How far along are you and how are things going this week?

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

I'm 21+3. This morning the heartburn is soooo bad. I'm cursing yesterday's chipotle burrito.

labby18 · April 2017

I think I might have a UTI. Sometimes when I go pee it's super cloudy. I don't have any pain tho. My OB hasn't taken any urine samples since I was like 6wks. Ugh. I don't want to call them bc the pharmacy on base is so far away.

Eta:

Otherwise heartburn/acid reflux at night. Never comfortable. I can feel the baby kicks and movement now. I'm starting to get 2nd tri energy. Headaches about twice a week.

mrsmarygs · April 2017

@labby18 I've had cloudy pee every once in awhile, and I get checked for UTIs every visit (none so far! FX). Another cause of cloudy pee is dehydration, but you don't want to mess around with a UTI so it might be best to get it checked anyways.

wyomama0427 · April 2017

@labby18 weird question. Does it smell a lot worse than normal? If it's cloudy with a very strong smell it could be a sneaky UTI but if it's just cloudy I agree with @mrsmarygs and it could be dehydration

labby18 · April 2017

@mrsmarygs and @wyomama0427
It's worse in the morning so that might be it. I usually am very good about water otherwise. And no smell or associated pain. I have an appointment on Friday at the MFM for my a/s and they do urine samples. I'll bring it up then.

Swazzle · April 2017

@labby18 My pee has been pretty consistently cloudy since very early on. I mentioned it to my doctor who wasn't concerned about it. I drink a lot of water, it's almost always clear or very light yellow, there's no pain, and it doesn't smell. I'm probably going to bring it up again at my appointment on Thursday just for the hell of it but I'm in the same boat as you! Hopefully it's (still) nothing.

20+3
This past week I have been exhausted! I want to sleep right after breakfast.

Occasional cramping.

My eyes are so puffy and red. I am guessing it is from all the sinus pressure I get that comes and goes. Here and there my right ear will become extremely stuffy like I have been on an airplane.

Oh and the bleeding gums! I even oil pull almost every morning and still they bleed like crazy.

dogdisnylovr · April 2017

18+1

Still slightly nauseous in the evening.
The burping is getting out of hand.
I think I am starting to feel little kicks, but I am not 100% positive that's what it is.

mrs_tacos · April 2017

20+1

-So much hip/pubic/pelvic pain.
-The heartburn is getting out of control. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it, because it's occasionally getting really extreme, and it feels like more than just regular heartburn/acid reflux.
-I am always hungry. Always.
-Still heart palpitations and frequently out of breath.
-The acne is getting worse. Grr.

ETA: I forgot about the nosebleeds, and apparently that angered the nosebleeds because one started almost as soon as I posted. Random, pouring nosebleeds several times a week. I'm lucky I haven't ruined any clothes yet.

Swazzle · April 2017

19+5

-Heartburn pretty much everyday
-Acne along my jaw that will. not. leave.
-Peeing 875x a day/night

Also, I think I may have had a Braxton Hicks contraction last night. I had just gotten into bed and it just felt weird and REALLY tight on the inside and hard as a rock on the outside. It didn't hurt at all, I don't even know if I'd say it was uncomfortable, and it didn't last long. It was just...weird. As with most things pregnancy-related it seems. I'm going to mention it at my appointment on Thursday.

beccam1230 · April 2017

Still heartburn, and now it's accompanied by a really fun sour taste in my mouth. It's disgusting because I know why it's there.
Feeling sick has taken a serious turn for the better (yay!) Except today. I had to cancel my dentist appointment because I woke up with this ridiculous gag reflex and I wasn't feeling great. But I can't complain too much, I know it's getting better.
I'm a little pissed at this stupid "second trimester energy". No way. I went to the grocery store yesterday and was literally falling asleep before my son went to bed because I guess I did too much. The grocery store for 45 minutes counts as too much now.
But something cool, I was laying on the couch today and baby boy started moving like crazy (I may or may not have eaten a Cadbury creme egg shortly before that) and I saw him moving for the first time. I can usually feel him, but can't see him. DH got to see too! When DS came over, he stopped. Haha I guess he wore himself out.
So luckily there are some positives!

DPandMB · April 2017

21+1. Such bad stabbing sharp pains over my left hip today. Best guess is freaking RLP again. I hate the constant pains though. They freaking suck.

