2. Really tight sore calves.
3. Rant: I'm unable to go to work AGAIN due to MS (ha!). It's getting really demoralizing to be throwing up 5-6 times a day on a good day. Days like today make me cry and just need this to be over. The dr and Internet are out of ideas so I'm suck in nausea hell, bonding with my toilet.

2. Any new symptoms this week? My back is suddenly killing me this morning, also the constant headaches are a fun new symptom.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns? Anyone else have back pain issues? At what point should back pain be concerning?

2. No new symptoms- just m/s revving it's engine.
3. See above. I'm so mad and upset. I thought I was doing better but then spent the weekend with my head in a toilet. And peeing the floor because I couldn't control my m-fing bladder as I did the said puking

2. Any new symptoms this week? nothing new

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns? I'm just sick of being nauseous. I'm trying the Unisom and B6 but it honestly isn't doing anything. I'm lucky that I only throw up like every other day but I still am nauseous from when I wake up to when I go to sleep at night and it's really wearing me down.

2. When I've sat all curled up for awhile and try to get up, it feels like my hips have become disconnected and it takes a minute before I can actually walk/move. I'm saying this is pregnancy related and not out of shape/age related.

3. It's time for MS to go away and stay away. I upp'd my Diclegis to the 4/day and did actually feel human all day yesterday and so far today. Drinking water still makes me sick even with the 4/day, but yesterday I had good results with 3 cups of morning sickness tea (1 hot and 2 cold) and lemonade, so I'm trying that again today. I've reached the point where I just need liquids even if it's not straight water.

2. Any new symptoms this week? Phantosmia...anyone else ever have that? It's super weird and it's really bothering me. Today I keep smelling a sour smell for no freaking reason.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns? No real rants or raves. Just hoping this phantosmia goes away soon, 2 weeks ago I kept smelling a smell like something was burnt....but no one else could smell anything and nothing had been burnt, last week I kept smelling gas...now it's a sour smell. I hate this. Asking my doctor about it at my appointment next Monday.

kirstynikole · August 2016

1. 10 weeks 5 days

2. Puking has now become a multiple times a day ordeal and I'm thinking its time to call the OB for some meds.

3. All food sounds disgusting. Hate that I have to keep forcing myself to eat crap when I have no desire to do so. Actually, one thing I would kill for is a gyro and hummus, but the closest one is an hour away.

Nausea has reared its ugly head and come back with a vengeance as I'm also vomitting. I feel so yucky. I really thought I was out of the woods when I had close to no nausea since the beginning.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
annoyed with the heartburn too. Looking forward to getting my prescription of Zantac. Tums will only help for so long.

MrsDramaK · August 2016

Anyone else start crying over nothing recently? Someone on my newsfeed posted an old school Disney commercial on FB and I cried. I didn't even have the volume on when watching it, still cried.

I cry at everything. Anything remotely emotional pops up on my apps or tv and I get all teary eyed. It's also a little worse than that too... Today, my son woke up an hour early from his nap and I started crying cause I wanted more me time, lol.

Ah23 · August 2016

2. Nothing new, just continued nausea and vomiting since 6 weeks.

3. Taking diclegis 4x a day and I really don't know if it's helping but I'm not about to stop it to find out. So ready to start feeling human again but afraid that won't happen for awhile!

Xstatic3333 · August 2016

1. 13 weeks

2. Crazy hunger and dizziness when I stand up. Otherwise, I'm lucky to have gotten some second tri relief!

3. @MrsDramaK I'm crying at the drop of a hat. It's so annoying!

Starfish113 · August 2016

2. So nauseous all the time. Still puking. So sick of it! But if it's like my last pregnancy I have 12 more weeks of this hooray.
3. I just like this thread of have a weekly place to bitch and whine

CornchipLA · August 2016

@mrsdramak. I had major lower back pain out of nowhere one day and was so worried. Turned out it was just my newest symptom of severe gas. I hope yours goes away quickly.

Scifichick ck I had it for a few days. Just s burning smell.

fourPsinapod · August 2016

13w5d.

I keep feeling bubbles every now and again near my uterus. My normal rational brain says its gas but it's so sporadic that I wondered if it was more stretching or movement. I'm a STM and I know it's wayyyyy too early to actually feel baby movements (I think I was almost 20 weeks with DD when I felt anything) but it just caught me off guard like "What is this?!" but I'm sticking with the gas/stretching method for now. I guess as a side note to 3TM+, when did you actually feel convinced that you felt movements from baby?

Nothing cool to add as a rant.

Starfish113 · August 2016

I've heard you feel them earlier in subsequent pregnancies because you know what it feels like now. So maybe!

MrsDramaK · August 2016

@CornchipLA Wait. My back pain went away like 7 hours ago and I've had terrible gas pain since. I thought the two were unrelated but now it's making sense.

