Still much more tired that usual and no real appetitie/slight queasiness. We're down to 7 days before our first ultrasound and I'm very excited to hopefully hear a heart beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125393 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:34:33 +0000 hotpink 125393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks! I am feeling pretty good. I get tried in the afternoon, enough to take a nap if I can. My boobs are sore. I usually get up at least once in the night to pee. Probably because I'm drinking a lot more water these day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125255 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:56:53 +0000 rattles 125255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: With you as well, unfortunately. I'm seven weeks, exhausted, sore, queasy, and I've thrown up a few times already. I'm excited for my first appointment next week! I'm still nervous about the baby sticking though, so I'm happy to tough out the symptoms if that means s/he's growing well in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125164 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:53:10 +0000 MamaMoose 125164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Oh I'm right there with you sister.. you're not alone!</p> <p>I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. Boobs are sore almost all the time. And the mornings are horrible for me. Every morning I'm extremely bloated and get a lot of nausea (but never any vomitting). I have to get up and get moving very slowly or else I'll really feel like crap. Luckily I usually only feel super terrible in the mornings and the stomach issues subside throughout the day.</p> <p>The one thing that never seems to go away though is the pain in my hips and lower back. Everything is starting to stretch and I'm uncomfortable all the time and can never find a good sleeping position.</p> <p>I have my first ultrasound on Wednesday. I just can't wait to see that heartbeat and hopefully relax a little bit. I'm going to ask my doctor about referring me to a physical therapist to help with the pain, and I will also probably go right out and buy a pregnancy pillow once I'm sure the little bean looks safe in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125155 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:48:05 +0000 cyneswith 125155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7w,2days. I feel like my stomach is behind my lungs. But my morning sickness isn't as bad as yesterday (I try to find substitutions for my chocolate cake craving, but everything came right back up. Plus, my hubby prepared a marinade for bison steaks early in the day, and the soy sauce and garlic smell had my stomach rolling ALL DAY.) It's still kicking my butt, though. Acne is horrible, can't get enough sleep, really want to get out of the house but am too exhausted/pukey to do so, feel like I'm drowning in phlegm... But it's a cheerful, purposeful sort of sick, so it's all just fine.</p> <p>ETA: Also, my husband informed me that his plans, should his job contract end, have changed. He no longer plans on quitting his company and going back to school full time, but will take a position even if it's in a state he doesn't like. Which is of immeasurable comfort to me - I did NOT want to move back in with my parents. I just really hope whatever transition takes place does so before my third trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125126 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:35:34 +0000 DillonLion 125126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man I guess I am the only one who feels like total ass. No energy, exhausted, nauseous all the time! I haven't thrown up yet (thank G-d) but I feel like I could at any moment, most of the time. </p> <p>I'm bloated but I already moved into a whole new complete wardrobe of maternity clothes because I was sick of being uncomfortable on top of all of my other symptoms.</p> <p>I'm 8 weeks, 3 days. </p> <p>In other news, it is just a challenging task to keep this pregnancy under wraps. Both sets of parents are adamant about telling people after we've asked them to keep it quiet, and the news has just been getting out like a slow leak. I doubt we'll have anyone to share the news with when we finally become ready to tell. :(</p> <p>We saw the heartbeat last week, so I'm really thankful for that! But otherwise I am counting down the days until this trimester is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125117 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:33:43 +0000 Minnie_Girl 125117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently 7w and feel great! Only slight nausea and a little bit of cramping so far. Mostly I feel very womanly, and boobtastic. DH is loving it.</p> <p>Also, I had a novel experience yesterday: for the first time in my adult life, I had to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Oh boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125102 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:26:10 +0000 Arden 125102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I wish I could join this group of preggo mamas! Ha, soon. Good luck all of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-125093 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:23:45 +0000 kml636 125093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 weeks today and feeling good... except I FAINTED yesterday!</p> <p> I guess I got out of bed too fast because I was walking out of my room and DH heard a crash and I woke up on the floor. I felt fine after, , but I called the OB today just in case, and they told me to go to my regular dr today so... I'm hoping they tell me it's low blood pressure. Never happened before. Just praying I can make it to my next appt at 13 weeks and hear that heart beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-124766 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:36:56 +0000 hilsy85 124766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 weeks tomorrow and still feeling good! At my appt last week I had gained a half a pound. Dh says im starting to get a little bump but I think it just looks like bloat :) Boobies are much less sore and this morning my skin even looked better! Fingers crossed that this is a good omen for 2nd tri! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-124764 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:36:04 +0000 kodybear 124764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm at 6wks + 2days and i'm feeling pretty normal. i've been having spotting on and off throughout the whole thing and kind of sore breasts but nothing that major. i've been starting to feel alittle nausea but its really slight and not to the point where i'd throw up. my first appt isn't for another 2 weeks so until then i'm trying not to plan or research anything baby related just in case theres bad news. glad you girls are starting to feel better!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-124727 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:04:54 +0000 mrskc 124727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks here. So close to officially starting 2nd trimester! I'm finally starting to feel better. I hard a horrible headache all last week that finally went away. And I feel like my appetite is slowly coming back. I did throw up this morning, but I'm hoping that ends soon. I feel less nauseous through out the day. I'm looking forward to my NT scan in one week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-124712 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:57:09 +0000 heffalump 124712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant, but yay that you're feeling good again! Hope it stays that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-mamas-how-are-you-feeling#post-124177 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:32:12 +0000 mrsjyw 124177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just past the 9 week mark, and I feel pretty good! The m/s and nausea has been at bay for the last week... no weight gain yet, on/off bloat... still tired, but nothing too drastic.</p> <p>I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and not think about the "M" word!</p> <p>I'm excited for our 2nd appt next week and hopefully hear the heartbeat!! :)</p> <p>What about you? </p>
