The nausea is coming on strong this morning after two days of feeling like a normal human. It is taking every piece of my brain to focus on not vomiting and my office mate keeps trying to talk through something with me. I feel bad, but sorry I can’t process what you’re saying unless you want to listen to me vomit all morning.
@pickle-chips Plus 1 for nausea. It was the same with my first pregnancy. My body was like oh, 6 weeks, time to feel nauseous! Yesterday I couldn't go near coffee, this morning my coffee is warm milk with a splash of coffee, but I'm not sure I can finish it.
I believe the throat stuff is because the hormone that relaxes your abdominal muscles and prepares your body for an expanding uterous also relaxes the muscle at the top of your stomach that usually keeps stomach acid in. It's also why there is so much gas (you intestines are just a big tube of muscle), and why some pregnant women get hemorrhoids (your anus and sphincter are muscles). Doesn't make it better, but the nerd in me likes know why this is happening and that at least it is for a good cause.

@klj0228 ugh, that is the worst. Could you tell her you have a migraine? I have turned off the over head lights in my office and I am just using a lamp in hopes that could help. We'll see. Did you bring crackers or cheerios or something you can nibble on?

I think the exhaustion is kicking in, I was wondering when it would. 7:30 pm and I just want to go to bed and I’ve got three screaming boys and a cat running around our (pretty small) home and I just want to crash. I have been having very mild headaches that are just more annoying than anything else. A weird symptom that I’ve never had before if at night when I lay down, after I’ve closed my eyes I have a very weird distinct dizzy/drunk like feeling that only lasts for a few seconds and then disappears. Very weird.
Oh! And last one - lightening crotch! THIS is new for me because this is one that usually doesn’t come until the end of pregnancy when I’m huge. Anyone else?!

@mamakate2011 omg you are not alone. The past few nights when I lay down and close my eyes I have that exact weird dizzy/drunk feeling too. It doesnt last very long and its gone but it's soo strange 🤔 and oddly enough I had these weird zaps or twinges that felt like an electric bolt down in my lower pelvic region. Is that what lightning crotch is?? I've never had that before so I dont know what that feels like. Maybe it's something else???
@mamakate2011 you are definitely not alone! The exhaustion is real and I have no kids (aside from an 8 month old puppy and 2 ornery cats) to contend with!
Also... the nausea kicked in yesterday. So that’s a real fun time. I keep reminding myself that it’s a good sign, but my goodness it is rough!

I was great Friday and Saturday I was so sick I was barely functioning. I have to eat every 2 hours to keep it at bay and if I go too far I become useless and can’t stomach anything. It’s rough.
