Pregnancy Symptoms - Let's Commiserate

[Smurfette]

Thought I'd start a "complaint" thread for all of the pregnant OWers.

Right now at 8 weeks my chief complaint is ligament pain. I can't shift my body too quickly otherwise I get a stabbing pain shooting thru my groin.

My uterus is also stretching and it's achy. Rubbing my lower belly, right above the pubic bone seems to relieve some of the ache as well as putting a warm towel on it. I also can't get over that "full" feeling at the bottom. It's very uncomfortable.

Being back home is a relief but suddenly I'm depressed again. It's like being in this house reminds me that I'm going to have 5 kids and I feel overwhelmed. Hopefully it's hormones. :crossfingers:

Oh and the toothache is back after being on vacation for 2 weeks. Go figure. :heart:

[Ninedays9]

Well... I need to start getting in the habit of eating something in the middle of the night because I've now had about 4 incidences of waking up and throwing up right away. Usually that makes it better enough that I can take a Zofran and eat... but today I still feel awful afterwards. Yuck.

And I've had bad headaches, heartburn, gas... nearly all the symptoms. The other night, we went and bought a bunch of stuff from my safe medications list, so I've got something for every symptom.

.

[Smurfette]

Of course! How could I forget about my headaches? What the heck
man? What is with these headaches. It's always ONLY in the AM when
I wake up. I'm anemic so I definitely need to stay on top of my iron
intake but headaches in the AM is a lack of oxygen. Usually the ache
disappears by the time I'm showering 20 minutes later.

I think I'll follow your lead and maybe have a filling snack before bed.

Call me crazy BUT... I could've sworn I felt little stirrings in my womb.
Nothing at all like kicking or pronounced movement but it reminded me
of a soft twitch. It might be the muscles stretching again. :shrug:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I wanna get in on this!

I'm with you on the full feeling. Whenever I lay down flat it is soooo uncomfortable, and feels so weird!

Heachaches. Everyday. They start around 2pm. And hey, Tylenol doesn't work well!

My tooth hurts too. Only one. It's very sensitive to cold things. I don't know if that's pregnancy related

[Ninedays9]

I've been feeling little twitches too, and I thought I was imagining it. I've always had little flutters in my stomach from who knows what.. but lately it does seem like they're concentrated on the area where the babies are.

[mitch]

OMG i think i'm Pregnant. I have all those symptoms. :rofl:



Only j/k. ;)

[Smurfette]

You knucklehead! ;)

[Smurfette]

I can't sleep. I wish I was a princess with a governess and an army of maids to be at my every beck and call.

Why did I watch Marie Antoinette?

The hiccups have replaced the toothpain. Any suggestions? :unsure:

Ooh, I just got an IM from my old college roommate. She's getting married, wants me to be a bridesmaid. Hmm... :notsure: I dunno about that. Sounds like a lot of work. I'd have to get off the couch and everything.

[Smurfette]

I smell EVERYTHING! From brake fluid to neighbors cooking jasmine rice to urine. I've always felt like DH was pretty good with his aim but suddenly I smell urine in our bathroom. And I have a housekeeper who keeps the bathrooms immaculate but tonight i woke up to a strong smell of pee. I scrubbed the toilet and the area around it for a good 20 mins and I still smell it. WTHeck man?

Speaking of scrubbing, I love the smell of Ajax and Comet. It does something to me. Someone once told me it means I'm anemic but duh.

I definitely feel quickening from the babies. Again, the sensation is really subtle and it's only when I lay down on my back. It almost feels like heart palpitations. I know it's not my imagination. :blink:

[Ninedays9]

I've had the joy lately of waking up with a bad, evil headache. It's especially great when combined with throwing up. And then I'm always afraid to take Tylenol because that almost seems to make my stomach feel worse. All this always makes it reaaaaalllly hard to get up in the morning... and today I get to go to work! Yay...

I get the headaches too when I wake up but it only lasts 20 mins or so. By the time I'm showering, they're gone.

Sucks when you feel crappy and you have to go to work. Bleh, I wish I didn't have to work period! ;)

I can't believe I'm 9 weeks. Whoa.

[LuLu86]

ive only shot out of the bed once to puke so far. but i have a nagging sick feeling all day. i have hypoglycemia so i have to eat every so often. I actually ate a huge cheeseburger the other day and kept it in.

I honestly just realized the heavy feeling today! ugh! i hate to stand for a long time. my uterus tilts back so it puts alot of pressure on my back. SUX

I smell everything also! annnnnnd my face looks like a 13 year old girls!

but im still so happy its ridiculous :)

I'm happy you're happy - but I'm still confused about your EDD. No worries, we'll be neck in neck for the water breaking contest come next February! ;)

[LuLu86]

lol right! itll be a close race! i was there for my SIL birthing last night and it scared the ba-jeezus outta me. we had her on speaker so we could hear and she had a tough time :bbconfused:

LOL. Not uncommon. Mind you I already had a 14 y/o but when DH and I started our childbirth classes we were naive and imagined a homebirth in a soothing bath of water. Yeah right. We watched that video and were like AGH!:boggle: It was so disgusting. My husband IMMEDIATELY called our doc and told him I would be having a c-section so as NOT to wreck his playground.

