Share it with the class.

AFM, this whole weekend was full of sipping Gatorade and sleeping mixed with intermittent periods of running to the bathroom just to stand there and not throw up. I wonder if I got sick if I would fee relief or worse.

[morwen]

Starving but nothing sounds good, then When I find something I can eat (hello dry Cheerios) I can't get full. Now I'm all OMG I'm not eating enough for the baby. Which I realize probably isn't true.

Also I'm almost 11 weeks, nausea, it's been fun but can you please tone it down already?

[kellybenelly83]

I took two naps yesterday, and was still in bed by 8:45pm last night.

[becwheat]

Tired, I feel just generally crappy. My ute is tender, I am nauseated (though I never puke), the only cure for feeling sick is eating.. all day... then I feel gross for eating too much.

Is it the second trimester yet?

[lemoncupcake]

Still experiencing nausea - hoping that in the next few weeks it goes away! I'm having more good days than bad days, which I'm thankful for.

I'm also seeing increased sex drive, which is somehow also occurring while I'm not feeling well. Weird.

I don't know if it's really cravings, but usually only one or two things sound good to eat at any time. Outside of those things, everything else sounds disgusting.

[morwen]

Oh and yesterday my hip and thigh muscles also started hurting. Not sure if it's from how I slept or pregnancy or something else but it's not my favourite.

[tkford216]

Holy boob ouch.

Holy stomach ick.

That is all.

My boobs are still killing me, too. I bought some sleeping bras from Motherhood Maternity that definitely help at night so they're not flopping all over the place.

I was a complete sloth this weekend and it was wonderful. Back to being upright today and the nausea is back. I thought I had this thing figured out and that I could stave off the nausea with constant munching on cheerios and animal crackers, but it's not helping today at all, I just want to go back to bed.

In other news an adorable H trait that will quickly turn in to a pet peeve: when he finds me kneeling in front of the toilet he asks "can I help?" (Meaning can he get me anything). No, dear, you cannot assist with the vomiting. I got this.

I used to sleep bra-less, but I have found wearing a sports bra to bed cuts down on the night pains.

Hello all! Happy Monday...

I'm sorry some of you aren't feeling well Take care of yourselves!!!

Minor fatigue is still sticking around, but slowly going away it seems. A new one is this back pain. My lower back on the left side has a very sharp pain when my left leg moves forward while walking, and in some positions laying down. Not fun. Its not radiating down my leg, which I guess is good, but if back pain is starting so early (I'm only 9w3d) I may be in for a treat later. I'm going to talk to my OB about the possibility of chiropractic care when I see her on Saturday. Maybe some prenatal yoga can help too. Anybody have any suggestions for a first-timer?

I've had the same pain off and on, but it's my right leg. I'm thinking its my sciatic nerve from the uterus growing back before it grows up/out. Stretching really helps! 

[NellieOleson]

Dude. I am so freaking exhausted. Part of it is being pregnant, and part is dealing with a teething (I think??!!) toddler. She was up at 4 am today and still hasn't gone back to sleep. I have cried about it several times.

I'm starting to get nervous about how I'm going to deal with newborn sleep deprivation AND a 22 month old. WTF am I getting myself into?! Eek!

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I don't know if I'm so tired because pregnancy or because of the crazy allergies. But I seem to need at least 12 hours a night, plus a long nap during the day. Thank goodness DD still naps in the afternoons.

I also still have lots of nausea. The diclegis keeps me from throwing up for the most part at least.

[piperhalliwell]

Evening nausea, boob pain, and omg the pimples. I feel like I've gone back in time to my worst middle school nightmares. It wouldn't be as bad if it was just my face, but these neck/chest/back zits are driving me crazy!!!

[trtlcrzy]

I am currently nauseous from post nasal drip. Eating lunch made it a little better, but not much. I have a headache as well. I'm breaking out quite a bit and soooo bloated.

[musicalsilver]

Still just so so so tired.

We learned over the weekend that DS apparently has dropped naps ... I'm so not ready for that. I hope it's just a temporary phase. I really need my naps when he naps.

[hham10]

Only symptoms are I am always hungry and tend to get light headed if I get really hungry. I have been having occasional headaches as well. Other than that feeling good.

[EatsRitz]

I want to nap so bad.

[krl52014]

I really wish I could poop! Wth? Is it the Diclegis or the pregnancy?

I think I'd slap DH! Make sure you do the same when he is sick with the flu or something

I'm sorry, that sounds rough! I'm also nervous about having a 21 month old and a newborn. Ahhh!!!

The diclegis helps me function but I definitely feel yucky all the time still.

DD is napping and I'm trying to poop instead of enjoying a nap

[britterrss]

Dear god y'all. I woke up at 3:30 with nausea AND diarrhea. Which I dealt with. Got up at 7 for work, got to work, went out to talk to patients when I got an aura. My vision went all kaleidoscope-y and I felt lightheaded. That passed after 10-15 minutes then I got a massive migraine on the right side. I had to leave work after being there not an hour and a half. I took one extra strength Tylenol and napped with a cold rag over my face and now I feel at least 75% better. Gah! I haven't had a migraine in like 8-9 years. I called my OB and they were like, "oh yeah, if you get migraines with auras, pregnancy can bring those out sometimes."

-_- NOOOOOO

[lindseyp2012]

Has anybody started to show yet?

It may just be a fat day, but for the life of me I think I actually look a tad pregnant today. I consulted my husband and he agrees. I can't suck it in. Obviously I'm not "out" at work yet since I'm only 9w3d so I may have to start rethinking my wardrobe. But who knows, it could very well be gone tomorrow.
