Symptoms w/o 1/29

What's bugging you, ladies?

morethanamama · January 2018

Yesterday I was SO gassy. I'm just glad my DH was gone most of the day. I ate very well so I'm not sure what it was - I'm thinking it's whatever is in the Starbucks chai latte. It happened to me before (but I forgot), and other places I've had the same drink at didn't give me any issues! Maybe something in their syrup.

Starting my morning with warm lemon water....

Nausea has shown up today. My guess is it is from stress but man, it is nasty today. I know we've all been mentioning dreams but I had nothing but horrible nightmares all weekend. Like waking up almost hyperventilating and sweating type nightmares. I hope these go away soon!

bearrosebudbutterflyrainbow · January 2018

I think last week others were saying this too, but I have been having the most vivid dreams and nightmares. Aside from the constant peeing, this is now waking me up three or four times a night. Ugh! Is this baby training me to wake up periodically through the night alreadyyyy? Anyone out there getting sleep?

On a good note, a happy symptom is I've felt some weird wavy movements in my lower belly (along with the regular gassy movements in my upper belly). Maybe it's the baby saying hello? I'm 17 weeks now, so I think we can start to feel little movements.

ETA: @kissableviv I love chai lattes. Now I am so craving one!

@julybabybear my dreams are also crazy right now. I’m glad I’m not alone. So real that sometimes I wake up and have to take a few minutes to figure out what’s real and what’s not! Not fun. I also can’t sleep in anymore!!! What’s with that lol

WorkinWeezel · January 2018

No crazy dreams here, but I'm with you on the waking up a lot. I have fallen asleep so hard on my sides that my shoulders are killing me in the middle of the night. And the peeing a lot.

Yay @julybabybear for waves of feeling!!!

@kissableviv I also love chai lattes!!!

Sounds like baby to me! Early movement is usually them flipping around in there, because they are still so itty bitty. They are like little swimmers doing flip turns at the end of the lane

wildtot · January 2018

Still with the acne on my back, face, and scalp. Never got it this bad even as a teen.

noideawhatshesdoing · January 2018

@stlmegs Love the comment about swimmers! But also, I have an overactive imagination, my brain is sort of like a cartoon land sometimes, so it was a really funny mental image on a Monday morning!

+1 for the acne. It has calmed down on my face, but my back is whole other story. And of course it really likes to be where any bra straps like to sit. Ugh. Not comfortable.

I haven't been sleeping well at all. I am usually a stomach sleeper, so having to sleep on my side now is like wearing shoes on the wrong feet. So uncomfortable, but it isn't comfortable to sleep on my stomach anymore. My mom got me a crazy pregnancy pillow that it like a giant u-shaped thing. I call it the pool floaty because it takes up so much of the bed. It seems to help some but I think it's going to take a while to adjust to sleeping on my side. Also, my dog discovered my preggo pillow while I was in the shower last night and decided it was the most comfortable thing in the world, had to pick him up to remove him from it because he wouldn't move. And of course he decided to go limp to make it harder. I may be a FTM for a human baby, but some days feel like I already have an 11 year old fur toddler.

Also, if I could go to the f'ing bathroom, I'd cry tears of joy. So uncomfortable. Upping the fiber in my diet today to help. If that doesn't work, I'll resort to pears and prunes. Sorry, I know that was TMI!

zombiehoohaa · January 2018

+1 for the gas
+1 for the vivid dreams
+1 for not being able to sleep well (stomach sleeper here)
+1 for nausea still

I went to Disneyland yesterday and did a lot of walking. I was finding myself having to sit down more often than not because I was out of breath. Also, was experiencing some weird pelvic pains while walking. Now I'm feeling lightheaded/weak this morning. Not sure whats going on.

nimmle · January 2018

I kinda want to start a dreams thread where we can call put our craziest dreams. I swear I've been having winners lately.

Would anyone else be interested in that?

acunamatada · January 2018

@nimmle I love dream threads! I’ve got some doozys!

