I have Heartburn!

ChristinaAnneW · August 2015

I haven't experienced heartburn yet but I thinks it's just been going the other way... GAS GAS GAS! Yesterday was awful I went for a walk which just made it spread through my whole bloated stomach! And not to be disgusting but when it exits you can't hide it! All I wanted was to feel my little one, all I've been feeling is a whole lot of gas

ariasbabyblog · August 2015

I hear you on the gas, I've got tons of gas, almost all of it burping. I've got tons of vicious heartburn too which may or may not actually be heartburn, but bile burn (I just got my gall bladder out). I'm going to have to chat with my doctor about that one. Some back pain, but nothing intolerable yet and thankfully my doctors are awesome and will refer me to a massage therapist when it is bad. Other than that, I am COLD. I'm usually fairly cold, but right now it was 87 degrees outside yesterday and I was wearing a sweater.

Anyone else been suffering with nonstop headaches? I think I'm going on like 8 days straight. It's just enough to throw me off...

Back pain too. I know it's common. Neither have me worried, just awfully uncomfortable.

My heartburn is so horrible! And tums make me nauseas.. My morning/all day sickness is still holding strong too! Basically I eat to stave off nausea but can't eat much to avoid heartburn. HELP!!!!

Yes! I had a horrible headache from Wed to Mon this past week. See if you can get in with a chiropractor and/or get a massage. That was what finally helped me.

OMG the back pain!! I cant even stand up and I am wondering how I am going to be able to work at 9 months, since I am only 14 + 6

Edited to change 4+6 to 14+6 lol

hailees · August 2015

@bdamico123 I've had this thought too- but I discovered that I'll have really bad back pain for a few days, then a few days of relief. I found that walking actually helps me. At first, my back would hurt after a walk, but I kept at it and now it doesn't hurt at all after walks!

Yes me.. Headaches all the time !!! Taking naps helps sometime ... although I still find it awkward to take a nap at work.. I usually ask a colleague to wake me up so that I don't end up zzzzzzing the whole day

Beverly0628 · August 2015

@bdamico123 Me too with the back pain! I'm also sweating the upcoming months when I know I'll be bigger. I'm only 18+5! It's not even muscular pain either. It's like, it's in my bones. I can even hear them cracking when I walk or get up! Anyone else? Or, is the pain just in your muscles? I try to be mindful of my posture, but I don't know if that's it. @hailees Admittedly, I haven't been exercising much lately. I need to get on that.

hailees · August 2015

@Beverly0628 yep- I agree it feels like it's in my bones! And don't mis understand.. I have not been working out much either LOL. I actually decided to start making an effort to walk more after the back pain started, based on what I read about it . My job (albeit part time) requires me to stand basically the entire time, so I've definitely been trying to be mindful of my posture too.

blue**eyes · August 2015

Anyone else still with random spotting? Just started randomly today. It's very light spotting and brown, not red, so I'm not overly concerned. I have my glucose test tomorrow so I'll definitely discuss with the doc. I guess I'm a little nervous because I was told that most spotting occurs during first trimester. Additionally the prior times were after sex or jumping out of bed too quickly. No strenuous activity of any sort going on this time.

Other than that? Occasional headaches and ridiculously frequent and bad nosebleeds.

failuretofly · August 2015

Feeling great overall today but lately I have been noticing some mild cramping. Like PMS cramps you get and think "hmm maybe I'll get my period today or tomorrow?". Nothing that interferes with daily life or distracts me but noticeable when I'm not doing anything. Wondering if maybe they could be early Braxton-Hicks? I've always been hyper aware of my body so maybe I am just noticing them earlier than most. I'm 14w6d and have been noticing them consistently for the past week or so.

bdamico123 · August 2015

Mine is all muscle related. I am overweight too so I am sure that has a lot to do with it.

skfg · August 2015

I have back pain too - intensified by laying on the uncomfortable tables at MFM this am. I have no appetite but I think that is more emotional than anything else. I keep getting glass is half empty news at appts and conflicting info from MFM and OB which is overwhelming.

shinyspade · August 2015

Other than needing to pee every three seconds... Heartburn, omg the pain is unreal!!

kayyyy13 · August 2015

Idk if I am experiencing BH contractions or what... It just started today where my belly randomly gets hard and tight for a few seconds. There is no rhyme or rhythm to when it happens nor any pain associated with it. It started at around 9 this morning and has happened like three times since.

I googled and read that they can start as early as 15 weeks and I am 16+2 today.

Other than that I finally slept through the night in the first time in forever last night! All thanks to my snoogle. Seriously should have ordered it sooner!!

I have too! Yesterday morning it was like an aching cervix, and then at night it felt almost like the muscles underneath my labia were swollen (sort of like when you have too much sex?! Lol sorry tmi!). I found that a soak in the bath (anti gravity effect) and putting feet up and laying down relieved this, so i guess its just die to all the pressure if bub!

babywells2016 · August 2015

I finally have more energy...yay!!! But gas and constipation suck.

cawalp · August 2015

Anybody else still ridiculously sick? I've been on Diclegis for 3 weeks now but the past couple days I'm still getting sick multiple times a day. It's getting pretty annoying and TMI salad is one the nastier things to come back up.
Also, I was sitting in the living with my hubby while he plays xbox, I had to run to the bathroom and when I come out he's saying something to his friend about doing badly so I'm like 'I'm so freaking sorry that YOU are having a bad day'. I just cannot handle him right now.

ETA: I'm 17+2 right now

hailees · August 2015

@cawalp I am 18+2 and I *think* my MS is finally tapering off. It's not fun! I totally agree on the salad. I pretty much stopped eating salad because I've thrown it up too many times :-q Hope you start feeling better soon!!

MollyA1011 · August 2015

I thought I was starting to perk up a bit, but I just feel incredibly lazy 24/7. I literally lay in my jammies all morning until afternoon. Then I seem to perk up a little bit. But I have been having headaches. I definitely can't complain because the first 6 weeks was by far the worst with all of the vomiting. My husband asks me how I'm doing and the best way to explain it is.... Well I don't feel bad but I just don't feel myself. Anyone else feel like that?? Just blah.

MollyA1011 · August 2015

Oh! And my hips have been so achy!

I feel the same way! He always asks what hurts, and I'm like nothing hurts, it just doesn't feel good. So glad I'm not the only one!

sunnydlight · August 2015

Still getting sick. Even through the meds they had me on. So I quit taking those after 3 weeks. Apparetly LO doesn't want me to eat till 12 or 1 but I throw up first thing in the morning and then anything I eat come right back up after 20 minutes. Then by the time I can keep anything down in so tired and dizzy a eat a cookie just so I can function long enough to eat real food.
I was having a rare good day Tuesday so hubby took me to breakfast around 9. Got home and breakfast was all over the driveway. Wasn't fun.

bella2210 · August 2015

@MollyA1011 I'm right there with you on not feeling like myself. The past two days I've been exhausted! I wake up and feel like I never slept and I barely make it until nighttime when I can go to bed again. I thought I was supposed to have more energy but I feel unbelievably drained. Is anyone else feeling this level of fatigue?

jrouge12 · August 2015

@nickicb7 Oh the heartburn! Doctor told me to take tums. They also recommended papaya enzymes or dried papaya. I haven't had much success with the papaya. I had to go begging for tums at work today. Anything working for you?
