@carbsandcrabs Woof, sorry about your yucky weekend...I hope your meds work and you're feeling better!
Fatigue, bloating, gas, nausea and shortness of breath! My nausea comes in waves. The 4 days before my BFP were straight nausea, food aversions and no appetite. A few days after BFP, I got my appetite back, but most meats still gross me out. The nausea isn't all day every day anymore, but it's still very present.
Hi ladies, still early for me i'm just 6 weeks, but I am bloating a lot and have to pee A LOT. Swollen breasts accompanied by a dull pain. I'm normally small chested, and my bras are definitely fitting tighter. Some weird cramps come and go, could be gas pains? Also having trouble sleeping but I think that's partly due to my recent loss. Can't quiet my mind. Also want all the cereal and milk. No nausea yet which is rare because seems many have got it it bad!
@carbsandcrabs I am so sorry you are feeling so awful. A friend of mine is a doc and she says get that IV girl. hope your RX helps too.
@faithandababy Mine are changing too, I wasn't a big cereal/milk person and now Its all that sounds good! Hope that was the last of the spotting
@nepatsgirl0627 lemme know if you find anything helps for the gas/bloating, I have been seeing if i get triggered by certain foods, so far haven't noticed anything. I have been drinking water like its my job
@spottedginger@jaylii I too got breathless climbing stairs which as a runner is a little scary! growing this little human is making me winded!
@Redpuma119 that gif though..... love it! I feel the same way!

@carbsandcrabs sorry about your crummy weekend. Hopefully the meds will help and it won’t be like that for a large portion of the pregnancy.
@sclarke7 hopefully you’ll rest better as time goes on. I go to sleep fine, but I wake up at crazy hours and start to think, “I’m pregnant YAy!! what if something happens, are you sure everything is okay, are you feeling how you should”. Commence googling pregnancy symptoms by week. Then I can’t go back to sleep.
@nepatsgirl0627 - Unrelated to this thread, but since this is the first time I've come across a post from you I'm replying here - I'm also a wicked Pats fan! Quite excited and nervous for this weekend!

I don't remember this much shortness of breath in my first pregnancy, but just reading a book to my kid at night as me out of breath. Reading the other comments tho, it doesn't seem uncommon! When I woke up to feed DD in the middle of the night, I noticed my stomach felt a little larger and I felt borderline noticeably pregnant after my shower. My pants are too tight to button, but too loose with the hair tie trick. Thanks semi-bloat.
On zofran, phenergan, unisom, and b6 and still can’t hold down anything by the end of the day. I’m at least somewhat functioning today. I haven’t hardly left my bed or couch pallet in over 2 weeks.
And the one symptom I keep forgetting about...I have no appetite. Like halfway though a small lunch I don't want another bite. Not eating and I don't mix well so it would be great if this would sort itself out soon.

Traded all day nausea for diarrhea today! Yay?? So tired, getting dizzy easily, sore boobs, and thinking about meat makes me queasy. Hope we all start feeling better soon. I do not remember feeling this low at the start of my last pregnancy. I guess comparing is worthless since each one is it’s own special journey. I would very much like to crawl upstairs in bed and ask to be left alone until morning!! (Add moodiness to the list!)
Putting this here cuz it feels like a “symptom”. Everyone is annoying the shit out of me. I take care of my kids but feel like I’m being a bad mom. My 3yo is driving me nuts climbing all over me. My dog is on my last nerve. I’m so tired and on edge. Arguing with my husband more. It sucks. I hate feeling this way!
all day nausea (no vomiting yet.. thank goodness). Unisom helps, but makes me even more tired. How often are you ladies taking unisom? Also, the only food that sounds edible are carbs (and blackberry pie, for some odd reason). I'm so thankful for the prenatal vitamins.. my eating has been horribly unhealthy.

I spent a fair amount of my first pregnancy practically living off of cherry pie. So much delicious pie.
@sclarke7 thank you, me too. None today so that's good! I've been eating gogurts, Mac and cheese and string cheese lol. Is This your first? This is my second baby and no morning sickness, I'm shocked.
Nausea has been terrible but handling it well with small meals. I get depressed when i have a sickness and it’s prolonged, so I’m getting depressed and anxious...I cry because I’m pregnant but I also cry because mentally I just feel off. I hope it goes away soon so I can really enjoy the realities of the exciting baby growing in my belly.
Ok... lately I have been having small crying fits, most for no reason at all... but tonight while working on homework I had a full blown melt down, hyperventilating and all. DH was seriously scared for me and the baby .. school has always made me freak out.. but this definitely was mixed with hormones. I know there are worst things then this that y'all are going through.. I just hate feeling like I can only guess Godzilla feels like. Ugh.
Absolutely exhausted - like, I will not survive one more minute if I don’t close my eyes right now, tired!
No longer nauseous, but super gaggy. I was this was with both girls, more times than not, after I brush my teeth, it stimulates my gag reflex and I puke a little, which means I have to brush my teeth again!
I’m not nauseous between meals, but eating makes me sick. Even if it’s something I wanted to eat. I do find myself needing to eat more often or else I’m hangry and want to throw things.
I am soooo very tired. Switched the laundry... cool I need a nap. Got off the couch to let the dogs out... totally earned a snooze. Good thing I can put DD on her tablet for 30 mins so I can doze off. Or else I’d be dead.
My sciatica is back again. I got it really bad with DD. My right hip and only for a few weeks in the first tri. Thankfully, I remember the the stretches and how to sit so I don’t get really bad pains.
@stothi. My 1st time didn't go well...I seem to have more symptoms this time. Could seriously pass on the insomnia but never thought I'd be so happy to be sick to my stomach all the time!
Anyone know the deal on taking magnesium and or CoQ10 during pregnancy? I'm supposed to take CoQ10 for migraines (per my neuro) and I take magnesium to help sleep (which in turn lessens migraines) but have stopped both. I feel like it's starting to catch up on me. Planing to call my OB but they are not open yet and I will have to wait for a nurse to return my call anyway. Figured I'd see if you ladies had any knowledge while I wait.
I hear you ladies on the exhaustion.. I could use a nap every day. I'm usually asleep by 8:30. Still having intense sushi cravings that I have no way of satisfying.
@EErin86 Omg, I just had a flashback to my pregnancy with DD... I snored SO LOUDLY. My DH couldn't even believe it. At least this time round we have a spare room lol @bpietronicco My hips were super sore my last pregnancy. I found going to the chiropractor once a month helped a lot!

