Ready for 1st tri to be over!!

Well I had quite the morning, woke up around 430 with terrible gas pains tried to ignore them and go back to sleep . . . Didn't work. So I dragged myself to the bathroom and 20 minutes later I am sweating from head t toe through my pjs and all I wanted was to lay on my cold bathroom floor. DH was working and I started to get light headed and my vision fuzzy. I thought I was about to faint ( have only fainted once in my life). Barely made it to the phone to call DH to come home. Within the hour I was fine but talk about scary. Do these things get better or are the next 8 months going to make me crazy?!

So sorry its rough right now!!

Just remember that everyone is different. For me, I was tired, had sore boobs and strange gas pains but everything else was great...no MS or anything!! Around 2.5-3 months I started not sleeping right. I thought the second trimester was going to be really easy but it isn't (for me). I still can't sleep right (and now I sweat an insane amount in the middle of the night) and I have sciatica in both legs! I hope yours gets better!!

Re: Ready for 1st tri to be over!!

I heard that symptoms vary, so it might get better for those symptoms but just change to something just as terrible. I felt my worst probably between 5-9 weeks. I am in my 11th week now. Around week 6 or 7, I remember being SO miserable and feeling like there was no end in sight. I still wake up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat, having to pee, and having trouble getting back to sleep. However, the vomiting and dizziness has mostly stopped. The exhaustion still has not went away. But now I have a really bad cold... runny/stuffy nose- this nasal congestion is just killer and also no appetite and a sore throat. It really stinks. I was finally starting to feel better from all the first trimester stuff... and now I'm sick. Sick and pregnant is the worst. Take care of yourself and stay healthy!!
