I'm probably going to jinx it, but I have felt really great today. Even if it only lasts a day, it was a great reprieve. I feel like I have gut rot most days. I still haven't actually puked but I've been SO close the last few days and have been gagging. Headaches, bloating, insomnia, peeing all the time. Ugh. Tons of burps here too @cass06_07
Yeah still waiting for that energetic and “back to normal” feeling everyone raves about when entering the 2nd trimester (14w today)... sleeping regularly would be nice too!
I still gag most evenings, but the morning sickness seems to have gone. Maybe that’s because I eat a cracker before I even get out of bed now. But I don’t feel exhausted like I did (I’ll be 15 weeks Friday) a few weeks ago.
I will say though (sorry in advance for being a downer) I only had like 3 days of that second trimester good stuff with DS. I puked the whole time, took a 3 hour nap every day and was still exhausted, and felt hungover 24/7. It was a dumpster fire. So maybe I just feel good compared to how I felt with him.
I guess that the second tri is better? I am still in need of obscene amounts of sleep! 8:30 bedtime and afternoon naps cause me to be fairly useless after work though.
Not wanting to jinx it but I am feeling much better. I’ll be 16 weeks on Sunday...I still get tired but not as much and it seems headaches are subsiding. I go on vacation this weekend and I can’t wait to just sit on the beach and eat to my hearts content
My boobs hurt worse than they did first tri, wtf is that? Also, my lower back/tailbone hurt like a bitch and feel like they need a good crack but are locked in place. It's really painful.
Hey I’m on my mobile so I think most of my post got cut off- but sorry if it’s a repeat. Basically I’ll be 16W on Fri and I’m feeling better besides some
@casperthefriendlybeeb TB app is ridiculously buggy sometimes! It’s impossible to get it right!
I puked again this morning, first time in a week. It was so weird, the nausea came out of nowhere and I just had to puke immediately. Thankfully I was outside! If I had been on the bus or at my desk it would not have been pretty. I puked in someone’s bush. Whoops.

@kayjay44 Thanks for that- was totally it. That’s what I get for trying to lighten the mood on my constipation with a poop emoji.
Also now that I’m feeling much better (besides being 95% poop and 5% baby), I’m feeling a lot of anxiety. Like I almost don’t feel pregnant and that is making me worry for my lil guy. I know I’m being irrational but can’t help it. Any STMs or gals feeling better, and replacing nausea with anxiety?
@kayjay44 I need a Doppler for that exact reason. Which kind do you have? I’m sure this has been discussed elsewhere but finding anything on mobile is impossible!
@cassafrass15 I rented a Doppler during my first pregnancy it was great! I rented from babybeat.com came with a nice package and a cd to know what to look for. They also give you return packaging.
@cassafrass15 - Sonoline B. Should run you about $50. I've used it through 3 pregnancies, so I've gotten my money worth. You can just buy aloe gel to use instead of ultrasound gel.
@kayjay44 I sooo want to use a Doppler but I may not hear anything for a while since I have an anterior placenta. I may buy one right before my next sonogram so that if I don’t hear a heart beat I won’t have weeks in btw appts to worry more.
My feet are slightly swollen today. Seems too early for that shit!! Also, my cat will NOT leave me alone! He's still young and new to the family, so we're working on "bonding." But he's dumb and forgets to put his claws away before walking on me sometimes! He's definitely sensing some changes in me. My lab has always been ultra protective since my first pregnancy, but he currently refuses to sleep anywhere but at my feet! How is everyone elses fur babies?
Also, can confirm that liquid poop is as bad as days of no poop, just in different ways.
THANK YOU. I felt so guilty whining about peeing out my asshole when y’all were so constipated. But that acid burn does not feel good.
My dog is TOO MUCH. I wake up in the middle of the night and he’s staring at me, nose to nose. He follows me around everywhere. Practically climbs in my work bag when I leave in the morning.
Ugh I wish I didn’t buy a Doppler, spent too long looking for the heartbeat yesterday and couldn’t find it (I’m almost 16 weeks). Ironically the baby is moving like crazy which is reassuring I just wish I didn’t even try with the Doppler
ETA- I’ve found it about five times before, not sure why I couldn’t yesterday
@lifeislove87 babies like to hide from it sometimes. When I found the HB the other day I got a snippet at first and then it disappeared. I had to move the Doppler around again to find it. It also sounded like she kicked it haha. They are sneaky little ones. I’m glad you are feeling a lot of movement! That’s the best.
I’m eating all the food the last two days I couldn’t stomach anything for weeks and now it’s like my hunger has sky rocketed (I think i spelled this wrong )
@casperthefriendlybeeb yes! The whole time I’ve been worried because I haven’t felt pregnant and no issues/symptoms whatsoever. Besides being tired here and ther... As i am lucky, the anxiety is in full force! I have the same Doppler as @kayjay44 and it’s been a life saver! I’ve only had it a week and loving it. 10/10 would recommend!
I'm really struggling this week. 12 weeks today. Looking forward to my scan tomorrow but struggling hard to feel anything positive from this pregnancy. I feel so sick every single day. The feeling I have is a hungover feeling. Vomiting morning, day and night. All smells are making me feel sick and dry reach. And of course everyone in my house are eating the smelliest of food. I feel terrible for complaining because this is such a happy thing happening to me and I know there are 100 other women who would love to be in my position, but I'm really struggling. Pregnancy so far is terrible. Crap hair, crap skin and feeling sick all the time is not my idea of a good time.
@lzzfrancisco, my feet have been swelling a little for the past couple of weeks, mainly notice it after I get home, I guess from sitting at my desk all day

I’ve also been tired for about 5 years so I’m not even sure I know what “not tired” is anymore...
