What's got you feeling less than your wonderful self this week?

Any happy symptoms got you feeling like it's fun to be growing a human?

bww_0331 · October 2016

Still exhausted at night, but the last two nights have been better. Some heartburn. The last two days I feel like I just can't eat enough. I legitimately got sad when my cereal was gone this morning. And just now when I finished my snack. Guess it's a good thing I don't keep a bunch of food in my drawers at school!

Is anyone else still having a hard time with liquids? I really can only stomach orange juice. Yay for folic acid, but at some point, maybe water might be nice?

HGRich · October 2016

So much bloat. Also the nausea has lessened some more from last week but still gagging in the morning before I eat and still suffering pretty constantly from dysgeusia. The exhaustion is real. I feel like I can't get enough sleep and I don't have the energy for errands and chores. Peeing allllll the time. Headaches have begun. Had a few of those over the weekend.

Nightmares and super inappropriate dreams have made sleep interesting.

Otherwise things have calmed down and I'm so grateful. The aches and cramps especially. I still get twinges but it's not constant.

beemaya83 · October 2016

Still experiencing some nausea. With my first, it went away at 15 weeks. Hope its the same this time around.

kitkat8387 · October 2016

Nausea is improving slowly, so I tried weaning off the diclegis this week. Big fail - first day I reduced my dosage, I threw up my breakfast. So I am going to stay on my current dose (4/day) and try again in a week. The way I see it is it's perfectly safe, and its covered by my insurance, so if it makes me feel better I am going to continue. Only downside is it makes me tired but I would rather be tired than throwing up, without question. I feel like something is wrong with me that I am still nauseous at 16 weeks which is frustrating though.

Starting to feel what I think is round ligament pain (stretching/pulling sensations on my sides) but it's not necessarily painful, I am just aware of it. Needing to pee constantly is also getting better! I think it's because the uterus is moving up and pressing on the bladder less? Who knows. Whatever the reason, I am grateful

Yes!!!

I thought I was less nauseous this week (13 weeks), but I just had to have my husband leave work to come pick me up because we had a field trip and the school bus on the way just about did me in. I couldn't fathom riding it back to school again. I left my kiddos with another teacher and I haven't even told my principal yet. I can't stop crying about the whole morning.

On a positive note, my hair looks amazing lately and I can go longer without washing in between.

twistsandturnsto2 · October 2016

Can't. Stop. Drinking. Pickle Juice, lol

KirstinH88 · October 2016

@twistsandturnsto2 Pickle juice is so good! Pregnant or not!

Beckyf321 · October 2016

@kitkat8387 , I'm on medication pretty much throughout my pregnancies and sadly, it's completely normal for some women. =/ I'm a couple weeks behind you, but I still throw up a couple of mornings a week. Hang in there, mama.

smallanimal · October 2016

My symptoms seem to have gone away last week. Boobs deflated. Bloat gone. I should be happy but I am rather worried. Although this morning I did throw up (rare thing- only third time since I am pregnant), so weirdly, that made me feel better.... Also having nightmares from aliens to killers to miscarriages ALL the time! Scary.

cafedisco · October 2016

@smallanimal with you on the nightmares. Nature is very cruel to not at least let pregnant women get some good sleep, IMO.

nwshay · October 2016

Headaches. So. Many. Headaches. Every day.

And nightmares.

You know, really enjoyable things

HGRich · October 2016

Yes.

I've had two miscarriage nightmares along with my serial killer nightmares. And zombies. But I did have one dream of giving birth to a healthy baby boy that made up for it a little.

HappyAnjel · October 2016

Still throwing up like it's my job. Heartburn and indigestion added this week as well.

