Symptoms Thread: Week of 07/11/16

gracie4400 · July 2016

My physical symptoms so far have been pretty mild. Definitely peeing more and having some mild cramping but not very painful. My emotions on the other hand are all out of whack. I'm constantly up then down, and the littlest things that normally would never bother me and throwing me off the deep end. I quit smoking 10 days ago so I don't think that's helping my emotional state either

For those of you struggling with MS--chat with a nurse about the B6 / Unisom combo. It's over the counter, but better to ask anyway. I finally caved and pulled it out from my medicine cabinet from my last pregnancy and I feel like a different woman today.

I even just took B6 last time, and it made a huge difference for me. If/when nausea hits this time, I'll be quicker to try the B6 again.

Cramping twinges all on the low right side.. I believe they may have been going on for the past 3 days now.

Sugargirl1019 · July 2016

Now I'm experiencing a lot of heavy fullness especially high up inside.. and courtesy of the TTGP board and the CP discussion, felt my cervix which is extremely low and feels very firm and swollen almost. The cervical wall.. not the tip. I'm like well that must be where the heaviness is coming from! Still having a few twinges here and there. And peeing a lot. Now if I could have more commonly discussed symptoms, that'd be great. Anyone else have these uterus feelings?

Cats*in*space · July 2016

@Sugargirl1019 I totally felt that last week, which was week 5 for me. So aware of my uterus and could feel it when I sat down. I'm not noticing it this week, however.

irishrose54 · July 2016

My symptoms are all over the place. Last week I was super gaggy and feeling super tired. This week I have a ton of saliva but no gagging. I feel much better this week but of course that worries me a ton. hoping for good results tomorrow at my first ultrasound despite all my worry. Symptoms make me feel better mentally. Oh btw one boob is getting larger but the other one is not- I'm totally afraid this mismatched rate will continue!! That would be so odd to deal with. Anyone have this before? Wtf...lol.

mittenlove86 · July 2016

@Sugargirl1019 I had that for a couple days last week, maybe around 4w5d, but I haven't really had it the last day or two

KellyT22 · July 2016

@sugargirl1019 I have all the uterus feelings! It's awful and scary. Give me puking! Give me exhaustion! Anything but this (and my spotting).

catrb89 · July 2016

Some moments of nausea, but nothing too intense. My boobs started really hurting this week. I'm sure I was a great sight running through the hospital campus in the rain,holding my boobs. The bloating is on and off, as is the frequent urinating. I'm definitely ready to have a bump and not just look like I'm getting fat! I've been moody as hell, too. I found out the doc I was so excited to see in 2 1/2 weeks isn't in network with my insurance and spent a good hour crying and looking at the BCBS site for a new one.

catrb89 · July 2016

@Sugargirl1019 i've definitely had some pressure and feeling "full" in my uterus. From what I hear, it's pretty normal though, as long as it's not really painful

Schumerator · July 2016

Alright guys. I'm officially apart of the bloat club. My shorts felt a little snug today and after dinner I completely unbuttoned them on the drive home! It was painful! I thought I was doing pretty well up until this point lol

kiyamurph · July 2016

Like a lot of other people, I've been having some mild cramping. Also tired as all get out. After I eat lunch at work I'm ready to lie down and take a big ole nap. Why can't we have siestas in the US?!

ngcsugirl1112 · July 2016

Nausea central this morning! Eating some dry Cheerios and drinking ginger ale in hopes of making it go away

RunBooRun · July 2016

I'm only 3 weeks+5, but I'm so nauseous. I haven't actually vomited, but I just have this underlying all day nausea. It seems to be better if I eat more frequently, so I'm going to try that. Plus ginger gum.

Nothing is appetizing right now and I can't seem to eat much volume at one time. I'm peeing frequently and can't seem to sleep. Ugh.

milanjayla · July 2016

I'm feeling quite bloated. i am 4 weeks and 5 days today. I also have a lot of nausea and muscle pain. My boob soreness comes and goes.

irishrose54 · July 2016

@Schumerator my pants are already getting snug and I look pregnant. Way too early!!!! Bloat is the worrrrst. I also got word to not to any "intense" exercise bc I have a cyst so I am afraid to do anything besides walking. I feel icky lol

Schumerator · July 2016

@irishrose54 hahaha no you are not a fatty, no negative self talk! It's all apart of the process I guess

irishrose54 · July 2016

@Schumerator lol! I went back and changed that comment bc I realize I was being mean to myself so I agree. Thanks lady!

Schumerator · July 2016

@irishrose54 Lol no problem! And I hope nothing goes wrong with your cyst! I'm currently nervous about intense exercising and have been taking it verrrrry easy, but hoping I can do a little more after I have my first appointment! I want to work out as much as possible while I still have the energy! I've just been walking and light weights since I found out though.

irishrose54 · July 2016

@Schumerator the dr seemed pretty chill about it so I am not too worried. She said it will probably resolve itself and if it doesn't then it just hangs around. She didn't seem to think it was a problem but I'm not happy about not excerxising. Oh well. Safety first I suppose!

Cats*in*space · July 2016

@irishrose54 I had a cyst that ruptured 10dpo. We found out we were pregnant at the ER. I joke that the baby's theme song is "i came in like a wrecking ball!"

irishrose54 · July 2016

@jmn1985 oh my gosh that's too funny!! So it hurts when it ruptures I guess. Darn lol.

