keiraanne · April 2017

Good morning fellow Bumpies!

How are you feeling today? Any changes? New symptoms appearing or old symptoms fading away?

canonmom413 · April 2017

I wish my body would get it's shit together and be consistant. Yesterday was great! I did 5 loads of laundry and even folded and put it away. I made a home cooked meal, ate healthy and wanted all the good foods, and overall felt normal. Today, I am exhausted. Can barely keep my eyes open, but have to force myself to stay awake because Im terrified I wont hear my alarm for when the girls come home, and my stomach is all sorts of feeling gross. All I want is soup, my bed, and sleep. But you know, life.

keiraanne · April 2017

canonmom413 I totally feel your pain. The inconsistency is so frustrating! Here's hoping you can take the rest you need on the days you need it.

dumbledoredies · April 2017

Am I the only one having horrible pain in my ass cheek? It's been there for 3 weeks and it comes and goes but wtf is it and why won't it go away? It's pretty much only in my left cheek (it feels like a muscle maybe?) and sometimes hurts so bad I can barely walk.

kkerner87 · April 2017

I'm having god awful back pain. It started right when i hit second tri about 2 weeks ago. Im hopong it's just ligaments stretching, but I dont remember this with DD.i have a doc appointment tomorrow, so I sill bring it up then, but back pain like this (this early at least) worries me.

tyannej · April 2017

I have to sit up out of bed to pee and in the morning because if not the RLP kinda makes me feel like I got shot in the hip. It's lovely. Also, I feel everything stretching out and I don't know how to deal with it. Do I just let it stretch, do I take a bath in tummy butter for stretch marks, am I being dramatic? #FTMissues

JessDG · April 2017

@tyannej I also feel the same way about stretching out. I put cocoa butter on my tummy every night mostly because it itches so darn much. My mom has some stretch marks, so I'm pretty sure I will have them regardless. (I read those can be genetic...can't remember where)

bluejeanbabi05 · April 2017

@tyannej +1 to the RLP, I get out of bed very carefully and awkwardly. I'm weird, though, because I kind of like the RLP. It makes me a little warm and fuzzy to think of my body stretching to accommodate LO. I've been achy in my lower stomach for the last week, too, which is less warm and fuzzy because it's a little scary. Some achy back pain @dumbledoredies.

@tyannej I was just wondering the other day if there was any correlation between RLP and stretch marks. I couldn't find anything online, let me know if you do. I wouldn't bother too much with the stretch mark cream, it doesn't do anything, unless your belly is itching or something then it could help with that.

keiraanne · April 2017

dumbledoredies kkerner87 tyannej I'm sorry you ladies are in so much pain.

Here's hoping for more good days than bad days with the pain. I hit 12 weeks this week and I've been getting headaches. I know we can take Tylenol but I don't want to be taking too much Tylenol either.

bluejeanbabi05 · April 2017

Ugh also, I think I have a UTI. Heading to minute clinic to see. That could be what this achiness is about. Pregnancy is so glamorous!

tyannej · April 2017

@bluejeanbabi05 I definitely will, I haven't even thought about if there could be a correlation! I'm not itching just yet but I'm sure that will come too. I've also been very achy in my lower stomach, I actually asked the doctor about it when I went on Monday and she said it was totally normal as long as it's not menstral cramp feeling. 14-16 weeks, I've been told is the biggest growth spurt for baby therefore us mommas feel the growing pains!

@JessDG my mom also had stretch marks but she flat out told me that she didn't even try to do anything to prevent them or taking care of them post partum (I didn't know you could do anything post partum, I just thought if they were there, they're there) I haven't done much research on it but I have also heard that it's genetic but I've also heard that if you don't scar that easily it reduces your chances.

ksf13 · April 2017

It's getting hard to sleep comfortably (I mentioned it in the STM check-in). I'm currently sleeping with like 5 pillows. Getting ready to order myself a pregnancy pillow!

mrs_fogue · April 2017

Anyone else dealt with or dealing with rib pain? I was smaller when I got pregnant with my first and had it terrible from stretching out so fast I guess, I never looked into it or asked about it really. I wish I was still tiny but I'm not, however I am already getting this pain again. I thought we didn't get that until late 2nd into the 3rd trimester.

jasmuin · April 2017

I've had a migraine the last 2 days and all the sudden heartburn has become a constant. This baby better have hair

keiraanne · April 2017

mrs_fogue I feel it sometimes in the night if I am sleeping too long in one position. When I try to move, yes, definitely feel rib pain! Not sure what to do to alleviate it though!

shan24 · April 2017

I think I have SPD already

I had it with DS, but not until closer to the middle of my pregnancy. It sucks.

spark88 · April 2017

@dumbledoredies sounds like it's your siatic nerve. Mine has been hurting too. There are some stretches that you can google but I am to lazy to do them.

VLillyV · April 2017

Aww the lovely symptoms thread. Let my whining begin!

Today, I have had a headache ALL day long. It was actually very painful about 30 minutes ago.

I've started getting the Linea Nigra on my belly.

Some days I feel great, some days I feel awful.

Still can't eat chicken (tried yesterday, such a bad idea). I am still not very hungry and am extremely snippy now.

My sciatic back pain is lethal some nights. I also had tons of nightmares last night (cross my fingers that's not here to stay)

Also, suffering from Pregnancy brain. Things easily escape me now and I am overall foggy.

JessDG · April 2017

@VLillyV. I have found this week that I cannot so chicken. It's weird...it happened overnight!

dinosaur · April 2017

It hurts to sneeze. I read it's caused by round ligament pain

keiraanne · April 2017

VLillyV JessDG +2 for the chicken aversion. It's the one meat I haven't really wanted at all.

