Still getting nauseous at night and now I have added heartburn. I am so tired of the nausea. On a positive note I was having a hard time sleeping because of hip pain and my DH got me a pregnancy pillow and it has had a positive impact on my sleep.
I think I have pulsatilla tinnitus? I was worried there was a bug in my ear or something disgusting like that but I can hear and kind of feel a pulsing that matches my heartbeat. It's painful though, every time I yawn or hiccup it's like my ear pops painfully. Any RNs wanna help me out? @MississippiCatfish@MaximumEffort@irishfrisky
@DuchessOfCambridge during the first trimester I had some weird ear things, it was like there as a butterfly in my ear. It was super annoying. It did go away eventually, but I have convinced myself it was related to changes in my sinuses from pregnancy.
I just feel "off" today, does that make sense at all? I was a little nauseous this morning, which is weird because I haven't really been nauseous at all. I feel unfocused today and so tired. My legs are also cramping, that might be because yesterday was "leg day" though at the gym. Blah. I hope I am not getting a cold ...again. DH woke up yesterday with a sore throat and snot everywhere. I swear if he gets me sick again...
I'm so nauseous right now I can't do anything--play with my girls, laundry, grocery shop, clean, etc...and all need to be done. I'm 17w today and need it to go away!
I am so exhausted today. DH got a bad migraine at work today (side effect of the man cold?) and lost his vision so we had to leave early. I was secretly happy (bad wife) b/c it meant I could take a nap and I slept for THREE hours. Could the baby be having a growth spurt?
@bcashaw ugh that's no fun. Hope it is just a one day thing. @2Dash I am the same. I feel great during the day and then I come home from work and can't even relax and enjoy. Over it....
Thanks all! I'm feeling a lot better today. Food poisoning on Tuesday then a bad mental health day on wednesday must have just made my baby go out of wacky a bit so thursday it was all the vomit. I'm soooo much better today and back on track with second trimester which has in reality been a lot better than 1st was for me
Restless legs. Omg. It's taking me hours to fall asleep. Anybody have any ideas to make it go away? It's worst when I've had a long night on my feet at work.
@irishfrisky I feel like this is my answer for everything, but have you tried a warm epsom salt bath? I work on my feet and get home late, I notice a difference in how easily I can settle in to sleep between the nights I soak and the ones I don't.
@irishfrisky I had restless legs before pregnancy and it's increased so much the past two months. It's awful honestly. I also wake up with them aching. I have no solution but you're not alone!!!
@DuchessOfCambridge my answer to that question is usually just "yes" and have heartburn and I'm hungry. Then I try to find food to cure both of those issues!
Plus one for heartburn and hungry all at the same time. Plus I'm super irritated. Like I'm going to punch DH for nothing. Poor guy. But seriously my patience is wavering and I'm loosing my cool every 5 mins. So unlike me!
Got randomly super dizzy and over heated earlier today. I thought I was gonna pass out. I had recently eaten and thought I was hydrated well.... Ran to the bathroom because I thought I was going to be sick... ended up doing a great pee dribble (sigh). Ate a Mars bar and had some water so I'm feeling good now. Maybe it was low sugar? Something? I dunno. Gonna write it in my pregnancy journal and talk to my midwife when I see her.
@MississippiCatfish I can't imagine you being irritable! Sorry you're feeling that way though Is there any way you can escape for an hour and take a bath or nap or something?
So emotional!! It's like every feeling that I experience is enhanced by 100x and I always cry! Happy=cry, sad=cry, excited=cry, mad=cry.. you get the idea. H and I finally had some alone time and I cried the whole time. And I swear I wasn't sad! His face is priceless though as he tried to figure out wtf is going on!
Awe I feel cincearly for you all with indigestion. I have reflux (family thing) I got bad heartburn early to mid first tri no MS but nausea and heartburn so bad but then I all so could manage it since it's not at all uncommon for me to have it anyway. It's so uncomfortable hope it subsides soon go you all. I've fallen into a seemingly symptom free zone where I have little niggles but take it part for the course and don't feel I should complain since I know some of you are really suffering . I also work for myself from home so am blessed to nap when I'm tired or not be bothered if I feel unwell and I know so many don't have the luxury of skipping work when they would rather . Being a first time mum too I don't have other kids to tend to (Not bragging ha ha )so I'm apreciating my position at the moment and am aware it could all be very different
I have had trouble sleeping the Last 4 nights now like I'm uncomfortable but no real reason . Not the belly I don't have one . Not baby moving I can't feel it . But I wake up every hour and a half and it takes a good 40min to go back to sleep . So I'm tired but also just awake I spent a but a decade on all-nighter followed by full days as a life pattern so used to this feeling too but it's frustrating to not sleep well especially when it seems to be no reason for it
@britduhr Oh I hate the "get used to it" flavored comments too Like you have no idea at all that life is going to change or that you are totally ignorant to what babies entail. My sis does this a Lil forgetting I babysit her kids (2,5, and after school 7) like 3 days a week and our brothers girls (1,4) 3-4days overlapping Like yeah I am used to kids stealing my food and asking a million awkward questions and wiping snot on me . They're your kids .
@bcashaw I had a really bad wave of dizzy faint and very I'll feeling when I was waiting for food after doing early glucose tolerance test. Obviously fasting 12 hours then getting blood drawn 3 times in 2 hours and all I had was that awful drink. Then we went to breakfast at a caffé and I nearly passed out waiting for the order my vision went all high contrast and aromatic and my body went flushed and numb Lucky I was sitting and the food was quick. I instantly felt better so maybe it was just blood sugar like you say
Those with restless legs. And concidering baths. Epsom salt is amazing . Up to 1C For adults and safe for kids up to 1/4C i wouldn't use on kids under 3yo. On its own can be very benefiting but you can also add to it . Bicarbonate is a great softener and hymalayan salt has a varity of minerals which can asist. mixing 1/4C each to 1C Esalts and 5-10drops of lavender oil (pure organic eo) Lavender is pregnancy safe and a natural muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory and sleep aid . Perfect for unwinding from a hard stressful busy day . Remember warm baths only
@DuchessOfCambridge you are so sweet. I was mostly just irritated with my in-laws springing a get together at our house today with only a days notice. Wouldn't commit to what food to bring, wouldn't commit to number of people coming (somewhere between 2 adults or 6 adults and 3 kids...) just. Make. Decisions. And stick to them! And give your hosts notice
Heartburn has come back with a vengeance in the form of hiccuping all throughout the day and worst when talking. Really makes talking long to patients and giving report hard. My tongue today at one point felt numb/fuzzy and now I have a strange metallic taste in my mouth even though I hadn't eaten since lunch.
@bcashaw I just feel like I've been peeing all day Up until today it hasn't been bad at all but our toilet paper budget is definitely going up. This is ridiculous.
I think I let myself get dehydrated yesterday. Today I had a few episodes of extreme dry mouth today along with feeling lightheaded, dizzy, short of breath, and overheated and my heart felt like it was racing.
I left work a little early and after drinking a ton of water I feel a little better. My bp was good and baby boy has been kicking like crazy so I'm not worried about that. Just learned my lesson about keeping hydrated.
Re: Symptoms week of 06/04
Morning sickness is refusing to let up, now I am managing to be both nauseous and hungry at the same time... Lol
@2Dash I am the same. I feel great during the day and then I come home from work and can't even relax and enjoy. Over it....
