What Are Your Symptoms?

tennisbabymama

I saw this in another birth month club and thought it was nice--
Basically go ahead and share how far along you are and any symptoms you've experienced. I've noticed a lot of posts wondering if symptoms are normal (or not normal) and hopefully this can be a place you can go and see that most likely a few of us are also experiencing similar symptoms and you're completely normal.

Ready.... Go!!




I'm 4w4d and so far I've had some mild cramping (this is actually what made me wonder if I was pregnant since I don't cramp hardly ever) Also I've had bloating (Ohhh the bloat. I look like I've let myself go) some breakouts on my face, slight waves of nausea, constipation and "tummy aches" likely due to the constipation. And just the last day or so I can feel that my breasts are heavier and more tender.
Let's see what the rest of my trimester brings!

Hi @tennisbabymama. I think I am about 5 weeks along. I have some mild cramps too and my breasts are a little tender on the sides. I feel good so far and I am excited to be pregnant again. My first baby just turned one last month!

I am just at 6 weeks, and yes the bloat!!! its horrible, all my jeans are tight and i feel like i'm 3 months pregnant by the time i get home. Its hard because I'm 5'9 140lb, so i look pretty lean so any type of bloating makes me look really pregnant, so im been avoiding any clothes that are tight that make me look like i have this huge pooch lol.

But waves of light nausea more this week, and today any type of food sounds pretty gross, so im struggling with how to eat healthy. I have had some on and off lightheadedness and dizziness, but it was only a few days. I do feel super worn out and barely have energry for a walk, let alone working out, which I used to work out everyday so thats tough as well. I had slight cramps around 4-5 weeks but those have gone away.

Almost 5 weeks here and have had some mild cramping and heavier feeling breasts. Also diarrhea...ugh

felixmorgan

6 weeks along...sore breasts, was having cramping and weird skin rash from the sun, still bloated and constipated and morning sickness kicked in a few days ago. The mood swings are terrifying and I'm absolutely miserable.

Daniep08

I think I'm close to 6 weeks, symptoms so far tons of bloating! My face looks like a teenagers face, I'm so broke out. Mild nausea, which is great because with my first two I was super sick, but I guess there is still time for that. Oh and I'm crazy moody, I feel bad for my poor husband

Poppy16

Raging hormones, boobs hurt, very tired all the time, extreme and random hunger (I go from zero to starving in minutes), and elevated heart rate. Like, I lay down to take a nap and I can't sleep because my heart is racing! And I have to pee a lot. Oh, and I'm 6w.

rosalie12

I'm just around 4.5 weeks, and I would answer but I'm too exhausted.


But seriously, I'm extremely tired. Bloating/gas pains, and lower back pain. Increased urinations, heartburn, and some nausea too.

CCLow87

I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow (what?!?) and I burp a lot. Breaks were super sore but have evened out some, now it's basically just my nipples that hurt. And I'm exhausted. I also look a jillion months pregnant. That's about it! My pregnancies are all fairly symptom free.

pinottoparenthood

Just tired and hungry. I have noticed that my boobs feel full, almost like they did when I needed to nurse/pump (not nursing anymore, quit about 10 months ago). No nausea... honestly I still feel really normal. But I'm only 5 weeks!

I hear you on the teenagers face. I'm in the same boat. I haven't had a breakout in over a year and then BAM! My sister had the same thing and her breakouts ended after the first trimester.... Here's to hoping we are the same!!

KatieG2013

I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. The boobs, the bloat, and the breakouts! Also my mood swings are scaring me and driving DH nuts! No cravings, no nausea this week (had it about a week and a half ago). So exhausted every morning. It is such a chore to wake up, and I used to be a morning person!

missssaramarie

I'm 6 weeks 1 day and I am constantly hungry. Like starving all the time. My ladies are sore and bigger. Also lots of gas and fatigue.

