@kiki75 love the meme!!! 

My symptoms are as follows:
I HATE FOOD. 
I HATE FOOD
I HATE FOOD

*Edited because I saw my baby tracker thing saying my baby is the size of Peanut M&M. Now I want Peanut M&Ms. I guess I hate all food except Peanut M&Ms.

Wishing this pic applied to me...Zero cravings, but I found I can tolerate Asian broth (yes to all the vegetarian pho). 

Feeling a little irritable with anyone who isn't my husband or son.

Can't really say I have much of "cravings" but the morning sickness the last two days has been almost non existent, except while eating dinner last night. So that was nice. However, I haven't even gotten out of bed yet this morning, and I'm super gaggy already. I don't take that as a very good sign for the rest of my day.

This pic pretty much half applies to me. I go to the store and shop like a stoner with the munchies. In the last week I bought everything flavor pretzel crisps, some crackers, then bacon habanero pretzel crisps, a cupcake, a piece of key lime pie, a box of little bags of mini Nilla Wafers.... Then I get home and nibble a little and wonder what I was thinking. Cupcake got 1/3 eaten in two days. Key lime pie, probably about 1/3. I left the bacon habanero pretzel crisps in my car so I could take them to work the next day and the next day, I got in the car, looked at them and said, "WTF??" I had half a bag of the Nilla wafers and two of the everything pretzel crisps.

Mine seem to have disappeared. A little bit of nausea, but nothing else. I'm not even peeing as frequently.

Nausea nausea nausea nausea nausea nausea.

Then I feel normal for about five minutes.

Then nausea again.

And dizzy as of this morning too.

I salute those of you who already have toddlers/children at home too. Don't know how you do it.

7 weeks today and after soooo much nausea this past week, I feel pretty normal today. Which has my PGAL brain going a bit insane. Trying to remember that change in symptoms does not equal a loss. 

justkeeptrying

@loganjsmommy1978, yes. 

*TW* My previous two pregnancies ended in miscarriage despite vomiting 4x/day. Unfortunately I know all too well that nausea does NOT equal a healthy pregnancy/healthy baby. It's such a mind game. *End TW*

Just trying to enjoy this vomit-free day!

Hemorrhoids have now joined the party.

I feel like I turned a corner this past week. Weeks 5-8 were bad, 9 was absolute hell, but week 10 has not been too bad. My nausea has decreased a ton and I'm not as exhausted. Maybe second tri bliss is coming early for me. I had a good US last week at 10w0d, so I'm trying not to let my disappearing symptoms worry me at all and just enjoy the good days.

mylovelittlelove

This week has been HORRIBLE for sickness. I think I've puked more this week than the previous weeks combined. Anyone have it get so much worse than better? 10w3d today.

vflux33

8 w 5 d and nausea and sleep problems getting worse. Trying really hard not to catch MH's cough since that is pretty much the only symptom I don't have... Everything is repeating me. Things that were fine to eat a week ago are now giving me indigestion. And I'm definitely eating like a stoner frat boy. 

Soashwifey

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days. The last two days the nausea has kicked in... I had morning (all-day sickness) with my first pregnancy that lasted from 8 weeks until 16 weeks so I have just been waiting for it to arrive and it did. So with that, I also don't feel like I can eat anything...everything sounds gross. Also, I think I have a bug...I have a bad cough and my temp was close to 102 last night...just adding to the fun. Going to the doctor today. Still thankful either way!!

maureenbioni

@vflux33. I don't sleep anymore. I'm awake every hour. It's awful.

and my big craving is CHEETOS. I just want them constantly and I legit haven't had them in years!

Salty lentil chips are saving my GD life today.  MS hit suddenly and really hard.  Ordered B6 same day shipping from amazon and praying that will help.

7 weeks, 1 day - nausea and exhaustion over here. My aversions now include my previously loved pizza, chicken nuggets, and french fries. My fiance thought I would love pizza again, and though it smelled wonderful, I couldn't even eat half a slice. It made him so sad

I absolutely loved the loaded tater tots from Denny's though, and the potato gratin I made seemed fine. All things meat have been a no-go. Guess I'll just make more gratin!

@muggle621 M&M's are the best! I'd go for the peanut butter ones.
@gh515 Yup, I totally relate. I also agree, I don't know how those with children do it.
@maureenbioni You've reminded me that I forgot to get myself some Cheetos!

I am so sick of this never ending headache that turns into a migraine around 3 pm every.single.day. Tylenol doesn't touch it. Water doesn't touch it. Small frequent meals don't touch it. And an ice pack on my neck and back barely makes it tolerable so I can sleep at night. Also all the sleep doesn't touch it. I'm just about at my wit's end. It makes me so incredibly crabby every afternoon and then I feel bad because neither DH nor DS deserve that. Maybe this should have been my MBF. 

shellsexpecting

I'm 6wks 4days today. Last week I had heartburn and peeing every 10 minutes it seems. Lol! We went to the store yesterday and I tossed in much veggies and fruit into our cart along with some goodies. I'm not really feeling so many sweets as I am spinach, broccoli, and health foods. My taste buds are changing. Ranch Doritos, nope. Twizzlers, nope!! And those have always been my favs! At least chocolate is ok. Lol baby is making sure mom is healthy! I have been experiencing cramping and it often messes with me cause of the previous MC. Oh and did I forget to mention, I am very forgetful! I'm only 6weeks y'all! Goodness! Hahaha.

