Symptoms w/o 2/4

Re: Symptoms w/o 2/4

  • @smsaulino did not know about Metamucil capsules. May try that, the drink is disgusting.

  • Today has been miserable. Started last night a little after I got home. Had an awesome day, had first ultra sound, got flu shot, out with a friend for dinner and then we made the cards to send to parents letting them in on the pregnancy. Then nausea hit with the prenatal and I was awake every couple hours wiith a headache which changed over to back pain/more nausea. I've done nothing all day except lay in bed and watch netflix. Hubs has been the sweetest all day just getting whatever is needed.
  • I’m back to being exhausted and useless today. Thought that was ending. DH is at an event all day and I’m so afraid he’ll be disappointed in me for doing nothing all day. I had planned to do all this productive stuff, and he told me I should get my nails done or shop. I haven’t even gotten dressed and can barely eat. I’m worried that I’m not exercising. Doctor said I need to walk every day, and I still don’t have the energy. 
  • @SkilledSailor I’m so glad I’m not the only one (but sorry you’re feeling it too)! I just hate that my Fitbit keeps pinging me to walk and I’m like LOL I’ll walk to the kitchen to get ginger ale? I had high hopes for today and it’s just not happening. 
  • @SkilledSailor or anyone else who has taken it- my midwife wanted me to try the prescription diclegis (rather than unisom and b6) to see if the delayed release formula would help. Did it make you hulk angry? Not flashes of mood like the hormones do, but just angry all day? Also I have been more sick today (after a dose last night) than any other day yet. Hopefully it’s a fluke. 
  • @spottedginger it seemed to work better after I started taking it a couple days. I take it before bed at night and then today I took one more at lunch. Tonight I had real food for dinner for the first time all week. It works well for me.
  • @spottedginger Oh no! Sorry you're feeling that side effect. I actually am not on diclegis. I'm doing the unisom +b6 equivalent. My midwife didn't seem to think the real deal would help me any more than what I'm already doing and suggested Reglan as the next possible step. 
  • @SkilledSailor thanks. Yes. Mine thought it might work better. Worth trying the free samples at least! 
    @klj0228 thanks- I will give it a few days and see if that helps. 
  • @babyg333 have you tried then Kids flavor toothpaste or Tom's? I also hate mint and sometimes the mint is too much. I think Tom's has a very light flavor and kids have things less minty. 
  • I feel like I have been hit with a tranquilizer gun. I have no appetite which further adds to no energy. I can’t stand any strong smells, so I am always gagging/feeling gross. My face and scalp are an oil slick. I need to shower 2x daily. Only upside...No trouble falling asleep. I experienced insomnia last pregnancy, and that was the worst. 
  • On Friday, I was experiencing a small amount of brown/light pink spotting and mild cramping. Yesterday, the cramping was a little worse and my spotting went to bright red (more like a thick, bloody egg white mucus...no large clots). It hasn’t improved today at all. I called the on call OB line yesterday and they told me to go to the ER if I fill a pad in an hour or less and my cramping gets so bad that I need medicine. My first appointment is on Tuesday and I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a weekend to go so quickly in my entire life...I’m going a little nuts over here.

  • @clbness I hope your appointment shows that everything is fine. I can understand how you would be very worried. Try to distract yourself over the next couple of days.

  • @clbness that sounds so stressful, hope it eases up and that all is okay at your appointment. Definitely try to keep busy and always take good care of yourself.
  • @clbness I’m sorry you are going through that. Fingers crossed for good news at the appointment on Tuesday. 
  • @clbness I had some spotting this week and I went to the dr. She told me that there are a ton of reasons why you can bleed or spot at this point. So, I totally understand you being worried and I just want you to know that it’s very possible for everything to be okay. Wishing you the best news at your appointment. 
  • @clbness Keeping fingers crossed for  you. I had that situation happen for me with my son at about 10 weeks. It ended up being a probable sub chorionic bleed, resolved, and everything was fine.

  • @clbness Hope the spotting has cleared up for you! How scary! 

    This is not lady like at all but has anyone else stopped trusting their burps? Despite all my nausea, I haven't thrown up that much. But mostly because I just hold it in. Now it comes up when sometimes when I burp. Blech. 
  • Depressed by how useless this fatigue is making me. Winded by everything. Not having full out nausea but a little queasiness and lack of appetite at times, especially first thing in the mornings. Finished the last of my antibiotics for the bronchitis today but still coughing. The coughing fits mean I'm still peeing my pants and frequently the coughing turns into vomiting. I vomit about once a day. Today there was a splotch of red blood in my vomit. Don't think it was my throat or nose because I (sorry to be gross) made myself cough up some phlegm to try and see if it was my throat. It wasn't much so I'm not really concerned but will keep an eye on it.
    I haven't been taking anything for nausea because I don't feel like I've really been that nauseous - just queasy. But I'm thinking about trying the B6 but I can't find B6 in stores? Just B12 or B complex. Do you have to get it at a vitamin shoppe/ gnc sort of place?

  • @babyg333 EVERY time I have thrown up this and the last pregnancy has been right after brushing my teeth. I usually brush them after breakfast and right before I leave except I had to start brushing them earlier as I would need to rebrush them after getting sick. It’s a vicious cycle.

    @clbness good luck Tuesday! I had red bleeding around this time with DD and everything turned out ok. Thinking good thoughts for you!
  • @SkilledSailor yes to all the burps. And vomit-burps. 

    @Car0liiine did you try amazon? They have b6 in all different strengths. 10-25 mg is what you are probably looking for. 
  • @SkilledSailor @yosemite2018 Thank you! I’m going to call my office first thing this morning in hopes of getting in today. 

    And i I feel you on those vomit burps, woof!

    @Car0liiine I hope your coughing gets better! Coughing/sneezing/laughing and pissing is the worst.

  • @Car0liiine  I only found 100 mg B6 tablets at Walgreens that I quarter (it's a pain)