@kcasset have you tried mixing water with lemonade or something similar? that seems to help me get a little bit down.

nwshay · October 2016

That definitely makes up for it @HGRich

You and me with these serial killer nightmares! What is up with us? Haha. Oh yeah. Hormones raging through our bodies. Maybe it's a PGAL thing too. Just general worry.

schef070911 · October 2016

A few minutes ago I was sitting at my desk at work when for a period of 4-5 seconds I felt like my heart was pounding really fast and doing flip-flops. Then back to complete normal. Apparently those are heart palpitations and are normal during pregnancy due to increased blood volume - has anyone else experienced those? They don't sound serious (especially since I don't have any known heart issues) but they were kinda freaky!!
Edited:typos

mylittleirvz · October 2016

@schef070911, Yes! I have been experiencing those every so often the last couple days too!

schef070911 · October 2016

@mylittleirvz Good to know I'm not the only one - I put a call into my OB this afternoon but I won't hear back until Monday. Better safe than sorry I figure! Just dreading telling DH because he is going to freak out and worry no matter how many websites I show him saying it's typical.

cafedisco · October 2016

@schef070911 happens to me a lot. I get very out of breath when I teach too. But not during exercise.

mrsstuessy · October 2016

@schef070911 I had them a lot with DD and just this week they started coming back this time around. I get them really, really bad. My OB last time had even set up an appointment with a cardiologist for me because it was getting really scary. I never went through with the appointment and they went away a few weeks after DD was born.

I just need to whine for a minute. My body hurts sooooo bad already! Today I moved myself a little to fast playing with DD at the park. (running on a merry-go-round) Like 5 minutes, guys. And for the rest of the day I feel like I can barely walk. My hip joints have so much pain. And my pelvis just aches. I have to limp around and even be careful how I sit because it seems my body gets stuck in certain positions and it hurts to move out of them. It sucks. I am only 15 weeks and I don't want to have to just sit on the couch for the next 25 weeks. I was really sore with DD, but it got worse more towards the end. I feel like I went from throwing up 1st tri to can't get out of bed 3rd tri. I want the happy middle part. Wahhhhh!

stephred292 · October 2016

Anyone experiencing coccyx pain?? I'm 14 weeks and it started on Thursday and has not got any better despite heat, ice, tylenol, and rest

smallanimal · October 2016

This week: headache, and stuffy nose that seems to be staying forever now. OTher than that, all symptoms gone. Boobs deflated and not sore, tummy gone down a bit. Not losing weight though, which is good, perhaps it is just moving around. Baby fine (HB today), so not too anxious.
The other thing I have been having since the beginning is hot feet at night. Sometimes so hot it is uncomfortable and I need to put a cold wet towel on it. Anyone else?

nwshay · October 2016

@stephred292 I am! It's so wierd! I haven't tried much to stop it, but I'm going to ask my chiropractor if there's anything we can try

ashleym112 · October 2016

I am glad to see that I'm not the only one having crazy nightmares as well! I thought it was the book I was reading lol, which I'm sure wasn't helping

cafedisco · October 2016

Last night I was Tom Hanks trying to help a young woman adopt a baby from a mystery foreign country. The people did not want to adopt their babies to us and it was incredibly dangerous. I was leading the woman through abandoned buildings as they chased us with guns and grenades.

Yup. Weird stuff. I'm not sure if she got the baby in the end or not.

twistsandturnsto2 · October 2016

This will probably turn into a whine/pity party but I am SO over the fatigue and general feeling of always pushing myslef too hard. I'm starting to feel like all I do is have to make excuses as to why I have to sit and rest or I can't do the things that need to get done. Sleep and laying around watching tv are great and all, but I've got the house to take care of, reorganizing everything to make room for the baby, work, chasing a toddler, and keeping my husband happy too. I just want my energy back

mylittleirvz · October 2016

I too feel whiny today - my hips hurt so bad today I feel like I am already doing the "pregnant waddle" because of it and I'm not very big yet! Also, I am tired of feeling out of breath ALL.THE.TIME. I feel like I constantly need to sit down and catch my breath after doing hardly anything or else I feel light headed and miserable.

Beckyf321 · October 2016

Throwing up your snack in the ymca family locker room toilet. Everybody's idea of a good time, right? Only 25 weeks to go!

KirstinH88 · October 2016

Didn't really know what thread to put this in. And I didn't want to start a new thread for my "OMG moment." But...ladies! July BMB is open! That means there are already 3 BMBs after us. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? How is time flying so fast?