I have a birth vid somewhere around here but I'll never watch it. Heck no. :heart:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Back. Pain. :realmad:

[Smurfette]

Back. Pain. :realmad:
LMAO! Sorry, I'm not laughing AT you - I'm laughing at the way you said it.

I know my back pain is coming. My uterus has moved up out of the pelvic cavity and higher into my abdomen so I know gravity is getting ready to take over. Not looking forward to that. Again.:bbconfused:

[Smurfette]

No complaints today except that I'm extremely hungry ALL THE TIME. My stomach audibly growls. I need to find a favorite food because I'm getting kinda sick of eating.

[Ninedays9]

No complaints today except that I'm extremely hungry ALL THE TIME. My stomach audibly growls. I need to find a favorite food because I'm getting kinda sick of eating.

I know what you mean... I am getting so sick of having to eat all the time... like before bed, when I'm just ready to go to bed, but my stomach decide it's hungry... or in the middle of the night to try and prevent myself from throwing up in the morning. That hasn't been working the last couple days... grrr.

[Smurfette]

I am in the middle of an u/s and I asked the tech to see if I am really feeling the babies move. I told her when I felt something and yay! sure enough Baby B was turning cartwheels. Right on target for 10 weeks. She says they might be girls. I'm calling her bluff. My latest symptom is hiccups.

[Smurfette]

The smoke from the fire behind our home is very dense. I can hardly breathe and I only went from my car to the house. Ash is falling like snow. We are not in any danger unless the fire heads over the hill but DH packed up the RV just in case.

[Smurfette]

After today's fire scare - DH is bound and determined to live in a less fire prone area. He's just a nervous nelly, this was his 1st brush fire. I've been thru at least 4 fires since I've lived here, nothing as bad as 2008.

In any event, he's online looking at houses for sale. He can move if he likes, I don't even feel like moving my feet when the vaccum rolls around.

So what's with these hiccups? They kinda hurt. The doctor didn't have an answer, he said the proverbial "drink more fluids" and ordered to me stay home and take it easy. What does that mean with 2 infants? I've been sucking on my inhaler since I got home, the ash aggrivated my asthma. I'm a hot mess. :purplex:

[Smurfette]

New symptom ---> :parp:

[Smurfette]

My feet are so swollen. It's painful to walk. Once again I am headed to the doggone doctor. This happened with the other twins too. I was actually hospitalized becuase my b/p ran so high,they feared eclampsia. I can not have the slightest amount of salt or sodium or I blow up like a pufferfish.

Mad. Mad. Mad.

I think I meant preeclampsia. Can't edit. My b/p is 210/117.
No protein in my urine. Going to run a few more tests.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I hope everything is ok!

I hate when my feet swell. They feel like a hundred pounds :(

Urgent care wouldn't release me until my b/p went down. And they gave me meds. :( :( :( :( I know it's best for me and the kids but I'm so disappointed in myself. My tibial artery (in my leg) showed increased pressure which is why I was having pain when I walk.

Here's a list of foods that are banned - please eat them for me!

Ketchup / BBQ sauce / dipping sauce
No creamy dressings for salad
All Cheeses / Salted Butter
Tomato sauces (basically no Italian)
Sausages / prepared meats / hot dogs / pepperoni
Chinese food (unless it's prepared at home with no soy sauce)
No kid's cereals (high in sodium)
No fried foods
No fast food
No Salt / Seasoned Salt / Sea Salt
No bread / pasta (unless made at home)
Obviously no chips or snack foods
And worst of all - NO ICE CREAM!!! :bbcry:I'm limited to 800mg of sodium per day. My breakfast of waffles and turkey sausage was probably over that! Geez. I never realized the quality of my diet was so poor.

[Ninedays9]

Yikes, that does sound like a hard diet! I wish you luck in your search for non-salty foods. It does seem like there is more sodium than necessary in foods, and I am probably getting waaaay too much.

I've only had one major pregnancy symptom lately.. which is the always present pain down there. I'm also getting a heavier stomach, which is uncomfortable, but I guess it's good because it means the babies are getting bigger. I've got my next appointment on Wednesday; I'm so excited! :)

The heavy uterus is such an uncomfortable thing! I remember last pregnancy I had to get thru our wedding (and my wedding dress) and that night I literally let my stomach out. I hadn't been pregnant in over 10 years so my uterus was super achy. Everyday I thought I was going to miscarry - the pain was so steady.

This time my uterus is already soft and relaxed so it grew with no hesitation. When I tell people I'm due in Feb their eyes bug out! LOL. I'm huge. H U G E. My next appt is on Monday but it's not a well baby check, it's a well Mommy check to be certain my b/p medication is working.

If you don't already watch your salt intake, I'd just watch the extras like chips and snack foods. I forgot to add the most IMPORTANT key to a low sodium diet: Cold Medications!!! The Dr said all of the cold meds I've been taking for my sinus infection and sore throat were sending my b/p over the top. Even cough drops. Can you believe it? Wow, total shocker.

