October Symptoms

iiirene · October 2022

I thought we could probably change symptoms to monthly since hopefully most of our major first trimester symptoms should be starting to settle down.

My boobs have been sensitive for a while now, but the last 2 days it seems like the intensity has been amplified. I feel like I need a protective bubble around my chest to keep any and all contact away! Blah!

Indigestion and heartburn coming in hottt

allykat92 · October 2022

My nausea has increased a lot

hoping it is just getting worse before it gets better. I hope it starts to edge out soon

trubaby411 · October 2022

The headaches have found their way to me. Oof I hope they don't stick around long!

acleverusername · October 2022

My boobs are just really really big and sore. Way more than in the 1st tri. Argh.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

Having some heartburn. And yesterday I had a headache all day long. Heartburn with both other pregnancies was TERRIBLE so expecting the same this time around.

rfm1999 · October 2022

Didn’t have any morning sickness and felt great up till a few days ago, am now having lots of headaches and indigestion. Any suggestions on what to do for the headaches??

Headaches 😞

ellemarie90 · October 2022

oh yes the headaches are no joke!

iiirene · October 2022

I could really use some of that magical second trimester energy everyone always raves about.

firsttimema08 · October 2022

Round ligament pain. This is my first pregnancy and the pain and discomfort that came with round ligament pain was not expected. I hope it doesnt last long.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

@firsttimema08 I hope you are lucky abs it goes away. My 2nd pregnancy it basically lasted the entire time and just got worse.

gingerbunny23 · October 2022

I guess I've never had particularly great skin, but I totally had myself convinced that I'd "glow" and look beautiful pregnant....I was wrong. I've never had breakouts this bad

etnyah · October 2022

@gingerbunny23 I’m dealing with the same. I did last time too, but then around 20 weeks it changed and I stopped breaking out and have never had better skin. Hopefully that’ll happen this time as well, and also for you!

firsttimemama1987 · October 2022

Ugh, same girl

acleverusername · October 2022

SI Joint Pain.

etnyah · October 2022

I thought I was done puking. Haven’t puked in almost two weeks, although I’m still slightly queasy occasionally, especially if I go too long without eating.

Nope! Made a grilled cheese last night and it came straight back up. I hope that’s the last time. I should be done with this crap at 15 friggin weeks.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

@etnyah ugh sorry that's the worst! I hope it stops soon!

etnyah · October 2022

It wasn’t the last time, I puked again today. In the bushes outside the transit station! I hope no one saw

Pretty sure it’s because the wildfire smoke returned. I’m really sensitive to it and it was really bad today. It’s good to have an explanation for why I’m still puking, but I’d still prefer to be done!

acleverusername · October 2022

@etnyah woke up this morning dry heaving badly. Drank some water and proceeded to like that out 30 min later. A shit way to start the day. So, I hear you.

karlax3 · October 2022

No longer nauseous all the time BUT the round ligament pain are the worse!

acleverusername · October 2022

Is anyone's belly itchy?! Mine is hella itchy.

iiirene · October 2022

My head is killing me. I can’t figure out what to make the daily headaches stop. It wasn’t this was when I was pregnant with my son. I drink a ton to water, take naps, take Tylenol-no luck

MsBeachNJ · October 2022

@iiirene - this was me last week - I had a 5 day streak of absolute KILLER headaches - to the point I couldn't function. I started taking all the vitamins the MFM doctor suggested - and I believe the one that is helping the headaches is Magnesium. (For reference I'm also taking Vitamin C, D, Iron, Fish Oil & Low dose aspirin, aside from my prenatal)

mradvins · October 2022

Same for me with headaches. I’ve also been waking to pee and unable to fall back asleep after that. So I’m a daily zombie

babybmom0421 · October 2022

@mradvins the insomnia is hitting me hard. I wake up everyday around 3 AM to pee and take HOURS to fall back asleep, then up by 7:30. Exhausting

ladyofarlington · October 2022

Anyone else feeling a ton of pelvic pressure? I do not remember this with my first. Maybe toward the very end of the pregnancy, but definitely not this early. Ugh.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

@ladyofarlington I definitely had a LOT more pressure with my 2nd than my first! This time I have felt some, but not as bad as last time (not yet, anyway).

nsk489 · October 2022

These headaches are killing me 😵 I definitely didn't have this my first pregnancy. It almost feels like a caffeine headache but I gave up my morning cup of coffee almost 2 months ago and only have an occasional mid-day cup maybe once every 1-2 weeks....so I really don't think it's caffeine related

etnyah · October 2022

@nsk489 saaaame. Headaches were not a thing last time, this time it’s horrible! And sounds like we have the same caffeine habits so I agree, it’s not that. It sucks!

Speaking of coffee, I’m surprised I don’t like it at all currently. Last pregnancy I was back to my normal coffee schedule but this time I just don’t want it. I’ll have the occasional latte, which is more appealing than my regular black cup. Really weird. I miss coffee but I don’t want it.

nsk489 · October 2022

@etnyah it's strange, last time I gave up coffee (also just plain black) bc it gave me such bad heartburn. This time around coffee doesn't sound appetizing, other than an occasional mid-day cup when I'm out running errands and can get something seasonal like a pumpkin latte.

MsBeachNJ · October 2022

@etnyah @nsk489 each pregnancy I've had such polarizingly different reactions to coffee. With my first, I couldn't even smell it without dry heaving (which was super fun while working in an office!!) My second, I couldn't drink it at all but didn't mind the smell, this time around, I've been enjoying occasional cups of decaf in the morning no problem!

v_flowers · October 2022

This is my first pregnancy, but I’ve also been dealing with routine headaches since about 14 weeks (I’m 16w currently). I’ve been waking up with them, which is so awful to deal with in the mornings.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

New one: chest acne! Ew. Never have I ever had this before. Not a fan!

etnyah · October 2022

@scaredunprepared bacne for me. Body acne is so gross. At least it’s cold outside now so we can hide it!

scaredunprepared · October 2022

@etnyah lol so true

acleverusername · October 2022

Does anyone else have Montgomery’s tubercles and are they itchy? I have them and my nips are super itchy as a result.

Also why is something in such an intimate place on my body named after a dude? Grrrr.

etnyah · October 2022

@acleverusername yep, I have them and they’re itchy. While also being very sensitive, so that’s fun!

I don’t know if I’m getting sick or what’s going on but I’ve had the worst taste in my mouth, nausea and a splitting headache all day. First-tri level bad. I need this to be over.

etnyah · October 2022

Yeppp definitely getting sick. Woke up and puked right away, now my throat is scratchy and my nose is runny. Headache is fading at least, thank goodness. This sucks though, it’s nice outside today and I wanted to take the little guy to the zoo!

At least it’s good to know it’s not all pregnancy symptoms because it’ll go away quicker, but I’m so sick of being sick.

scaredunprepared · October 2022

@etnyah ugh that's no fun. If it makes you feel any better, my whole household has both a cold AND is recovering from HFM, so it will be a super fun Halloween here 😞

Like you said, at least since it's not pregnancy related, it will clear up quicker.
