As far as nursing bras, I went to Motherhood Maternity. At the store they went as big as 40 F (which is what I now need). I didn't really have the money to buy the expensive bras ($40 + depending on what you want) but I bought some for $20. So far they keep the girls corralled just like I need them to be lol. They have the hook on the top to unclip and pull the cup down for nursing. I really like them so far- the only con is they have the small straps on top so by the end of the day they are digging into my shoulders. However, once I get going with paychecks at my new job I will head to walmart and they have the bra strap pads to clip on the straps- they pad them and make them wider so they don't dig in. The pads are also interchangeable so I can take them off one and clip them onto another.
ETA: Right now Motherhood Maternity has a buy 3 get 1 free deal on their bras.
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
I am so utterly exhausted! I take B 12 to help with energy and I get enough sleep but I feel dead on my feet! I'm trying to keep my caffeine intake to a minimum but it's so hard when I feel like this all the time. Any advise on what to do or how to at least keep my spirits up? I'm crying all the time because I'm so tired!
I had some very light spotting (mostly brown, a tiny bit pink) yesterday. I'm not even sure if it's worth calling my OB about but I'm not sure what caused it. I had a cervical exam 5 days before which seems a bit long ago, and no intercourse since then. I'm at 10 weeks. I had an US at the end of 5 weeks and saw the baby; heard a heartbeat at the same time as the cervical exam last week. Would you ladies call or just wait? I haven't had any spotting today.

Brown typically indicates old blood, so that could be from your past exam or intercourse from days ago. I have a history of loss though, so if it were me I'd call, although the doctor will probably tell you it's nothing. Bright red blood is typically cause to be concerned.
FYI I am not a medical professional, this is just based upon my own personal experience.
Woke up and my boobs aren't sore at all. 9w5d. Now I'm panicking!!! That's literally the only symptom I've had besides fatigue. I had a MMC around this time in April so I'm terrified. I know everyone's pregnancy is different but I thought the sore bobs lasted throughout the first tri?! Anyone have any stories to make me feel better?!

When I had sore boobs in other pregnancies it would come and go with every hormone shift

If it makes you feel any better I've never gotten sore boobs (nipples, yes) in any of my pregnancy. I have to admit I am a member of the "itty bitty titty committee" though so I'm not sure that makes a difference. )

This time around I haven't. I think it's because I was already nursing when I got pregnant. The girls just get it already.

I had to go to the bathroom but someone unexpectedly showed up so I helped that person out, then went. I opened the door, sneezed, and felt it. This shouldn't be happening already!!!!

That's around the time my sore breasts disappeared too. The whole pregnancy I haven't had any morning sickness. Just fatigue that I can blame on my sleep schedule. But I heard a healthy heartbeat of 148 bbm around week 12. So don't worry! Just hang in there for your next appointment and voice whatever concerns you have to your dr.
These headaches are crazy y'all. Anyone find something that helps aside from medication? I'm already taking other medicine for nausea so I'd like to avoid more medicine unless I really need to.

Oh yes, I've learned to cross my legs when I sneeze. I also kind of hold my belly to ward off the round ligament pain that usually accompanies sneezing. Who knew something as mundane as sneezing could cause so much trouble!

YES - this sounds JUST like me so far! I don't wish the crazy symptoms on myself, but not having them freaks me out, too. Thanks for your input @thecubiclee!

Essential oils. One drop of peppermint and/or eucalyptus, mix with coconut oil, rub on affected area.

I think I over did it on my run yesterday morning. I've been exhausted since I ran and sleeping the whole day. I'd say it was just the exhaustion from being preggers but I slept most of yesterday, slept all night, and I'm somehow still sleepy... And now my hips are sore. They've never been sore before. Is 10weeks too soon for my ligaments to be softening up?

Not at all. Start using a body pillow when you sleep.

You lay on your side and put it in your knees and hug between your boobs. When your belly gets bigger, you can rest it on the pillow. I always find that propping my knees open helps a lot of that pain. There are also pregnancy pillows you can get.

I feel stupid typing this out and worrying over something so trivial. We just built our forever home and moved in over the weekend. It has this giant bathtub and I couldn't wait to fill it up and relax today after a long day. I lit some candles and got in and started the water. I sat up to turn the water off only to realize I was laying in a tub filled with yellow/brown water. It looked so dirty. I immediately hopped in the shower. I just hope I don't get any type of infection from the gross water.

Your post made me sad. I read it and I envied you, I wish I had a big tub.... then I got to the end and was heartbroken. I'd be so Fricken pissed. Hope everything is okay.

Ooh thanks for the reminder. We'll be doing the same come October. I would have never thought to run water through before taking a bath. I hope everything is ok.

I am feeling fine so far. Luckily I have an appointment tomorrow anyway so I will mention it. I called our constructon manager this morning and he said it can be normal with new plumbing and to let the water run and a little while and it should clear up. That initial moment of panic when I sat up was terrible though. I was pissed.

Besides feeling like I have a constant cold, my eyes have been SO dry and itchy the last few days. Not sure if it's a pregnancy symptom or allergies. Does anyone know if eye drops are safe to use? There is no mention of eye drops in the paperwork I got from my doctor. Has anyone else suffered from itchy eyes?
I am in 12 weeks 5 days . i have sore boobs gassy and burping. Thus just started 2 days ago. But im a first time mom i can feel little flutters without fartin is that the baby?? I also cant lay on my stomach its a instict not to. Heres my belly 9-11 weeks...also my belly button has been having small pains since 9 weeks I think? But can anyone see diffrence in my stomach?

With the fact that this is your 1st, it's probably mostly bloat (which yes, it is caused by baby so you can call it a bloat or showing that's all up to you imo). As far as you feeling baby or it just being gas, with my 1st I don't remember feeling baby for sure (without questioning if it was baby or not) until around 18 weeks. Congrats on your pregnancy

Having a little bit of a freak out! I had a 12 week checkup last Monday and everything was fine, but everyday of my pregnancy so far I've had non stop vomiting and super sore boobs everyday all day I felt sea sick. Then thurs night I had a touch of cramping nothing big no bleeding or spotting but the next day and everyday since I have felt fine! No vomiting not even a little sea sick to my stomach and my boobs are not really sore today. So naturally I'm freaking out that maybe something has happened to the baby the sickness sucked but it was a good way to know everything was ok with baby. Is there anyone else who had horrible symptoms that one day we're just gone. Please help put my mind at ease!!!!
