Re: Weekly Symptoms Thread 8/2
1. Weeks / EDD: 5 weeks, 6 days.
2. How are you feeling in general? Just kinda crummy.flashes of nausea with no actual vomiting, hot flashes, blech.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? So, so, tired. So very tired.
4. What is helping? Not much but sleep!
ETA: Just kidding! A literal hour and a half later, and the first actual vomit happpened.
2. How are you feeling in general? Tired but fine otherwise
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? That I don't have any? Famous last words? I'm really trying to not let it get to me because it's still early, but it has me bugging out a little. Waiting on my second beta from this morning, so hoping for good numbers.
4. What is helping? Nothing is really helping my general anxiety around this pregnancy but that's not really a symptom
TTC #1 - Nov '14
DS born 10/18
2. How are you feeling in general? Pretty okay, with intermittent waves of crappy and tired. Boobs are expanding at an alarming rate.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Definitely the boob thing. They feel they are full of tiny, angry badgers.
4. What is helping? An extra pillow and a sense of humour.
I'm TIRED. Bone - numbing exhaustion and my dreams are like acid trips.
None of my symptoms bother me. With DS2 I thanked my lucky stars with every vomit session. The symptoms ease the anxiety so i always welcome them.
@missteacherlady16 I didn't have symptoms with my first son. I was ugly crying on the phone to my mom about how I didn't feel pregnant when she pointed out that ugly crying about lack of symptoms was in fact a symptom because I was an emotional wreck. Then BAM 8 weeks hit and I was sick as a dog.
How are you feeling in general? I've been very tired and a little grumpy but overall pretty darn good.
What is your most bothersome symptom right now? Oh its a seizure toss up between the bloating I'm experiencing or the heartburn at the end of the day....
What's helping? A pint of ice cream and warm baths.
*edited typos
1. Weeks / EDD: 5w5d / EDD: Oct 5
2. How are you feeling in general? Exhausted. Absolutely exhausted. I haven’t been this tired since I had mono in high school. I think I need to call my doctor about an iron supplement because I am thinking my iron is low.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Exhaustion and super sore boobs.
4. What is helping? My husband! He has been amazing the past few days.
2. How are you feeling in general? Overall normal, symptoms come and go. Have had little episodes of nausea (no vomiting) mostly before I get hungry, tired, on and off sore boobs/nipples and some cramping/bloating (with no spotting thank goodness)
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? That my symptoms are not consistent. I am generally a worrisome person but this pregnancy had brought out the full on anxiety. Just trying to relax and not stress myself out. Waiting for my first appointment on 3/3 has been hell! At least it is now less than a month away!
4. What is helping? DH really helps when we are home together but when I am at work nothing helps because it is just me and my thoughts. Sigh...

Jackson born 5/6/17 at 8:36 PM - 9lbs 5oz & 21in
Weeks/EDD: 4+1; EDD 10/16
How are you feeling in general? I feel absolutely fine, no symptoms yet. I always wish I had more symptoms just to ease my mind. I did pick a fight with DH yesterday, and after calming down, realized that most of it was probably the hormones talking, so there's that.
What is your most bothersome symptom right now? nothing really
What's helping? n/a see above
***on a side note, maybe we're too early into this, but just wondering if we had plans to start a daily "ticker change" thread? I know we did this on my last BMB (and I see Sept. '16 does it as well). I think it's easier to follow along with symptoms, questions, appts, etc with those who are on the same week as you. Just a thought (and if this was already discussed I apologize, I just moved over here this weekend!)***
2. How are you feeling in general? Very fatigued. Mostly during afternoon/evening, but this morning getting up was a struggle. Increased hunger and thirst, and peeing all of the time. Bloated and my weight goes up and down daily for no apparent reason. Slightly sore boobs that are slowly inflating lol. Cramping has decreased a lot which is nice. Nausea is still rare and only when I go to long without eating ... which is now only a couple hours!
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? In general, probably bloating (my pants are uncomfortable, even some leggings and sweats), and fatigue. I had a migraine last week that I think was caused my pregnancy hormones, and that was absolutely the worst by far.
4. What is helping? Eating regularly but not overeating, drinking TONS of water and tea, pushing myself to exercise because I feel better when I do, but also resting when I need it. Going to bed super early.
It's a boy!
1. Weeks / EDD: 5w6d edd 10/4
2. How are you feeling in general? The nausea. Dear god the nausea has arrived. It's all day. That and my boobs feel like they want to explode
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? The nausea. Last night I burped and threw up stomach acid. Vomit #3 on the weekend
4. What is helping? Preggo pop drops and trying to only eat what sounds good so basically dry Cheerios and peppermint tea

