So, I admit it, I'm one of those lucky ones who got off lucky in pregnancy without much morning sickness. I did feel nausea in the first trimester, but it was easy to avoid, I'd just make sure to have something carb-ish to eat in the morning, and I'd feel fine. By week 12 and 13, I was feeling very normal and thought I was in the clear.
But at 17 weeks 1day pregnant, this is the 3rd time in about 2 weeks where I'm feeling nausea in the morning. The last two times, it was because I hadn't had breakfast before coming into work (my plan had been to heat up breakfast at work). Today, however, I ate my typical breakfast at home, and I still feel naucious at work. The nausea is still not significant and I generally, if I think of something else, I'll be able to bear it, but still, I thought this second trimester was supposed to be nausea free? Guess not for me!
The other symptoms I'm noticing, which I know is common, is dizziness if I get up from sitting or lying too fast, fatigue at things I'd normally not be tired at (like brushing my hair! or putting on make-up), sleepiness during the day and early evenings, I've been feeling the occasional pull in the side of my abdomen, which I'm pretty sure is the very commented upon...????? (brain fart...what's that pain you get in your side when your uterus is growing?? obviously, pregnancy brain is another huge symptom) and some slight irratability. I can usually catch myself before I throw a hissy fit at DH for no real reason, and he's generally really good and just doing whatever it is I'm demanding because he knows it's not me talking, it's the hormones (or so I'd like to believe).
Ahh, the joys of pregnancy. I'm lovin' it.
it's round ligament pain!
ReplyDeleteRound Ligament pain!! Oh yes!! Just gotta love it!! How was the visit back home? Wasn't it just wonderful? Did you annouce the news about what your little man is, or are you planning on surprising everyone??
ReplyDeleteTrust me! It's the hormones talking!!! 2nd trimester is all about baby movement, and feeling cute and pregnant!!! Plus hormone city and fatigue at times too! I can not believe you are already 17 weeks. Where had the time gone? Not much longer to go before the big half way point at 20 weeks and then, the big V day!! Viability at 24 weeks!! So exciting!!! Grow little guy grow!!!
This second trimester is KILLING me! And I think its round ligament pain youre thinking of?? Not sure though...I'll trade places with! I would LOVE to just go back to feeling nauseous! LOL