I'm so excited for your twin pregnancy. I remember my first. This chick in Urgent Care asked me if I was a surrogate and asked for my card. :rofl:

I ate a salad. With bleu cheese crumbles, walnuts and a light raspberry dressing. DH made it - it was good. Do I wanna eat it everyday? No.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

My hearts beating like crazy

[Ninedays9]

My hearts beating like crazy

My heart is doing weird things lately too, and I called the clinic about it.. the doctor said if it gets to the point where it doesn't calm down, to go to the ER. Fortumately it hasn't gotten to that point.

[ikkin510]

The heart thing is normal, especially with twin/multiple pregnancies and second pregnancies. I had it with Carter. Increased blood flow making the heart work harder. Stress and such doesn't help either.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

That might be it..the MIL has me a little worked up lol!

I was also drinking a coke at the time, has some caffiene. I wonder if that contributed?

Right now it's just fine though!

[ZurchersWeddings]

I get pinched nerves in my back that are debilitatingly painful! I am told that they get worse with each pregnancy! Luckily, they are supposed to be better at 25 weeks, and I am right around that... here's to hoping!

[Smurfette]

Heart palpitation is very normal in pregnancy unless it's accompanied by shortness of breath.

I've still got the swollen feet here. Actually, swollen foot. I've got a sexy, shapely right leg and then look left and whomp ---> CANKLE!!!

I bought some diabetic socks at Walmart only they were out of all the normal colors so I ended up with some poop brown knee highs! And they have this strange big toe separator thing going on. I figured they were perfect for wearing with flip flops and they are but now I look like a homeless retiree.

Whatever. I guess my symptom is still edema. I get to sit around with my feet propped up eating Dibs all day. WINNING! :coolblue:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I gotta see these socks! LOL

[ZurchersWeddings]

Haha@ WINNING!

Can I just say thank goodness for Charlie Sheen?

[NOTKT]

Compression socks ROCK! I wear them at work because I walk almost the entire 12 hour shift! They totally help with swelling and make my feel really cool. I think everyone should wear them. haha!

[Ninedays9]

I haven't had any foot swelling yet, but I may have to try the compression socks.

Today I'm having a horrible pain in my back when I walk.. at work it was hitting occassionally.. and just now when I got out of my recliner, I could hardly walk. I dont know if that's a pregnancy symptom or something else. I hope it's gone by tomorrow, though! I wish my chiropractor sister was awake to look at it.

[Smurfette]

Twins right Nine9Days? The back pain will be constant. Start wearing one of those pregnancy girdles. They'll help align your posture and keep your center of gravity from shifting forward, causing a strain on your back. I wear one.

I didn't get compression socks, these are diabetic socks with very little resistance. I could've saved $8 and bought a pack of tube socks and called it a day. I wish I had. I can't find one of them already!

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I get the back pain too when I stand up sometimes. It like pinches and I can't walk.

My symptoms:

Itching! I feel so itchy!!!

Also, my uterus hurt really bad this morning. On the left side. i have no idea why..

Also...uh..wth...I took my Zofran and I still feel sick today!

[Smurfette]

I'm actually good on back pain right now. I am constantly starving though! I feel as though I'm not eating enough and yet the roof of my mouth is shredded from all the fresh fruits and veggies. And my tongue has those little white bumps on them from the constant exposure to spices (can't use salt). Something's gotta give. I drank 2 Ensure's today which promptly put me to sleep. The sugar content was so high!

This pregnancy is very different from my last one. I can't put my finger on it. I'm so excited to be 12 weeks though! I watched an abortion video this morning, I know... why did I do it? Oh man, it was horrible. I can't believe that was an option for me. What was I thinking? Anyway, I'm going to finish my nap. Serene leaves in 20 mins and I like to milk every second of sleep I can while she's here.

[Ninedays9]

Danielle, I still had some bad days with Zofran, too. I was actually throwing them up for the last few day I was taking it. They switched me over to Reglan, and that's been working better.

I really need to set up a visit with a chiropractor. I think that'd really help with the back pain. My sister could try some stuff, but she doesn't have a table for a pregnant woman... nor has she ever done any work on a pregnant woman. She said there's a good doctor at her school, though.

Oh yeah... and I am always hungry, too. I can't eat as much at a time... or if I do, I have to eat really slow. So then I get hungry more often during the day. I'm sure I'm nowhere near the 2600 calories that are recommended.

[Smurfette]

Yeah my last OB recommended cheeseburgers but that's out the window since I can't properly metabolize my sodium. Geez, I HATE THIS! I want pizza. I want bacon. I want chicken alfredo. If I look at another salad I'm going to spit.

And another thing: bedrest sounds awesome and relaxing and just kickback fun. But it ain't. It's super boring. I'm so fricking tired of laying down or sitting with my feet up. NO NO NO NO NO NO! I want to be active. I wanna go places. Shopping. Walking. Running. I'm sick of my house.

Rant over. Carry on.

