Symptoms Week of July 6-12

[kellybenelly83]

How we feeling ladies?

I started getting cramps if I walk too long. We walked 5km yesterday with the dogs and I had cramps by the end and sore back, but no spotting so that reassured me.

[becwheat]

Hey look there is the nausea!! AWESOME!

I am also getting minor headaches, but that is par for the course even when I am not pregnant.

[lemoncupcake]

Still experiencing all the things:
Exhaustion
Breast tenderness and nipple sensitivity
N & V - more good days than bad days, but the bad days are bad
Bloating
Weird circulation in my legs - if I lay still too long in a weird position, they get tingly

In good news, I'm sleeping better than I was before.

[lemoncupcake]

And the burping. Omg the burping.


All that I've had today so far is water and saltines. How am I burping this much?

[becwheat]

THE BURPING, lemoncupcake,!!

and I am peeing even more today than I have before!

[wicked22]

Hungry all the damn time.

[musicalsilver]

Definitely burping a lot too.

Mostly just still exhausted.

I've had a couple bouts with just feeling generally icky, but full blown MS hasn't reared it's ugly head quite yet. I'm transitioning from the eat all the things mentality to not feeling much like eating. But once I force myself to actually eat, it's all good. So weird.

[kelle017]

The nausea is still constant.

I'm still up every hour at night so I'm tired all the time.

Last week I started getting cramps/discomfort in my lower right stomach Area. It's not all the time but I'm pretty sure it's the uterus stretching because it feels like a pulled muscle.

Still hating food and nothing sounds good ever. I'm cooking meals for dd and h that I don't even touch.

[kelle017]

A typical night of sleep lately- although last night I went to bed waaay earlier than normal and only got an extra 30 minutes.

Not really having any MS and that is worrying me, although I seem to get a little bit of nausea when I get hungry, and I feel like I am hungry more frequently. I *think* those are new symptoms, but its so hard to tell! I only remember being hungry in my last (unsuccessful) pregnancy, so hopefully the little bit of nausea is actually new and is actually a good sign. DH thought my beta numbers were very high and started googling twin pregnancies with no MS, lol! It doesn't run in the family, and I tried explaining to him that my betas are well w/in range of a singleton pregnancy but...you know how it is with the Google :-)

Definitely have sore boobs, and I am peeing ALL THE TIME. Especially at night (3-4 times at night). SUPER frustrating b/c I have to turn the light on every time to look for blood. I wish I could just pee in the dark and be happy.

Worst symptom is exhaustion. I have been sleeping 12-15 hours a day. Can't keep my eyes open. So many naps! So many long nights! On Thursday, I went to take a quick nap at 8 pm before DH got home at 9ish PM, and woke up the next morning at 9ish AM! (with a few trips to the bathroom in between) DH thinks its great and is all and is suggesting I sleep/nap at all times. Had to be specifically woken up for fireworks on Sat b/c I fell asleep after dinner before it got dark!

[morwen]

Tired, sore boobs, picky eating with bouts of nausea. Not peeing as much but I also haven't been as good about drinking water.

Bloat - my lovely elderly coworker pulled me aside to ask me for the second time in 3 weeks if I'm pregnant. So I said no and sucked in the bloat to show her a flat stomach. My stomach muscles did not enjoy.

[followthesun]

Sorry for the TMI, but I pooped a glorious poop today and feel like I lost my "blump." Thank goodness! Still burping a lot, alternating starving and food aversion. Not much true nausea, and boobs are sore to varying degrees during the day.

[followthesun]

Also, just to continue my "staying regular PSA" post, the fiber+calcium gummies are a necessity. I couldn't stomach them for a few days, and I paid the price. Took them this morning and voila!

[lindseyp2012]

Hello all! I'm going to join in

Since the beginning I've been utterly exhausted. My productivity at work and home has dropped significantly so I'm looking forward to this rumored point in 2nd Tri when people reclaim some of that energy.

Nausea first started last week and comes and goes now. If I don't let myself get too hungry it stays manageable.

If this is as bad as it gets, I'll count this as an easy pregnancy **knock on wood**

[piperhalliwell]

The insane bloat/gas and terrible vivid dreams are the worst. Nausea still isn't too bad if I stay on track with snacking, though it still hits hard for an hour after dinner for no apparent reason.

I thought my nips were going to fall off they hurt so bad after two hours in the water this weekend. I guess they just got too cold and were tired of being shoved into a wet bathing suit so they revolted against me. A lesson I won't ever forget.

And forever hungry. I've eaten three times today and am dying for it to be lunch already.

[tkford216]

My monthly headache is here, right on time. I thought these would stop in pregnancy since my hormones shouldn't be following a monthly cycle anymore, but no such luck yet. Headache, dizzy, tired = not in the mood to be at work.

[virginiaorjohn]

I have taken a nap every day this past holiday weekend. And not a catnap - I'm taking the 3-hour-long "where the fuck am I?" naps.

I also had a dream last night that I had twins in there. Not a good night of sleep!

[krl52014]

Still exhausted, nausea gets bad if I don't eat every hour, sore boobs, headaches

[lazyreader]

Hungry every few hours. If I don't have a bite, I get nausea waves.
Exhausted. I think I'll munch on my lunch all day, and power nap for my lunch break.
And sex dreams. Holy Moley.

[SunnyinCA]

So queasy. It just started a couple days ago. Even my decaf coffee isn't tasting very good. So far I found yogurt and bagels don't turn me green (yet). Otherwise nothing else sounds good in the mornings.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Exhausted, nausea (but luckily the diclegis mostly keeps me from vomiting), and this morning I have a headache. Yesterday I had some lower back pain so bad I thought I may have a kidney stone. It's gone now so I'm thinking maybe RLP.

[kellybenelly83]

I was on vacation for a week and a half with daily naps. today is killing me now at work! I just want to snooze! Please someone come bring me a pillow and blanket?

[britterrss]

Holy nausea, Batman! Up until yesterday I had only had a few quick moments of nausea that passed within a few minutes, all in the afternoon/evening. Yesterday evening I gagged like 4 separate times and then felt really nauseated towards bedtime. I took 1/2 a Benadryl just because it was Sunday night and I wanted to get some sleep before the work week - it worked! No nausea yet today.

I have been burping like it's my job for the last week or so. Yuck.

How rude.

[trtlcrzy]

Tired, super bloated, nothing ever sounds good to eat. I also think I'm getting the pregnancy rhinitis that I had last pregnancy. It's awful and I hope not but if it is I will live with it. Half the time drinking water makes me feel a little nauseous. Things that I normally like to eat are starting to taste funny and I don't want to eat them.

[cassey910]

Very tired, nauseous off and on, and very gassy.

[trtlcrzy]

Oh and acne

So not looking forward to this symptom.  I hated the rhinitis ... I feel like that's one of the symptoms that nobody warns you about!

Mine started about a week and a half ago. It sucks. I agree, I was never warned about it either. It was really bad with DS.

I think I had 2 sinus infections last time, so hopefully I can bypass that.
