Pregnant and 35 New/Intro

in Pregnant after 35
Well here I am again, but this time 35! Ha ha, I have been trying for some time, experienced loss and heart ache as I am sure a lot of you can relate. I gave up trying actually, so this is a huge surprise. I am currently 4 going on five weeks pregnant. My symptoms are very strange: At three weeks, my exhaustion and pregnancy brain fog started my suspicion and I have the worst head ache all the time, and I am out of breath like I have already been running.  My clothes are already fitting snug but maybe this is what happens when we reach 35 and pregnant! My symptoms feel different then what I was expecting for being so early. Anyways, if you have any suggestions on how to treat headaches that would be great. Glad to be part of the group and travel on this journey with people my age. :)

    Welcome and congratulations! The only tip I have about symptoms is to sleep when you can! I pass out on the couch by 8:30 most evenings. :)

    Welcome and congratulations! For your headache try rubbing the webs of your feet just where the toes meet the foot. It's a Chinese medicine trick;)

    Congrats and welcome! I also had bad headaches in first trimester. Honestly they were probably my first pregnancy symptom (along with an inexplicable desire to eat only Mexican food) at 3.5 weeks. Lots of sleep, water, and small amounts of caffeine (1cup of tea or a small coffee) helped. But they definitely didn't go away until about 10 weeks.

    Congratulations and welcome!  I had lots of early symptoms, too.  Headaches didn't hit me until the nausea went away, close to the second trimester.  Rest, water, tylenol and showers help me.
