Pregnancy at 14 weeks, side effects..?

Question

I am past the horror of the 1st trimester sickness, and all, but now I'm starting to get other side effects (and I'm positive there are much more to come!) and just wanted to know if anyone else got thesse ones and if they are normal...
1.) Lower appetite... my appetite seems to be getting less from what it was these past weeks... I would think it should have been getting bigger!!!
2.) Nipples... I understand that my breasts are producing milk, but my nipples have sort of white "discharge" i guess you would call it on the ends. They aren't leaking at all, just have white stuff dryed on the ends that I can clean off. Wierd.
3.) Hot flashes on the back of my neck. (that one seemed pretty normal to me.)
4.) And waking up at like 3:30Am like clockwork feeling like I haven't eaten in weeks! mmmm... midnight snack.

Answer 1

Yep, they all sound very normal to me. My appetite did the reverse though but for my sister hers slowed down a bit. Everyone is different. Your breast seem like they will start to leak soon so keep an eye out for that. I started leaking at about 18 weeks and now I have to wear pads in my bra. Hot flashes and headache are all too common and waking up at the butt crack of dawn because you are starving is so normal. I felt like I couldn't eat enough for this baby, lol. You are doing well and seem to be growing a normal baby. Congrats to you and good luck!!! You are almost half way there!!!

Congrads. I am only a week behind you, this is my second baby and I'm very excited.
The one thing that I can tell you is each pregnancy is different. As for the appetite. Try to make every calorie count (for the best) if you are eating less. Even though you are not hungary the baby probably is. As for the nipples and hot flashes, I would talk to my doctor and express your concerns to them. Waking up at 3:30 like clockwork, everyone's body is diffferent.

Answer 3

Well, my appetite didn't come back until after I was about 14 weeks also, so I didn't hardly eat until after my morning sickness was completely gone. I still wake up in the middle of the night now at 19 weeks.

Answer 4

I am 12 weeks and 3 days and i have 1-3 side effects but when I wake up in the middle of the night its not to eat... I have to pee all the time. It is strange what our bodies can do. I

Answer 5

I experienced all of these things except for the neck thing. It seems like the further I get the lesser my appetite is, I think its because my stomach is getting squished! I try to eat smaller meals frequently. The middle of the night thing drives me nuts!

undergo in innovations that the NuvaRing does have hormones in it, and that they okay could be providing you with the pointy pains. I had that as quickly as i became on it. comparable with the breast tenderness. bear in mind that the hormones in beginning administration are making your physique think of you're pregnant, that could clarify facet consequences like those. Do take a being pregnant attempt tho, they stumble on quite early on while you're certainly pregnant.
