November Symptoms

jrouge12 · November 2019

Another month, another weird list of things pregnancy does to our bodies!

laurasauruss · November 2019

What’s the protocol for disappearing for like 8 weeks and then just casually making a reappearance? Can I just pretend I was never gone? Do I reintroduce myself?

(First trimester with a less than one year old has been ROUGH)

13+3 today, I got a lot of my energy back last week but nausea came back with a vengeance. My little has been teething and sick so she wants to nurse more often but my nipples have gotten so sore and I cannot keep up with the hunger.

Mild cramping here and there, and the fun leg numbness and random pain made an appearance this week too.

One positive symptom? My hair looks GREAT!

Welcome back @laurasauruss!

I am still 10w4d, and when I think my nausea is starting to go away...it comes back with a vengeance the next day. Therefore, still in the nausea stage...

Hungry, and my fatigue has subsided, or at least at bay with my earlier bed time .

Also boob pain is more intense than the early weeks...

mamaclownface · November 2019

@laurasauruss Jealous. I'm waiting for my hair and skin to get the memo. My nails are kicking a**, though. I'm taking 3 giant horse pills of a prenatal, so please allow me the luxury of good hair!

Mild cramping has started over here. Mild nausea still going strong. I have yet to get sore boobs though. With my first they stayed feeling bruised, I'm wondering when I'll notice changes there this go round.

jrouge12 · November 2019

@kylelee23 My boob soreness has been nothing like with my first. My nipples are super sensitive and I get occasional soreness but not the constant pain I had with DD. They definitely feel fuller though than before being KU this time.

bananapanda · November 2019

@kylelee23 and @jrouge12 I never really had boob pain that I remember with DD, but they are so sore this time! I'm 12+2 and the last couple weeks they've felt heavy/bruised and sensitive nipples. I can't stand anything touching them.

mamaj1220 · November 2019

@laurasauruss I wish my hair looked great lol I’m shedding worse than my cat!

mamaj1220 · November 2019

@kylelee23 @jrouge12 and @bananapanda my boobs are like my one constant symptom! My nipples are ridiculously sensitive like if something touches them I want to cry and bras suck!

mamaclownface · November 2019

@jrouge12, @bananapanda, @mamaj1220 It's reassuring to know that it can vary so much pregnancy to pregnancy. I'm talking no soreness, no sensitivity, no fullness- nothing. I'm also part of the itty bitty titty committee so I was hoping to grow some like last time

shamrocandroll · November 2019

Ugh my nausea decided to come back tonight after taking a couple of weeks off. 😖

mamaj1220 · November 2019

No @shamrocandroll that’s the worst! I hope it’s a one night thing and you’re back to feeling better tomorrow

babyfoxden10 · November 2019

I pee twice a night now 2am and 5am it’s super annoying. I thought this would be something later on in my pregnancy. In other news my nausea is manageable and I was actually hungry today - yay! Hopefully turning a corner now that I’ve hit trimester 2.

laurasauruss · November 2019

@mamaj1220 Oh man, I feel you so hard. My last pregnancy, my breasts and nipples were so sore, I swear I could be sitting naked and my partner would breathe from 5 feet away and I’d flinch. I had to shower with a bikini top on many times, even up to the end. Not fun at all!

shamrocandroll · November 2019

@babyfoxden10 Ugh, I'd take 2 times a night for sure. I'm up to 4 most nights. 😖

ruby696 · November 2019

@babyfoxden10 and @shamrocandroll I'm up 2-3. How bad is it going to be when we're 8 months??

shamrocandroll · November 2019

@ruby696 I don't wanna think about it. May as well sleep in the bathroom. By then I'll likely be too uncomfortable to sleep anyway. 😭

thepretzelchick · November 2019

My nausea has mostly subsided. I'm still down 12 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I've been able to eat again.

My boobs are atrocious and I hate them. I'm a stomach sleeper and they're preventing me from sleeping normally, so my back and neck hurt as a result. I was able to stomach sleep with #2 well into 3rd tri, so I wasn't anticipating needing to figure something else out for awhile.

My main thing right now is just exhaustion. I could sleep all day and not be rested enough. My mom asked my son what I was doing the other day and he answered, "She's in bed. She has a case of the pregnancy."

I've discovered that pregnancy in your 30s when you already have kids is way different than pregnancy with your first in your mid-20s. I had energy galore then. I packed a house. We moved cross-country. We did so many fun things. Now I'm pretty much on my ass all day in between school drop-off and pick-up so I have energy to be a functioning adult 3-9pm.

tj_2 · November 2019

Has anyone noticed food not being exciting right now? I didn't have morning sickness so maybe this is my body's way it balancing things out but nothing sounds great or tastes really good recently.

miss_lynn9 · November 2019

@tj_2 I'm with you on that, nothing is appetizing right now. It's pretty disappointing because I LOVE food! I'm even turned off by drinks. My favorite dairy free & egg free eggnog came out so I bought a few but I'm having a hard time drinking it. Same with my flavored water.

I also haven't been very nauseous lately.

m6agua · November 2019

@tj_2 Yes, I remember in my last pregnancy all food was just blah. Like I would eat food, but it was like the taste was muted and just mediocre. Nothing tasted really good and nothing tasted terrible. Almost like I was numb to it.

tj_2 · November 2019

@jess09lynn @m6agua Exactly!! Sometimes I'll crave things, mostly it all sounds blah. Even when I get what I'm craving it never quite hits the spot. I hope this goes away soon cuz I also LOVE food.

mamaj1220 · November 2019

I thought I had made it through most of the nausea but this weekend has been rough and I’ve had to throw up a couple times. Still feeling like I can’t complain though because I know how much worse it could be for me.

