Symptoms w/o 11/13

millpe

I thought we could use a new symptoms thread! How's everyone feeling?

Basically that GIF...I need a nap. Other than that a touch irritable.

hillbillywife

I just woke up from a nap. My first one of this pregnancy. I’ve been soooo tired but generally unable to sleep well. I feel so much better after this nap and I was distracted cuz I didn’t want to miss getting DS off the bus and my do was laying on top of me.

ive been off and on nauseous too. Blah. That’s new for me. And my boobs finally hurt. Hoorah!

bubby15

Sleep...I need all the sleep! Besides that no other symptoms the last few days

mamaabc

I’m just feeling more tired than usual but find it hard to sleep at night. Not much nausea yet which is surprising me. Last time it hit me really hard right at 5 weeks, but I should be 7 weeks tomorrow. I guess every pregnancy is different! With my DS the morning sickness was mild so maybe it will be that way again! I was so sick with my girl pregnancies. 

amylu914

So much nausea. With DS I had nausea but always at dinner time, so I would throw up dinner then go lay on the couch. This time around it's all day, up until dinner. I seriously don't know how to cope at work. I was leading a training (luckily virtually) and I was thisssss close to hurling in my trash can.

millpe

When did everyone's nausea start for them? I've been feeling really good so far, but I am only 5.5 weeks. Just a little tired and distracted... I did throw up once kinda unexpectedly on Saturday, but I wasn't even feeling very nauseous. 

mamabird18

Nausea! I didn’t not experience it to this extent before AT ALL. Ugh. Any tips and tricks? I’m starving but everything sounds like complete garbage. Haha!

Also acne, which I remember. So fun. 

I keep forgetting the reason i feel like total crap is because I’m pregnant. So there’s the silver lining!!!!

Katm89

I have an aversion to coffee of all things!
I had that with DD, I was hoping it didn't come back... around 11 weeks last time I could stomach coffee again.

millpe

Also, low back pain. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have no idea what else it could possibly be from besides pregnancy, but it seems so early! 

Katm89

@MrsMiller8588 Ive had some lower back aches.

ajsanders-2

@MrsMiller8588 - Mine started last week, so about 4 weeks in, only nausea but it hasn't been that bad. The tiredness is what is killing me!

amylu914

@MrsMiller8588 my nausea really set in around 6 weeks this time.

And yes to lower back pain. I had it last time and was told it's the hormones making our muscles loose and thus weaker. 

millpe

@amylu914 Does it last whole time or does it get better at some point? 

amylu914

@MrsMiller8588 mine lasted the whole time. I was concerned it would get worse as I got bigger but it didn't, so I guess that's good news? My heating pad was my best friend. 

millpe

@amylu914 yikes! I was not expecting that this early! I guess I will just be glad I haven't had any nausea yet 

mamabird18

Ive had general back pain, lower and upper. I remember stretching and yoga being a lifesaver last time!

acunamatada

I'm so exhausted. I go to sleep early, wake up several times (with CRAZY dreams) and still wake up with DS in the morning no problem. By afternoon I hit a brick wall and usually fall asleep putting DS to sleep. 
My nausea has let up a little bit, but oddly I get nauseous after eating- with DS I'd be nauseous before and snacks would help. 

stillziggysmom

I'm curled up in the fetal position after heating up pre-made mac and cheese for my son... that's about how I'm feeling, lol

Seriously, though. These hormones are screwing with me way differently than last time. Like, what is this body acne? And dull skin? And sore boobs? And itchiness EVERYWHERE (especially said sore boobs)? I think my favorite is the relaxin hormones making my old hip and back issues haunt me like a crazy ex, haha.

Ain't pregnancy grand?

