Baby craved coffee this morning when I am normally a tea drinking. So I said "okay baby, here is a cup of coffee". Baby was happy. An hour later, baby was angry! And this lucky momma got to throw up all the coffee!

I'm going back to tea tomorrow...

Nausea is starting to get worse. I made DH get me some Sour Patch Kids last night. Other than that just some mild cramping. Pretty similar to my pregnancy with DS.

Nausea finally satarted. I thought that I would get lucky this time and not get it at all  . I have also had some cramping, but the fatigue is starting to not be so bad.

Twilight rose

@jessafishy I was thinking of getting some Sour Patch Kids. In the past, they have helped me when I feel nauseous.

Just started feel nausea this morning, so will go get some saltine crackers at lunch.

Believe or not I was actually happy to have some MS. I know i'm crazy, but I like having symptoms especially when most of mine have disappeared (except for the exhaustion. Omg) BUT turned out to be the stomach bug. Second time ive had it since december. Ugh. Im so nervous something might happen because my stomach hurts soooo bad.

I'm so nauseous this morning and I'm only just over four weeks. Last pregnancy, it got so bad around five weeks, I couldn't really move or stand. So, yeahhhh, hopefully I can get out of bed this time around. I don't know how I can keep this a secret if that happens because everyone is so used to me doing SO much. I'm really prone to nausea, so it is not surprising to me. Maybe acupuncture will help tomorrow.

Yesterday morning I felt fine. Yesterday afternoon had had some strong "pinching" cramps for 5-10 minutes. Today i feel exhausted, slightly nauseated, and a few mild dull cramps. I think the pregnancy symptoms are creeping up on me!! I've been great so far! The past few nights I have went to sleep between 7:30-8:30 pm. I do wake up at 3/4 am to pee & eat like normal and then go back to sleep until 6/6:30 am.

Let me just come out and say... this is a bizarre thing for me. My finger tips... primarily by my nails smell like gross broccoli. It makes me want to gag if my hands are near my face.Still working on getting a doc... and when I do I will bring that up. 

Other then that... my "girls" hurt. I had some acid reflux last night... and pretty poor sleep. 

@reneeannemm *hugs* I hope it's not as bad this time around. Hang in there!

Nipples have started to hurt, but the fatigue has gone away. I wake up so hungry that it makes me neaousus. I found that if I drink a fruit smoothie first thing in the morning it helps.

samyv

I am very very sore, especially my back. I am very tired too. I woke up at 2am last night STARVING but I was so tired I couldn't get up so I fell back asleep.

Nausea is rough right now. My digestive system has decided to be even lazier than normal, so I'm super uncomfortable from being backed up. RLP is already happening so that's always fun too. I'm exhausted and that combined with feeling like crap is making me absolutely worthless. I work from home and have an almost 3yo home all day too, I'm getting nothing done and feel constant guilt from it

I am 6w 4d. A few days ago I noticed a rash developing on my arms, and it quickly spread to my hands, chest, back, shoulders and stomach. It itches but only sometimes. It's red and splotchy and has little raised bumps that look like tiny whiteheads (sorry, gross.) It seems like PUPS but can I really have it this soon?? I've also read that this could mean a boy, since their developing testosterone can mess with your hormonal balance, but that could be an old wive's tale. It doesn't actually bother me all that much, it's just unsightly and while I welcome symptoms (PGAL brain!) this one is a little unusual....I hope all is well. 

Otherwise, sore boobs, tired, sleeping very well at night, hungry (!!!) and maybe a few food aversions and moments where I have a hair-trigger gag reflex, but only a few instances. 

