I think I'm coming down with the flu. Fingers crossed this is just a fluke of symptoms, but I diagnosed probably 10 people with it this weekend and they all coughed on me
probably should have worn a mask in hindsight, ugh
I've taken to wearing a light sports bra at night, something I have never done, because the boob pain is so real. My hips are also already bothering me at night which did not happen until much later in my pregnancy with DS. So, between tossing and turning because of the hip pain, teaching high schoolers during the day and chasing after my toddler on the afternoon, I am wiped out.
6+4 Considering I'm not even 7 weeks yet, my nausea is at full force and afraid what it will be in a couple weeks. It definitely hit me much sooner this time around than with my last 3 pregnancies. The nausea is pretty consistent throughout the day but much worse in the evenings. Other than that some fatigue.
I feel like most of my symptoms have eased up. I have some days where I am completely exhausted with head aches, but today I actually felt okay and had some energy. I haven't had to pee as often. I still get some nausea when I'm hungry and breasts are on and off sore.
I'm trying to be happy about feeling relatively pretty good, but I am a worrier so my 12 week appointment can't get here soon enough to reassure me all is well. Because honestly, I don't feel all that pregnant anymore since a lot of my symptoms have eased up.
I am 9w1d I have food aversions like crazy and no appetite, I can only stand the sight of fruit. I love coffee, but now I can't even stand the smell it.
@lahearn18 Thanks for asking! So she thought it was a combination of a prior tail bone injury (falling on my butt on the ice ) and hormones/fluid building up. She felt all around my tailbone and felt that the left side was more swollen. She thinks it's actually all ligaments instead of a muscle group. I was told to do Kegels and hold them for a minute long to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles/ligaments, to NOT cross my legs, and to stand with weight on both feet equally, not shift my weight to one side (which I always stand shifted!). I work tomorrow, and then go back on Wednesday to evaluate how the pain is doing.
Thanks for the tip @sableeg. Are they chiropractory/massage?

I cant take this BLOAT! I'm pretty sure it's going to cause stretch marks! Its unreal how big and painful my stomach can get off such a small amount of food. And ditto to all the other symptoms minus the crying. Ive apparently decided to be a major B instead of being emotional
9+6 the bloat is awful. By lunch I just want to rip my pants off. Weather isn't supposed to be bad today so I wore a dress, hoping I won't feel like crap by the afternoon, these tights aren't too tight. The insomnia has started also. I'll wake up between 1-3 and be up for so long, but I eventually fall back to sleep, so I guess it's not too bad for now. I feel like crap at night. I'm able to eat anything during the day but by 4/5 I can only eat a little but nothing sounds appetizing. Thats all I'll complain about for now
I'm so glad my immediate family/ in-laws know now, because the nausea is just so hard to hide when people are at our house all the time (parents/ in-laws watch DS during the day).
I had a nice 4 day reprieve from the nausea, which happened around this time with DS as well. I'm 9+4, and I remember it slowing down and then coming back with a vengeance. Vengeance is this morning, I can't even get down the pop tart from the vending machine that I was hoping would help a little. Otherwise, I'm still really tired, all the time. I lift relatively heavy, and I'm finding it harder to do things like front loaded squats because my core just doesn't feel strong enough. I wasn't lifting like this with DS, so I can't compare, but I'm sure it's from the relaxin hormone and my abs just being stretched from my previous pregnancy.
I really really wish my DS would stop waking up for a bottle at 3:30am bc he's teething. DH always gives him the bottle, but I can't go back to sleep afterwards since I got pregnant. I just want a solid night's sleep!!
7+6 exhausted. All the time. Nausea in the mornings and evenings. Starving all the time but nothing tastes as good as it should. Ran a 15k this weekend and it wiped me out for two days. And I don't mean ran fast haha. I am used to being able to do about any distance so the crazy exhaustion from the shorter distance was shocking. Very emotional...going between crying over anything to being a very very hostile person over any little thing! Good times

Yes! They don't really do adjustments like you would think, but they manipulate the soft tissue to keep you in alignment. So it's a mixture of both chiropractics and massage!

