Re: Tuesday Symptoms
How are you feeling? OK. I have this "off" feeling in my stomach and throat. I was just able to eat some cereal so hoping that stays down.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Getting my hair cut this morning for the first time in a year! Also discovered that drinking through I straw helps SO much with the nausea. No idea why, but it's working for me.
Questions (if any): None today
Married: October 2014
TTC #1 since September 2015
How are you feeling? so bloated today... had to pull out the bella band and do the rubberband on the button thing.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: So exhausted, I am dreading all the cooking I need to start doing tomorrow night since we are hosting Thanksgiving.
Questions (if any): none today
How are you feeling? Boobs are starting to get more tender, wouldn't call them sore unless I push on them. Queasy on and off and SOOOO moody and emotional. My fuse has shrunk and I cry at the drop of a hat.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: I'm not one to usually have a lot of symptoms, I get it from my mom who has four kids and never even had a sore boob or a run to the bathroom. That woman was made to have kids. The lack of symptoms is something that worries me even though I know it shouldn't, probably because my doctor tends to use the presence of symptoms to know how the pregnancy is doing this early on (that's the one thing I would change about him other than that he's a fantastic doctor) so when I pushed on my boob yesterday and it was actually a bit sore, I was pretty happy. I know, so weird.
Also. Officially less than a week until my 6 week viability scan. So nervous and anxious...
How are you feeling? just tired
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: RANT: DH will miss 1st Thanksgiving in our new house (he'll be out of town for a basketball tournament) RAVE: my mom is making the Thanksgiving turkey at my house. POSITIVE VIBES: to all the mamas experiencing something scary.
Questions (if any): I'm looking into these NIPT because they seem a heck of a lot more accurate than the NT scan... which I felt caused me a lot of undue worry in my 1st pregnancy. Does anyone have an opinion on the "brand"? My SIL used Harmony and they told her the sex of the baby wrong- they said boy and she's having a girl (I know, not the primary purpose of the screening). However, she said that could've been due to a vanishing twin... I wrestle with undergoing tests and being better informed/prepared vs. just being ignorant and not worrying about what the screening results are. If I do decide to go the testing route, I'd like feedback on the experience any of you have had!
How are you feeling? Really not bad. But that's now becoming a worry. I was so sick with my daughter and all of my symptoms smacked me in the face at 6 wks.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Rant: DH has just been a down right grouch the last few days. Raves : one more work day this week!
Questions (if any): nodda.

How are you feeling? Pretty good, was super tired and cranky yesterday but I slept a lot last night so hopefully today goes better.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Just reaching the end of the semester and I have been slacking and now things are catching up on me. I am in danger of failing pathophysiology (stupid nursing school and their 78%=pass), and I have a lot of projects and tests coming up. Need some motivation over this way!
Questions (if any): Can't think of any
BFP #2 3/21 EDD 11/28/16
How are you feeling? Very crampy today and getting a little worried about it
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes:
Rants: my DS decided this week to regress and has fallen out of the crib twice. Looks like we'll be transitioning to a big boy bed this weekend.
Positive vibes: hoping all the July mamas are feeling great for the holiday this week!
Questions (if any):
Anyone else a STM having more cramping this time around? Possibly after Csection?
How are you feeling? Today was a total coffee day. (I usually have tea)
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: DH should be glad I let him sleep in bed after last night (check out #whymypregnantselfiscrying)
How are you feeling? Like death! Currently laying on my bathroom floor in between vomit sessions while husband sleeps soundly.....
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Just make it stop!! I have a 4 hour car trip today which sounds freaking awful and another one tomorrow. Anyone else hate car travel. Positive I got a baby friendly car yesterday I mean it's old but 4 door instead of two so yay for more functional transportation!
Questions (if any): how many unisom and b6 do you ladies take as I am going as soon as I can stand to get it!
How are you feeling? Constipated (sorry, if that's TMI) and exhausted. I'm having the most vivid, weird dreams, and I wake up feeling like I've gotten no sleep whatsoever. Also, my feet hurt in the mornings like I was on them the whole day before, which is far from the truth.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: We scored an amazing deal on a buy it and sell it site last night for a beautiful crib and changing table. Only $75 for the set, and it looks exactly like the one I wanted that was $300 new. I'm very excited!
How are you feeling? Totally normal. Sore boobs though.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: I'm suddenly really not looking forward to all the extra appts and surgeries. But I suppose occasional feelings of terror are normal.
Questions (if any): None
Edit because words
4w6d
Symptoms: nothing really. I gained like 5 lbs do belly band and hair tie it is!
R/R/PV: I feel like my plate at work is overfilled. I'm starting to get cranky with people for no good reason.
How are you feeling? Feeling fine. My DH has said that recently I am either super nice to people or a super bitch. Normally I am neither nice nor too bitchy but he said that recently I've been extra friendly hah. Also, up until 2 nights ago I was sleeping so well and now I am worried that my restless nights have started. Otherwise, nausea has subsided, boobs aren't sore
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: I actually started a new pack of PNVs two days ago which happens to coincide with the first night in weeks where I couldn't sleep. I am going to try to switch it to the morning to see if that makes a difference for me. The thing is, the PNVs are the same brand I have been taking for 2 months. Might just be a coincidence but it doesn't hurt to try.
Questions (if any):
How are you feeling?: surprisingly great. Still slightly dizzy bi just want to be able to go to the bathroom. Yesterday was Metamucil not day is milk of magnesia. Just took some. Now I'm having hot water and going to try a quick run on my lunch break. Wish me luck and that is all!
@sarah2311 I didn't have a c section but I do have the same scar due to having the Mirena surgically removed. I have been super cramps as well. I have also read that after c section you may be crampier with second pregnancy.

