Symptoms 2/1

ecwk · February 2018

@brzvice I’d recommend going to a beauty counter/Sephora/Ulta and getting them to help find something suitable for your skin type. One thing I would say is to invest in a decent primer. I cannot put foundation directly on my skin, I will look ridiculous!! It will create a nice smooth base for your foundation.

Edit spelling

brzvice · February 2018

@ecwk I need an excuse to get my caterpillars over to the Ulta brow bar so definitely will ask while I am there. Thank you!

I hate hearing that a lot of you are still feeling nauseous. My MS is mostly gone. I still have to watch my portions at night, because that's when I feel the worst. If I eat too much I feel like my stomach is going to explode. I've gotten a little more energy too, but headaches have started to kick in. My boobs are a little more sore, and I'm getting some sciatica pain. Not much. I hope it stays this mild cuz I had it BAD with DD.

scottishlass1213 · February 2018

I'm using a smashbox product right now. I also really like the Bye Bye line at Sephora/Ulta, especially their under eye concealer. They just came out with a Bye Bye Redness one too I may try to grab.

I scheduled a facial for next weekend LOL

redheadbride15 · February 2018

@kburg15 do not get me started on what bullshit BMI is. I have a muscular/athletic build and have weighed the same amount my entire non-pregnant adult life. My BMI is elevated but my body fat composition is smack in the middle of “healthy” range. I open a can of whoop-ass on any healthcare provider who tells me I’m overweight because of my BMI. Fortunately my OB doesn’t, because she’s actually objective.

Firemanswife11 · February 2018

@brzvice I still have my linea nigra from 3 years ago! Hahaha!

redheadbride15 · February 2018

Also add me to the terrible skin camp. I have adult acne at baseline, and my normal skincare routine is a salicylic acid facial wash and Retin-A, both of which are contraindicated in pregnancy, so my skin is going through a serious revolt. Frequent exfoliation (using Clarisonic) helps somewhat, but I recall from my first pregnancy that I just have to get through the first trimester and then my skin was gorgeous. Man, first trimester sucks in so many ways...

alinafed · February 2018

I agree with everyone about BMI. I am 6' tall so BMI is really skewed the other way for me - my normal range is 140-177 but at 177 I definitely do not find I am at a healthy weight. I feel like for short people they are technically "overweight" way before they actually are according to BMI (like my best friend is almost always over her "normal" BMI range because she is really short, but she is more toned than me), but for tall ppl we can be quite big and still a "normal" BMI - total bullsh*t.

carrotsandpeas3 · February 2018

Got cocky and didn't take my diclegis last night which resulted in me throwing up for the first time in 2 weeks. I'm not sure if there is any sort of "rebound nausea" with going off of it or if my nausea was still there and just being treated well? Guess I will keep taking it for a while because I still have half a bottle. Come on 2nd trimester!!

missybutler94 · February 2018

@doctormom33 I'm not taking real diclegis but I take b6 with half a unisom every night, and I skipped one night and majorly paid for it the next day too. I was horribly nauseated ALL day and threw up twice. I hope there isn't rebound nausea from taking it

ladygali · February 2018

Add me to the nausea club. It seems to be getting a tiny bit better but I pretty much have to force myself to eat. Fresh fruit has been the only thing that sounds good lately.

My skin isn’t great, I have all these little bumps near my hairline. It’s weird. And dark circles under my eyes because I can’t seem to get enough rest. I’m lovely, lol.

Iv'e never used liquid makeup or foundation before so I may give it a try this time around. Any products you ladies swear by for cover up/ concealer/ foundation?

I've been using Missha BB Cream for about a year. It's pretty much a tinted moisturizer. I have combination skin and this doesn't make me break out, even though I'm lazy about washing my face some nights. I buy it on Amazon. I follow up with pressed powder if I need more coverage or if I look too shiny.

IvorySoapGirl · February 2018

And, oh yeah, at 12 weeks the nausea is finally subsiding. I feel for all you ladies who are starting your 2nd tri and still feeling crappy. Hang in there! I hope it gets better soon!

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@brzvice - I've been using Urban Decay Naked Skin one & done this pregnancy - it's more medium coverage but evens things out. I've been so splotchy this pregnancy!

Taylovesbrad · February 2018

Is anyone having trouble sleeping? I’m waking up quite a bit and have a hard time falling asleep.

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@Taylovesbrad - YES! It's my biggest complaint right now. I can fall asleep easily at like 8pm but if anything wakes me up from that point on it's all over. I've thought about taking 1/2 a unisom (my OB's recommendation) to try to help get better sleep, have you talked to your OB about it?

7425cait · February 2018

^Same! I can fall asleep no problem, but then feel like I toss and turn all night. Wake up to pee at least once and it's just not restful sleep from like 3am on.

lalala2004 · February 2018

I'm so tired and hungry, and I ran out of snacks. I'm pretty sure work is making me stay late. Somebody needs to feed me before I snap!

lalala2004 · February 2018

Oh, snap. DH is coming to switch cars with me since I'm having to stay late and so he can pick up DS, so I asked him to bring me food. Crisis averted.