[Ninedays9]

I have heard that bedrest is a total drag. I had a small taste of it when I was told one day by one of the doctors to take it easy (had some bad symptoms) ... and I got bored. I'm really hoping I don't end up on bedrest at all during the pregnancy.

[Smurfette]

Hey NineDays - are you considered high risk for your pregnancy?

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

WTF LEG CRAMPS!:realmad:

[Ninedays9]

Hey NineDays - are you considered high risk for your pregnancy?

They haven't really said... just under my medical conditions on my online thing, it says "twin pregnancy." I just assumed all twins were considered high risk and that's why they're checked on more often. I dunno.. maybe I should ask at the next appointment.

[Smurfette]

WTF LEG CRAMPS!:realmad:
LOL! Omg, leg cramps are the WORST! I hate when I stretch at night in the bed and snap! My calf rolls up into a ball. I'm like dying. It was so bad with the twins one night I hopped to the shower because warm water was the only thing that would loosen it up. I get them due to my anemia. Not looking forward to those days.

We make pregnancy sound so inviting! Nick says we're not a very welcoming committee for all the TTC'ers. :rofl:

NINEDAYS: Yeah, you should check. I wasn't high risk with Sofigra and only had a couple of extra tests and appts. Everything else went according to plan.

My belly is a boiling volcano tonight. The Smurfs are very active. Geez. It feels like nonstop muscle twitches.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I was anemic with Lily, hopefully this time I won't be. The only thing I do when I get the leg cramps is grab my leg and cry until it's over. Worst. Pain. Ever.

:sob:

[Smurfette]

:sob:
LMAO! Not laughing at you, just the idea of you holding your leg and crying. Girl, grab a hot towel and wrap it around your leg. I also bought ICY/HOT. When that ran out I used up my generic Vick's Menthol rub. It all works the same. Anything to penetrate and relax the muscle.

I danced in my younger years so I've got quick solutions to all things related to muscles. If you can bear standing on it, next time stand with your feet hip's width apart, point your toes up and reach down but don't bounce. It should stretch that muscle right out.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Thanks for the tips! I gotta do something other then just cry about it! Usually it only lasts a minute...but it's a long minute!

[ZurchersWeddings]

Compression socks ROCK! I wear them at work because I walk almost the entire 12 hour shift! They totally help with swelling and make my feel really cool. I think everyone should wear them. haha!

Wait wait... you're prego? Your weight loss journal just took on a whole new dynamic for me! I had no idea!

[NOTKT]

Wait wait... you're prego? Your weight loss journal just took on a whole new dynamic for me! I had no idea!

Nope, not pregnant. Just walk A LOT at my job.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

TMI ahead-


I'd like to poop sometime this week. Also, if I am making requests, I'd like for it not to be the most painful thing in my life.

[NOTKT]

:( Sorry, Danielle. I'm not pregnant, but I have a terrible consistency and I can feel your pain.

[ZurchersWeddings]

Nope, not pregnant. Just walk A LOT at my job.

Ah, gotcha.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

:( Sorry, Danielle. I'm not pregnant, but I have a terrible consistency and I can feel your pain.
It's not fun! It's caused by this medicine I am on for morning sickness :(

Oh, and for my pregnancy complaint...why the heck is my morning sickness getting worse and not better? My pregnancy is backwards!

[Ninedays9]

My biggest symptom lately.... hunger! In one of my pregnancy books, it said you'd turn into the feed me plant from Little Shop of Horrors when you're hungry... and it's so true!

[Smurfette]

Nine9Days - wait until you're further along and the babies are performing circus acts in your belly. You will be hungry all day long! Everything you eat will go straight to the kids. I'm already there. I get so sick of eating. Even my favorite foods have lost their flair. Last week I tore up my mouth eating cereal and fruit all day. I can eat pastas but I can't have the added sodium which makes the food boring... I'm suffering over here.

I was drinking Ensure but the sugar content is so ridiculously high that I'd fall asleep right after. Not good so I switched to Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with sugar free vanilla ice cream as a snack during the day. I don't know what else to do. My Peri said stay far away from protein powders and candy bars. My gums are actually tired of biting into apples and nectarines. My teeth are sensitive from all the sweet fruit and sore from the almonds and peanuts. WHAT CAN I EAT??? Nick fried fish tonight and it was delish but too much fish is a no-no for preggos.

I only have 6.75 more months of this and then I'm done! For my celebratory dinner I want lobster, shrimp and a huge In N Out cheeseburger. I can't wait to show off my new belly. I really popped this week. WHOA!

[ZurchersWeddings]

it said you'd turn into the feed me plant from Little Shop of Horrors

"Feed me Seymour!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrjtQvtHg70

Speaking of good food and little ship of horrors, have you seen this blog? http://feeeeedmeseymour.wordpress.com/

wait until you're further along and the babies are performing circus acts in your belly.

My belly is a bloody Barnum and Bailey's right now. HAHA! It has gotten crazy. I can't imagine what it is like to have a double act in there!

a huge In N Out cheeseburger. I can't wait to show off my new belly. I really popped this week. WHOA! Mmmmm... In N Out!

