agm04, sorry for the bleeding scare.

This is where I confess DH and I haven't had sex since before my transfer on 9/27. We couldn't until our appt on 10/19 and now I'm still scared. We have another ultrasound on Friday so I told DH we need to do it this week so that if there is any bleeding the RE/ultrasound can tell us everything is okay. Poor DH Also, the Crinone doesn't make sex very appealing for either of us.

You are not alone. This is our life too. Poor H-he has been a good trooper!

[agm04]

Nurse told me yesterday when I called about the bleeding that I should avoid sex for now. I'm kind of excited that I have a Dr.'s note for that. Lol. I just do not feel sexy in any way, so I'm really not interested.

Headaches are awful this time. Nothing seems to help either. I'll be bringing it up to the nurse on Thursday.
Woke up feeling nauseous this morning. The last couple days of no nausea were good while they lasted.
No major food aversions (well leftover anything doesn't smell/ sound good). No cravings either, I never craved anything with my 1st pregnancy. Then again I never had MS or nausea either. Seems like this pregnancy is the exact opposite of the 1st.

I feel like I have the flu....exhausted, weak, nauseous, puking. Yesterday I threw up several times through out the day. Today I've managed to keep down half a bagel and some applesauce.

I'm really hoping this is actually some kind of stomach bug and this won't be my life. I never felt this awful when I was pregnant with DD.

I worry about this too, what if I'm walking around with the flu and making everyone sick

[teachermomtobe]

I felt almost normal for a few hours today and was almost concerned that symptoms disappeared but have no fear I feel like complete shit right now. I'm a pathetic mess on the couch and my H is trying so hard to make me feel better but it doesn't work that way.

[trebletrouble13]

My MS seems to be subsiding a little. I actually want to eat things now! Not leftovers, of course.

[marshian]

teachermomtobe - A few days I've felt relatively normal for a couple hours in the morning or middle of the day but then it always goes back to feeling horrible.

[punkybrewster]

teachermomtobe, I felt pretty good on Saturday and some of Sunday and I also was panicking that this meant something bad was happening. Luckily I had my ultrasound the next day and everything looked good. And also, I have felt awful ever since. Although I don't like feeling sick, it is very reassuring at the same time. I haven't felt absolutely horrible though at all. I haven't thrown up. Just low-moderate level nausea all day long.

Add me to the no sex since conception list. With my constant feeling of nausea, I'm not sure how soon it will happen again.

Exhaustation has kicked in this way. I am going to sleep by 8:30/9 every night and sleeping until 6:30 and still feel so tired allllllll day. I wish I could nap.

So much this! The Unisom at night is only making it worse, or so I assume. I could easily sleep 12 hours if allowed I am sure.

YES to this.  The last 2 days, I've put my head on my desk and slept for a few minutes in the late afternoon.  I can't help it.

+2. I wake up still tired, get a little energy midday, but then I've been taking a nap most afternoons the past week. 

[punkybrewster]

Same to all the above, I am sooo exhausted, no matter how much sleep I get. I go home right after work and lie down for a little bit and then am dragging myself to bed by 9pm. I must be getting on average 10-11 hours of sleep every day between actually sleeping and naps. I think the exhaustion is harder to deal with than the nausea at this point. I feel nauseous all day long, but the exhaustion is just making it nearly impossible to function.

[teachermomtobe]

So much bloat today. Sorry I just drop in daily to whine about the newest symptom.

Yah, I agree, I'm not really sure how to function as an employee right now

I am definitely not the best teacher right now. I sit at my desk much more than I ever have and just pray my principal doesn't come in or that my kids don't go home and say how much I sit. They're 3rd graders so they are probably oblivious.

+1 sooo much bloat today! My normal loose fitting jeans were in the wash when my mom texted and asked me to go with to the hospital to see my new nephew so I ended up throwing on a pair of maternity jeans. They're so comfy but I don't enjoy pulling them up or pulling down my shirt so no one could see the band. (We still haven't told anyone.)

[wineoclock]

Thank you ladies for all of the no sex since conception confessions, ya'll make me feel normal. I asked at our ultrasound last Friday about sex but the dr said we are on restriction until my next appt on 11/10. No sex for us. I'm too damn tired anyway.

[cheezee]

no sex here either! Nearly 18 months of TTC and I'm riding this wave as long as I can!!

[lindsay]

Just had a disgusting round of throwing up in my sink. All because of trying to take my progesterone pill and gagging on it. Yuck.

[starsandshamrocks123]

sabrinaml maybe this is more of a FFFC but it's been 2.5 years and I never took my maternity pants out of rotation because they are comfy and zipper less and magical

[agm04]

starsandshamrocks123 no shame! maternity pants are where it's at.

spending time with DD after work is my favorite part of the day, but lately when i think about going home from work and her needing my attention WHILE i cook dinner makes me want to cry. DH usually gets home just in time for dinner, if he's even home before she goes to bed, and a couple times i have called him in tears and begged him to come home early. it makes me feel like such a shit mom.

and finally, i'm 7 weeks today, and i woke up feeling like death. not sure if i am sick or if the pregnancy symptoms are finally showing up.

[lulu783]

agm04, I can sympathize with you. Literally the hours of 5-8pm are the worst. After working all day and battling traffic home, the thought of the dinner/bath/bed routine just empties my tank. I'm usually asleep 30 minutes after my 20 month old. Poor H, we are like ships passing in the night.

[agm04]

lulu783 i feel the same way! there's just not time for quality time with DH right now. and on top of the rest, i'm studying for a huge test before work in the mornings and after DD goes to bed when i can keep my eyes open. one day we WILL have time again!

I've been wearing mine on the weekends so far, but I'm about ready to break out the work pants.  I hate the way a normal waistband feels on my stomach. 

[agm04]

i thought of something else. i went to the bathroom before crawling in bed around 9:15 last night. by 10 i had gotten up twice to pee. and again at midnight. i'm not allowed to drink liquids after 6pm anymore.

my sister still has all my maternity clothes (even though her youngest is a year old now), and i can't get them back from her until DH and i have agreed to tell people about the pregnancy. she already knows, but he doesn't know that. lol.

[lindsay]

Lol agm04! When are you all going to tell?

[lindsay]

I'm getting up to pee a lot too. And most of the time there's barely any pee... Wth
