Hellobee Boards

I've had a pretty constant headache since I got KU but the past two days have been unbearable, they almost bring tears to my eyes it hurts so badly. I've never had a migraine but I think that might be in my future DH is miserable when he gets one so fingers crossed my headaches go away!

@MrsTiz: I had a killer headache yesterday Hope you start feeling better!

@MrsTiz: I hope your headache has lessened. Migraines are the worst. I've only had 2 in my lifetime, and they were so painful I'll never forget.

I've been having some headaches in the past week and I've found that drinking more water helps some. Maybe it's tied to dehydration?

@Ash: I usually just let it ride but if it gets too bad i'll take Tylenol and drink a ton of water.

It doesn't always help but it's worth a shot

Anyone else sleeping really poorly? I may need to invest in a snoogle to help!

@Ash: I find that a little caffeine helps my headaches. I don't like to take anything either.

@Mrs. J: I wonder which is the lesser evil... Hahaha!!

Boo for headaches! Hope you all feel better soon!! I'll be 16 weeks on Friday and still crossing my fingers that my zits let up soon... I spent last week in San Diego and am going to Washington D.C. this weekend, and it sucks so bad not being able to wear tank tops/cute dresses/etc. because of the gawd-awful back zits!

@Ash: Dude, there's no way. If it were a few random zits/clusters, I probably would just say eff it and go for it, but it's seriously...bad. People have compared it to a full-back rash... Hahahha. And they're all like, the deep, cystic kind so they HURT... On the plus side, I think my chest is...mayyyyybe starting to clear up, so that's a plus! I just hope my back follows suit!

Oh, and P.S. that's super interesting about the Tylenol thing. I've only taken a few so far (and only one of the two in the recommended dose or whatever) to help ease my zit pain, but every time I can't help but feel guilty! I don't know why, either!!! I mean, I scarfed down a Pinkberry (gasp! softserve!) with no shame, but one Tylenol has me guilty!

@Ash: @ms.janedoe: I had a bunch of zits, but my back and chest are clearing up--it's my face where I am still getting them like a teenager. I still think it's a boy though, haha.

@ms.janedoe: I have awful back zits too and refuse to wear tank tops or dresses that show my back. It's really limiting!

I've had terrible headaches too and my midwife said Tylenol is safe but also to try a cup of coffee and see if that helps get rid of it.

Dudettes - I will keep this brief, but I have to share. I'm actually amazed I am putting this out there on the web, but here goes. I experienced the WORST constipation of my LIFE yesterday. I mean - seriously, thought I might birth the 13 week old lime-sized baby right there on the toilet. I know - I won't go into anymore detail. But here's the thing I wanted to share...The side effects on your medicine, do you ever really have those happen to you? I very rarely do, so when the anti-nausea meds I started last week said "constipation" was a side effect I though - meh, whatever.

Oh my. Never again.

I stopped those puppies yesterday. Cold turkey. I've been eating like crap for 5 weeks - and my body revolted yesterday. So I did my best to jump in with a simple salad (first salad I've eaten in 5 weeks!!!) and a fruit smoothie. I've only been able to stomach bland carbs for what feels like forever. But now - I'm going to push to get more fruits and veggies in there.

Constipation is awful. I never want to experience that again. For those of you on this board that have been pregnant before - did you experience constipation later in the pregnancy? Do I need to prepare for more of this?

I used to be SO regular!!!

Ok. The end

@ms.janedoe: I live in the DC area! Have a great time here this weekend! It's been super hot this week - but it's supposed to cool down this weekend. So maybe you can sport the simple cardigan over your tanks

@Mrs. Pink: I posted on the November Mamas board that I started having BH a couple weeks ago. I'm a couple weeks behind you (just hit 20 weeks on Saturday). I called my midwife and was told they are completely normal. But I did notice mine first started coming on when I was dehydrated. No leaking though.. but that's normal too!!

@anbanan15: Such an awesome feeling!! We're cruising right along!!

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Over the 4th, I was outside a lot and since then I have a colorless rash on my arms and legs that itches. I will need to be outside this summer and am hoping to get rid of or manage this better.

Any suggestions?
