@mytinc same. We are trying to clean out the house for our buyers to have a final walk through this evening and I just have no energy. I’m taking a break right now and all I can think about is the nap I’m not getting today.
As for all the lovins--SO and I were non-stop to the point if we didn't for 1 day I thought I was doing something wrong. I had a lackluster romantic life with my Ex of 15 years and now I feel like I've been making up for lost time. My hormones are definitely all over the map.
Last night we ate a delicious dinner at Longhorn (chili cheese fries looking at you “what my pregnant self is eating” thread) and then I walked outside to the car and promptly threw it up in the grass. This is the first time this pregnancy. Kind of hurt my feelings to spend so much on dinner just to toss the cookies before we even left the parking lot. Shout out to the poor guy parking down below at TMobile who showed up in time to watch the whole thing.
@NamelessAria If you consistently take it every night your body adjusts somewhat and the grogginess gets better. Taking it 2 hours before bed helps and can try taking one instead of two to start. Im on one and it’s helping.
@tammy574 That's good to know! I've been really scared to take it again after that first time. I struggled so hard the next day. I'll try one tonight and see how that does. At least if I'm groggy tomorrow it's the weekend so I don't have to struggle through a workday. Maybe by Monday I'll be at least a tiny bit adjusted.

Well, I guess I am more emotional than I would be non-pregnant because I ordered food delivery, and it showed up wrong, and I immediately started sobbing. So, there's that.
I'm 6+2. Only symptoms so far are extreme shortness of breath and no appetite. I have occassional nausea but I've been able to fend it off with crackers and water. Last time I would gag/dry heave every morning brushing my teeth and I had horrible, horrible smell aversions. I'm hoping I get to skip those this time
Is anybody else having off and on aching in their ovary area?. Mine is more pronounced on left side but sometimes is on the right as well.
Since I have yet to get an ultrasound (my office waits until 12 weeks unless you are having difficulties), I am so paranoid about an ectopic. I know most women describe that pain as much more intense than just nagging, but then you read about women who have no pain up until rupture.
The internet is both a blessing and a curse.
Truly considering going to an outside ultrasound place or else I am going to make myself crazy for 4 weeks.
I am sitting in self loathing upset stomach where I feel like I need to eat but nothing tastes good and i still feel like crap. My kids are being entertained by TV and I cannot wait till bedtime. Poor hubbys not gonna see much of me when he gets home tonight.
@amys614, it's probably a cyst on your ovary from ovulation. Don't panic unless the pain gets worse. Cysts are a normal part of pregnancy, as it is the corpus luteum that produces progesterone to support the pregnancy and prevent the shedding of your uterine lining in the first trimester before the placenta picks up this role.

@mrsfantasticfox I'm with you. My MS has been amping up the past few days. Snacking no longer helps. I swear it wasn't this bad in previous pregnancies but maybe I just forget. Kids are getting LOTS of tv.
@llamamama14 our kids will survive! In previous pregnancies I threw up a TON so I’m just waiting for that. Right now it’s mostly just icky feeling and nausea. Last pregnancy I swore I’d never get pregnant again it was so bad.
I'm 7+1 today and my shortness of breath is out of control. I was walking home from brunch yesterday and had to stop and hail a cab. I was huffing and puffing and my heart was beating like crazy. This is completely out of character for me - I work out regularly and walk all over the city. I'm hoping this is temporary.
@mrsfantasticfox Ugh. I've never thrown up though sometimes I've wished I would so I would have some relief. I started B6 and I haven't noticed an improvement in my nausea but I have noticed a big increase in energy so that's something.
I am officially hating this portion of pregnancy. This is way worse than my first. I have had so much nausea and vomiting that my OB had me admitted me to the hospital twice in the past week for IV fluids and to check in on baby. At second visit, they did an ultrasound at my 9 week mark and baby’s heart rate was 185 which the doc said was a little higher than normal. This of course had me going crazy worried, but after some googling, it seems to be common enough not to freak out. I’m also getting migraines about once a week. I’m miserable, but trying to get through this phase (fingers crossed it’s actually a phase)! I’m on diclegis and took Zofran while in the hospital. Wish me luck that this goes by fast ladies!
@llamamama14 I think someone said the B6 takes about 3-5 days to kick in. I took B6 by itself for about a week before adding unisom. The unisom made more of a difference I think. I haven't thrown up either and also wish that I would just to end the constant nausea.
@halesnwhales so many hugs to you. the migraines might be caused by dehydration so hopefully the fluids at the hospital help. This time around has been way worse for me too, but not nearly as bad as you are dealing with. I'm with you in hoping it goes by quickly!
@marcus7676 that's good to know. I started B6 on Thursday night, I think. I haven't done Unisom yet. I bought some. Just a bit nervous about grogginess. I'll probably add it in a few days.
Got hit by waves of nausea for the first time yesterday. I've felt queasy a few times in the past few weeks, but yesterday was the first time it was like "Yep I might throw up" as opposed to just feeling a little funky. I've also been super crabby. Got mad at my DD this morning for something that really wasn't a big deal, immediately felt like world's worst mom and spent the next several minutes hugging and kissing her. I'm a roller coaster of emotions, man.
i am so bloated this this morning that my work pants can't comfortably button. It's ridiculous I look like I'm showing but I know it's just bloat and constipation. However I think I'm going to have to get maternity work pants soon. I'm a different size than my last pregnancy so none of my old stuff fits, has anyone found really nice professional maternity work pans anywhere?

Yesterday and this morning have been horrible for me but I’m really trying not to complain
@halesnwhales That sucks, sorry.
