I'm so exhausted all of a sudden... can barely drag myself out of bed in the mornings... no question, just venting

Mr0616 · October 2015

I woke up tired. Like I didn't just sleep 8 hours. Then I pouted to DH for 30 minutes about how tired I am. Can't take sick day, too many deadlines. So I'm sitting in my car outside of work trying not to cry that I have to be here for the next 9 hours.

mrsschmity · October 2015

I'll start by saying I'm 7w 4d and still have minimal symptoms.

This morning taking a shower felt like running a marathon though. I feel like the simplest activities take all of my energy to do. My workout last night was laughable, but at least I did something right? I really wish my appetite would come back. I miss the feeling of WANTING to eat. Last night nothing sounded good. Again. So I made an egg sandwich and didn't even finish it.

I feel your pain

Exhausted and tired is probably my biggest issue right now. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and got 8 hours of sleep. After waking up I felt like I hadn't slept at all. I also feel like I can't take any of my PTO because of my clients and their deadlines. I. AM. SO. TIRED.

Mr0616 · October 2015

@mrsschmity kudos to you for working out. I am getting winded way more than usual. The thought of working out makes me want to cry.

But seriously, damn clients and their deadlines. Don't they know we are growing a baby?!?

You don't even want to know what I have been eating. I eat super healthy most of the time. The thought of eggs and veggies disgusts me right now. Basically just can eat all the potatoes, as that is the only thing that sounds the least disgusting.

cmillar36 · October 2015

7 weeks today and this is the closest I've been to puking. Absolutely no desire to eat this morning.

NamelessAria · October 2015

5w, 1d here. I'm definitely relating to this being tired all the time thing. DH has been really pouty because normally I'd stay up with him at night and play video games with him. I've been calling it a night fairly early lately because sleeping just sounds so much better than anything else. DH was moping around last night like "you don't like to do things with me anymore

" and I'm like "no babe, it isn't that. But remember how you woke me up approximately 100 times last night because you were having leg cramps and couldn't sleep? And remember how I spent the whole day scrubbing toilets, mopping floors and vacuuming? Yeah, I'm absolutely exhausted. It isn't personal."

However, other than being tired I'm not really having much in the way of symptoms. I know it can be totally normal to not have symptoms but honestly it still worries me a bit. I think if I had some sore boobs or something typical of pregnancy I'd feel a tiny bit more confident that my hormones are doing what they're supposed to be doing to support a healthy pregnancy.

I'm also fairly certain I have a UTI but I have an appointment with my PCP today to get something for my asthma that's pregnancy safe. I guess I'll ask her to investigate this possible UTI while I'm there.

mrsschmity · October 2015

@KOR121 there are some days at work where I feel like I'm on the verge of losing it on all of my clients and co-workers. Some of the things they say or do make me so irritated. And then when the deadline gets missed, because of something the client did, I want to bang my head against the wall. And they don't even seem concerned about it.

As far as the eating goes - again, right there with ya. I normally pretty healthy most of the time, making sure to get enough protein, veggies, carbs, etc. But lately I pretty much just have to eat what I can. The few things that have been my go to food choices lately that don't make me cringe are string cheese and turkey/cheese/spinach wraps. Everything else is hit or miss.

crdo · October 2015

4w6d, so I wasn't really expecting much in the way of symptoms until later, but everyone's different I suppose.

I did a 30 minute, very gentle, prenatal yoga video yesterday. Just hanging out in warrior 1 had me panting....whaaa?

Sore nips showed up.

Also, scrambled eggs sounded good for breakfast. I ate them, and now I'm all

This may not bode well...

mrsschmity · October 2015

@crdo - All of that. Story. Of. My. Life.

Also, I've been wanting to get into doing some prenatal yoga, but don't want to go to an actual class. Any recommendations for a good home video?

LizM61409 · October 2015

I was wondering whether I could stop my b6 every morning bc I was feeling great with it.... accidentally forgot it this morning and felt kinda queasy. Thankfully I have an emergency stash in my purse so was able to take it just now. Will not try stopping for at least another week or two

At least we are all going through it together, right?!

I highly recommend the prenatal workouts from www.yogawithadriene.com (shop > prenatal). It's $37 for 3 30 min yoga videos, one for each trimester, 3 chat videos with her pregnant friend about pregnancy/yoga, and a .pdf of extras--all instant downloads.

Adriene is a yoga instructor from TX, and she's got an awesome approach to yoga--easy going. She's got other video packages for sale, but what got me hooked is her youtube channel (yogawithadriene) where she has over 100 free yoga videos ranging from 15 mins to 45 mins.

mrsschmity · October 2015

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation @crdo! I'll have to give those a try. And yes, I am thankful I have an awesome group of ladies to keep me sane, who are going through the same thing I am right now

You're welcome!

And amen to that, sista!

