July Symptoms

stashattack · July 2019

Last weeks of the first trimester for most of us!! There's a light at the end of this tunnel LOL! So lets talk about how we are all feeling this month!

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · July 2019

Heartburn has made its grand appearance!

edit:spelling!

stashattack · July 2019

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k same here. I hate it. But I'll take it over feeling nauseous. Though I had both at the same time last night. That was no fun.

leprechaunlady · July 2019

+1 to heartburn! Its horrible!

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · July 2019

@leprechaunlady hahaha that is legit me in the evening

stashattack · July 2019

Is there any safe heartburn drug besides tums to take?? MH has famotidine around for her constant acid reflux but I'm too chicken to take it. LOL

kbrown2385 · July 2019

@stashattack I was given Zantac when I was pregnant with ds. The sheet my dr gave me says Zantac, Maalox, mylanta, tums and rolaids.

Xstatic3333 · July 2019

@stashattack heartburn hasn't come back for me yet but with my last pregnancy none of the medicines helped as much as a glass of plain milk. I'm told this is hit or miss though and doesn't do the trick for everyone.

smount2011 · July 2019

I am not nauseous or tired as much anymore- yay!!! But now round ligament pain has kicked into high gear and I can barely move. I also have a major itchy rash across the bottom of my abdomen. I'm going to the doctor next week but it looks like PUPPP. That sucks.

My heartburn hasn't been as bad as it was with my son, but I had started on Tums but by trimester 3 I was on a regular dose of zantac. I get it only once in awhile now but I have tums that helps me handle it.

biolprof · July 2019

@smount2011 I thought with PUPPP it didn't show until way later? Is this your first?

smount2011 · July 2019

@biolprof no this is my third. And I've never gotten a rash like this before but it itches so bad it stings. I can make myself bleed from scratching! I do have moderate psoriasis but this is not that.

biolprof · July 2019

@smount2011 I thought it only happens with the first as well but I only have info from someone who had it. I haven't looked it up myself. Whatever it is I hope you get relief soon!

MsIan · July 2019

@smount2011 Ugh that sucks. FX for and answer and relief. I don't have any heartburn yet. I only had it once with DS. I just still have some mild nausea. It seems there's relief ahead! But the existing is so real. It's Thursday here, so I'm going to try to go to the gym. Wish me luck guys.

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · July 2019

@smount2011 I hope the doctor can figure it out and you stop itching so much!

Speaking of weird skin issues... I have the weirdest symptom that I also had with DD. So essentially as my stomach gets bigger I get like bump acne / black heads / pimples !!! As I get bigger I know they will get way worse. But already now my tummy is covered hahha. Soooo I will not be taking cute exposed tummy bump pics this time around either

kbrown2385 · July 2019

My symptoms are getting less intense. I was finally able to eat a full plate of food for dinner. Usually it’s about 5-10 bites and I’m done. I still had my mid afternoon nap though. I’ll be disappointed if those stop lol.

leprechaunlady · July 2019

Not a pregnancy symptom but my hayfever is awful tonight, cant breathe through my nose at all & streaming, itchy eyes, but being pregnant means I cant take anything for it to help 👎🏻

allis0n_b_92 · July 2019

My headaches are starting to reappear 😭 could honestly be pregnancy or weather related though, it has been HOT here for the last week or so!

justsuzie · July 2019

c1kc1kpol1cn1k Same. I had GERD last pregnancy and I think it's coming back. My best heartburn cure was baking soda water. <---- @stashattack

@leprechaunlady My allergies are legit the worst they have ever been.

mrsbuddd · July 2019

@smount2011 I had PUPPS with my third! It was so brutal, and so unlucky apparently since it usually happens to first timers or women carrying multiples. I tried everything under the sun and the two things I found that helped the most were taking the max amount of vitamin D that I was allowed to take (I forget how much it was but it was a lot), and pine tar soap! You’ll smell like an old man but it does help. Fingers crossed it’s not PUPPS though and is easily treated instead.

mrsbuddd · July 2019

I should probably know this since this is number four for me, but does round ligament pain just feel exactly like period cramps for anyone else? I kept checking my underwear all day because I was certain I had to be bleeding but nope, just crazy menstrual feeling cramps all day. I’m coming up on twelve weeks and really starting to show more now so I guess it makes sense if things are stretching in there but damn...I do not remember this from the last three times!

blackcat01 · July 2019

@stashattack I have been taking famotidine for years for acid reflux from my hiatal hernia and my OB told me it was still safe to take during pregnancy. She even refilled it for me before asking. It’s been totally fine and has been helping with the extra reflux as well!

blackcat01 · July 2019

@mrsbuddd I haven’t found rlp to feel like period cramps, it’s more of random sharp pain that last for a few seconds for me. It tends to happen most if I stand up to fast or once when I squeezed to hard to pee lol

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve also been experiencing period likes cramps here and there randomly, I just assume it’s from all the stretching and growing!