How are you feeling? Bleh! Headaches, backache, nausea, tired. Migraine from Saturday is still lingering.
Rants/raves? I want to enjoy being pregnant so bad. It took us two years to get here but I feel so awful!
On a positive note I have my first Dr appt tomorrow. I know I won't get an US but I have my fingers crossed she puts the Doppler on me.
How are you feeling? Really good. I am super thirsty though.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Hearing my husband say he's excited to go to the heart beat scan in two more weeks makes me feel really good. We had an argument where I told him I didn't think he was attached to sea monkey as much as I was and blah blah blah. I'm glad to see he's being more forth coming with his feelings.
Questions (if any): Any else having little to no symptoms. I know I'm far in the game and that's a good sign but sometimes I just don't feel pregnant and other days I feel really pregnant. Stress man.

How are you feeling? the nausea has died down some which is nice, now I'm just tired all the time. I miss caffeine.
Rants/raves? We are hosting Thanksgiving, and the turkey I bought was two small cause now we have more people coming. DH gave me a hard time but then just bought a second turkey. He then brought home a trashy magazine to cheer me up, it had David Beckham on it, needless to say it worked. now we have 2 turkeys
Sooooooo nauseous. Had to call out of work. Not able to eat eggs
No one understands why I'm so nauseous so early
How are you feeling? Pretty good today, trying not to worry and be grateful, but feeling anxious.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Had insane horrible dreams last night. Woke up crying after a dream that I lost 20lbs and the birthing center wouldn't take me because they said I was starving my baby (I'm down 2lbs and obviously worried about it). Also I really really really just want to have my ultrasound already (not until 10w 6d). I feel like I'm a faker- what if the baby isn't okay in there and I'm just imaging all these symptoms?!
Questions (if any): Anyone else taking the train to crazy town today?
Somewhere around 7 weeks I think... Could be as much as 10 weeks. Find out today at sonogram!
How are you feeling?
So nauseous all the time and throwing up 4+ times a day. Haven't yet today though, woohoo!
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes:
Ultrasound today!!! Can't wait. Hoping DH can leave work early to come. If all goes well today we will tell extended family Thursday!
DHs sister found out from a random classmate of DHs, we hadn't told her because she could care less about being a part of our lives. She's probably pissed we didn't tell her. Oh well!
Questions (if any): I saw this question yesterday but didn't see many responses... Is anyone else having tons of discharge? I have a good amount of egg white-like discharge each time I go the bathroom.
@thebigoaktree I had little to no symptoms with any of my (3) pregnancies, except heartburn in 3rd tri.
How far along are you? 5w2d
How are you feeling? Good today, yesterday pants hurt so I had to change into maternity pants.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: mission 'transition toddler to her own room' is actually going well! In about 10 days we've gone from cosleeping BF all night to sleeping all night in her bed in her own room!
How are you feeling? Sore breasts and tired
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: I want to be at home curled up in a ball in my bed right now. I dealt with an atrocious stomach virus Sunday and yesterday, and while I'm no longer getting sick and I'm feeling stronger than I did yesterday, I still feel yucky.
Questions (if any):
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
Voted "Mom of the Year" 2012 Sweetpea Mom Awards
How are you feeling? Fine. Symptoms are coming and going. Last night my stomach was upset, but today I'm better so far.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: We're leaving to drive to my in-laws' in a couple hours. We'll see how I feel after 6 hours in the car. Also, we're going to tell them tomorrow, and I'm nervous about telling them this early, but we won't see them at Christmas, and DH wants to tell them in person, so, it makes sense. They've been hounding us about a grandchild for years, they will be so happy, I don't know why I'm nervous about it. @nolietrex I think I might be on that train to crazy town with you!
Questions (if any):
BFP #2 6.13.16