I don't know about the CoQ10 at all but I'm under the impression magnesium is totally fine. I just saw a bottle of pregnant lady supplements that was calcium and magnesium. I have really bad restless leg so I'm going to ask my doc if magnesium really is ok cause I'd like to start taking it since my restless leg med isn't good for pregnancy/nursing.
Do you have restless leg or other sleep disorders? I often wonder how many things go hand in hand with migraine. Like if someone smarter than me could figure out the common source, they could cure it all in one go.
@stothi I would worship the ground walked by anyone who can cure migraine.
I do not have RLS or any other sleep disorders (at least I don't think). I do beleive I have Reynaurds (just haven't seen PCP for diagnosis) and often wonder if there is a link between the 2. My Neuro had me on the CoQ10 because I often wake with migraines. This led him to beleive I have an energy processing issue and the Co helps mitochondria be more efficient. It was definitely making a difference.
I also have vitiligo and both that and Reynaurds are linked to autoimmune disorders so I am sure there is something that just hasn't been caught.

I have the Infant Risk app and it says CoQ10 is possibly safe, but no data available to confirm. The medication safety lookup in the Ovia app does not have CoQ10 listed.
For mag, I couldn't find a general mag to select. It keeps offering mag combos so I don't know which one to check. The 2 mags that come up in the Ovia app are choline magnesium trisalicylate which is a Cat X (I assume this is not what you mean by mag but I wanted to provide everything I had) and plain 'ol magnesium sulfate (I would assume this is more along the correct lines) comes up as a Cat A, which are generally deemed ok.
Not all that helpful since it's just what I get from my apps, but it's something while you're waiting to hear from your dr office.

Thanks you @DanyTargaryen. Sulfate is what I was using/have. Those are pretty much the results I got from a cursory Google search as well. I haven't even called yet (at work and while office mate knows, guy on the other side of our window does not and I prefer it that way).

I've been living off fluffernutter sandwiches with salt and vinegar chips because it's the only thing that isn't making me gag.
With DD, the only thing that didn't make me nauseous or give me unbearable heartburn was spicy salmon rolls with gobsof wasabi. So, I got a meal where I actually enjoyed it and could be full like twice a month.
When you've got all day nausea, you eat what you can when you can.
@prpl11butterfly I have not even considered what will happen when I get a migraine. I get them spring and fall when I have allergies. Please share what you find out as it will likely be helpful for many of us.
How’s everyone’s exhaustion today? What is everyone doing to overcome exhaustion at work? I work from home so I have a little bit of flexibility, but I do have to still actually get work accomplished. Today is the first day I just feel completely drained.
Is anyone else having itchy stretch marks? For some reason last pregnancy my belly and boobs got like half a stretch mark each, in a spot you can't see so who cares. But my thighs and hips got trashed! Crazy deep marks all, and I mean all, over. It looks like I'm an alien or burn survivor or part watermelon or something. They are really intense. Anyhow, they are starting to itch! Really hoping it's just a random one off coincidence and I just got something on me that I reacted to and that this isn't going to be a thing moving forward.
Verdict from OB is that magnesium is safe but not to exceed 350mg from a supplement. CoQ10 is recommended to avoid. 1 study showed it could increase risk if Pre-E while another showed it could decrease the risk *scratches head*. Now waiting on a call from Neuro for their recommendation.
@Redpuma119 interestingly enough yesterday I had some cranberry grape juice and wasn't feeling all that bad. Will be having that again today to see.
So looking forward to 2nd tri when this all evens out
Totally unrelated, I am dissatisfied with the lack of emoji selection.
Lol @Redpuma119 <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/o7/2wfanoq1ik1t.gif" alt=""> @prpl11butterfly So start by typing the : symbol. You should see a momentary dropdown of a few choices. BUT! If you type : + a letter, such as ":a" the options change! So by adding the letter, "a," you can now access angry face, astonished face, anguished face, also naughty face and mask face (?)
So have fun with it! Whatever letter(s) you add after the colon will update the faces listed in the dropdown. :yum: <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/zh/zu4rbh4o7co1.gif" alt="">
I have giphy installed on my phone. When I need a good gif, I go there and use the search tool. Select the gif you want to add to your library, and click on it. Then click and hold and it will save it to your phone. Then in TB, the last little icon across the top of the reply entry field has a picture of a mountain and a down arrow. Click that, then, "choose file," and you'll just browse on over to the giphy folder your phone made when you DLd your first gif. Select the gif you want to add, watch it load, and boom. You'll be giphing up a storm in no time. ;)
You can use that same technique with the mountain / picture to add photos you took on your phone, or screenshots, etc. too. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ni/4zevcmtrvr4z.gif" alt="">
