I was exhausted but I upped my vitamin d dose by 500mg and that has made a huge difference. Im so thirsty though. Already drank 4 of my 32oz water bottles and as a result am running to the bathroom every 5 min!
Can everyone talk about their cramping? I just want to see what everyone else's feels like in comparison to mine. I'm trying not to worry. Mine is kind of all over the place. I have dull aches randomly in my back, sharp ones inside hips. They only last for a few seconds at a time and its random, not just when I sneeze or anything like that. I also started having some extremely light pink spotting today, which is making me pay attention to everything and worry. I dont know if spotting is even the word. I only get it when I wipe and its not discharge. It just looks like my pee is slightly pink, but I'm trying to drink more water than normal so I have to go more and can keep checking. Ugh, I really really hate this waiting part. lts almost worse than the TWW.
Are you having any cramping? I've been cramping off/on the entire time. I did with my first two. I was only concerned last week because of spotting but everything checked out.
How long does it last at once? Depends I can't say I really concern myself with time
~How many times throughout the day do you have it? 3 or 4
How long has this been going on, i.e. from the beginning and how far along are you now?
Describe it the best you can (sharp, dull, location): generally just aches tightness. I just sharp stabbing pains but because of location and when they occur I know it's round ligament pain.
I know true round ligament pain is usually much later, but I'm having the exact same thing I had super early on with my 1st- stabbing pain when standing up too fast. I remember it being so awkward still hiding the pregnancy at work and trying to pretend I didn't yell out and double over when standing up...super excited for THAT again!
I've been having RLP for two weeks already I say it's because our bodies are familiar with it this time but IDK. Regardless it's there for me too
Definitely!!! I've read in a few places that STM and beyond feel RLP earlier and if can be more painful. Something about the ligaments having been stretched before, so they stretch easier. This is def true for me! RLP started at about 4 weeks and it is bad!

@scuba_chic Hey there, I had cramping on and off from about 3 weeks 6 days (the day I got my BFP) until yesterday morning (4 weeks 3 days.) Now, I have no cramping and no symptoms of any kind (which is scaring me, even though I know it's probably fine since I'm early.) When I would get them they would feel almost like period cramps or maybe like I needed to go to the bathroom. It would usually last about 30 sec to a minute and it was happening a handful of times a day. Location was central, I think? The pain wasn't severe, just kind of period crampy and dull. Hope this helps in some way and hope everything is okay with you!

My spotting just got much worse. I am trying not to freak out. First off, I was swimming today, so maybe it just seems worse.... Second, I am quite symptomatic, I am pretty nauseous and have heartburn. I otherwise and not in pain (slightly crampy, but have been since I found out, so nothing new) I can not wait until tomorrow morning, ultrasound is at 10, so hopefully all will go well.
Nausea all day long, a little better after I eat.. all day long.. always exhausted, constipated, always peeing, I'm totally freaking nuts too! These mood swings are out of control! Oh and I think I already have hemorrhoids too
Peeing omg I have never gone see with any other pregnancy or any other time in my life. I am also finding water only this time which is weird because I never drink it I hate it. Spice omg Spicy food. But then it's not hot enough. Haven't been able to eat spice for 3 years and now I want hot sauce all the time.
I had first trimester PUPPP with my son and it went away (which surprised the doctor) around 12 weeks. Looks like I have it again. My upper legs are covered in a bumpy scratchy rash. Fun!
Ultrasound didn't go great, but my doctor wasn't concerned at all. They found the sac, but didn't see anything. He said my uterus is really titled and the tech was unable to get any good images. He wants me to come back for a repeat next week. Not that I needed a reminder, but big reminder oh why I love him, he calms me so much. He said not to worry about the bleeding.
@kmalls,@chloandcoco, he really is amazing, I can't say enough good about him. And thanks!
@kindbytealikat, how far along are you? I should be 7 weeks, but I am really questioning that too. I didn't get a positive until 15dpo (I know that isn't unheard of, but it back up my theory). If I only use temps in FF,not symptoms, it puts my O date back, and I honestly see where another shift could be to make me not quite 7 weeks. Close to 6 weeks 3 days if I remember. When I googled the situation, it seems like it is pretty common to see nothing at 7 weeks with a uterus tilt.
@holly321 I am 6.5 today so was 5.3 the day of the U/S. they could make out a small sac on my uterus but could not tell if it was gestational or not because my uterus was so titled they could not get a good look. If I go by O I'm two days further though. I have a F/U U/S next Wednesday
My thirst is insane. I've never been this thirsty before including my first pregnancy. It's ridiculous. For instance, I just downed 32 oz of maple water and I'm still so thirsty.

@tgortney A friend recommended it because I hate coconut water and was looking for something hydrating since my old hydration tabs had stevia in them and I'm trying to avoid that. Maple water is the water that's collected from maple trees; typically it's boiled down to make maple syrup but you can drink it fresh as well. It has a very slight maple taste to it, but it's not overwhelming. Has a tons of electrolytes in it. Nice alternative to water.
^^ yeah. I need to know about this. It kinda sounds gross!
Im with you on the thirst though, @fishsticks-n-custard. I feel like there is not enough water on this planet to satisfy me. And the colder the better.

I'm right there with you! I already drink a lot of water but I have been drinking SO much more the past few weeks. My husband even commented on it. I love just plain ice water with lemon.

I'm super thirsty as well! And I'm horrible at drinking water because my bladder is half the size of a normal bladder! Super weird. I don't remember being thirsty with my other pregnancies.
Yes, to the heartburn!! It's awful. Anyone believe in the old wives tale? I had horrible heartburn with my youngest and he came out with SO MUCH hair it was insane!

Anyone having hardcore heartburn? Sometimes it feels really bad but it just seems to have a dull linger.
