Symptoms GALORE
This is baby #3 for me. I am currently 9-ish weeks and... OH. BOY.
Talk about symptoms. I did not have this many or nearly as sensitive of symptoms the first two go arounds!
I was late for my cycle but testing negative. Few weeks later, started craving watermelon. Ding ding ding- I knew I needed to test again because watermelon was a huge craving with baby #2. Lol and behold, positive.
That was two weeks ago. Since the I have:
- Intermittent nausea
- Nausea brought about by CAMO pattern (I didn't even know that was possible)
- Constipation
- Back pain
- Extreme gas
- Weight gain? bloating? Too much poo that hasn't emptied?
- Craving red meat (first pregnancy I couldn't stand meat!)
- Craving sub sandwiches
- Craving raw vegetable trays with ranch
- Exhaustion
- Dizziness and lightheadness
I literally had to pull over on the way home from work because I felt like I would pass out. Went into a gas station and grabbed some food, ate it, and then felt good enough to get home.
I haven't ever had this many symptoms, or this strong of them. With our 10 month old, it's hard because I can't just rest. With my other two pregnancies, exhaustion was the biggest symptom in the first trimester and it pretty much dominated everything. Now it's a combo of everything!!
What about you ladies? How fair you?
