Daily Symptoms and Concerns - August 11

CaraBoonie · August 2015

Trying to keep the daily thread going! Post all symptoms, questions, concerns here to keep from flooding the board with individual posts

Today I am making friends with Benefiber, which I think says it all, haha.

We both had the same thought about the symptoms check-in, so I turned mine into a randoms thread.

Thanks for taking this on - I think it really does help to keep it all in one place.

I'm having a little nausea set-back today. Fortunately I'm working from home, so I'm hanging out in my pjs on my couch.

@kmcconnell22 I can't remember if I took my Diclegis before bed last night or not, so this may or may not be my first day without it, so fingers crossed it goes well either way, haha

Good luck @CaraBoonie I ran out of my prescription once and the next day I puked at work at 9 pm. Whoever invented diclegis truly loves pregnant women! Lol

Holy crap! I'm having that weird shooting/burning nipple pain that somebody was talking about a few weeks ago. OMG it's the worst. Not to mention, I keep grabbing my boob every time it shoots. This is going to be an awkward day.

@Grace213 I actually never threw up, just felt queasy, and by the time I had my first doctor's appointment and he offered the prescription I was feeling 90% better with that even, but I figured it couldn't hurt to take it to feel 100% (sorry if that sounded braggy, I have good genes with that, my mom never had real ms throughout 3 pregnancies either)...so far I'm okay today, so either way I think it'll be fine, I was weaning down to 1 a day anyway until this script ran out in a week or so

I take Diclegis, I have tried cutting back, but I still notice that have that terrible nasty taste in my mouth that still makes me feel sickly. I'm getting really depressed because I am tired of feeling like this. I'm praying this feeling will be over soon. The good news is I find out what Im having on August 31st! YAY

17W4D: Tired at night, but can't fall asleep for hours. Having what I'm guessing is the round ligament pains (just feels like I stretched my lower abdomen too much every once in awhile) and my bump is disappearing randomly...which of course makes me nervous. :-S

My bump also comes and goes! So weird. But yesterday I saw my midwife and got to hear the heartbeat, so everything is OK. I guess maybe baby just hides deeper some days? Try not to worry about it!

@caraboonie I'm with ya on the need for fiber lol. Made a smoothie with Chia seeds the other and finally cleared up a bit.
Was totally exhausted last night and went to bed early, slept like the dead and even got a couple extra hours but I'm STILL exhausted. I'm wondering if I got too much sleep? Waking up this morning felt like getting out of a coma. Still tired hours later. It's like first tri all over again!

Lots of cramping and stretching as the bump grows, other than that feeling ok!

For those of you experiencing constipation, Google "massage for constipation". My cousin who is a massage therapist taught me how to do this and it definitely seems to help. I've only dealt with one day of constipation so far and between massage and a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil in the toilet, I was able to get relief. Hopefully that helps! :-)

Just sneezed violently 5 times in a row and that damn round ligament is NOT happy, ouch!

My gag reflex is out of control! The sight of overripe bananas makes me gag and if I could give up brushing my teeth I would...gagging every time. Yikes.

CaraBoonie · August 2015

@TinyDancer51510 Holy Moly! Thank you! I tried the first video that comes up when you google it and within 5 minutes I was going! Not perfect, still more work to be done, lol, but definitely some relief!

ChristinaAnneW · August 2015

So, something new and trying not to get too worried....TMI warning- I noticed about three brownish specs about sand size in my discharge in my underwear. Then after wiping I noticed one more small spec. I am a little crampy, 19 weeks. Anyone have anything like this?

I totally get this too and always randomly! It's pretty annoying!!

So yesterday I had a checkup at 18 weeks and was telling the doctor about the ridiculous mucus in my throat and it makes me sick almost everyday (even on Diclegis) and she asked a few other things and ended up saying I have something that started with a T, I forgot because right after she said that I would most likely be dealing with the sickness the entire pregnancy. So I am trying to accept that.
On the plus side, my husband heard that and has been so nice. I wanted oreo ice cream cake really late last night and he promised to get it for me after work today