Hey! At least there's a baby 

acunamatada

@d_marie_23 my hips are acting up lately too. I started feeling a little sciatic niggle too, I need to start stretching more. 

thebabynumberone

I felt a bit of cramping/ tension when I went to the washrooms today for a number 1! Is that normal. I'm week 6 today

Pinky917

This thread just helped me feel so much better. I was starting to get myself a little nervous that I wasn't really feeling much of anything, but now I see I am not alone! I have also been more tired than usual, and for some reason I keep waking up in the middle of the night and struggling to fall back asleep. I was always usually a very heavy sleeper, so this is brand new to me, and it's kicking my butt!

acunamatada

@thebabynumberone I get that from time to time too, especially if my bladder was really full. 

amylu914

@thebabynumberone that was normal for me in my last pregnancy and just started with this one in the last few days. Usually when my bladder is very full. 

adventuresawait1

So. Exhausted. I have an out-and-back work trip tomorrow to Atlanta with a 6:30 am flight and I'm not sure how I will survive the day. Have been sleeping 9-10 hours a day and still feel tired. I guess growing a small human is a lot of work...

bdesterhouse

Anyone else’s boobs hurt so bad during the night it wakes you up? I don’t remember my boobs hurting this bad during any other pregnancy.

christycalifornia

@bdesterhouse YES. And SAME! Plus any extra jiggle is excruciating. I'm holding my boobs going down stairs, and eeeeeeasing them out of my bra at the end of the night. TMI even the motions during sex hurt. I hate it. Not as much as I hate being tired and MS, but it's up there. Give me dizziness back any day. 

bdesterhouse

It was horrible this weekend, especially the nipple pain! Ugh 

djh513

Cold. So very cold. 

flockofmoosen3

I'm only about 4.5 weeks into this pregnancy and the heartburn and minor indigestion just started tonight, food aversions/cravings started yesterday, and I'm crossing my fingers that nausea doesn't kick in early too. With DD bad "morning" sickness (with daily vomiting) started at 6 weeks exactly, and with DS it started at about 7 weeks and then was 10 weeks of hell. I threw up 2-3 times a day with him, including once into a shirt wrapped around my face as I tried to change DD's diaper!

I hope that "morning" sickness is not as bad or worse than it was last time, or I don't know how I'll function.

This is so me! I facilitate strategic planning sessions and meetings all day, and it’s been awful. Last pregnancy my coworker knew the look I got on my face right before I was about to get sick and she’s take over so I could run out... 

acunamatada

I looked down in the shower today and I swear I don't recognize my boobs. I don't remember the whole nipples the size of plates thing happening this early. But man, it's happening.  

christycalifornia

Today I've eaten:
A vitamin
Half an ab&j sandwich
Two La Coix
Three fizzy waters with fruit

I can't make myself eat. This kid's going to start eating my bones. 

4deep

Ha! I didn’t see this thread and just replied on the old one. Today was my first day of feeling like shit. I’m 6+2 and had a terrible headache all day then nausea at the smell of dinner tonight lingering in the house. I had to leave while DH aired it out. So yeah, poop emoji here. 

therealbitts

I'm really tired. Not necessarily sleepy, but physically exhausted, likes every movement takes so much effort. I'm super bitchy and irritated too. Luckily, no nausea yet, but it's early. I know it's coming and I'm preparing for it to hit any day now 

stlmegs

I have an awful migraine that started yesterday afternoon, so today should be interesting. I am going to call my dr when they open and see what I can take. If nothing else I think some anti nausea meds would help at this point. Ugh. 

coco2787

So fucking exhausted.  I've been having the most vivid dreams every night and they last forever (it feels like) and they're often stressful dreams so I wake up feeling like I haven't even slept.   It's driving me insane.  Also, getting up at 6 am when you can't stomach coffee is a special kind of hell.  

Kenya715

+1 to extreme exhaustion and adding nausea. Didn’t have it really at all with DS but the nausea is really kicking my ass. Some days is worse than others and my appetite is pretty much gone. My boobs are ok so far. Already starting to get bigger though, which I wasn’t expecting until much later. Oh and sense of smell is on point. Doesn’t really help the nausea situation. 

stillcozy

my unisom doesn't seem to be helping my nausea this pregnancy. 

Katm89

I have given into pizza cravings. Hubby says I am eating like a toddler now. DD who is 15 months next week was sitting next to me on the couch eating animal crackers and waiting for pizza to arrive .... DH looked at me and said "omg you are so pregnant."

I was so exhausted I almost fell asleep while watching 1 episode of a show with DH... I loved the show and wanted to keep watching, but my eyes were just closing on me.

acunamatada

@Katm89 DH and I are behind on all our shows cause I can't physically stay up until he gets home AND make it through an episode of anything.
