Symptoms thread 3/13

babymamamegs · March 2016

Hey ladies! What your symptoms as this new week starts and how are you handling them?! I'm getting tingling in the tips of my fingers, only when I touch them though (weird!) And nausea if course! I'm super irritable, so lazy and tired constantly! I'm feeling so bad for my fiance. 7W1D today!

br0co1ii · March 2016

@babymamamegs my sister got really bad carpal tunnel during her pregnancy. Both hands! She couldn't write or open anything by the end. Hope that's not what happening to you!

PatriciaRoberta · March 2016

8W2D today- nauseous, food cravings/aversions, bloating, major light-headedness that food/water don't fix, exhaustion, crying over everything (happy or sad), sore nipples...

mrszoess · March 2016

I am the most tired I've ever been; and so bloated and "full". ughhhh. oh and I'm super cranky as hell. I must be a joy.

MRSCORKER · March 2016

I'm having these weird pulling pains when I stand up. It feels like someone is tugging on my uterus. Not very comfortable!

srcr2011 · March 2016

Nausea kicked in this week, exhausted, but it could be because I have 2 other kids. Bloated, really irritable, lightheaded, dizzy, and crying. I'm only 8 weeks.

Pupatella · March 2016

Exhaustion, nausea, food aversions, minor cramps, and major bloating.

I'm just sleeping as much as I can, drinking ginger ale, and eating what doesn't make me nauseous.

I can't wait until the first trimester is over!!

F47 · March 2016

So bloated and tired. My nausea was out of control the last few weeks. I was losing one or two meals a day. I bought some sea bands on Friday, and shockingly I've felt a lot better since. So, that's lucky, although I still can't believe it.

Now, if only I had the energy to properly care for my toddler! Luckily, my husband has been picking up the slack.

abuck83 · March 2016

Tired, a lot, from nothing. Everything I eat makes me feel full, forever. Burping from everything. Think my whole digestive track is running slow, if you know what I mean. Sore breasts, wearing a sports bra at night helps though. I feel like it's not as bad as it could be though. Bloated and belching beats nauseous and puking.

CopperBoom86 · March 2016

I'm closing in on 9w and I'm still doing pretty great. Lots of round ligament pain, some mild cramping, mild fatigue, and still very sore bewbs.

I'm thinking I might be one of the lucky ones who doesn't get morning sickness and now that we've heard the heart beat and seen our healthy little nugget, I'm totally okay with that!

Still feeling nauseous! I had really bad carpal tunnel with my first child. It got better, but never went away fully.

sjo_thetwins · March 2016

8+1 today. Sinus infection, that if anyone can help me with, needs some sort of remedy. I only have a few days of antibiotics left and it's basically still the same as when I went in. Help?

nausea every afternoon or if I'm hungry, boobs are much less sore but still huge (I have already gone up a cup size), and I'm not tired all day anymore - just after lunch. It's just this sinus infection - mainly a couch and drainage in my throat/chest. Any recommendations are so welcome.

jillianpardo · March 2016

so bloated, nauseous, exhausted, dizzy sometimes, crampy, and so so clumsy. I threw plates on the floor attempting to put them on the kitchen counter. my husband raced in to see what was going on. I've been tripping on air everywhere. I'm typically very graceful and light on my feet.

ByeBabyBunting · March 2016

The unisom / B6 combo is really helping my nausea and I'm feeling a lot better this weekend

br0co1ii · March 2016

So before pregnancy, I used to have crazy, vivid dreams. Now, it's like they're gone. I get one here and there, but not like before. So maybe that's a symptom for me. Hopefully the Charley horses I used to get all the time will stay away too! Fingers crossed!

klv · March 2016

Tired! I am so tired. And the round ligament pain. That's annoying.

mrszoess · March 2016

@samijrichards I had one around 5w. keep hydrated, use saline nose spray and irrigation stuff and Flonase. I also used Vicks on my feet chest and cheekbones which made it feel better. just hydrate and blow your nose

LizaKate1213 · March 2016

@samijrichards sounds like it could be a viral sinus infection. No amount of antibiotics will help with that. I highly recommend a NeilMed sinus rinse kit. Works wonders. It's a little weird at first but the benefits are so amazing.

seadana · March 2016

Round ligament pain, uterus expanding/cramping, and fatigue! I took two naps on car rides today (and I'm not usually the napping sort). My 4-year-old said "mama... You're taking TWO naps?! Whaaaat?"

