Symptoms 5.26.16

DiFazette · May 2016

Looking for one of these and couldn't find it so I'm starting it late this week.

DiFazette · May 2016

Anyone having mild lightning crotch (pains inside the vagina/near the cervix)? It's only been a few times and sporadic but I feel like it was much later last pg. We've (me and DS) been sick with strep and I feel like crap. I'm trying to drink as much as normal but swallowing is killer. Wondering if it could be due to lessened fluids? I'm probably still drinking 60+oz a day.

sammyl1221 · May 2016

@DiFazette im definitely in the same boat. It has gotten better but sometimes it will be in the middle of walking and I'm like HOLY SH*T!

My symptom for the day my nipples ARE KILLING ME. Legit feel like they are on fire. My husband hugged me today and I almost punched him in the face. Also I ate half a jar of pickles today. The clausen kind. Yummmmm

phoenix870509 · May 2016

RLP started last night. Was NOT fun. Kept getting a sharp cramping pain in the same spot for over 2 hours, and no amount of shifting or stretching helped. Also my morning sickness came back today, but just for an hour. Just when I get cocky and say "I feel fine, I'm not gonna take my anti-nausea meds today" BAM, lost my lunch. Fine now that I have my meds in my system, of course! *sigh* 12 weeks tomorrow, so not much longer....right? Right? Please tell me I'm right?

cjt121413 · May 2016

@DiFazette I've had it a couple of times already do. Weird.

@phoenix870509 RLP got noticeable for me last night, too, especially when rolling over in bed. Woohoo.

My biggest symptoms today are major bloat and nausea. Nothing new, although the bloat is worse today, or maybe I'm just getting bigger. We're traveling out of state tonight so it should be interesting to see how this goes.

FitTris · May 2016

Still with the nausea, but good days are starting to become mixed in with the mostly bad days and some nights (every 4-5 days or so) really bad cramping/stretching. I still have aversions to anything cooking, but if someone cooks for me (or it's take out) I can generally try to eat it. I just can't prep my own food. I somehow talk myself into being grossed out by it.

DiFazette · May 2016

@FitTris - I struggle to prepare anything with meat. It's all disgusting to me right now. I'm the cook of the house too so it's quite a problem. H normally gets home at 6:30 after working a 12 hour day and I know it's the last thing he wants to do, but I can't do it.

MamaBearToBe · May 2016

@DiFazette I'm getting mild lightning crotch too! I'm a ftm, so don't know if it's too early? But I get them randomly for a few seconds

Thought the nausea was getting better the last few days but had horrible vomiting last night. I finished my progesterone suppositories on the weekend so I was hoping that the nausea would be gone now....but no!

beff12 · May 2016

DH went to pick up my diclegis and Walmart is out of stock

how is that even possible? I'm hoping I don't die before tomorrow at 1:00 when they said it'll be ready. No, I'm not dramatic.

My worst symptom right now would be the food aversions. I just want to want food again! I'm so tired of saltines.

jennannra · May 2016

Still living on crackers and plain bagels..every few days I get something quasi normal down. I am 12 weeks 3 days today and for me its the constant urge to gag. It has actually gotten worse the last few days. Had the lightning pains and twinges last week but they have subsided. I haven't cooked in weeks...lol.

PharmDMom · May 2016

12w1d here and I'm still waiting for improvement... I honestly thought I would be feeling better by now!! Nausea isn't as bad as it was weeks 10-11 but definitely still there. I'm still so freaking exhausted. Probably bc I'm keeping myself too busy for first tri but having two kids and working part time doesn't leave much rest time!! And new this week---- varicose veins! The patch I had on my leg during my last pregnancy went away after delivery but now they are back with a vengeance. And they hurt. Food aversions still hanging around. I hope 13 weeks is my magic number.

penelope4612 · May 2016

My nipples are so itchy. It is so uncomfortable at work.

zubenescamali · May 2016

Lightening crotch, it was so bad on Monday then that night I just kept having crazy vaginal spasms, RLP, food aversions, food cravings (like I'm almost in tears because DH won't go to the store to buy me grapes right now!) nausea, vomiting, constipation, back pain and butt numbness, which I'm guessing is either sciatic or peroneal nerve irritation from my tilted uterus.

