Symptoms Thread - Week of 7/24

ishmoney · July 2017

Low-grade (1) sore boobies/nipples, (2) nausea/heartburn, and (3) fatigue persissssssst. Oh and a lil bloated -- burping after every meal. Which end, @kiki75?? Lol.

hdaley · July 2017

Gas city, sore boobs, tired ALL the time, vivid dreams that constantly wake me up, slight nausea in the morning if I don't eat right away.

hullabalou · July 2017

I'm always either too hungry (which makes me nauseous) or too full (also makes me nauseous).

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

Nauseated, tired, fainty, RLP, headaches, backache. I notice though if I walk too long I feel crampy and that freaks me out. Hoping for the best.

arhodes6 · July 2017

So. Tired. I took 2 naps yesterday! I have to work today while DS naps so I can't nap and it's making me want to cry. So I guess I'll emotional to this list

gazelle319 · July 2017

The fatigue is killing me these past few days. We were out of town this weekend for an all-day family event Saturday, so that didn't help things. I'm allowing myself a small cup of coffee (well under the 200 mg limit), but it's so hard not to get a second cup.

Also, lower back pain. Partially due to standing all day Friday and Saturday, partially due to lingering lower back pain issues from last pregnancy.

@hullabalou i have the same thing! If my stomach is empty, I feel nauseous, and then when I eat a meal, I feel again feel icky once I'm full. It makes it so hard to figure out what to eat for meals, I want something satisfying that won't make me feel bad afterwards.

notthefather · July 2017

@ABombard12 mentioned it in the ticker change thread: heart palpitations! Ive been experiencing them lately and thought it was anxiety related but apparently it's normal? They're unnerving!

jerseygirl9090 · July 2017

Nauseous continues and seems worse this week especially this morning, fatigue the only thing getting me through my days is my one cup of coffee and my run, vivid weird dreams, lightheaded and bloated

ABombard12 · July 2017

@notthefather thank you for tagging me in this thread! Ugh, I am not sure if my first pregnancy I experienced them or not but man! Sometimes they are so strong its scary! With the cramping and spotting I guess it gives me a little reassurance.

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

The vivid dreams.. ugh so real! Sore boobs. So tired on the weekends after all week at work. Got a slight fever and chest cold this weekend. Headaches, lightheadedness. Nausea is at what I think is its worst right now.

notthefather · July 2017

I don't remember having them early last time but did end up getting an EKG in late second/early third trimester last pregnancy because my heart was doing funny things. I'm just glad you mentioned it!

tlcl13 · July 2017

So so tired! I wake up from one nap ready for my next. Sore boobs, nausea has started to hit, and I have always thought I had restless leg syndrome but it seems 100x worse now. My legs just jerk and move all night long. Wahhhhhhhhh (emotional too).

heatherdubrow · July 2017

I did a body pump class and now I'm eating everything in sight! Anyone else STARVING after working out?

I keep trying to get motivated to work out and can't. I'm hoping in second tri I'll have more energy to power through a work out.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@hullabalou I've been trying to do home workouts and I just can't get motivated! This was my first group fitness class since we moved and I found I was able to power through it way better than doing something at home. Getting there was half the battle!

JBcakes08 · July 2017

My period-like cramps have gone away at this point. I should be 7 weeks tomorrow.

I was typing the previous sentence and thought, 'Am I hungry or nauseous? I can't tell.' I promptly threw up in my mouth and ran to the bathroom to yak for 2 minutes. This is the first sign of nausea/morning sickness I've had since getting my BFP and it hit me out of nowhere. After throwing up I feel better, we'll see what the rest of the day holds.

skuleecat · July 2017

Same!! Can't win!

ambybambi · July 2017

Gassy as well, keep finding things for my husband to do so he will leave the room. Also started my prenatal vitamins and with that always comes nausea for me and nothing sounds appetizing. I'm also having calf cramps this morning.

SP128 · July 2017

Some gassiness, some bloat. I'm flip flopping between exhaustion and insomnia. I may have had one nausea (may have been in my head) yesterday. Re said that it's still early and I prob won't feel anything until early August. Ugh. Just want to feel pregnant to ease my pgal brain

mamaejb · July 2017

Gassy, cramping/burning/bloating (on and off), some nausea but able to control with snacking
betwwen meals, hot flashes in my sleep
at night (I may have to turn down the AC even more), and low back pain.

Staciefacie · July 2017

I've been having bad headaches, I've been having pelvic pain but it's been one sided. My back is killing me, and when I stand I feel so faint. I am feeling okay today but from my the top of my hips down hurts.

mdfarmchick · July 2017

After two days of hardly any nausea, it was back with a vengeance last night and kept waking me up. Plus all the headaches. Ugh

edit for grammar

becausescience · July 2017

I'm still just dealing with fatigue. I have a pit in my stomach, but I think it has to do with DD's dx (see post in STM check in) and is not nausea related. Am feeling a bit bloated.