pettycrocker

I feel like a bottomless pit lately. Starting to a have a little more energy 

chasingroygbiv

@mdfarmchick Ugh, so sorry. I've been dealing with them too and when they hit they're awful and I can hardly stand them. They make my nausea ten fold. What about some peppermint oil on your temples? Not straight oil and I usually roll a very small amount on my fingers and massage it in. Do this at your own risk, I am not an essential oil guru, in fact I don't use them for anything but exactly this. I feel like the scent really helps me nausea wise and it does sometimes take the edge off, but more so when I'm not pregnant.  Feel better. 

mdfarmchick

@chasingroygbiv I feel the same way about essential oils but I am getting pretty desperate. I've got peppermint oil in the mail to try. I am more sorry than you know that you are getting them too.

Yesterday the fatigue was SO BAD. Today is going better so far. I'm not really nauseous, but lots of random food adversons, sour tummy, ect. Been taking a nap a day, which maybe I wouldn't except for our new pups that like to wake up early. But generally exhausted regardless. 8 weeks as of yesterday, guessing. First appointment in 2weeks. They wanted to see me tomorrow but with 2 kids at home and hubby gone for yearly training, that's not happening :-P

MrsBalletStar05

Bought a ton of frozen food this morning for my family because cooking makes my stomach turn :-/ sorry fam. ...

wisewitch222

@muggle621 Those are my exact symptoms too! 

I'm 6+4 and, though I have no true aversions, I have absolutely no apetite to speak of and I have to make myself eat. Then when I do eat, it tastes fine, but I don't really enjoy it. This isn't helping my other problem of no energy AT ALL. I feel fine otherwise, though, and DS still takes 2.5 hour naps each day, which makes up for having to chase him all morning. 

crossfitbabybump

10 weeks 4 days - I hate all food again, too. Although peanut M&M's do sound kinda good, lol.

This baby is making me break out! UGH!

Boobs still sore, especially in the morning.

Vivid dreams. Every. Single. Night. It's a bit ridiculous! They seem so real.

Tired. I wish I could nap at work!

ishmoney

I'm just slipping into delirium. I just had to call my doctor because I cannot take this all-day nausea one more day. Nothing helps.  I can't even think. I can't eat in the morning without a cheerleader. I am not a med person but I have to work and live and can't be taking all these days off (this past Friday). I cry every day. I'm hungry and disappointed. Need those pills.

@hullabalou I could have written this! Last week peaked my worst fatigue and nausea, and over the last 2-3 days, I've gradually felt like myself again for the first time in a month. I'm crossing my fingers for an early shift out of 1st tri symptoms! I'll be 10w tomorrow.

historeliza

Boobs hurt so bad.  No energy.  I just want straight up carbs.  

MrsBalletStar05

@crossfitbabybump yes, all the zits! :-( :-( 

heatherdubrow

@ishmoney girl, no shame in taking the meds if you need them! I hope they bring some relief

bb3vj3n

@ishmoney I FEEL YOU. I was right there with you. I caved and got meds about 2 weeks.  I say go for it... there is no need for you to feel this awful. 

I had to do something because I was slipping into a very dark place and was worried that my nausea was pushing me into depression.  

I'm so glad I got the Rx. it has been a game changer. 

hullabalou

@ishmoney get some meds! you have to be able to function. your OB should be able to call something in without you having to make an extra appt. I hope they help you!

scotiagirl

@ishmoney I'm right there with you!  I'm calling my doctors office tomorrow's for a script for diclectin!  We are super short at work right and this weeks tasks all basically depend on me being there so I have to find a way to make it through! 

Hang in there and definitely no shame in meds! 

HappyMonkey817

@ishmoney I hope the meds bring you some relief.

vflux33

@ishmoney GL with the meds!

Raise your hand if you're too nauseous to open the Meal Plan Monday thread. 

crossfitbabybump

@MrsBalletStar05 right!? No amount of washing will make them stop! *insert crying face here*

savedbygrace1213

I feel for all you mammas with the headaches.. I couldn't imagine having a nonstop headache.  I am such a crank when I get the tiniest headache and Excederin was always my go to and now I can't have it! 

My symptoms this week seem to just be exhaustion and some insomnia. Accompanied by the worst summer cold ever. It is miserable. 

KLmyz

@kiki75 same here ! I told my H I can't  be trusted to grocery shop ..  buy all these ridiculous  things then just stare at them and think why? Why did I get these 

also last week some energy returned and I could eat again. And yesterday it's all back. Was so tired bloated after eating anything and no appetite

day38

I'm constantly tired but wide awake at 5 am. Nauseous off and on but luckily not getting sick. I want to eat everything and nothing. My boobs hurt, I need to pee, and I'm also getting acne. My 1st pregnancy I was only tired and had no other symptoms. I wish I had the energy to keep up with my toddler.

TheAnalyticalMommy

I can't stop eating and I"m exhausted. Just want to sit in bed with some cheese puffs! 

I get sick occasionally but i'm only 7 weeks so MS hasn't hit hard (this is my 3rd)
