Symptoms Thread - Week of July 31

ishmoney · July 2017

I hit the wall two days ago. I am queasy, hungry, and nothing is appealing...this sucks! I get anxious when I start to get hungry every couple of hours because I do not know what I WANT to eat and if it will be appetizing. I just want someone to mind-read and bring the food to me.

I'm tired but figure if I can get 9-10 hours of sleep, I won't need a nap. I go back to work tomorrow and I am nervous about the food and fatigue things cause I had not planned on announcing there til I'm 6 or 7 months

GG620 · July 2017

All.the.nausea. I am so early, but I feel like such crap at work that I feel like my secretary keeps giving me side looks (she is crazy nosy and was always asking when I am having babies, but she means well). I just sit at my desk feeling so queasy and am having such a tough time being productive.

But had a nice weekend and I am pregnant, so happiness all around.

@ishmoney so sorry you are feeling crappy girl. I hope going back to work isn't too difficult! I literally debate calling out of work every day ha

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

My symptoms have calmed down over the weekend. Still slightly nauseous here and there but nothing like it was last week. I finally was able to eat a full meal! Still tired and bloated. Almost out of the 1st trimester so I'm hoping this is the end of MS for me!

ishmoney · July 2017

@GG620, I hope you can at least veg out at your desk? Yes, happiness all around! I have no problems calling out if need be as long as it is not a Thursday since I am monitoring our clinic then, smh. My job (therapist) is annoying because there are so many appointments and hard to just be sick and out.

SoraLk · July 2017

@ishmoney I agree with the mind-reading. Usually I don't know what I want to eat until I realize I didn't want what I made.

I've been going back and forth between days of nausea and no appetite, and days of nausea and starving. So far the snack foods that I've bought have been appealing (carrots, bananas, and Cheetos). Fiance wants me to eat heavier meals, but I keep telling him I can only eat small portions right now. That included two slices of pizza for my craving - he bought me deluxe so I would eat some veggies. Yum!

I also have days where I can't sleep no matter what I do, or when I do sleep my cat thinks it's great fun to wake me up at 6 am still. This morning she didn't get that chance because I woke up from a nightmare with a migraine. It was not fun in the least.

Other than that I just feel like I've been knocked flat by a cold - everywhere aches, I'm congested which isn't helping my nausea, and I'm constantly tired.

ishmoney · July 2017

@SoraLk, that all sounds miserable. Feel better (at least from the cold) soon. I feel like I need to be diligent and enlist some more people to help me! (right now, I have partner, mom, 3 teen sibs) I need more!

sassypants2010 · July 2017

Third pregnancy so you would think I would not be surprised, but this time I get random diarrhea with my wonderful nausea! Nurse told me some moms have that instead of constipation. Bleh! The fatigue feels like it is taking over between prego body and two super active kids, but my son is so sweet yesterday he said " mom you rest I will take care of sissy" heart melt!

SoraLk · July 2017

@ishmoney *small TW* Thank you, I do hope I don't have to feel terrible my entire pregnancy. I guess the plus in all this, is my symptoms have been far more exaggerated than with my first pregnancy - and from what I hear that's generally a good thing after a loss.

scotiagirl · July 2017

Spotted again this AM (third day) so my doctors office directed me to go to the ER. Sitting and waiting to see the ER doc right now. They drew a beta and CBC and I'm guessing ER doc is waiting on getting the results before seeing me....

@scotiagirl, prayers that everything is OK!

Gingermom15 · July 2017

Love to you @scotiagirl I'm sure it was one of those fluke things we can't explain and that baby is in there dancing away.

mamaloba816 · July 2017

Fatigue is still going strong. MS has picked up and is at its peak so far. The worst with DS was 8-10 weeks and I'm 8+3 right now, so I'm hoping it's similar to what it was with him. It was brutal, but short lived.

@ishmoney I also wish I had a mind reader for food. I'm hungry, but nothing sounds appetizing. Last night, I thought of something I wanted and DH cooked it for dinner for me. I couldn't even eat it and ended up just eating broccoli and a plain baked potato. I'm about to try to eat a quesadilla for lunch. Hopefully, it agrees with me.

bookishbaker · July 2017

@scotiagirl T&P!

Gingermom15 · July 2017

I should be 8w2d according to LMP and ovulation time. As soon as a I hit 7 weeks things were bad, nausea, vomiting, gagging while cooking for my toddler. It all seemed to disappear a couple days ago in exchange for the sorest boobs on the planet, but I'll take it. I can finally eat! I feel starved a couple hours after a meal, even if it's huge. So I'm breaking apart meals and snacking throughout the day to curb the hunger and hopefully avoid becoming the whale I did last time

ivfgotthistwice · July 2017

Prayers @scotiagirl

nausea nausea nausea. Some days I wake up with out it and I get worried but by the end of the day it's back. Also, I want to eat but then when I eat what I think I want - I no longer want it.

hullabalou · July 2017

Prayers @scotiagirl.

