Pregnancy brain. It just took me 15 minutes to remember the word stereotype.

As I ate pickles for dinner

Took me two hours to remember the word metaphor the other day. I got so frustrated at MrRama for not being able to thesaurus me.


...then I shouted it out, out of context when I did remember.

I'm getting waves of nausea, though I don't feel like I have to vomit. I didn't really get nauseous last time, so this is new.

Heartburn already.

I, um, have the opposite problem of constipation.🙈 ugh I don't know which is worse!

I told H today that the canned fruit was in the fridge. And put the can opener away in the wrong drawer. It was a rough half hour.

I'm now dry heaving and gagging on my own saliva.

I guess it's payback time. Apart from being fatigued, congested and the pee situation I had very little symptoms with DS and really loved being pregnant. This time around, I can't sleep, unbelievably hungry yet nauseated, bloated beyond recognition and just the last couple of days experiencing xerostomia...I am currently laying in bed with a progesterone suppository and praying I don't have gestational diabetes!!?? but yet I am eating a bowl of yogurt and peaches. Also anyone with super weird dreams? I had them with DS but all the ones I've been having somehow involved food and sex.

I was super nauseous with my DD's pregnancy and I seem to have mild nighttime nausea (I'm sure it'll get worse) and I swear I go to the bathroom once an hour.

I didn't see this posted but I have enough gas to fill a 18 wheeler. I literally have been farting all day long.... thank god I have bath and body room spray in my office!

I woke up with the most intense abdominal pain. I was dying. Then I farted a fart to shatter dimensions. Then I fell back asleep.

[thinkingofthree]

I'm reading into everything but feeling a bit of nausea everyday, constipated (DH & I celebrated that this morning as I wasn't with either of my losses - oh pregnancy things...), & while my boobs aren't sore yet, they're HUGE.

[cougarette]

My boobs don't seem as sore as a couple of weeks ago, but they do seem less deflated, lol.

[NariaDreaming]

Omg save me from this constipation. I'm DYING.

I already hate pooping in hotels when I'm sharing a room with a friend. This is a whole new level of hell. It feels like I have a brick in my colon

[bootsorhearts]

NariaDreaming try colace, make sure you get the kind without stimulants. It helped me a bit and it's one of the few things we can take, well, short of an enema and it has come to that before for me.

[bubblefan]

Breastfeeding is now a special sort of torture. I might be considering weaning my toddler to chocolate milk. Desperate over here.

[thatgirlrachel]

I feel nauseous and like I'm starving all at the same time. When that happens, I can usually only thing of one random ass food that I am in the mood for and nothing else will do. Me living in BFE is not conducive to this symptom.

[blackmamba]

I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep forever. This fatigue is no joke. Also, was reading some stupid list on Buzzfeed and it had a picture of the most disgusting food I've ever seen in my life. I won't speak of it. But it keeps popping into my mind and I can't stop gagging.

[rm2013]

I really only have 1 symptom right now and it's exhausting fatigue. I feel like a limp noodle. And my toddlers couldn't care less 😩

[bootsorhearts]

Anyone else itchy? I've been itchy non stop for a week. What's up with that

Same! Well...I have pretty decent access to food, but if a craving strikes after DD's bedtime I'm SOL (DH works nights). But yeah, I currently have like 3 things in my fridge that I just HAD to have at one point or another this week, and now just thinking of them has me feeling queasy.

[briarrose]

I have had 2 incidents of spotting. Pretty sure the first was implantation, so that was my first clue. I actually had spotting 2.5 days last week as well, which I then thought was my period, so I have been getting mind-f*cked these past two weeks.

I have also been tired and get dizzy more easily. Plus peeing a lot, which I kind of thought I was making up.

The first time around I knew I was pregnant when I wanted to eat the entire house, but this time around I have definitely been "meh, food, whatever" which is way weird for me anyways since I am a chef.

My symptoms are almost non existent today, which of course sends my PGAL (and triggers the fuck out of my PAIF ) brain into overdrive. Only time will tell, I suppose.

*hugs* Many of mine are gone or going, too. I was able to eat a whole 6oz steak without a blink last night. Plus sides.

That is way more food than I've had in two weeks. :/

Hmm, I could totally destroy a steak right now.

Sorry your symptoms are screwing with your head too, but I'm glad you were able to eat some good stuff.

We just have to hang on until our ultrasounds. Just a few more days.

[briarrose]

my pregnancy acne is getting itself started with a nice cystic pimple on my chin. I know it will only get worse until at least 2nd tri if things go the same as last time. pregnancy was not necessarily kind to my skin.

Personally that has got to be the worst symptom I think. Have you tried adding extra extra fiber in your diet? I was so paranoid with my first that I started putting flax meal in everything I could. Oatmeal, yogurt, meatloaf, meatballs, pancakes, pizza crusts, all my pastry and baked goods...see what I mean. I actually continue to do that and I know that helps my dad, he has issues. It'll at least provide added nutritional benefits and more gentle on your body. How about the old remedy of prune juice or prunes. I even packed a few prunes in my daily snack stash which reminds me I need to add it to my next grocery list to add to my snack stash. I hope you find relief soon. Seriously I would die if I missed a single day of BM.SaveSaveSaveSave

Not to freak you out or anything but if it's bad, you might want to call your OB. Severe itchiness is a sign of cholestasis. A GF of mine developed it during pregnancy. The joys of growing another human.SaveSave

Same here with being paranoid. There are days when I wake up feeling symptomless and can actually fit in my skinny jeans and think of the worst then a couple of hours later symptoms are back. Wishing awesome U/S for you both. Mine is this week and I am nervous as hell.SaveSaveSaveSave

Mine is *next* Tuesday, I need this week to go by superfast.

Good luck for yours this week!!

That stinks...I have terrible skin and deal with that on an ongoing basis so I know how you feel. Not to make you feel awful but the only time my skin is clear and smooth was when I was carrying DS which was what made me suspect about the possibility of actually being pregnant this time around LOL. SaveSave

[CoachTsWife]

The list is missing "sensitive nose". That is a thing, right? Because I can smell things a mile away, which is generally not true for me. At all.
