TGIF Symptoms

[negirl824]

What are your symptoms today?

[negirl824]

Sore boobies, hungry! and a few cramps here and there. Last night I was feeling a little sick. My last pregnancy it started at night before the morning.

I just went through my pregnancy journal from last time, the throwing up started at 5 weeks. I had it bad last time. I am hoping this time it isn't as extreme. I was throwing up in the morning and at night. I couldn't eat or drink. I ended up on zofran... life saver!

[cnf2013]

Eh, about the same. Can't breath, crampy, my boobs hurt. It'd be nice if this was the worst of it because I feel pretty decent most of the time. I'm finding myself being more tired during the day too. Guess we'll see what the next few weeks bring. I'm getting at eating more frequently but I'm still not really having an appetite, just feeling more hungry more often so I'm forgetting less.

[13liza]

I'm feeling good today, but I also haven't actually gotten out of bed yet. I'm definitely hungry, but can't really decide what I want.

negirl824, hope you don't feel so sick this time around!

[physiomeg]

Just lack of appetite and lots of zing and pep in my ute yesterday. Super bloated too. So far so good, honestly!

[meredithcarole]

My back has been killing me for days now (I am not sure if it is from heavy yard work last week, things going on in my ute, or a combination); on and off mild nausea which seems cured by eating, but then shows up again almost immediately; boobs are sore if touched, but not otherwise; peeing a lot; waking up in the middle of the night (to pee) and not being able to fall back asleep; headaches; and I'm tired.

[LanE]

My boobs feel like they are weighted down with lead,  they have not gone back to pre-pregnancy size (34 B) from my first, currently I am a 38 D.  I can only imagine how big they are going to get this time . 

I also have a super sniffer, I can put all the bloodhound out of work,.  So far nothing is off-putting but I can distinguish every subtle scent.  

 

[tkford216]

Always hungry (even while eating!) And peeing more than usual. Still some bloat. Tired.. I went to bed at 930 last night. And yet I was so restless in the early am hours.

[RoLoMa]

Still peeing all of the time. I spend more time in the bathroom than anywhere else. My boobs continue to hurt like crazy but I think my sinus stuff is actually over so I am celebrating breathing again. Sorry, cnf2013, I hope yours goes away soon!

I woke up at 4:30am with the worst gas pains. They went away about 15 minutes later but man did that 15 minutes suck.

[byjove]

More of the same. Increase in peeing. The puking has officially started. Hello old friend. Zofran is helping a little.

negirl824, I hope it stays away for you!!!!!

[negirl824]

byjove, sorry to hear the throwing up has started

Any thoughts on us doing weekly symptoms threads? Copying off N15 they post the dates in the title and use that for the week.

Doing it everyday just seems like us posting the same information everyday. Curious about other opinions bc I could very well be in the minority here.

I think a weekly thread would be fine, my only concern is that as more and more people join us, they will get much longer. Then we may start seeing separate "OMG I'M THROWING UP" posts and they'll say it's because the symptom thread is too long to read. Then we'll have to explain that there is no need to read the thread in its entirety. Rinse and repeat.

Great point!! I didn't even consider that. Daily sounds like a much better idea now!

Maybe something to think about farther down the road then, once our group is a little more established. 

[NatalieDavid]

No symptoms besides going to bed super early last night. I bought some ginger candies online to prepare for potential morning sickness. I have a very queasy stomach so hopefully I've learned to master being nauseous and I won't be effected by morning sickness much. <wishful thinking!

I agree, most likely as we get further down the road switching to weekly will be better. Girls due towards the end of the month likely haven't even O'd yet. They'll have some catching up to do

I was at the tail end of the BMB last time. In some ways it's really hard to be so far behind everyone.

[byjove]

And ps- I promise not to complain about the puking everyday. This has just been a reminder of the tough haul I had for a while with DD. I have a lot of guilt about it. Struggling.

From my other BMB- I posted this am:
I promise I won't continually whine about this, but the puking has officially started and I am scared. Yesterday I had nausea so bad, when it hit I almost fell out of my chair. How am I going to get enough liquid and calories in to keep healthy and nurse Clara? How am I going to be a good mom if I am couch ridden for the next month? One day at a time, I know. I want so hard for it not to be like last time. I can't be the sad panda like I was last time for my family. I don't want to traumatize Clara with all my puking (she was a little freaked out this am and kept yelling yuck).

