Week of 7/18 - Symptoms

[LadyNymeria]

I need to start my day with coffee so I've still been having a cup in the morning (literally, I'm using a 1-cup measuring cup to measure how much I put in my mug), but I think it's what's causing my heartburn the past couple mornings.

Coffee has never given me heartburn, until this week apparently. I don't want to give it up but I don't want the heartburn. Dilemma.

Since having kids, I need heartburn medicine. I was taking omeprazole twice a week before getting KU, now I need it every day again It will most likely only get worse the farther along you get, unfortunately. You might want to think about taking something if your doc recommends. I went on Rx omeprazole only because it's cheaper through my insurance, but it's over the counter too.

It's not too bad so far, it's just annoying since it never happened before this week.

Apparently I crave pizza and salad. All the time.

Last time I craved fries and salad. Apparently my mom did when she was pregnant too! At least you're keeping it well balanced, right?!

Add me to the salad craving club... Although, if I'm being honest, I think I'm really craving the ranch dressing.

this happened to me all the time with my last pregnancy! Except... I wasn't actually having sex. I'd be like... sitting on the couch and then I'd wake up O-ing.  It was ridiculous and really weird.  Apparently its normal in pregnancy b/c of all the hormones. 

Haha! Mine are all desperately trying to find the O during the dream... Also,

Almost all of them have been with women.

ETA: ^ That may be due to the fact that I've been marathoning OITNB before bed, though.... lol

OMG, I had my first "O" dream this pregnancy last night so I guess I can thank you for putting the thought in my head with this thread?? LOL. !! I'm taking it as a good sign re: hormones being crazy.

Tired, but otherwise okay.
Any new symptoms popping up this week?
Nope, especially since I just found out this week lol

None yet. Last time I couldn't drink coffee from this point on but this time coffee is fine which I'm happy about

How far along are you?

GTKY: Any weird dreams that you remember yet? Share one if you've got it.
I had a weird dream last night, but I don't really remember it.

Slight TMI-ish

I've had some dark brown spotting off and on all afternoon. I know since it's dark and not a lot with no pain or cramping it's not something to worry about right now, but it's still freaking me out.

I did call my drs office to let them know and they're the ones that told me all that above, but I hope it goes away fast!

It's as if baby is trying to reassure me. This morning is the first morning I have not felt well at all. Haven't gotten sick but oh boy am I nauseated.

Fx everything is ok! Hopefully being nauseous is a good sign!

[cinnamonsmiles]

Oh man this nausea is horrific. Way worse than with DS. Going to buy some Sea Bands and Preggie Pops today to see if that helps, because parenting is not going to work if I have to lie around all day.

Apparently DS thinks it's hilarious to watch me dry-heave over the toilet though :/

[rachelilly23]

This describes my life right now: sleep, wanting to barf, sleep, wanting to eat a horse, ice cream, zits, and more sleep.

[katespade]

Someone offered to get me a breakfast sandwich for my birthday today.

I politely declined and in my head was like "NO NO NO NOT EGGS."

[queenofjacks]

Someone reassure me that mild cramping is normal at this point. No discharge but I've been cramping on and off for a week. This morning I took DD for a long walk and it was hotter out then I thought, I started cramping a little more and now that I'm home they've continued. All normal right?

Spotting is always so scary. I hope you get some reassurance from your doctor!

[peachesncream]

Oops reading fail. You already talked to your doctor. Well FX it goes away soon LadyNymeria!

Discomfort is normal, sharp pain is not. Pain and bleeding together warrant investigation but not panic.

If it would help to have an explanation for the symptom, I think the cramping is due to either a newly-expanding ute or the muscles the that general vicinity relaxing due to hormones (do I mean round ligament pain? Brain is mush today) so being uncomfortable is perfectly normal. I get crampy when I walk places too and it lasts a little while resting. 

Thank you! That helps. It isn't sharp pain, just discomfort. And it is slowly subsiding with rest :-)

I'm mobile so I can't see your ticker/siggy but I had a TON of cramping from 4 to 6 weeks. Totally normal even if it is terrifying.

[readinglove]

LadyNymeria While I'm not glad you're not feeling well, I'm glad the nausea kicked in. I hope all is well, and have FX for you!

Mild cramping is normal (and even severe cramping can be normal too, but should get checked out). With my first, I had a lot of pain on my right side, accompanied by brown spotting. My doc checked me out and said it was probably just the uterus expanding. I don't seem to be having it (yet) this time around, so I'm guessing my body's all like "we got this". It is completely normal, and if it subsides with rest, I wouldn't worry about it.

So last night I had an epically horrible migraine, one of the worst I've had in years. I didn't know what to do, besides Tylenol which didn't super help. So I did hot water on the head and took a bath (which helped a lot) but I am so paranoid about the tub, I haven't taken a bath since I got my BFP. So I kept taking my temp to make sure it wasn't going too high, and then while the thermometer was in my mouth I started to throw up a little, so I had to clammer out of the bath. I didn't really throw up tho in the end. It was so awful, but also kind of hilarious. H took good care of me though, and I feel much better today

I feel your pain with the migraines! Glad your H took good care of you and that you're feeling better!

Migraines suck. Glad H took good care of you. Hope you're feeling better.

I've discovered if I eat every 90 min my nasaeu is so much better. Also I can eat no sugar. None. If I have sugar it's awful. Like I want to die with the sugar crash. This happened to me last pg also. It's like the worst hyperglycemia ever. My sugar tests come back better pg than they do not pg.

I almost ralphed at the dinner table last night when we went out for my birthday dinner.

Onion rings sounded amazing when we ordered them. Not good when I ate one.

[LadyNymeria]

Fucking spotting again. No pain or cramps so I'm telling myself it's NBD but it's really freaking me out. Definitely calling my dr's office again first thing Monday. If I bug them enough maybe they'll just bring me in for an ultrasound just to check things out.

Really hoping the spotting goes away for you. ((Hugs))