EmilyE13 · July 2019

@stashattack My heartburn was so bad and constant last pregnancy that my OB told me to just take Nexium every day. I’m trying to avoid that this time around and am sticking with gum and tums with Zantac as a backup. I don’t think my heartburn is quite as bad with this kiddo as it was with DD, but I think it really kicked in 2nd trimester so I probably just jinxed myself.

hannahturm28 · July 2019

So one day I have a baby bump and it feels hard and round ☺️ then the next day nothing!! Has this happen to others?! I’m a FTM so this is new to me!!

cweiss04 · July 2019

Mostly exhausted still and little bouts of nausea new symptom is hiccups. I keep getting them randomly throughout the day

biolprof · July 2019

@cweiss04 I had so many bouts of hiccups yesterday. But luckily I think it was just the day as none today. Hoping it's not a pregnancy symptom that will continue!

stashattack · July 2019

Omg last night again with the double whammy of nausea and heartburn. It took forever to get back to sleep. Hubby helped me feel a ton better though. Which was super sweet.

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · July 2019

@stashattack I hear you, I was up a good portion of the night ughhhh

kbrown2385 · July 2019

Not really feeling much lately. Nausea has disappeared, my boobs still hurt and I have some stretching/cramping. For the most part I don’t feel pregnant and it’s making me anxious. I wish I had heartburn to make up for the lack of nausea 😬.

stashattack · July 2019

@kbrown2385 I'll gladly swap with you!! LOL

kbrown2385 · July 2019

@stashattack I realize how stupid it sounds but it’s make me feel better mentally 😆

stashattack · July 2019

@kbrown2385 I totally get that!!! haha. At this point I'm just so over them!

MrsJessS · July 2019

I’m feeling fortunate that the hardcore heartburn hasn’t kicked in yet.

My nausea is definitely decreasing but evenings are still rough.
I was so excited to be on the upswing...then last night I was violently sick. So that sucked and was humbling all at once lol.

I’ve also hit the point where I and absolutely starving for about three hours in the middle of the day

EmilyE13 · July 2019

@stashattack I was up last night for hours with heartburn, too. Woke up to pee, per usual these days, around 1 AM and then the heartburn hit with a vengeance. I didn’t help matters by having an Italian feast for dinner with lots of tomato-y things, but it was awful.

valerie4786 · July 2019

@stashattack I was prescribed Famotidine for both my first & this pregnancy!

@smount2011 ughh I really hope it's not PUPPP's for you. I had it last time and it was seriously unbearable at times.

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · July 2019

@kbrown2385 just reading the comments now, I know having symptoms makes us feel more assured but meanwhile you’ve got two babies in there !!! You’re holding up great you got this

kbrown2385 · July 2019

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k that was one of the thoughts that flooded my brain while I was laying on the table trying to comprehend the dr saying it’s twins😆. Meanwhile, I’ve welcomed heartburn into my life and will be going out first thing tomorrow to pick up some Zantac and tums lol.

Xstatic3333 · July 2019

@kbrown2385 I missed that it’s twins for you, congrats! Hope the Zantac helps!

My current main symptoms are the most ridiculous hunger rages ever and extreme frustration with my poor husband. Seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow and need to check in about whether it might be the start of some breakthrough anxiety. I’m on a (safe for pregnancy) SSRI and they told me it’s common to need to adjust dose as your blood volume increases.

amb0924 · July 2019

@kbrown2385 I'm in the same boat as you! Twins- although I've known for about 5 weeks- I guess my little guys weren't hiding like yours! but honestly, I've been feeling much better lately. Nausea is all but gone and I had to take a break from the boards last week because I was just getting so overwhelmed with panic. PGAL brain is not jiving well with me. I also feel like i should be showing way more than I am (11w4d) and so i'm just in an all around state of anxiety. Sometimes I wish for more symptoms (as crazy as that sounds) to help my mind relax. I've lost 8 pounds since I found out I was pregnant (although I haven't been eating much, I also haven't been throwing up too much). I'm a bigger girl to begin with so I'm hoping it's all the extra calories I'm burning from creating double life. I have an OB appt tomorrow but no ultrasound until MFM appt next week- I'm thinking of begging for one tomorrow to help put my mind at ease.

stashattack · July 2019

1) omg meat smells are just turn my stomach so bad the last couple of days making it impossible to eat the dinners I’ve made.

2) I feel like I’m at that stage of “is she preggo or fat” 🤣 like I know why my stomach is so rounding out more but most other people don’t. Lol. Idk if that’s a symptom per say but I’m rolling with it.

clee5711 · July 2019

@stashattack Yes. I made turkey tacos last night and it smelled/tasted just awful. And the fat or preggo stage sucks.
