Symptoms - week of 6/10

snackheart · June 2018

How is everyone feeling this week?

lmfs90 · June 2018

Been so sick I can barely get out of bed. Everything is making me nauseous, foods, smells, even the way things look. I’ve been so tired, I sleep constantly. Thank god for preschool and husbands who work from home to take care of my 3yo. Also I have this horrible rash all over my abdomen chest and neck. I’m over this pregnancy already.

wkuandrea · June 2018

@lmfs90 I am getting rashes too -- on my bra band line in the front, in the curve of my lower back, on my hips, etc. Almost like hives, but not quite. Sorry that it's been a crapshow already!

lmfs90 · June 2018

@wkuandrea I’ve never had the rashes with pregnancy before !! It’s driving me crazy. I hope yours gets better soon!!

ladystout08 · June 2018

My booooooooooooooooooooobs. Man, that's like my #1 symptom. I can mostly keep the nausea at bay if I eat every couple of hours *and* I don't prepare anything, ha!

I'm crying at everything which is super annoying.

bwild89 · June 2018

Get sick to my stomach evening and morning. My boobs feel like they have doubled. Also breaking out a lot so that is not fun, aversion to meat is also starting which I am sure is not healthy because I want is carbs and pasta.

saltedcaramel518 · June 2018

Week 7 is starting off trying to kick me in the butt. I feel awful today. Sooo tired.

Also, I don’t know if it’s hormones or what, but *everything* DH does is annoying the crap out of me. I’ve actually been avoiding talking to him as much so I don’t fly off the handle over something unnecessarily.

ladystout08 · June 2018

@wkuandrea @lmfs90 that stinks about the rashes. Does choleostasis show this early on?

wkuandrea · June 2018

@ladystout08 I googled it -- apparently that's only late in pregnancy, and it's specifically itching without a rash. So hooray my liver isn't effed up yet! LOL
(I joke about this because I already have a bevy of other health issues, including kidney disease)

ladystout08 · June 2018

@wkuandrea well at least it's not that? lol You poor thing, hopefully you get some relief soon.

I have a friend who just had it so it was fresh in my mind.

wkuandrea · June 2018

@ladystout08 @lmfs90 I put some hydrocortizone on a few spots and it really helped.

wnn1992 · June 2018

My boobs are so sore

Ladybugs42 · June 2018

Hope the rashes clear up, guys, that is no fun!

I'm just struggling to keep down something other than ramen/watermelon/bacon egg & cheese bagels/hash browns. Ugh.

peachy104 · June 2018

So tired. Slept pretty much all day yesterday. And doing chores exhausts me. A bit cranky and irritable for no reason. Totally crying more than usual. Bloat and gas are still hanging around...

But I’m finally able to eat a bit better. Protein is back on the menu!

ramfam2507 · June 2018

All I can eat are carbs. My husband isn’t allowed to cook anymore because I can’t deal with the stink. Diarrhea. I’ve always been super constipated with my other pregnancies so diarrhea is new for me. I’m super exhausted during the day but can’t sleep at night. This blows.

bwild89 · June 2018

Sooo boobs feel super huge, the thought of meat grosses me out. Starting to get sick both evening and morning. I just want to nap every 3 hours....I feel so guilty about it. Oh and acne that is a fun one as well. Hopefully it gets better from here haha

luckymay2x · June 2018

I've got the constant hunger/nausea thing with strong aversions (mainly meat and fat of any type). I only vomit occasionally tho, much more rare than 1st pregnancy so far. My nipples are soooo itchy.

Very tired and irritable AF.

kkb0520 · June 2018

I am so tired. I manage to hold it together on work days and work the full 8 hour day, with a nap as soon as I’m home, but on weekend days I’m sleeping a ridiculous amount. My hubby works the night shift in his job, so I’ve fallen into the habit of sleeping with him from 2-8pmish, getting up to send him off, and then going back to sleep around midnight and sleeping until 8am or later. Pretty sure I could sleep a full 20 hours a day if I didn’t set alarms. I’ve always been a good sleeper and I want to listen to my body but this is a little much even for me.

I see my doctor tomorrow so I’m going to share and make sure there’s nothing to be concerned about.

merostomata · June 2018

9+3 today

Still tired/boobs/bloated/queasy

I'm so sick of being bloated and uncomfortable. Energy is slightly better than in the past weeks.

Emotionally just kind of bla and flat. I'm over feeling this way and want to crawl in a hole until the 1st tri is over.

Super duper sense of smell though! All those routine house chores I've been neglecting are stinking now! (aka deep cleaning the bathroom, cat box, bleaching the sink etc)

ersh1010 · June 2018

10+0 and I'm just soooo tired

thywillbedone · June 2018

10wks today and I stay yawning all the time...can't sleep at night but so tired in the day...nipples are itchy some but breasts are not sore...nothing is comfortable except dresses....my bra almost doesn't fit around me lol...I'm not really nauseated anymore but I can only eat a little before I feel full...I currently have a severe sinus cold and so I can't breathe lol....BUT I'm not complaining about anything because we've prayed too hard and have too much faith...hope everyone gets better

thisnthat314 · June 2018

So decided since im overweight ( according to BMI yesterday at the dr) I would run this morning. BIG MISTAKE. Trash day= first mile out and last back past trashcans resulting in gagging and actually throwing up

AliKay20 · June 2018

I’m hungry ALL THE TIME. Just when I thought this fatigue was tolerable, I am super tired today. 8 weeks on Thursday. No amount of sleep seems to be helping. Oh and hello sore boobs. I can’t even hold DD bc of contact. Wind blowing on them makes me cringe.