[Smurfette]

NEW: heartburn - my Ute has moved past my belly button and is currently pushing my organs up up up, causing me horrific heartburn.

NEW: fire crotch - no need for details but this happens in each of my pregnancies. I was hoping I would catch a break this time around, I was wrong.

OLD: swelling - it's gone down, still have a left leg cankle though.

NEW: stretching skin - you'd think my body would remember this but my skin is very tight on my stomach, very uncomfortable. So many stretch marks have shown up in the last week, I stopped counting them. I'm kinda bummed about it. I didn't get any new stretch marks with Sofigra. This sucks. :(

NEW: peeing my pants - happened 3x today. I ended up borrowing a few pads from my g/f because I can't control myself. Every time I giggled or bent over to get something I'd leak a little. Gross.

[ZurchersWeddings]

...

Wow, Smurfette! I am so sorry! That DOES suck! :bbsad:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Why do I even bother eating? Every time I eat, i get these HORRIBLE stomach cramps ( like diaherrea cramps?) but no poopy! They're worse then contractions!

[Smurfette]

Stop taking those nausea pills! You are nearly 5 months and still having 1st tri symptoms, that's crazy!?! Isn't there anything you could sip on to keep the nausea down? OJ or 1/2 frozen Gatorade? And some crackers? That salt might do your enzymes some good. I would find an unsweet, carby food that I could eat in pieces and munch on all day. You don't have hypertension like me, I'd be sucking on cheese puffs until I turned orange.

No new symptoms here. Hahah, I lie. My back pain started this afternoon. :cool:

[Smurfette]

Started spotting today. Weird. Peri says it's related to sexytimes. I beg to differ. We're abstaining until we get a definitive answer.

I'm 13 weeks today! Oh yea! :confetti:

[Qtpie]

Started spotting today. Weird. Peri says it's related to sexytimes. I beg to differ. We're abstaining until we get a definitive answer.


When I was pregnant with Katie I had a few episodes of spotting after having intimate times with DH.

Hope everything is ok with the babies.

[Ninedays9]

I had a little spotting around 9.5 weeks and was told to take it easy for the day. They said that since the babies had strong heartbeats at the ultrasound, there was little chance of it being a problem with them. But I agree that the abstaining for awhile is a good idea.. that's what we did, too.

[Smurfette]

It's probably not fair of me to complain about my symptoms anymore since they've tripled but this heartburn is a MIL!

[ZurchersWeddings]

this heartburn is a MIL!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!:rofl:

ahem... I mean, I am sorry to hear that. :innocent:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Oh, and my pregnancy symptom...weird dreams..

I've been having the weirdest dreams lately. I had this boyfriend right before I met Shane, and I had a dream last night that he was going to propose to his girlfriend, and I was like, devestated. SO, for some unbelieveably odd reason, I went right up to him and started singing "Unpretty" by TLC ( you know, that song from the 90's?) to try and persuade him not to.

What the heck kinda dream is that!?

SO, for some unbelieveably odd reason, I went right up to him and started singing "Unpretty" by TLC ( you know, that song from the 90's?) to try and persuade him not to.

What the heck kinda dream is that!?

That is funny. I have been having VERY vivid dreams this pregnancy. I don't usually remember my dreams, but this last month I have been. Weird.

Oh, and my pregnancy symptom...weird dreams..
Totally read that as WET DREAMS.
Good morning! I'm a pervert. :bbconfused:

Inattentive reading and increased hormones, just two more pregnancy symptoms! ;)

LOL!!!!:rofl:

[Smurfette]

Increased hormones indeed. I've been spending a lot of time in my jet tub and that's all I'm going to say about it.

I thought DH had a dream he spent the night with a hooker because he left me some cash on the nightstand this morning. But he said he wanted me to go buy new clothes, he's sick of my strapless summer dresses. :unsure:

I live in these - long or short, every color and pattern. They make bf'ing a breeze.

Tehe.. I've got 2 naval oranges. I love the picture of the three lemons, that is great. When I get to the 20 week ultrasound I'll have 2 cantalopes... I keep looking at the cantalopes at work and freaking out, lol. Right now I'm still in the phase of looking like I gained a little tummy weight... only those that know I'm pregnant know it's bigger because of the babies.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Those are cute! I wish we had the money so I could get maternity clothes. I'm attempting to stuff myself into my old clothes, which is very strange looking lol! I need dresses. I'm gonna attempt to convince Shane into letting me get some!

I know! Cantalopes are SO huge. WTFreak. At least the babies aren't round like fruit. LOL. They do compact and fold into each other. My twins were some 6 lbs biggums at 36w. I can't imagine how big they would've been at 38w.

Nine9Days are you planning on natural childbirth?

Hey Zurcher, how are you feeling this morning! I feel as though I'm like the Team captain because I'm carrying the Three Stooges. Yes, Team Preggo, the fall/spring collection. :lafhard:

Lack of money is the reason I wear the summer dresses! :rofl:

They were like $5/ea at Old Navy in the clearance section. I even got some at Walmart for $1 (shh, don't tell anyone). I love clearance racks. Now's a good time to get them because stores are making space for Back-2-School clothes. Summer has been over since the 4th of July in the retail world.

