ebelle -- More than likely it will be over by the time 1st tri ends. It varies a lot. My awful nausea with dd lasted from 5 weeks until 13-14 weeks. It started getting better around 11 weeks. Unfortunately some women are sick their entire pregnancies but I think it's relatively rare. I've known 2 women who vomitted almost every day, even toward the end. One of them had to be induced at 38 weeks because her baby was losing weight (but was born perfectly healthy). And she didn't stop throwing up until she was 3-4 months post partum. Crazy. But she's the only person I've known to have that happen. And she said she wasn't even really nauseous, just would suddenly feel like she had to puke and would do it and then would feel fine. It was really weird. I'll tell you though, even the women who have the worst morning sickness are so ready and willing to do it all again for their next child.
lily28 -- With dd, I had to stop running around 9-10 weeks. I just couldn't do it anymore.
I was in pretty decent shape before I got pregnant but right around 10 weeks, all activity became more difficult for me (I'd get out of breath really easily). I guess because of blood volume?
But I knew someone who was pregnant at the same time as me with dd who ran a 5k at 28 weeks pregnant. Put me to shame.
girlinyork -- My husband would also have trouble relating to a son, I think. I hope I'm wrong, but I can imagine myself caught in the middle of them pretty much all the time with a teenage boy. I'd
love to have a boy but another girl would be so much easier for us, I think. I have one IC left and have been fighting my urge to buy more. But I'm a couple weeks ahead of you. So... yeah, in your shoes, I'd probably buy more.
babysiew -- sorry I'm no help. Probably won't see a doctor for several more weeks.
Hope you ms ladies feel better soon!! My nausea is still coming and going. Nothing too terrible yet but I'm still so early. Definitely better at this point than I was with dd, though!
The exhaustion hasn't slammed me yet, either.
hips -- I don't remember mine hurting until towards the end with dd. But they do definitely pop more since I've had her than they ever did before. Pretty much every time I get up from sitting on my couch, my left hip pops. Getting old sucks.
My hips don't really hurt at all now.
But, I've got some
premium birthin' hips
haha
, so maybe they don't have much expanding to do.
I also get blind during pregnancy.
It's already started for sure. I'm thinking about going to get my eyes checked and get a pair of glasses just for pregnancy. I know that's stupid but I have really awesome vision insurance and I haven't used it yet this year.
So as stupid as it would be for me to get my eyes checked and get a new prescription right now, it's even more stupid not to use it since I'm paying for it.
So far this pregnancy, I've been craving sweet stuff something terrible. But I woke up this morning craving lean protein and fresh veggies! Shocked! And very glad. Hope that continues.
