Wednesday Symptom Spotting

[cnf2013]

Oh my goodness, hello feeling like shit, there you are. 

I was freaking starving all day yesterday and I tried to combat it by grazing all day and eating my whole lunch in between. But I just felt like I was soooo hungry still when I got home, so I ate a crap load of junk food knowing it would fill me up. And now I am paying dearly for it. I was feeling super sick to my stomach all evening and night, which caused me to toss and turn and not sleep all night. Today I'm still feeling pretty sick, tired, and have a wicked headache. I'm so bloated, even in my face. It's gross and I look and feel gross. If my kids didn't have to take some bullshit common core tests this week and next week I'd be tempted to call in, but I really can't.

Yesterday I was just hungry and tired a lllll day. This morning bring on the sore boobies, still super tired, and more waves of nausea. I feel the list is going to start getting longer here in the near future. I hope you ladies can find something the help!

Okay. These crazy dreams are out of control. I don't feel like I'm getting any sleep. Last night I dreamt I was helping my ex boyfriend interpret his new wife's beta results. For hours and hours. Seriously brain? Other than that, I feel okay. Just a little tired. Probably because of the stupid dreams.

[threetaboos]

Vivid dreams last night when I finally slept. I had tons of cramping last night and was nauseous. This morning there's nothing but I've only been up for a half hour.

[mrssqueegy]

Can't sleep. Up again so early. And I'm so tired. Why can't I sleep?

[physiomeg]

I cannot sleep past 530 for the life of me...and the dreams are seriously making me laugh:

I was supposed to be in a college production of phantom of the opera, but before I went on I realized that I had to use the bathroom and was sitting on the toilet, constipated, while people were yelling that it was my cue to go on. Fun stuff.

Next dream, a coworker of mine who I don't particularly like much accidentally announced she was pregnant and was due right around the same time as me. I was irrationally angry because she was "stealing my thunder." Apparently dream-Me is a judgey bitch.

I did not sleep well last night. I was so warm and my cats were naughty. Ugh.

Symptoms- just have to pee a lot and my boobs are full. Some nausea, but only after I eat it seems.

[NatalieDavid]

Still just feeling super tired so I've been going to sleep so early. Today I feel so bloated (I hate you jeans!) and last night my dinner was so blah and unsatisfying.

[RoLoMa]

I am all over the crazy dreams train. This morning I had a dream that we went for our first ultrasound and the tech showed us that there were FOUR fucking babies in there. I burst into tears and kept repeating that there was no way I could take care of four. Then she laughed and said she was wrong and there were only two. My co-worker just had twins so I am sure that influenced my dream but damn...I could literally feel the panic of thinking I was going to have to raise quads.

Other than the crazy dreams just dealing with the boobs for another day. BUT I did poop this morning, and let me tell you, it was glorious. I still feel rather bloated but it might be thanks to the 2 pounds of mashed potatoes I had with my dinner.

[junebug627]

I'm pretty tired and irratible...trying to train a new puppy right now is quite the challenge.

My back was really hurting last night, I didnt even want to give DD a bath (don't worry, I did). I think I was asleep by 930pm lol And the cramping...I woke up cramping even. I hate cramping, not just bc it sucks but bc it worries me.

I'm still peeing on sticks...4w6d in and still peeing on things.

[BeachBum678]

Can't sleep, can't poop, crazy dreams, some mild nausea, mouth tastes like I've been sucking on a bag on nickels. Oh, and this morning I woke up with a sore throat--which I'm pretty sure isn't a pregnancy symptom, but it IS a pain in the ass. Grrr...

[anonymouseliza]

Well, just when symptoms leave me thinking, "Shit. Is this turning out to be an early miscarriage?" something happens. Thanks, Body!

This morning I woke up feeling pretty normal. Today is officially missed period day, so I'm feeling a bit on edge when I wake up and feel only very mild cramping and heavy, but not really sore boobs. Fortunately I started dry heaving in the car on the way to work, so I'm not super concerned.

Yay, morning sickness?

[Shellsncheese]

I had a tiny bit of brown spotting last night which freaked me out a little. I took my temp this morning to make sure it was still high since I don't have any more pregnancy tests.

I'm not having a lot of symptoms, besides a dry mouth and occasionally starving even after eating. Any other symptoms like back pain and exhaustion are normal for me. I guess I should be thankful I'm not feeling nauseous!

[suzyq0525]

So. Hungry. Can't. Stop. Eating.

[byjove]

Exhaustion, nausea, cramping. All the fun

That was me the last couple days. It is slowing down a little bit but now much! Give me all the food! I am just gonna go with it and eat and eat since I have a feeling the morning sickness is coming soon.

[suzyq0525]

negirl824, I'm trying to enjoy eating now too lol. The last time I was pregnant I had really bad morning sickness until I was about 24 weeks. I'm hoping it's not like that again.

[mamomma5]

Really ad sciatic pain! Bad sleep last night.

[byjove]

Anyone else feel really weak if they stand or are moving around for more than a few minutes?

Not today, but that is what happened to me yesterday. I had to sit down in the shower because I had no energy. 

[negirl824]

mamomma5, I have a disc that gave me problems and acts up from time to time and causes the sciatic pain. I am lucky is hasn't been at its worse. It was during most of my FW thats why I'm surprised I'm here.

suzyq0525, I hope it doesn't last that long for you again. I had it bad as well, I basically threw up morning and night. I was lucky enough it didn't last that long.

byjove, no experience with that, just too tired to stand too long.

By the end of the day, yes, but not normally.

[anonymouseliza]

I do not have dry mouth. I feel like I'm constantly swallowing saliva - more than usual anyway. But that may be a result of the nausea. Right at this moment, I feel normal. But I just spent an hour swallowing back breakfast. So. Yeah.

I'm very tired. But I went to bed late, so. What bugs a little is fatigued I feel, like I could put my head down and nap so easily. It makes me feel less present mentally.

[leahks77]

byjove, are you still having trouble keeping anything down? That could make you super weak I'm sorry!

Actually by some miracle, the last couple of days I've actually been keeping food down pretty well. The nausea is still there (and gagging and dry heaving in the morning), but with meds and if I sit really still, the days are manageable! I don't if it is a fluke or if I am over the hump for this pregnancy, but I'll take it

yes! zumba was a chore last night, I need to start bringing 2 water bottles. 


we had our first "confirm pregnancy set due date" appointment this morning...officially pregnant with a due date of December 7th (originally they were trying to tell me Nov. 18th). we're headed back for our next "group education" appointment next week...not 100% sure what this entails...first solo appointment is May 4th.

I'm getting super nauseous in the car. Thank goodness my commute is only 25 minutes. By the end of it I feel like I'm dying. 

[leahks77]

I forgot that I shouldn't grocery shop while pregnant. Ever. I bought: a pineapple, a mini watermelon, a mango, 3 kiwis, 2 grapefruits, red grapes, and bananas. Also lettuce, asparagus, baby carrots, a yellow pepper, an orange pepper, cucumber, and broccoli. I have a produce problem. Oh, and a marshmallow egg. I hope SO wants fruit for dinner?

[negirl824]

cnf2013, anonymouseliza, My commute is 55 mins, I am so dreading it when MS sets in. I am also with DD so she will get to witness any dry heaving/throwing up. I need to go to the dollar store and pick up a just in case bucket I think haha.

My mom was telling me that she used to get so car sick when pregnant that she would pull over to vomit and have to call my dad to come get her off the side of the road. I am praying that is not me in the next few weeks. Getting queasy is enough, please body.
