How's it going, ladies?

PattersRN

So. Exhausted.  I fought everything to not go to bet at 6pm yesterday.  I went to bed at 7. I barely did anything this weekend!  Now I'm lying awake at 2:30 with nausea.  I started on the vitamin b6/unisom regimen, but it doesn't seem to completely work.

I am so constipated.  Ouch!

kjd291

I'm exhausted constantly, nauseated at every smell, so so emotional I spent most of yesterday crying and/or arguing with my husband for no good reason. Opposite problem of most--major diarrhea.  Anxious about leaving my house and puking In public. Anxious about this pregnancy being okay because I have to wait for an 11wk ultrasound. Discouraged because I know I have weeks + weeks of tri one and I don't know how I'm gonna make it. I'm struggling to take care of my toddler-and feel guilty I'm not giving her the energetic mommy she deserves. And guilty that my house is a mess but I can't go near the dishes without needing to vomit.   ALL THE FEELS.

@kjd291 I'm sorry you are having a rough time, but your little one will get her full energetic mom back soon. But I'm right there with you on the anxiety. I'm getting so anxious about this pregnancy and I know it's my PGAL mind, but it's still hard. I can't wait for my 11weeks appointment either. 

Im still really constipated with sore boobs, but the nausea is calming down. So of course instead of being thankful that I am get a reprieve from it, I'm worried that it's a sign things aren't going well. Ugh  my Ovia app has said that at this point hormones are leveling out, so it could just be that, but I still get nervous. Just trying to breath and take it one day at a time

Nausea started yesterday. I haven't thrown up yet, but I just feel "off" these past two mornings. Boobs are more sore then they have been. And @kjd291I've been having problems similar to yours - I don't remember the last time I took a solid poop  (sorry for TMI!)

So I was lazy yesterday and didn't get to my laundry until like 9 pm. Well my dress pants I always usually line dry. I woke up this morning and was getting dressed for work and none of my pants were dry yet. I had to dig out an old pair of pants out of my closet and they barely fit me. I can barely keep them zipped and they don't have a button, just a hook thing, so I can't do the button trick. I don't know if it's bloat or what but I feel like I can't breath and I've got 8 hours left of work. I'm scared to move or bend

Sooooo exhausted. I get bursts of energy to do stuff then it I wanna sleep for 5 hrs. I only have to pee constantly at night which is annoying.   My boobs  are still extremely sore, and getting fuller, they're already big so I'm hoping they don't get too huge, ugh.

I'm exhausted and my nausea started this morning. Snacked on crackers and pineapples for most of the day. Had my food cooked as bland as possible because that's the only thing that doesn't make me gag. Lunchtime at the office was the worst with all those smells. I haven't puked yet and I have my fingers crossed that I don't get to that point.

chrlyr

Ugh, the gagging. I can't even brush my teeth without stopping multiple times to almost barf. My boobs are mildly sore. The soreness tends to come and go depending on the time of day. I don't have the full blown fatigue yet. I'm basically just ready to drop by 8pm. ETA: The constant dripping/flowing feeling is making me crazy. It has me paranoid that I've started bleeding when it's only been copious amounts discharge (I that that word) thus far.  

mrsyimster

omg... today I woke up feeling terrible. drinking sparkling water. and can only take down an apple for breakfast. I think all im going to have forever now is fruit and sparkling water >< im thinking a bake potato for lunch. im not even sure if that is a good idea!

dubcompanion

5w6d and getting really anxious the nausea is not here yet. I'm irritable, constipated, tired, and lightheaded at times, but other than super sore nipples, I haven't had a lot to complain about. And that makes me worried. 

MTB16

@dubcompanion ditto almost all of your post.   My  boobs are far less sore then they have been, fatigue comes and goes, and other than bloating and mild constipation I don't feel pregnant at.all. and it scares me, especially at 6 weeks!

ngcsugirl1112

Boobs are still sore and getting fuller, nips are sensitive (and they seem to stand at attention more often), queasy in the mornings until I eat something, so tired...I worked my PT job yesterday and crashed as soon as I got home...thankfully DH made dinner so I didn't have to.  Peeing a lot and have had some very mild twinges in my abdominal area, but other than that I feel okay :P

JAGinMI

My "bloating" is out of control, but honestly, based on my terrible eating I really don't know if I am bloated or legitimately packing on lbs already!  Ugh, I really gotta get a handle on that.

I am also getting up nightly to pee now, which I never do when I am not pregnant, and I took my first Tums last week since my last pregnancy!  Oh, how I didn't miss the heartburn at all.

My boobs are fuller as of this week, they are mildly sore, and my nips are soooo sensitive. I hate them!

KellyT22

My cramping is back, and last night I had more light spotting. This is so nerve wracking. 

I am exhausted and no amount of sleep is enough. I have had some on and off nausea, but nothing too bad. 

BelcherEars

Nothing too bad at the moment. I was experiencing cramps, increased thirst/peeing, breast tenderness and feeling slightly tired. Now, I am mainly experiencing occasional cramps, increased thirst/peeing and very slight breast tenderness. Thankfully morning sickness has not hit -though it is early in the game. 

