Monday Symptoms!

[icequeen]

Hey y'all! How are y'all feeling this morning? Hope y'all had a good weekend

[silverspoon]

I feel like I'm starting to crack. I'm just so sick of feeling sick. If I never eat another saltine again after this is over it will be too soon. I make sure I'm always drinking water because throwing up something is always better than when your stomach is almost empty.

I think it's that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it. Saturday morning I felt great. Saturday evening and Sunday morning were terrible. It's like I never know what the day is going to bring. I just know at some point it's going to suck.

I'm trying to be positive. I really am. I'm so grateful to even be pregnant. I just can't help thinking of all the weeks left and there's no guarantee that it will get better after the first trimester.

[pinktoes]

That's awful silverspoon.

[pinktoes]

Exhaustion is setting in. It's going to be a long day.

[reagan1010]

silverspoon I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad! Is there anything your doctor can prescribe to get you through it? I hope this ends soon for you!

[reagan1010]

My breasts are so swollen and tender. Also, the nausea comes out of no where at any time.

[cindylouwho]

Hugs silverspoon. I feel like crap, but haven't thrown up yet. Mine is right away in the morning and at dinner. I can't seem to find anything that sits well in my stomach.

[silverspoon]

I don't have a doctor's appointment until the end of my first trimester. I really want to avoid taking anything. If it starts to interfere with me going to work or doing my job or if I start losing weight I am going to call.

Right now it feels like that appointment is a goal. Like there is an end in sight that's a little closer than January.

[mrsoscarfelix]

My boobs are sore, not as much as they were though. I felt a wave of queasiness this morning and I am exhausted at night. Other than that I am not feeling much. The lack of symptoms are really starting to mess with my mind. I am only 5w tomorrow, so I am hoping that it is just early.

[Lsquared]

silverspoon that sounds miserable. What about B6 supplements? I've heard they can really help!

ETA: just checked the sheet my OB's office sent me. 50mg 3x per day is the recommended dose for the B6 supplement. Also said Unisom is safe and effective to use. Hope you get some relief soon! silverspoon

[Sparkly]

(((Hugs))) silverspoon, I know how you feel, trust me I do. It is awful, and honestly, not to diminish morning sickness for anyone, but when you really have it bad, most people do not understand.

I really encourage you to touch base with your doc or a nurse at the practice sooner if things don't start to improve. I understand not wanting to take anything, I was like this with my first pregnancy, and I actually regret not getting help/meds sooner. You don't have to suffer. For me, I actually still feel sick on Zofran, but at least I am not throwing up (usually), and it takes the edge off. I didn't know what it felt like to wake up in the morning not feeling completely nauseous and like absolute shit until well into second trimester. It really sucks. I hope you feel better soon... and again, if you decide to, please do not feel bad about taking something. It is perfectly safe for you and your baby, and it is not worth it for you to be miserable all the time or life to be disrupted by illness if it can be avoided.

[Sparkly]

AFM today.... Same old, same old. Woke up feeling awful, did not want to get out of bed. Thank goodness at least DD has been sleeping better, and DH has really stepped up on everything because he sees how bad off I am (we both agree worse and sooner than last time).

Took my zofran, had half an english muffin and was able to manage a few sips of coffee. So FX no headache today. I'm about to go get some tea from Sbux. I felt hungry after dropping DD at the nanny, so I got a bagel w/ cream cheese at Dunkin Donuts on the way to work. So I am okay right now.

[silverspoon]

I didn't know about B6. I will call if I really think I can't take it anymore. I just want to try a few things first.

My husband has been so sweet about this. He came back from the store and bought me peppermint tea because he said he looked it up and it's supposed to be help. I think I'll keep him. He wanted to help with laundry, but I couldn't risk my clothes. He does not understand sorting or delicates.

[zaydensmomma20]

silverspoon, Sparkly, I'm so sorry you two are feeling so bad I hope you ladies start feeling better and the hormones start to level out a bit.

Today was my first day of morning sickness. I haven't puked yet but omg I am pretty sure I will by the end of the week. This morning was terrible! I could feel a ball of acid coming up my throat. I'm just glad DS let me sleep in while he played quietly in his room. Pregnancy insomnia has also surfaced as well. I laid in bed at 9 last night and I was so restless. (atrb_partsz)

mrsoscarfelix we are EDD pals so this may bring you peace: I am in the exact same boat. I feel nauseous around 1pm until about 3 pm (happened the last 3 days so we will see today) my boobs are sore but not as bad as before and I am super tired. I have been freaking out the last few days as well because I am feeling "less" pregnant than I did early last week (not to mention I keep wanting to POAS to reassure myself) but I think this is probably just the calm before the 6 week storm. Hang in there and don't think too hard

silverspoon And Sparkly am sorry you are feeling the pain. Fx you feel better asap.