You can be my Team Captain any time! :yesnod:
I am feeling alright this week, thanks for asking! Slept better last night than I have in a while (DH bought a new fan to put on me at night, he is so thoughtful). The hardest thing right now is something I took for granted: I have lost control of my gag reflex and I don't do poop very well to begin with. DS#1 is still in diapers so changing him while DH is at work has been Über difficult! I have been :pray: that he waits to poop until after DH comes home. DH has been very supportive though. He changes every poopy diaper without being asked if he happens to be home when it happens. :hearts:

[Smurfette]

I am so hungry. Just had the "I'm not your slave" argument with DH. He doesn't get it. He is my slave.

Until February 3, 2030 when the trips turn 18 he is damned to do my every beck and call. Too bad.

Haha, nice. Wait wait wait... "three stooges?" "trips?" I don't know how I could have missed this--I thought the smurfs were another set of twins... you're carrying Triplets?!:blink:

Yeah I moved the Penalty Box to private section. First Class as DH calls it. Found out on Sat. And here all along the docs were worried I was carrying too much amniotic fluid, it was actually a completely different sac and baby, hiding behind the other. Weird. I take some solace in the fact that one of my docs said I wouldn't have even found out I was carrying trips until week 16 if it wasn't for my hypertension. I've had 5 u/s in 13 weeks! I'm over surprise pregnancies. I want a normal, drama free 40 weeks. Still, things are moving along well and aside from the hypertension, I have no major complaints.

[ZurchersWeddings]

Wow! Well I think another congrats is in order! So are the "original" two sharing a sac, and then the third has his/her own?

[Smurfette]

No. Baby C is sharing a sac but has his own room and placenta and he was hiding behind his brother. If Baby B hadn't hiccuped, we would've have seen him. The u/s machine recorded three separate STRONG heartbeats but we couldn't see a third baby. It was scary. My Peri started talking about conjoined twins and TTTS. Thats when Baby B moved and went TA DA and revealed his brother. Totally separate baby with all of his own furnishings. :yesnod:

Oh thank goodness!! That must have been scary! TOPS is super frightening! I am glad everything is okay.

[Ninedays9]

I'm not sure what type of childbirth I'll have. I don't have any plans. DH and I are the laid back type... so we'll get to the delivery area and what happens, happens. It sounds like most births go that way no matter how much planning you do, anyway. But it will also depend on the baby's positions and what the doctor tells me further on in the pregnancy. Either way, I'm freaked out by the very thought of it, lol.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I feel like I can't breathe well :(

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Also, I think I have PUPPS :bbconfused:

I had this rash explode on my back as soon as I got pregnant, and it's moved around to my tummy :(

Well I've talked about it numerous times but my birth plan with Sofigra was thrown out the window when I went into labor with them. I'd been walking around for about 2 weeks dialated at 6 but at -0 stations. Sophia was very high up and had no intention of coming down until that Friday before I delivered. Grace was transverse and somehow they switched places. So Baby A (Sophia) is actually Baby B (Grace) but we didn't care anymore and just left their names as is. My labor was so quick! All natural, no meds. I was on an IV and DH insisted it was a morphine drip but he lied. By the time Sophia came, I was exhausted. I didn't have the energy to hold her let alone push out Grace. But somehow I found the strength to get her out and then I collasped. My girls came out SCREAMING! Apgar at 8 at one minute, 9 at five. They were healthy. I was happy. I don't remember anything else.

Oh yeah, I was in the OR. I don't think they allow twins to be born in the birthing rooms in case something goes wrong and they need do to an emergency C-section. Dare I say I'm hoping I can deliver the trips naturally but I'm not counting on it.

I feel like I can't breathe well :(
Elise is pushing all your organs up. I'm there with you! I attempted to do Disneyland today and barely made it down Main Street. Too hot, too crowded, I had no energy. I stopped at Carnation ice cream to get myself a cone and then parked my butt for about 2 hours. I left my daughter and her friends and our baby sitter Serene there and came home with the twins. I need a nap and B12 shot.

[Ninedays9]

Yeah, I've heard about the OR thing with twins. I've also heard that they almost make you do an epidural, since you'll need one if it goes into a C-section... But I guess if your labor is that quick, they wouldn't have the time for it. I'm probably crazy but I'm almost hoping for a scheduled c-section. All forms of birth scare me, but that option is the least scary.... but then again I haven't seen c-section videos.

[Ninedays9]

And wow, that was brave going to Disneyland! As much as I'd love to go to the state fair this year and load up on terrible fried foods, I'm not sure if I'll end up going because of the hot weather and so many people around. I guess we'll have to see how I end up feeling when it's here.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Ohhh Disneyland!!! I love disney land., i think i know of the ice cream shop on Main Street you're talking about!!

I'm doing a scheduled C section this time. They are considering my birth with lily to be "traumatic". My pelvis was too small, she got stuck and they vaccuum extracted her out, but I was still to small..so they pulled as hard as they could with the vaccuum and broke my tail bone and out she came.

