6 weeks today and I feel like a bag of dicks! Can I say dicks?

MyNamesTaken

I'm just tired but I'm also sick with a cold so I think a lot of my crappiness is from that. It's also making my brain crazy. Dating US is today so hopefully we get good news and I can stop being paranoid!

I'm 6+5 today. So. Freaking. Tired. All the time. 
Nausea decided to kick in this morning so that's fun. 

kelseyrayay

7 weeks tomorrow. Just now getting nauseous. I really thought I was going to be able to skip all of that.. nope 

MrsJessS

@kelseyrayay I was thinking the same! My mom says she was never sick w me so I was optimistic. Looking like that's not going to work out

kelseyrayay

@MrsJessS I was extremely sick with my first Tanner. I will say this pregnancy is much easier then my first was.

7+6 today...

My all day nausea has moved to mid afternoon till I fall asleep at night. So I am able to get up and eat and go about my day till I am forced to lay around on the couch not wanting to smell or eat dinner.  I then proceed to fall asleep on the couch around 7:30 every night until my nausea wakes me up and I drag myself to bed.

Boobs are still swollen and tender in spots

Headaches come and go

Also, TMI but I had the most intense sex dream this morning! I could not fall back asleep until I woke DH so he could take care of business, LOL!

8+1, nauseous all the time. Constipated. My nipples are still kind of sore when I nurse but not as bad as before. I can't wait for these ginger candies I ordered to come in... I hope they work. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm gonna barf all the time. I've also got round ligament pain already, it hurts when I stand up too fast or twist or sneeze.. I'm exhausted but I think most of that is from my one year old..

6+2 today... I was stupidly thinking I might be lucky and skip feeling like total crap this time! Ha. No. Yesterday the nausea started. Plus, my husband came home from work last night with a cold and then snored LOUDLY all night. It was awesome. Though not really his fault, so I can't blame him too much. But I already have trouble sleeping, so adding this in doesn't help!

8+4

6+4 Woke up in the middle of the night with nausea.  That was a first.  Really tired.  The congestion, ugh.  Continuing to have cramps.  Boobs are sore.  And absolutely no problems pooping, if you catch my drift.   

HollyGolightly09

@jmn1985  I was waking up at least once an hour nauseated... unisom/B6 at night has kicked that completely. 

mrs_tacos

So much nausea, even with the B6/unisom. (But so much worse without it.) And the bloating. And constipation. And exhaustion. And the heart palpitations. And I basically live in my bra because my boobs hurt so much- and I really hate bras. And my skin and hair are really oily all of a sudden, and I'm breaking out like I just hit puberty. So, all-in-all, early pregnancy is not very pleasant. Totally worth it, but not pleasant.

5 weeks 4 days
sore nipples, running to the bathroom every hour, feeling blah lately, and so tired. 

Sugargirl1019

8+5, acne like whoa. I'm pissed. I cannot get anything to heal or hide with cover up. It is EVERYWHERE. And my hair, skin is more greasy than normal. Nausea, fatigue, heavy sore boobs, and I woke up with a crazy low blood sugar. First time I've ever been that low ..  and awake. Really scary.

wyomama0427

@Sugargirl1019 omg YES the acne. It's INSANE!!!! I look worse than I did in junior high!!!!

Carebella

Tired. Queasy all the damn time. Food rarely sounds good. Overactive nose. Insomnia. Tired. Nursing isn't as tough but still not great. Did I mention tired?

sableeg

@Sugargirl1019 @daniellelynette Acne here too...ugh!  Also horrible constipation, intermittent nausea, exhaustion, I'm cold all of the time, sore boobs, and food aversions.

That's scary! Do you wear a pump with alarms set? 
I had my derm call me in clindamycin topical because my acne was out of control! I wasn't going 9 months looking like a teenager again. I'm still breaking out but not as bad.

8+2

Ex. Haus. Ted. 

Boobs still hurt. Not severe nausea, but maybe a few moments of "uh uh, that's not good." No real food aversions, but I am generally just not excited about food (except crackers and mac & cheese). In fact, so far pregnancy has been my most effective method for weight loss...

I had right hip/abdominal pain that was so persistent over the last 72 hours that they called me into the clinic to test for UTI and look for other problems. Turns out they think it is just round ligament pain. Already?!

@amandarene112 That sweet monkey is my spirit animal. 

earthtomom

7 weeks today. Still dealing with all day nausea waves, exhaustion and grouchiness. Boobs still sore and huge! Pretty sure I'm a cup size bigger already 

mercury94

6+3. My boobs are HUGE! I had to buy bras this weekend because none of mine fit. DH is loving it, by the way. Can't stop talking about how big they are. 

Also, I'm so tired. I'm like a zombie. And I'm crying all the time.

