I am 16 weeks now and have vaginal swelling, irritation and burning from the beginning. Doc says no infections, std's, etc.. I'm very scared this won't ever go away.

I have had horrible vulva irritation and burning since the beginning. But no infection or stds or weird discharge! Very scared, I wish someone else had these symptoms and can tell me it gets better after pregnancy!!!!!

I am 11 weeks preg. I developed a rash all over my abdomen and on hips about a week ago. Very itchy, just looks like a skin allergy maybe to a detergent. Except I was using what I always use, and I had hardly eaten anything (cereal, salad) that day. I noticed it because I kept scratching... but by refraining from scratching it is seeming to go away. Today so far was the best day. Weird.

I'm 14 weeks along and my weird symptom is that I feel like I don't urinate enough. I mean, it doesn't seem like I'm matching the amount I drink (and I drink a lot of water to try to prevent water retention). I don't have swelling in my ankles or hands or anything. That's the only symptom that I can't find any info on.

I'm 11 weeks and feeling much better then I was. Sweating has come to a tolerable level, and I've figured out Corn Flakes is the best food for hunger pangs. I'm tired most of the time. I sneeze a lot, carpal tunnel has really shown itself in both arms. All smells really bother me. And I feel quite miserable most of the time. I'm being honest. Someone please reccomend some food ideas that might sound approachable. I'm having the worst time with my appetite; as I don't have one but am hungry all the time. I also had to get a prescription for nausa because nothing was staying down, including stomach bile.

I am 11 weeks now and feeling quite different from my other two boys. My belly is big and qualifies for an 18 weeks. It's hard to wake up in the morning. I have become slow and cannot get anything done well and quickly as I used to, but i guess it's normal given the circumstances. I have to nap in the afternoons no mater where I am. I love crisps, peanuts and cold juices even though I eat pretty much anything.
