol atleast I'm realistic. Can't wait to just be less grumpy and snippy all the time this so isn't me! I do have a rather stupid question. I've seen on here that some people say week 12 starts second tri, and others say week 13. Any input on that?

kris10mac · August 2015

12wk2d and I actually craved a salad for lunch today!!!!

Praying these awful food aversions are subsiding some so I can back to healthier ways.

If you divide 40 weeks by 3 that's 13.33. So the transition is when you are your 14th week of pregnancy.

Shatzegirl · August 2015

I'm so tired and irritable today. Why does my son keep waking up at 5:30am!? I also feel like I can't catch my breath. I remember this happening way later last time.

CountryAir13 · August 2015

12w 5d. I've started to feel better over the past week or two. Nausea is gone but the acnee is in full force. Exhaustion May or may not be a combination of pregnacy and my toddler, who has decided he doesn't need hardly any sleep anymore. Ugh.

acuteangles · August 2015

If I had a dollar for every time I burped, this baby would pay for itself.

Knottie1428535830 · August 2015

13w 3d and starting to feel less nauseated. I have lost 20lbs from being so sick, so I'm hoping I can start feeling normal again soon. I am still pretty tired and I'm breaking out like crazy! I have had more zits in the past month than I did the entire time I was a teenager!

Kiek · August 2015

Other than the usual fatigue, I'm starting to feel a lot of pulling and stretching in my lowers abdominal muscles. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow and I know based on my first child, I'm getting ready to pop out soon

bpsproule · August 2015

@kris10mac thank you

Timmysgal02 · August 2015

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow, and I'm feeling pretty good! I actually mowed our grass today (it's close to an acre), and I was short of breath, but it gave me a lot of energy for the rest of the day! I hope it continues!!!

I came here to say the same thing. I get out of breath simply rising from sitting to standing. This is my 3rd baby and I don't remember it being this severe, although I know it has been there each time.

camusoh2011 · August 2015

I am 14 weeks tomorrow and feeling a little blah. I keep getting headaches and need new glasses. Food is a little easier these days so that's a plus.

Jellybelly119 · August 2015

I've been super crampy today. RLP, regular cramps, some gas pain (I think.) No bleeding or spotting but I can't help but worry. Thank goodness my NT scan is tomorrow, so I can get some peace of mind!

baby0708 · August 2015

13w6d here and still dealing with nausea off and on. Really hoping I'm not one of the lucky few that deals with it the whole pregnancy. Exhausted and the RLP has stepped up its game. On top of it all I have to get a root canal next Monday...I hate the dentist!

sbegnaud93 · August 2015

Thought I knew what RLP felt like, nope, found out today. I thought one of them was trying to break free of me. That's really what it felt like, haha.

cici613 · August 2015

12 weeks 1 day. Heartburn seemed to go away. However, gas came. Have to burp all the time and sometimes will vomit. Gas X doesn't work. Horrible.

agalvarado · August 2015

13w6d today. I have the worst headache of my life right now, Tylenol doesn't do crap to help it go away, I've been drinking 3L water a day and eating healthy. Maybe my eyesight is changing, I have no idea. I'm still exhausted all the time. I've never had a yeast infection until now. My doctor says it's because of the discharge. She prescribed a 7 week OTC treatment but I'm not sure the infection fully disappeared. Anyone have any tips on how to keep the area um fresh? Sorry, I have no experience on this!

I found a 10 min YouTube video on prenatal yoga that helped with my RLP IMMENSELY!! I don't know why it took me so long to try it!

Other than that, I went to Walmart yesterday and cried 4 times while I was there for the dumbest reasons! So emotional... I feel bad for others that have to deal with me

jellybellybean3 · August 2015

11 weeks 2 days and I think (fingers crossed) I'm getting some energy back. It's amazing.. Like coming out of a big fog. I've even made it past my lame 8:00-8:30pm bedtime I've acquired. Nausea still comes in waves but is also more manageable.

One bigger problem: after I eat I'm sooo uncomfortable and "fat". Like you know when you are 8 months pregnant and so uncomfortable you huff and puff every time you move or roll over? That's how uncomfortable I feel. I don't even think I'm over-eating. I better come up with a new game plan or diet or I'm going to be a useless blob in a few months. :-S

sausages1 · August 2015

I've not suffered with much nausea thankfully, but i have been knackered! I am still really tired and lacking in any kind of motivation. If left unattended on the settee for more than 5 minutes I inevitably fall asleep for a nana nap. It's crazy! Oh and the RLP!! Ouch! Then last night I couldn't burp. I took a couple of Rennies and paced about the room and when i finally did do one little pathetic burp ten, fifteen minutes later it was such sweet relief. The indigestion and heartburn is always really bad when i'm pregnant.

I know this isn't a pregnancy complaint, but I hate my job. It's so boring. I've been on holiday for two weeks and it's my first day back today. It's only part time two and a half days per week, but it SUCKS!! I left a super stressful, but challenging and fun job to be closer to home and it's boring. No one speaks to me, the work is dull as dishwater and I just hate it.

ohbaby714 · August 2015

Not a pregnancy symptom but these allergies are out of control!! I have sneezed what feels like 1000 times today and the itchy watery eyes and itchy throat needs to stop. I am absolutely miserable!!! Any one have any remedies that work for them?!

DizzyMom1 · August 2015

I am so dizzy and achey, and my headaches seem to come every day now. I think it's all due to low blood pressure, but I've never had it so bad! I'm going to ask about it at my appt next week, but until then I am just miserable
