May Symptoms

in December 2021 Moms
Since we did one for April, I thought we should have a general thread for symptoms in May too! 

Any new symptoms? Are symptoms subsiding? Tell us how you’re feeling this month!

    I am personally having a lot of symptoms lately, more than I remember with DD! Currently experiencing nausea, gastrointestinal issues, heartburn, headaches/migraines, night sweats, irritability, hip/lower back pain, food aversions, and fatigue! 

    I feel like my nausea has been worse in the last few days, which is super disappointing because I was hoping at 10 weeks maybe it would start to subside. Hoping for some relief soon, I really don’t like taking Unisom/B6 daily....

    So this weekend was the worst yet. 6 times sick on Sunday. But then yesterday ans today, just slightly nausea and no actual throwing up! It’s amazing... but nerve racking... like are the symptoms disappearing? I wish I had an appt this week :( first week with no appt and it’s giving me so much anxiety!!

    @JamieH2000 I totally understand! I thought I was feeling a little better from 8-9 weeks, but then it came back full force. Ugh. Maybe your symptoms are just easing up? I totally get it though, I am finding any reason to feel anxious... any twinge, cramp, or slightly off (in my head 🙈) discharge has me on the verge of losing it. I’ve almost called my OB so many times, but have resisted the urge because I literally have no evidence to support my worry. PGAL just messes with you I think... or just being pregnant in general sometimes!

    @rgn12- right!! I agree. Things can change day to day and I’m resisting the urge to call my OB too!! I was just on such a downward projectory so to feel any better is odd!! But I am getting over a head cold so perhaps that’s helping. Can it just be second tri yet?!!!

    I am having some slight nausea which I didn't really have at all with DD - it's definitely not full-blown morning sickness but still unpleasant.

    Main symptoms are exhaustion (SO. FREAKING. TIRED.) and feeling like I have a rock in my stomach. I constantly waver back & forth between food aversion and  wanting to eat everything in sight.

    I had pretty bad morning sickness with all of my kids, but so far I seem to be more nauseous than anything. Also, very few things sound good to eat. Or if something does, it’s fleeting. 

    I’m totally exhausted. 

    My big one in the last couple weeks though is my eyesight. I have pretty good vision usually, but I really struggle to see my computer screen or text at all.

    Guys I am miserable.  My pregnancy with my daughter was a friggin walk in the park.  I was so peppy, happy, energetic, and not sick.  I definitely took advantage of it (kickboxed until the day I went into labor!) and knew I was lucky.  I thought MAYBE my body just likes pregnancy.  Boy was I wrong.  I am literally exhausted all day, every day, no matter how much sleep I get overnight, and even if I nap.  I am nauseous all the time, but evenings are  THE WORST.  I can barely eat anything, but chicken especially turns me off.  I am achy all over, but my right shoulder and arm hurt so bad I can barely use it?  Weird.  The worst is my body hair is not slowing down like it did last time :( I barely had to shave and I friggin loved it.   Not so much this time.  Wahhhhh pregnancy is hard.  I envy past pregnant me!

    @scaredunprepared I feel you!! I can make it to about 1-2 in the afternoon and I just am absolutely miserable. This has definitely been the hardest of my 3 pregnancies. Hopefully we get some relief in the second tri soon!

    The leg cramps/Charlie horses are the worst. I got those and headaches super bad in second tri. Magnesium supplements helped with both.

    @eggsbene42 @kaitcrystalline oof I haven’t had any leg cramps this time but boy do I remember them from last time. I’d wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. I’ll have to remember magnesium for that if I get them again!

    @scaredunprepared that so crazy how different your pregnancy is. So far mine have all been exactly the same. Makes me think this will be girl #3. 
    I’m at the point where I feel like I need to eat something all the time, if I don’t I start feeling nauseous. But not much sounds good. And everything leave the worst aftertaste that stays in my mouth forever. I’ve put on probably 7-10 lbs in the past two weeks with all my extra eating. And I could pass as 20+ weeks along by now. :/ 

    Leg cramps are definitely the worst! I will have to remember the magnesium as well!

    @scaredunprepared I totally get the joint pain. Mine was so bad with my first that both my husband and I had to take a week of sick days bc I couldn't even stand up to get on and off the toilet my hips and knees hurt so bad. 


    This one I'm just nauseous all day. And my blood pressure gets so low.

    @savedbygrace1213 they also make magnesium lotion you can rub right onto your calves! Then you don't have to swallow anything on an empty ish stomach

    @rgn12 same! My previous pregnancies were a walk in the park, I had no idea how good I had it lol. This time I am nauseous, have hot flashes (wtf), fatigue, irritability, headaches, food aversions to nearly everything, fatigue, heartburn. I feel like I can barely function 😭

    So far this pregnancy is a mirror image of my last - including sciatic pain so sitting and moving is just fun lol. I think I'm going to look into a prenatal chiropractor or something!