^^omg this!!! I keep having to run into a corner and awkward arm rub them lol. Also I may have had lightning crotch today, it was a weird pressure/ pain that lasted a few seconds....I've had lightning belly button though

slartybartfast · May 2016

1- nausea and vomiting
2- food aversions but there are enough "ok" foods that I'm gonna survive unless it gets worse.
3- headaches
4- fatigue like I can't even describe. Like I literally worry that I'm going to collapse walking around
5- I have to walk so slowly everywhere to keep from ralphing. It sucks. People at work keep making fun of me. I just said my ankle flared up again (not untrue anyway). Getting my heart rate up just makes me fail. I feel like my body is wasting away.
6- Emotions. I'll get a hit of emotions and then I get all "I love you bro" on whatever I happen to be looking at. Today it was a golf course. I hate golf and golf courses' greedy water consumption. But in that moment I thought it was just a beautiful thing.

ETA - 7- full on despair. When I'm feeling super bad and can't stop barfing, I feel despair. Like I don't know how to make it through the day.
ETA2- 8- Nobody touch me.

lilbug88 · May 2016

Super bloating. And some cramping, but I think that's more constipation.

BabyRobbinsAdventure · May 2016

Experianced Lightning Crotch for the first time minutes ago when I coughed while watching Wheel of Fortune. Was not expecting what it felt like!

DH was very excited he was there to witness it.. Which is weird haha

beff12 · May 2016

@slartybartfast amen on the "please don't touch me." I am trying to push through for DH's sake but I feel bad for him. I know you have a toddler too...she was only happy while crawling all over me tonight, rubbing my face with her little grubby hands and kissing me. It was really sweet, but part of me wanted to toss her to DH and hide in my bedroom.

ALM2016 · May 2016

Literally have no symptoms of any type that I can identify, which is really freaking me out. Although reading the other symptoms on this board, I'm really hoping maybe I'm just super lucky. Here's hoping that you all feel better soon!

Jdlc1991 · May 2016

Wow ladies! I'm sorry and I hope you all feel better soon!!!! I'm having slight meat aversions around dinner time, I just don't want to eat it myself, a little breast soreness and some slight fatigue around mid day. But my whole pregnancy has been just slight symptoms over all. I'm 11w 4d today. Good luck to you all, I hope the next few weeks into our second trimester brings us all symptom free fun!!!

jenlynne0624 · May 2016

Still the nausea and food aversions and so much exhaustion. Sore nips, but I feel like, knock on wood, things are getting easier. I'm 12w3d so I'm hoping this ends before 16-18 weeks like with ds.

swhiddon33 · May 2016

I didn't realize a person could gag so much in a day. *long drawn out whine* and hello reflux. It's been a while. Soooo nice to have you again *sarcasm*

Megan-Alaire · May 2016

Reflux, heavy (not too sore) boobs, and food aversions. However, yesterday was the first day I did not have to take an afternoon nap [insert happy dance here] so maybe my fatigue is starting to go away!! I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow

KatieJo1205 · May 2016

I hear you ladies on the itchy nipples thing. So weird. I also never realized how much I took pooping for granted. I'm having some... I wouldn't call it pain, more like discomfort in my lower abdomen. I don't know if it is RLP? Lastly I feel like I am sweating way more than usual. Even when I'm cold I feel my underarms are sweaty.

Kacie209 · May 2016

My boobs have been itchy lately, too.

This week... my some of my symptoms have decreased. Which, I am crossing my fingers means they're going away, but also kind of freaks me out at the same time.