HeartItRaces

5 weeks today and only feeling fatigue and hunger so far. Nausea didn't start for me until week 7 last time, so trying to remind myself of that before I get worried about not feeling symptoms. 
@Raincity so crazy you mention the rash! Two days ago I started a very similar rash on my arms, back, chest and thighs but for me it's itchy and uncomfortable. I called the ob this morning but was told it's too early for the rash to be associated with pregnancy hormones or PUPS. Going crazy though because pregnancy is the only change I've had recently (no new soaps, detergents, etc). Going to call my primary if it continues but kind of makes me wonder about the old wives tale you mentioned

-nausea in the evening
-I'm hungry all the time, but then if I eat till I'm full, I feel queasy/nauseous afterwards.
-my boobs are so sore
-some cramps here and there
-TMI alert: EWCM
-fatigue
-I have to use the bathroom all the time. 
-I'm sooo thirsty.

I'm 4 weeks, 5 days (estimated)

Hungry...often. Insomnia sucks big time, go to bed and wake up at like 2-3am and lay there bored out of my mind. Spicy food triggered demons in the belly which is weird. Otherwise feeling good, oh got the coughing hack that I had last time, probably a bit of acid reflux and nausea trying to not vomit. 

grkgdss00

4+5 here and lots of bloating, a bit of cramping and backache and lots of gas (sorry TMI). Nausea hasn't kicked in really, stuffing my face while I can!

ashcakes921

I feel slightly achy boobs, maybe a little nausea but I'm only 4+3 so I'm sure morning sickness will kick my butt before I know it. One thing I'm noticing this time is my digestive system has been wrecked. Like if I eat something that's too anything (too spicy, too greasy, too much) that I'm down for the count for a bit. I think that may be pregnancy relates plus PGAL stress

soprano19

My boobs have been sore for like a week now, which is how I realized I might be pregnant in the first place. I'm also more exhausted than usual after a normal school day, and I've had some mild cramping on and off. Last night was the worst so far... I was brushing my teeth before bed and suddenly got SUPER nauseous and light headed and almost passed out. It didn't go away until I was horizontal in bed. Hopefully that's not going to be a regular occurrence, because it was pretty terrible.

Anyone else with increased sense of smell already? I think it's just an offshoot of my nausea. My boss came into my office with some sort of juice today, it just smelled like orange juice but the smell was so strong I thought for sure I was going to vom (luckily, I didn't).

Mine was the week before my BFP I could smell food a mile away, any perfume or cologne in a store, and even dog poop a house away  I feel like it has subsided a tiny bit but at the same time I think I catch myself scrunching my nose at other times lol

ashleyluxe

@beezeemarie @ShakeUpTampa My sense of smell is increased too.  It's kind of awful.  Before I had a BFP I made creamy potato soup, ate it and enjoyed it but then when I went to put the leftovers away a short while later I was gagging.  It has only become worse from there.  I went to refill my water in the kitchen at work yesterday and it literally smelled like someone heated up garbage for their lunch.  I had to cover my face and quickly get out of there... luckily no one caught me. Who eats hot garbage for lunch?  haha!

That's just a couple of instances... sigh.

crazypuglady

It's hard to tell what's real and what's not lol. I'm normally hungry every 3-4 hours.. so I can' tell if I'm more hungry or not. I drink a lot of water normally, so not sure if I'm going more or not. I tend to burn the candle at both ends.. so can't tell if the afternoon sleepiness is more than normal lol.

 I CAN say that I felt a little dizzy while working out, which is NOT typical. My boobs are a little more sore today then they have been the past few days. I'm emotional easier (teared up watching a virtual tour of the birthing center I'll most likely use). I also have pangs of uneasiness in the stomach- not quite queasy, but unsettled. Seems to happen more when I'm getting hungry. I try to nibble on something and it seems to resolve.

