What's new? How far along are you? Anything unusual going on? Anyone starting to feel better yet?

FreeTheElf

I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow. This past weekend I had lower stomach pain. Feels like a stitch when I move wrong or move too much. I've had some cramps during this pregnancy...but hoping these pains are just growing pains! Definitely not starting to feel better - if anything, the morning nausea is getting steadily worse. Hopefully only a month left of this!

I'm 7wks 3 days and my symptoms are about the same as last week. Waves of nausea, still super tired and my boobs hurt. I have good days and bad days. I hope it doesn't last too long. @FreeTheElf I have been having some pains like that too.

8w1d.  I feel nausea all the time and shaky.  My acupuncturist even mentioned it last week.  Maybe it's my blood sugar, I don't know.  Exhausted, my body just does not want to move.

Nothing really new, still nausea & sore boobs from last week. Sometimes I get those stitch pains too @FreeTheElf I just try to slow down or sit for a bit if possible when I feel them. They usually don't last too long. 

Does anyone else with nausea have trouble when brushing your teeth? When I spit it makes me gag (at first I thought it was brushing my tongue but nope just the spitting motion it seems) and then half the time I've vomited after lately which makes me brush my teeth again and it's a nasty cycle....

Yes! I've had to switch to brushing after breakfast, when I used to do it first thing in the morning. 

I'm 10 weeks today, and I'm plugging along with the nausea and exhaustion. This is my first pregnancy, but I'm also having what sounds like round ligament pain, even though I know according to most calendars it is way too early.

I'm 9 weeks Wednesday and feel ill all day. Haven't thrown up at all yet thankfully as I'm scared that will make me feel worse. All I would love to do would be to stay in bed and watch tv. I am flying in two weeks and am so nervous for it. I've never flown pregnant before.

I thought I was a weirdo because as soon as my toothbrush hits my mouth, I start gagging. 

varimama

Thanks @Xstatic3333 I'll try to only brush after breakfast. Now that you mention it, the times I have actually thrown up are when I've done it before breakfast, otherwise I just gag. 

Well maybe we're both just weirdos @bdesterhouse. 

My poor DH, we usually brush teeth at the same time and now he has to deal with me just gagging through it.

I'm 9w4d. 

Nausea is is not so bad. Certain foods and smells make me gag but my nausea really just comes and goes and I tend to feel better after I snack. 

I think my biggest symptom at the moment is exhaustion. It hasn't let up in the last 3 weeks and doesn't look like it's going to anytime soon. I could nap an hour after I wake up. Seems crazy to me! 

migdala

7w1d and I hate the way my mouth tastes. All the time. Mints don't help, mouthwash doesn't help, nothing helps. It tastes like I haven't brushed my teeth in 3 years.

8 weeks 2 days here, and oh the nausea. It just keeps getting worse and worse, and it pretty much lasts all day long. I try to eat crackers, sip on ginger ale, suck on hard candies....it barely helps. I feel like I'm going to be in my first trimester forever and that I'm going to be nauseous for the rest of my life (there are the irrational pregnancy hormones showing up...). Not having a problem with brushing my teeth, but I can't stand being in the kitchen, and opening the fridge always feels like a mistake. Boobs are still sore, but not as much as before, or maybe I'm just getting used to it?!? I feel like I should invest in some comfy bras for sleeping....any recommendations?

WinchesterGirl

I am either nauseous or throwing up pretty much constantly. Work is horrible, as I feel too sick to concentrate, and somehow sitting at a desk makes it worse. I am getting somewhat better at telling when it's going to be a very bad day - those days I throw up before I can even take a sip of water or brush my teeth. 

I am also feeling like this will last forever. Surely this will end soon?!?!

10w5d. I have bad days and worse days. My nausea comes at night. I never experienced this with DD so it's a whole new experience. Ugh. I probably puke at least once or twice a night. 

PerraSucia

10W tomorrow.  Can't stop throwing up, dizzy and I smell bad.  I puke like 3-5 times a day and if i'm not puking i'm gorging on foods. 

I fucked up and ran out of PIO and need to get emergency drugs today.  The pharmacy is like I dont know 90 minutes away

SweetT

Nothing sounds good. Everything I consider eating makes me gag. I have to force the first few bites because if I don't eat I get really nauseous. Usually after a bite or two I'm fine but I have to like psych myself up to start eating. 

Gretchypoo

8w3d here. nauseated and ditto on teeth brushing issues! Fatigue, sore breasts and crying jags but I'm mostly happy :-)

SawyerRichardson

8w6d. I've gone about a week without nausea, so that is looking up. Then I thought I pulled a muscle in my leg about 2 weeks ago, but it turns out I've punched my sciatic nerve. When it flares up I can barely walk at all. So I was on the couch 24/7 for 2 weeks with nausea, and now because I can't walk. So much for being healthy during pregnancy!

I am 10 weeks tomorrow. I am exhausted but still can't sleep. I feel nauseated much of the time but I am not throwing up. Food aversions seem to be getting worse. I have an awful cold but somehow my super sense of smell isn't affected. I pray my sense of smell doesn't get stronger.