2. Any new symptoms this week?
My boobs! Holy hell do my nipples hurt. It's mostly when I lie down and put pressure on my chest, or when I go into the cooler at work but it can be excruciating at times.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
My one rave, my appetite is slowly coming back! I still get nauseous at various points through the day, but I can eat a decent amount now.

lfrank12 · August 2016

I woke up at 3 am this morning after having the most vivid, graphic & disturbing nightmare I've ever had. My heart was racing and I almost cried once awake. Can I just go back to the vivid silly dreams please??v

Vastra · August 2016

@fourPsinapod I had some weird bubbling too- I could feel it with my hand, right above my ute. I don't know if it's gas or ute stretching or what but crazy, right? I'm FTM so it sort of freaked me out.

I keep having this brief but incredibly intense raging nipple pain. I think it has to do with still wearing regular bras when I'm not quite fitting in them any more. Mastitis crossed my mind, but can you even get it if you're not BF yet? It comes and goes, maybe once every couple of days. Lasts a few minutes then goes away.

2. Any new symptoms this week?
I have been wicked lucky with symptoms and haven't really had too many. This week I am just not hungry. I'm not nauseous or sick I just always feel full. I am also crying at everything too... it's fun to explain to my fiancé that I'm not actually upset, he just put the popsicles on the wrong side of the freezer.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
I'm kind of annoyed with how annoyed I am with everyone. Why is my fuse so short? My friend/co-worker who is nothing but friendly and upbeat can say something totally normal and relevant to our conversation and in my brain I want to punch her. Luckily she knows I'm pregnant and understands

2. Any new symptoms this week? HEADACHES!!! and I blame this constant rain and humidity too

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns? I'm trying to be patient and wait to find out the gender, but I want to know already!!!! lol. I need to shop and start the nursery and confirm baby's name! I am just so excited

2. I ruptured a cyst and pulled my groin early last week so now any time i sneeze, cough or throw up there is some pain which isn't fun. Also, headaches have gotten bad, but I'm weaning off my anti emetics and am finding the level of nausea and vomiting seems to be "normal" at pretty constant nausea but only vomiting 3-5ish times per day so I'm thankful for that.
3. Of course, my HG seems to be leveling off when I have an appointment with a specialist tomorrow, I'm still going to go and talk preventative measures in case this is just a false hope period. I have my NT scan Thursday and am so excited.

CornchipLA · August 2016

@ jlellis I'm also 11 weeks and I'm feeling hateful. My assistant probably is calling me names behind my back and I cried to my SO this AM that if he wants to break up with me he should just do it. Ohhhh crazy! Once I calmed down I advised him that this hormone shit is twice as hard on this side!

SawyerRichardson · August 2016

1. How far along are you?
12 weeks today

2. Any new symptoms this week?
Some serious aversions. I can't stand the smell of garlic, which I usually LOVE. Also just the idea of food in general annoys me. My husband and I went grocery shopping on Sunday and I was having a 2 year old temper tantrum in the isle because I didn't want to think about what to eat this week.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
Add me to the annoyed with everything camp. My coworkers thinks it's so funny because I'm usually all rainbows and sunshine and not easily annoyed. Now his week every little thing one of our patients does sets me off! Hopefully this passes soon, I don't like being grumpy..

Xstatic3333 · August 2016

I was horribly nauseous all day today after being pretty sure I was past all that a couple of weeks ago.

Rational brain: Pregnancy is weird. Must be an off day. This sucks.

Non-rational brain: Something is wrong with my placenta.

expandcontract · August 2016

2. Diarrhea. Just got fired from work so my post-concussion headache is a lot worse and I have diarrhea from the stress. I know everything happens for a reason and God will open up new and better opportunities. So I'm doing my best to stay positive.

3. At least now I'll have time start that baby registry, right??
Also, I'm not even sure if I should even look for new jobs. Like, is anyone going to actually hire me while I'm pregnant??

Curran1010 · August 2016

1) 12+5
2) I felt pretty good week 11 and 12 but past few days iv felt tired, nauseous, and have thrown up a couple of times. I'm also really dizzy now, especially after I stand up.
3) The heat. This 90 degree + weather can go away now. Especially with two toddlers and a diaper bag hanging on me! I'm ready for fall!!

Lafreeman21 · August 2016

@jlellis603 @SawyerRichardson +1 to the angry crying and temper tantrums. Last night I started crying because I was tired and couldn't fall asleep.

@AfKash I have an interview Friday, and I pretty much don't wanna go. My suit jacket doesn't fit anymore, and I have no desire to pay $100+ for one. Wondering if I should buy a maternity blazer and pad myself up to look 6 months instead of 3, lol.

