Re: Symptoms 5/1
I have been hit with such exhaustion the past two days and weight gain.
Mostly, my issues are with sleeping...can't get comfortable, my hips ache, and I have a really bad knot in my back that just won't quit
Up all night with anxiety about the baby being healthy....this anatomy scan can't come soon enough....
As for symptoms, my skin is extra oily and in overdrive. I am breaking out like crazy and its making me feel so self-conscious. Grr... any suggestions to help ?? I read to use apple cider vinegar as an astringent to help dry out some of the oils.
Morning sickness is still in effect although starting to have days where it’s easing up some. Energy is also thankfully starting to come back which means I can stay up until an almost normal bedtime finally! Other than that feeling pretty normal other than always being hungry!
Where’s the dermatologist post? I’d like to read it too. My face is a disaster.
I'm starting to feel better overall, more "normal". I am still throwing up most mornings, but then I'm usually good for the day. I'm super itchy, I probably need to get better about using lotion. It mostly bothers me at night when I'm trying to sleep. Sleeping is hard to get comfortable. My food aversions are getting better.
I'm mostly just really emotional. It's probably due to feeling overwhelmed at work. Today I'm just getting annoyed at all the little crap that keeps going wrong (that's out of my hands) that ends up being more work for me.
I think I've felt movement, but I'm not sure yet. I don't confuse it with gas...I know that feeling! It's more of me questioning if there was actually something there or if I'm hyper aware of any feelings in my stomach.

Do the migraines ever stop? My daily 2 Tylenol is not cutting it and I get these suckers almost daily now. (Asked my dr 2 weeks ago at last checkup and she said its normal and to stay hydrayed, but I’m losing my mind.)
Not much by way of physical symptoms this week. However, the emotional landscape is a different story. I’m trying really hard to be my usual happy self, but I run out of energy at the end of the day to deal with people.
I do have more energy to get stuff done, but I find I need to do things in bursts- work for 20-30 min; sit down for 15-20 min. So, things are getting done again, just at a jerky pace.
As for bedtime- I am done with people by 8pm, but can stay up until 9:30-10 if I am doing quiet things at home. Sleeping is hit or miss- dreams are weird, and I may or may not spend most of rhe the night tossing and turning. A warm shower before I lie down seems to help.
I'm feeling movements a lot now! Started feeling them around 15wks. But for the FTMs that are a bit worried...I didnt feel movement with my first until after 18wks and I had a posterior placenta. So dont worry! It'll come
I'm still nauseous here and there, mostly In the mornings. The headaches are killer.
I can stay up later but I still dont have a ton of energy to get things done, hoping that changes soon.
Oh and +1 to breaking out like a hormonal teenager. Ugh
Feeling pretty good these days. Haven’t had many symptoms tho FTM so I’m worried about that, and here in Canada and live in a small town without the option of an extra scan. I got to see baby once at my 11 week scan but haven’t had the chance at hearing the heartbeat yet. My only major symptom is these terrible headaches, since my food aversions have gone away I have been trying to stay away from eating carbs and eating a lot of fruits and veggies. I think I might be lacking on food but afraid to gain too much weight since I am already a bigger girl.
I’ve had a few pretty crazy dreams.
My skin varies between super oily with breakouts and super dry in random patches.
I feel pretty great most of the time, but I had two random days of extremely painful cramping. Both times it was a day after having sex so I’m not sure if it’s related? It doesn’t happen every time but that seems to be the only parallel between the instances and I can’t figure it out. Ugh.
Also- I drink most of my water before 5pm. I still drink through the evening, but not enough that I need to pee every 30 min...
17+1 here
@lolo_0924 I’m also sweatier! Maybe there’s some sort of explanation connected to all the extra blood?
My biggest challenge right now is just getting annoyed at the smallest of things and not being able to let go, so it haunts me for hours or even days! I hate it. Anyone found a way to fight this?
I have a friend who knows me really well, and whose judgment I trust. I talk to him about whatever the thing is, and he helps me figure out if I am overreacting, or if things are likely as I perceive them. If I need to craft a response, he also helps me with tone so I don’t come off as super bitchy. He’s also really good about letting me come to my own conclusions about whether I’m being hormonal right now (and sometimes it is both- that I’m not wrong but am super hormonal).
It doesn’t always help with the grumpiness, but it does help with the second guessing.