Spartanrd4

Today I threw up for the first time...at work too. Thankfully none of co-workers walked in but it's only a matter of time Ugh. 

JaDaR

The bloat. Oh my god, the bloat! My mom already asked me the other night if I was pregnant again. Luckily my brother was there to assure her that it was just fat  Morning sickness has also hit me pretty hard but I was expecting it.

dubcompanion

@MTB16 I'm hoping it's the calm before the storm. 

rainafire77

Nausea, sore boobs and the bloat. Ugh. I had to do the elastic band around the button of my jeans trick just to get breathing room. But the heightened sense of smell! I swear I've turned into a bloodhound! I have no appetite unless I smell something yummy and then I only want that! Lol 

npaulie

Nausea started hitting me hard as of Saturday. Had each day since, but luckily it's only lasting a few hours. Found out I had a UTI today... AWESOME. also, idk if it's just bloat, but I feel like I'm already showing. Everything I'm reading says its so early that your uterus isn't really expanding much yet, but you can definitely see that my stomach is bigger when I wear tighter clothes. 

rainafire77

@npaulie Agreed! 

npaulie

@rainafire77 I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

rainafire77

@npaulie I swear I started showing the second I got my BFP.

stephv18

Really nauseous now, extremely exhausted, it hit really hard this weekend. My daughter decided to take a 3.5 hour nap yesterday so I enjoyed laying on the couch! I'm hungry all the time and I feel like I look pregnant ha! Probably just boat 

Scarlett830

Anyone else having backaches? I woke up with the most annoying ache in my lower back. I think it's mostly from how I slept and working 8 days straight, but I just want it to stop. I can't get comfortable at all

veeveemama59

Other than eating anything that isn't nailed down (and let's be honest, even some things that are nailed down) and catching a few extra zzz's (either by sleeping in or grabbing a cat nap), I'm not really feeling much.  When I wake up my stomach feels unsettled (sometimes) and I feel gaggy (on and off). Really no consistent, count on it, symptoms. Although DH insists I'm more irritable...and he's probably right. I hate everyone 72% of the time. I've been blaming it on the SHOOBIES (we live in a resort area at the beach, and shoobies are what we call tourists) and their stupid rental bikes and disregard for anyone but themselves. Ew I hate everyone.

I feel this way pretty consistently, and I have no shoobies to deal with. Just never ending constant stupidity.

dubcompanion

@theabels I don't have to deal with shoobies, but I'm agitated by everyone. Poor DH. I snapped at him this morning for sneezing and waking me up. Like, how dare he?

veeveemama59

Oh and the heat and humidity! Lord help me. I think I'm dying! I feel like I can't be outside, I get so sweaty and then feel nauseous...just thinking about it makes me miserable.

veeveemama59

@dubcompanion Husbands are so rude. I've bitten DHs head off far too many times, it's not fair to him. But, like seriously dude, just shut up! lol

dubcompanion

@theabels Noooo kidding. I didn't need to bite his head off for sneezing (even I rolled my eyes at that later - after getting some food in my belly), but I can't remember DH being so rude and annoying! Has he always been this rude and annoying? The honest truth is probably not But it just seems like these pregnancy hormones have given me rude goggles or something! Everything comes off rude. And annoying. 

howdthathappen

So so sick. I'm only 5w5d and I can't believe I feel this bad. It started from the time I woke up today. It's all I can concentrate on. 
Sore boobs, on and off irritability, very tired, and some weird hot feeling in my sinuses. So yeah...all the symptoms?

me! For about a week now. I've been blaming it on our mattress, which we're planning on replacing in the next year or so, but its probably just things moving in our bodies, right?  If its like this now (I'm at 7 weeks), I am NOT looking forward to the next 7 months. 

rainafire77

I'm still getting little cramps that seem to move across my lower abdomen. Not all the time but they seem more noticeable when I'm tense, thirsty or need to pee. No spotting so I think it's normal. I also have sciatica so that could be playing a role in the aches & pains!

PattersRN

Here's a symptom I can get behind....after years of being delegated to an A or B cup, I'm actually filling up a C cup!!  Woot!

Gators&BoSox

So bloated and patience is GONE! Do it my way, do it now, do it quickly. I feel like an evil bitch lol trying to keep myself in check.

ShaunaT25

The struggle is real.
I have never been one to get headaches, and I have had one every day for a week. 

irishrose54

Is anyone dealing with very sore legs? Every day by the evening, I am in PAIN. I have to elevate my legs. It is kind of worrisome. I have spider veins and have always had poor circulation in my legs. I've had this feeling before pregnancy but it's usually after walking for miles upon miles, not just everyday pain like it is now. 

I also just started having sore boobs??? Idk if I can qualify it as sore but omg I am getting these stabbing awful pains that stop me in my tracks. 

kelizr

Lazy, tired, sore boobs.. Especially when I lay or move the wrong way. Smell has heightened over the last two days. Peeing more frequently. Bloating and a heaviness. Anyone get super stuffy? I've read it happens and I had it some in my first pregnancy. Just can't decide if it's lack of "D" allergy meds and nasal sprays or this annoying odd symptom. And sex.. While I know most of you want nothing to do with it (and I didn't want it with me first), this time it's like a constant, annoying need!! What?!?!?
