How far along are you?
What's going on with your body/baby?

Re: Symptoms 5/14
Baby has officially started moving! I've felt minor movements here and there for the last 3 weeks, but mostly at night when I'm laying down for bed. Today sitting at my desk at work I got this weird feeling almost like being tickled from inside. It's so weird! But super awesome.
I haven't felt anything (I don't think), haven't popped, and no real symptoms. Happy to feel fine, but also a bit of a bummer. Aside from no cycle/PMS, I'm still not sure if I would know I was pregnant.
That is awesome that you can feel baby moving @sammierose464! Congrats!
My fingernails are growing at an alarming rate, and far stronger than ever. It's both annoying and mesmerizing. Ready to move so we can bust out that king-sized bed and I can finally (hopefully) sleep better.
Still not experiencing any movements that don't feel like gas
I've definitely noticed the fingernail growth. It's crazy! I have sciatica that comes and goes. It was pretty bad 2 weeks ago when I was driving for 2 hours every day for rehearsals and concerts. All that sitting...
I've been feeling baby flutters since 13 weeks, believe it or not. I got my first trimester screen and after that ultrasound, there was so much fluttering!! Definitely not gas. Baby definitely hates the ultrasound pressure, haha. Ever since then, I just feel flutters more frequently and a little more intensely. Looking forward to my husband being able to feel them, too.
I felt the first flutters last sunday and since then its been ON. I feel him squirming multiples times every day and I love it. I have started with some back pain which is annoying AF though.
Movements keep coming more and more often and stronger! This part of pregnancy I just love
I am getting tired of picking up every cold though. Congested again and had a terrible sleep! Headaches are still coming all the time and my back is starting to really hurt.
Yesterday in bed I coughed, and I was in so much pain! Weird and scary, like terrible tightening of the uterus.
@nasalot188 I can't wait to get massage! so jealous!

Mostly just dealing with weird dreams and the fact that my body just doesn’t wanna sometimes. (Especially when it is hot outside.)
It has also become rather weird to lay on my stomach. I can feel this strange firmness in my belly that didn’t used to be there.
You guys, I want to cry. I found an umbilical hernia. I didn’t have it yesterday, so I probably got it moving my son from my bed to his last night. Nothing hurt then and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but I can’t think of anything else that would have done it - I mean, I went to sleep after that and while it is a possibility (especially with me) it was likely me moving him. I woke up with it (noticed it was sore when I bumped into the counter in the morning). I’m mad because I have a diastasis from my last pregnancy and should have been doing exercises for it and just kind of stopped caring about fixing it after a while because there was a good chance of it happening again and I figured I’d just fix it after I was done having kids. Had I known it would put me at an increased risk of an umbilical hernia I absolutely would have kept doing them. I looked it up and most things say the only way to fix it is surgery. There are a couple things that say it can be fixed with exercises.... it’s the same exercises I should have been doing all along. I’m just so mad because this was 100% preventable (at least in my case - I am definitely not so big that it would have happened anyway).
@linssears4 I hope everything went well for you today!
@purplegoldfish2 Sorry to hear about the umbilical hernia! Is there anything they can do to treat it during pregnancy? I hope you feel better soon!
@purplegoldfish2 I’m sorry to hear about that? Are you sure it’s a hernia? I had a weird bump I could feel during my last pregnancy, but it can and went depending on baby position.

I generally feel pretty good. I have some upper back pain I need to call the chiropractor about. Movement is daily now, but it’s so low all the time. Anatomy scan tomorrow!!! I had weird ass dream about it last night, I’ll probably post it in the randoms.
I’m just mad because I could have prevented it and because I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. I mean, yeah, he’s 40 lbs, but I’ve been lifting them both throughout the pregnancy - not together anymore because once they got over 35 lbs I could only hold them for a short time, but individually I was fine. Now I’m worried about picking them up at all and making it worse.
Feeling a decent amount of movement now. Didn’t feel DS at all until after 20 weeks, so this is new. Guessing I must not have an antenior placenta this time around.
Otherwise feeling pretty normal. Now peeing twice a night instead of once which is annoying. Random cravings. Nothing too crazy.
I have good days, and I have bad days. Today is not so great

I didn't really mention my symptoms yesterday. The nausea has been coming back lately. I'm taking diclegis at night, but it's not taking all of the nausea away. I've started throwing up (dry heaving) in the AM again. And the exhaustion seems to be back. It's getting harder to be comfortable at night.
18w1d.
Still exhausted, still nauseous with a weird appetite.
Suddenly today my hips are hurting out of no where.
Also feeling a lot of movement lately, which is so awesome.
Very tired and grumpy. I get up a million times a night to pee and baby daddy then tells me HE IS tired. I just wanna knock him out haha.
Some lower abdomen cramping as well. Feels like the baby is just burrowing in there.
I'm super impatient and just moved my scan up a week to next Friday now
Oh, and some carbs.

Part of my travels last week for work were to a conference (thankfully as an attendee, not a vendor). However, I got invited to a dinner at 8pm one night. Who even does that when they aren’t pregnant? I declined. I was asleep before the entrees were served, I’m sure.
ETA: I just got the invite for said dinner... for 6-9pm. Ugh. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
I love to order pizza and eat on my bed when I go to conferences out of town. It. Is. The. Best.
Crampy at times, a few times felt round ligament pain which was fun while rolling over in bed. Movement every once in a while which as a 2nd time mom makes me nervous but def more at night or after I've eaten. Can't wait for my scan next week.
