1st Trimester

Intro/How are everyone's symptoms so far?

Hi all.  I am 6 wks pregnant, got my BFP at 10dpo and again at 13dpo.  I hope all is going well for everyone.

Anyone want to talk about symptoms?  I know they vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; my intent isnt to cause unnecessary worry for anyone.  I just think sometimes when you get an array of perspectives, it can make women who maybe dont have as many symptoms feel more at ease?

Anyway for me, my breast tenderness started before AF was due and has gotten progressively worse.  I dont have really any morning sickness to speak of, but on occasion I may get a sour stomach if I wait too long to eat and some days my gag reflex is stronger than others (but no vomiting, not even close).  Dull backache with some on and off cramps.  Fatigue, maybe a little constipation...  And thats pretty much it!

H&H 9 mos to everyone!

Re: Intro/How are everyone's symptoms so far?

  • My nipples are so sensitive, anything touching them hurts.  It may sound funny, but I actually put pasties on them them keep anything from rubbing up against them,  Never really thought about how it will feel taking them off, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

    Nausea has NOT been a constant.  I do feel it but it varies on intensity and sometimes is OK others I feel like I want to make myself throw up.  My skin is going through it's own little thing and I am getting more cystic pimples that hurt almost as much as my nipples do.  
  • Yes I have had some acne too, forgot about that.  Thx for sharing!

  • I'm approaching 6 weeks and have been "stressing" but not really since we can't stress in "our conditions" haha over symptoms!  I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea other than some queasiness.  Today was the first day I started to feel something in the boob area, my nipples hurt but that's it so thanks for the idea, wendy, of putting pasties on!  You can actually get ones that shouldn't hurt that much taking them off (I have ones like that).  I've had cramps on and off throughout the days for the past week and the fatigue comes and goes... I could be exervcising at the gym and running errands and then out of nowhere I'm exhausted!! The worst for me.... the gas and the backache!  I have been burping like crazy! And for the past 2 weeks my lower back has not stopped hurting... which really sucks!   

    I just can't wait to go to the dr's this week to see something finally!  I just think it'll really sink in for me at that point.  I ended up taking another pregnancy test this past weekend almost to "make sure" I was still pregnant because I really still can't believe it!
  • I am 5w2d and it's always comforting to hear others talk about similar symptoms. I've been mildly crampy and by back gets more sore from picking up my kids. I am VERY tired but haven't had any nausea. That came for me at 6 weeks-12 for my first 2 pregnancies. Something to look forward to
    Due May 16th with baby #3!
  • I am 7 weeks 3 days and was feeling and looking great until 6 weeks, then I fell apart... Constipation, bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, acne, hungry but poor appetite, moody.

    I feel for my husband.
  • I'm 7wks 1 day and have had it quite easy. A bit of nausea, but nothing I can't handle. Ravenous hunger, evil pain boobs, a bit of constipation, extra peeing (mostly in the afternoon/evening) and more fatigue to the point of falling asleep on the sofa every night. I had some back pain at around 5 weeks but now I just get a bit of pressure. I got my BFP at 4wks 4 days, but that's because I knew I was pg so didn't bother testing until late. It was a formality really so I could go to the dr. I just knew I was pg and I was right. I only took the 2nd test in the packet because it was a waste of money not to.

  • I am 11 weeks, and felt fine until halfway through 7 weeks. Now I am SO TIRED all the time. It's worse right now because I have some allergy issues (or a cold?). I also get nauseous but no throwing up.
  • According to my calculations I am 4 weeks and 5 days.  I just went for bloodwork this evening to see what my HCG levels are.  Later on this week, I will go to the Dr to find out how exactly far I am.  This is my 2nd baby, the only symptom I've had was dizziness.  I had two dizziness episodes last week while working out.  Saturday I had a really bad dizzy spell to the point of where I almost fainted.  That's the only reason why I took a test.  Around 3pm the past two days I've been getting super tired.  Other than that, so far, those are the only symptoms I'm having.

     

    I am not savvy with the abbreviations yet.  What's BFP and dpo?

  • I am approaching 6 wks. My boobs were hurting but not as bad as last week, I have had some dizzy spells, fatigue, frequent urination, and constipation. I only get nausea if I wait too long between meals

  • kelly my symptoms are very similar to yours.  it seems that for many the symptoms will kick in around 7+ weeks.  thx for sharing everyone!
  • I'm 16 weeks now but all my symptoms started at 6 1/2... They hit hard then! I started having awful nausea and vomiting, no appetite, unfortunately I was dehydrated more often than I should have been, I was so tired I couldn't do anything, and my breasts were very sore. Oddly enough, everything went away except the nausea and vomiting. The 2 symptoms that I want to go away won't! I can deal with the rest of it but this is getting old!

  • nausea - check.
    backache - check.
    cramping - check.
    perpetual fatigue - check.
    sore/erect nipples - check.

    on the up side, I'm fortunate to be enjoying some of the happier symptoms: glowing skin and endless amazing hair-days. *knocks on wood*
  • I am 7 weeks 3 days and was feeling and looking great until 6 weeks, then I fell apart... Constipation, bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, acne, hungry but poor appetite, moody. I feel for my husband.
    This was me in a nutshell. I'm at 12 weeks now and just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 
  • So glad you posted this!  I am 6w3d and have no symptoms.  I guess it's a blessing (for obvious reasons) but it's definitely a curse in the sense that I'm just worried about the lack thereof.  Our first early u/s said that everything is progressing as it should, but I'm still a wreck.  
  • mimaloo and brooke, i dont really have any nausea.  a couple days there i had some moments but it really wasnt anything major.  no vomiting, nothing.  i am 6 wks 3-4 days today and had an US that showed all is well, but the lack of symptoms can be tough on our pregnant worried minds!
  • I'm 4 weeks 5 days and the past two days get little waves of not quite nausea but a yuck feeling. The tiredness comes and goes... And nipples have not been as sore the last few days. I do have some terrible gas though!! Tmi! Lol

  • @wendylouwhoknew My nipples were like that during my first pregnancy, starting around 9 weeks. I switched super early to nursing bras. The padded cup bra from Motherhood is the best. They're soft and slick on the inside (to keep from irritating nursing-chapped nips), and they're padded so my clothes didn't rub or put pressure on my nipples. They were AMAZING.
