August Symptoms

Can this summer please stop flying by?!

Anyway, how are you feeling?

therealbitts · August 2019

I can’t believe it’s August either! Almost back to school time! I’m not sure if this is a symptom, but I’m having some back/butt pain at work and on my commute. Having to sit for long periods of time is killing me - I even bought a new office chair! I feel like I need to order one of those donut things to sit on all day.

@therealbitts I had a lot of sciatic pain with my first. I found that propping my feet up under my desk helped some.

daffodil_shoe · August 2019

@therealbitts sounds like possible sciatica to me as well. I had it with DS starting at 10 weeks. This time it started around 8 weeks. It mostly only hurts when I’ve been on my feet all day...so basically just when I’m at work!

therealbitts · August 2019

@ibabyloveb87 and @daffodil_shoe ugh it sucks! Maybe I will try propping my feet up on something under my desk. The only position that feels ok is just lying down, which is obviously not an option at work if I want to keep my job 😆

Woke up in the middle of the night with some minor lower back/lower abdominal cramping. I wasnt too worried, figured my insides are still just stretching out, plus it was better when I woke up for real. Just had to find a better sleeping position I guess!

kjeepers87 · August 2019

Not sure if it counts as a symptom, perhaps a lack of one, but my skin has been awesome! I usually really struggle with acne. I didnt have it as a teenager but was blessed with it when I moved to Utah and its dry climate. It is usually cystic and hormonal. I'm sure it won't last but I am thanking my lucky stars. Don't worry though, I have literally every other possible pregnancy symptom. 😂

rikiteacup · August 2019

I noticed my skin getting much better. It was a mess for a few weeks but now it looks super clear. I'll take that. Still getting up once a night to pee. I noticed I get some lower abdominal cramps when I do an arm workout. I use one 20# dumbbell that I lower behind my head.

brookert615 · August 2019

My skin is usually great and I'm breaking out like crazy! GAH!

kbrinks2 · August 2019

How is it already August! Back to work at the end of the month and I’ve been enjoying being Lazy! I’m still nauseous all the time! So tired and I’m getting winded just walking up stairs. I’m hoping for some extra energy in the next couple weeks as we head into the second trimester!

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

@brookert615 same. My back and shoulders too. AND i always feel super greasy and gross. WHYYYYYY

brookert615 · August 2019

@ibabyloveb87 It's so weird and frustrating! I was promised better skin and hair! LOL

bg122785 · August 2019

I am back to not feeling pregnant again! I will take not having the nauseous and exhaustion, but now I am just anxious again for my next appointment. And obsessively checking to see if I can feel my uterus yet! lol

babylawyer · August 2019

Still periodically nauseous but I think it might be a little better? I haven't thrown up in almost 2 weeks I think! But I have been very queasy on and off. Energy level seems better and I'm hungrier. Very vivid dreams. Peeing like 5 times a night. Sinus infection finally leaving me after 9 weeks of having it...though still have some facial/dental pressure and I'm still a bit congested.

daffodil_shoe · August 2019

Took a little nap before staying up for the night to switch to night shift. All I did was move to grab the remote, and it threw me into a gagging frenzy. I puked so hard that my ribs hurt.

craftywitch · August 2019

Oh no @daffodil_shoe I hope it was a one-time issue adjusting to the new schedule!

Anyone else with pregnancy insomnia? It’s about every other night so I’m sleeping well sometimes, but this is the second night this week I’m going to have about 5 hours total...

therealbitts · August 2019

@daffodil_shoe oh man, that sounds terrible. I’m so sorry!

daffodil_shoe · August 2019

@craftywitch I have no problem falling asleep, but if I don’t take Unisom, when I wake in the MOTN to pee, it takes me hours to fall back to sleep.

jvk2012 · August 2019

@craftywitch, yes some nights I can’t fall asleep or can’t go back to sleep easily after waking up to pee.

sunshinegarden · August 2019

@daffodil_shoe, sorry about the throwing up that's got to be hard. Looks like I will be joining the night crew too. Been up 3 nights this week. Unisom sounds good right now..

brookert615 · August 2019

@daffodil_shoe That's awful! Hopefully it was just a fluke!

