Humpday Symptoms!

[icequeen]

Whoop! Hump day, hump day! How are y'all feeling this morning?

Have a great day!

[cindylouwho]

Feeling pretty good this morning! Not sure if that makes me happy, or anxious. My hospital doesn't do ultrasounds until 20 weeks. With DD I went in at 6 weeks due to spotting. I asked my
OB yesterday if I could go in early this time too (I had light spotting about a week ago). She has no problem with this! Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow when I get my blood work done!

[sconnie2015]

Feeling good! Last pregnancy I stressed out a ton because I didn't have a lot of symptoms. This time around, I know that's normal for me and I'm smart enough to be grateful for it. The only symptom I really have is that I'm stupid tired every night.

Super bloated, sore boobs- the usual.

I find myself incredibly tired at night, but wide awake the minute the sun rises! Is anyone else really tired but waking up really early??

Edit: AND SMELLLLS!!!! I cannot handle smells right now!!! Everyone smells like dirty cigarettes and like they haven't showered in MONTHS!

[walkek85]

I'm feeling good so far today. A little cramping/bloating in my lower abdomen. It's still way to early for me to feel any of the other symptoms. I don't think my sore boobs kicked in until 6-7ish weeks and nausea at the end of my 1st tri with DS.

cindylouwho, how exciting to be able to go in early. 20 weeks is a long time to wait without knowing everything is OK. My OB doesn't do first ultrasounds until 8 weeks, and with my last I was able to go in at 6 weeks.

@erin2021 I feel the same way, but I think the rising early has more to do with DS than with this pregnancy.

 +1, also I am super tired but then get into bed and I am wide away for at least a half hour before I pass out.

I'm super, super nauseous. I am surprised I didn't throw up this morning. DH got up with DD and I went back to sleep for almost an hour. I had a very small bowl of plain cheerios and half a cup of coffee. I felt better, but now feel worse again. I feel like when I am hungry it contributes to feeling nauseous, but after I eat, the food doesn't sit well. It's kind of a vicious cycle. I know I need to eat, but almost nothing sounds good, even water isn't sitting well if I drink too much.

I'm still very tired (went to bed at 9, which is quite early for me), and having some cramping/abdominal pain. I am not sure if it's related to the morning (all day) sickness or something I should be concerned about. I'll mention at my appointment tomorrow.

My skin is also starting to break out and I got a headache last night. So basically, everything sucks.

[pineappledeelight]

Sparkly so sorry you're feeling so sick!! I'm right there with ya. Hopefully you haven't had to change too many poopys! I can't imagine!!

I'm feeling slightly better today, nausea-wise, but definitely not great. I'm worried about the 13 hour travel day I'm headed into!! I always feel sick on airplanes, but rarely throw up, so we'll see how today goes! But I'm super not allowed to complain because HAWAII!!

Yeah, it's the only thing I hate about this hospital. They won't do ultrasounds early unless high risk/have had losses. We do go in to hear the heartbeat at 10 weeks though.

Good luck on the plane and have fun in Hawaii!!

Sorry you're not feeling well, Sparkly and pineappledeelight!

You need to eat Sparkly! Hunger makes morning sickness so much worse.

I started on Diclectin. 2/day. I feel normal again. Yay drugs!

[peaseblossom55]

I feel crampy and tired. It seems like the nausea is ok for now although I had no desire to eat my yogurt this morning. My back hurt so bad last night just this one spot but that used to happen even before I was pregnant.

[Deleted]

Oh I have a good symptom (possible craving!)

I plan on picking up some chocolate syrup and dipping my grapefruit in it tonight!!! I am obsessed with grapefruit and chocolate... the thought of combining them is mind blowing right now!

I eat. It is sometimes a challenge. Other times food tastes great, and then 15-30 minutes later I feel sicker than before. It's fun.

[ruthgoose]

Well, I'm gonna just not say anything about my measly symptoms cuz some of you ladies sound miserable! Praying things lighten up quickly so you can have some relief!

[silverspoon]

I've started making food decisions based on how bad I think it might be coming back up. Ketchup might as well be acid. I will be avoiding that for awhile. I only have a 50/50 shot at this point of keeping my food.

Also there's no "morning" about this. Since it started on Sunday, it has not stopped.

No bloating though, so Woohoo!

That does not sound like a yummy combo, but you will have to let us know how it turns out.  DH hates grapefruit because he says it tastes like vomit.

I normally am all over savory foods! My last pregnancy I was craving milk and beef, this one I want nothing to do with meat or milk. I want fresh and sweet!

I want chicken, cheese, bread, bacon, fries... Alllll the bad things. Every now and then I suddenly want chocolate (I have a huge sweet tooth), but as soon as I eat it, I usually want something salty instead! A coke would also be amazing right now...

I don't know about your chocolate and grapefruit combo... I like sweet with salty, but I don't know about sour.

Normally I can't stand sweet foods, so it's very odd for me to want it. Although bacon sounds pretty damn yummy right now!

cindylouwho, if I'm not feeling symptoms, I automatically feel worried. It's not just you. Just because it's my second baby does not make me less paranoid or grateful that I'm not "feeling" pregnant, sconnie2015!
@erin2021, unfortunately I am waking up early not by choice, but due to DD's schedule. So sorry your sense of smell has gone so haywire, that sounds crazy!
Sparkly, ugh I'm sorry it's hit you full force like that. Hopefully you can find some bland starchy things like buttery toast or oatmeal that you can sit well with. Ginger ale has been really good for me, too.
pineappledeelight, OMG! I'm so jealous! have a great time!
silverspoon, good grief, you sound miserable. I'm a little worried! I hope you are able to get enough calories with nutritional value in you. I usually use meds as a last resort but if you start losing too much weight it might be something to consider!

I am actually feeling good today, which is a little worrisome, haha! My cramping has lessened in frequency, I was only a little bit nauseous eating breakfast, and I'm not as tired, even though I woke up an hour earlier! Trying not to get too caught up in my head, though

bacon guac cheese fries, please and thank you.

icequeen, I'm the same way (getting caught up in my head). I have no nausea or morning sickness right now, so obviously I think something is wrong.

I'm sure once it hits, I'll regret worrying so much lol!

[mrsoscarfelix]

I think I am having an aversion to meat... when I chew the texture completely grosses me out.

[silverspoon]

icequeen I'm hoping to figure out the right combination of what to eat and when at some point. My first appointment isn't until 6/15, but if it doesn't get better I'm definitely going to call.

This is quite miserable. It's all worth it though. I've been told. I also have to keep reminding myself.

I'm glad you're feeling good, although I can see why that would be worrisome. Jeez this stuff is tough. You worry when you feel good and you worry when you feel bad.

I do the same thing, deciding what to eat based on how it will feel coming up. I also chew really well during 1st Tri. Not to be a pill pusher... But think about how you're feeling now, and think about when it will get to be too much because it's likely to get worse until 10 weeks. P.S. Throwing up multiple times a day isn't great for your body. Take care!

[ilovewine]

I feel tired today. It seems like I am tired all day and wide awake at night. I'm also really emotional and kind of queasy.

It is TOTALLY worth it! I just know it's common for women to actually lose weight during the first trimester due to vomiting and lack of appetite, and I'm one of those people that obsesses over how everything I do affects the baby. I hope you find the right balance, too! 6/15 seems so far away. That sucks that you have to wait that long. Hang in there!

Hope all of you ladies start to feel better! I know it's still early with a few weeks of fun left... haha!
