I'm not fond of this pregnancy so far

[carawestt]

I finally got over MS but now I have horrible cramps every day and diarrhea. I've been in the bathroom since 11:30. And Lincoln won't nap. Or sit still.

[Deleted]

Bummer!!!! hope you feel better soon friend! and that Lincoln sleeps!!

[TrudyCampbell]

Boo . It is all very worth it! Hang in there.

[sunshineluv]

Bless your heart.

If misery loves company, I am sitting here at my cube taking deep breaths so I won't hurl.

I would be leaving but DH is in a meeting, we carpool.

The car ride home is going to be the suck. I may have to use my emergency bag. . .

[carawestt]

I know it's so worth it and I feel horrible for complaining, it's just so much different than with Lincoln.

sunshineluv ugh I'm sorry! MS started to let up around 11 weeks. Hopefully the end is near for you!

[teamhayes]

Maybe a girl cara? Feel better it will pass soon

[eav2c]

I have pregnancy brain something awful this go around. Like, I just made peroigies for C and they weren't cooking and I couldn't figure out WHY! Oh, turn in the stove!

I am so sorry. Could you see if you could get an anti-diarrheal?

[Deleted]

I'm sorry. We can be miserable together. My nausea has come back and I either can't poop at all, or it's diarrhea.

I wish men could know what it's like for just like, a day! They would bow down to us.

[carawestt]

eav2c if it doesn't get better, I'll get something. And now I want perogies!

jnoellee I was horribly constipated with Lincoln. Right now I miss it!

[Deleted]

You guys are scaring me! And reminding me how bad I had it with D! Maybe I will have a smooth pregnancy this time!! (Not that I'm pregnant yet but soon- hopefully!)

I get such bad diarrhea at the beginning with mine. Not yet this time. Fingers crossed yours ends soon

Hopefully you can avoid it this time!

[carawestt]

ladybug, you probably will! Since you had a tough one with D, your second one will probably be super easy (like mine was last time).

I do wish this somewhat, but can you imagine the sheer magnitude of whining that would ensue for that day?

[carawestt]

Yum! They have really good ones at Costco. What kind do you get? I like the cheese and spinach.

[biblionerd]

I'm sorry. I dealt with the awful cramps and diarrhea until a week or so ago. It's horrible and I'm sorry you have to go through it.

[christidee]

Yikes! Hopefully you feel better soon. That does not sound fun.

I have never had cheese and spinach!! Omg! I might have to go to Costco. I get Mrs T's plain old cheese ones. What do you put on yours? Today I did pasta sauce but sometimes I just do butter.

They're so good!! They have like 5 flavors at Costco. I like to dip the spinach and cheese ones in Alfredo sauce. Amazing.

biblionerd I was going to ask how the cramps have been for you.

[TrudyCampbell]

eav2c carawestt y'all need REAL pierogies. Fresh, not frozen, and handmade by a plump old Polish lady. My great aunt makes the best ones ever and we have a Polish restaurant here I frequent that's a close 2nd. Mrs Ts are nothing compared to the real ones!

The cramps actually went away for a couple of weeks, the diarrhea continued a bit longer. Now the diarrhea is gone and the cramps are back. :/ I'm being hopeful though that the cramps are temporary since it's so hot and I've been outside a lot so maybe I've been more dehydrated than usual. I just want that 2nd tri normal feeling!!!!

When I worked at the Boys and Girls Club a few years ago, we had 2 little Polish girls and their mom used to bring homemade ones in for me weekly. They were so delicious.

ETA and did miss Brooklyn just say "y'all"??

Ugh I'm sorry! The cramps are so awful. I'm only a week away from 2nd tri so maybe mine will magically disappear! My dr said the uterus grows at a faster rate with subsequent pregnancies, (especially if they're close) making them even more painful. I hate them.

Yeah, I had hardly any cramps the 1st pg, just the "oh no AF is about to start" and then the first few weeks. The second pg was waaaay crampier, but not this bad. I was kind of hoping they weren't going to get worse with each pg!!! Then again I'm already as huge as a house (ok, not really, but definitely don't look 12 weeks pg!) so I figured it was just things moving quicker or something. Plus, 2 c/s already, so who knows what's causing it. 

[charlielove]

I'm sorry cara. I hope you get some relief from all of the crappy (literally!) symptoms soon.

I'm scared for #3 then because these hurt. And, yeah, I know how you feel. I'm the same size now as I was at 20 weeks with Lincoln.

lol. Does my last name not scream Polish to you? DH is 100% polish and I'm 50%! I love REAL perogies and cabalsa (spelling???) but I can't cook!

My aunt made the best. I like sauerkraut too and I tell my H he's not a real polish man because he refuses to eat it! I do wish I lived in a city like NYC where I could introduce C to real food from around the world. Everyone here is bland.
