Started this for selfish reasons... I’m 10 weeks tomorrow and I just started having sore/heavy feeling breasts. So strange. I swear everything could not be more different than my pregnancy with my son, which is slightly irritating as I was looking forward to knowing what was coming and going ha 😅
With DS I felt great up until about 8-9 weeks where I had slight nausea and tiredness for 3-4 weeks. And sore boobs from the start, like the intense can’t let anything or anyone touch them sore. This time I’ve felt nauseous, have thrown up, and so incredibly tired since week 5, no sore breasts til now. Crazy stuff man. Ok I’m done ranting
I'm so hungry for carbs and comfort foods lately! On Sunday we visited some family for lunch and learned that they were all doing the keto diet. So we were having just grilled chicken breasts and zucchini for lunch! I about died. I hate zucchini, and while chicken is fine, grilled breasts all by themselves are pretty dry and unsatisfying. I made DH take me to Dairy Queen on the way home. Mama needs carbs.
And honestly, the last thing I want to hear about right now is someone else's weight loss journey.
For those of you still riding the nausea train, I’ve found that even though I only want carbs, I actually feel a lot better in the long run if I eat some protein - anything I think I can stomach (cheese, a spoonful of peanut butter...). DH made burgers last night and after days of eating just pasta or cereal for dinner I decided to have a taste of the burger. It tasted good so I ate the whole thing. I still wound up with nausea before bed but my dinner stayed down, which is unusual. Anyway, something to try!
@melanier26 Well we were, and I'm trying to somewhat stick to it, I've added some carbs back in to be a but more balanced. It is hard some days, especially when someone offers me birthday cake....lol

I have found this too! Protein seems to really settle my stomach, but I have to force myself to ignore my carb cravings. It really does work.
I went through the chic fil-a drive thru looking forward to nuggets and fries only to get them into my car and be repulsed by the smell. 😂😂 That happened with a bagel and cream cheese too. I've been living on the baby applesauce pouches, granola bars, fruit, and nuts when I can stomach them.
I felt great all of week 10, and now midway through week 11, I'm touch and go. I'm really hoping I'm one gonna get that energy boost and see nausea subside in the 2nd trimester. For now, this is me
@greenbean-2 Logically I know protein helps but meat is so disgusting to me right now! I've been trying with the PB and the cheese ... but mostly I just give in and eat pasta/ bread/ rice/ fruit. Feeling just SO gross. I'm 10+5 and still throwing up despite anti-nausea medication.
No nausea thank goodness. I was getting mild discomfort in my lower side. It's gone now but I was paranoid for all afternoon lol. I also felt flutters, so I'm thinking it's just gas heh
13+2 weeks and my problem isn’t so much putting food, it’s getting it out. I swear I’m never gonna poop again. This is miserable.
Also @Schumerator feeling your pain, but in reverse! My boobs are sooooo sore this time around. I never dealt with that when I was pregnant with Z. I swear it hurts just to have someone look at them😭 last night I turned over from my back to my side and woke up from the pain of them moving (I’ve been wearing sports bras to sleep but last night was one of my occasional nights off)
Headaches and Huge Boobs that won’t stop growing. Like freakin watermelons!! and just as heavy. Doesn’t my body know theyre already big enough to get the job done??? 😂.

I counted my bras from last time. I went up 6 cup sizes 🤷🏼♀️ I feel you, lady
@theglitteredpterodactyl that image is right on! I just bought prunes the other day because 100mg colace a day just isn't cutting it and I don't want to up the dosage. Trying to find other pooping aids the best I can, lol.

Go to the international food aisle and get aloe pulp juice
@cooaladolly I haven’t had prune juice since my post partum days lol but I’m definitely desperate enough for it now! Edit: gif fail, but imagine Worf raising a glass of prune juice saying “a warrior’s drink!”
I have a cold too but I realized it’s decreased my sense of smell which has helped my nausea! The gross taste in my mouth is gone too! So I’m team cold over here 😊
I'm finally a little less exhausted all the time. Don't get me wrong, still tired, but not falling asleep all day every day tired. It's been replaced with pure hunger!! I'm so hungry all the time. I had a Chipotle burrito last night, then turned to DH and said, why am I still hungry?! I didn't eat anything else though because I probably would've been miserable.
The nausea is coming in waves now but I had a pretty good week overall. I’ve been making a smoothie before bed every night with Vega One protein and my mornings have gotten so much better!
@alinic916 I could eat all day too! And I do or I feel gross, almost nauseous if I don't. I had pizza and chips and guac at 4/5 and my husband bought me a burrito too and he thought I wouldnt eat it but I did around 7 and he couldn't even finish his burrito!
Threw out my back this last weekend, starting feeling better with use of a heating pad, and then it happened again yesterday. All muscle pain/spasms. Anyone else having those kind of issues? I can't tell if it's because of the pregnancy or if it's just randomly coincidental.

Just hit 12 weeks and still throwing up almost every morning. Usually before eating. Anyone else? It is because I have this cough that won't go away and I cough until I have to throw up. In general, nausea is getting better, but I can't wait for this to stop.

Just over 11 weeks and still throwing up almost every evening (with medication). I’m expecting at least a few more weeks of this, unfortunately.
Oh no @jhokaj524 that sucks! It's really tricky trying to run around after little ones like that. Mine was just trying to drag me around outside and I can't even stand up straight. Hopefully we only have to waddle around for a little while, well at least until we start waddling in third tri, lol.

Anyone dealing with hemorrhoids already? I have never had them before (not even with my first) so I had no clue what they felt like, but my butt crack/hole has been so itchy for the past month or so. And it just dawned on me yesterday it may be hemorrhoids 🙃 bought some target brand prep h and omg what sweet relief! Lol
Thanks ladies! I got the target tucks pads that I think have witch hazel and they do help a ton!!
@cmbt2 how long did they take to go away PP? Did they get worse after labor/pushing? I had a friend who got some crazy bad ones from pushing her son for so long and now I'm terrified for labor and PP 😭
@nnaelilak I'm so sorry about the hemorrhoids! And the chronic back pain. Women just don't get a break! I did get a reminder tho that this did happen to me with DS around the same time. Sleeping on the left side with a pillow between my legs eases the pain a bit. Ooof but changing from certain positions still has me yelling out here and there. Poor DS got dropped the last few inches into his crib tonight too as I couldn't bend enough to put him all the way down. Lol, he didn't seem to mind a bit.