Uhg! That's what I read :-( I sure hope not, I'm hoping it's just some weird tingling that comes and goes because I'm pregnant! Lol, some random things happen, making me feel super weird lol I'm like "hmm, never felt that before" and I blame it on just being pregnant on general. Because there are a lot of unexplained things and I just have to keep myself calm because that combined with bad anxiety just isn't the greatest mixture! :-( I'm hoping the anxiety stays away though, been getting better, learning how to cope with it better and realize what is anxiety and what is not, although sometimes I just can't help it. I just keep reminding myself of how worth it that it's going to be and how excited I really am to have this baby, thank goodness I have this group of women and my fiance to help me through every step, you ladies are truly wonderful!

nsquaredlife13 · March 2016

I'm breaking out like crazy. I NEVER break out (not even when I was younger) so this is driving me nuts because I don't really know how to "attack" so to speak. Lately I've also been falling asleep with my LO. His bedtime is 7-730. SOMETIMES I'll stay up late... like until 9PM. I don't even know how I'm functioning right now because it's 10PM.

TurtleMomma · March 2016

Massively nauseous and tired. And the nipple aversion from nursing DS is getting real.

Blonde1817 · March 2016

@nsquaredlife13 My skin is doing the same thing! I've always had drier skin and acne has never really been much of a problem, even as a teen. Now I have tiny zits all over my forehead, ugh! Most of them are pretty subtle but a few are starting to get red. I think I'll have to start washing my face more often instead of just using makeup remover wipes.

Weirdly, my nausea has decreased lately but I'm experiencing way more cravings and aversions than I have in the past. The past few weeks I've just felt nauseous when hungry and happy to eat anything to make that nausea go away. Now things that I usually like (read: veggies and meat) don't sound very good and I've been craving plain things (read: carbs and dairy). I still try to sneak some veggies and protein into my meals, but mostly I'm just going with what sounds good. I try to just buy the best possible ingredients, so if I want nachos for lunch and mac and cheese for dinner, so be it!

lilylover27 · March 2016

I've noticed what I guess is veins on the bottom of my boobs? I read that the increased blood volume in pregnancy will be veins more noticeable but so far only on the bottoms of my boobs, either that or they are stretch marks from the growth. Didn't really have much of a chance to examine them this morning, haha. Anyone else having this?

LGW2015 · March 2016

@lilylover27 I noticed the other day a couple veins in my boobs were more noticeable and blue. I read the same thing, totally normal!

adnam08manda · March 2016

Good morning! I am 7 weeks and 1 day today and I didn't "feel" pregnant until last Wednesday when a little nausea began and I thought it was something I ate. Nope, as of today I have began dry heaving and feeling like I could vomit at any minute. What joy!
I just remind myself how many women would give anything to be in my situation but as of right now, it's hard to not be a total wimp. I have never handled nausea well and I'm a fan of "just throw up and feel better" but I know m/s is not the same as hangover/food poisoning/virus sickness because it's not going anywhere!
I feel I've tried everything I can think of so this Wednesday is our first prenatal appointment and I will be checking with my doctor on my options. I've heard good things about Diclegis and Zofran (but Zofran didn't help me with Norovirus last year so IDK).

Anyone finding any great remedies for morning sickness?

emmaaa · March 2016

I'm 10w 3d and my main complaint is hip pain. It has moved from almost feeling like it is lower back to the front of my hip now.

lilylover27 · March 2016

@LGW2015good to know someone else has it too! Thought it was too early but guess not, I will be 11 weeks tomorrow!

jatwal128 · March 2016

I'm 9wks and 2 days and it's just pure exhaustion. all the time. naps are a given on the weekends now. I also started spotting some brown discharge (sorry, gross i know). I of course freaked and call the dr, but she said it was very normal as long as it doesn't turn red and get heavy. It's very light and definitely brown, so i'm chalking it up to a new symptom this week. Also some new pain, i'm guessing round ligament pain. It's pretty dull, but definitely there. Still going to be anxious until our appointment next Monday.