2) no appetite this morning... And I'll have decent energy and then boom, all gone. Otherwise, just spiffy!
3) excited for the holidays, DH's family is actually one of those kinds that actually love being around eachother and there is zero drama. I can't wait to see my BIL and his wife cause they are a blast. I'm baking all day tomorrow so I'll blast Christmas music and put on old Xmas movies. Thanksgiving will be fun but I'm gonna have to bite my tongue hard as we're not telling folks til Xmas. We go shopping on Black Friday which is a tradition and we all actually love going!
Questions: none right now!
How are you feeling? Fine. I could always use a nap, but that was the case even before pregnancy. I got a little nipple tenderness today! Woohoo!! (I NEVER feel ANYTHING in the boobs department, except the awesome wonder that is removing a bra.)
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Getting my second beta today! I´m excited.
Questions (if any): Nada.
How are you feeling? Exhausted, tired, sleepy... but otherwise good. Oh except the onset of severe irritability has kicked in and I have zero patience for just about anything or anyone
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Other than wishing my doctor wanted to see me somewhere before my second trimester...nope! *apt is 1/8/16 when I am literally a day shy of 13 wks!!! UGH

#2 - July 2016
How far along are you? 5w 5d
How are you feeling? Good. Yesterday I spent way too much time on pregnancy forums and convinced myself that my lack of symptoms was worrisome. I need a little break from the boards for a bit.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: still happily having no MS and naively thinking it will stay like this lol. Let me get through this holiday happily stuffing my face.
Questions (if any):
It's called hysterical pregnancy when it's all in your head and it is very convincing to people!
How far along are you? 8 weeks today
How are you feeling? Nauseous. No appetite. Tired in the evenings. Otherwise, I feel pretty good. Mild boob tenderness, not peeing anymore then usual, not fatigued during the day. If it wasn't for the nausea, I wouldn't notice I was pregnant.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Getting more anxious to be further along in the pregnancy. It's still a secret, so I look forward to when it's not a secret anymore and I can openly talk about it.
How are you feeling? Terrible - fighting the MS all day long. I've actually lost weight because I'm having so much trouble eating.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Hoping I feel ok on Thanksgiving.
DD #2: EDD July 2016
How are you feeling? Tired still, sore boobs, my temp goes up in the evenings to 99.5 ish which makes me useless. Still not very social but getting a little more so now that we saw the heartbeat. Feeling more upbeat. Bloat!!!
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes:
Rant- fall pests making their way into my home now that it's cold overnight
Raves- my kids were so much more thrilled about getting a sibling than I expected them to be, when we told them last night.
Questions (if any): why does my OB not offer anything besides the NT test? Not that anyone can answer that it's just so annoying. I'm 37 and want more options. Guess this belongs in rants
Now, by the end of my pregnancy, I was eating Tums like candy for constant heartburn. You might just get other symptoms later.
How are you feeling? Like hell. Alternating between throwing up and feeling like I need to be throwing up. Also last night I felt like my boobs were going to explode! It was rough. The constant bad taste in my mouth is throwing me through a loop. And I've developed an oral allergy to apples and almonds, which are two of the only foods I can stomach right now. Phew, it's a mess.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: I'm worried about feeling this terrible and making it through hosting Thanksgiving, but I'll have a lot of support and I've already asked my husband to handle the meat so that'll be something. I keep wondering if this pregnancy is all in my head, even though I have the full spectrum of symptoms! I'll feel better after we heart the heartbeat in a few weeks (now I just have to manage my anxiety about there not being a heartbeat).
Questions (if any): My midwife said I could continue progesterone cream just through 12 weeks or into my second semester, and that it was up to me. Any STM+s use progesterone cream into the 2nd trimester? I'm terrified of stopping too soon, but I've generally read that through 12 weeks is sufficient.
How are you feeling? So far so good. A little bloating here and there but nothing terrible.
Rants / Raves / Positive Vibes: Really enjoying how this is affecting DH. I knew he would be excited but never imagined it would be like this. He asks for the Ovia update every morning to see what is growing today and is just as antsy about my first appointment as I am (3 more weeks!). He's even telling me what I am and am not allowed to "feed his baby". To which I say, if soybean wants it, soybean will have it (even if it is actually what I want)!
Questions (if any): None
