Progress (week/day): 8 weeks, 2 days

Symptoms: Morning All-day sickness, bloated, some days more exhausted than others, mild cramping

Rants/Raves/Questions: I wish my all day sickness was predictable. Some days I have a few hours reprieve and it's never at the same time.

I still don't have any real symptoms with the exception of sore boobs. I have "symptoms" but they aren't pregnancy symptoms. Like, last night and this morning I have this burning sensation on my side (just on the skin, like a sunburn). I have mad food cravings but I'm pretty sure that is all in my head because I love food anyway. Yesterday I was able to push my stomach out so far I looked full term. Gross. I really don't want to be humongous by the this time this little ones makes his/her debut.

The all day sickness is subsiding. I'm very thankful for this! I still get sick in the evenings, but that's a lot better than 24/7. Still super exhausted, I could sleep for a week straight and still be tired. The acne is also subsiding which is great because ever since I started IF treatment (7 months ago) my skin has been shit.

My allergies are really acting up. I stayed home today because my head hurts so bad and I can barely breathe. I'm bummed because the only thing that ever helps is Sudafed and that's on the list of no-nos. Time to research what else I can take...anyone have tips for allergy meds?

my morning sickness is usually worst at night now. Tried grocery shopping yesterday and all meats made me wanna hurl. Next weekend someone else will have to do it. We are almost done with the worst of it though!

kristah2 · April 2016

11+6 and ooohh the headaches. I'm prone to migraines anyway but everyday now. And morning sickness is gone but headaches are triggering throwing up.
Doesn't help hubby left the bathroom closet door open in the middle of the night.. Which I found out with my head when I went to pee in the dark at 4 am. also all the nighttime wake-ups and bathroom trips!

dizziness, headaches, just feeling blah. Missing a lot of work.

beforeyou · April 2016

Progress (week/day): 11 weeks 4 days

Symptoms: BLOAT. Good God will it ever end!? It's the kind that like hurts too, you know? Like your stomach is so pushed out it feels like it will burst.
Gaggy off and on, but thats starting to subside.
RLP and general growing pains in the ute area.
Super tired all the time. My eyes feel like at any moment they will just shut on their own and stay that way and I'll be powerless to stop it.
Also been having some dizziness lately.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Nothing crazy, can't wait to get out of this first Tri. Didn't realize how difficult it would be. And I'd really like for this bloat to turn to bump so that I can start wearing normal clothes again instead of trying to hide this "Is it fat? Is it bump?" thing. Oh a rave is that our baby's heartbeat is getting easier and easier to find with the doppler. The other day it took us like 20 seconds.

m6agua · April 2016

Progress (week/day): 9 weeks

Symptoms: Bloat, constipation, fatigue, slight nausea, moody, uncomfortable, skin breakout, peeing a lot, sore boobs/nipples, itchy skin

Rants/Raves/Questions: I was worried because I was starting to feel better and symptoms were going away (the placenta is starting to take more responsibility), but then I had a bite of my sand which and I just about threw up.

Hi everybody :-) This is the beginning of week 10 for me. The headaches have just started. I suppose it makes sense, since I've been dry-heaving for a week, and the pressure in my head was bound to cause some problems eventually. I've actually been taking naps in the middle of the day, which is unheard-of for me. I bought this ten-foot-long pillow that is the snuggliest thing I've ever owned. I just wrap it around me, turn the A/C up, and drift off listening to a book on tape. I hope these headaches aren't a result of increased blood pressure, and aren't going to be around for the whole pregnancy :-P

I feel like crap. Almost hurled in the car on our way home from dropping off my husbands son...luckily I made it home. But now he's cooking himself something to eat and the smell of the oven heating up is about to send me over the edge.

Always have indigestion. Always bloated. Never feel good after 4pm. Always crampy. Much more headaches, before I was prego I never got them hardly ever.

I'm overweight anyway so I'm kinda bummed I don't have the atypical baby bump. It's all fat lol...I'm sure ill look really pregnant by like 8mos. Until then, I'm just fat lol

Justpeachier13 · April 2016

I'm sorry you're not feeling well @jenesiso hopefully you'll have some good days soon. I'm overweight too but I'm rocking my blump! It's bigger than it was before I was pregnant so that's good enough for me!

@Shima42 I feel you on the headaches. And Tylenol doesn't work. I have pillow envy! I see one in my future!

I'm 11w tomorrow and haven't been sick this week until tonight. Lost my carne aside fries!! Headaches, dizziness, emotional, tired, and I feel like my husband's patience is running out. I have no one else nearby to bug, so he gets all of it. Plus we haven't told everyone yet, so I can't even talk to anyone about it. Sigh....grateful for you ladies!

FiancB · April 2016

8+2. I felt very sick last week and much better this week so I thought okay, cool, maybe that's it for me. Hahaha nope. Back to feeling like garbage. I haven't actually thrown up but I have a bit of a phobia so I think I'm mentally much more resistant to it than most people and any sane person would've let things fly several times. I have to be extremely sick, nothing's going to stop it, before I actually throw up. I felt pretty good yesterday and managed to do a gastric residual at nursing clinical while only gagging a little. I don't think it would go that well today.

Other than that though, a bit less bloated and a little less tired so that's good. Boobs aren't so bad either. I'd be worried about the fading symptoms but I just had an ultrasound and everything looked great, so that helps. I think I'm mostly just getting used to things.

I gotta get me some ginger ale. I have to park in a big parking ramp and by the time I get to the top to find a spot and have gone around in circles and gone over a bunch of speed bumps, I feel pretty sick! I don't get carsick easily at all but it's just too much.

11+5 today

A bit concerned as I noticed on my Fitbit that my heart rate has been skyrocketing when I'm taking the dog for walks...like I'm talking upwards of 170bpm just walking the dog. I feel fine when I'm out there (I did have some palpitations on our walk yesterday but nothing today). Previously my heart rate on walks has been averaging around 110s-120s, today the average was 140. Going to see my endo this afternoon so I'll probably mention it to him. My resting heart rate remains the same, high 50s to low 60s so I don't know if it's Fitbit error or if something actually is going on.

Symptoms feel different the last few days. My boobs are stil ridiculous clown balloons, but they don't hurt anymore. Also I'm noticing more hair falling out which is scaring me, but I was on Estrace and the dosage got cut in half, so maybe that's it.
During the day my belly is fine, but at night I'm hideously gassy and nauseated. It feels like if I could just eat the right thing the nausea would go away... I haven't lost any food yet, except an apple in week 6, but nothing sounds good except fast food cheeseburgers and greasy salty fries. Maybe pepperoni pizza.
This rabbit food and lean protein I've been trying to choke down ain't cutting it!

oh and headaches. They're a delightful new symptom. Every day this week.

Come on, placenta, take over already and even all this out!!

Bloat, oh god the bloat. I lost 5 pounds over the course of the night and felt less bloated today. It's a ridiculous amount of water weight, along with being backed up and a small amount of actual fat I'm putting on. The boobs hurt less, but I still have like no sex drive which is kind of getting me down.

All I want is stick-to-your-ribs food. I could really go for a big plate of liver and onions, but I know that's a no go. Barring that, maybe a huge bowl of spaghetti bolognese...
