FTM here... today I’ve been having really bad cramping/aching in my abdomen/uterus area along with back pain- first time this has happened. I’m 14w 2d- anyone else experience something similar?
@kayjay44@grebretso thanks for the feedback and reassurance. Trying to drink lots of water today hoping that may help too. It’s like a combination of nonstop cramping/stretching/achy feelings and I just hadn’t felt yet
I got food poisoning for the first time ever this weekend. I am still recovering but I think I might be feeling better in terms of pregnancy symptoms. I've already cleaned the kitchen twice the week! Dinner is still a mess, though, I can barely eat. Thanks to the food poisoning I am officially down 3 pounds.
@cass06_07@izzfrancisco my feet are swelling too. I think the heat has something to do with it here, but I didn't get this swollen this early with my first and I was exactly the same number of weeks this time two years ago.
Does anyone else have bad skin dryness? The sides of my boobs, my abdomen, and my lower back are all super flaky. I feel like a snake shedding its skin, and Eucerin is my new best friend.
If you can find it, Dove Wintercare is the best thing for dry pregnancy skin - I swear.
Agreed 100%. I also love the Dove body wash that has the exfoliators in it. Probably kills the entire ocean, but it is so wonderful on itchy pregnancy belly.
Yes my skin is crazy dry right now. It’ll get so itchy if I don’t stay on top of moisturizing often. This didn’t happen last time. Also why the hell are my nips so much darker this time?? I’m white as can be and they are like huge dark chocolate hersey kisses.
I had some bleeding after DH and I had sex last night, and not just a little bit. So of course I freaked out. I know it is not uncommon to bleed a little occasionally, it happened with my first, but it is so stressful. So of course I Google it. Everything on the internet says it is most likely perfectly fine, but always call your doctor when you have bleeding. So I called first thing this morning. My doctor is out of town, so I talked to a nurse who was very unconcerned but said that she would talk to the on-call doctor and get back to me. It took her a couple hours to call back, because the doctor was in surgery. His advice was to monitor the bleeding and call back if it got worse or if I had any severe cramping. I haven't had any more bleeding, but every pull, stretch and cramp stresses me out. I know that things are probably fine, I'm just so frustrated that it was all so quickly dismissed by the doctor. If all the advice tells me to call for bleeding I kind of expect them to take it a little bit more seriously when I do.
I've been noticing it's already getting harder to pick things up off the floor and to get up from a lying down position. Like wtf. Baby is a lemon and I barely have a blump.
Ugh I keep getting these low blood sugar/low blood pressure dizzy spells where all the sudden it feels like getting hit by a school bus. I had them last pregnancy as well and they suck
@wifemomme I've been frustrated for the same reason. It's pretty ridiculous: "Call if you're concerned about anything!" And then they treat us like we're overreacting and crazy for actually taking them up on that offer.

Ditto to this. You did the right thing, hope the bleeding goes away soon!
So maybe my appetite is coming back and food aversions leaving... dh is at me to eat and get enough protein... working on it but now my body decides its a good time for liquid shit??? Wth, cant win!!
@wifemomme I had a nurse say to me in the most condensing voice, “Is this your first pregnancy” when I called with a concern. It’s not my first pregnancy.
Over the past few days, my tailbone pain has gone away. At the same time, I'm definitely able to feel my uterus when I touch my lower abdomen. Looks like my uterus is moving away from whatever it was pressing on, yay!

Mine's just below my belly button. Short torso problems. I made DH feel it last night just to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Nope - really is that high.
My sense of smell is out of control. The woman who sat down across from me smells horrendously like BO. I feel like barfing, but the train is too full to move.
@kayjay44 Yeah, being a FTM and slightly taller than average, it took me a while before I could even feel it at all. Also yes to the sense of smell! God, I hate the bus these days. Usually people's perfumes and colognes make me nauseous, but today a man sat behind me who smelled intensely of piss. He was wearing a really expensive biking outfit, and I'm like... are you a professional biker in Tour de France? Because I know those guys pee themselves while riding. Nobody else even flinched, I almost thought I imagined it. But nope. He reeked.

I’m pretty fluffy but I can feel my uterus just a bit out of the pelvis now. Especially on my back. Getting real close to the time of feeling little miss moving around.
