I dry heaved in the parking lot at the grocery store yesterday and some old dude was gawking at me across the street. I wanted to shout "Fuck off, I'm pregnant" but he was like, 80+ years old and I can't talk to older folks like that without feeling terrible. I think he was concerned so I just smiled, parked my cart, got in the car, and drove away.
I have decided the only way to keep my nausea at bay is to be constantly eating so I am sitting here munching on salt and vinegar chips all day. My only options are get fat or become a zombie.
All. The. Smells. I don’t even know what I’m catching whiffs of around here at work, but good lord, it needs to stop. 🤢 Also my new lunch time is 11:30 because apparently even with breakfast, I can’t make it til 12. 🤷🏼♀️
I decided to put on my sea bands in the middle of the night. I'm kicking myself for not pulling them out earlier because my nausea is about 50% better today than it has been. Good thing it's getting colder so I can hide them with long sleeves.
So tired. The mind of tired that brings me to tears. Along with everything else. Ok. But I do have a question. I’m SO BLOATED! Is this normal? I feel like I’m already showing. It’s making me question whether or not we conceived in my September cycle or my August one. My period during my August cycle was 4 days late and lighter than usual, but still like 3-4 days long. I spotted from the day before I got my BFP to about three days after. With my last cycle, I took a test and it was negative and then a few days later got my period. This is my first. Is it normal to bloat so much at 6 weeks?!
Morning sickness...all day...officially started yesterday for me. I had HG with DD6 & I am now dreading that occurance again. We thought I was 8 weeks along due to my last period, so I was pumped, thinking I might be escaping the throw up phase. Nope! U/s showed 6 weeks along & day later I was so sick. I'm not even functioning & had guilt tears twice today on not being able to help my DD much at all. You almost want to tell them so they understand, but I can't bring myself to until our 12 week scan/all clear. I know zofran is no longer allowed, but has anyone recently been prescribed something else? Nothing natural is working for me - I haven't held anything down in almost 2 days.
Ok, question about RLP. I don’t think I’ve ever had it and wondering if it’s what’s going on with me. Last night I started getting these twinges or flashes of pain on and around my vagina bone, maybe a little above (sorry, anatomy is not one of my strengths lol). I’ve felt lightening crotch and that is not what this is from what I recall. Anyone with experience with RLP that thinks this sounds similar?
@Becks105 I would say its normal, as I'm experiencing the same at 6 weeks! Usually it settles down...right before the "real" showing begins. Fun times! Congrats & best of luck.
@becks105 The best way to tell is if you can kind of suck in and/or if in the morning if there is still bump. When you have a real bump, it will be firm and not go away. But yes, bloating that early is normal!
@becks105 I hope so because I am so bloated too. I stopped at target today and bought belly bands. I tried them on when I got home and it is a total game changer. My clothes feel uncomfortable solely from the bloat and I am not ready for maternity pants!
Anyone else have a constant gross taste in their mouth? I feel like no matter how much I brush my teeth or use mouth wash, I can’t get rid of this nasty taste.
@lappymom2019 yep! I bought 3 belly bands at Target yesterday, too! My pants don’t fit anymore. Mine is mildly from bloating, especially at the end of the day, but today I woke up with a bump. No booting, just a bump. 😍 Made me so excited! But I can at least wear my pants unbuttoned and not be afraid of what I may show off! 😂😂
My hubby sprayed deoderant in the dining room i struggled with the smell over 2 hours it was so strong that when i walked past i had my first water spew on the tiles that i had to clean up. I said to him he has to spray deoderant outside from now on. And i made the mistake of having 2 min noodles for dinner as i was too tired to cook i vomited so hard and had the runs the next day i gagged so much all i could smell was 2 min noodles i am never eating them ever again. Other than that i feel much better just so tired. I could sleep all day if i had the chance.
Well, I managed to vomit all over the car driving home today, so that was fun. I hope this passes soon, because I'm having to use up my sick days now Has anyone had symptoms get worse at 10 weeks? I thought I was nearing the part where things got better 😭
Had husband bring me home between errands yesterday to throw up.
Threw up so much I peed myself a little*.
Toilet clogged so I had to go get a plunger and got vomit all over the plunger.
Washed the plunger, got clean underthings, went back out to finish errands.
Glared at Husband the entire time.
Oh, Pregnancy.
*More than a little.
SITB Im so sorry you had such a crappy time but I totally LOL'D at the bold part.
This is great! We have ladies dry heaving in the parking lot, throwing up in the car, spewing water on the floor. Lol. If we weren't all pregnant, we'd be a strange bunch of friends who throw up together.
@Sketner610 yes, that gross taste in your mouth is normal, unfortunately. As is an insane amount of saliva.
Im nauseous all day, now. Even when after I eat im still feeling gross. I emailed my doc to see if she'll give me that anti nausea medication. I wasnt given it last time by me old OB, probably because I wasn't actually throwing up all that much. I hope this new doctor does give it to me because I've tried Emetrol and that shit ain't workin.
@kvh22 My face has been breaking out like crazy since I got my BFP! I did not have this with my other pregnancies. I look like a pimply teenager. I hate it.

@expandcontract I’ve been brushing mine, but it def causes me to gag/toss my cookies. Kind of helpful though as when I throw up in the AM I feel so much better until late afternoon. 😂 seems reasonable. I’ve changed the head on my toothbrush too many times to count!
Anyone so so so so so so tired but never able to fall asleep at a decent hour? Like I can’t go to sleep before midnight but I’m dragging for hours beforehand. I can’t even pretend to fall asleep early though 😢
Right there with you @MaggieG183 my insomnia has been getting better (no longer up until 2 or 3am) but its still midnight at the earliest. I almost caught a nap this afternoon, but then the school bus showed up and reality kicked in.
@Sketner610 I want to say @poshspice has this going on. I could be wrong, but it's a weird symptom of pregnancy that not a lot of people experience. Like literally your mouth tastes bad and it doesn't go away. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. It sounds like a bummer.
