Symptoms 10/28-11/4

Jumping right in: I’ve been drinking cokes to stay awake the past few days and I’ve been super gassy. It’s like my body can’t handle the co2. Going to try eliminating that today and see if it helps!

kangstadt · October 2018

My stomach really didn't like carbonation either for the first trimester - I've finally been able to drink seltzers again, which is good because I was probably dehydrated all first tri.

Major migraine last night, but other than the days I feel bloated or have sciatica, sometimes it's almost like I forget I'm pregnant. Second child syndrome, I guess? It's wigging me out because I don't feel connected yet to this babe. I just want to feel him kick already!

lilpotatomama · October 2018

I’m on Zantac and I feel like a new woman. It’s causing some issues with diarrhea since I just started taking it, but I’d take that over the reflux any day. I didn’t wake up gagging like I have for the last month and I’m pretty happy about it.

blueberrymomma · October 2018

My excess drainage/mucus triggers my gag reflux and I immediately start dry heaving. It comes on randomly and a couple of times has made me throw up. It’s really embarrassing when you start dry heaving in the middle of an aisle at the grocery store

kristenhk · October 2018

Starting to get my normal appetite back now which is a relief! Still just having really sharp upper right sided pain, mostly in the evening. I swear DH thinks I'm nuts when I out of nowhere yelp and grab my side lol.

tmblickley · October 2018

I'm 14 +3 so why is the burping getting worse, not better? I'm fine the the morning but from 6ish on I feel like I have rocks in the stomach, yuck.

ysotte · October 2018

Achy/Itchy belly, achy back, sciatic pain, hungry all the time, and just plain tired. I could really use a day to just lay in bed. I’ve been working like crazy this last week, so I’m not that surprised by the aches and exhaustion.

knottie16bb48b6fd48bc1a · October 2018

I can relate! My sinus have been draining and causing me to vomit and dry heave after I eat! It is truly awful! blueberrymomma said:

eli_belle · October 2018

I had to leave work early last week. I started to get really dizzy and lightheaded and the vision in my left eye started to get all weird. Had my husband pick me up (definitely didn't want to drive home). Spoke to a nurse at my OB's office and she told me to drink a glass of OJ and lie down. Seemed to help but totally weird. Nothing like this had happened in my previous pregnancies.

bankssl1 · October 2018

@eli_belle- my vision has been weird this pregnancy too.. So far I've had 3 circumstances of blurred vision. I didn't have that symptom in my previous pregnancy either.

lyse01 · October 2018

@eli_belle @bankssl1 I think my vision is just generally slightly worse, which is on the list of expected symptoms and happened last time too. Episodes of extremely blurred vision would be scary, though.

HGRich · October 2018

I’m down to only dry heaving a few mornings a week now Whoo hoo!
My face is still so broken out and I feel self conscious about it.
I’ve started getting feelings of lightheadedness if I sit too long, especially with my legs crossed. I need to stop crossing them. I say as I literally sit here with my legs crossed. Lol.
Also here’s a major TMI one. I didn’t get hemorrhoids with DD until literally week 38, and here I’m starting to already at 14wks. Nooooo!

midwestmommy90 · October 2018

I couldn’t drink soda first tri either, but now I’m drinking them too much. Haha. Ugh, why am I still nauseous at 15 weeks?! I thought it was suppose to get better. I was spoiled with DD because I didn’t get nauseous at all. Ugh.

berky84 · October 2018

Holy sore boobs! I don't remember it being this bad with my first. But holy crap they are SO SO sore.

mrstmoose · October 2018

Migraines if I eat pickles (seriously, WTF??). Still daily headaches. And all the discharge. It's gross.

ashley_mb · October 2018

Speaking of boobs, I hope this post isn't too much- but I was expecting my nipple sensitivity to go away once I hit the 2nd Tri... I'm finding that is not the case. Anyone else with this?! And to top it off (literally), I've developed what I believe might be colostrum at the end of my nipples? I have an appointment Thursday so I plan to have my doctor look it over, but it's a bit freaky to look at! I'm 15.5 weeks btw.

professormama · October 2018

@ashley_mb the sensitivity is real bad - actually worse now for me. Even my bra is painful.

angelob88 · October 2018

@ashley_mb the sensitivity for me is bad as well. Much much worse than first trimester. I believe you about the colostrum leakage. Mine never fully went away after DD. I know with her I started leaking breastmilk/colostrum at week 20 or so which I thought was super early but apparently can be normal for a lucky few so it's definitely possible.

snowhite12 · October 2018

insomnia, takes me forever to get to sleep, then I wake up around 2am, stay up for another hour or so, wake up at 5am for work, feeling exhausted! Also, not only do I have facial acne, but "backacne" as well...

lyse01 · October 2018

@snowhite12 all my acne has gone from whiteheads to cyst-like, pus and liquid filled monsters. Ugh.

snowhite12 · October 2018

@lyse01 ugh! I feel you, mine are large red bumps that come in groups/clusters of 5 or more

lyse01 · October 2018

@snowhite12 I think I need to find the makeup I hid from my toddler.