I thought the worst of the morning sickness had passed this weekend, but it is back with a vengeance this weekend. I have stockpiled plastic bags in my car because I keep having to pull over and vomit while driving. I have an appointment Wednesday and I think I'm going to cave and ask for an RX to help.

ishmoney · July 2017

I'm grateful I have not vomited (prayer, knock wood) so I just stuff some nourishing food in my mouth when I'm hungry. But, I've lost 3-4 pounds so far (I know I'm not getting enough calories) and hoping I can pick up in the next few weeks. @mamaloba816 I just don't like the constant (for me) thinking about food for the next meal. Lol. I start to panic like..."oh no! it's meal time again?? what am I going to do!?"

Food on standby: greek yogurt, watered down yogurt, almond milk, apples, crackers / cheese / avocado...that doesn't even sound like enough. Smh.

babydale2018 · July 2017

I am still so tired all the time! I go to bed at night early and still wake up and feel tired, by 2 PM I am ready for a nap. The nausea has also started in the last couple of days. I have noticed I get it more when I am hungry and usually having something small helps. Just still thankful that I have not had any MS. And breast tenderness is still there, but has died down a lot since the first few weeks!

pumpkinpancake · July 2017

Thinking of you @scotiagirl

I've been dealing with an upset stomach lately, but not nausea. Maybe TMI, but had to run to find a bathroom somewhere yesterday while at the farmers market, which is no fun

Also, this bloating lately is ridiculous. I can't wait to be past the bloat stage and actually have a bump so that I can bust out the maternity clothes.

KristinUM12 · July 2017

@scotiagirl prayers for you!

KristinUM12 · July 2017

Last week was good, and I thought I was past MS, but it came back this weekend during my sister in law's wedding, and then hit hard during the 5 hour car ride home...ugh. And bloating, and tired. I just want to hibernate for a few weeks and wake up when second trimester hits.

Elizabella85 · July 2017

Fatigue and queasy are bad enough, but man, I still have to pee all the time!!!

mdfarmchick · July 2017

scotiagirl · July 2017

Thanks everyone! Beta came back good (19000) just had to wait a while for the result! They sent in a req for an ultrasound so I'll be having that sometime this week but for now all is good. Appreciate all the T&Ps!

ambybambi · July 2017

Prayers for you @scotiagirl!

babybluu · July 2017

So glad things are looking okay @scotiagirl!

for me it's just unrelenting nausea. I hate eating now. And I'm not eating enough. I told my bosses I'd come back to work (took a break for a couple weeks cuz I couldn't serve food while constantly running to the bathroom) next week, but I'm so scared

I'll be 10 weeks but it didn't fully go away for me until I was 15 weeks last time. Right now that's the biggest of my worries

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

I'm so, so tired. As in I rarely ever leave the couch I'm so exhausted. My kids are bored out of their minds but I truly am fighting to stay awake.

mdfarmchick · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv I plan on camping out on the couch today. I also just closed the dog door so the toddler can't escape outside. And I'm parenting by leaving Disney Jr on...

livingthedream-3 · July 2017

I'm tired, like really really tired. My kids need fed and that's kind of a pain.

bookworm40 · July 2017

I'm 5w5d according to my dr this morning when I went in and all I am feeling is sore boobs and some fatigue... some mild cramping every once in a while but other than that, I feel good!

day38 · July 2017

Definitely have the fatigue, and unfortunately my 2 year old wants only mommy right now. So that's not helping. Nausea off and on, and while it's not terrible I didn't really have any my first go around. I now have an aversion to red meat (which I love when I'm not pregnant), and smells really bother me. Which was awesome when we visited a farm with my son this weekend and hung out at the pig sty. Pregnancy brain is back with a vengeance as well.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@mdfarmchick and @chasingroygbiv same here! We made it to the park then it was back on the couch!

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

My nausea has toned it down a bit and I'm starting to want to eat again, but not all foods quite yet. Boobs are still tender, I feel like I'm peeing more than ever, although I'm positive my bladder is out to get me. It's like it waits until right before I fall asleep to start allowing my kidneys to process all the liquids I have consumed for the day and then BAM! Up every hour on the hour peeing, no sleep. Still having vivid dreams when I actually do sleep. Fatigue throughout the day and I feel like my eyesight has gotten worse and my glasses aren't helping. They just give me a bigger headache.

ashleyf911 · July 2017

So much nausea and so much hunger! So awful. All I want to do is eat but everything sounds disgusting. I did finally break out my pregnancy body pillow though, so I've been sleeping AMAZING the past couple nights.

hullabalou · July 2017

Great, now I'm also running a low grade fever and feel like I'm getting a bad cold. I'm ready for this week to be over already.

historeliza · August 2017

Fatigue and the cramps are still there. I do have a cyst on my right ovary which might be why. Having constipation and diarrhea, and when I go it's *ahem* explosive to say the least. Nausea is constant no matter what I eat, how much or how little. I just want this to get better, but each week the symptoms are worse.

cfreddy1 · August 2017

Hyperemesis Gravidarum full force and debilitating headaches. Praying my HG doesn't last the whole pregnancy like my last one. I posted a separate discussion for HG mamas if there are more of you out there. Riding the struggle bus this week.