Partyof6? · August 2016

1. 10w5d by my lmp, 11w6d by my last ultrasound

2. Headaches that are constant. Nausea is less frequent but more intense than it was. I know it's crazy early, but I think I am feeling movement. It's usually only early morning, just a wiggling feeling inside. This is my fourth baby, so it could be.

3. I am having a love hate relationship with my Doppler. I found little bean's heartbeat last week after a couple days without success but hadn't tried again until today. Nothing. I will try again at bedtime or tomorrow and know it's early, just was hoping to get it again after finding it once.

expandcontract · August 2016

Is anybody else having "second dinners?" I'll eat dinner at like 7-8 pm. And then I'll wake up in the middle of the night starving. So I eat a full meal again. I'm starting to worry that i might gain too much weight. But I'm starving!!

yogadevil · August 2016

2. Weird random pulsating in my uterus. Still on bedrest for another week or so. And for the first time in over 2 years I'm coming down with a cold, causing uterus-clutching sneezing. I havnt even left the house for 10ish days save for Dr appointments so i have noclue where this crap came from. I feel like this pregnancy has been one hit after another. Oh, and despite all the mucus I'm super horny and can't do a dang thing about it due to pelvic rest

3. We're moving in less than 3 weeks and DH has been uh-mazing at spearheading all the packing! I was convinced we'd need to hire that out since I'm not supposed to do anything and he's been rolling with it without complaining one bit. What a stud

mrslittlemac · August 2016

1. How far along are you?
14w 2d based on last ultrasound.

2. Any new symptoms this week?
Still getting sick but it's been a few days since I've bothered with Zofran--the headaches aren't worth it. I've also become convinced that I'm growing a mermaid instead of a kid. I'm all kinds of sore and grumpy unless I'm in the bath. I wish I could sleep in there!

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
Random twitchy spasms in my hands. Mostly notice it when I'm bumping or facebooking on my phone, my fingers will just sort of spaz and usually drag across the screen. Yesterday it happened while I was carrying a glass bottle to the shopping cart, I dropped it and it exploded on the floor. Mortified!

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

1. How far along are you?

2. Any new symptoms this week?
TMI - I have a vericose vein in the very tender location of my lady bits... It is freaking uncomfortable. More so since I had a pelvic exam yesterday. I thought it was just weird stretching where the stitches from baby #1 were but my midwife was like um no it's a vericose vein.

3. Rants/raves/questions/concerns?
Really just ready for the weekend. But I did sleep well yesterday!!

scifichick09 · August 2016

@AfKash count me in on the second dinner. I don't really have another full meal, but I definitely get up hungry and have to go eat something. Usually a sandwich or something will do the trick.

Babymakes5! · August 2016

Ugh k I have a complaint and I feel like an ass. My HG does seem to be letting up so I feel bad complaining now because two weeks ago me would have kicked now me. But I have gone from throwing up 20+ times a day, to once yesterday but SO violently and painfully and for 15 minutes straight, it used to be "easier" puking, now its so violent my throat is swollen and so so sore from the amount of acid and wretching. Its awful. My body/ throat hurts worse from one puke session now than it did from 20 weeks ago. Not cool.

Gretchypoo · August 2016

11+5 here. I'm finally starting to feel human occasionally. I'm so sorry for you ladies with HG. I'm just nauseated constantly and I gag all the time, but so far no puking. I though that was bad.

we got to see baby last week on the ultrasound and omg is this baby a wiggler! they couldn't get a great picture as baby was in a weird position but we saw the heartbeat and tons of movement. I'm still on a high from it!

expandcontract · August 2016

My headache was relieved for about two hours today but it just came back with a vengeance. Whenever I move, it feels like my brain is shaking inside my skull. I've tried everything at this point, codeine, hydration, caffeine, rest.

I also have this cold sore that I just can't shake. I use Abreva, it goes away for 3-4 days and then comes right back.

And lastly, where is my pregnancy glow? The shiny hair? Strong nails? Nada!! My skin is dry and itchy, with a few pimples (even though I don't normally get pimples). My hair has never been so dry as now. And my nails bend and break so easily!
I feel bad complaining but feel like I need to vent. Overall though, I'm incredibly grateful to be pregnant. In the end, that's all that matters. Thank you for reading my rant. Xoxo

MLRocha · August 2016

@AfKash - Same boat today. Woke up with a headache that slightly improved with my morning coffee... But is now back so bad that looking at the computer screen is bothering me.

Also, got a cold sore this week. I don't usually get them unless I let myself get really dehydrated, drink way too much caffeine or stress out for a few days in a row. Maybe I've been more worried about the genetic testing than I thought... I'd usually be loading up on zinc and lysine but haven't bothered to look up if they are allowed.

The NP at my appointment this morning "pregnancy isn't for everyone". Thank you?