LifeofLauren2 · October 2018

My appetite is back! Yay! But, no food sounds good. Ugh.

ciaobellat · October 2018

I am having excruciating lower back pain. I've been to the ER and the doctor and they cant seem to offer me any suggestions. I've done physical therapy and massage and it just seems to be getting worse. It honestly feels like a contraction but the doctors say everything looks 'perfect' with the baby. Anyone else experiencing this?

booksandlace · October 2018

Stuffy nose ugh. Still freaking tired all day every day. The RLP upped this week too

thatbaintforbetty · October 2018

Still feeling awful most of the time. Food is slowly getting better. Still gagging/dry heaving every time I brush my teeth. RLP and my tendinitis is flaring up.

Having issues sleeping, can’t breath on my left side no matter how upright I am so I keep rolling over into my right. I think I might try some breath right strips.

wildcosmiclove · October 2018

My boobs are growing. Again. So much boobage. I went from a B cup to an F cup with DD, and settled back down to a C. Now I'm up to DD already, so I'm guessing it's going to be the same. The stretch marks are real, ugh. And the itchiness.

Other than that, I'm SUPER EMOTIONAL AND FEEL ALL THE THINGS. And I'm hungry. So so hungry.

kangstadt · October 2018

@ciaobellat, have they given you any suggestions for what it could be or done any xrays/scans of that spot?

I've had really bad sciatica pain at times, directly to the left of my tailbone/lower back area. It was bad enough at one point I had to crawl up the stairs. Stretching makes it worse and it seems to come and go. I'm not sure if that's the same as you're experiencing, but I hope you find answers soon!

rache1990 · October 2018

Agree with @lyse01and @snowhite12 I’ve never had acne until this pregnancy. Washing my face 2x/day has helped a little. Tired in the afternoons laughed so hard I sobbed hysterically last night that was fun! boobs super itchy

ciaobellat · October 2018

@kangstadt no cray, she just recommended I do physical therapy, which I was already doing. I have sciatic nerve pain on my left side as well (prior to pregnancy) and this feels similar but worse and is directly in the center of my back. If it continues I will go to my internal medicine doc and see what he suggest, bc my OB and the ER docs just brush it off.

kangstadt · October 2018

@ciaobellat, that stinks, I hope you get answers soon!

ciaobellat · October 2018

@kangstadt thank you!

rennie1108 · November 2018

@lyse01 I'm super gassy too! But I can't help to have a coke every other day or so. It's my replacement for alcohol

@midwestmommy90 in JUST starting to feel less nauseous and I'm almost 17 weeks. It totally blows! But I haven't thrown up in a week and I only gagged today. Small victories!

It's so weird - my appetite has lessened compared to the first trimester and nothing sounds all that good, although I am less nauseous. I def have more energy which is nice. Super burpy all the time. Boobs are less sore and but tummy is itchy!

lyse01 · November 2018

@rennie1108 I’m in need of booze this week, so I wish I had replacement that worked!

today was just emotions, emotions everywhere.

blueberrymomma · November 2018

@ciaobellat could it be kidney stones? I’ve only had them when pregnant and they are super painful,

The last few days I’ve had to pee soo much it’s ridiculous. I’m not drinking any more water than normal but I feel like this little one it sitting right on top of my bladder like I’m 7 months pregnant not 17weeks

mermaidca · November 2018

@rennie1108 my belly is starting to itch too!!

I've been getting more heart palpitations. I've read it's pretty common at this point but it takes my breath away every time.

MRDCle · November 2018

Got a call that I'm anemic. Maybe that's why I never got second tri energy? OB sent me for repeat labs to narrow down what's causing the anemia, and they said they might have me come in again before my next appointment. On TUESDAY. I'm really hoping they don't call me in for another appointment this week.

jamiemarp · November 2018

Woke up at 2:30am last night and was up for about 2 hours feeling queasy and puking 🤢 It doesnt feel like I have a bug, but I also didn’t have any morning sickness in the first trimester...so I’m not sure why this would start at 16 weeks! In all fairness the second trimester has definitely been worse than the first for me. I’ve been feeling extra exhausted and have had a headache most days too. Oof!

mrstmoose · November 2018

@MRDCle keep us updated.

@jamiemarp - are you still sick or has it subsided? M/S hitting at 16 weeks is rare but I'm sure it could happen.

avidlyuks36 · November 2018

Hi All!
My appetite still hasn't come back -- Are any of you experience lack of appetite and all food taste bland? Just wondering -- my mom says not to complain because I'm overweight but it's weird not to enjoy food and to not have a taste for anything

Well that's freaking rude of her. I still only have small windows of having an appetite so I feel you.
