Thursday Symptoms/Randoms

[ashley1106]

I'm feeling tired and nauseous. I've lost 2lbs. I need to start getting more food in but it's so hard. I'm also super happy it's thursday. I love Thursdays!

[Deleted]

Incredibly nauseous! It's getting worse every day.

OH and I'm tripping balls right now. I'm my friends maid of honor in roughly 3 weeks. We went to pick up our bridesmaid dresses and mine does NOT fit!! It's a corset and I've seemed to almost outgrow the back! So now I have 3 weeks to attempt to have it taken out! I'm hoping the bloat will go down by then, but ya, I'm fucked.

** ok it 'just' fits me, but I will 100% grow out of it by wedding time **

I am SO TIRED. This morning is worse than most and I have to teach a group of 30 adults all about a software program all day. Ugh. I just want to hang out in yoga pants and stream the Gilmore Girls.

I'm going to attempt to have someone take it out. I feel like it can be done, I'm just nervous about the cost and rushing it.

[silverspoon]

@erin2021 Hopefully because it's a corset it won't be too difficult to alter. It seems like that should make it easier to let it out.

I was looking at the seems and there is a lot of fabric to bring it out. I would say probably 1-2 inches worth. That will allow me to fit comfortable, or even add a wider board at the back. I haven't changed my diet, and have actually been eating less due to nausea. I really think it's the bloat and my goofy stomach.

[itsmeally]

I am here at the hospital waiting for a beta draw. Then we are on the road to Rehoboth Beach, DE for the holiday weekend. Can't wait. Going to try to not worry about my betas, but. Yeah, that won't happen.

Main symptom today: nipples sore as hell. We had some ST last night and I had to tell H to stay away from them.

[pinktoes]

I woke at 4:40 and couldn't fall back asleep. It's going to be a looooong day with what's going on at work and then trying to get everything ready for camping this weekend.

Hopefully the alterations work, @erin2021

[pinktoes]

Hopefully you get good numbers itsmeally

[tinydancer]

I hope you ladies can get some relief from your nausea and tiredness.

@erin2021, good luck with the dress! It can definitely be let out if there's enough seam allowance. Otherwise, you may be able to add in small panels of fabric at the back seams - you might be able to order matching fabric from the dress shop. Sounds like you only need an inch or so though, so I bet letting it out will work just fine.

AFM, I'm feeling good, just a few ute twinges here and there. Had a wave of light nausea yesterday afternoon but I think I was just hungry.

I'll be thinking positive thoughts for your betas. Enjoy the beach - I've never been to Rehoboth but it's on my list of places to visit.

It's wonderful. It has everything, honestly. My mom has a house there so we go every Memorial Day & every Thanksgiving.

itsmeally, good luck with your beta's!

[reagan1010]

Incredibly sore boobs and the bloat struggle is real. It gets worse in the evening but the last few days it has been bad all day long.

Early confession...I just pulled out my maternity pants from my last pregnancy and threw them in the washing machine. I am not going to stuff myself in my jeans and have horrible stomach pain from it anymore!

[kingsqueen131]

itsmeally good luck!

Right now the back pains seems to have lifted and I just have bloat and swollen feet and I am very tired today. But it could be that my allergies are flaring up and that I think I caught a cold from my son....uggggh is it Friday yet? I am so looking forward to this 4 day weekend that I have coming up!

[silverspoon]

I told H last night when things got particularly bad that I feel much closer to death than I had assumed creating new life would feel like. Extremely dramatic, I know.

[mrsoscarfelix]

itsmeally, FX for great betas!!

Nothing still, just tired and emotional. My boobs still hurt.

I am kind of freaking for this weekend, we will be surrounded by so much family and I know when people notice I'm not drinking they are going to ask questions. I am not ready to tell anyone but I am afraid that I am going to freeze and get all nervous. Dammit! Why do I have to love to drink - not having a drink in my hand is going to be an obvious giveaway! My Mom has already been side eyeing me lately.