@daniellelynette oh man, something like that would have made me so upset. When something actually tastes good and then goes to waste it's so frustrating.
Also.... I didn't know there were gyros at Arby's..... Maybe I will get one in your honour.
@lahearn18 I've already complained about this but Yes I found relief with jolly rancher and my husband at the whole bag of them in like 4 days I was so upset!
7+3 with baby number 2 and oh my Lord I cannot catch my breath and I get super dizzy when getting up. Nauseated every morning for a couple hours and then at noon I'm a bottomless pit.
Just wanted to offer an effective (and healthy) way to combat constipation pain: hot water with lemon. Not only does it force me to drink water (I have been avoiding water; for some reason it was making me feel nauseous so I've opted for juice instead) but it seems to help with digestion too.
No jolly ranchers for me yet (sounds good!) but I have been enjoying lemon heads. Hate when it starts to irritate the roof of your mouth, though! Happens to me a lot... boohoo
@wellhithen my DH wont be home back home for 4 weeks so he cant steal my jolly ranchers. Plus I bought the HUGE bag, so I'd be impressed if he did eat all of them, but wouldnt put it past him lol.
I'm having twinges/cramps but only on one side and I'm pretty sure it is my uterus or cervix, not an ovary. it's center & slight right. Has anyone else had this? It's making me nervous.
@jmn1985 I was having sharp twinges like that, mostly to my right upper groin area, a couple days ago. Midwife said it was round ligament pain. I'm 9 + 4, which seems kind of early to have those, especially since I'm a FTM. But it could be possible? I haven't felt them for a couple days since.
My symptoms include more fatigue this week, still the same old heartburn, but a reduction of nausea (though not completely gone). I've had slightly more drive to get stuff done, though that could just be desperation about my unvacuumed floors and general clutter driving me crazy. Definitely more moody. I heard a song that reminded me of my bestie, so I messaged her this cute note, and then she saw it and took just a few minutes longer than I wanted to respond. So I cried. Lol
I ran out of diclegis and had such an awful night between peeing about 10 times and waking up from nausea. I need to get my prescription fillled, I keep throwing up. Boo.
@Aly0430 I'm 9+3, and I am definitely having round ligament pains, usually when I stand up/sit down, or twist my hips. My doc said most women experience them early, you just don't realize it because they're less severe early on/the second time around you know what to look/feel for.
Left school early today because symptoms were too severe. I threw up 5 times in the parking lot on the way to my car. Everytime I cough at home now, my 2 year old says, "Momma throw up."
@JustBored10 the rash........I had this with my first pregnancy... mine was bc I started using cocoa butter on my skin to prevent stretch marks, or at least that was the only connection I could make... it went away in about a week, but it sucks!
This pregnancy I had it on my hands and wrists, turns out it was contact dermitis(sp?) from my bracelets and watch! Still not gone on my hand.... it's a hormonal thing from what I understand....
8+3 and generally feeling alright! Nausea is real but luckily only a few times a day. I can either eat a meal made for a family of 8 or can't even imagine having a bite of food. Aversions are a real deal and not something I dealt with during my first pregnancy, but most food sounds gross. A few things that sound delicious are all fruit, sour cream and ice tea!
Energy level is awesome, which is also different then last pregnancy....Sleeping well and not too many dreams I guess all in all doing pretty well!
@heatherwilson321 you might want to check in with a doctor or nurse, bc 5x is a lot. But as you know the main thing is to replenish your body with fluids right now. What a terrible morning -- hope you feel better soon!
@sableeg I'm slow. Massage around my tailbone feels so good! I like when she feels for the end of my tailbone and pushes around to see if it's midline (it's not). It's pretty .. uh.. intimate that far down but man it does feel good to have the tissue around it pressed on. I may have to check your people out.

So happy to be back 9week+1today and yes my birthday was yesterday.had the worst weekend ever. I was walking home and suddenly started bleeding I was scared am a FTM thank God baby is fine but was hospitalized and on complete bed rest ever since. The bleeding has stopped and on progesterone until Saturday. Had brownish discharge then dark brown discharge.bt today Just milkish discharge. Aside that nothing really. Am just hanging in nd praying I get to full term.
@toyin SO sorry to hear about this... do they know why there was bleeding? Glad it stopped. What a traumatic birthday to have, but better times are ahead. Thoughts with you!
@runbyfruiting I've been having dizzy spells, and they're no fun! They last from just a few seconds to almost a minute. Doc says it's likely just from increasing blood supply and expanding blood vessels.
@runbyfruiting I got a little light headed today. I took the stairs instead of the elevator and barely made it back to my office. A little dizzy and super exhausted from one flight of stairs.