KatyF0813 · January 2018

I've weaned myself to 1 diclectin at night (was taking 2 at night, one in the morning at one at lunch) so I'm feeling good about that. Struggling with a gagging feeling if I get hungry but no more nausea (knock on wood!). I've had a bad sinus cold and am waking up multiple times a night feeling like I'm drowning so I'm ready to be done with that.... feeling big movements from the baby, like when s/he flips or rolls but no kicks yet!

morethanamama · January 2018

I'm going to try and have a chai latte from another place because I'm really curious about what happened! I know it's normal to be bloated during pregnancy but man, that was out of the blue and lasted ALL DAY. So thankful it's gone this am.
@zombiehoohaa that happened to me at a Christmas party where I walked around the whole night (it was at the Disneyland hotel). I'm thinking maybe it was just more activity than usual? Try to take it easy today.

@noideawhatshesdoing hang in there! The warm lemon water helped with constipation too btw, worth a try?

moguippy · January 2018

@KatyF0813 I also get that gagging feeling. Mostly in the evening or when I go outside and it's freezing. I'm not super nauseous anymore but I just feel like I'm on the verge of gagging/dry heaving a lot. And once I start I can't stop and then I get nauseous from all the dry heaving which makes me dry heave more. It's a vicious cycle

noideawhatshesdoing · January 2018

@kissableviv Thank you! I always start my day off with a warm water with lemon, which is why I'm surprised/annoyed to all of a sudden be having the issue although I know it's all part of the journey. I've been drinking warm water today instead of cold, just hoping that will help along with the increase fiber.

@nimmle YES! Dream thread!

babygagnon2018 · January 2018

Anyone else have Sciatic nerve pain? I ordered one of those girdle things (after 2 weeks of suffering I finally caved) It first started at 13 weeks in my lower back and now at 15 weeks is in my back, butt and leg. I think this is whats causing my headaches too.

Any advice/relief would be AMAZINGLYYYY appreciated

KatyF0813 · January 2018

@moguippy - I find chewing gum really helps

moguippy · January 2018

@KatyF0813 hmm I'm not a gum chewer so I will have to try that

DynamiteTrujillo · January 2018

I just went pee 20 minutes ago and now I have to go again. :sigh:

noideawhatshesdoing · January 2018

@DynamiteTrujillo same!

krystlerr · January 2018

@kissableviv chai tea lattes have always been my favorite drink. I don’t drink coffee but a few weeks ago I ordered a chai tea latte from Starbucks and literally took a few sips and got such a stomach ache. I was so sad! I haven’t tried it since just bc I’ve been worried.

+1 for acne. I have always been somewhat acne prone but now I’m getting cyst like acne in the most random of spots. So annoying!

Another +1 for not sleeping well. My sleep has been so broken up lately. Combine a dog that likes to bark at night with the heavy winds. I’m getting maybe 5 hours if I’m lucky.

adventuresawait1 · January 2018

Love the comments about the wavy feeling and the baby flip turners! So fun. I have been feeling that, too, and is it's so cool. Also, I feel my stomach has grown so much in the last week. Hard to hide at work at this point!

supersara2 · January 2018

+1 for vivid dreams. I had a really benign and random one where my husband bought about 4 different crates of clementines, all different brands. I was like, "Why do you need all these clementines?" And he said he wanted to try the different brands. WHAT?

I also have what I think is a permabloat situation since it's all above my belly button at this point. Or it could be my organs. Or just a delightful mixture of both.

rangey1234 · January 2018

@moguippy I also gag/get nauseous when it’s really cold outside! So weird. I second the chewing gum for when it’s really bad, works for me!

castlec3 · January 2018

Not really a symptom per se but I still haven't gained any weight. I was overweight when I got pregnant and I've lost about 6 or 7 pounds. The scale is still going down slowly. However, my belly is clearly bigger. I'm 5'3" and started pregnancy at 186. I'm now at 179 and the scale goes down just a smidge each week. I feel like its probably okay since I'm overweight but wanted to see if others were in the same boat.

nimmle · January 2018

@castlec3 I started out overweight. Although I haven't gained any weight I haven't lost any weight either. The doctor said it's ok right now but he'd like me to net 20lbs gain by the end.

samjjorgensen · January 2018

New, very odd symptom started in the last week. When I try and fall asleep on my left side my heart races and I feel like I can't breathe. I'm immediately fine when I switch to the other side. SO strange.

