hedgepig

Time for a new symptoms thread ladies - How are you feeling this week?

I feel like hell this morning. I've been having small bouts of nausea off and on. However this morning I woke up with a raging headache, dizzy, and felt like puking. Generally feel hit by a truck. A little food helped some but not great. My boobs are tender, my hair is a freaking grease pit and of course exhaustion. Hello week 5!!!

I'm really feeling like crap. Exhausted, dizzy, headache, my boobs are really tender and I've felt a little crampy with tugging sensations. At least my nausea stays away until night time, but then it hits hard. I don't remember ever feeling this crappy with my other pregnancies.

My symptoms have been intermittent. I had some intense cramping this morning. Other than random exhaustion and sore boobs that come and go, I really don't have anything going on. With the crazy cramping this morning and symptoms that aren't as present as with DD, I'm pretty nervous and counting down till my first appointment in 2 weeks. Anyone else having intermittent symptoms?

@tooraloorah I've been feeling terrible all week but today it seems as long as I eat I'm fine. This following insomnia last night and giant nap today. So who knows

SOREST BOOBS EVER!!

I have been worrying because my nausea was really strong the first few days but much better (by no means great) the last two days.  Add that and my not super high beta and progesterone, I was freaking out.  (Dr. insisted he felt things were fine and numbers were still normal, but just not high) 

Well, I realized mid morning, that I had woken up the day after my BFP with a UTI and was on antibiotics for 5 days.  I now feel super dumb.  No wonder I was so sick to my stomach and feel less nauseous.

Glad I came to that realization, and then I googled how low betas can be at 5 weeks,  so now I am much less worried.  I am trying to not spaz the beginning stages of this pregnancy.  Being a loss mom is really getting to me.  

Anyway, I do feel like utter crap.  Tired, nauseous and have a headache.

Mild intermittent cramping, small waves of nausea, sharp needle stabs in my nipples. The worst problem yesterday and today is constipation, which I never have an issue with, but was also a problem with my daughter.

@holly321 glad you figured it out, but man that sounds stressful

I took DS back to school shopping this afternoon and now I'm to tired to get off the couch. Seriously can't move.

Sooooooooo tired, sore boobs that has been hurting since ovulation, some stretching feeling in my abdomen, spotting, and hunger then eating then nausea. Oh and all the pee lol.

The nausea oh the nausea. If This can end soon that'd be great...please and thank you!

Posting this again since I posted in the first symptoms thread...

So I am around 5 wks 5 days. I had some cramping in the beginning but have felt totally normal the last 5 daysish. In Fact, sometimes I forget that I'm pregnant. I can't remember when the symptoms started with my first pregnancy but I feel slightly worried that I don't have any symptoms. Anyone else not feeling symptoms yet and freaking out a little?? 

bettyvonsomethingstein

@kimmerann3, I never have much in the way of symptoms.  Consider yourself lucky, because it's fine!

kimmerann3

Thanks! It's reassuring to hear others experiencing the same or similar to me. I don't want to be nauseous but I am anxiously waiting my first appointment and going to crazy waiting! I guess it s a good thing since I'm chasing after a 3 year old this time! 

kclouds

I have no real symptoms yet. My boobs are a little sore and I have the occasional quick feeling of nausea, but nothing I'd notice if I didn't know I was pregnant. I know the symptoms will come, but I'm hoping to avoid the morning sickness!

I think the insomnia is fading, but I'm so tired all.the.time. Occasional super smell and nausea.

This morning is the first time this week I have woken up and not felt like I was drunk as hell the prior night.  My boobs are sore, I crash every day at 2pm, and I am....prickly.  What a great time to parent a 2 year old!  Luckily DH is stepping up to the plate more than I thought he would.

@ngolimento I completely forgot about the "hangover" symptom! I do not want to get hit with that again. Hopefully it's over for you!