Meglit89 · October 2015

Well, I feel like pretty much all of my symptoms have faded away since Monday. The only thing I have left is slight sore boobs on the sides. I know symptoms come and go, but it still feels unsettling to go from constant thirst, fatigue, nausea when I don't eat, full on sore boobs, to nothing but sore boobs. >_<

I woke up energized and wide awake for the first time in weeks today. It feels so alien!

EDIT: 8w3d

Scout27 · October 2015

@crdo I love Yoga with Adriene! I did her 30 Days of Yoga challenge on YouTube earlier this year and it was great. I'll have to check out that prenatal package you mentioned...

As for my symptoms, I've only been out of bed for half an hour but I feel awful. Worst I've felt in days! Nauseous, exhausted, bloated, ugh. I'm really glad I decided to work from home today! And grateful I'm able to work from home occasionally.

ETA: I'm 6w5d

snowhite12 · October 2015

8w5d-Symptoms have subsided a bit, however, still nauseous in the morning, sore boobs, and fatigue.

Yes!! I did as well (though it took me longer than 30 days...oops), and loved it! She rocks.

brigham21 · October 2015

I'm 5w2d and last night I woke up with horrible cramps they went away and that was it then I woke up and had super light brown discharge. Totally freaked me out my doctor said it was fine and normal but I've been going to the bathroom to check every half hour! Other than that my boobs are still very sore and I'm getting more exhausted as the days go on. I take a nap after dinner then wake up for about an hour and half and back to bed. Still having light cramping which I've had since before I found out and hungry all day.

lm45678 · October 2015

6w4d-

So dang tired, thirsty and cold all the time.

No MS yet so I feel like I'm super lucky there.

@mrsschmity I wish I wasn't hungry!! Last night for dinner I ate movie theater popcorn and sour patch kids. I also discover Oreo thins yesterday which was a disaster.

My baby is the size of a sweet pea- Can I blame the hunger on them? Or am I just a fatass?

mrsschmity · October 2015

@laurenm2123 Dude, the lack of appetite sucks lol Because then when I really am hungry nothing sounds good. H keeps looking at me like I've lost my damn mind when he asks what I want to eat and I say "Nothing, i'm not really hungry right now"...he's so used to me eating all the food or announcing that I'm hungry every 5 seconds.

And I say yes, you can blame it on your sweet pea

You are not a fatass. I repeat, you are NOT a fatass.

meggyme · October 2015

6wks6days

My diarrhea has subsided. It was literally every time I went to the bathroom yesterday. So glad that's over for now. Feeling pretty good today, despite a couple cramps here and there and the insatiable appetite. I brought 5 different snacks to work with me today. I'll be surprised if no one notices how much I'm eating now. Luckily I work with mostly men who wouldn't think twice about it.

Tonight's date night so I hope this lack of extreme symptoms continues.

sorarose · October 2015

6w4d-I'm considering going out to get some B6. I tried it last pregnancy, but remember it didn't really do anything for me. Figured I should try with a different pregnancy though. Although I dry heave in the morning, my true MS is at night. I vomit what I eat for dinner and still feel gross.

My stomach always feels queasy now...I don't remember that last pregnancy. Last time, I would vomit, feel better, and go about my day. Not this time though. DH was a saint and let me nap after work tomorrow, but I just felt sicker when I woke up.

Finally (to end this rant), I started crying last night because it's just a rough time. Between never feeling good, DH working harder at home, and DS having a rough few days with waking up at night, we're falling apart.

:-<

CarlySuePhotos · October 2015

6w3d, puked 2 days ago. Had a better day yesterday and today awful. Puked, can't eat anything, tried 3 times, bad stretching pain and many attempts at working on the computer and needing to lay down. No time for this, so many clients waiting for photos.

goldie987 · October 2015

5w5d - yesterday was awful with nausea. Ended up craving chipotle of all things so DH was awesome and ran to get me some and I have felt amazing since then which is a bit concerning to be honest. While annoying, the nausea was reassuring. Still super fatigued, 9 hours of sleep last night and I'm still falling asleep. Boobs are also sore with itchy/warm to the touch nips which are really hard to itch discretely. Fun fun.

masimo9210 · October 2015

8wk3d - I haven't had too many symptoms except incredibly sore boobs, bloating, nausea, and FATIGUE. like. no. other. But today I feel like the world is ending. Already came into work late and I'm ready to leave. Can't we all just forget our clients and deadlines and stay in bed?!

mrsschmity · October 2015

Hugs to you @sorarose. Hang in there and be nice to yourself. Just remember this stage won't last forever. Lots of internet hugs and good thoughts coming your way.

bsumter0330 · October 2015

No matter what I eat, for the last week or so I've been unable to keep most meals down...got prescribed promethazine (pill) but I can only take at night bc it makes me drowsy. I was not this sick with DD I literally can't keep anything but toast down. I have ginger taffy, sour candy, tea, nothing seems to work...wasn't expecting to be this sick so soon...I'm either 8 weeks or 12 weeks...we won't find out until 11/9 I am kinda hoping I'm closer to T2 so this can be over!