1. I'm 6w1d, 10/2/16
2. Feeling queasy! It's not as bad as with some of my previous pregnancies and I feel better when I eat. My boobs are sore this week, the constipation is gone but the bloat- I still look 3 months pregnant.
3. The nausea really bothers me the most but I'm thankful it's not worse. It just wears me down mentally.
4. My nausea remedies this time: unisom at night, sleeping 10 hrs/night, prenatal vitamin that's supposed to reduce nausea, Pink Stork's cocolaurin, magnesium spray, and probiotics, and sea bands. I don't know what's helping and what's not, but overall it's better than it has been in previous pregnancies.
2. How are you feeling in general? Pretty good!
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Sore boobs. My lack of symptoms is making me anxious, but I really should just enjoy it while it lasts.
4. What is helping? Knowing I am not the only one with hardly any symptoms. I cannot wait for my appt 2/23

1. Weeks / EDD: 6w1d...due Oct 2
2. How are you feeling in general? Boobs still sore, tired...like barely can get off the couch and at work feel like a zombie. I almost fell asleep at my desk. Waves of nausea, gagging episodes on and off but no actual vomiting yet. My husband got me a puke bag from his work flight this week just in case.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Just having no energy, I really want to work out but can't get myself to go...it's been a week since I've worked out.
4. What is helping? My husband is trying to be supportive. I've been eating crackers and sprite seems to settle my stomach. Taking naps!! Without one I would of never stayed awake watching the super bowl yesterday.
2. How are you feeling in general? Pretty good! A little tired but not bad yet.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Gas! I stink. It's unfortunate.
4. What is helping? Trying to keep my distance from other humans!
2. How are you feeling in general? I was great until Sunday, see below.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Felt SUPER bloated, crampy, constipated, couldn't eat without pain. Then vomiting later. I have Crohn's disease (gastrointestinal mayhem) and my only guess is my bowel slowed down so much from the relaxin (a hormone) that I got somewhat of a paralytic ileus. Not fully obstructed. I hate these issues though. I still feel awful.
4. What is helping? Not eating
5 weeks / 10.10
2. How are you feeling in general?
im feeing good this week. The nausea has subsided for now which was no fun.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now?
Sore nipples and fatigue. I need a nap and to go to bed early every day!
4. What is helping?
Sleep is the best right now
1. Weeks / EDD: 10-6-16, 5+4
2. How are you feeling in general? Tired, hungry, but feeling generally positive about this pregnancy.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Sore boobs that fluctuate and I hate it! I'd rather they be sore 24/7 than to wake some mornings barely being sore. They do get more painful as the day goes on, and I'm always squeezing them to check. H thinks it's hilarious. Other than that, I get hungry but never know what to eat. Nothing sounds good usually and it's so hard to figure out what I want. Oh, and also, acne! Ughhhhh it's really hard for me to look at my face.
4. What is helping? Just sleeping and sports bras and drinking lots of water hoping to flush out my skin.

2. How are you feeling in general? Feeling great! Absolutely no symptoms and I surprisingly have a lot of energy.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? See above
4. What is helping? See above
Question.. I've had a little bit of brown spotting this morning. Only once this morning and it's stopped. Any one else having spotting too?
2. How are you feeling in general? Meh. Symptoms come and go. I'm tired, randomly queasy, boobs hurt on and off, bloated, crazy dreams, really thirsty and moody. Oh! And I constantly feel like a headache is coming on but it never actually arrives.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Not one in particular. I wish they'd be consistent though. PGAL brain sucks.
4. What is helping? Relaxing.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Feeling great, actually! Seem to have a symptom of bliss and a sweet, deeper connection to my husband. Feel like I'm finally starting to accept that this pregnancy is real and might actually stick and resuly in a BABY in the fall - holy crap!!
3. Most bothersome symptom is daily headaches - bleh.
4. What's helping is lots and lots of water, resting whenever I feel even slightly tired, and ice on my
neck when the headache gets really bad.
Sidenote: I flew today and got to have my first security scan opt-out - so excited! I got to say, "I'm pregnant, I need to skip the scan." So fun - haha!
2. How are you feeling in general? Generally I'm doing good. I suffered an early MC back in 2013, so trying not to think about the nerves is the hardest part right now. I have a couple minor symptoms, but nothing that is interfering with my daily routines.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? My lower back cramping at night. It feels like it culminates at the end of the day and it makes relaxing after work really difficult.
4. What is helping? My fiancé has been amazing and has been giving me nightly back massages, which so far help me get to sleep. They haven't been bad enough to keep me up all night, but they are annoying.
2. How are you feeling in general? Awesome, but I'm counting the days until morning sickness hits. I've been more tired, but nothing major. I enjoy a good nap anyway, so it's not bothering me at this point.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Terrified, almost anxious about morning sickness. I was just absolutely miserable from weeks 6-18ish last time vomiting multiple times a day, and I really am scared about going through it again. Feeling sick that long is bad not only physically but mentally too. I was borderline depressed during that time, and now I have dd to take care of. I'm hoping it isn't as bad or long this time around. But seriously, terrified.
4. What is helping? Trying to really enjoy quality time with dd right now. And enjoy food lol. I feel for those of you going through ms now, hope you find relief soon!
2. How are you feeling in general? Good for the most part! Mostly tired, sore boobs, and frequent urination, the usual. I've only had a handful of days with queasiness, although I got nauseous while food shopping today. I think the sight of all that food got to me.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Right now I'm battling allergies I think. Very congested with on and off headache.
4. What is helping? We got the dehumidifier out last night and I think it helped break up some of the congestion.
2. How are you feeling in general? Tired. Very tired. My TSH came back at 15.79... whoops! T3/T4 were low normal, so I think we caught it early. They upped my dose of thyroid meds, and the fatigue should be getting better. My boobs have nearly outgrown the new bra I bought. WTF. And I'm nauseous as all get out, but won't actually throw up. Obnoxious.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? All of it? Mostly the nausea. Working night shift nauseous kind of sucks.
4. What is helping? Sleep for the fatigue, and taking my upped dose of meds. Nothing for the boobs. Sometimes I sleep in my bra, it hurts so much to take it off. Been going with candied ginger for the nausea, which helps a great deal.