@heatherdubrow I love BodyPump too! I started it up again like two weeks ago, but then stopped when I found out I was pg as I know you're not supposed to start anything new - and let's just say I hadn't worked out before that in... a while. I was using the Les Mills On Demand app to do the classes as I don't have a gym nearby that offers it. It was pretty cool and I plan on subscribing again pp.

I see I chose an appropriate gif!

[Deleted User] · July 2017

Ugh just so damn tired and peeing every 20 minutes. Unfortunately today is the first day of school so I have to be friendly and perky and I have to hold my pee until class is over. Ughhhhh what I wouldn't give for a cubical job right now...

wisewitch222 · July 2017

@kiki75 That GIF is perfect.

+1 for the vivid dreams! I'm usually a pretty vivid dreamer, so I was never sure how I could tell this was a pregnancy symptom or not, but this past week I've had one pretty much every morning, and they're extremely detailed and weird. Definitely out of the norm, even for me.

I've also got the restless leg syndrome (which didn't set in until much later last time), and some foods have started to taste different to me, though no full-on aversions yet. Just the spaghetti sauce at dinner last night tasted a little metally, and the veggie cream cheese I get on my bagel every Monday also tasted a little off.

lexidawg · July 2017

Sore boobs, gassy and infrequent nausea. It hit me hard yesterday and I puked for the first time but feel ok today.

i_mean_really · July 2017

All. The. Nausea. Having trouble typing about it. And really angry at literally everyone, except DD who can bring me to tears just saying something sweet. I'm a mess, y'all.

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

Anyone else all of a sudden having fears of something happening to you? I, by accident, read about a rare post delivery emergency this morning and I've been a hot mess since. I'm sure my anxiety is kicking in... ugh.

@antoto, I would get downright grumpy near the end of my pregnancies when I had to hold it through the end of class! I can't believe you're starting school already--do you have year-round? I'll send prayers that your bladder survives and treats you nicely (kids, too!)!

@chasingroygbiv I usually get that anxiety in the third trimester and it's fierce. I really can't watch any of those medical dramas, real or imagined, when I'm pregnant because they trigger horrible anxiety and then ultimately, nerves when I go into my clinic and hospital (which is unlike me). Maybe if you read some amazing stories it'll balance it out?!

LiveNLove44 · July 2017

Vivid dreams are usually my main pregnancy symptom, and I love them, but now fatigue and nausea have really taken the driver seat

I feel approximately 60 years older than I am, and I'm all sorts of tired. I'm a little nervous because I am definitely more tired than I was through my last two pregnancies, and I hope the second trimester brings some relief from this symptom. Volleyball season starts mid-August, so my days will go from waking up around 4am to riding a bus home near 11 on match nights (for the late ones). The day is beyond exhausting when I'm not pregnant, and I'm really hoping my body is up for the challenge. I was in my third trimester with DS when I coached my last match before cutting my season short due to preterm labor around 33 weeks. I was hoping that this time around having the season fall right on the second trimester would be a good thing. Fx.

I'm getting warmer now, which I didn't think happened this early last time. I remember running "hot" through the second half of my pregnancies, so it feels really early to feel so warm all the time.

I had a really bad day on Saturday and then the last two days have been pretty good. I'm trying to seize the good days and make the most of them, but I tend to overdo it then. Here's to finding balance this week...

ksmwalters · July 2017

Ok y'all, no idea if this is a symptom, but I had the MOST VIVID dream last night/this morning that a rattlesnake was in our bedroom/bed and I had to save our dog from it. I killed it with my hamsa/evil eye keychain (they're protection symbols, which makes it extra freaky). I've been googling snake dream interpretations all day. Oh, and my boobs have never been more sore and I'm sleeping like 10 hours a night.

tirola · July 2017

Exhausted, nauseous 24/7 and emotional as heck. I just want to sleep for days.

[Deleted User] · July 2017

@LiveNLove44 yep we are year round! We do get a summer but it's a few weeks shorter than everyone else's.

DDRRT1982 · July 2017

I have gotten a small reprieve from the debilitating fatigue today. I actually did laundry. I looked back in my last baby's journal and it said finally at 11w5d I felt great. That's so far away. I want to feel normal again.

cnamommyof2 · July 2017

Anybody else feel better this time around compared to their last pregnancy? Maybe I'm having a boy this time?! Lol

kalawa · July 2017

Everything amped up this week. Vomitting all. The. Time. Starving, but nothing tastes, or is, appetizing. Sore everywhere. Exhausted...which is the hardest for me. I'm a very energetic person by nature, and now I'm needing to nap twice a day to function.

lfinley87 · July 2017

Gut rut and gassy!

LiveNLove44 · July 2017

@kforbes14 I felt better with my second pregnancy than my first, and my first is a girl while my second is a boy. I'll be honest, I think the odds are still a good 50/50, but it's interesting to see everyone's experiences! I'm guessing girl this time because I feel like crap, but my intuition on this is usually wrong