Major bloat... ugh. Constipation. I try not to push it out, but I just desperately want it out. I have been tired, but it's mainly the afternoon slump and being super slow at work this week... which doesn't help. ACNE... and mainly, BACNE. It's awful, and it hurts. MS hasn't showed it's ugly self for a few days, so knock on wood for that.

penelope4612 · May 2016

Is anyone who is further along still having intermittent cramping? I'm 13 weeks. It freaks me out every time. No bleeding though.

cayaylonglegs · May 2016

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a case of the crotch cramps. I was initially concerned because I had finally stopped taking progesterone on Sunday - hallelujah! But I figure its just the next step in a vast parade of pregnancy symptoms.

mysteryship · May 2016

Fatigue is getting better - yesterday I got home from work and actually cleaned things instead of passing out. I felt like a champion.

Mild lightning crotch (DH is really amused when I say it), and RLP. That's taking some getting used to.

We keep running out of time to go get apples, and every night I get really sad because that's all I want for dinner. DH says apples aren't dinner, but what does he know?

I'm 12w2d and last night I started having some tough cramps. They lasted all night, and then have been off and on today. No bleeding, and nothing else. I'm debating calling, or just waiting until Tuesday when I have an appt anyways.

slartybartfast · May 2016

Anyone else with hg? I feel fairly confident I'm going to get the diagnosis again next appt and would be up for a separate weekly thread

bumpof2 · May 2016

Yes, but I think for me anyway it's due to constipation! I'll get really cramps especially after no BM in two or more days. The days that I'm regular normally don't have any. Good luck!

I think this is kind of what I was describing in my symptoms. Mine aren't super painful but definitely uncomfortable, not quite as bad as a period cramp. I asked my dr about it yesterday and she said that it is probably just uterine stretching.

SchruteBucks · May 2016

Nausea and vomiting here, plus everything smells bad. At least I'm only throwing up once or twice a day now instead of 8 or more times. I still can't drink anything, so I suck on ice chips all day to try and stay hydrated.

Yup, I Got diagnosed when I went to the er to get rehydrated @ week 9. This is my first pregnancy I had no idea. I thought I was being a big baby and just couldn't suck it up. I would love to talk to someone who's been through it or at least knows what it's like

Shwee25 · May 2016

I wanted to punch someone at work today. I work with all guys, and someone smelled like they hadn't showered in 10 days. Okay.. that smell would get to me when I wasn't pregnant. Now that I have a super-nose I can't even... I thought I was going to puke on the spot. I don't know how I didn't snap like a cheeto.

infomercial smell stinky stink smelly

beff12 · May 2016

@slartybartfast, I think I saw a thread a couple weeks ago - it might be a few pages back by now. I'm sorry that it's that bad for you

do you feel dehydrated? I know that's such a huge concern.

yea I was thinking maybe a weekly check in... it's a long road... I'm definitely dehydrated but don't need an IV. I have windows where I can chug and this morning I was able to chug down some pedialyte which I realized makes a big difference. Who knows though. Maybe it will clear up sometime around 14 weeks this time...

beff12 · May 2016

I hope it does clear up for you @slartybartfast! A girl I went to high school with has HG right now and posted something on fb about an online support forum she found. If you do end up being diagnosed with it, I can get the info from her if you want it. She's posted some blogs about her journey and it really opened up my eyes to how awful it is.

tarheelcaroline · May 2016

So sorry for those having to deal with HG!

At 11w and still throwing up a few times most days, but usually just in the mornings. I barely made it to my 1pm dr appt, and on the way had some pelvic cramps while walking. They went away when I quit walking. Oh well, I tried not being lazy...

cjt121413 · May 2016

So sorry for everyone suffering with HG and/or severe ms. My nausea is hard to deal with but I haven't had vomiting.

Right now my bloating is out of control and really uncomfortable. Constipation, too, which doesn't help. But hopefully I'll feel better when the bump turns to bump.
