I'm so tired. Doesn't help that caffeine makes me nauseous and that my entire house has been a cesspool for cooties on and off since Christmas.
The blump is unreal. And my nipples are in the permanent on position. Also did not miss swamp crotch.

LOL - sorry, but that is funny.

I haven't felt anything in the past few days. One on hand, it makes me a little nervous. On the other hand, I didn't have any symptoms with my previous pregnancies, except for a short period of nausea/constant hunger that didn't start until promptly at 6 weeks. So, there's still time.

[adouces06]

Also give me all the carbs. I cannot stop.

[macaronmama]

Getting more and more tired, missing my black tea.

It is, but it also hurts like hell.

I'd cut him

I'm not sure what is worse, the vomiting or the dry heaving. I want to eat all the things but nothing sounds good and why on earth does Daniel tiger have to eat soup all the time? I want his soup...bleh.

[macaronmama]

That's it - I made myself a light cup of black tea. I need some caffeine or I am going to pass out. Barely keeping myself cognizant in meetings.

+1 for swamp crotch! Rargh!!! My nips never recovered from breastfeeding (still milky here though i gave up BFing 8 months ago) so I just don't notice it anymore...

+1 for non recovered BF'ing nips. I weaned the week I got the positive test. I guess I'll be leaking for the next two years.

[lettricern]

Is anyone else enormously constipated? I've read that it's the progesterone, but hot damn.

[macaronmama]

lettricern, I was worried about that because I tend to get horribly constipated in general but turns out being pregnant has made me more regular than any diet or exercise I undertook before.

[piccyami]

lettricern, I was right after I started progesterone but now I'm far more regular than I was.

[macaronmama]

Anyone else getting sharp stabbing pains near their pelvic bone/hip? I keep telling myself it's just stretching pains, but damn it hurts.

I kind of am but it could be the pills I'm on for my UC. That's one of the big complaints side effect wise.

Right? I feel like my body is playing mind games with me. Or just games. It's like the million dollar question.

You can ask the audience (TCF boards), telephone a friend (AKA call the doctor) or get an answer eliminated (Dr. Google).

Some real TIM about to go down here. I have stacking effects from the UC and now this. My pills make me a tad constipated and gassy. The bean in me is making me bloated and gassy. Because of the UC farting isn't safe because there is a pretty solid chance it won't just be air and there will be some mucus/blood along with the large amounts of air. Therefore I'm having to hold it in unless I want to go to the bathroom just to release some gas. All I want to do is be able to fart safely. Lol

Oh man, ditto on the poor thing. Can the doctors help at all?

[league2b3]

I feel fine all day, other than absolute exhaustion, but when I get home the bloat starts and that turns into nausea by the evening. However, I'd much rather feel sick at night than at school with a room full of 7-8 year olds.

Short of a miracle and the UC going into remission not really. Unfortunately most women who have UC in remission BEFORE they get pregnant wind up in a flare in the first trimester anyway and possibly again after delivery. What this means for me because I was in one when we conceived I'll realistically have a flare for the whole pregnancy. All I can do it take the pills and use the suppositories once they get here and HOPE it goes into remission. I would say it's not as bad as it sounds but it kind of sucks. Luckily it's not very far progressed so it shouldn't become more than a mild flare.

I'm so sorry! Both are bad enough on their own, you are a warrior going through this! how long until your suppositories arrive? Keeping everything crossed that it goes into remission soon!

They should get here anywhere between the 17th and 2nd. I had to order them from Canada since my insurance only covered $60 worth leaving me with roughly $900 for a months worth. Big f*@k that. I got 3 months worth online for $300. The pills are a tad pricey but nowhere near that bad.

I'm early still so no symptoms. Hoping this pregnancy is as easy as last one. No food/smell aversions and only a few weeks of morning sickness.

I'm to early too. Last pregnancy was pretty horrible for me so I'm hoping for an easier time

[icedtea]

Too early for much, but the fatigue is ridiculous. I ran some errands, I didn't scale a damn mountain.
