Symptoms Thread: Week of 07/18

Sugargirl1019 · July 2016

The biggest symptom right now at 5+2 is the pounding heartbeat all the time at rest no matter what position I am in. It makes me feel like I have adrenaline going and um really nervous, but I'm not! I can't slow my HR down on my own either and make it pound less. It's uncomfortable!

My abs feel like sort of like I have been doing hardcore ab workouts, which I haven't... I feel like I read this one on another BMB once when I was lurking, but I've never really heard of such a feeling during early pregnancy before.
ETA - add words

Omg I thought it was just me... My whole stomach is tight not just where the baby is. And im not usually one for exercise so I couldn't figure it out.

Yes! It's like higher up than where my actual tummy is, like upper abs.

@sugargirl1019 my HR is also higher and sometimes hard to bring down. Yesterday I got a bit nervous on a conference call and it was a little scary how much my heart felt like it was racing.

MsTurney · July 2016

heartburn, sore breast and minor cramping for me!

ngcsugirl1112 · July 2016

Feel so nauseous this morning I can't lift my head off my desk in fear of getting sick

RunBooRun · July 2016

Not to rub it in, but my nausea vanished yesterday. Is that normal? Do you think it'll be back?

Edit: It's freaking me out a little...

Cats*in*space · July 2016

@katem @sandwichlover @rainafire77 I think it's your stomach you're feeling! Progesterone is causing our bodies to take longer to digest things, in order to more fully absorb nutrients. And this makes gas.

kjd291 · July 2016

@RunBooRun. Just try to enjoy it, because it'll most likely be back with a vengeance

the nausea usually comes in cycles for me. Few food days and then wham it's back and bad.

@RunBooRun WTE suggests regular exercise as a way to combat pregnancy fatigue - but how can we do that when our bodies are like, "F*ck that noise"??

@dubcompanion AMEN to this! I have still been going to yoga at 5:30am, but I come home, shower and want to go right back to bed!!

Also - ALL. THE. FOOD. I want all of it. I cannot stop eating, anything and everything. I know I am super early - but did anyone else experience this so early? haha

dubcompanion · July 2016

I'm noticing a pattern, you guys!! I get queasy right after breakfast. I wasn't nauseated with my previous pregnancy - which didn't work out - so I'm feeling sickeningly* optimistic!!

*Get it? Because like, I'm sick to my stomach, but I'm optimistic?? ....... Are there such things as "Mom jokes?" I feel compelled to invent them otherwise. They could be as corny and terrible as dad jokes! (And I'm not referring to "your mom" jokes.)

RunBooRun · July 2016

@dubcompanion
I could totally get behind mom jokes. I like puns far more than DH does and always make super corny jokes.

dubcompanion · July 2016

I, dubcompanion, am hereby dubbing mom jokes. It works, because Mr. Dubco loves himself some dad jokes!

mrsyimster · July 2016

off and on morning sickness... I really really don't want to eat anything. when I do eat its like. apple, potato. sprite, sparkling water. last night I actually had queso.. I feel SOO SO SICK. I try so hard not to throw up at work... anyone on the same boat? (usually, after I wake up, 10am-1pm, 3pm-i sleep)

mtmama2 · July 2016

Count me in on the Getting Winded Easily club! It is incredibly annoying! Running is basically the only exercise that I enjoy and I do A Lot of it. I actually ran a half marathon at 3 weeks because I had not turned a test yet so I thought we were out this cycle. I tried going for a quick 3 miles with DH the other night and I had to walk like 5 times! What gives?!?

dubcompanion · July 2016

MOM JOKE ALERT: One could say our energy is gone with the wind!!

I'll let myself out.

Does anyone else feel a weird 'pressure/fullness' at the very top of their abs (i.e.. where the ribs part)? I've had it the last week and I can't slouch anymore. It is such a strange feeling and hubby thinks I am a bit nuts right now...

I'm feeling the same thing. It feels weird & I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I do sometimes...I thought it was has? It makes me feel like I have to burp. Maybe also weird heartburn?

sammajane19 · July 2016

i've been MIA for the past week or so as i've been on vacation and we have really spotty wifi. BUT it's good to check in. the nausea and vomiting has started for me. two nights ago i threw up about 5 times in an hour and a half. it was absolutely brutal. i felt like death. i haven't thrown up since, but i have been pretty queasy on and off, especially after a big meal. so i'm sticking to snacking on light fare throughout the day - veggies, crackers, toast. my boobs are occasionally sore but not so bad. and i'm tired. but otherwise ok.