Spartanrd4 · July 2016

I'm not as bloated this time than I was my last pregnancy- I think by 7 weeks my pants were tight and I was already doing the button trick. I was wearing a belly band by 9 weeks. So far so good this time around.

ngcsugirl1112 · July 2016

Forgot my sense of smell is crazy....this is so incredibly gross, but when I use the restroom at work, the sanitary disposal is BAD

ngcsugirl1112 · July 2016

When you go over speed bumps slow and it still hurts your boobs....#thestruggleisreal

weareturtles · July 2016

I can deal with most of the symptoms I've been having - sore boobs, intermittent cramping, queasiness, loss of appetite, gas, and recent spotting, but the ones I cannot stand are the bloating and the breakouts! My god my skin looks like I am a teenager going through puberty. I am embarrassed! I had to change my skin care regimen when we started TTC and it seemed fine for a while until after O.

How are other folks handing their breakouts?

I will say I feel fortunate that I've been little more than queasy and haven't thrown up yet and I have had no cravings or aversions really, nor have I had constipation issues (hopefully that is thanks to a mixture of fiber in my diet, exercise and water consumption). I would hate to be bloated and constipated - ick!

Seriously. Everyone's boobs hurt, why don't mine?! Think it has anything to do with me still nursing? Strange!

Mine don't hurt either, and I'm still nursing too. Does having a LO act like a vampire bat with the boobs deaden them?

Schumerator · July 2016

I need ALL. THE. LIQUIDS! Am I the only one? I'm sooo thirsty all the time which is ridiculous because I drink so much water all the time. But I'm craving juice and lemonade mmmmm! I want one right now! I'm trying to do no soda this pregnancy, and in general, but a Sprite would be amazing too

I'm not sure. I feel more pain that usual when My son hits me in the boob, but that's it. Also I can feel my letdowns...which is totally weird for me, I have never been able to feel letdown for the last17 months! But no real soreness here, either. I'm taking it as a blessing and moving on.

Cats*in*space · July 2016

@weareturtles I was (and still am) expecting my acne to be terrible. My skin was TERRIBLE when I went off BC. The really deep, hormonal, cystic type acne. I got a clairisonic and I really think its making all the difference for me. We'll see how long it lasts!

kjd291 · July 2016

@Schumerator I'm super thirsty all the time. But equally don't want anything to drink. Water sounds gross. Uhhh. Also doing lemonaid. I can usually drink water before bed, which is good because I get my fluids, but bad because I'm up all night peeing

rainafire77 · July 2016

Exhausted all the time. I'm allowed 1 cup of coffee (otherwise severe migraines) and it about kills me to not drink more. Boobs are so sore. Constipation problems off & on, bloating, general achiness and constant nausea but no throwing up yet. I almost wish I would to just get it over with!!! This is way different than when I had my DD. Then I didn't have any symptoms until 2nd trimester.

Lizer514 · July 2016

@Schumerator me too me too!! I've drank almost 2L of water today and it's driving me crazy. I have to pee more often as it is but now adding all the water to quench this thirst is making me pee like a crazy person.

I'm in the had sore boobs last week, this week not so much club. I keep poking at them to see where they stand lol.
I'm also having intermittent cramping mostly in the center lower abdomen but sometimes it starts going out to the sides (which makes them kinda feel like AF) and I get freaked out. Its so hard to not over analyze cramps
And I'm exhusted ..the end

Still having cramping and twinge-y little pains in my uterus, but like @longliveregina, I am wondering if this is a muscle memory (and 10 months post c section) thing? Very slight spotting is continuing, but it hasn't gotten any worse. FX for no more spotting. The spotting/cramping combo is MEAN.

I was wondering this very thing, too. I'm 2.5 years past a c-section, so is it possibly muscle memory and scar tissue from the incision? I'll have to ask my doc when I do finally get an appointment.

GoldenTMama · July 2016

I no longer need an alarm clock, my morning sickness wakes me up...even on the weekends

Sugargirl1019 · July 2016

Count me in the club of "boobs NOT hurting". I'm not breastfeeding either, (TW) but I am coming from a loss. Does that have anything to do with it? They stopped hurting 3dpo. I was like nope not pregnant! But here I am. I still have moments where I'm like nope not pregnant! But I haven't tested either because I don't want to torture myself. I don't have my period.. so.. that must count for something.

kjd291 · July 2016

paranoia/anxiety. every time you go to the bathroom and wipe you do a double take because you're terrified you'll see spotting. It's gonna be a long few weeks till my ultrasound

take that back. Long 7 months. ...oh wait... Even when they're born there is always something to be anxious about. Ughhh.

dubcompanion · July 2016

@kjd291 I do the same thing!! Cramping has considerably decreased the past several days, but I'm still somehow terrified that if I wipe, I'll see blood.

I know that we'll keep worrying long after they've left the womb, but first, I need to get to the stage where there's actually a bump!

Golferbee · July 2016

Has anyone had sore nipples but not breasts? Like, my nipples are sore to the touch, but nothing else! I didn't have this w my first.

CanadianintheSouth · July 2016

@Sugargirl1019 me too! No boobs hurting, only reason I knew I was pregnant is because I missed my period. For a week and half I was convinced I couldn't actually be pregnant because I felt great. My dr. told me boobs tend to be less sensitive the second time around.

Nausea is starting to show up, not throwing up yet but gagging at certain smells. I'm 6 weeks, and I didn't throw up until 7 weeks with my first, so I'm guessing that is right around the corner.