DollfaceM

6 weeks + 3 ....insane fatigue...all I do is sleep when im not working, nausea, headaches, always hungry, extremely sore boobs(they've grown too so they are now also heavier), gassy n peeing ALOT

loveinak

Oh, the bloat!! It's crazy.
I'm 6 weeks and I feel like I've had symptoms similar to what everybody posted: greasy/pimpled face, fatigue, nausea, constipation, aversion to pretty much all food, burping, and my boobs have just started to swell and get sore. And crazy mood swings.
I feel like a hot mess!

orangegoggles

Basically just bloat, tiredness, and some slight waves of nausea if I haven't eaten in a few hours. Honestly its hard to tell if its pregnancy related or the progesterone supps I'm on. I did have some breast soreness for about a week but that is gone too. I'm hoping to have an easy pregnancy like I did with my son. 

K&Elizabeth

So. Tired. Seriously, can you say 8:00 bedtime?

babylogan416

This is my second baby I'm 5 weeks today and the morning sickness hit me like a train this morning. For the last few weeks I've had achy breast and slight cramping. The most noticeable is the exhaustion.

Knottie26931538

I'm 6 weeks and have been so bloated, my jeans barely fit! I've also broken out all over my face, I'm still having mild period like cramps that come and go and my boobs, oh my boobs . Even though they look fantastic because they are so full, they hurt so bad, and I am a stomach sleeper and have been unable to sleep on my stomach anymore. Also, some trouble sleeping, and hormones. My poor husband. He's having a hard time grasping that it is hormones and I haven't all of a sudden turned into a crazy B lol. I'm always hungry, but am having a hard time eating healthy. And I feel like I get exhausted after just walking!

Another symptom of being pregnant I have found is my mother in law giving me old crazy advice like: don't wear clothes that are too tight or you will miscarry, don't eat spicy food or you will burn the baby out, stuff like that lol

This is my first pregnancy so I was not sure if any of his is normal

rebelone

I'm 4 weeks and 2 days. I started out with breast tenderness but now I am very gassy, pooping less, cramping, fatigue, backache and dizziness. I just smelled someone's spaghetti in the hallway just now and I wanted to wretch. It smelled very very tomato-ey and it left my nose singed.

herewegoagain3rd

I am somewhere around 4 weeks 6 days with my second. My breast are very heavy and full but only feel tender now and then. I feel like I am hungry and thristy all the time and have some loose stool. Waves of nausea, tried but can't sleep, and get winded super easy. I have cramping all on my left side and last night I have a lot of pain on the inside of my left hip/leg joint. Oh and tmi...I feel like I could O just by thinking about it!!

The thing that gets me is I don't have anything consistently (except maybe the cramping). It comes and goes day by day, hour by hour.

You're so normal. It's my first too though! It helps to read through the responses and realize we aren't crazy that we are actually normal. And everyone's shows symptoms differently too! And I wouldn't take your mother in laws advice TOO seriously....

You are welcome My husband certainly thinks that's the best one...lol

Ready4theParty

Things taste different and I smell everything. Especially the guy at the gym who only washes his clothes once a week. The thought of some food makes me dry heave...today it was banana peppers. This is new, I didn't have that kind of aversion with my first.

klingonboxer

Oh man, I've had cramps for like three weeks, I've been crazy nauseated, and my breasts are gigantic and so uncomfortable. Also I could eat one million beets and pickles right this instant.

ddmm16

I'm 6 weeks and 1 day. At first I was super hungry and thirsty all the time. My breast are so and my nipples are tender! My mild stomach cramps stopped like a week ago. I have heartburn mostly when it's time for bed and I feel soooo uncomfortable trying to sleep on my stomach and I am a stomach sleeper. Very moody and fatigue at its BEST I'm tired when I wake up and go to sleep!

loveymay

I'm 7 weeks 1 day, and have the worst bloating! My weight fluctuates 4-5 pounds between mornings and nights. Its awful, I feel like a cow by the end of the day, and my clothes are so uncomfortable. I would work out if I wasn't so nauseated and drained of energy all the time. Nausea hit really hard this past week, but I've been feeling on and off nauseated since week 5. Also new this week is ravenous hunger. I wake up starving, and I have to eat something asap or I'll start to feel sick. I'm also experiencing food aversions, which is making eating difficult. The thought of my beloved Greek yogurts in the fridge makes me want to puke. Fruit is pretty much the only thing that sounds appealing right now. My boobs are really sore and I'm completely exhausted. I hear things get better in the second trimester, so here's hoping!! I'm ready for my symptoms to be the rainbow glitter shit I always imagined, like glowing beautiful skin and full bouncy hair. So far pregnancy is like PMS on steroids!