sjo_thetwins · March 2016

Newest: I've got that hip/leg pain too! Does anyone else feel aches in their legs? My right thigh and hip are SO sore and the only thing that seems to relieve it is stretching. I don't know if it's pregnancy related, but if it is, I hope it's not a bad thing.

cd92007 · March 2016

still feeling very nauseous and only can stomach cheese/carbs/unhealthy food. And of course exhausted. So, so, soooo ready to start feeling better. Hopefully in a couple weeks please dear god!!

rebeccuh · March 2016

9w today and started it off with a puke fest bright and early this morning. Also terrible skin, almost all food sounds revolting, and I'm tired. This is the worst and I hate it. I hope once this trimester is done I never puke again for the rest of my life.

annabenanna · March 2016

@mrscorker, i felt that weird tugging all week last week. It has since stopped, but the other day I sneezed and felt a really painful tug! Of course I googled "what is round ligament pain? do you get round ligament pain when sneezing?" haha.

I'm 9 weeks and 3 days today and my nausea still comes and goes---but it wasn't as bad as early last week. I felt good Friday and Saturday, then Sunday I had nausea again. Acid reflux and heartburn are my complaints this week.... and I have also turned into a napping machine.

Kaessi · March 2016

On my two breaks at work (morning & afternoon), I usually walk around the building (about a mile) and then do a few light exercises in my office. I did this pre-BFP, and I've done it almost every day since BFP. Today, about 10 mnutes after I was done, I began to start shaking really bad & felt very weak. I immediatley ate some peanut butter & crackers, and am starting to feel better, so I'm guessing this was a blood sugar crash? I ate a normal breakfast, snacked on strawberries mid-morning, and didn't feel like I over-exerted myself, so not sure what was different about today? Now I'm a bit worried!

babymamamegs · March 2016

Being pregnant is: figuring out if that is chest pain or boob pain. Anyone else getting boob pain but feeling like it may be your heart? Uhg, anxiety! Lol

Firstmommy2016 · March 2016

I am 8 weeks and my new complaint is round ligament pain. I am also still dealing with major nausea. I never knew pregnancy was this hard!

kateleap · March 2016

I'm 11w tomorrow and just started experiencing round ligament pain in the last few days. Not exactly pleasant but I get weirdly excited about every new feeling/symptom! @Kaessi I'm obviously not a doctor but it sounds like low blood sugar--that said, sometimes I'm just finding myself really winded or wiped out at random from things that normally don't bother me. Extra blood, extra work for your heart! If it happens again though, I'd definitely call my OB, not out of concern but to see what they recommend to manage it going forward. @babymamamegs My boob pain is really distinct, but I've had vicious heartburn that definitely earns its name! Maybe tums would help you a little?

babymamamegs · March 2016

Anyone else experiencing these weird dull chest pains? Uhg, It's not heartburn but idk if it's indigestion or what. I always have chest pain and everytime I go to the er, they tell me that I've been there so much for the same thing and that my symptoms seem fine so I've stopped going because of the pains. Don't know what to do! Keep going in case something may be wrong or stay out until it gets bad enough I can't breathe or something!!

mrszoess · March 2016

I am incredibly itchy and idk why. there's nothing visible!

SuperNerd42 · March 2016

Hot flashes anyone else? Omg, I wake up sweaty all night.

Otherwise the usual suspects- nausea, exhaustion, intermittent heartburn and headaches, and some mood swings. It's such a beautiful process, lol

ladyshark311 · March 2016

@SuperNerd42 yes I've had many a morning where I wake up drenched! I feel hot ALL the time as well.

My main complaints just have to do with eating and my stomach. I usually have a stomach of steel and can eat anything. Now nothing seems at all appetizing and I go from feeling like my stomach is hollow and I'm ravenous then when I eat I feel awful and nauseous and bloated. I will be so happy for second trimester when it will even itself out a bit. I like food too much for this!! Lol The other complaint is sleep, I can't fall asleep at night then want to nap the day away and it's become a vicious cycle.
