I decided I would do a crockpot dinner tonight because I've been soooo tired. Well I've been stuck in the house all day smelling my dinner cook. Now that it's dinner time just the thought of eating it makes me sick
@SarahMConnors I had something similar to what you are describing about a year ago (wasn't pregnant) and to this day still don't know what caused it. I chalked it up to a pulled muscle or swollen rib. It went away after a few months. I would check with your doc if you are concerned. I know nothing can be ruled out with pregnancy but it doesn't sound related to me.
Does anyone notice themselves getting out of breath when talking? New this week for me is shortness of breath when trying to present or speak to clients on the phone. I also noticed my face getting red today after a meeting. Not sure if this is a concern for my blood pressure or if it is just nerves but it feels uncomfortable and I hope people aren't noticing! This has never happened before...

@blondie080300 I've noticed myself getting short of breath very quickly lately, it's really annoying. If I'm properly warmed up and working out, I'm fine, but if I randomly walk up a flight of stairs during the day, all bets are off.
I've also been hungry ALL THE TIME. Like I can't eat enough meals in the day -- I didn't think this was supposed to start so early? Especially when I work out, I become all of a sudden starving in the middle of a workout, stomach growling, fatigue, it's unreal.
The fatigue is real. I fell asleep in the break room at work yesterday, then went to bed 2 hours earlier than I normally do...I just can't be awake anymore! I WANT TO SLEEP FOREVER!!!
Also, I'd really like to poop like a normal human again
My OB told me that the shortness of breath was normal at my appointment on Monday. Progesterone causes less carbon dioxide in your blood so you breathe quicker / deeper or something to that effect.
Things that triggered MS this week: 1. Stepping outside into fresh air 2. Putting on a shirt with a higher collar that touched my neck 3. Thinking about grilled chicken 4. The dog passing gas
@lovelylauren86 that happened to me last Friday and it ruined my whole weekend. Then I had us Monday morning and everything was perfect. Try not to worry (I know it's easier said than done)
I am so cranky! I snapped at my husband last night because I wanted to share something I read in one of the baby books and he started laughing at me for some reason. I screamed "take me seriously dammit!" Then last night I woke up completely drenched in sweat – the bed was wet with it and I had to put a towel down before I could go back to sleep. This morning I am feeling kind of depressed and low-energy. Why does being pregnant sometimes feel like being a crazy person?!
@blondie080300- yes on the shortness of breath. I had it last pregnancy too - went for a run at just barely pregnant and was super short of breath.. didn't even know I was pregnant yet. This time I notice it all the time, taking a brisk walk, then it's hard to carry a normal conversation without feeling all breathy.
My blood pressure is naturally quite low and remained low throughout my first pregnancy and low so far with this one. My face often flushes red when I speak as though I'm embarrassed even when I'm not (annoying more than anything). Long story short - these symptoms aren't tied to high blood pressure for me, hopefully not for you either!
Thanks for the reassurance! @AnnaS930 My blood pressure is also super low. I had it taken today and it was 90 something over 60 something lol. Hooray for vegetarians/runners!! I feel better knowing it is just a normal pregnancy symptom.
