I guess tired is just a part of my personality now. And so cranky, I'm trying to remind myself it's not my earthside children that are ruining my morning.
I’m 11w2d and I’m going to lose my mind if I don’t stop with the “morning” sickness soon. I know I’m losing weight, if I can keep 1 food item down a day I call it a win. All of my other symptoms have faded, but this one is vengefully staying
8 weeks tomorrow & symptoms change day to day. I need to finish some work tonight but I'm laying here nauseous with what I'm guessing is round ligament pain (pinch in my lower abdomen, it changes sides), & gas pain. I'm really looking forward to my first appointment on Tuesday to see what's going on in there. And the congestion! It's awful, that's the one thing that's been consistent every day. Also, I love my pets, but this super smell does use no favors lol
This week my pants fit in the morning but by the afternoon I need to unbutton them 😆 after my nausea had been worsening for a few days I hardly noticed it at all today! I went from not being able to drive the 3 miles to work without dry heaving to feeling fine today. I would kind of appreciate a little nausea just to feel pregnant while I wait for my next ultrasound though.
@iiirene lollll same, in the morning I don’t look pregnant at all and in the evening I’m about the size I was at 15 weeks last time. I’ve given up on real pants, leggings and sweatpants only until I bother digging out my mat pants from storage.

Absolutely nothing sounds good to eat. I’m so bloated. And about every other day I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. Also, once I finally fell asleep last night I had some gnarly nightmares. No fun. Mood is ok, but by the end of the day I’m real, real testy.

I literally just went on a 6 day streak of minimal bowel movement. It's been so uncomfortable and when im hungry, i still eat but I'm hesitant because I'm so uncomfortable. I. 8w2d today. Anyone experience this??
The nausea hasn't been as terrible the last 2 days, but I woke up in a MOOD this morning. I hope for minimal interaction with people because I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep my attitude in check.
Pregnancy constipation is the worst! I had it so badly with my third in the first trimester. I had to be diligent in drinking enough water. I took a fiber supplement everyday (because my diet was crap due to the nausea), and added a colace alongside my prenatal. If you like prunes, or are desperate, you can find individually wrapped prunes meant to be eaten one a day. I wish you and your tummy troubles the best.

@msmarypiie constipation is totally normal! I actually had to "dis-impact" myself a few weeks ago (you DON'T want to get there). I basically take a stool softener now every other day, and also magnesium at night to help me relax/sleep/get things going.
@trubaby411 LOL @ "I woke up in A MOOD." I hope you were able to keep it together. I find my husband gets the brunt of my moods. I'm glad that I was blessed with a (mostly) very patient H.
My biggest issue is the constant middle-of-the-night wakefulness. Doesn't help that I have to deal with a total douche at work, so I wake up and start thinking about that situation. Today I actually threw in the towel and ended up writing a treatise on DB's latest antics to share with my/his manager + HR. It was therapeutic.

@acleverusername patient husbands are the best! Fortunately, I had some cancellations and managed a nap, so by the evening I was doing better. There was definitely a good chance of an adult tantrum in the morning though!