moguippy · January 2018

@castlec3 I am in the exact same boat. I started overweight at 5'7" and 190. I'm down to 184 at 15w5d. I lost most of it in the beginning (morning sickness) and another pound a few weeks ago but have been holding there for awhile. But my belly is definitely growing. I haven't said anything to the OB but I might at the next appt if I don't gain anything bc I will be 17w4d by then. I've been attributing it to the morning sickness and that shrinking my stomach, because I just get full so easily and don't eat as much anymore.

michelle_bird · January 2018

I'm very small but considered myself overweight when I got pregnant the last time. I had so many food aversions that I lost a lot in my first tri. My doc told me not to worry at all because mothers in 3rd world countries with much less to eat have babies all the time, and that the baby will take what it needs from me even if it's my very last carrot. I thought it was funny but sweet. Most docs don't want you stressing about weight so they'll only bring it up to you if it's a problem.

My latest symptom that I HATE is bloody noses. UGH. This time they haven't been gushers, but ladies beware - I sneezed in my car last pregnant and got a gusher. Luckily I was at a stop sign and had some napkins in the glove box. Be prepared!

noideawhatshesdoing · January 2018

@MichelleAG05 I've had a few bloody noses here too. Annoying. I usually have tissues close at hand anyway because I have bad allergies, so far no disasters, but I'm sure once my allergy season really kicks off I'll be in trouble.

In other news, my libido seems to be in witness protection or something. Officially MIA since conception. It's like it decided it got what it wanted and now doesn't need be bothered anymore. Someone please tell me it comes back at some point! Anyone else in this boat or am I alone in this?

moguippy · January 2018

@noideawhatshesdoing my libido is also MIA since conception. I was hoping it would come back second trimester but I still get nauseous at night and I'm always exhausted so I'm totally just not in the mood. Poor DH

wildtot · January 2018

@noideawhatshesdoing my libido has been nonexistent since conception too. But i get hints of it while I’m dream (worst timing). I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but just sharing my experience. With DS i was on pelvic rest from confirmed pregnancy to 37 wks. Needless to say my body has been my missing libido since then. Pp body and PPD made it worse. To be honest i was happy we got pregnant so quickly because i would have no energy to do this for months like we did for DS. I’m really hoping it comes back. But sometimes I’m just too tired. Sometimes i think that if i force (wrong word maybe) myself I’ll create those good chemical reactions again and get it back.

michelle_bird · January 2018

@noideawhatshesdoing this won't help you, but if you decide to breastfeed you will likely have no libido either. It puts your body into a state like menopause. I was in the fake it til you make it club for EVER.

Confession: DH recently went out of the country and has to be checked for Zika before we can have sex again. He hasn't made the appointment and I'm not pushing him to do it.

mamabird18 · January 2018

On the flip side my libido is like... crazy out of control the last month. I've also peed my pants twice in the last two days, so the combo isn't ideal.

morethanamama · January 2018

@noideawhatshesdoing I finally got some action this past weekend but for the most part, nada. I'm always in the mood when DH is not around, which sucks! I wish I could booty call him at like 2pm lol. Also DH was shocked and kept telling me he was afraid to hurt the baby...I'm like...we need to take advantage of this time! He got over it thankfully. Haha.

No bloody noses but definitely dry, congested nostrils.

bearmomma1 · January 2018

@noideawhatshesdoing We've had sex once since conception, new years morning. My libido wasn't all that high before either though...

@wildtot I've had so many sex dreams and they usually involve DH. Wish I could channel that in real life

noideawhatshesdoing · January 2018

Thanks ladies! Sorry so many of us are in the "not in the mood" club, but I feel better not being alone in it!

ckmb_1250 · January 2018

@mamabird18 same, since like 11 weeks. glad I'm not the only one

busymommy23 · January 2018

I swear I felt baby move while my ob was trying to find the heatbeat with the doppler today. She pushed on the right side and I felt a whoosh to the left and she said "this little booger wants to run away from me". It was such an odd feeling but thw sound of the heartbeat is just amazing. I could listen to it all day!
