Re: Friday symptoms
How are you feeling? Good. I've been feeling more nauseous in the morning and needing to snack on saltines at work. I feel like I'm constantly eating. My breasts are pretty sore and I'm tired all the time. Overall I feel good and don't have any real complaints. I'm still a functional human!
Doing anything baby related today? Thinking of calling my OB at my rash but I don't know if I should just ignore it for a little longer.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have this very small rash on the back of my arm (like quarter sized). I am probably thinking too much into it (as usual) but I've had a few doctors look at it and no one really knows what it is. Some say hives, fungal rash, eczema, a cold sore.....it makes me very hesitant to follow any sort of treatment because I don't want to put the baby/pregnancy at risk when I don't have a definitive diagnosis. I'm very frustrated. The infectious disease doctor where I work told me it might be a fungal rash and gave me the name of an ointment to put on it, but it's Category C and I'm worried about it. It's difficult to trust the opinions when they all differ so widely.
Questions?
How are you feeling? Nauseous. My boobs hurt and my nipples look weird.
Doing anything baby related today? My try to "trick" DH into looking at baby furniture tonight.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant - My first appointment is 12/21 and that's still really far away. I need a time machine. Rave/positive vibes for lemonade. I also picked up some YumEarth Organics candy drops in the "freshest fruit" flavors and they help my nausea. And I don't feel guilty since they're natural and no HFCS.
Questions? Anyone have good resources for learning about GD? I'm worried about it and would like learn, but don't really want to just do a random google search.

How are you feeling? Other than not sleeping - I am doing pretty great! I haven't been sleeping well because my stomach is always uncomfortably bloated at night, to the point that it hurts... I did switch to taking my PNV at night recently - but that has curbed my nauseousness during the day so I don't want to go back to the daytime... I am drinking around 80-90 ounces of water a day so I'm trying to flush my system of bloat but nothing is working!
Doing anything baby related today? I am telling a lot of my girlfriends at our annual Christmas get together tonight... I wanted to wait till 12 weeks but I won't see them all again before Christmas and I want to tell them in person so just praying and believing everything is going well in there!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've been feeling better & better as I approach 2nd tri, sending positive vibes to all of you ladies who are a few weeks behind - it gets better!!!
Questions? None today
How are you feeling? Good, gagged a little this morning, but I've felt pretty fine so far.
Doing anything baby related today? Not really, I bought baby clothes from Carter's over black Friday so I hope they come in today because I want to look at them. Everything is gender neutral, I just couldn't help myself and it makes me feel better with have no u/s and not having one until 20 weeks.

How are you feeling?
Very nauseous
Doing anything baby related today?
Nope!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
This whole non stop nausea thing is already getting old....
Questions?
How much tired is too much or normal?? I sleep 12h at night + I'm barely functional during the day. I feel like a lazy cow. I'm usually ok to run 1 errand and do 1 house chore + cooking and the rest of the day is taking rest time/nap on the couch.... I'm usually a very high level of energy person (DH called me energizer bunny)

How are you feeling?
Not too bad today. Although my nausea tends to get worse later in the evening, so we'll see....
Doing anything baby related today?
Telling the rest of the family! We have two nephews (3yr old and 7mo old) and we're giving them stickers to wear that say "I'm being promoted to big cousin." There's two people that are candidates for being pregnant so people will have to figure out who it is
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I seriously cannot eat certain healthy things and am having a very hard time eating anything that's not pretzels, potatoes or bread-like substances.
Questions? Anyone else having similar issues with food? I want to be giving my baby as many nutrients as possible but I just can't seem to be able to stomach it right now. My mom ate pretty much only pizza and Mexican food with me and I turned out fine, but it's still hard not to worry about the food you are getting.
How are you feeling? I was feeling fine until.. vagina boogers.. now MS has set in for the day. But I am more awake today after taking my promethazine which knocked me out last night, allowing me to get a good nights rest. I wake up so many times a night now.
Doing anything baby related today? No. We have an order due tomorrow for 30 cupcakes and a smash cake, so I will be doing that all night!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Positive vibes for any upcoming appointments! The bump wouldn't work on my phone all day yesterday and I wanted to scream at work for being so bored!
Questions? Nothing sounds remotely good to eat right now.. Anyone have ideas on good foods for baby and I that have very light tastes?