I was also asked to travel for an overnight trip at in a few weeks which would put me at where it was the worst with DD. I am afraid, but it would also be an amazing milestone for my career. Like I will be going to be the expert "witness" if you will, which is usually what my boss does. He knows I am pregnant- the opportunity came up for me to tell him and I wanted to alert him if the MS became an issue again (he was so incredibly understanding last time). He would likely go if I can't. It's his boss that asked me to go. Le sigh. SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP.

[cnf2013]

RoLoMa, my sinus issue is better. I can at least get myself to being able to breath for bits of time and make it through the night. The first few days after I turned a test it was so relentless I was in tears. I'm at a functional level now, so I'm hoping it will go away completely at some point.

[RoLoMa]

I don't have anything constructive to say other than I am on board with whatever everyone else wants to do.

I do have to say that I am thankful to fall at the beginning of the month rather than the end. I think it would be hard since there is such a difference in symptoms, stages, appointments, etc. from that first week to that last. I would be super jealous to see everyone get through the first ultrasounds and such while waiting around like we all are right now.

[byjove]

mistabinx, I totally didn't take that way, no worries. I just feel like a downer/broken record at some point

[kfran84]

OMG I forgot about this, but the horrible pregnancy nightmares have begun. The past three nights, I have had terrible dreams... not gory, but like something awful was happening to my family. They are so long and detailed it's nuts.

Like, sometimes in a dream and you're on tour with Mariah Carey and your 3rd grade teacher walks in to you and Mariah's dressing room with a birthday cake and you're like "Okay, this is weird, but whateva!" but these dreams had nothing weird about them. Everything was totally logical and believable, but horrible.

Hope these don't last long because they're stressing me out.

[kfran84]

mistabinx, I might have missed it but is your 2nd beta happening today or tomorrow?

[tina515]

I can smell EVERYTHING and it's super weird. Nothing is making me sick, though. Yet. I got a little nauseous last night eating broccoli, but that's it. I'm having small pains in my ute, but not exactly like cramps. Other than that, I'm normal.

BTW - I can't figure out how put a ticker in my siggy. I'm using the HTML code from the site, but maybe these boards require different formatting? Any help would be much appreciated.

Use the image format and do the [ img ] [ / img ] brackets around it (no spaces).

The dreams! Mine started last night with DH giving birth... WTF! haha I woke up and told him he gave birth last night, he looked at me a little funny.

[tkford216]

I'm suddenly very aware of how much I'm peeing since I'm the only staff person in the office to answer phones today. When I need to take a pee break, I have to tell one of the attorneys (i.e., my bosses) so they can listen for the phones. Since I'm naturally going to wait quite a while before telling them I'm pregnant, I don't want to be running to the bathroom constantly (they already have their suspicions I think, though from where, I'm not sure - in my annual review earlier this week, they kept asking if there was "anything else I think they should know about").

Oh, my bladder!

[manderslvt]

I had several days where I felt pretty good, but this morning I woke up with a very angry belly. I'm crampy, nauseous, and super tired. I'd love to take a nap, but my toddler has other ideas about how our day should go!

I've had a few upsetting dreams too, but they tend to be more about me being a bad parent than actual harm coming to my family. I wake up feeling terrible for my kid!

[cnf2013]

I know I'll end up having nightmares. I got them for months before our wedding and I get them all the time before big races. I expect this to be no different.

I'm also grateful to be at the beginning of the month. There will be a decent time gap between us and the people who don't show up for a few more weeks. It would tough to come into an established community like this, with people at different stages. But I hope we get lots more people here at D15, both because I want everyone to get BFPs and so we have a nice, busy board.

[southernredandwhite]

Baby is tugging on my left side and still having the burning cramps. I hope this means he/she is growing healthy and strong & letting me know of its presence I think my sense of smell is getting a bit more heightened - nothing smells bad, but I put on 2 sprays of perfume yesterday like I usually do & it was SO strong.

[RoLoMa]

cnf2013 and mistabinx, I hope what I said earlier didn't come across like I wasn't looking forward to the ladies coming later. I can't wait for this board to be filled with more fun ladies! The more the merrier. (pun was not intended but it stays because, puns.)
