@Cricket99 this is going to sound weird/gross but I usually end up gargling with almond milk, not drinking it, but it usually helps the back of my throat. (I imagine regular milk would work too.)

Anyone else having some muscular pain when you stand up too quickly? Mine started earlier last week and it isn't every time I stand up but when I get up to fast. I can easily tell its muscular because it is just above the uterus on both sides starting near the ovaries and angling downward towards my pubic symphysis. Never had this pain before in my previous pregnancies, at least as far as I can remember.
Every day I feel hungover with a little bit of vomit settled at the base of my throat. It never comes up. I drink about 2 sips of coffee. Nausea is the worst. So unbelievably sick of the taste of ginger ale and peppermint.
Swollen boobs - so swollen I had to go and get a maternity/nursing bra, it is NOT sexy.
Moodiness like you wouldn't believe (yeah, you would). I have some coworkers who I positively adored until a couple of weeks ago. Now they are the enemy. And it's not going unnoticed, I'm sure.
Food aversions - some coworkers' lunches make me hate them even more (see above). Never know what I can handle eating wise until I see it. Mostly kid food - noodles with plain sauce, kraft dinner, grilled cheese.
Smells. Ugh. all of them.
Emotional. Husband keeps making me watching elephants being reunited or puppy rescue videos. Will cry over anything.
You guys, week 9-10 has been REALLY hard. My energy started to come back some days and I felt SO good! And then the next day I feel like death warmed over. I didn't even go to work today because I could barely function and and the smell of...everything...made me start dry heaving. Will this even out soon? I want my energy back.
@mcrosie sorry hun. This happened to me too last week between 9 and 10 weeks. I called out to work one day to because I started throwing up at 3 am. I told my husband why can't I throw up during the day?!? Wrong thing to ask for... hang in there, few more weeks.
@Cricket99 I feel you. I'm really struggling. I also hate the build up to puking... I have this weird 5-10 minute window where I know it is coming @mcrosie ME too! You have all of my empathy. 9-10 have somehow been my worst so far aside from one fluke day where I felt great.
@EmilyLove25 I get the buildup too. I can feel it building for up to an hour sometimes. My stomach just gets more and more acidic. Dinner time is my biggest struggle right now.
@missblaze, lol...it wasn't my phone. I've been googling and it is a common symptom during pregnancy, uterus and round ligament stretching. Very odd. Anyone else got this?
I am getting the worst headache today. I know it's usually a 2nd tri thing. Here's hoping I'm not nauseous AND have a headache for the next couple of weeks.
I can't even open the "what my pregnant self is eating" thread bc I hate food so much right now. Everything is so gross to me. I'm normally kind of a sugar junkie but I don't even want to bake cookies even though my adorable son keeps asking to do it. Also I don't have the energy to stand next to a hot stove. The tough part about eating is every time I eat something I feel like I'm choking it down only to have an empty stomach again about an hour later.
@trudytudy Me too! I can't even think about the Jimmy John's thread either. Yuck. Today I walked into my parents house and almost threw up because my dad had an egg sandwich that was still wrapped. I think eggs are the biggest trigger for me right now. Which really sucks because we have chickens
I was discussing a case in court with opposing counsel, and I had to interrupt our conversation to find a hair tie and put my hair in a ponytail. That's professional.
Summer is going to be awesome.
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
@KLake42 same with the hot flashes although mine have mostly been at night. We keep the air at 60 overnight and I have a fan on my nightstand that stays on high pointed directly at me and I've been waking up drenched in sweat and SO hot. I've had to start pushing the covers on and just waiting for them to pass and then of course when they do I'm freezing cold from the air blowing on my sweat. Lovely.
soo..... I had a craving for steak last night and by God I got some. Date night for the hubby and me. I had that uneasy feeling driving to the restaurant but I was starved when I stepped in. So proud of myself! This place ladies is 45mins and worth every penny!!
I get full really fast so I've lost a few lbs since I am eating smaller portions than usual. My husband got us some cheeseburgers and sweet potato fries last night and I couldn't finish my burger and only ate a few fries even though they were so good and I wanted to eat more. He ended up finishing mine then complained I'm going to make him gain weight too since he is finishing my meals for me haha.
@schaze@sbishop426 If you girls are ever in OHIO, go to Portsmouth and go to the bar The Ribber. You won't be disappointed. Lord I'm salivating now LOL
I remember a few of you that were complaining about constipation. I talked to my doctor about mine and she said I could try some fiber. I picked up some generic Metamucil stuff and I tell you what it worked like a dream. Only used it once in the past 4 days and have has zero constipation issues. Thought I'd share if anyone is still in that boat.
I'm not usually one to complain on the boards, but I am experiencing the most painful joint pains ever. This is actually my fifth pregnancy and I don't know if that's somehow related, but I've never experienced anything like this before.
I went out to get annuals to add to my gardens and came home and my whole body was just like nope, there's no way getting those in the ground is happening today. Everything hurts.
@BelhurstBride I hade horrible joint pains in my hands for a couple weeks, it was awful:( that must be horrible to have the whole body.
I feel Fat:( I'm already a heavier person, but for some Reason my stomach is just so much more bleh today. I'm supposed to go out tonight and all I want to do is hide my body in pjs.
I sneezed today ladies and it felt like every muscle in my stomach pulled at the same time. I seriously was imobilized for a full 1 minute at least. I thought i had ripped my insides. WTH!
