It's just been nothing but pain for me lately. My back aches something fierce and I've had this mind numbing headache that I just can't shake. Make it stahhhp!

collectiveliving · May 2017

So sorry @vvitchhazel, I hope you feel better soon.

rainbowdashh · May 2017

Had the cvs yesterday. It went really well. The anticipation was so much worse than the actual procedure. I'm sore today though. And the nausea is back! I thought I was in the clear, but nope. So ready for it to go away and never come back.

rainbowdashh · May 2017

@vvitchhazel the headaches suck! I only get them this bad while pregnant.

Jellybelly119 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel The headaches started this week over here too! I remember them lasting the entire second tri last time, so I'm not thrilled.

@rainbowdashh Liking for the good CVS, not the nausea! Hopefully that'll start subsiding very soon!

How long until you get the results?

vvitchhazel · May 2017

@rainbowdashh Glad to hear the CVS went better than you expected! Major bummer about the nausea though, ugh!! I usually only got dehydration headaches before I got pregnant, but these are a whole new ball game.

@Jellybelly119 I didn't get the headaches with DD, so this is new and I'm not enjoying them one bit. They're damn near debilitating!

rainbowdashh · May 2017

@Jellybelly119 we get the first half in about 2 weeks or so. The results we really want we won't get for nearly 6 weeks. The wait is going to be miserable!

NME44 · May 2017

Is extreme laziness a symptom of pregnancy? I am just the worst lately.

You can not possibly be the worst, because I am definitely the laziest human alive at the moment. If I didn't have to work (adding: or chase my toddler which is much more tiring), I'd literally sit in one spot on my couch all day.

Jellybelly119 · May 2017

@rainbowdashh 6 weeks is so long!! Hopefully you've got lots of fun summer plans to make it go by quickly! Fx for great results!

vvitchhazel · May 2017

I thought it was over, but I was wrong. Just threw up out of nowhere. I was sitting on the couch, watching my toddler teach herself to climb up next to me unassisted (which is awesome and terrifying simultaneously), and I had to jump up and run to the bathroom.

This is the second time I've gone days on end without any nausea or vomiting, only to have a random and violently extreme throw up.

kaylawing · May 2017

@vvitchhazel I am getting terrible headaches, too. I don't remember having these with DD. Combine that with the tiredness/laziness and the constant nausea, and I'm pretty useless. (Right there with you, @NME44!) I took TWO naps today, and I'm still tired.

Marley629 · May 2017

It it's not nausea or vomiting for me, it's the heartburn. I don't remember heartburn being so bad this early with DS...like literally feels like it's on fire

kaylawing · May 2017

@Marley629 heartburn is the worst. Is there anything you can take that helps? My Ob okayed zantac last pregnancy and it helped a bit. May be worth asking about.

Marley629 · May 2017

@kaylawing I'm taking Zantac 150. I know it's safe to take up to 300 and I did today but I generally dont but today nothing is working. If OWT's are correct, I'm gonna give birth to chewbacca this go around lol

rachswi · May 2017

@vvitchhazel and @jellybelly119 I got the debilitating headaches with DS. My doctor suggested taking magnesium and it helped IMMENSELY. I know it comes in lots of forms and that the pill form is least effective but even that worked for me. I just took it at the same time I took my prenatal.

rubyrose_0919 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel that's so similar to me! It's legit terrifying, I feel so trapped because I really don't want that to happen out in the world!

I feel for ya, girl! Hope today was the last time for us both!

kaylawing · May 2017

@Marley629 I had terrible heartburn with dd and she came out bald!

Jellybelly119 · May 2017

@rachswi I'm actually taking magnesium this time to see if it would help with insomnia (it seems to!) but it isn't touching the headaches; thanks for the tip though! Last time I had good luck with ice packs on my neck and forehead so I may have to stash a few at work.

There is actually some science to back that one up--there is a correlation. I had a lot of HB with DD, and she had a full head of hair (actually, a bit of a baby mullet--definitely longer in the back). It didn't really kick in til 2nd tri, though--this LO is getting started early, so he/she better have some hair, too!

NME44 · May 2017

No hair for my 2 baldies who caused me incredible heartburn.

thatlauragirl · May 2017

I turn 12 weeks tomorrow and tonight, after a crazy busy first day of vacation I wiped and saw bright red blood. I'm laying down trying not freak out but I'm scared. Praying this is the "normal" kind of spotting.