MarniVoice · November 2019

12 weeks 1 day and I cant poop. Like at all. Been like this since like 8 weeks. Taking every remedy known to man. Weaning myself off zofran and holding that helps. I've had to do enemas twice already. Seriously, no sh$_!

brettanomyces · November 2019

I’ve already got some fierce heartburn that comes by in the evenings. I’m dreading how bad it’s going to get in 3t.

Also the beginnings of my pregnancy cough cough are appearing. Have to stock up on cough drops soon.

jrouge12 · November 2019

@brettanomyces I had a ton of heartburn with DD (she was born with a gorgeous head of hair though). It was actually worse 2nd tri than 3rd though. Mine has been starting up too.

brettanomyces · November 2019

@jrouge12 haha I forgot about that wives tale! My kids were both born with a bit of hair.

I have had this issue with all my pregnancies too. The only thing that helps is eating tons of fruit and veggies and tons of water. This only helps... does not fix the issue. It’s the worst of my pregnancy symptoms. Colace helps eventually...

jrouge12 · November 2019

@brettanomyces I've read that some studies have linked the heartburn to hair. It's a somewhat true old wives tail!

cscrzldbg · November 2019

I have found that if I have a couple pieces of starburst candy (just something sweet and sugary really) when I first wake up, it helps to bring my blood sugar back up. It gives me time to actually get real food in my stomach. I talked with my midwife about it and she just laughed at my guilty confession. She said at this point calories are calories and any calorie is better than no calorie. And it is actually becoming more common to have that bit of sweet, sugar first thing upon waking to help bridge the short time gap when more nutritious food is processed & absorbed.

The nausea gets worse when your blood sugar takes swings so maintaining a more regular level really helps, i.e. lots of small eals or snacks through the day (and night if you get up...lol). My friend is on her 4th and I was surprised no one had told her this. She has had HG and since she's been spreading out her meals more she hasn't had as many issues this time. She took zofran with her first and refuses to take it again so she has been trying everything she can find to help.

I also had this issue last pregnancy. Eventually I was taking 3 Colace a day and Miralax did nothing. The only thing I found that worked for me was to drink a soda or coffee every couple days to make myself go. I am one of the 40% that caffeine acts like a laxative.

cscrzldbg · November 2019

As for symptoms... it's not tender nipples (yet) for me but itchy areolas. It is starting to spread, too, because sometimes the whole breast gets itchy. They're not dry, just itchy. Really inconvenient when I'm at work; 😫 it's not like I can just stop in the middle of a massage to stick my hand down my shirt and give them a good scratch. Lol. 😂

For you ladies with constipation frustration (@MarniVoice, @Amyface813, et al.), how much exercise are you getting and what kind? I'm unfortunately down to once a week right now because of nausea and lack of energy and it is slowing things up considerably. But for the 2-3 days after the gym things are moving nicely. I'm looking forward to getting back on my training schedule soon and also back on a regular BM one too. Lol

rox7777 · November 2019

Woke up with a super swollen throat and a nose bleed. Hooray winter pregnancies. Sending MH to the store for cough drops and a new humidifier.

soprano19 · November 2019

My pants are extremely tight all of a sudden. Also I think my high school students are suspicious. 😳

babyfoxden10 · November 2019

@soprano19 luckily I teach elementary so they are less observant. I’m more concerned about their parents at conferences. I’m not really showing, but conferences are in another month so who knows what I’ll look like.
I remember we could tell when my HS Italian teacher was pregnant because she stopped drinking her XL coffees lol

bananapanda · November 2019

@rox7777 getting a cold while pregnant is the worst! I'm sure I will have one soon since DD goes to daycare and brings us home one of every germ. Hope you feel better soon!

@soprano19 it's crazy how some of my pants still fit me just fine and others there is no way they are going on. I guess it's just where they sit on my belly? No shame in maternity pants though

laurasauruss · November 2019

@soprano19 I teach high school too, and my first pregnancy there was a rumor that I got a boob job because those babies showed way faster than my belly

I'm also already in maternity pants because I can't last a whole day in my regular ones. Soo much more comfortable.

I've got a cold now (second one in 5 weeks

) and can't wait to finally get over it once and for all. I just want to fell good and normal again!

Yesterday I threw up 3 times. The last time I had already gone to bed but woke up feeling so sick I had to run to the bathroom. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING AWAY NOW. GO. AWAY!!

adventuresawait2 · November 2019

@rox7777 @laurasauruss hope you feel better soon! I am just getting over a cold and it has been tough. Got a few nose bleeds with it, too

I also feel like the nausea is getting worse if anything, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

rox7777 · November 2019

@adventuresawait2 I’ve been taking zofran pretty consistently since week 6. 14 weeks now and my nausea is still coming and going. Some days I do great, some days I literally gag just from rolling over in bed. It’s fun and the only pregnancy (TTM) that I’ve experienced this with.

pirateduck · November 2019

13 weeks today. Just vomited for the first time. Hooray. And everyone says things are supposed to improve now, not get worse.

sbishop426 · November 2019

Feels like I pulled a muscle in my stomach- is this round ligament pain? It’s like a dull constant pain and sometimes sharp pains. 14 weeks now. I didn’t experience this with my boys but since this is baby #3 I’ve noticed more aches and pains.

sbishop426 · November 2019

@pirateduck yuck no fun, I threw up for the first time too a few days ago at 14 weeks.