Hopefulmommy1980 · April 2017

18w. Tired and insomnia (fun), eating everything in sight, and headaches

cmar1006 · April 2017

17+4

+1 on heartburn, constant peeing (especially at night), RLP

Been having leg cramps in my right thigh only, close to my hip. So annoying. But thank goodness the vaginal/uterine pressure I had been feeling seems to have gone away for now.

stephy_p · April 2017

21+3

TMI, but did you guys know being constipated and having diarrhea at the same time is a thing? It's new to me and I don't like it!

The other things that have been really bothering me this week are really sore hips and back, heartburn, and extra emotions.

angeladowns1 · April 2017

@stephy_p omg I was just about to make a post here about what I have endearingly named "constilarrhea"... I hate it so, so much. Lord help us.

MyNamesTaken · April 2017

19+6 today.

I'm hungry all the time
I've been getting sciatic pain here and there on my left side
I can go to the gym and get in a good workout and then get winded walking back upstairs
I snissed for the first time last night

jutondreau · April 2017

20+5

Morning sickness is becoming a pain moreso now than it was previously (ie having to take rescue meds throughout the day on top of my diclegis as night). Not cool since I started working again this week. So tired, but that could be to jet lag and adding in working to my daily life. Acne is mean and angry under my jaw.

CharChar821 · April 2017

17w5d

soooo tired. This point in the day, 2pm, I become officially good for nothing and can easily fall asleep at my desk. And sorry to be gross, but the discharge is out of hand! I wear liners all the time but I'm still getting rashes! I also feel like large marge. I feel much more pregnant now than I did this same time during my last pregnancy. Any other 2nd time moms w me there? Like the ailments I'm having at 16 and -7 weeks I didn't have until near the end of 2nd trimester with my first.

_Erica_ · April 2017

20w5d

MyNamesTaken Oh, the sciatica. It's so unfair.
Besides that I have lots of lower back pain and plenty of fatigue.

But mostly it's the taste. So much awful taste in my mouth if I eat anything with sugar or carbs. I'm still losing weight at this point because there is so much I can't eat. I couldn't handle it this morning and I had a hot chocolate. I knew it was going to be bad, but I just needed something hot (it's gray and drizzly here) and something that was not filtered water.

LosAngelesMama · April 2017

@_Erica_ yes the horrible taste. This happens when I eat or drink anything sweet including fruit. It's pretty annoying. Go away and let me enjoy my apple!

HollyGolightly09 · April 2017

@jutondreau Are you eating less frequently since you're at work? I notice my morning sickness is work on weekends because I'm not eating on the same schedule I do at school.

21 weeks today!
Feeling pretty good, actually. Just so tired! I did start noticing a tooth hurting a little, so I bought some calcium supplements the other day.

_Erica_ · April 2017

@LosAngelesMama Has your doctor given any advice for getting rid of the Taste?
Mine thinks it's cirtrus but grapefruits are okay and apples are totally out. She's a wonderful doctor but on this thing has been supremely unhelpful.
I would give love or money to move past this particular symptom.

JNR6510 · April 2017

Nausea is still at it. Between that and random blood pressure spikes and drops I feel like death. But Laurel has been kicking and rolling around like crazy! She starts around 5am and goes until 8pm or so at night. I am going to have a wild, energetic child! Thankfully the BP issues haven't seemed to bother her at all so that is definitely happy news.

Carebella · April 2017

20+6 and OMG the nipple soreness, OWIE. About 99% of the time they get touched/brushed somehow, I want to punch or yell at the cause, but can't because it's DS and an accident. Aside from that, still tired, still queasy, still dry heaving. Some insomnia and lots of sneezing. Good times!

Ahhh... yes! My dog likes to jump on me when I'm sitting down and it never fails that her claws scrape my nipples.

Carebella · April 2017

@HollyGolightly09 You just made me grateful our dog worships my husband and tolerates me. She is constantly scratching him with her claws when she is trying to smother him! That's one pain I am happy to avoid.

Sugargirl1019 · April 2017

21+1!