[kingsqueen131]

This is my third pregnancy, and this one is the most different to me. My boobs are sore but not as bad as I remember with my other two. I am tired but not as exhausted like I was before. But I am am having some extreme back pain and I know that it is way too early for this! Maybe I slept the wrong way or something? I don't know but I have a Dr. appt this Wed that I had set for a reg visit, and boy is my ob/gyn going to be surprised LOL! So I guess we will check and see what is going on with my back then.....I hope that everyone that is feeling crappy today feels better and gets some relief soon!

[peaseblossom55]

I'm miserable today. I'm so tired I didn't sleep well last night my boobs were really sore and I'm so nausea since yesterday it's been pretty bad. I just want to go home and sleep. My acne is awful but that is the least of my worries.

[thebanich]

My doctors won't prescribe zofran unless you are basically dying.

I've been running in and out of the bathroom all morning to dry heave. It's lovely.

[thebanich]

I need to set up for a lunch but I'm on the verge of puking again. Fuuuuuuuuck

I am on a vitamin B complex which has B6 in it. I started taking it because I was doing a low-carb diet before I was pregnant. I haven't stopped taking it but yesterday I skipped it and felt nauseous here and there all day. I also had a wave of nausea this morning before I took it but otherwise I seem to feel fine. I don't know if it's the B vitamin helping or I am just not sick.

I hope you start to feel better soon and that you are able to manage in on your own.

[ruthgoose]

Good morning, or at least, I am wishing a better morning for some of you. A little bit queasy today but that's all, hoping lunch will make me feel back to normal. Cramping has returned to just the barely there kind, which makes me feel better. Boobs full, I'm bloated, and tired. That's about it.

[Lollipop]

My boobs are killing me today. The tiniest bit of pressure is too much right now. And the nausea is pretty bad again. If I don't eat I feel sick, but if I eat too much I feel sick. I really need to find the balance. Also, super tired. But that's because I had a couple of sleepless (insomnia) nights, and my body wants to catch up.

[scorpioscuba]

I love reading these and have been reading about all of your symptoms for days now. I'm sorry that some of you already have such bad morning sickness! No fun. I remember trying to feel grateful for the pregnancy but being so miserable at the same time my last time around. It's a tough balance.

AFM, so far this time I've had some nausea which I've found goes away if I get moving instead of sitting still. Can't always do that though! I've also been sleeping pretty good and going to bed earlier than normal. I'm typically an insomniac but I've been getting nearly 8 hours every night! It helps that my 4 yo is finally staying in his own bed for most of the night and not night waking (knock on wood!).

Last time I had sore boobs and they grew a size over night (and they are already large to begin with) but that hasn't happened yet. I'm still super early so I'm sure it's coming.

[itsmeally]

Still no major symptoms. Just exhaustion and wanting to bite my husbands head off. I am being such a bitch & I can't help it :/

[FrancesHouseman]

My heart goes out to all of you dealing with bad morning sickness - it sucks and I'm sorry

Not much to report in the way of symptoms here, which of course makes me nervous. I got my Friday blood work back and it's normal. I told the nurse about my spotting, which really turned into light bleeding on Saturday night, but she wasn't concerned - I dunno - I have my first appointment on Thursday so I'm hoping for an u/s.

I also have my first appointment with a naturopath/acupuncturist tomorrow

[gidgetgirl08]

I knew I'd had it too easy the last week - constant nausea has decided to be my companion starting today - woohoo! And sleepy - sooooooo sleepy

[gizmo]

Hi all! I'm just joining and intro'd in the intro thread.
Hugs to everyone dealing with the awful ms!

This is my second, and just like with the first, I knew I was pregnant by how sore my boobs were. The big difference is that today they aren't as sore and I'm having pretty decent cramps and low back pain. I'm nervous about that. DH is giving me grief, (joking), that I'm already playing the "back ache" card. Yeah, dude. Get rubbing. I'm hoping that the cramping/back ache stops soon.

[icequeen]

Hugs and healthy vibes to all the ladies with bad MS. I actually wish I could commiserate silverspoon, peaseblossom55, thebanich, gidgetgirl08, zaydensmomma20.
mrsoscarfelix, I was feeling some symptoms at 5 weeks but they're almost all gone. kelltothekell, that's how I feel too!
Sparkly, FX that today was more manageable for you. Bagels and cream cheese sound amazing. Any carbs sound amazing. Thank god I got rid of my scale a few weeks ago.
itsmeally, I'm being a bitch too. I feel so bad because I'm home with DD all day and I'm just not a fun mom anymore. Bring on more mom guilt.
FrancesHouseman, good luck at your appointments tomorrow and Thursday!

Still feeling good, so... yay? I'm just more tired than usual and have sore nipples. I probably gained 5 lbs too.

[sj821]

Sorry to those of you dealing with yucky morning sickness! Hope you get some relief soon!

My nipples feel like they are on fire and I'm so sleepy. I'm also really irritable at work, but I think that's just the end of the year stuff. My students are CRAZZZZZY! 8 more school days...I think I can...I think I can...

Thanks Hun! Today was a little better. I'm thinking being on the zofran a couple days now is helping. I do not even want to thinking about the scale or how much weight I've probably gained already, though!