But stuck at 5 lbs? Yeah. C-section for me, please!

I don't want a C-section. All of my friends that have had it had difficult recoveries, ESPECIALLY with a newborn at home. No thanks. I'll take Quick & Painful for $300 Alex.

[Smurfette]

:purplex: These hormones are like Jekyll and Hyde. I'm mean, I'm nice. I'm sugar, I'm spice. Agh!

Pick one already!

[Smurfette]

My underbritches are too tight. These ones I have leave lines
on my belly and make me walk funny. I ain't skinny no mo'.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

My new symptom: Killer migraine. My head hurts so bad.


I think I am anemic (or on my way to being) with this pregnancy as well. I was very anemic with Lily towards then end. I can feel I have no energy whatsoever lately. I wake up sleepy.

I wonder if I should start taking an iron pill. I'll ask my OB

[Smurfette]

I took an iron pill today along with one of Aunty Mia's shamrock shakes. I feel MUCH better. I hate to admit it. Get the low dose of iron so you don't tear up your stomach and take it with an orange or orange juice. Citrus aids the absorption!

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm worried about the iron pill cause constipation...I'm already having troubles due to the Zofran :(

[Smurfette]

Iron gives me loose bowels. :urgh:

Increase your beef then. And more spinach. That's the fun way to incorporate more iron in your diet.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I can go for a steak right now. I don't care if it's 10:30 at night. I want a steak!



Shaneeee...

[Smurfette]

Steak does sound good. Too bad it can't be cooked w/o salt. :bbcry:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

We can be sad together. Shane won't make me a steak right now. He looked at me like I was crazy..LOL

[Smurfette]

Why is he still up? Put your man to bed! :bblol:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Why is he still up? Put your man to bed! :bblol:

Right!? He stays up sooooo late.
Oh, another pregnancy symptom! I have no desire to us..put him to bed. Not one bit. Nope. Not at all.

I dread the days he asks for it.

Oh, well. It has nothing to do with him PERSONALLY, it's this pregnancy! No sex drive, at all.

I might as well be a nun at this point. :calm:

You can borrow some of mines. I have a lot to give. I was looking at one of the bread sticks today with serious lust. Nick told me to eat it already! I am completely insatiable right now which is why I think DH fell asleep. He's probably worn out. Sucks for him. :laugh2:

Tell Nick to count his blessings. When it comes time for sex I tell Shane "Keep it under two minutes." LOL, I feel so bad. Usually I have a normal sex drive...not so much lately.

[Smurfette]

Two minutes is good. I'm okay with that. :rofl:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

[Smurfette]

I'm serious. Salayia has me looking for our wedding video. Oh brother, I'm not even sure we brought it from the other house. :/

[Ninedays9]

My most annoying symptom lately has been the icky taste that lingers in the back of my mouth after any time I eat or drink anything (even bottled water). I Googled it, and it seems kind of common in pregnancy. It's very gross.

That happened to me for a while. It bothered me so much.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Congestion :calm:

[Ninedays9]

My belly has grown so much in the last three days... DH keeps commenting on it. I've been having pain from the stretching... not too comfortable!

[Smurfette]

My belly has grown so much in the last three days... DH keeps commenting on it. I've been having pain from the stretching... not too comfortable!
Not so much this time around but I do remember how
UNCOMFORTABLE it was to have my skin stretched out
like that. And it wasn't even in the obvious later months
but in the early months that it hurt. My skin was actually
hurting. But, I didn't get any new stretch marks which is
really weird. This time, I've got stretch marks galore. I'm
already counting on a tummy tuck/makeover. My BIL's
wife is a plastic surgeon, she referred me to the excellent
doc that fixed my broken nose - I'm going to let her do my
tummy makeover. We've already planned for May 2012.

My newest PG symptom is Dahlia sits right on top of my
bladder and kicks it all day long. Oh man is it the sharpest
pain ever. Gio and Nick are right above her and Nick has
nudged himself sorta under my left rib. DH says he wants
to be close to my heart like Daddy. Whatever. That mess
is beyond annoying. Today is my gestational birthday so
I'm officially 16 weeks! My Peri says I'm about the size
of a 6m 8d pregnancy. Our 3 little Smurfs are 5 inches
long and the most active babies I've ever carried. On Thurs
I was officially put on a bend/lift restriction because of my
height - the girth of my belly and the location of the kids.

*sigh* 5 more months to go... :cloud9:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

TMI ahead.


I can't tell which is worse...having gallbladder attacks in my first pregnancy with Lily, or having my gallbladder emoved and now enduring the horrible pain of bile spilling out into my stomach and causing diherrea with this pregnancy.:urgh:

Both sound equally yucky and uncomfortable. Air hugs to you! :heart:

No new symptoms but I decided to bite the bullet and buy some pg
undies. Oh my, I've never known such comfort.

I need to do that too... Almost all of my regular ones are now digging into my skin.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I've never heard of pg undies!! I want!

OH! TMI...but. Uh, I can't see my vag anymore. And I want to shave because I have a dr appt coming up. And I don't want to freak my OB out...but I can't see it for the life of me.

