HOLY HORMONES!!! Today DS is super sick, he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, which requires breathing treatments every three hours (even during the NIGHT!!), and I have had so many break downs today! I cried after I got off the phone with the nurse when we made the doctors appointment; I cried on the way TO the doctors appointment; I cried on the way home. I'm tearing up just writing this. I know I'm overreacting, but I can't help it! DS will be fine in a few days, but these hormones sure make it hard to be reasonable when I need to be.

@MrsH I need to be thankful for the bad symptoms, and I'm the first one to get worried when the symptoms disappear.

New symptom. Super sensitive skin! I was only outside for an hour! Normally I wouldn't even be pink.

@Sugar.Biscuit: Yowza! Ouch! That looks painful!

@amandalynn: I'm glad it went away!

Just some encouragement to all my fellow nauseous ladies, my OB said nausea peaks between 8-10 weeks and then should start subsiding. I hope he's right!!

@Navy_Mommy: hang in there, Mama. I hope that everything is Ok!! Maybe the OB on call would have some suggestions for you?

We live on base, and my husband works on base. His work is like 10 minutes from home and we can see the hospital from our back yard. It's really convenient!

@MrsH: now I'll probably be waiting for like a year, lol. I brought my tablet and I'm watching Pitch Perfect to pass the time! Haha

@Honeydew: How far along are you? My MS has been really minimal (only puked twice). Just a little nagging queasiness from week 7 until now (week 11).

Sounds like your other symptoms are making up for the lack of MS!

@Honeydew: I've felt really good and I'm 7+4 today. No MS at all & MAYBE nausea once. My boobs are sore & I'm constipated... that's it right now.

I'm at 9w5d. Very little nausea. Just tired. And no MS. Maybe it's because I'm eating seemingly every 2-3 hours.

@Sugar.Biscuit: they have no idea what's causing the severe cramping, but my HCG levels are where they should be for between 8 and 9 weeks so no ultrasound. So I just get to deal with the pain and wonder what the hell is wrong.

@Navy_Mommy: They didn't want to do an U/S? you're far enough along I would think. I'm glad your levels are up though!

@wahine08: feeling pretty good still. Constipation is a B though.

@wahine08: heart burn & indegestion is the worse! Mine is so back not pregnant that the doctor kept me on my meds during pregnany.

Have you tried eating a fiber cereal? I've noticed when eat it regularly I'm not as bad.

Ahh hopefully all of these yucky symptoms will go away over the next few weeks for all of us - we're getting close!!

This week, I think I'm finally starting to develop some "real" morning sickness. I've been lucky enough to avoid it so far, but there have been several days this week where I just feel awful no matter what I do.

Also, finally developed the super-smelling ability I keep hearing about...almost got sick from the smell of my dog's spit the other night, and I could spell some unpeeled bananas from across the kitchen!

@MrsH: Dog food is the worst. I have a problem with it even when I'm not pregnant. It just hits ya right in the gut!

Mine is much worse in the evenings, starting around 3-4pm... If I wasn't taking unisom + b6 I don't think I'd be doing half as well (if well is what you'd call this!)

Hanging in there!!

@Sugar.Biscuit: I did have that around week 8. It was weird but went away in a few days. As of then, I'm just getting your average, gross discharge. It's not thick like EWCM but it's consistent and obnoxious! I hear it's normal.

@wahine08: @MrsH: I called the nurse & the Dr. Said it was probably pregnancy mucus. Unless I started cramping, bleeding, or noticed signs of an infection I should be okay.

I'm a little crampy & have been having pelvic twinges but nothing I haven't had before. I think my uterus is just stretching...at least I hope that's what it is.
