How are you feeling?

alwayssomethingnew · August 2017

Sigh. Still nauseous at 11w + 4d. In fact, it seems to be getting worse. Thank goodness for zofran, I'm functioning. But it is still a daily struggle.

ash0625 · August 2017

I felt like a new person yesterday. I got SO much done around the house, but I think I overdid it. My hips hurt like crazy today. Like @olitwinturbosnprincess I'm still nauseous at 11+6, but way less so and it doesn't stick around long.

Anyone else dealing with swelling? I think I may have to stop wearing my wedding ring, which makes me sad because I love it.

ETA: I'm in court all afternoon and people have such bad personal hygiene that I'm having trouble keeping my lunch down. I am side-dying the whole lot of them.

alwayssomethingnew · August 2017

@ash0625 It's awesome you were able to get some things done! No help for swelling, but maybe wear your wedding ring on a chain as a necklace?

awb1216 · August 2017

12w4d (or 13w1d by my count) and the nausea finally seems to be subsiding. It's not gone yet, but I had a good day yesterday with Zofran's help and so far so good today with no medication. And food finally is starting to taste good again!

I've started getting mild lower back aches though, but I'll gladly take that over debilitating nausea.

Oh, and feeling pretty good about this:

I had a long day with my in-laws on Saturday, up at 8, left the house at 10:30, returned home at 10 that night, and I felt great all day. Then Sunday I felt like I was hit by a truck. No energy, nauseated in the evening, just awful.

This is exactly how I feel! I feel that I am more on a normal poop schedule, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm 12 weeks 4 days - less nausea (yes!) and felt some RLP over the weekend.

TattoosandLace · August 2017

So tired. So sore.

keshupe29 · August 2017

I'm feeling better nausea wise. But it's being replaced with back pain and RLP. And I feel like I can feel myself growing lol. If that makes sense. 12w1d. Getting ready for the NT ultrasound tomorrow.

brooklyngirl18 · August 2017

still throwing up daily with no end in sight.

eggplantface · August 2017

@keshupe29 I feel the same way! After standing up a lot on Saturday my abdomen was really sore, then yesterday I had a lot of random muscle pains and I even woke up with random pains last night. It's weird. You never hear about this from friends going through pregnancy! Good luck with the NT scan!

magnolia305 · August 2017

@eggplantface I have noticed that if I stay up late or have a super busy day--the next day is rough. I hope you got some rest yesterday!

I thought I was doing better---until I ran to walmart. In the canned good section, I came face to face to a man with a cutoff shirt and some strong BO. I nearly tossed my cookies right there. Then when I got home, I was meal prepping and while cutting up red meat, I had to run to the bathroom. DH had to finish.

Also, I feel like I posted this somewhere maybe? If I have, ignore. Pregnancy brain is real.

smorzandoj · August 2017

I can eat again. But. After sitting in training all day in awful chairs my back is angry and I want to cry bc I can't screw my spine up anymore and the thought of the pain I was in pre/post fusion freaks me out.

ashhsa · August 2017

My Blump is def becoming bump! Time to get into my maternity clothes! Also feel more spew-y but getting a tiny bit more energy! 11weeks

neener*neener* · August 2017

I have occasional heartburn and super oily skin. Other than that, I feel really normal and that worries me

I thought I'd feel reassured after our last U/S at 10 wks... but alas.... still nervous.

MrsJ2410 · August 2017

I think my bump is also becoming more bump than bloat. My belly button is now twice as wide and half as shallow. All maternity clothes for me now I think. I wore maternity leggings all weekend and it was like a revelation!

Totally makes sense. Also I just said to my hubby the other day I feel my uterus expanding and it and my midsection muscles all just ache in a way that is basically just tired and overworked. It's hard to explain but all my stomach and back muscles feel sore and tired.

laurelraido · August 2017

13 +5. I know it's my second time around, but I don't remember the muscles aches and back pain starting so early on! It probably doesn't help that I've been sick for almost a week now... oh, and one of my favorites has shown up, daily headaches. On the upside, nausea has started to take a down swing! (Really hoping I didn't just jinx myself there)

manniebeth · August 2017

12w2d Nausea is getting better but is replaced by a pounding head and feeling pretty depressed and weepy. I've been taking my Prozac as prescribed but just feeling overwhelmed by everything. Not sleeping well at night and I napped for 4 hours today which will prob keep me up but I needed the rest.

kbrinks2 · August 2017

12+3 - Nausea seems to be getting much better! Which is a nice thing and I am not feeling as exhausted as I was for the past month and a half. Here's hoping it stays like that!

KLHauck12 · August 2017

12 weeks 2 days...nausea is hit or miss but not as intense (and no vomiting) but I have been taking 1 zofran each afternoon. Indigestion is better but still there. I don't feel great but I am functioning a lot better, more of an appetite, and not as exhausted. Last Wednesday (for the first time in weeks) I felt great and cleaned my house. Then felt like crap the next few days. The gas and constipation is still really bad and I think it is the main reason for my misery now that I have the zofran helping the nausea. I'm super jealous of those who are back to pooping normally (never thought I'd write that!). I'm either in pain because I can't go or have a stomach ache after taking something that forces me to go!

