Is anyone else experiencing this?

TunieBee · April 2016

I seem to be having the strangest pregnancy symptoms. PLEASE HELP! Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms? I feel amazing, I have tons of energy, all I want to do is work-out, eat healthy and rub my husband's feet. I have developed unending patience for my toddler. On top of all that, I've never looked better in my whole life. My skin is glowing and my hair is shiny and bouncy! Is this NORMAL?

ahernandez16 · April 2016

That all sounds just like me!

Oh! And I've been having constant sex with my husband. At LEAST two times a day.

crdo · April 2016

Yes, AND zero constipation. Like, none.

DeePaddy24 · April 2016

Hahahahahaha! Yeah, totally me...my skin has never been smoother or more radiant, my back has never felt better, and I haven't found a single hair where it shouldn't be! Not to mention my mood & emotions have never been so stable!

ME TOO!
I'm so glad you started a thread for this!
MY hair, skin, and nails look amazing and it makes me so worried!! I don't have any stretch marks or acne, and my sh*t smells like cinnamon buns, do you think I should call my doctor???

^ all of the above, plus I can breathe soooo easily, I don't get winded going up the stairs, I have an amazing appetite and never feel uncomfortably full after eating 2 bites of food AND I sleep all night long in a peaceful slumber.

mamabird24 · April 2016

I was just saying how I felt like I was 18 again! So much energy and what a sex drive!

kwife15 · April 2016

Yeah and I've actually developed a six pack from working out all the time! Must be all the tots.

MeganF08 · April 2016

And let's not forget how all of my body hair has stopped growing, am I right y'all?

CourtJack · April 2016

I just feel REALLY really thin. I think my ass has actually shrunk and my thighs now have a gap. Is THIS normal?!

Was just about to add this! It's so nice to have a smooth belly and still be able to shave downstairs. It's totally NOT a jungle down there.

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

AND to be able to so easily cut my toenails, all while sipping a nice cold glass of wine.

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

Ohhhhh. We can't forget the non-hemorrhoids, along with the easy poopin'.

TNvols27 · April 2016

Y'all I don't have heartburn at all! I can eat whatever I want and lay down and nothing acidic comes back up! It's amazing

goldie987 · April 2016

I don't have super weird cravings for things that I never have craved before and I heard you're supposed to. Is that normal? And don't tell me to ask my doctor I need a non-professional opinion right.now.

Rosehip15 · April 2016

I'm amazed at how easy it is to get up off the floor.

And my house has never been cleaner.

Sydvicious08 · April 2016

Holy cow! Me too! I vacuumed my entire house without breaking a sweat and I sleep all night! No pee breaks, no waking up to turn over and I totally bounce out of bed every morning!

nightwitch · April 2016

I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but my memory has never been better! And I'm totally into spending hours a day on my hair, make up and ensemble. I DON'T look like one step away from a homeless person what with roots growing out and dry ends, waddling around work in sweatpants and a pair of New Balances with a hole in them.

alileecam · April 2016

My only weird craving? Pilates.
Weight gain? Who's keeping track? My doctor has given me nothing but compliments on my blossoming physique.
The baby never kicks me directly in my vag--he's already so obedient.
Oh, and I am in an amazing mood all the time and never want to throat-punch my perfect adoring husband!
And my three-year-old gets up at a reasonable hour, dresses himself in matching clothes and vacuums. His day care teacher says he's ready to enroll in college he's so mature.

I hear none of this is normal, so I am super worried. T&P plz!

Mr0616 · April 2016

Yeap this energy makes me feel like I'm on drugs!!!

Not to mention that I have EVERYTHING done for the baby and his room, AND all my bags are packed!!!

P.s I think he looks super cute here. Because my pregnancy hormones are off the charts!!!!

mar101483 · April 2016

No heart burn, daily Diarrhea mixed with bouts of constipation, I feel full of energy and life! Downtown has basically waxed itself, no acne and I feel so amazing. I am so skinny, I am worried, my doctor isn't, but maybe I should be!

I think you totally should! We've never met and I base it off nothing but yeah, you should totally be worried.