Firemanswife11 · February 2018

@lalala2004 yay DH!

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@lalala2004 That's awesome about your DH!!!

lalala2004 · February 2018

Well. I ate what he brought, but I’m still hungry. When are we supposed to start eating more calories? Cause baby says it’s now.

hfooter · February 2018

Well just threw up for the first time this pregnancy. Why are my symptoms getting worse and not better, whaaaaaaaaaa

derbysquirrel · February 2018

I started having some cramping today, and I'm trying to not let it freak me out. It is intermittent, and no other problematic symptoms, so I am guessing it is just my abs stretching?

Firemanswife11 · February 2018

@derbysquirrel same here. 12w today so I'm assuming it's stretching. I got out the doppler for a bit and probably used it too long, let's be honest, because this babe is apparently an Olympic swimmer and does noooot like the doppler at all. But yeah my bet is on stretching 'n' stuff.

pghctwife · February 2018

Probably belongs in randoms but that post is like 9 pages long and I’m 100s behind and I just can’t even.

just texted dh who’s out with friends that when he gets home he has to plunge the boys toilet bc it won’t go down and the mere sight of it I was swallowing my vomit bavk (since I obviously could NOT puke in that toilet bowl omg.

Normally I’m unphased!

mozartsmuse · February 2018

I’m gagging on snot. I blow my nose it doesn’t help. I don’t have a cold. I gag until I think I’m going to vomit. Drinking water helps but uhhhh I’m over this gagging!

pghctwife · February 2018

Me too @mozartsmuse! I have a very very minor cold and it’s sooooo gag inducing. A little coughing yesterday (during which I peed myself) pushed me over the edge to puking. Blah.

Oops was that not 8 weeks ago?

.

I am so snotty these days too, every morning I wake up and my nose is just full of snot. I don’t think I have a cold or allergies or anything, just extra snot, super fun.

Taylovesbrad · February 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 I haven’t yet. I’ve taken one tylonel pm occasionally. I’m going to talk to the doc next time. I wish I could just take melatonin but I know above 3mg is not safe for pregnancy

elsieisamoocow · February 2018

Ugh me too! It's terrible. I've got such bad pregnancy congestion and half of the time when I blow my nose it triggers my gag reflex and then I am dry heaving in my sink and trying not to actually puke.

My nausea seems to be getting worse now that I'm 13w3d, but it also could be that I have had so many food aversions lately that my stomach is just too empty. Blech.

aj1327 · February 2018

I started feeling great at 14 weeks and then got the flu, started on tamiflu and have kept nothing down today. DH really thinks I should keep taking it but I feel like it’s making me feel worse than the actual flu is.

I’m over sickness and just want us all to be well!

neeraja_k · February 2018

Most of my symptoms have really calmed down in the last week. I'm rarely queasy anymore, just mostly when I don't eat for long periods, but it goes away once I have a snack. Boobs aren't as sore, which is nice, it was getting agonizing rolling over in bed. The bloating is gone. And my appetite seems to have returned a bit.

*TMI* That said, I think I have a new thing, hemorrhoids. I'm only 11 weeks, so I'm not sure if there's a "usual" time they show up, but this seems early to me. Plus coupled with the fact that due to my Metformin I go more often than normal, so I'm the furthest from constipated or having to strain to go. But today's BM took longer than normal, no straining though, but when I wiped there was a drop of blood on the paper. No pain, no itching, so no idea. I've never had them before, so it's new territory to me. Sigh.

lakesideknitter · February 2018

@neeraja_k if it's just a drop of blood while wiping, I don't think it's necessarily hemorrhoids. Could just be from wiping, especially if you go a lot. They can just show up tho, even without straining. Something about increased blood flow and pressure on the pelvis.

roadspeckle · February 2018

I ran out of unisom last night and paid for it all day. I had to take Zofran yesterday and wow. I remember why I try not to take it. Constipation blows. Nausea sucks also. I have been craving spaghetti and so DH made some and now I may die.

elsieisamoocow · February 2018

DH took the diaper trash out of DS's diaper pail today while I was getting him ready for his nap, and when the smell hit my nose I had to bolt to the bathroom and puke. Thank god DS is almost totally potty trained! Toddler poop is so effing gross, especially while pregnant

If nothing else, it just means I'm adding a new diaper pail to the new baby's shopping list now!

hezzer78 · February 2018

@ladygali I'm breaking out along my hairline too... I thought it might have been to new shampoo, but maybe it's just general 1st tri skin crapiness.

Boobs have been extra sore lately. I thought that was going away but it's come back with a vengeance. I'm about 11w4d today.

jsnakehole · February 2018

I'm also broken out, but it's 90% big blackheads- like Dr. Pimple Popper level blackheads. And not just on my face- on my butt and back! I thought I was done with butt-ne after I hit puberty.

redheadbride15 · February 2018

@elsieisamoocow My MS isn’t very bad but the only two times I’ve puked so far were both associated with toddler poops...

lalala2004 · February 2018

I’m already noticing linea negra. Seems earlier than last time. Although I was likely less aware of it last time...