The lumps from the pio injections in my butt/back are huge and painful. Nothing helps. I am bleeding a lot when the needles come out and there are no good spots left to inject. I am thankful I should only have to do this 2 more weeks. 

I am thankful I am not throwing up like many others are. I hope you all feel better soon. I can't imagine how you get by each day.

I'm 7weeks along now, and I'm still mostly tired and cranky. I will say that in the past couple of days though I've had small hints of nausea; last night I felt particularly gross, but still not to the point of throwing up. My boobs are being really weird lately though, like sometimes they're sensitive(mostly around the nipple area), and then they're not again. The way it was described to me about breast pain around this time is that it's supposed to be excruciating all the time, so I really don't know what's going on there.

MrsDramaK

Food Aversion is real, and the thought of eating is nauseating, but if I don't eat I get more nauseated.  Vicious cycle.

Also the boobs hurt, but DH is fascinated with them.

kjd291

I'm so nauseous all day, and inknow i make it worse because I have added anxiety about feeling nauseous and not wanting to throw up.  Last pregnancy I tossed my cookies 3-4times a day, round the clock. YES! Often trying to brush my teeth.  So I'm dreading as I get farther along the nausea will progress ((I'm 7wks now) so I know I have a long few weeks to go before I'm out of the woods.

Headaches. So many headaches. 
This was my biggest symptom when I was pregnant with my son too

Try soaking in an Epsom salt bath. I had very bad headaches with my first and they gave me a magnesium supp. If you have MS it could help with that as well. I hope you start feeling better!

@mjsommer
Thanks! No MS at all, just headaches. I will try the Epsom salt bath!

mrslittlemac

+1 for the epsom salt baths. Has become part of my nightly routine at this point.

Some increase in nausea this past weekend - but not to the point of thinking I'll vomit. Some aches that I think are round ligament pain - usually only when I cough. The rest of the aches are likely constipation. My face also feels greasy.

This is how bad smells are bothering me today: crock pot banned to the back yard lol 

Babymakes5!

9 weeks Friday. Can not stop puking. The diclectin, zofran, gravol, and some other acid reducing pill aren't fixing it. I miss myself. I haven't seen her in weeks. I'm a crappy mom, crappy wife, my house is a wreck, ive missed my sons first two swimming lessons and I just need this to end now. I feel ungrateful and guilty and terrible

SweetT

@Starfish113 I'm on my way to hang out poolside.  Don't get me a plate I'll eat right out of the crockpot.

It's ALL YOURS!!

@Babymakes5! Creepy internet hugs. 

I in general do not feel well (nausea) and am in the exhausted club. I know it gets better but I am so ready to get to that point.

All of this. Especially the husband part

I'm 7 weeks and haven't had many symptoms.  Boobs are a little tender and are a little bigger already   they are big enough to begin with.
I have had a bit of mild cramping on/off but not as bad as my previous 2 pregnancies.  I am very thirsty all the time but haven't had much nausea or sickness.  i've had a few times were tiredness hit me out of nowhere and i just had to have a nap.  No chance with the 2 little ones running around so i just close my eyes and try a rest not a sleep.

I've had bouts of nausea, but today was the first day MS was in full swing with puking.  Not fun, but I keep trying to find the positive (at least it means I'm pregnant?!)

I threw up for the first time yesterday. Previously I would just get really nauseous on an empty stomach, and if I had a snack, it would help somewhat. I started feeling sick before lunch so I had some cherries and went on my way. I had a big coconut curry soup with chicken and extra vegetables and as soon as I left the restaurant I started feeling hot and queasy. I barely made it back to my building before going to the bathroom and power puking everything away. Then I felt hungry, sick, and shaky, but was unable to eat anything until much later. And, weirdly enough, today I'm feeling great. Not nauseous or even that tired! How weird. Does anybody else have symptoms that just seem to come and go like that?

Oh dear, I suppose I can add full on Morning Sickness to my list of symptoms now. I threw up in the employee washroom at my local "Source" store this afternoon. So. Freaking. Mortified.

LaurenAshley04

Mostly just tired, partially because I randomly wake up in the middle of the night. Around 3-4 am ☹️ We get up at 6 so by the time I get settled back in I've lost over an hour. Last night I even woke the toddler up some how

I'm not sure if this is really a symptom, but is anyone just feeling more antisocial than usual?  I am usually a total social butterfly, but these days I just don't want to be around anyone.  My ILs and my parents just came over to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it took me about five minutes to run upstairs in tears because I just don't want to be around any of them.  I'm not nuts about my ILs, but I can usually buck up around them, and I'm usually delighted to spend time with my parents.  I'm finding that being around a bunch of people just makes me really anxious and unhappy and that is NOT me.

I can kind of identify. I'm usually very social and active, but lately I just want to watch Netflix, even on the days when I'm feeling okay. I just feel different in some ways. It's hard to explain, but I think it's partly because being pregnant temporarily lops off a couple of big parts of my life that I really see as part of my identity.