If I can't see it, does that mean it's not there anymore? Ah, I'll just say that's the case.:no_mention:

[Smurfette]

You dork! :laugh2:

Doctor OB doesn't care about your hair. I've heard they
actually prefer it because it covers up your girly parts. I
can see my cookie when I look in the mirror but that's
about it. I know my cookie is still there because DH was
nibb... nevermind. It's not important.

I have a new symptom that I forgot about. My muscles
are achy. I didn't realize it until I bought the pg britches.
You should get some DanDan. They support my belly at
the bottom and everything. Oh man, when my belly is
lifted, my center of gravity shifts and I feel so much better.

BTW, DanDan, me and you have HORRIBLE sleep scheds.
We totally keep Cinderella hours. :bblol:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

LOL! Well, I guess if OB doesn't care..I can't see my lower half of my body so I'll pretend it doesn't exist. Shane, well..I don't know what to tell him!

We do stay up rather late. I ate so much pumpkin bread, and it had 3 1/2 cups of sugar in the batter. I'm kinda wide awake. :laugh2:

[Smurfette]

Fresh baked bread sounds awesome! Waaah, no more Aunty Mia.
I suppose I can try cooking. That would be a start in the right
direction. However, yesterday my kitchen endeavors weren't very
successful. Baked potholder a la flambe didn't go over so well. :rofl:

Okay totally NOT funny. My oven is still messed up.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Am I allowed to LOL?:laugh2: Cause I did!

The pumpkin bread was amazingly easy! I'll send you the recipe. I put a cream cheese frosting on it. I wanna marry that bread, for real.

I don't condone domestic violence and I'm pretty sure that

mmm...carrot cake!

[Smurfette]

I just weighed my boobs and my left breast is 85.9 grams
and the right one is 89 grams. I basically have like 3 oz of
milk in each one! Whoa.

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I can only imagine what my boobs weigh :(

Natural DD's...inhereted all along my mom's side. I know women pay for that, but I HATE it. I've always wanted cute little C's or something.:urgh:

[Smurfette]

I'm normally a healthy B-C but I haven't seen those
bras in over a year. Right now I'm a D. You don't look
like DD. TeenBaby is a natural D - at 15! OMG, poor thing.

[Smurfette]

I've got three grapefruits, each weighing more than my boobs.
That's heavy!

http://static3.depositphotos.com/1000630/149/i/950/depositphotos_1495948-Three-grapefruits.jpg

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

I was a DD all through high school and everyone always would say "Oh, the danielle with the big boobs?" to describe me. I hated it!

[Smurfette]

Lower back pain kicked in today. WHOA MARY!!! :censored:

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Mine today is migraines :( The only time I have ever gotten migraines is in pregnancy. And it suckssss.

[Smurfette]

I can't cross my ever-loving legs! WTF? It puts too much
pressure on my blahblahblah and squeezes the kids.

[Smurfette]

This Saturday I will be in my THIRD TRIMESTER!!! I'm so excited! :confetti:

[Smurfette]

I'm officially 7 months. Wowza!

My latest complaint is I knock everything over with my
fat bastard belly. Everything!

And I had what felt like a painful cut underneath my right
milkshake so I tried to look in the mirror. Naked. Talk about
losing your appetite. I think if I looked at myself completely
naked more often I would exercise. DH is mad because I
used his Norelco to shave my lady bits. What'd he think I'd
use, a razor blade? I can't even see what I'm doing. I'm
going solely off of touch.

He's a big baby. :rolleyes:

[ikkin510]

This pregnancy has been really smooth going so far. I'm actually enjoying it. Seeing I hated it with Carter, it's nice to have it easy so far this time.
I'm hating that insomnia started early this timehough. Every night I wake up between 2 and 3 and I am up for about 3 hours at least. Normally no sooner do I fall back asleep the boys will wake up.

[Qtpie]

Sounds like it may be a girl this time for you then? Fingers crossed for you.

I completely missed that you were pregnant!

Congrats!!!

[brendalin]

I have a lunch date with a freind that had to get moved back a half hour :irked: Not a goog idea to keep a pregnant women waiting to eat. I am getting crabby!

[Ninedays9]

Aww, I can't participate in this thread anymore. But I am experiencing phantom kicks... it's really weird! I kind of like it though, lol.. I didn't really have time to get used to the fact that I wasn't going to be pregnant anymore.. I was expecting a couple more weeks!

[scarymary48]

I'm hungry like a crocodile, all the time. I already look more pregnant at 13 weeks than I did at 20+ weeks with Zac. My butt is not thanking me.

[Brian's Bride]

I agree with you, Sarah! I'm also looking pretty big. Thinking it's because it's my third, but it's probably more due to that I am also hungry all. the. time!

[BamsesBride]

Barely past 5 weeks and I'm tired all the time! That's my biggest one so far, I don't want to do anything but curl up and sleep..

Which isn't really a good deal when I have homework and housework I need to do :snide:

I think you may be confused about what this thread is for. it is a place for pregnant women to complain about their pregnancy symptoms. And you listed symptoms, but there is not more information liseted by them as you said...
