I have the worst hair breakage ever! All around my face I have short hairs sticking straight up. It's horrible! I thought I was going crazy, till a friend told me the same thing happened to her. I hope it doesn't continue after baby.
This past weekend was like a rehash of 1st tri. After puking on Friday morning, I couldn't stay up past 8 pm on Friday or Saturday. Yesterday was better, but then I puked again this morning. Blerg. It's not an all day thing, really, so it's tolerable, but not fun nevertheless.
We'll see at my appointment tomorrow, but I don't think I've gained much, if any, weight yet as a result of all of this. That's a total change from my last pregnancy....
I've been having a lot of low back pain which is poor timing because the second trimester energy has hit me and I'm all "clean all the things"! I'm trying to pace myself and still get some things done. also, so.... hungry..... all the time. I'm gonna be a whale before this is all over.
Having some back pain that's different from what I had with DS, thinking might be left over from my flu/pneumonia episodes last fall. Seeing a chiropractor that specializes in prenatal women on Wednesday, hoping that will help. Otherwise just tired, not eating as much? But feeling mostly okay.

Definitely feeling the second trimester burst of energy, but the frequent peeing has not subsided. Also, there are still times when I feel like I have to go really bad and when I do only the smallest trickle comes out. Come on already!
Called midwife today (again) and they aren't worried about the spotting. Told me to call back if it turns red or I'm having painful cramping. I have an appointment already tomorrow, so she said that if I'm still spotting then, they'll do an exam.
I'm sorry to see that I'm not the only one who feels like they are back to 1st tri. I threw up everyday this weekend even when taking my meds, and I am supppppper tired. I'm SO SICK OF THROWING UP. I had a breakdown last night because I've about reached my breaking point with this MS. I had two good weeks, then this crap again.
I had pain this weekend right over my hips that sort of felt like cramps, so of course I was freaking out that something was wrong until I asked DH to rub the area and he couldn't figure out how to do it right. I had a surge of memory of having the same argument when I was pregnant with DD and instantly felt better. I mean my low back still hurt but at least I knew it was my muscles and not internal.
Haven't puked in over a week! It was immediately replaced with heartburn/indigestion though. Which makes me feel like puking. ugh. So so much fatigue and insomnia. I wake up every night at 12:30 and 3:30 it's so weird how almost exact the times are. I think I'm starting to feel some kicks here and there!
Heartburn. So much heartburn, all the time from everything. (decaf) coffee? heartburn. chocolate chip cookie? heartburn. indian food? heartburn. too much water? heartburn.
Seriously, I get heartburn from TOO MUCH WATER. Other than that, though, I really shouldn't complain. MS nonsense stopped at 10 weeks, and my hip pain has been so much better since starting physical therapy. But omg...

ok... (I already called the doc and is waiting to hear back)
So this morning I called the doc bc my Right leg in general since sunday has been having pain when im sitting, I have lay down or wtvr. So she told me to try to find a stool or a reclined position at my long hours of work sitting job.
My right foot feels (in my shoe) and looks visible more swollen than my left feet. even though I think my left feet is swelling a little bit too. I asked a few co worker and they can see it too.
I called the doc again. Pending response.
=/ did anyone before, or does anyone else have this issue?
@CanadianintheSouth Im with you with the morning sickness and the vomitting.
I've puked about 3 time today already, once while I was driving just couldnt hold it. I am so done with the MS and I so done with having to take meds for it that doesn't really help. even drinking water makes me want to vomit and Im so thirsty too : /
I still have the food aversions cant seem to find something to eat and once I do half way through I dont want it.
Starting to have insomnia was so tired this morning. I think thats it for now

