Symptom Log


*This is a picture of a 22 week old fetus like ours

My symptoms seem to change every 2 weeks or so... some of them are random and others come and go... ideally i wanted to keep track weekly, but seeing as i'm almost through my 2nd trimester, i am grouping them together... not for anyone's benefit but my own (in case you were wondering why you get to read the following personal list :) ):


First Trimester: cramps, bloating, heartburn, constipation, headaches, ravenous appetite, nausea, frequent urination, horrible tasting postnasal drip, nosebleeds, gas, extreme fatigue, forgetfulness (ie, i'm forgetting what a lot of my symptoms were!), food aversion (ie, veggies/salad)


Second Trimester: tired at night, heartburn, constipation, nosebleeds, major congestion/allergies, bleeding gums, restless nights, crazy baby dreams (twice now, i've given birth to kittens), get full easily, aching ligaments and stomach muscles, back pain (gone for now!), one episode of carpal tunnel (random), forgetfulness, dry skin, fast growing and extra strong nails, fast growing belly!, little kicks from bruno (even as i type this!), Braxton Hicks, craving sweets (though that's not unusual), Linea Negra darkening (no stretch marks, yet!), one episode of dizziness, thirsty, mild post-nasal bad taste once in a while..., rapid weight gain--woo hoo! Back Acne and random blemishes



Third Trimester: *** TBD *** :)


update: 3/24/08: More energy than previous months!, bleeding gums, constipation, stronger braxton hicks that last several minutes, random nosebleeds (always blood in my nose), forgetfulness, starting to waddle, hungry and pseudo-hungry a lot!, more easily dehydrated, cravings have been fleeting--mostly for sweets, sugar elevated in urine (oops), lots of strong kicks and rolls by Bruno, heartburn (though the last week it's suddenly less!), No swelling, No stretch marks, No leg cramps or back pain yet! , starting to move slower... my most frequent comment from outsiders, "Woah, you're huge!"