Dreams- crazy dreams!

I'm 4 and a half weeks and just started the really sore boobs. If I even bump them on anything I cringe. Nothing much else yet tho.

EAB89

4 weeks along.  Right after conception I had a few symptoms that tipped me off.  Major bloating, fatigue, some nausea.  Crying at the drop of a pin.  But the biggest give away was when my 1 year old refused to nurse at all anymore.  Same thing happened last time I was pregnant.  Apparently the hormones can make your milk taste off to them.    It's so nice to know you're pregnant, and that's why we're having all these not so pleasant symptoms.  They're all for a wonderful cause!

mumidi

5w2d - some slight cramps, sore boobs are fading and tired.  That's about all.  I felt the same my last pregnancy and hoping it stays and I don't develop horrible morning sickness

jonesl12

5w3d excessive thirst and lack of stamina at the gym . I'm getting tired easier so I just have to work through it for a while. 10 hour days at work now feel like 16 !

Cat&Baby

4w and 5d here, cramping, the boobs are so tender and sore, I can't sleep without restricting them. Some arranges pain in my right side the past two days,
Yesterday the bloating was INTENSE!!! I kept having to run to the bathroom to fart( I work in a clothing store)! Burping, and extreme fatigue. After being on my feet all day I crash around 8 pm. Lots of potty trips. Oh, and a really random bloody nose( I don't get those often.

I've just been crabby lately.

What really gets me is that I'm barely pregnant and get these symptoms that are already so intense. It's crazy to me.

I'm starving all morning, but by 5 I have no appetite at all, I hate forcing myself to eat

tennisbabymama

@Cat&Baby Same here. I am 5 weeks tomorrow and already have some intense symptoms. To me it's just a sign that everything is on track, which is comforting this early. Hang in there! We're just a few days apart too  

makeleN

I'm 6 weeks 5 days pregnant and most of the day today I've been having a pain in the right side of my pelvic area. It's not a bad pain but uncomfortable and annoying. And it's been constant all day. I've had no bleeding or spotting so I'm tryin to convince myself everything is ok. Should I be worried?

I also had swollen feet yesterday which I thought was weird as surely it's too soon??? Thinking that's just coz i was in heels all day on my feet

Bloat (water retention) can affect the whole body! Try limiting your sodium intake and it might get a little better

neve26

God. We're to begin. I knew I was pregnant before the tests confirmed it. Sore back. Boobs like lead. And now the burping. The constant burping. I've had weird wee heart rates but doctor doesn't think anything to worry about. Fingers are a bit puffy. Some sickness. It's my first so I think if I so much as cough I'm like "possible symptom??"

I'm 6w 4d and have had a hard time over the past few days. Several weeks ago I felt energized by my pregnancy & was excited. I had some pretty bad cramping for about 14 days around 3-5 wks and started to feel pretty sleepy during the day. The sleepiness has gone away and been replaced by anxiety and just a general feeling of being an emotional trainwreck! I have low motivation and feel sort of hungover. My boobs are very sore and my lower abdomen is feeling bloated and hard to 'suck in'. No vomiting so far (knock on wood!!) but have definitely been queasy and nauseous. It comes and goes. My shoulders, back, and face are breaking out big time. The biggest problem I've had though is that showers became tough for me a couple weeks ago. I like hot showers but end up feeling lightheaded and queasy like I'm going to pass out. So now I kind of dread taking showers and avoid it (gross I know), which is adding to my breakout issues I'm sure! Reading what everyone else is going through definitely helps lift my spirits.

TrishGbb

@makeleN I had right side pelvic pain as well between 3-6wks off and on, no spotting. It's gone away (6w 4d) now.

makeleN

@TrishGbb thanks you so much for easing my mind!!
