Happy July 4th American mamas!

How are you all feeling this week? Vent or rant away!!

Starfish113 · July 2016

Sooooooo bad. I haven't kept down food in 3 days!!! My midwife finally broke down and called me in some zofran and DH is going to grab it now so I'm praying for some relief. But diclegis and reglan were a no-go. Just like my first pregnancy.

kramiemom · July 2016

I'm so nauseous and exhausted. 6 weeks hit me like a slap in the face, and we are moving so basically I just lay on the floor and tell DH where to put things.

blush64 · July 2016

I am tired all the time but I can't sleep. I am awake until near 2 or 3 am every night. I am up a few times to use the washroom and then I wake up by 5 or 6 and keep trying to sleep until my 3 year old wakes up or I have to get up for the day. She no longer likes naps so I am exhausted by the next day, but still can't sleep.

The thought, look and smell of food makes me feel nauseated. If I stand for more than a few minutes I feel sick. I am not throwing up and I hope it doesn't start but I am having trouble eating anything other than certain fruits and veggies.

The pain and lumps from my pio has gotten worse. The lumps are huge but at least its getting closer to the last shot. I am hoping sometime in August.

I feel lucky because it could be so much worse but it still sucks.

PerraSucia · July 2016

@blush64 my ass got way worse and then better again around week 8. I don't even know. But now my shots bleed WAY more. Last night was like a tiny scene from Dexter. But they don't hurt anymore.

Today is my last day of endometrium and I'm hoping my migraines leave with it. Friday and Saturday I felt amazing like a new person but yesterday and today are back to death.

blush64 · July 2016

@PerraSucia I am bleeding a lot too. It's so odd, I can see other needle marks when I inject. The lumps are terrible. Do you find the lumps get better? I am afraid the lumps will permanently affect my butt muscles. (Don't know how but I want my old butt back at the end of this)

PerraSucia · July 2016

@blush64 they when they were the most painful they were like almost golf balls big and now they're back to marbles but definitely still there. I have to assume they will eventually go away?! I was told to put a warm wet rag and massage them but can't tell if it helps or not.

becks13-2 · July 2016

So far I am still only tired, sometimes I think I might be getting a bit of nausea, but it passes quickly. Although embarrassingly I notice I am super gassy

like wow. I'm also not sure if I should call it a symptom or not, but this morning I woke up at about 4:30am, went to the kitchen made myself eggs on toast, and then went back to bed... when I woke up again it felt like that was a stupidly realistic dream, like my brain would not believe I did that until I went into the kitchen and saw the dirty dishes as evidence... it was weird.

Xstatic3333 · July 2016

Thanks for starting, @concreteangell! I kinda forgot it was Monday.

I've had some of my best and worst days over the last week, so it's hard to say which way my symptoms are going. It's probably overly optimistic to think they're letting up for good at 9 weeks, but a break on the holiday weekend to eat normally and relax has been great.

One symptom that has been flaring is pain in my ovarian cyst. This has been going on off and on since day one, and nobody ever seems concerned about it at my visits, but I still find it mentally worrying. Just trying to focus on the present and avoid worry spirals.

poofwok · July 2016

@Xstatic3333 no problem! I honestly didn't know if anyone assigned themselves to start this thread so I figured I'd give it a go. If you have volunteered to do it every week, I'll leave it in your hands!

I'm 9 weeks and I can't really say I'm nauseous all that much but if I don't snack every 2 hours or so then I feel queasy. I'm still feeling the need to nap every afternoon. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good.

Oh no it's up for grabs! I started the last few because it's an important one and I tend to get up/bump very early, but I'm good with whoever gets there first going for it.

Tennis11785 · July 2016

I'm sleepy all day, and up all night, which is SUPER FUN. It also leads to me bring super grumpy, which my husband is finding SUPER FUN.

Overall, the MS comes and goes. And while it's definitely there, it's not nearly as bad as others have it, so I try not to complain.

emilypanthel · July 2016

I am tired constantly and want to eat all the food there is. I am constantly talking about food, thinking about food, looking things up about food.

