Thanks to everyone who responded and provided some feedback about the cramps. I haven't been having much of an issue with cramping since early yesterday but now I think I am having my first bout of MS. Thankfully it's pretty mild but I have had to eat or drink at all times today to avoid feeling nauseous. I guess things are finally starting to kick in for me!
@MrsMassimilla Looks like you are due a few days after me so the MS may be right around the corner for you as well! I totally get the "not feeling pregnant" thing. Even though this is my first time being pregnant, not having many symptoms has had me worried too!
@WillRunForWine21 that really surprises me because I have been avoiding dairy at all costs due to milk induced heartburn! Which sucks because I used to drink multiple glasses of milk a day (I normally love the stuff). I guess it is different for everyone!
Update on the morning sickness. My midwives want me to do the B6 +unisom thing for a week, and if that doesn't work then they'll talk about prescribing zofran
So i wasnt having any symptoms until about an hour ago. I was walking down the street to pick up lunch when I got the worst lower abdominal/belly pain. I had to sit down it hurt so terribly. I noticed the pants that I am wearing are usually a little big on me and I have to pin them to make them fit, but they were fitting rather snug at that time, so I'm not sure its severe bloat and gas or what. I've never felt pain like that though.
Feeling pretty sleepy this week - took naps on two different days which I haven't done in months. Also NOTHING sounds good to eat today. I keep opening the fridge, peering in, and feeling grossed out by everything. I've also been having some mild cramping, feels like a slight burn in my lower abdomen.
Super dizzy, especially when standing up quickly. Random nausea/vomiting. Aversions to fish, carbs (mainly chips, pretzels, pasta), but most things sound gross when I'm hungry . So so tired all the time. Boobs aren't necessarily sore, more sensitive. And heavy. I thought they were going to fall right off when I took my bra off yesterday.
Worst day of MS and to make matters worse I have had the hiccups 3 times today... feeling nauseous and having the hiccups is cruel and unusual punishment.
Holy bloat Batman! I don't think I have ever been this bloated. Being PGAL, it makes me worry because it feels like pressure in my lower abdomen more often than not. I also had a hard time buttoning my pants yesterday, granted they were a lil bit snug before, but yesterday I sat behind my desk all day because I had to unbutton them. It was unbearable. Nausea has been pretty rough too. Heartburn as well. I don't want to eat anything but feel hungry all the time...
@sapphires-and-diamonds same boat! I'm actually having my blood pressure checked in a bit bc I think it's low. So dizzy and cold! I run semi low normally so pregnancy may make it lower. My boobs don't really hurt but do feel heavy. And the BLOAT is real. Keeps me from wanting to eat! No MS yet thankfully but just an overall yucky feeing.
I just had some light brown spotting today. 6 weeks and have had basically zero symptoms (which has made me nervous). First visit isn't for three weeks. Anyone else have this? Should I be worried??

I had some brown and very light pink spotting early on and it went away. As long as it doesn't turn bright red I wouldn't be too concerned. Spotting seems to be extremely common!
@jackiej9673, like @JJMNO1616 said, spotting is super common, and especially brown, generally, there is no cause for concern. I have been spotting/bleeding for 2.5 weeks, been to the doctor several times and had great betas.

^WSS spotting is totally normal, especially "old" blood. When it's bright red is when it could be concerning. My last pregnancy I had no symptoms in the beginning either, then started spotting brown blood. If you're concerned, you could call your dr and get an appointment for an early u/s (I did this with DS and everything was fine).
@ackershan oh the bloat too, ugh. I'm giving the dizziness a couple more days then I am calling in. H is going out of town this weekend and I don't want to be taking care of DS by myself like this.
@sapphires-and-diamonds well my bp was low but not abnormally for me. Doc thinks it's lack of calories and not enough water. I just don't want to eat bc of the bloat and I'm not hungry!
@jackiej9673 spotting can be normal but I'd call your doctor if it continues. With DS I was spotting from a subchronic hematoma which can be common but also can be problematic and ended up on bedrest for a few weeks. My doctor says to call with anything more than a little pink spotting.
I'm also feeling *very* crampy tonight and it's freaking me out. No spotting though so I assume I should just tell my anxiety to shut up and try not to worry.

Coming back to read my own advice. Just had quite a bit of brown discharge when I went to the bathroom and now I'm freaking out a little. It was much more then I previously experienced several weeks ago. Decided to call my doctor just to see what they would say and waiting for a call back. Hoping it goes away.
@JJMNO1616 Let us know what your doctor says! Hopefully everything's fine. I remember I had some brown spotting last pregnancy and it ended up being nothing. Fingers crossed! I know the anxiety it causes!
@JJMNO1616 let us know what your doc says! FX everything is perfect.
It looks like I can no longer say that this pregnancy has less symptoms than my last one. The nausea has hit full-on. The only thing I want to eat is Sour Patch Kids. Literally everything else sounds like sucking on garbage.
@ngolimento this is the second time someone has mentioned sour patch kids! I'm normally a big fan, but I can't imagine eating them with my stomach so upset like it has been

I'm at the doctors office now getting labs drawn. They called me back and said they wanted to check to make sure my progesterone isn't too low. Apparently they are also checking my HCG although I don't know how that will help unless they want me to come back and get it done again? Who knows but I'll keep yall posted. Thanks for the well wishes.

I know, it's weird, right? I just had some kind of sour salad dressing (which I normally hate) on a salad at lunch, and it settled my stomach down really well. WTH?
When did the nausea kick in for you guys? For me it has always been week six, like clock work. Well... here I sit; 4w4d, and feeling my stomach churn and the nausea trickle in. I'm so scared.
I'm 6w 3days and starting to feel naseous . I think I don't eat enough so that doesn't help. I did just buy some sour gummies since everyone mentioned it and I think it helped! Weird. Been sipping on juice so I get calories and sugar so I'm not lightheaded. These are all things I would never eat/drink before!
