Early Symptoms?

@LinziLoo09 Haha I love it! That's the problem I'm having too, now that you mention it. I'm retaining water. I've been drinking a lot of water and I thought that would help, but no. I've solved the constipation issue with Colace, but I'm either retaining water or digestion is making me bloat. I have skinny legs so I look like a stuffed chicken on stilts. Been wearing a lot of black and flowy clothes.
Damn these people for making us put our bloat on display! I've been asked to be in a wedding 3 months after baby gets here and I'm thinking HELL NO haha.

@LinziLoo09 that feeling is awful. I think we have all been there

I would just get in my pajamas, order a pizza and call it a night lol

I just had to fudge the truth and pretend to have morning sickness so DH would feel bad for me and step up. I now have morning sickness and it serves me right. And now, I feel like I'm really actually pregnant and am having all the feels. So emotional.

Okay new symptom. Is anyone else experiencing this? it feels like someone punched me in my pubic bone. Like right on the bone. It's so sore!! Everything I'm reading is saying increased blood flow but it's the actual bone. I told DH this and he's like ummmmm that's interesting lol.

@dmontgo & @doodleoodle Thank you for the bloaty support! So we went to the wedding...free food ended up swaying me more than the public bloat did. I managed to find a sack-like dress that doesn't hug anything anywhere, and I used DD to cover aspects of my belly when I was feeling more exposed. Free filet mignon was worth the time out from my pajamas. And 3 hours in, she fell asleep in my arms, so "whoops, guys, we've got to go put her into bed!" Ah I love my little party pooping excuse. I've never been much of a night owl, so it's nice to be able to blame my lameness on the spawn.

@sammyl1221 - Is it RLP? Lightening crotch can definitely feel like it's hitting a bone at times. Does it happen more when you cough, sneeze, or move quickly?

@LinziLoo09 sounds like a great night to me!

this is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure. It happens when I'm walking or get out of bed. It's just so strange because when I touch my pelvic bone it feels sore. I'm just assuming it's growing pains. It's more uncomfortable than painful. I'm going Friday to my obgyn for blood work so I might mention it then if it still have it.

Starting around 4.5 weeks, I had really bad cramping at night, especially if I was super active during the day (I'm a runner & fit pro). That was different than my first two pregnancies. The nausea gradually started at 6.5 weeks and here I am in a constant nauseated state at 7 weeks 1 day

Pay attention to when it happens moving forward @sammyl1221 . If it's mostly when you're moving, it could very well be RLP. And I'd imagine if you touch the bone where it hurts, it would be sore. Those ligaments are going to be laying across your abdomen and pubic bone, so you're probably touching them too when you hit the bone. Everything down there is going to start stretching to accommodate a growing baby! It's an uncomfortable process!

@LinziLoo09 Free food, eh? You might have persuaded me lol. I'll do just about anything for some free food. #noshame

@LinziLoo09 you are seriously the funniest and I completely feel the exact same
way

sammyl1221 · May 2016

@LinziLoo09 it's mostly when I'm walking/ moving. So you're probably right.