- Heartburn - such a weird feeling as this is the first time in my life I'm experiencing it #oldladystatus
- Acne

waddup @Swazzle
- my belly is SO tight! I can't sit nirmally, have to lean back because it's just in the way now!
- So much tail bone pain, hip back pain, RLP.. I hurt.
- I'm working 60 hours on my feet this week and though I wear compression stockings, I am FEELING it with the sore feet and swelling!
- CONSTIPATION I'm pretty sure my super tight belly is from bloat all the time.

Swazzle · April 2017

@Sugargirl1019 Gahh I hate this club we're in together! Currently mine is pretty much only on my left jawline but it's like a cluster of 8 huge hard monstrosities.

cmar1006 · April 2017

So is anyone else having a hard time breathing/catching their breath? I remember feeling this way with DD a when I was much further along. The worst.

stephy_p · April 2017

@cmar1006 Yes!! I have a hard time getting ready in the mornings. A shower and blow drying my hair get my heart racing and make me out of breath that I end up having an anxiety attack some mornings! I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow, but it's been happening to me four a couple of weeks now.

Has anyone had any hyperpigmentation going on? I have super pale skin and have a couple of dark spots on my cheek bones and forehead from sun damage. They fade to nearly nothing in the winter and usually get darker in the summer. I have not been in the sun and noticed this morning that they are getting super dark! I don't know if this is the "mask of pregnancy" thing or what, but I don't like it.

One positive symptom I have is that I can now go longer than 24 hours without washing my hair, lol! I usually have super oily hair that makes me look like like I've been living in the streets by day 2. I can now make it 48 hours and look ok!

LosAngelesMama · April 2017

@_Erica_ I actually haven't told the doctor. I've just been living with the annoying taste. Maybe I should bring it up next time.

Yes! And at weird times too. I can go do a weightlifting workout and be fine and then feel like I'm going to pass out climbing one flight of stairs. I wear a fit bit and can see my resting heart rate going up gradually.

mercury94 · April 2017

@stephy_p I have some discolored spots on my stomach. No linea, just a few dark spots.

Sugargirl1019 · April 2017

I got my first belly stretch mark

bnmort8 · April 2017

18 weeks + 3days, belly tight and constipated peeing all the time!!! Starting to feel uncomfortable at night when trying to sleep.

Great thing is I believe I have finally felt some movement just like thumps so I'll take that and hubby felt it too

My dogs do the same thing!!!! I have to cover my nips when they come near me lol. They have both been up my butt lately MIL says the sense I'm pregnant. My youngest has to sleep with his back next to my belly its cute but I get so hot.

Hey lady! Just saw this...no, I probably eat more frequently at work! I have a desk and am washing my hands all the time anyway, so I have lots of snacks to keep it somewhat at bay during the day. Seems less of an issue at work to be honest, so maybe some of that is due to my eating?! You would think with pregnancy 8, baby #3, I would have it all figured out....but not quite

Rhubarb7216 · April 2017

22 + 2 and feeling a strange pain today. This morning as I was sitting down I felt a twinge in my lower right pelvic area. When I stood up a few minutes later, pain shot up my right side and I couldn't really stand up straight. I hobbled around a little bit and it worked itself out at least enough to be able to walk normally and have a manageable amount of pain. Just after that I left the house to meet some friends from brunch and was still feeling a little bit of pain when I got to brunch, but the time I left ~90 min later I was feeling totally fine again. After a 35 min drive home, I had a very full bladder and when I peed, the pain in my lower right pelvic area came back really badly as I was peeing. I lay down and it got much better so I stayed lying down for a while and then took it easy the rest of the day. The pain had pretty much gone away entirely (even after several other times peeing) and then came back again when I peed a little bit ago - not as bad as it was earlier today, but still very uncomfortable. The pain subsided somewhat after peeing, but I can still feel a little something. Anyone else had anything like this? I have had RLP before and it felt different than this, so I don't think that's what it is. If it's still bothering me tomorrow I will probably call the doctor's office.

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

@Rhubarb7216 I consistently have lower right pelvic pain that is intermittent. It also seems to get worse when I need to go to the bathroom. I have had ovarian cysts on that side so I think of that as a contributing factor for myself. I don't think it would hurt to talk to your doctor especially since the pain has radiated to other areas as well.

It could be nothing but I think during pregnancy it is much better to be safe and put our minds at ease.

I hope you feel better soon!
