JNCPro3130 I've spotted everyday since my BFP. It's worrisome but there's really nothing you can do about it. If baby is developing normally then baby is developing normally.... I've just come to terms with it. My doctors aren't worried so I try to take a cue from them. I also had a massive bleed and still saw a HB at 6 weeks 4 days. So try not to think worst case scenario. If you up your water intake that might also help. GL.
PUKEY BURPS! I think I just have to burp and then a lil puke comes up with it, lovely. I think I need to do something about my acidic stomach because that's making it worse. I heard baking soda and water helps. I try the natural route first before moving onto meds...any other natural remedies out there for acidic stomach? SHould I cut down on my fruit intake?
Just don't try apple cider vinegar shots. I tried that while pregnant with J, and the puke burned, I couldn't stop crying, and every time I smelled vinegar for months afterwards I would get nauseous. Eat more pickles. It sounds counter intuitive but you want to eat more acidic foods to counter the acid in your gut. What's basically happening is there isn't enough acid to break down the food well enough and it's burns on the way back up. (I googled this years ago.)
I don't know how it would go now, but non-pregnant me loves to drink apple cider vinegar. So weird, I know. Not like an entire glass with dinner, just a little sipping here and there.

The only symptoms I have are cramping, sore boobs and the hormone headaches. Nothing too crazy so far thank goodness. But at the same time, it makes me more anxious for my appointment to "prove" to myself I'm pregnant. I have a neeeeeed to pee on another stick but I'm trying to tame the crazy right now.

Soo me right now on the spotting and bleeding ish, i was scared earlier but my OB said both sacs are intact and cyst too, have been on bed rest for 2weeks now and am still spotting/bleeding here and there, i have another US appointment thsi coming friday, hoping to hear a good news because i still freak out a bit when ever i go in the wash room, wish us luck and hope we r all fine.
I've gained four pounds in two weeks. It's madness. I don't know what to even think about it and I'm convinced my doc is going to be all, slow your roll there lady and I'm going to be all, but food.
@sparkymcgeee here for commiseration! I'm up 3 lbs and I'm starving all the time so no end in sight. Definitely blaming it on the bloat, pass the snacks!
I may have cried and thrown away my scale today. I knew I'd have an unhealthy obsession with it so I took away the temptation. I was WAY more active with DD so I'm worried this time around.
I am too afraid to check the scale. I gained 90 pounds with my second. A ridiculous amount of it was fluid retention from pre-e, but I am desperate to not go through that again!
@justsuzie During my last pregnancy my Ob suggested sipping almond milk to alleviate some of the stomach acid. It seemed to help me, so might be worth a shot if you don't mind almond milk.
I am staying off the scale unless being ordered onto one with a gun or at my Dr office. I spent months working out and safely losing 25 lbs to get to a healthier weight. My own mother made a "joke" about the irony of me losing weight and hitting my first big goal only to get pregnant. Well, I was losing the weight to be more healthy for when I got pregnant again sooooooo I guess it worked? And now I have the confidence to lose the weight again.

I lost about 20 from my loss in April. Gaining four back already is definitely not in my plans. Especially since in my previous pregnancies I lost weight. We'll see what happens but good for you for losing 25. That's wonderful.
I felt lighter the past couple weeks or so, figuring the nausea was keeping me from eating so much. At the visit this am, turned out I was wrong. Gained almost 4 pounds already!
@sparkymcgeee, as long as you and baby are healthy, that's all that matters! DH mentioned gaining sympathy weight with me and I laughed. He's been within 5 lbs of the same weight since we started dating 7 years ago.
The weight gain is actually something that really scares me in regards to keeping it under control since I'm already overweight by a lot. It really sucks because it feels like my nausea is worse when my stomach is empty so I'm constantly eating.
My hunger today was actually a little scary. I could not get enough food in my stomach fast enough. Every two hours I was snacking (mealing, really). Still happy with sore nipples, bloating and nausea to remind me those hormones are floating through me, but my nausea is most severe around 3:00am, so that's interesting.
@charlestonchew the weight gain really scares me too as I'm "healthy" but definitely overweight - especially with this appetite I've developed!
I'm at week 6 tomorrow, feeling some fatigue, tender boobs, and mostly GASSY and HEARTBURN! You can hear my stomach growling from the next room, and every evening terrible heartburn. No nausea yet, when did others start to get morning sickness?
Has anyone felt sharp shooting "lightning" pain in their actual uterus? It's definitely not a cramp, it feels like a nerve firing off almost. It's like lightning crotch but of the uterus.
I described first trimester to my DH tonight as trying to run through waist deep quicksand while battling a stomach virus and a three year old on your back.
So tired. So nauseous. Must keep current child alive.

That's just round ligament pain. It's totally fine. It's just the uterus stretching.

Yes that's what it is, but it still feels like you're being stabbed from the inside out.
@ivyvines6 any excuse to eat more pickles works for me.
@Escardoe Throughout the multitude of google searches I have done (I don't recommend btw) I have found both good and bad outcomes. If there is no cramping or backache that is a good sign but not really indicative to what is going on. Also sometimes bleeding and spotting can be due to a bladder infection or BV. I think my spotting is an irritated cervix due to progesterone suppositories. WHatever it is you can't stop it and if DR says nothing looks bad then trust DR. You may have had another cyst that burst. My dr says early pregnancy bleeding is mysterious...they can put a man on the moon but they cannot find out what causes early pg bleeding and spotting!
@bwow615 I love almond milk! But, haven't had the taste for it. I will try that though because this is getting ridiculous. I would eat dirt if someone told me it would help!
@Ambermom043 I've got that too....weird nerve thing. Don't know what it was. LAsted about 4 days and seems to be gone now.
edit: And let me add my bloat has been gone since I started drinking apple juice and cranberry juice everyday! I could actually suck in my stomach today for the first time in weeks. it only lasted about 30 seconds but it was a minor accomplishment. I also cut out seltzer (weep womp) and I think that was causing a lot of the bloat and gas. (duh)
Round ligament pain, soooo much exhaustion, have to pee all the time, and super thirsty. I feel like having a toddler makes the exhaustion that much worse I just cant hang.
The exhaustion was overwhelming today. I wish my energy level and nausea/vomiting could get under control. I really have been finding it hard to run and I miss it.
@mileswithmyles I feel ya. I'm currently laying in bed sipping sparkling water. My husband wants to go to dinner and there's no way I can stay awake that long.
I went to bed at 7:30 last night. It was wonderful. I want to go to bed so badly right now but DH isn't home and I still have to put the kids to bed. I am so tired.

Hang in there ladies. I know it goes against everything we were ever taught, but some bleeding is apparently "normal". If you haven't had an u/s yet, it could be a subchronic hematoma- I have a fairly large one and my OB warned me to expect more bleeding and said hopefully it will end by second tri.
DD2 is having a Moana themed party in two weeks. I've started setting things up and I cry just looking at the decorations, thinking about all the amazing moments in Moana.