[peaseblossom55]

I'm exhausted my boobs hurt and the nausea is pretty bad. H surprised me last night with 3 different brands of ginger chews and sucking candies. It seems to help a little bit.

[Sparkly]

FX for good numbers itsmeally, and I hope you have a great weekend vacation! My husband's mom's family is from DE originally, and his grandfather was a very prominent artist. When he died he was honored by the Rehobeth Art League, so we went done for a big memorial celebration of his life and work. We stayed in Lewes, which is where MH vacationed as a kid. So beautiful down there!

@erin2021, good luck with the dress! My MOH's dress didn't fit, AT ALL, when she got it! Fortunately we had a ton of time, but had to order extra fabric and it was a big mess. Hopefully your dress has more in the seams to let out. In the end it did work out though and you hardly noticed the extra panels my seamstress put in for her.


AFM... Still feel like death. I had horrible, painful gas and some diarrhea last night. I guess I am thankful Zofran hasn't stopped me up yet? The constipation was BAD last time, so I've been taking probiotics and stool softeners preemptively, although I keep having diarrhea so I don't take stool softeners those days, obviously.

I got in bed around 7 last night, feel asleep around 8-8:30 and didn't get out (except when I woke up desperately thirsty and a couple wake ups with DD) until after 7 this morning. I had a headache all day yesterday. I am doing Zofran 3x today (I didn't yesterday because I feel asleep), and trying my damnedest to overcome. If I can get through most of my prep work for Vegas trip today, I can take part of tomorrow off.

[peaseblossom55]

Also I have a friend's bbq this weekend and I always drink especially my friend's sangria so I'll have to fake drink at the bbq.

[diamondsndaisies]

I will be painting and working on the house all weekend. This is also the last weekend I have with DD before she goes to her dad's for the summer. I am seriously dreading it. I will get her every other weekend, but when I am used to only giving up every other weekend and having her all week long its going to suck. I have never been away from her this long before.

[silverspoon]

The coffee and the water at work tastes terrible. I'm trying to drink as much as possible without actually tasting. Aiming for straight down the back of my throat.

That would be so hard!  Have you told her about the baby yet or are you going to wait?

I had a moment in the parking lot at work today that I thought I was going to vomit all over the pavement.  It would have been classic, right in front of the parent drop off line.  I have a cold and it's causing me to gag, which reminds me I want to puke.  It's not a good combo.

Man, that sucks. I would see if they don't have enough fabric, if they could do the back under panel in a different color. You're the MOH so your dress being a little different isn't going to be a big deal. Hopefully it all works out.
anecdote, my sister(MOH) and bridesmaids wore the same dress, except my sister's bodice was black. The rest was Aqua. It turned out really cute.

I'm hoping something works out! I think it will be impossible for me to lose weight by the time of the wedding. Plus if I want to eat that day, I should get it taken out lol!

[Deleted]

Random symptom- I have chapped lips and keep putting on chapstick. The chapstick is making me even more nauseous, but my lips hurt! It's like the feeling of the chapstick is making me sick.

Yes we told her. There is no way I would be able to keep it from her.

@erin2021 Do not plan to lose any weight to make the dress fit. I remember picking up my dress for my sister's wedding and there was a girl in a wedding that weekend that had grown out of her dress. They were calling stores all over the state to see if someone had the size and color she needed in stock.

At least it's a bridesmaid dress. I remember the alterations for my wedding dress were nearly a third of the cost of the dress and I didn't have anything close to drastic done to it.

[silverspoon]

I think I'm good with my jeans for awhile. I may need a few more looser flowy tops. Good thing I already like those.

I'm just sad for my shorts and bikinis. We went on a beach vacation last year and I bought a bunch of new bikinis. A couple I only wore once. They may never again see the light of day. At least not in public.

[itsmeally]

Guys I don't know where to put this so I'm just putting it here...

Beta is 931, up from 585 two days ago! Doc is really hopeful, no more betas, but but ultrasound next Friday!!!