Jparisi926 · July 2016

Possible TW

Was surprised by a wipe of blood this afternoon. Continued to check for about 15 minutes and it was pink/brown in color. Have a little bit of cramping but nothing that would concern me otherwise. have a little bit of cramping but nothing that would concern me otherwise. FX for rando spotting and nothing serious!

CanadianintheSouth · July 2016

And the throwing up has begun. I hate my last week self "I'm worried I have no symptoms...". I want to punch that self in the face.

Schumerator · July 2016

@Jparisi926 thoughts and prayers for you that it's nothing at all!

dubcompanion · July 2016

@CanadianintheSouth On the bright side, you can't eat last week's words, because you'd just throw them right back up!

@Jparisi926 FX the spotting stops and it's nbd!

kjd291 · July 2016

Oh @dubcompanion the mom jokes... So good but so bad

@CanadianintheSouth perfect way to describe it. That's why I try to warn everyone to soak up those good days whenever you can!! ..but it's lots easier said than done. Sorry it's back

Scarlett830 · July 2016

FX for you @Jparisi926!

KellyT22 · July 2016

I had that weird horrible ab pain for the last 4 months with my first. It got unbearable...like I could relax.

Definitely having some mild RLPs now; knowing how much worse they can get is giving me a little PTSD.

My BF can attest to this fact. Lol I tell him it's payback.

girlmama83 · July 2016

I can't believe how sore my boobs are. I want to cry every time my toddler jumps on me. I can't even lay on my stomach.

Foersty · July 2016

Well, my nausea and sore boobs seem to have eased up...I'm still tired af all the time and still want to eat ALL the food. So I do eat all the food!

I've put on a bit of weight from that, I think, but that's alright, because I've finally quit puking!
ETA: Also, I MIGHT be a bit moody. DH and I took the HP sorting quizzes at Pottermore and got into a heated lively debate...because he called me a Hufflepuff when I am CLEARLY a Ravenclaw

dubcompanion · July 2016

@Foersty Getting up in arms at being called Hufflepuff when you're Ravenclaw isn't being moody. It's setting the record straight on things that matter!

Being called a Hufflepuff is fighting words in my book, but then again, I'm a Slytherin.

dubcompanion · July 2016

@Scarlett830 I'm a Gryffindor, so I'd just laugh at being called a Hufflepuff.

FierceEMT2014 · July 2016

Nausea and itchy skin!! Surprisingly the hospital I work at did all Cuban food today in the cafeteria and it was amazing, although it was mostly rice I had but still!

PattersRN · July 2016

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping? I can get to sleep fine but wake up at 2:30 or 3:30 like clock work....usually slightly nauseated. Ugh.

Anchov · July 2016

Mainly just boobs and peeing a lot....not craving sweets...thats weird for me

Jparisi926 · July 2016

Thanks ladies! @Schumerator @dubcompanion @scarlett830
no cramping and no other spotting so for now, I'll remain content.

Hey! @scarlett830 I was sorted Slytherin when potter more first came out with the quiz years ago. Now, I'm a Hufflepuff!
Just trying to do Nymphadora Tonks proud ya know?!

Yup that's me. Falling asleep on the couch at 8:30, but up by 4am on a good day.

Cats*in*space · July 2016

I'm not sure if this is a symptom, but at least an observation. Pre-pregnancy, you might describe me as having some hypochondriac tendencies. Google all the symptoms - it's always something life threatening - panic ensues. Since I've been pregnant.....I have felt so incredibly calm and laissez-faire. So odd.

GG620 · July 2016

@PattersRN YES! I have been falling asleep at 9pm, but wake up at 3:30/4am and just fidget and toss and turn. This morning DH says - geez you fidgeted a lot, will this be a normal thing? He might kick me to the guest room hahaha

Schumerator · July 2016

My boobs feel the most sore and heavy at night, it's insane! Like right now I could poke them and eh they are kinda sore but at night I can't even lay on them they are so sore! It's just weird. Also the nausea is never in the morning, always afternoon and night. Guess I need to get all my stuff done in the mornings when I feel best lol!

You're lucky you feel so relaxed!! I keep thinking I will get there but I am pretty sure I will always have some worry in the back of my head.

Knottie16288692 · July 2016

Anybody else spotting? I'm no longer cramping and I've seen my doctor to check on the baby. My doctor is on vacation but his nurse said it was no big deal. Just some implantation bleeding. But... this is going on 4 days now and its picked up a little. It was just when I wiped. Now I'm finding some in my underwear. Argh! I hate this! Other then that I have no symptoms. Well.. maybe I'm overly moody and anxious.