Trying to remain grounded and not overwhelmed. The next few weeks will be interesting to say the least.

feeislove

No nausea just yet but some things are making me want to gag. Some mild cramping occasionally throughout the day but man was I tired at about 4pm yesterday. I didn't know how I was going to make it through the end of my shift. Other than that the only other symptom I'm having is things that normally just annoy me are making me very angry :X

Raincity

@grkgdss00 I have the same mentality- I'm stuffing my fave before the nausea sets in!! And I'm starving all the time, so it works out. However....I'll be seven weeks on Friday and still no morning sickness, so I'm thinking this could backfire on me. I won't barf but I'll be a whale! 

mommac2017

I begged my DH to stay home from work today because I am so nauseous. I threw up 4x yesterday. So far I haven't thrown up today but I've spent a good time dry heaving into the toilet. It's so hard to take care of my toddler while feeling like this. He keeps coming over to the toilet, closing the lid and saying "all done". Then he rips off some toilet paper for me. As cute as it is, I'm not always done when he says "all done" lol

samyv

I got a red light ticket in the mail yesterday. DH wasn't mad but I could tell he wasn't happy about it. Another $150 we should be saving. So because I thought he was mad, I was mad back at him and when he tried to talk to me I lost my mind and started crying and shouting that he always gets mad at me for everything which is not true. 

I have lost my mind.

Twilight rose

@mommac2017 Sorry you aren't feeling well and sorry @samyv that you had a rough day. Here is a dancing dog to cheer you up.

purplestarz

@samyv DH and I got into it over a damn board game yesterday so I'm right there with you on the crazy train lol. Side note, $150 ain't bad! My DH got a red light ticket last year and they're almost $500 here!

samyv

@twilight rose Thank you! that does make me feel better! LOL

@purplestars we can't even fight the ticket or have it reduced really sad. 

purplestarz

@samyv same thing happened here. They gave him a court date if we wanted to go that route but we were out of town for two months so we just paid it and moved on (I was still livid lol). Plus, they send you a link to the video and he didn't even blow through the light, really. He made a right turn on a red but didn't stop fully...ugh. I feel your frustrations!

ashcakes921

You guys...never say you're not feeling nauseous because the universe will kick you in the shins! (I'm not scolding you guys, I'm scolding myself) Yesterday I felt find. Today all I can think is "it has begun". When will I learn

migdala

No real symptoms for me yet other than sore boobs and general fatigue.  I know I shouldn't say this, but I wish I did have some symptoms, I could use the reassurance everything is ok in there!

tyannej

I don't have a whole lot going on either, tender nipples, fatigue, and I've had on and off nausea. I'm not too concerned, but I kind of am because my HCG levels were a little low yesterday but my progesterone was "beautiful" as the nurse called it. PGAL brain is not helping

feeislove

@migdala Same. I don't want to feel sick but if I did it would "solidify" the situation for me.

KTdidit

I'm 4w6d and things haven't been too bad for me yet. I've been starving, a little more quick to get crabby, and a little more tired than usual, but nothing too bad. With both of my boys I didn't have bad nausea but the heartburn was insane. I could just LOOK at food, shoot even water, and get heartburn. I'm hoping this time around it's different. 

bluejeanbabi05

I woke up yesterday with super sore nipples which made me so strangely happy, because I hadn't been feeling any symptoms either. So I'm with you ladies on the symptoms make me feel better train!

eta: Oh and the smelling EVERYTHING. This has subsided but last week I asked our cleaning lady (she comes once a month to save our lives, I am horrible at cleaning) if she was using a new product because it was so strong-smelling and she asked me if I was pregnant. Lol. Point to you, Violet. 

ZukiWife

Bit of a scare yesterday with some cramping and bleeding but got some reassurance from the er doctor that everything with baby seems to be ok. Other than that, my boobs are crazy sore, I'm exhausted (falling asleep during the day), and starting to feel a bit queasy. I'm 5 weeks + 1 day today. 

nhoover88

Is anyone else having nosebleeds? I have had 3 this week. I called the Dr. and they said it's normal.

verily

I'm getting nausea all the time now. The only thing that seems to kill it temporarily is decaf coffee. This baby is definitely mine... 

ashes1312

Yes!! Every time I blow my nose which is stuffier than normal, and not from a cold, it's super bloody!!