Incandescent · October 2015

8 weeks 6 days I'm pretty tired, my boobs hurt, and waves of nausea, literally nothing sounds good to eat NOTHING. I'm really trying to keep protein in mind when I eat, but its so hard!! I had a half a bagel and some cream cheese, and I had to force myself to eat it $:\$

I've been have a lot of light cramping, I know I'm not supposed to be concerned about it, but its hard! No bleeding though! I think it's just my uterus growing bigger.

I ordered a Sonoline B fetal doppler yesterday, and it will be here this friday, Monday or Tuesday, sooooo excited! I'll let you guys know how it goes! Wish me luck

CocoaPuff818 · October 2015

8w3d - I'm always tired and could sleep all day and wake up and still be tired. I also have no appetite to eat. I am a person who loves food and nothing sounds good ever and I only eat because I know I should. I'm also trying to drink my water but again that is hard to get down these days.

I have big dreams of making something great for dinner thinking I'll eat it, for example I made a lasagna out of spinach and cheese ravioli. Sounds good, looked good ate one piece and I don't want anymore. I'm going to have to give most of it away to my brother and his family so it doesn't go to waste. DH can't eat it all. Another thing I do is I'll buy snacks and food at the grocery store because they sound good and I think that it will be a good snack to eat then I get home and don't want it.

laurenm2123 oreo thins are great! I enjoyed those before being pregnant.

chloe97 · October 2015

The worst thing about having a DD at the end of the month is that I read about everyone's symptoms and I start dreading the next few weeks! I'm 5 wks and 3 days, and beside for exhaustion and a touch of nausea here or there, I'm still feeling pretty good!

We leave for NYC in 2 weeks and I'm worried ms is going to hit then. I had terrible food poisoning in Amsterdam on our honeymoon and the smells walking through the city the day after made me so disgusted. Hopefully my pregnancy nose won't be as bad as my food poisoning nose!

ella26 · October 2015

Hang in there everyone with bad MS!!

I don't have bad MS so I count myself very lucky. I do get sick right after I eat I feel nauseous and can't stand the sight or smell of what I just ate....weird but it happens every time I eat and is getting progressively worse.

Other than that I feel like the walking dead I am so tired and I tend to get headaches at the end of the workday, this could be due to work being extra stressful and busy right now. Also I am moody and everyone makes me mad...also I am wicked bloated.

I sound like a joy to be around

is the pregnancy glow they talk about really just the rage behind the eyes?

BakerBird525 · October 2015

Haven't had any MS yet, but my waves of nausea are getting worse. At lunch today, I really though I was going to hurl and my cube is sooo far from the bathroom that I feel like I would just have to barf in my cube...but then everyone would hear....and then everyone else would start barfing...and then...that would be gross. lol. What do you all do? Has anyone barfed in their office/cube or are you able to make it to the bathroom? I was close to getting that feeling where your mouth starts to water excessively just before you barf (I used to have really terrible hangovers).

Today, I have a lot of that 'full' uterine feeling. Almost reminds of me of when I had an HSG, but not nearly that uncomfortable. Just feels full/twingy down there. Not quite crampy. Maybe I just need to poop...

Other than that, just super sore nips still and extremely tired no matter how much sleep I get. And no energy to workout or cook. I just want to eat fries all day. Please?

GoMommy · October 2015

Exhausted is an understatement. I am dizzy and nauseous off and on. Today my thighs hurt like thry sometimes do before my period which is making me worry alittle, but i think is normal. Bloated. Emotional heahaches too. I am 4 weeks 6 days today
And sore boobs and nipples. Forgot about that

vulpini · October 2015

I'm still having a strong aversion to beef. I got my blood test results back and my red blood cells and hemoglobin are on the low end of normal. During my last pregnancy I was a bit anemic but also having aversion to beef. You'd think I'd crave it for the iron.

lbridges27 · October 2015

I woke up at 2am last night with extreme nausea, threw up all night- literally, until 8am. I couldn't even keep down water. Almost passed out, felt dizzy & shaky. I've been achy all day today, and still feeling sick- I'm scared to eat anything. I've drank two big bottles of gatorade though. I am worried it's more than MS, I know flu season has already started and I haven't had my flu shot yet

I'll definitely be calling my doctor tomorrow.

mrsp2213 · October 2015

8w6d - boobs still hurt, i think i'm finally adjusting to this new level of exhaustion, constipation is still a literal pain in my a$$ and this week i have hit new emotional lows. i am crying daily and it's ridiculous. i cried in front of one of my male coworkers today which was just fabulous. this would normally call for a glass bottle of wine but arby's will have to do.