KLHauck12 · August 2017

Oh I forgot...headaches and some dizziness have been added to the list though. Yuck!

Acreativephipps · August 2017

Most nausea is gone, yea! Acid reflux is bad and I'm still trying to figure that mess out. 13 weeks 4 days

madie008 · August 2017

I have been so busy with work I seem to forget I am pregnate most days.
But I am still dizzy and getting terrible hart burn! Omg and soooo hungry!

rainafire77 · August 2017

Still having occasional brown spotting but nothing heavy enough to show up on a panty liner. And no cramps or pain. DH & I had a little getaway this weekend so I think that could be the cause since almost every time we have a vigorous encounter I have brown spotting for a day a couple of days afterwards. I'm almost 12 weeks so I'm not too concerned & my doctor doesn't seem concerned enough for me to come in again for it. Just wants me to keep an eye on it if it gets heavier. Two US with good strong heartbeats & active baby leads us all to believe it's ok. NT Scan Thursday so I'll feel better seeing the peanut again.

liluvlystar85 · August 2017

13w3d - acid reflex is here. Slight brown discharge. Still naseous. I have my 2nd appt tomorrow!

pandappanderson · August 2017

14w 1d and feeling pretty good! I'm really tired but it's because I'm having a hard time getting comfortable at night due to hip and lower back pain. Other than that no other symptoms left!

my old leggings got a hole in them so I caved and bought 2 maternity ones since I'll need them eventually anyways and gah they are so comffffyyy

love-mom-life · August 2017

Sorry for TMI.... but does anyone else feel "wet"/ gooey down there all the time? All this leaking of pee and discharge is so gross. Pantyliners are a lifesaver, except I have to use a couple a day

love-mom-life · August 2017

Also for those struggling with heartburn try papaya tablets. Amazing!!! Better than tums and better for you!

rainafire77 · August 2017

@xmasbaby15 Same! And my PGAL brain keeps me running to the bathroom to check to see what it is!

I'm so glad I became addicted to Lularoe for awhile. The tall & curvy leggings are perfect maternity pants!

hms1219 · August 2017

12w 1d and heartburn like crazy, and all I want is spicy food or sweet junk food. The restless legs and night time leg cramps are bothering DH more than me. He's my TW Tuesday. He's super grumpy because he's not sleeping (my fault) but now is guilt tripping me like crazy because he's over tired and I suggested one of us sleep in the guest room so he can get some sleep. Apparently that equates to me kicking him out of our room. Grr.

OMG yes! It's the worst thing ever. I also constantly find myself checking it's nothing else.

jlcrunchberry · August 2017

Nauseous! Ugh, so so nauseous. At 12w6d ginger ale isn't doing bunk to relieve it so I've switched to sprite and licorice. Good and Plenties have been my magical, albeit temporary, cure.

Gummy bears have been my cure for hanger.

H has been getting up insanely early the past two days so I've been sleeping in the guest room so his alarm won't wake me, and, FFWC:

And I don't mean that in a creepy I-had-a-lobotomy way, it really is fantastic. I don't get woken up by his flailing limbs and snoring. I honestly worry that separate rooms permanently would cause us to lose intimacy, but I do what I gotta do to get sleep for a few nights. With pregnancy I need all the rest I can get!

rainafire77 · August 2017

Almost 12 weeks and I've got a rip roaring headache which is making me dizzy which is making my nausea return.

On the plus side, I found lemon popsicles at Raleys! I'm eating those right now. Isn't helping the headache but it's keeping the nausea at bay.

atalante · August 2017

Nausea is pretty much gone, but has anyone had good aversions come up where stuff doesn't taste right? Garlic is killing me... A little is ok like in pasta, but chunks of it like on garlic wings or garlic fries is awful. It tastes like bitter soap.

Also the thought of eating mushrooms, which I love, is extremely unappealing.

In the bright side, I am still craving spicy food, fruit, and vegetables, and siggis yogurt might be the best thing I've ever eaten.

Anything heavy in garlic will not stay in my body :-\ And I love garlic. PS super jealous your nausea is going away!

winnie1122 · August 2017

@atalante Yes the food aversions have the been the worst for me this go round. Literally all of my favorite foods repulse me right now, garlic is one of them. Mashed potatoes, avocados in all forms, salad, spaghetti, sandwiches, tacos...I'm dying here. Not really but man I can't wait for food to taste good again. I'm eating fruit and forcing down everything else. I had food aversions with DS too but I didn't remember them being this bad. But maybe I just forgot.

rainafire77 · August 2017

Ok I have seriously peed 50 times today. What the actual hell?