Improvement? Nausea. Maybe that’s why my appetite increased

After my first pregnancy I started getting pressure rashes from my bras, pants, socks and sometimes things like carrying too many groceries bags at once. I will get super itchy hives if anything is remotely tight. It's eased up a lot over time. Sounds like that could be happening to you. I'm sorry. It's so itchy!!

bb2510 · June 2018

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, reading all of these posts. Hoping it gets better for all of you soon.

I'm 8+4 and feel the same way about smells, fatigue, irritability, etc. etc. Sometimes there are good days so I try to make the most of them...
Has anyone tried probiotics for constipation? I tried one today, hoping it helps...not even coffee can make me go anymore.

bdream0916 · June 2018

Does anyone else want to vomit when DH kisses them? Something about his smell (which doesn't stink at all) is totally getting to me. I feel horrible.

greenhillgirl · June 2018

bb2510 I'm also 8 + 4 ! I had horrible constipation last week and totally changed my diet. I took Miralax for two days and that got me going. I now eat Raisin Bran with almond milk every morning for breakfast and a lot more fruits, plus some chili with beans for lunch. Good luck!

bb2510 · June 2018

@greenhillgirl Sounds delicious! I will try!

greenhillgirl · June 2018

@bb2510 it's totally about adding fiber. I had literally never been constipated in my life before pregnancy.

bb2510 · June 2018

@greenhillgirl Thanks for the list! Needed this reminder. *sigh* Now if I could just work up the appetite. I used to be really good about it before pregnancy (like you, can't remember one time I was constipated before that), but now because my appetite is so off and random, I'm not getting what I need and so the constipation is so bad. :-(

sfgiantsgamerbabe · June 2018

I thought I was getting a better handle on my nausea because I hadn’t thrown up since Thursday. I threw up this morning. Womp womp. I’m starting to get more round ligament pain and my “mom pooch” is poochier now so hello maternity pants! Boobs are still tender but not as bad.Fatigue is getting better but that’s because I’ve been off work and able to sleep a little later.

katethemom · June 2018

Still dealing with nausea. I have this mucous that hangs out in the back of my throat all day. And when it drains down my throat, I end up gagging and dry heaving. Also, I still have the horrible sour taste in my mouth. The only time I get relief from it is when I'm sleeping or eating, which are the only two things I feel like doing at all. It's all I can do to manage some chores and some play time with DS during the day. Blech. I'm miserable.

tosh24 · June 2018

@katethemom I have the sour taste too. I've had it with all my pregnancies. For me, it is by far the worst symptom. I'll take all the other ones, but the sour taste just puts me over the edge and makes me want to crumple in a pile on the floor. You hit the nail on the head - it only goes away when eating or sleeping. Sometimes I just can't wait to go to bed at night to get some reprieve from it. It's awful. I hear it's a PH/gut bacteria thing so I did some internet searches to find ways to deal with it. Someone suggested making a baking soda mouth wash which I tried and it did work for an hour or two. Also tried going back on my probiotics but that hasn't made a difference. I chew gum but it's really hard to find a flavour that doesn't make me dry heave. I don't remember it going away until 12-14 weeks so I think I've still got a few weeks to go. I read that some women have it the whole 9 months and that better not be the case this time or I think I might die.

tosh24 · June 2018

10+2 today. After a 2 week reprieve, 1st tri diarrhea returned last night and I'm not feeling too hot this morning either. FML. ETA; I'm supposed to drive about 1.25 hours away for a meeting with a new coworker this morning and I'm trying to think of all the excuses I can use to get out of it.

AliKay20 · June 2018

*TW*

8 weeks tomorrow and I just started slightly spotting (really faint pink/light brown) last night after I peed and again this morning. I don’t have a lot of cramps but I think I’m going to take it really easy today. I know it’s fairly common to spot at this stage and it’s okay as long as it doesn’t worsen. Goodness, Friday REALLY cannot come soon enough. 48 hours. Need some reassurance at that appt.

lamega · June 2018

Im at 9+4. Things that have made me barf this week:

-the smell of the dishwasher
-the smell of the refridgerator
-the texture of the ham lunchmeat I gave my son for dinner
-the sight of curdled milk in a bottle
-the sight of someone on TV brushing his teeth with too much toothpaste

mamadaisy13141619 · June 2018

@AliKay20 I'm so sorry you are dealing with that! I think that's a great idea to just rest and take it easy. Hope you have peace of mind until Friday! Pregnancy can be so nerve racking!

mamadaisy13141619 · June 2018

This week's has been weird. Not so much nausea, but more like such severe gas and bloating that I feel sick. I have been so gross, walking around belching all the time, but it's the only thing that brings relief.

Also, so so tired. And something weird going on with my hips. Going to chiropractor today to see if he can figure what's going.

molosmiles · June 2018

@mamadaisy13141619 SAME. I have always belched a lot when nauseous but now everyone gets to see that side of me since it comes and goes all day.

Let us know how the chiropractor goes. My hips have been so messed up! They can usually pop every once in a while but haven't since I've been pregnant and it's getting painful and annoying.

ladystout08 · June 2018

I'm. So. Constipated.

katethemom · June 2018

@tosh24 I'll try that baking soda wash. I really hope we both get some relief from it in a few weeks. It is the worst.