@RunBooRun I'm putting my faith in your midwife and hoping they're right in not being concerned! Keep us posted.
My energy is back. My bladder seems okay during the day, but I'm still getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Clipping my toenails last night proved interesting because I have a bit of a bump to contend with now!! That was kind of cool. Sciatica and RLP, but meh - just means my body's going through the changes it ought to be going through!
Sympathies to those still super fatigued or dealing with puking. I hope things let up soon.
I am having a hard time believing it, because I was in such rough shape with my last pregnancy, but......I feel strangely great. I get tired a little easier, and I pee ALL THE TIME, but I feel so good otherwise. Last time I honestly thought people who talked about ever feeling good at any point in their pregnancy were lying, because I was miserable from about week 8 right up until delivery.
I'm so sorry for all of you that are still puking!FX it'll be done and over with soon!!!!!
Now that my bump has started creeping higher--so starts all the fun stuff that comes with baby crowding my ribcage and smooshing other organs: the fire breathing heartburn, weird difficulty breathing, peeing-then needing to pee the minute after because I was somehow unable to get it all out, and inability to eat more than a few bites before feeling full.
@DizzyMom are you sure it's hair breakage and not new hair? I have a lot of short hairs sticking up around my face and the rest of the top of my head (really noticeable around my part). My hairdresser said it was new hair growing in and that she sees it excessively in pregnant women, and women many months after they give birth (when you shed a ton of hair and then it eventually grows back, the growing back has to start somewhere). Either way, it's super annoying.
I'm feeling okay except that I have the worst hip and pelvis pain on the left side. I called the chiropractor and thank heavens above they can see me today after work. It's so painful and I have a newfound respect for the elderly.
and so I am now at the ER cus my doc didn't think the swelling and pain together is normal.
def right feet is a little more swollen than other, but getting a bunch of tests done now. Definitely a bit scared. Hope babies are ok. And I don't have DVF. Aka blood clot.
Yesterday I was achy and lethargic and today I finally had a little energy and got a bunch of stuff done. Other than that I've been hungry and less averse to food and cooking smells. I'm looking forward to my prenatal appointment tomorrow; it's the first one with the doctor.
Thinking of you @mrsyimster. I'm glad you went in to get checked out!! FX that you will get an update soon that all you need is more water and a few days off!!!!!!
Hunger, I am constantly hungry! The cramps start if I'm doing lots of walking, I'm trying to drink more water but I can't pee every 20 min when I'm in class all day, it's a no win situation. Tried to stop my diclegis, being 16 weeks I thought, surely the MS has passed... nope! I was hoping I could get off it because I want some energy back but no luck yet.
we did ultrasound on entire leg blood vessels and babies. Blood test. Urine test.
No blood clots thank goodness!!!!!!!!! Babies look fine to me! But They didn't take measurements. Just looked to see if they were active and heart was good, blood flow was good. I don't know much but radiologist had to look at it
i still have a dull ache pain on my lower pelvic and weakness of leg
Right feet still look a bit swollen (attaching picture)
but ER doc thinks it's just round ligament pain and nothing serious. Apparently I have a mild UTI too
thanks everyone!!!!!
MFM still has to do measurements on babies on Friday. Hope they will measure better.
@mrsyimster I'm sorry you had to go through that predicament! I'm glad everything came back relatively normal. I hope you can get comfortable. And I feel you about the medical bills... but at the end of the day, it's just money, and yours and the babies health is much more important.
**preaching to myself here too...as I am still paying of my last kid's birth, and have these bills rolling in**
@mrsyimster glad to hear the LO is ok!! Hope your swelling goes down soon and that they figure out what it was!
The last three/four days I've been waking up at like 2am wide awake and can't fall back asleep until like 6. I'm pretty sure it's jet lag, but still it's killing me!! I've even been avoiding naps and trying to still be active during the day. :-/ also had a mad headache, but hoping that's because of the sleep deprivation.
on the upside, at least I still have more energy than I did the 1st trimester!
@librarymom917 I am also taking diclegis and because I had some good days and I was tired of taking meds I decided to stop taking the diclegis thinking I shoukd be okay. Boy was I wrong I had such a crap day yesterday and Im back to taking the diclegis and I will say I feel little better.
@mrsyimster I'm so glad there are no blood clots and that babies are active & heartbeats look good!! FX for a good appt. with your MFM on Friday! I hope the swelling goes down soon.

Horrible lower back pain. I did a 5k with my 1yo and 4yo this past Saturday (we won medals!) but I was COOKED. Back pain was terrible.
I am exhausted as well.
And I am STARVING today
It was immediately replaced with heartburn/indigestion though. Which makes me feel like puking. ugh.
