The vivid pregnancy dreams are getting so annoying and interrupting my sleep. Last night I dreamed that one of DH's friends gave my DS a hair cut. It was the weirdest dream and so unrealistic. I woke up crying from crying in my dream. I then woke up DH to make him scoot over to my side of the bed and cuddle because I had a bad dream. I really dislike pregnancy dreams. But it's a mild symptom so I'm not complaining in real life about it. Just here.
@runyogamom I have the craziest pregnancy dreams. Worse in first tri for sure. But mine keep being about ex boyfriends and zombie apocalypses etc. Super vivid and totally nonsensical!
@ShadeofGreen816 the ex was in my dream the night before last. Along with his new wife. Who I've never met. Such a strange subconscious that pregnancy brings on!
Anyone else with “all food sounds awful” food aversions? WHEN I can figure out what to eat, it solves my nausea for awhile. But I’m having entire days where absolutely nothing sounds good to eat. Maybe I’m just not creative enough, but I’m really struggling over here. If I try to eat something that doesn’t sound good I gag on it and can’t even swallow. In the meantime I’m starving and the longer I’m hungry the more nauseous I get.

@tuxielove93 that's me all the time this morning I couldn't decide what to eat so I went with grapes and a cheesestick and that didn't work! the worst part that sometimes even if I eat whatever I'm craving I still feel awful afterwards. I'm 10 weeks and I really just don't see getting over it by the 2nd tri but I hope it at least gets better
@luckystar28 I'm so sorry! Can your OB prescribe you something? Mine gave me an RX today for nausea meds and I am not nearly as sick as you are. I hope you feel better soon!
*mad face* I got into a pregnancy discussion with one of my coworkers who knows I’m pregnant. She asked me what I’m eating and I said I’m eating out a lot. She goes “oh no. Don’t do that. That’s not good for you and it’s so expensive” No s**t Sherlock! I was so angry. And then another coworker tried to problem solve my situation. I wanted to say something sarcastic like “gosh I’ve never thought of that before”.
I’ve tried everything possible. I’m constantly just trying to find something that doesn’t make me vomit. And yes that’s a lot of carbs and salt right now. BACK OFF.
@antera23 I’ve been eating out a lot because of nausea too. I have such limited foods that sound good any given day, and I never feel up to cooking. Definitely don’t let them make you feel bad. Do what you have to do to get through it all.
+1 on the eat out train here! I can't cook and sometimes even if I smell it as it's being cooked ruins my appetite. Don't feel bad @antera23 we are all just trying to get through it, if somebody doesn't agree then feel free to cook dinner for me every night and feed me!
@antera23 I would eat out for every meal if I could right now. I've been making a lot of soup and grilled cheese type meals for the kids, because the thought of dealing with meat and steaming veggies right now is enough to make me run to the bathroom. You will be fine, your baby will be fine, and my kids are loving it right now. No one is making them eat broccoli Annoying people with unsolicited advice need to back off!
@antera23 - Same boat. Cooking is impossible right now because half the time, the smell of the food while it's cooking turns my stomach so I can't eat it by the time it's done. And the other half of the time, I don't have the energy to stand-up long enough to cook! Eating out/takeout/delivery - while, duh, expensive - is saving my sanity. SO it's worth it 100%! Do not let your rude, nosy coworkers get to you.
Anyone have good constipation remedies? I’d prefer something natural versus OTC but whatever you got

Me... apathy. I have so much to do but just cant bring myself to get up off the couch. +1 for the 'nothing sounds good to eat' and the 'if I eat anything right now, it's probably going to be junk'. I have a bag of mini Marshmallows on my counter. They're like little pink and white gremlins calling out 'eat me'.
I've been adding a teaspoon of benefiber to my coffee or tea in the morning. Can't remotely tell it's there but (TMI) my toilet sure knows.
Also, to add a symptom: had a really vivid, WEIRD dream where I had a baby girl except she was creepy AF and I woke up absolutely elated that I didn't have kids. And then I remembered I actually am pregnant. Cue the emotional rollercoaster. THANK YOU PREGNANCY DREAMS.
Even before the pregnancy I would have weird dreams where I had a baby but it never ate anything. It was like I'd completely forget it for the entire day and then remember and try to feed it but it wouldn't eat. Such a strange thing to dream repeatedly.
You guys are the best!! Thank you @kjr9519@vv826@bakerstreetboys@ellem29 for making me feel better! It helps to know others understand me. I’m sorry it took so long for me to respond to you all.
@bakerstreetboys and anyone else who is also managing to feed kids while pregnant are my heros. Seriously, you guys are rockstars!
@messymyranda I had a very similar reoccurring dream before and when I was pregnant with DD! Fortunately I’ve never forgotten to feed her in the almost 3 years I’ve had her, but the dream made me think I might!!
I 100% agree with @antera23 I give so many kudos to you ladies who are dealing with the horrible nausea and tiredness AND taking care of small human(s). I'm having a hard enough time taking care of me (and I have a lot of help these days)
I'm not sure how I'm doing it re:taking care of small humans. My son was up no less than 11 times last night crying. Teeth suck man. Plus he demanded boobs everytime. I am so sore and so tired and so raw right now, and because I am so tired I am extra nauseous today. Freaking woo.
Shoot. ETA: Thank you ladies for the consitpation remedies I am upping my fiber and hoping it helps. And I do have oatmeal, so as soon as I can get it together enough to make it I'm gonna try that too.
