Re: Symptoms 3/29

    I've been crampy, usually not painful but enough to make me notice it several times per week. @agea mentioned she's had some cramps, too, so I thought I'd put this discussion in another place in case others have any info!

    Also - I'm taking baby aspirin daily to prevent preeclampsia, and I'm also getting some nasty bruises randomly that seem to take a long time to go away. I am not usually one to bruise easily, and I think there's a connection here between the aspirin and the bruises.

    Any reason not to wait a week to bring these up to my midwife at my next appointment?

    @Aerialmrs same cramps happening here, I do remember with my son have periods of crampiness and my sister in law was also due the same time had the same cramping. Lots of moving and stretching going on.

    @Aerialmrs I’ve been having on and off mild cramping over the past week or so too. I messaged my OB nurse about it, and she said that it’s probably normal and to make sure I’m hydrated!

    I’ve been having a lot of round ligament pain. At least that’s what I’m assuming it is? Sharp pain when you move a weird way? I’ve also been a little crampy but not too bad. Still tired but a little less than before or maybe that’s wishful thinking 😂

    +1 here too for headaches! I try not to take too many meds when I’m pregnant but I’ve had to lean on Tylenol quite a bit (which sucks. Tylenol does nothing for me lol)

    So many cramps. Yesterday they were all pelvic, today it was my whole torso and left chest. I’m pretty sure it was gas but it was fun that it felt like a heart attack.
    @emeraldduchess I could easily puke every time. I can gag just thinking about it. It takes all my focus not to vomit. But at least my gums aren’t bleeding this pregnancy which is a nice change!

    im also still so tired all the time.

    @agea I also have the full chest cramps/gas pains pretty regularly. With my first I remember having to pull over on my commute cause I couldnt breathe! They’re the worst.

    Does most food taste like metal to anyone? Pregnancy is weird AF.

    I've been getting headaches pretty much everyday around 3:00.  I don't normally take tylenol but starting yesterday decided I would.  Normally I just tough it out because it will end and then I don't have one for a while but since it's happening everyday I will welcome the crutch.

    @emeraldduchess you’ll be delighted to know I thought of you (and your inquiry above) as I was vomiting up breakfast this morning as a result of brushing my teeth too soon afterwards. I usually don’t actually puke from it. Zero stars, no fun at all.

    @emeraldduchess that's actually how I figured out I was pregnant this time around. I remember thinking, "hey the last time I gagged while brushing my teeth was when I was pregnant... Oh $@#!" It's gotten better since the morning sickness is less.

    I've been having lots of RLP too. Thinking about getting a belly band. Anyone have one of those? I find that towards the end of the day, after I'm on my feet, I'm literally holding my belly up with my hands because the muscles feel tired.

    Is anyone else absolutely starving in the morning? I swear I've had two whole breakfasts every morning for the last few weeks - and honestly could probably eat more. This morning I made an avocado, egg, and cheese toaster sandwich and the followed it up with a bowl of oatmeal and a banana! I just can' stop.

    @chewie5990 I’ve been starving in the mornings too!! At work I find myself eating my afternoon snacks between my breakfast and lunch, which then leaves me feeling very sad in the afternoon lol

    @chewie5990 I consume the bulk of my days calories before 2pm. Two breakfasts has totally become my norm. I've been SO hungry - like eating every hour. Then once dinner comes, zero appetite and a wave of nausea to remind me that my morning sickness is still lurking.

    @chewie5990 I've been doing 2 breakfasts for over a month, too! I'm much less hungry later in the day.

    Anyone with c section scars having pain in that area? I originally did with bloating in 1st trimester, but it went away and now has come back.

    @sleepydaze I had random scar pain for at least a year after my C section, but haven't had any so far this pregnancy.

    @sleepydaze I have intermittent pain near my c section scar. Probably silly but it makes me worry sometimes, like I wonder if something didn't heal right the last time.

    Okay, I have either had the strangest gas of my life over the last few days or I'm starting to feel movement. I'm at 17w1d and this is my first so it seems early, but I also have a posterior placenta so I guess it's possible. And now I'm worried that if I'm feeling movement this early, I will get no sleep in the third trimester.

    @sawasap I bet movement! So exciting! At the end it’s less kicking and more rolling around because they run out of room. 

    My son slept at night and I used to worry about not feeling him but ended up being a great sleeper. The hip pain and need to pee woke me way more than he did. 
    up more than he did.

    @sawasap Maybe movement!! I'm 16 weeks (2nd baby) and yesterday had my first UNMISTAKABLE movement that was much bigger and more obvious than the little flutters I've been feeling lately. So exciting!!

    I'm so jealous you guys are feeling movement. Im only 14+4 and pretty sure anything Ive been feeling is just gas. Plenty of that to go around lately 😂

    My morning sickness came back the last two days, all day, really bad. I had to go back on the Unisom/B6. SO OVER IT.

    @sawasap with my first I felt movement right at 17 weeks on the nose! It’s undeniable. I also wondered if she’d be very active as she grew but what’s funny is that the moving actually decreased quite a bit because the bigger she got the less room she had and she was pretty squished in there… Sometimes it even made it hard to do my kick counts toward the end! Congrats… It’s such an amazing feeling isn’t it! I felt it super super early this time but I guess I knew what I was looking for.

    The vivid dreaming is exhausting! I just had a terrible dream about saving a bunch of babies and kids (all copies of my kiddos and nephew at different stages) from a burning building. Ugh. That with the peeing and the not being able to fall asleep 🙄

    @whatabout2ndbreakfast I had an intense dream last night about taxes. I dreamt that our tax lady had royally screwed something up and we owed the government tons of money.  Saving babies from a burning building sounds way worse though 😂. 

    I woke up from a dead sleep last night with what felt like intense growing pains in my left leg. I guess it's pregnancy related, because otherwise I have no idea what would cause this. I remember having charley horse cramps in my legs with DS1 but this was different - more like a bad ache.

    @whatabout2ndbreakfast I’m exactly the same. Just crazy dreams every night. Some days I wake up so tired cause I was so restless through the night!

    @muggsd ugh, last night was bad I woke up every 2ish hours. I read somewhere the dreams are supposed to be baby related but mine are just all weird.

    @whatabout2ndbreakfast I definitely never have baby dreams. They are always just super crazy. Often I’m getting chased by someone lol