BFP! EDD 8/1/2019 CP 4w2d
2. How are you feeling in general? Pretty crummy but it's on and off, nausea and dry heaving but no actual vomit yet.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Headaches, those lousy pregnancy headaches
4. What is helping? Water and lying down in a dark room once my hubby comes home
Feeling kinda lousy; kind of like I am hungover all the time. No vomiting but nauseous and tired.
Most bothersome symptom is being tired all the time and what helps are naps.
2. How are you feeling in general? Like poo! Tired, hungry, gassy, constipated.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? probably the gassy, constipated part...it just really sucks!
4. What is helping? Nothing...everything I eat no matter what it is seems to make me gassy...I just don't understand
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
im really sleepy, hungry all the time, bloated like crazy (I look like I'm 15 weeks pregnant already) I hate the bloat!!! And I feel like I'm going to throw up but have not yet.
being really sleepy all the time. I have two under 4 so no naps for me.
Nothing helps but I have been going to bed really early.
2. How are you feeling in general? Like clockwork, started feeling sick yesterday. Constant state of wanting to throw up. Blah.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Feeling like I'm going to throw up. But I can't. 3rd pregnancy in a row.
4. What is helping? Sleeping, eating saltines, not moving (my poor children have gotten minimum care today and I know that will continue...
Son 4/27/12, Son 10/15/14, Daughter 9/29/16....Baby #4 due 10/09/19! Apparently we get really bored in January
2. How are you feeling in general? Happy yet exhausted, sore boobs, and now nauseous
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? It's a close call...but since I could sleep now if I wanted, I'd say nausea because I'm hungry and not sure what to do about dinner!
4. What is helping? Preggy pops, ginger ale, light/healthy/frequent snacks, lots of water, extra sleep
Generally I'm feeling ok except just so worn down and so tired. My average cleaning fervor is muted and if I get everyone fed, dressed and functional throughout the day lately that's a win.
I am surprised to have heartburn already?!
What is helping: small meals, and sadly-- minimizing how much coffee I drink.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
1. Weeks / EDD: edd 10/13
2. How are you feeling in general?
not too bad
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now?
I feel like I got kicked in the crotch so wearing pants is very uncomfortable
4. What is helping?
Other than no pants?? Nothing really
1. Weeks / EDD: 6 weeks 10/3
2. How are you feeling in general? Worst hangover of my life! Plus boobs that are sore.
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Nausea...I have had the dry heaves today. I felt nauseous all day. I had waves but had been able to keep it under control not today. My first pregnancy I didn't pike until delivery. Last time had a couple of episodes of dry heaves and vomit but it was like Get sick feel better.
4. What is helping? So far nothing today. I drove home holding bag because of the dry heaves.
TTC #1 - Nov '14
DS born 10/18
2. How are you feeling in general? I'm getting over a cold so I have nasal congestion. Definitely more tired than usual. Some soreness/tightness in my boobs, and some intermittent queasiness. Headache today that Tylenol actually seemed to help (usually it requires ibuprofen, which is obviously a no-go now.)
3. What's your most bothersome symptom right now? Bloating/stomach ache makes me worry about miscarriage - I think I can mostly tell the difference between digestive and uterine cramps, but paranoia kicks in.
4. What is helping? Eating! Also, being lazy, but since I'm normally super lazy and try to minimize my effort, it's hard to reduce it more.
Overall feeling: I hate everything. Morning sickness, bloating, pain insomnia. This is 100 times worse than with my toddler.
Worst symptom: violent pukes, all day every time I eat or drink. I have pulled so many muscles by vomiting.
Help? none, I can not function. Oh and orange Gatorade, I can stomach that slowly.
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
2) Mood swings, boobs are huge and sore, nausea and bloat. Anxiety about the pregnancy.
3) Bloat and boobs make finding clothes that fit difficult. Feel so badly that I have been short with DH.
4) Eating small frequent meals has helped the nausea. Focusing on positive community threads, Pinterest for nursery ideas and checking out pregnancy apps have helped the anxiety.