MJDsquared · May 2017

@thatlauragirl I'm sorry you're going through that. FX it's normal

jackiesmom324 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel yay for your toddler's milestones boo for the nausea and vomiting
@NME44 I'm also the laziest person on earth
@rainbowdashh I'm so glad the CVS went well yay

whiska · May 2017

@NME44 I feel like at least 2-3 days per week I just totally give up on being productive. My body is toooo tired.

@thatlauragirl Fx it's normal and tapers off asap.

I've had a really painful stretching feeling in my ute this evening and while I'm not worried something's "wrong" (baby has to grow right!), I am concerned that all of pregnancy will keep feeling like this... does it? I mean I was squirming on the couch it was so painful, like up there with some bad af cramps. But it wasn't cramps, just a lot of painful stretching... I've been extra active today but also drinking a ton of water. ETA Like right now it hurts in my uterus/pelvis just to try and get up from a chair. Even walking that area feels tender. Could it be constipation?

Also my bladder signal to my brain is broken. I don't know when I need to pee, I just know things feel uncomfortable down there and I figure I probably need to pee. Does that sound weird or normal?

kaylawing · May 2017

@thatlauragirl sorry you're going through that. I know it can be stressful. Hoping its tapered off and all is well.

Mandayno · May 2017

@vvitchhazel I too have been experiencing really bad back pain.... Mine is really low in the pelvic region, deep into the bones and joints (not muscular pain). Is this what you have? Have you found anything to relieve your pain? Idk if it's the pelvic area adjusting already or what! I can't sleep at all, because I'm so uncomfortable no matter what I do!!

vvitchhazel · May 2017

@mandayno That's exactly what I have. Definitely bones and joints, not muscular. So far nothing helps, unfortunately. I've tried taking a couple extra strength Tylenol, but that doesn't really touch it. I can't get comfortable in bed whatsoever either. I toss and turn all night and then wake up aching.

speach13 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel I told my OB about my horrible headaches and she okayed naproxen (aleve). It may be worth asking yours about because it works wonders for joint pain as well. It should be avoided in the last 3 months though because it can effect lung maturation. Hope you start feeling better lady!

Marley629 · May 2017

@thatlauragirl I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope it has stopped now and that everything is ok!

YodaIsGreen · May 2017

I'm 10 weeks and the nausea had been horrible. It let up for 2 days and I thought I was in the clear. However on day 3, the nausea was back with a vengeance. I am also so exhausted all the time and since it is the long weekend I'm just napping.

kater622 · May 2017

I actually came in here to complain about my constant headache and it looks like many of you are in the same boat. I have a headache almost daily now, and taking tylenol doesn't seem to help at all. I'm definitely going to talk to my doctor about this.

Hang in there ladies

Tennis11785 · May 2017

@rainbowddash - glad the CVS wasn't too bad! Fingers crossed for awesome results!!

MJDsquared · May 2017

The fatigue is way too real today.

clovelyone · May 2017

@MJDsquared Every day unfortunately.

jackiesmom324 · May 2017

I was winding down for bed and looking for a no stress article to read while my waiting for my diclegis to work and found this funny article.. I don't know if any of you believe in astrology.. I don't necessarily believe in it but I still like to look stuff up.. I feel like being a Scorpio really fits me but my husband who is a Leo it's completely completely wrong about him.. Anyway I found this website that has your sign and what type of mom you would be

whiska · May 2017

@jackiesmom324
Just wanted to say it's crazy - I'm a Scorpio and H is a Leo too!

Tennis11785 · May 2017

I'm generally not a crier at weddings. Maybe start to tear up, but nothing real.

When one of my best friends from college stepped out during her wedding ceremony last night, I instantly started bawling. Big old tears rolling down my cheeks!

clovelyone · May 2017

@jackiesmom324 I'm a scorpio too

disneyfan0511 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel The headaches are horrible. I could barely get out of bed yesterday I had such a bad migraine. Hoping they go away soon!
@thatlauragirl Hope all is well! That can be scary - thinking of you.
@jackiesmom324 I'm a cancer and it's spot on.

Besides headaches my latest symptom is horrible, horrible gas. The pain from the gas was so awful today, I felt like I was going to pop. Pregnancy is so glamorous...
