Yeah I love all the activity. 

A lot of my joint pain and cramping has gone away. I still get it every once in awhile. I tend to only get nausea when I'm hungry so I try to keep food in my stomach and that helps. I'm starting to get some energy back, but do notice when I do to much. 

Since this is my second I'm way more laid back this time around. Unless I sit there and start thinking about the what ifs. So I try and not do that. 

I knew I had an easy pregnancy with my son but I'm starting to realize how easy. I have all theses symptoms that I did not get until my third trimester last time. But I'm already feeling it. I'm a little worried what this third trimester is going to be rough. My bladder has already decreased in size or at least that's how it feels. I have to get up at least once in the night and then I'm stuck awake for at least an hour which then I find myself hungry and have to eat. My back is already killing me. But it's all worth it, right? 

Meredith What an awesome resource you have in your mom. My mom and sister have always been real handy when I have questions as well. 

Katie it sounds like you have a lot of the same symptoms as me especially the nausea when hungry and aversions to food I used to love. 

Amber I can't imagine having diabetes while I was pg that's my biggest fear is to get gd. Diabetes runs strong in my family.

Can morning sickness last all day? I have been absolutely miserable ALL DAY! I just want to go home and curl up in my bed. I've eaten some today, all small snacks but I forced myself to do it. Nothing is helping. 

I have been so paranoid the last few days, my symptoms come and go like I was having cramping in my lower abdomen on my left side, which my previously pregnant friends tell me that is totally normal and its just my ligaments pulling and streching. Then today I havent really had any cramping, just peeing a lot and really tender bb's just on the sides though. I really didnt feel too nauseous today which is a good thing, I am only five weeks so im sure there will be many days of nausea in my furture. I just keep worrying that something is wrong, im so fearful of a miscarriage because my mom had one before she had me, my best friend has had two, and a lot of people I know have had one also. It is my biggest fear, I just want a healthy baby!

Haley I forgot about the sea bands! I've been wearing them too! I wore them as a kid for car sickness. 

Katie: hopefully you do have sprat if nausea and its not every day. That's a good sign that it will be short lived and not throughout your whole pregnancy. 

Im still waiting for my first appointment in 2 weeks. I technically have two that day one with the nurse and then the dr with an ultrasound. I'm really hoping they will do an abdominal u/s rather then the internal vaginal u/s. I have a tilted uterus so it was extremely uncomfortable last time. I'm pretty sure she will send me for a blood draw afterward just like she did last time. 

Amber: do the sea bands help you?

I'm really getting tired of the stuffy nose as well as constant runny nose. I know they are normal symptoms of being pg. I just hope it goes away soon it's really annoying.