ShreyaR

No symptoms yet, my first pregnancy I was in bedded down for two weeks because of extreme morning sickness, I got acupuncture which made me feel better. This time, nothing! Just a bit more tired yah usual and odd sleeping patterns! Eating like a pig
and oh I am 6 weeks!

margareth-2

9 weeks today.

I'm pretty miserable, but trying to stay positive and grateful about the pregnancy (after a loss).  However, it's easy to be worried.  Nausea but not so much vomiting (only two episodes, pretty far apart), food/smell aversions, FATIGUE, perpetual coldness and occasional hot flashes so it's impossible to be comfortable, ridiculous urge to pee and then puzzlement over how little comes out... what else?!  Oh, when I see visibly pregnant women, or babies, I feel slightly annoyed, probably because I feel so miserable right now with no "payoff" and it's still too early for me to be comfortable talking about it with a lot of people.  Wish we could all have an U/S every day so we could check up on our little ones! 

mamagabby-2

6+5 today. Short bouts of mild nausea, but mostly just not feeling like eating much. Strong aversions to certain foods. Terrible fatigue around 3pm, right when DD gets up from nap Constipation, having a fiber bar snack helps. All the same symptoms as my last pregnancy.

Yes!

@jessieR358 Last night was the first night I slept without my sensor and I won't do that again! 

Um....I'm embarrassed to ask this but. . Does anyone else feel like they stink really really bad? Deodorant and showers just don't seem enough!  I hope it's just increased smell and I don't ACTUALLY smell like this!! I'm mortified! 

ellemnop90

LOL @Sugargirl1019 I was just thinking this yesterday and today!  I'm hoping it's my heightened sense of smell, but I think I may be a little stinky!

I have been also having quite a bit of lower abdominal pressure.  This morning I had some "stabbing" pains on my left side going into my hip and down to my vagina.  It lasted maybe 30 min but was not pleasant.  It sounds like my uterus was probably just stretching but it was kind of scary!

Also thank god I read this before posting... autocorrect can be awful!  

Cats*in*space

@Sugargirl1019 & @ellemnop90 This is good to know.  I haven't been able to breathe through my nose in 6 weeks, so I have absolutely no way to know if I'm the smelly kid in class.   I will ask DH..... 

caridawn2009

8w2d 
Nausea galore if I don't take B6/unisom the night before. I don't think my DH gets that this can happen (he thinks you just wake up sick a day or two then your fine

Same here. My DH asks me every day, "what's wrong?" I'm like I feel like crap!! Allllll day every day. I asked him if he forgot I was pregnant. He said he wouldn't ask again ha. 

pregnantaf

Idk all the new bump rules. Old bump you could. Maybe this is my inner hoar, but I wish I felt like a bag of dicks.

kaliraro

8w1d and:
Boobs are huge! The soreness is down, however. Ordered extenders...
Pants didn't quite fit right today... Ordered Bella band! 
Nausea/heartburn, ordered ginger candies! 
Constipated, so I'm on a daily regimen of prunes, Activia and Fiber One bar. 
So thank goodness for Amazon because finding the energy to do anything after 2pm is hilarious these days. 
Excess oil: I have had to limit my conditioner because hair is definitely a little greasier- read about leaving shampoo on the scalp for a couple minutes, doing a quick on/off rinse with small amt of conditioner, and then using a detangler with some volume spray- it's been working like a charm. 
I also think this is where the extra stinkiness might be coming from- my armpits have also been very itchy after shaving! I have doubled up on my Dove deodorant followed by DH's old spice. 
Emotions: I cried twice at my desk this morning and hoped no one would notice.

JNR6510

I am 7+3 today and so exhausted! I want to stop and take a nap constantly. Between fatigue and nausea, I really don't feel like doing anything. 

margareth-2

Sometimes when I brush my teeth I have a gag reflex and on occasion it actually makes me throw up! Happened tonight. Yuck. 

I recommend this Australian ginger beer (nonalcoholic of course) called Bundaberg! Anyone had it? 

halstamps

I'm 6 weeks and 1 day. I am exhausted and my nose has been really bad stuffy (which means I haven't been able to smell or taste since a few days ago.) Morning sickness started yesterday. I figured out that as long as I don't become hungry at all then I'm not nauseated. However without my sense of smell/taste I don't become hungry until it's too late. 

runbyfruiting

My symptoms have been all over the place but the most consistent one is being tired. I'm constantly exhausted. Oh and waking up at least once in the middle of the night having to pee. That's really not helping how tired I feel. ETA I am 7+4.

Um yes. We were at the doctors office the other day with DS and I caught a whiff... I was like whoooaaaaa! I haven't smelled like that since the weeks after I had DS. It's just hormones