Also suffering from day two of constant headaches (plus the preggo brain) - are you taking anything for the headaches, @VLillyV?

VLillyV · April 2017

@keiraanne Hey, not taking anything

just gritting my teeth through it. I am increasing my water intake and eating dark chocolate. That seems to take a bit of the edge off temporarily.

What about you? I am a little off-put by taking anything if it's not a migraine (though it sucks so bad!)

dumbledoredies · April 2017

@spark88 I'll have to look into that, thank you!

@keiraanne @VLillyV I've also suffered from some headaches this past week but haven't taken anything for them. Luckily mine haven't been horrible, just annoying.

keiraanne · April 2017

VLillyV I caved yesterday and took one Tylenol because I know acetaminophen is okay, but trying to push through it today by increasing my water intake and got a good night sleep last night. Hope this isn't a symptom that lasts too long.

tyannej · April 2017

@VLillyV +1 on the chicken adversion... started 2 days ago. I've been on a steak adversion for about 3 weeks now. I don't know what I'm going to eat. I'm making spaghetti tonight but I'm running out of options! And my headaches went away after week 14, they were like frank a whole bottle of red wine at one time hangover grade headache.. and I just took Tylenol, and a cool towel over your head while laying down helped me a lot too!

tyannej · April 2017

@dinosaur it is, I have the same thing. Getting up too fast, sneezing, all of the above; feels like I got shot, it's lovely!

Have any of y'all felt movement from baby yet??

TallMomma29 · April 2017

Is there anyone who already can't wear their rings?? My fingers don't seem swollen but every time I try wearing my rings my ring finger swells up and gets red patches around where my rings were that take days to heal. Anyone else buy a cheap fake ring in a bigger size while pregnant? Is that super lame? My finger feels so naked!

VLillyV · April 2017

@TallMomma29 hey, I spent almost the entire first trimester struggling with my ring. For some reason the bloating has gone down substantially in my hands, but there are still times where my ring feels like it's going to explode my finger. I ended up with an indent on my finger, Lol.

I was thinking about just buying a fake cheap ring. I would feel weird without one. Target has some cute ones!

bluejeanbabi05 · April 2017

@dinosaur the sneezing pain just happened to me today, too!

@TallMomma29 @VLillyV my fingers haven't swollen yet, but I'm planning on getting a cheap ring when they do. I would also feel naked without one!

csidelpn-2 · April 2017

@shan24 I think I already have it too and it is kicking my butt! It freaked me out until I figured out that was probably it...I was worried something was wrong.

TallMomma29 · April 2017

Excellent. We can add our amazeballs Target rings to the ring thread!

I never had this problem with my first two... even third tri I kept my rings on until I left for the hospital!

natleilynn · April 2017

WHY DID I JUST THROW UP???

Seriously. Second trimester, you're supposed to be good to me here. You're failing.

australianshepherdlover · April 2017

I have been feeling a lot more energetic lately! I still like to take the occasional nap though

My boobs aren't as swollen and my nausea has decreased quite a bit. I do have headaches often, though. I only take Tylenol Regular Strength (OB approved) if I have a migraine that won't go away. Thankfully, most have been minor headaches that are more annoying than anything. Also, I cry whenever I see something sad about animals on TV. It's like clockwork. I love animals and like to watch veterinary shows (I used to work in a veterinary clinic, so I find it really interesting) and I was just bawling my eyes out. My husband is starting to learn to change the channel. Haha!

buttercream_frosting · April 2017

The nausea is gone!

The appetite is back in full swing!

My clothes really don't fit any more

canonmom413 · April 2017

I've had major pains this weekend. Mostly Friday and Saturday. At first I thought it was from being on my feet and dealing with all the running around I do at these comps. But Sunday I walk in and three people came up and said "'wow you really popped, you didn't have that last week!" I think it's more or so the clothes I had on but this morning I woke up and truly feel bigger. So those must have been those ligaments stretching and growing pretty rapidly.

tyannej · April 2017

Yesterday after church we were standing outside on the sidewalk and I passed out for 5 seconds. Thank goodness my DH was there and caught me. But my dr said I got over heated.... it was 68 degrees yesterday and I'm in texas..... this is going to be a long summer

ksf13 · April 2017

Heartburn has been on and off the whole time (mostly at night), but as of yesterday, everything gives me heartburn. It was this way with DD and I ended up with a Zantac prescription. Add me to team "can't eat chicken", It's making me crazy, because I normally cook chicken 4 nights a week. Most of my go to meals are chicken based.

sdarling2010 · April 2017

The pelvic pain is ridiculous! I can't get out of bed without wincing because of the sharp pain between my legs. This started so much later with DD. Throw the RLP and back pain on top of it and I swear I'm already waddling.

Add me to the list of those needing a replacement wedding ring. I will most definitely be getting one at Target in a few weeks. My fingers swelled like sausages this weekend.

canonmom413 · April 2017

I think my pregnancy induced anemia is back. I always have low iron , even when not pregnant, but not enough for supplements. When im pregnant, I have become anemic ( atleast the last couple pregnancies I have).

I am am freezing cold. All.The.Time. It's currently 65 in the building right now and I'm shivering. I wake up freezing, go to bed freezing ... but wake mid night in a sweat. I need some steak in my life.

tyannej · April 2017

SO. MUCH. GAS. I feel like a walking fart bubble.

londonbleu · April 2017

Finally feeling more energy and starting to add back the foods that made me nauseous. However, now I have had a pinched nerve in my butt for 5 days now. Talk about a pain in the butt!