AmberLiz99 · April 2016

Oh yeah! And my back feels so good I could run a marathon. No sciatica or lower back pain. I could just stand all day and still feel amazing. What's with that?

kwife15 · April 2016

Wait, I thought you already ran three marathons @AmberLiz99

HBamama2B · April 2016

So I have been wearing heels and tight dresses every day to work (higher heels for dinner out of course). I don't know why, but my back never ever hurts and my hips feel great! I wake up early every morning to do my hair and make up (in heels of course), and get all these compliments. But my pregnant coworker looks so exhausted and has really swollen ankles even though she wears orthodox shoes. I'm so worried. What if something's wrong?! What could be causing me not to swell? I feel scared that my dainty ankles and pain free arch mean I'm not doing this right even though the doctor says I'm the most amazing specimen he's ever seen. Ladies please help!

ashleygray89 · April 2016

This is hilarious!!!!

hollywoodave531 · April 2016

And I don't ever have panic and anxiety filled dreams where DH suddenly dies or my baby is born a different sex than what showed up on the AS....I'm so lucky!

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

Ladies, please don't be jealous, but I made it to the bathroom every single time (and it was only like 4 times all day!) I needed to pee with no leaking whatsoever.

TunieBee · April 2016

Everytime I sneeze, I tinkle fairly dust

ahernandez16 · April 2016

My kid also only kicks and jabs right in the center of my stomach and does not disrupt any of my internal organs or cause me any discomfort. It's the best. I'm glad he's so considerate.

dennyandlee · April 2016

Yep, and the first person has not remarked about how cute I am or tried to harass my belly without asking. I'm pretty sure something is wrong because this pregnancy has just been too glorious...

NicknShan · April 2016

I hate how peacefully I fall asleep. As soon as I hit the pillow - I am out. And my bed feels so comfortable. Is anyone noticing that too?

goldie987 · April 2016

Am I the only one who doesn't wake up at midnight, 2 am, 4 am and 6am because their hips are numb/sore?

berky84 · April 2016

Good news! I just got off the phone with HR - the maternity leave process couldn't be more crystal clear and helpful to the needs of my growing family. I can't believe my company is going to pay for and entire year at my full salary so I can bond with my child. They really seem to care about me.

AshleyBKeen · April 2016

Guys, I'm so concerned! I am really hitting my stride at the office and I'm afraid that everyone is being far too nice and accommodating because I'm pregnant! I definitely am not working any overtime or being piled on with more tasks that any person could reasonably accomplish in 8 hours! My boss even assumed that I would stop working a week before my due date to finish up details at home. Should I talk to HR about discrimination?

SMLmom · April 2016

My esophagus is permanently in a state of cool, calm, contentment. My stomach basically produces its own zantac. What is also awesome is that my toddler is 100% happy not being picked up so my back has never felt better! Good times all around!

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

I'm sure you're all experiencing this loveliness,
too, but I just love my glowing skin and the fact that I don't have a ton of extra, baby fine hairs all over my face.

CourtJack · April 2016

Can we just all get back to my thigh gap that's appeared? I'm really getting stressed. Do you think it means I'll go into labour early? I mean, I know most pregnant women get bigger thighs and sometimes even stretch marks . I don't have that, so I'm super stressed out. What if my mucus plug just falls right out because of all the extra gap? So nervous. Appreciate any advice.

Also, I eat 900 calories a day. That's enough right?

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

@CourtJack- I think stretch marks are actually a myth, perpetrated by the Bio-Oil and Cocoa Butter industries. I've heard that the thigh gap- that I'm sure we're all rocking- leads to quicker labors and a super easy delivery....baby will just fly right out without all that nasty chub in the way. Also, pretty sure the recommended caloric intake for a pregnant woman in the third tri is somewhere around 700, so you might want to cut back a bit. Fainting and low birth weight are both awesome side effects, I've heard.

edeibel89 · April 2016

I'm just hating how I'm not having any weirdo sex dreams about random people, including co-workers, that make me super uncomfortable when I encounter them during my normal day. It's making me so worried that I'm not waking up in confusion, shame or horny.