@craftywitch So sorry! I hope you're able to get some consistent rest!

doodleoodle · August 2019

@craftywitch I’m up until midnight every night despite my youngest consistently waking me between 6-630 AM. I feel your pain

pigsforpoland · August 2019

I cried this morning because they wouldn’t give me French toast at the Friendly’s drive-thru. Apparently it’s “not a drive-thru menu item.”

Apparently my August symptoms include hyper-emotionality and random food cravings.

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

@craftywitch I have a hard time going back to sleep when I wake up.

craftywitch · August 2019

Same same- no issues falling asleep, but staying asleep is a whole other beast!

Also @pigsforpoland that is hilarious and sounds exactly right. I can't see why they can't just serve you whatever is on the menu in the drive-thru. Totally unreasonable!

robynlynn2000 · August 2019

Haha I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, at least once a night. And i onky sleep between 9pm-3am. The other day when i called off i woke at 7am because I was starting to pee in bed. Whoops

sbalkw91 · August 2019

I’ve started to experience the mood swings and crazy emotions (embarrassing emotional break down this week because I was hungry 😂). I’ve also started to feel joint pain in my knees and hips, which is frustrating because I just got back into a good exercise routine! Oh well, I’m officially in the 2nd trimester now so it has to get better, right?!

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

I’m still so grumpy.

craftywitch · August 2019

Me: Okay THAT was definitely baby flutters!
Also me: *horrifyingly loud fart*

brookert615 · August 2019

@craftywitch 😂😂😂

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

@craftywitch hahaha

Buttttttt i SWEAR I felt baby flutters today. I didn’t have to fart. I am telling myself it was way too early but who knows. I felt my first at 16 weeks and they say you feel earlier every time after?!? Or I’m just crazy

brookert615 · August 2019

@ibabyloveb87 I’ve been putting my hand on my stomach every night and I felt a swipe on my hand like a fish but now I keep checking to feel it again! Lol! DH was like no it’s too early and I’m like “nah, going with it” 😂

doodleoodle · August 2019

@robynlynn2000 DD2’s birth was my first vaginal delivery and for a couple of months after her birth I would, maybe a few times a month, wake up because I was starting to pee. Good times.

glynch0303 · August 2019

Anyone else's baby measuring big? I was 12 weeks and 2 days yesterday. Baby measured 13 weeks. Due date has remained the same. Loved seeing baby yesterday, super active!!

aleciaraez · August 2019

Officially took my seabands off because it appears I don’t need them anymore. But then I did just wake up from a 3 hour nap so I guess the exhaustion is still there.

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

@glynch0303 my first measured a week ahead for a good portion of my pregnancy.

noxacanthus · August 2019

@glynch0303 Mine measured bang on target. My RE measured at 8 weeks and gave us a due date of Feb 8th. At 10.5 weeks, when I had an U/S with the OBGYN, she scoffed and (kind of smugly) said that measurement wasn't an accurate way of estimating due dates and real doctors use LMP. So we gave her all the IVF info which she plugged into her calculator...and then she grudgingly announced, "Your due date is Feb 8th." Hubby was laughing about it for the rest of the day.

clearlyclara · August 2019

Less nauseous now (Yau, second trimester!) and getting my energy back so I've started exercising. I'm hoping to gain less weight than last time (I gained 60 lbs last time)... So far, my weight gain has plateaued. And I'm craving veggies more than anything else so hopefully I meet my weight goal? Fingers crossed

craftywitch · August 2019

The midwives said it’s totally possible, especially in a second pregnancy to feel baby early. I just find the movements hard to differentiate from gas or other stretching. I’m sure some of them sometimes are the baby, but which ones???

ibabyloveb87 · August 2019

@craftywitch that’s the million dollar question. I think the baby flutters feel more like a little fish than gas does.

robynlynn2000 · August 2019

Ive been feeling lots of flutters for two weeks and trying to determine which is which. But Yesterday i felt like someone took a spoon and was just stirring constantly below everything. Right where the baby would be. But i found it hard to believe the baby would be rolling for over an hour. Made me feel sick to my stomach and I had to lay down. It definitely was not gas. But it wasnt the little popping, flutter feelings I normally think of. This is baby #3 so I'm sure I'm feeling things early. With my others it was right around 17 weeks that I was 100% sure they were baby kicks and not flutters. And I'm already at 14 weeks now.