How are you feeling? Pretty good today. Still spotting...its been 3 weeks now. My breasts are sore and I started getting all of these red spots on them.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I lost about $200 at the casino last night. I definitely could have spent that money much better, but it was fun for the couple hours it lasted....whomp whomp
Questions? Anyone else having skin issues? My face has cleared up, but it's looking like I have pimples of the top of my breasts. It's super weird.
How are you feeling? Crazy tired. Food aversions have me eating like shit.
Doing anything baby related today? Yes! Telling the parents and ILs today. We're driving to tell them in person (4 hr drive). I'm just telling my stepmom and mom and stepdad, but we made cute frames for my ILs as this will be their first grandchild. As much as my ILs pester me about giving them grandkids, I hope they like our extra effort.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm hungry but all the food I see or think of wanting disgusts me.
@TbabyB the baby will take all the nutrients they need from your body. I started taking a calcium chew since I'm also lactose intolerant and don't get enough already and osteoporosis is a thing I'd rather not get later.
@addyplusone I've had a lot of baked potatoes (eat the skin) and brown rice and beans. My day usually includes toast and a little almond butter, bananas, granola, grits, chicken soup and rice. I can tell when I get low in iron because I'll random crave steak.
How are you feeling? Normal again. Peeing a lot, sleeping 9-10 hours a day, eating like a rabbit, but normal and functional so I officially have decided no more complaining!
Doing anything baby related today? Got the 10 week Ovia update
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave- dug deep for today's workout! 30 reps 75lbs squat clean, split jerk combo for the main WOD. I was cursing and on the verge of tears toward the end because I hit a wall around 25 reps, but pushed through and felt so proud not to have given up or given in. Rant- eating like a raw vegan has cured my nausea, but I'm dying with the huge drop in protein. Must find a way to get MORE plant-based protein! Positive vibes: to everyone today, especially if you're not feeling well. That was the hardest part. I hope everyone gets some relief soon- sending positive vibes out to the universe for this today.
Questions? nope
How are you feeling? Pretty queasy this morning. The worst thing to me is the pure exhaustion and how everything I do in the day is now 3x harder.
Doing anything baby related today? too early
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I wish my boss understood pregnancy makes you sick and tired. I'm a nanny to her twin boys but I am thinking she had one easy pregnancy. Every time I'm a little queasy she mentions how weird that is that the baby is putting me through the ringer and she doesn't get why I have to take a break during the day while I'm chasing the boys around 9 hrs straight, one is special needs and I have to carry him everywhere (he's only 25 lbs). She looks at me like I'm crazy. Nope, just exhausted from growing a little human. I'll only be working here through June, hoping I make it! She's driving me crazy lately!
Questions? Yes, actually. Anyone else been having some achiness in their pelvic bone area? I've heard it's likely due to the uterus stretching but man.... I hate it! It's on and off but was on during the night and kept me up for a while.
How are you feeling? Not as nauseous today so it's a nice reprieve. Heartburn is terrible though and I could fall asleep at any moment...so tired!
Anything baby related today? I was thinking more about names today and did some reading about circumcision if we have a boy.
Rants/raves/positive vibes: frustrated at work because I'm in charge of a few programs that are growing a lot over the next few years and we just got approval for 2 new implementation sites in September 2016. My boss doesn't know yet that I'm pregnant and will be on maternity leave then, so it's just hard because I don't want this progress to come to a halt since I work in a small office. On the flip side, my husband is just the greatest. He went out at 10pm last night to get me Italian ice because I was nauseous and feeling crappy. And he rubs my stomach and already talks to the baby. I know he/she can't hear him, but it still makes me melt!
Questions? Yes-interested to hear how others feel about circumcision if they have had or are having a boy??
Feel okay. A little gassy, quite exhausted, and my olfactory senses are working HARD for the money!
Rant: none. Rave: last night/this morning was the best sleep I've gotten in days! Positive vibes: I do not envy those of you suffering from all day nausea in the slightest, but I sure hope it gets better for you!
No questions today
How are you feeling? Just wretched. Threw up this morning after opening the fridge. It didn't even smell bad (rotten), it just smelled like food. My nose has been so sensitive lately that every smell puts me over the edge.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Trying not to puke.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm really trying to keep my eye on the prize. I feel like each week I feel more nauseated/sensitive to smells, but I'm hoping that it's just a good sign that my hormone levels are increasing and everything is going well with the baby.
Questions?
How are you feeling? Tired. So tired. And hungry.
Doing anything baby related today? Trying not to let my mom who is coming to visit know yet. We're telling on Christmas. It helps that DD is a distraction.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've had a little more energy lately to get a few things done, but today is all about sleep.
Questions? None at the moment.
How are you feeling? Good today, the nausea hasn't been as bad. Nights are bad though.. I always wake up with a terrible stomach ache which is usually me having to pee and gas.
Doing anything baby related today? Yesterday I found baby's heartbeat on my Doppler for the first time! It was very reassuring because my first ultrasound won't be until I'm 11 weeks. That's a long time to have any kind of confirmation!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nope!
Questions? Nope!
Married: May 16th 2015
How are you feeling? Scared. Was in the er yesterday for threatened miscarriage. The bleeding has stopped and saw the baby with an ultrasound and had heartbeat. On pelvic rest now and see doctor Tuesday. This is my first pregnancy and I'm just so scared.
Doing anything baby related today? Bed rest.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just thankful for another day I am still a mom.
Questions? None
5 wks 5 days
How are you feeling?
Hungry, and when I let myself go too long without eating I get nauseous. My food aversion to meat that I had with my other pregnancies is back, but now my options are more limited as my family is gluten free due to celiac diagnosises (sp?). My lunch today was vegetables and cheese lol
Doing anything baby related today?
Just letting it grow
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I wish I had one of those families that helped more. After each birth I never got any offers to babysit, meals dropped off, or offers to clean. im just thinking ahead that that will be the case again. Maybe this sounds whiny, but everyone else that I know has family that bends over backwards to help, we have lots nearby but never much help.
Questions?
How are you feeling? A little nauseous today. Nothing sounds or tastes good. And I'm so tired. I've never felt this kind of exhaustion!
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing today.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: TGIF! My only plan this weekend is to sleep, and it sounds so great!!! 2 hours left of work, and I am falling into a coma!
Questions? None.
How are you feeling? Was feeling good has my favorite lunch. Then it came out both ends. Favorite lunch has been ruined.
Doing anything baby related today? I begged the baby to make pain stop haha does that count? I rub my belly almost like Buddha thinking the baby can feel it
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I love this bmb!
Questions? Which is worse constipation or terrible burning diarrhea in your opinion?
How are you feeling? Nauseous all the time. I didn't have much morning sickness with my first two babies. This time around it's kicking my ass.
Doing anything baby related today? First appointment in two hours!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nervous/excited for my first appointment today. Totally over feeling sick 24/7
via GIPHY
How Are You Feeling? Major lower back pain today as well as continuous boob soreness mostly at night - started wearing a pullover bra and that seems to help. A little nausea but it passes quickly so I feel very lucky for that! Nothing quite sounds or tastes good today so I'm feeling more tired than I have been.
Doing Anything Baby Related Today? Made my 12 wk u/s appointment
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Loving peppermint stick/puffs and crystallized ginger for the nausea and happy that I can stomach most food right now. Except bananas - we aren't friends anymore. I'm really looking forward to our 8 week wellness appointment because after that we are going to tell our families!!!!
How far along are you? 6+1
How are you feeling? mildly crampy, very bloated, very thirsty, and very tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Not really
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I would really love to just crawl under this desk and take a nap. Unless I absolutely have to, I'm not getting up before 7:00 in the morning... so tired of alarm clocks going off at 5:00 A.M.!
NBR Rave: I love seeing my 4-H members getting involved with other community groups in addition to 4-H! One of my freshmen was out helping with a roadblock fundraiser in the square for the local Rotary Club.
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"

