Pregnancy: Would you like some cheese for your whine?

[gatosqueak]

Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for all some of the weird complaints about pregnancy.

I'm about 7 weeks along and my back is hurting. I can only go on a one block walk and have to go lay down. Had my first real experience with morning sickness this morning.. YUCK! No throwing up.. and it passed fast.

Anyone else having any symptoms?

I'm also breaking out like crazy.

Thanks! I needed this thread! This baby keeps jumping on my bladder & cervix :( I didn't know they could do that at 21 weeks, but last night he was soooo low and kicking that it was painful. I swear he thinks my bladder is a trampoline.

My face is soooo frickin' oily half the time even though I'm breaking out a little less than usual. AND stupic sciatica is driving me crazy! Okay, gripe over. I really do like being pregnant, but sometimes it drives me bonkers!

I feel fantastic right now...probably the best I have felt at this point with all 3 kiddos. But the first 14 weeks were the hardest. The morning sickness was worse than the first two combined.

I, too, broke out in the 1st trimester with this one. I also broke out with my first daughter (this baby is a girl). I don't remember breaking out at all with my boy.

I crave sweets like fruit and of course some junk like donuts, pastries. No cravings for meat like with my son.

I can feel cervix kicks already, too. Wait until the baby gets so big you swear their tiny foot is going to come out. They are so strong! Nature is miraculous.

Enjoy ladies!

I was breaking out a lot during my first trimester. And my face was super oily. OB said I would have a girl. She was right.

I had the best sleep during my pregnancy though. Super sleep. I want it back...

I ate an unbelievable amount of oranges during my pregnancy. DD loves oranges too :)

I'm at the end of my pregnancy - and my biggest complains are my smooshed bladder - makes me have to go pee literally every hour, day and night - and my giant ankles. My ankles are so swollen right now I'm seriously afraid the skin is about to crack.

I ate an unbelievable amount of oranges during my pregnancy. DD loves oranges too :)

This is how I was with watermelon, I ate it literally every week for the second half of my pregnancy. My DD2yrs HATES watermelon. DD1yr loves watermelon, and I didn't eat any while preggo with her.

I feel ya girls. Going in for our first prenat visit this wednesday. I've given up on makeup for now.. good lord. So oily! Feel like I'm 13 again. The back aches have stopped.. at least this weekend! Yay!

I wanted them to stop so I can start walking. I've been eating healthy for the past few weeks and then wanted pizza SO bad. I ate like 5 slices! And threw up some afterwards. But not all. I'm thankful I don't have morning sickness, but it isn't helping the weight gain, LOL.

I'm 33 weeks with our 4th (this one's our 3rd boy). I feel good most days, but when I feel sore, it's really uncomfortable!!

My hands and face swell quite a bit ~ I took off my engagement ring 2 weeks ago, but my wedding band won't budge. Hoping we don't have to cut it off.

I have carpal tunnel in both hands/arms. It comes and goes ~ today only my left hand hurts, yesterday my right arm was really hurting all the way up to my elbow. Makes it hard to take care of 3 children!

Heartburn central ~ I carry Tums everywhere! Woke up at 2 am last night and had to go downstairs for awhile, till the Tums kicked in and I could lay back down.

Sciatic and back back that gets worse if I do too much!

I am not pregnant but I think this thread is cute. When preggo with DS I craved spicy food, the spicier the better.... LOL I had HORRIBLE heartburn with him, but got it with water so I figured WTH, I might as well enjoy what I am eating.... Well he is a spicy food lover and has been since very early on. Loves it... (oh yea he was born with a mullet).

DD no desire for anything spicy with her, and she does not like it.... LOL

I'm 2 weeks away from my due date.

Heartburn- all the time, not matter what I eat (or drink), and my hips are killing me. I haven't been sleeping more than 2 hours at a time. (ha ha no jokes about "get used to it", I'm sick of it and so sleep deprived I will choke someone).

DS is kicking and moving and wiggling all the time, he's running outta room.

Oh, and round ligament pain- GOOD SWEET GOD!!

I can't wait for him to get here.
