Headaches have been killer and non stop for over a week now. BUT, I felt movement this weekend so that helps cope


Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO )
At home, I always go with ice cream. Out to dinner, I tend to pick some sort of fancy cake. At work, I may or may not have a box of cookies for my lunch dessert. And if there is chocolate pie, I always pick that, no matter where I am.

GTKY: While I'm not going to say fruit, I love fruit based desserts. Berry pie, any kind of cobbler, apple crisp. My only change from that is if I'm at a place that I know has an awesome tiramisu, or there is toasted almond ice cream. That trumps all.

Fruit in a pie or cobbler is a whole different thing and totally acceptable

How many weeks? 14 wks 3 days, hello second trimester!

Symptoms? I think I felt a flutter! I puked twice over the weekend. Been having headaches. The side of my butt hurt the other day....I think I slept wrong. Haha. Acne is horrible!!!

Upcoming Appts? Thursday, ob check in. Fluids tomorrow.

Rant/rave? I just bought some new maternity clothes. My jeans from last time are too big. I also have a belly now. The fluids are helping. I have gained back 8 lbs since New Years. Now, my weight gain can slooooow down! Haha


Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO )

I love chocolate and peanutbutter. So any ice cream, brownie, cheesecake, etc.

[ginabini]

How many weeks are you?
15+1


Symptoms?
Backne is out of control. Otherwise, seems to all be good things! I'm starting to understand what this second trimester energy thing is all about... which would be so much more useful if whatever is going on in my back/butt/hip area would calm the F down.


Upcoming appts?
Regular OB checkup on Feb 1st, then anatomy scan on the 15th!!


Rant/rave?
Sciatica, or whatever I have going on, can bite me.


Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? Give me all the chocolate!!!!

[lostinfaith225]

Ok, ginabini. I feel better hearing that someone else is having pain in the butt!

[cabbagecabbage]

How many weeks are you? 12+4

Symptoms? What I though we're returning symptoms on Friday was really a terrible cold with fever, congestion, and sore throat. I think it's on its last legs today. Other than that, sore boobs and heightened emotions. I cried so hard at that insurance commercial where the couple says, "we're never having kids," then "we're never moving to the suburbs," etc. I could cry now thinking of it!

Upcoming appts? not until February.

Rant/rave? My daughter and I have been sick since Friday and it's freezing cold out, so the cabin fever is hitting us hard.

Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? I love food too. I'm usually not too much of a sweets person but I've been more into sugar this pregnancy. My all time favorites are dark chocolate or salted caramel anything, brownies, ice cream, cheesecake, good cherry pie, caramels, fresh chocolate chip cookies. I love a small, rich, and intense dessert more than a big hunk of something sugary. But I'll still that boxed mix cupcake I'd it's offered.

Luckily it was just one day. But the chiropractor might help!

How many weeks are you? 13w 6d

Symptoms? Breathlessness!! Holy crap I cannot believe how easily I have been getting out of breath! Still some random headaches and heartburn but nothing terrible. And perma runny nose when I wake up every day.

Upcoming appts? I have my first ultrasound in 4 weeks and 3 days.....not that I'm counting or anything...

Rant/rave? DH and I made a cleaning calendar thing to help us stay on top of stuff while trying to sell the house which I am ridiculously excited about. I am also really excited to hear that some people are starting to feel flutters!! I cannot wait we also found out we might get posted to the west coast this summer which would be cool but then I'd be moving right after having the baby and the baby wouldn't grow up with his/her brothers/close to grandparents

GTKY: What is your favorite dessert food? All the desserts. But specifically, cheesecake, butter tarts, Hershey's cookies n cream bars, lemon meringue pie, raspberry pie... Yeah, just all the desserts.

[jenn83]

How many weeks are you? 14w4d - Is it bad that I had to look at one of my pregnancy apps to figure this out. Preggo brain is real y'all.

Symptoms? My back has been hurting me but it may be because I overdid it the last 4 days between work events, working events, a boat show, and a concert - can I go back to bed now.

Upcoming appts? Next Monday - can't wait to hear baby girl's heartbeat again!

Rant/rave? DH started setting up the nursery and wants to buy paint already lol.

Gtky: Crème Brulee all day everyday!!!

Still with the headaches. And my backne is flaring up. So glamorous.

I've had a pretty much constant headache since January 1st.  Previously I was able to eat or drink something and they would go away.  I was up in the middle of the night thinking about it and wondering if it might be an iron deficiency?  When I was anemic after giving birth to Jack my clue in was a constant headache.  I have bloodwork scheduled 2/8 but might mention it to my OB sooner.  I wonder if I could just go ahead and take extra iron?  Like can you have too much iron?

Rant/rave? My back. My back hates me. Now that I'm in second tri, I think I'm going to book a massage and hopefully that helps.

I was having major neck/upper back pain, like couldn't even lift my 20 lb kid, was using heat around the clock.  I got a massage and feel a million times better.   I can feel it creeping back now so I think I might need to get one once a month or so.

Oh my gosh, my boss works upstairs and every time I have to walk up to her office I have to like wait a minute or I can't even talk.  So embarrassing! 

[beebe918]

How many weeks are you? 16 weeks 2 days

Symptoms? Headaches, back pain, low energy

Upcoming appts? Not until 2/8 when I have my anatomy scan, bloodwork and a regular OB appt

Rant/rave? Not so much a rant or a rave but I was thinking about how different this pregnancy is then my last. Last pregnancy I was constantly reading about how big the baby was/what it was up to, now I'm all BTDT and can't even remember how pregnant I am.

Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO ) Cheesecake by far, but also pretzel salad but only when my mom makes it b/c she leaves out the jello or fruit.

[ellebelle]

How many weeks are you? 13w3d

Symptoms? Still have morning sickness but meds help keep it at bay.

Upcoming appts? Next appt. is at 16 weeks.

Rant/rave? None right now.

Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO ) I'm still so averse to food! It's horrible! But basically anything containing the chocolate + peanut butter combo works for me for dessert.

[tootsie]

How many weeks are you?
14w2d. Time seems to be flying by and I'm getting legitimately scared of having 2 children.

Symptoms?
I seem to have more energy, but most pregnancy symptoms are being eclipsed by a nasty cold that's hit our household. 

Upcoming appts?
Had one last week, next one is in Feb. 

Rant/rave?
I can handle this stupid cold, but I feel really bad for DD I wish I could've kept her home today, but work is nuts so it just isn't possible.

Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO )
Bread pudding, cheesecake, pumpkin pie, rice pudding, creme brulee... As long as there are no gd raisins in it, I'll probably eat it Not much of a fruit girl.

[katelou]

How many weeks are you? 12+5

Symptoms? Lots of pelvic stretching pain. I thought after the first one, things would be all stretched out and this wouldn't happen again. Guess not.

Rant/rave?

]Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO white cake with buttercream frosting.

How many weeks are you?

Symptoms?
Headaches (that only seem to hit on weekends, WTF)

Rant/rave?
In a rut right now. Just trying to stay positive. It seems every time I get close to an appointment, I get this Negative Nelly mentality that tells me everything is going to come crashing down. PgAL brain sucks. On the plus side, MH convinced me to jump Team Green ship so we called to find out baby's sex: it's a boy!

Gtky: Because I love talking about food: What is your favorite dessert food? (You do not have to limit this to one item but if you say fruit, please GTFO )

So, I've only had something called pretzel salad at my sister-in-law's and it was a pretzel/nut crust, cream layer, and a strawberry and jello layer. It was pretty good. If your mom skips the fruit and jello, is it just a pretzel crusted cheesecake bar? Or is it something else?
