I think my symptoms were the same as Martha’s. I had so much energy at first, but then the insomnia kicked in and it was so hard to take care of my kids and be over-tired all the time. And being overtired really put me in a bad mood alot. Luckily I got alot of help with my kids because I just couldn’t ’handle’ them for a while. With all my pregnancies I get morning sickness, but on the dex I was hungry all the time too. It was really horrible for me. We were supposed to do an amnio but I couldn’t wait that long and ended up doing a CVS because if there was a chance of getting off of it sooner I wanted that. I never prayed for a boy so much in my life :P I already had stretchmarks from my first 2 kids so I don’t think I got more and overall my weight gain was about the same as for the others.

With all that being said, if we ever got pregnant again I would not hesitate to do it again.