MalyJ · July 2016

Pretty tired all the time. My boobs are so tender, laying on my stomach is painful. Some slight nausea here and there but nothing too bad. And yes, @BeckS13...soooo gassy!

wineo929 · July 2016

My nausea has me eating every 30-45 minutes to keep from throwing up. Everything makes me nauseated, but I have to eat SOMETHING or I throw up. It's such a vicious cycle. Although, I'm happy to be cooking this babe.

I keep reminding myself that I was sick like this with DS and I honestly don't remember it at all. So soon this will be a distant non-memory.

MonaLisaRalphio · July 2016

My MS has been a lot more pronounced the last few days. The nausea hasn't gotten worse, exactly, but it's happening every day around the same time. I'm okay when I wake up, but by 9am, I'm kind of a hot mess until around noon. It's really starting to get in my way.

I'm also running out of excuses to avoid social events. Really can't wait to spill the beans.

fourPsinapod · July 2016

Finally, friends.. The nausea has subsided for the most part. Only took 10 weeks but ya know. Still extremely exhausted!

angeltennis3 · July 2016

I am struggling this time around. I am thankfully not getting sick but I just feel like crap all day long and dry heave a lot. Over this holiday weekend I have been taking 2-3 hour naps every afternoon and still going to bed at 9. I don't know what I am going to do when my husband goes back to work tomorrow and I go back to work next week.

Jlk2016 · July 2016

I HAVE to eat every 15-30 minutes or I puke. I'm constantly nauseous. Beyond exhausted, BLOATED!, heartburn, BLOATED, moody, sudden acne, BLOATED!

pickle-chips · July 2016

Dead. Tired. My doctor's office called today and said I have a low heboglobin count, which is unsurprising. Hopefully the ferrous sulfate supplement will help with my energy level -- even if it wreaks havoc on my digestive system

runnermom04 · July 2016

Nausea like woah, and when I'm not nauseous I'm having a food aversion to meat :-( I love steak but have zero desire to eat it.

mjsommer · July 2016

Extremely nauseous all day until about 5/6 when we have dinner. I'm pretty sure this is just a vicious cycle of I feel to sick to eat so I'm empty and dry heaving/throwing up bottom contents (yucky) then I finally eat and feel some relief. I'm hoping these next couple of weeks bring in the relief. Also my tummy is sensitive to the touch. With a one year old this is difficult bc he loves to be carried,snuggle belly to belly, and nurse all the time...

MommaBean · July 2016

+: I'm not as tired as I was with DS, I don't think, and my hair is really soft and shiny

-: achy uterus and round ligament pain (already?!); nausea is worse in the evening around the time DH is trying to serve a family dinner

ETA: sleeping terribly at night!

glitterdragon-2 · July 2016

I haven't had a decent poop in like, 3 weeks. Exhaustion feels like it is punching me in the face. I'm getting very bored with water. I've started drinking Gatorade in between glasses of water.

krob · July 2016

wasn't experiencing any nausea which made me nervous. now I regret worrying about it b/c I would give anything just to be tired and that's it.

never have drank rank gingerale in my life and in the last 48hours I've downed a six-pack. seems to work and keep nausea at bay.

i really wanna go workout, but I am either too exhausted or feeling sick to do so. it took me a year to lose 10lbs and had about 5-10 more to go before BFP. I'm ok with the weight gain that's coming, but I don't want to overdo it. Hoping to be able to bounce back in Spring 2017.

Me too! I'm not doing too bad if someone else cooks it and the meat is mixed in with other things (like pasta sauce or a stir fry). But steak or chicken on its own? Forget about it.

Rachelbd · July 2016

Have been totally exhausted, yet unable to sleep at night. Also peeing pretty often, including having to get up at night to do so. My boobs are sore and swelling already which is a nightmare since they are already 38DD+. I had only little bouts of queasiness up until today, when I woke up and almost vomited immediately. I've been super nauseous since then. I was actually a little nervous with how normal I had felt, but today It was like, "welcome to six weeks, here's some barfiness!" Also, I usually take a daily med for chronic migraines, which I had to stop as soon as I got BFP, and the past week I have been getting awful migraines every single day. It's awful. Hoping my midwife will have some ideas to help w/that because they really make it hard to function. Have also been getting cramping/ligament pain. Also bloating. Lots of bloating. ahh joys of pregnancy! We are very excited though, despite my physical misery lol! Can't wait until we are able to tell my 4 yr old DS. He has been asking for a baby for a year and will be super excited to be a Big brother!