Woke up yesterday feeling good, did a long run then crashed with really bad nausea and dizzy spells with dry heaving but no throw up. I felt better going to bed but later around all afternoon . Today I feel better and I got a workout in and am hoping to not crash again. I didn't have nausea in my first pregnancy so that was really new. Still have insomnia so nothing new there. Yay week 5!

Dumbgurl04

Woke up early this morning feeling really constipated, also feel like I'm getting a UTI.  Boobs are still a little sore.  Havnt been feeling all that nauseous the past two days so that's a plus.

So much cramping.  Didn't experience the cramping/tugging/stretching last time around.  Which, of course, makes me anxious.  Heavy boobs.  Random dizziness.  Some fatigue- especially with my workouts.

On top of feeling like crap, my hormones are RAGING. Angry over absolutely nothing. 

merrypotter

I have just been extremely tired! I'm usually always pretty sleepy due to my DS not being a great sleeper but this exhaustion was something else. Also super tender boobs. I have found myself getting irrationally angry lately, especially at work (I work in customer service ha!). Other than that I've been fine. I had a pretty symptom free pregnancy with my first so I'm hoping for another easy one!

I lashed out at DH last night for asking multiple times where the dill was

To be fair, men not being able to find things in front of their fricking faces IS rage inducing, hormones or no .

I am still very grouchy.  Not super nauseous, but slightly nauseous all day.   Most foods are sounding gross, but food I want I want really bad.  My back is killing me, I don't think it is related, but it is driving me nuts and making me walk funny.

pghren

@holly321 is it your lower back? I've had lower back pain as a symptom before because of the way my uterus sits

holly321

@allowachick, it is my lower back, but I have been trying to stop sleeping on my stomach.  I had to sleep on my stomach, because sleeping on my side made my arm go to sleep (and wake me up) from a pinched nerve.  I had surgery to correct it about 2.5 weeks ago, so I am now trying to sleep on my side since sleeping on your stomach is awful for your back.  But ironically it seems to be making my back hurt.

@holly321 that is seriously unfortunate

I really wish I felt more pregnant. I'm 5 weeks today and the only consistent symptoms I have are feeling cold all the time and tired in the evening. I'm feeling super paranoid about it today. I had a lot of symptoms before my BFP and right after and now almost nothing. I can't wait until October 1. 

pghren

@justkeepswimming8 what's October 1?

justkeepswimming8

@allowachick - first day of second trimester lol

Weirdly enough, it is!  Your core body temp should be kicked up at least a full degree above normal during pregnancy.  So air on your skin feels colder because the difference in temp between the two is greater.

Omg, that is sooo crazy!!! Wow!

kimmerann3

I have very little symptoms too! It is definitely making me feel paranoid! 

Dumbgurl04

Totally agree with the anger @toniherdt people just seem to be extra annoying lately.

My wedding anniversary is Oct 1 @justkeepswimming8 that's a great day

stodierach

Hopefully the reply posts everything i put as they havent been in other posts..
I got my BFP on 29th july so im 5.5weeks pregnant.  I have really sore boobs, cramps/shooting pains in abdomen area (hope this is norml) and grumpy as hell which isbt useful when i work with kids!lol.
Apart from that ive been ok so far. First midwife appointment on 29th august.

jkozlo21

I'm almost at five weeks and really don't have many symptoms yet.  My boobs are a little sore, I have a little bit of nausea on and off (feels like a hangover sometimes), and my mouth has been really dry.  My lower back was killing me earlier this week which I read could be round ligament pain. It felt like a pinched nerve but it's pretty much gone now though (big relief b/c it made sleeping really difficult).

I am havibg the same fears. I went Friday for a STAT beta after i started spotting. My levels were only at 228. Thay had me go back this morning to the lab to retest to see what my numbers are looking like. I now have to waot till tomorrow for tee results. However today all day i have been more nauseas then every in my life! I also have a massive headache. I am taking it as a goid sign but not getting too excited. @holly321 how were your levels?? Hang in there!!!!
