I swear I've never had round ligament pain this early (4.5wks) or this bad in all my pregnancies. It's always when I make a sudden big movement like going from sitting to standing, it's very sharp and feels like everything down there seized up real tight and it takes a few moments to slowly relax. Yeouch! It doubles me over sometimes and takes my breath away. Luckily I haven't had it in front of an audience yet, because that would make it difficult to explain away. I need an excuse a little less emergent than appendicitis.
We're in Denmark right now for the next month and I feel like every scary thing that could happen has happened. I got food poisoning on my way here (was dehydrated + running a fever), massive sleep deprivation from travel, and then yesterday I sliced my thumb open with a really sharp knife and lost a bit of blood (OH claims it was less than the amount you'd lose in a normal doc office blood draw but I think it was more). The health care system here is not terrific and is very hands-off so it is kind of terrifying not to be able to just drive over to a doctor's office and get checked out and of course, I'm on heightened awareness of every little change, so it's frustrating to know I won't even have the opportunity to hear baby's HB until nearly 10 weeks when I'm back home.
Also: Whenever people talk about flying in trimester, they just talk about morning sickness. But omg the urgency to pee. I never noticed it before, but the time between the seatbelts sign coming on for landing and going off once at the gate? It's upwards of 45 minutes to an hour. I had two separate flights where the second the light went off, I jumped out of my seat a full 2 or 3 seconds before the near-immediate rise of everyone else in the plane just to get back to the bathroom. My OH said there was even a running commentary about me on the first flight when it happened haha.

Yes I'be had this since about then too. It goes for a couple of days and will then come back. Just add sneezing to the list of movements for me. I've also had stitch which is weird
My sense of smell is so strong right now. Last time I gave away my pregnancy because I was gagging on changing a dirty diaper in front of my mom. She was like are you pregnant or what? She could tell by my face
Is anyone else cold all the time? I don't remember being especially cold last time but I got pregnant in the fall so if I was cold I had an actual reason, not just a poppy seed being stealing all my heat! Last night at dinner I told DH he was going to have to come sit next to me so I could cuddle for warmth. Also, I'd kill for some mozzarella sticks right now.

Yes, freezing! I remember it from last time too which I thought was so weird. Aren't pregnant women supposed to be hot all the time? Nope!
So I pretty much have to trek over the hill and through the woods to get to the bathroom at my office (hooray having only 1 bathroom on each floor!).
Anyways, I was halfway to the ladies' room when all of the sudden the sickeningly sweet smell of breakfast pastries enveloped the whole hallway and I involuntarily gagged the rest of the way to the bathroom. Just thinking about it makes me want to dry heave. Needless to say, I practically ran back to my office after I peed for the fourth time this morning.
Why does it have to be between me and the bathroom...WHY?!?! Damn you, super-sniffer!!!

***stuck in the stupid box***
Sneezing has been a huge RLP trigger for me. It's so painful and I don't think I had this last time until much later.
The constant nausea has begun. I haven't actually thrown up yet but now I'm thinking it's only a matter of time. Just hoping it's not at work. Not sure how I would explain that, especially since everyone knows how sick I was with DS.
I have been having the wonderful diarrhea too.. yay... also I'm so exhausted, the past 2 nights I've just been falling asleep right after dinner and DH has had to take over bedtime for our 3 yr old. He actually joked last night that with our first pregnancy he was able to play so many video games because I was sleeping all the time and now with a 3 year old he can't cause he has to watch her haha..
I've had my first official throw up of the pregnancy today! woo...now it's not just intense nausea. And my eyes are so sensitive, I have to wear my sunglasses just to function, otherwise, I have a migraine mid morning. Is that normal?
@katesmama0706, I am always cold! I had the space heater on most of yesterday (and I live in FL!).

Children are like casseroles; it takes a lot to mess them up.
I know ive said this before but by BOOBS! They hurt. I actually gave up and switched to sports bra which oddly enough seems the most comfortable. Except tonight. I have this dinner awards banquet thing so I'm painfully putting on a regular bra. Sports bra wouldn't look great under a dress. I actually tried and tried finding a nice cover or sweater to xover the fact im wearing a sports bra. Nope! Regular it is. It is not awful so I'll manage
Is anyone else having gas problems? My biggest symptom so far is lots of gas and then nagging trapped gas, which I feel on the upper right under my ribs. It's not so much painful as super uncomfortable. It's making my work day interesting...
@cjs260 sorry for your pain, but genuinely thrilled someone can commiserate. I've done all the standard panicked googling (do I have an ectopic pregnancy etc), but then it clears and I know the real culprit...

Oh yes. Thanks to the digestive system slowing down during pregnancy, it will be a symptom for the next 8 months. Yippee!
Im right there with you guys! If I keep this up someone is going to be calling me out when its 80 degrees next week! My space heater is on high ALL of the time at work!!