AliJorgensen29 · July 2016

I am so very exhausted, and I'm a SAHM with two toddlers. So, none of the house work is getting done since I take naps when the kiddos do lol. I can't eat meat since it makes me sick, I keep getting bad headaches and hot flashes (which is a new one for me, never had those with my other two).

I can't wait to get out of the first trimester so I start feeling better. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend

It's so comforting to see someone else in the 9-10 week range who is also feeling better lately! I feel almost like a normal person today, and as nice as it is I just spent my lunch break in a Dr. Google downward spiral. I keep poking my boobs like I used to do back in the early weeks .

angeltennis3 · July 2016

The nausea and exhaustion has been 1,000 times worse than with my first. I sent DD to my moms today and will probably still send her to daycare tomorrow and Thursday, even though I am off work, because I feel so terrible. #momoftheyear

SweetT · July 2016

Still having nausea throughout the day and serious food aversions. Everything makes me gag.
New for me this week is extremely restless sleep. I wake up constantly to pee (I swear I never got up to pee until like 33 weeks with my first) and even when I fall back to sleep I toss and turn and constantly wake myself up.

HeatSparks · July 2016

I've had a constant throbbing tension headache for going on three weeks. Anyone have some science they want to throw at me? Google searches are unfulfilling. I do see my dr. tomorrow though.

All day nausea. The only time I don't feel miserable is when I'm sleeping. So I sleep a lot. Those dreams though. Last night I was a teenage boy.

What the actual...

laurenmichael725 · July 2016

Exhaustion has hit me hard. Wishing I could take a nap, but with two little kids running around it is out of the question. I haven't been too nauseous- queasy every so often. Actually, as I write this I'm realizing I'm a little nauseous. Some food aversions. Planning what to make for dinner has been challenging. My breasts are so heavy and swollen it hurts to lay down on my side when I sleep. Also, getting up about 4 times per night to pee.

kswiger06 · July 2016

I'm constantly tired.but the big one is I've noticed I've sort of lost all my sensor controls. I've been telling it how I see it, which at times has been great because I'm the type that people walk all over. I've been blunt, and at times over rude when normally I'm nice and bite my tongue. So far my husband doesn't mind because I've been dealing with my problems rather than just complaining to him, but I know this isn't really me so I want to feel bad, I just don't. My sister in law just told me this weekend that she loves my spicy pregnant attitude lol.

MonaLisaRalphio · July 2016

@HeatSparks with headaches, it can so often be about eliminating triggers. You may need to go through your environment systematically to see what might need to be changed. It could be anything, from your eye prescription (or lack thereof) to allergens to your diet to, unfortunately, the pregnancy hormones. Even if it's something that didn't bother you before, you might have new headache triggers due to the pregnancy. And make sure you go through the basics. Are you hydrated? Eating enough? Watching your stress cues? Stretching or doing yoga?

Knottie16288692 · July 2016

The only symptom that I'm experiencing is stomach muscle pain. It's like I did one too many sit ups! I didn't do this with my first and I've got my first appointment next week with my OB to check things out. Anybody else?

PerraSucia · July 2016

I puked so much at work I started crying in the bathroom.

My designer baby is not hitting expectations man.

HeatSparks · July 2016

@MonaLisaRalphio thanks, that actually was some logic I was missing. I'm fairly sure it's 90% hormonal, but yoga and maybe tracking my diet a little better are good ideas.

You might consider changing your username. The generic Knottie names make it hard to ID you and mention you in replies and such.

Babymakes5! · July 2016

I'm having a brief reprieve from nausea and vomiting. Have kept down water AND jello. Almost feel human!

WinchesterGirl · July 2016

@Babymakes5! Jello is one of life's great gifts to the morning sickness afflicted women of the world!