Doing anything baby related today: i bought first grandchild and fist great grandchild picture frames for my parents and grandparents. I haven't yet rold them so that will be their Xmas present!
Rants/Raves/etc. Heard my baby's heartbeat on Wednesday and am still riding high! Let the cat out of the bag at work today and am overwhelmed by how supportive everyone has been! Tonight I'm looking forward to eating BBq and watching Kung Fu movies because there are a glut of them on Netflix!
How are you feeling: I was pretty nauseous this morning/early afternoon whenever my stomach was too empty. Went through a short patch where I was constantly hungry. Now back to most foods not sounding appetizing at all. Counting down until I can hit this popsicle stand and start the weekend. I can barely keep my eyes open, and this afternoon has been DRAGGING!
Doing anything baby related today: Other than trying to go to bed at 6:45 tonight, no!
Rants/Raves/Positive Vibes: Wasn't nauseous for a majority of yesterday and didn't even let myself enjoy it because it made me nervous to not have symptoms.

RRS: exhausted , nauseated
How are you feeling: pregnancy-wise no major symptoms
Doing anything baby related today: nope
Rants/Raves/Positive Vibes: Need positive vibes for my sweet pup - she's 13 years old and isn't doing well. Vet isn't sure what's wrong other than that she's dehydrated and lethargic. DH and I are heartbroken.
How are you feeling? Today, I feel AWFUL. I've spent all day trying not to throw up and I couldn't wait to get home so I could get in bed.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, but my first appointment is one week from today!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant: my husband was off Wednesday and Thursday and didn't bother to take out the trash or the recycling either day. AND now they are both overfull and I don't want to mess with them... We may have a standoff, haha.
