Thank you @NurseK2016@L1C4gal@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot@pshaortao Makes me feel better I'm not alone, I almost felt bad posting... seems almost boastful to say I haven't had bad symptoms or MS! My first u/s is tomorrow, so hopefully that appt will go well, and I'll feel better after talking to the Dr.
Don't worry @Jenshoes I didn't see it as boastful. If we have symptoms, we worry; if we don't, we worry; if there's something wrong we're freaked out; and if there's nothing wrong we get anxious. It's a normal part of the process, I think. You're totally in the right for feeling how you feel and expressing it. I wouldn't, however, give you my nausea, because it really is awful so try to stay positive!
@jenshoes I was totally with you last week. Let me tell you, you don't want it! (I totally get the anxiety so don't feel bad about "wanting to feel something"). It doesn't help that I'm a HUGE WEENIE about nausea - I would rather have 100 other things wrong than that. But man. It's tough. What a cruel joke that a baby makes you feel so bad when you can't tell anyone why you're feeling/acting so cruddy/tired.
Oh man I just had a total pregnant win. I just got turned away from my dentist because they don't do cleanings in the first tri so I'm stopping at Waffle House on my way back to work.
I never heard of the no cleanings thing but I'll take it because I hate going and now I get to put it off for two months!
@WombThereItIs that's so nice! I'm due for a cleaning this month but since I have to find a new dentist and all (relocated), I'm going to put it off until 2nd tri. That way I don't have to do the next one until after May.
@chickyclg yeah I think it falls under "holy crap this happens early the second time"! I keep complaining to my husband about how it seems too early for round ligament pain compared to last time and he assures me that all the fun stuff starts early once your body has been through it before.
The round ligament pain! WTF? I didn't get that until mid 2nd trimester last time and I'm already having trouble with it at night while trying to sleep. Among many other things popping up very early this go around. My body's like "oh, I've got this...I know what to do. Let's make room for this baby BEFORE it needs it!"
@WombThereItIs - I had never heard of this either, until I went to the dentist while pregnant with my son. I happened to be in my 2nd tri, which is apparently the only tri in which they do dental cleanings! Also, now I really want waffles. And I had 2 this morning already.

My dentist office does cleanings during first tri. They just won't do xrays. Xrays are fine but they say most people prefer to opt out in an abundance of caution, so they just stopped doing them unless there's an urgent need.

Ditto on the RLP. I get it just from standing up too fast from the couch to whatever. Not so bad, but the first time was already at 6 weeks. I was like seriously?? My only hope is that it won't last as long
I decided to opt out this year and will just wear the stupid mask at the hospital. This year's flu vaccine is new (not from the H1N1 patient from a few years back that they've been using for the last several years) and I'd rather see how it turns out.
What do you mean when you say, "I'd rather see how it turns out?"
Just that I'd like to see its effectiveness this year. I, too, am pro-vaccines but get nervous when the formulas start getting messed with.

I still don't understand what you mean. Do you mean you're going to risk catching the flu while pregnant in order to tell whether the vaccine was 25%, 50%, or 75% effective? I think anything >1% effective is worth the protection. Also, do you work in a hospital? Do you see sick patients, kids, the elderly, or anyone else who might see sick ppl, kids, or the elderly? Oy.

I am a registered nurse and work in a hospital. I'm protecting myself and pregnancy and patients until I feel this year's vaccine is safe enough for me. There's nothing wrong with being cautious and reading up on things... Luckily I'm able to give it a little time as I no longer work in trauma/critical care where the exposure and risk is too great.
Anyone just have symptoms disappear? I've had horrible morning sickness for a few weeks and sore boobs and exhaustion. Then yesterday everything was back to normal. No ms, boobs don't hurt, I only slept 5 hours the past two nights and I'm doing fine. I read through this whole thread hoping to see at least someone else post this! I'm 9w3d today.
Anyone else having symptoms declining/going away completely? Monday marked week 10, and my nausea didn't show up once all week (it wasn't ever really thaaaaat bad to begin with though) and my energy seems to be coming back. Is that normal for this point? The anxiety prone part of me is a little nervous about it!
@FlyChick@CherylE418. My symptoms have come and gone this whole pregnancy, it definitely messes with my head. Thankfully I'm still on weekly U/S so we know everything is ok.
@FlyChick@CherylE418 Yes, are most likely just done with morning sickness! With my first pregnancy, nausea went away pretty much right at 9 weeks. Consider yourselves lucky!

Ooh... I hope I get to join you ladies! The nausea started kicking in at night about 2?weeks ago! Ugh. 10 weeks on Tuesday (FX).
@Jenshoes I'm 10 weeks and didn't have much MS at all, a few waves of it if I let myself get too hungry. I heard the heartbeat at the doctors office on Thursday and that really eased my mind!!
@CajunSnowWhite89 I'm calling my nipples torpedo nipples. The minute my shirt comes off there they are ! It's super weird since that didn't happen w number 1. I second whoever said this much back pain better not continue because w ds I had it late second tri now it's almost every day
@FlyChick and @CherylE418 - Same thing happened to me at 9.5 weeks and it freaked me out, but every so often I get some nausea waves and that helps calm me a bit. Can't wait for that next u/s though for solid reassurance.
