@zombiehoohaa girl, I'm so sorry. I hate the waiting game. I had spotting last week and a little pink again yesterday. Like, stop it. If it's going to happen, get it over with; if not, knock it off. I hope it stops for you and all is well xox
Around the time I would have normally had my period I had super tender boobs and a lot of cramping. (I have endometriosis so it was still nothing compared to what they usually are.) The cramps would wake me up in the middle of the night and last about 2 minutes then I'd fall back asleep. It was like that for a few days, then they calmed way down. Now I'm 6 weeks and still have sore boobs and occasionally cramping but they're both mild. Anyone else experience a change like that? I was worried at first but now it's been two weeks with no changes.
Nausea all the time. It feels as if I have a rock in my throat that I want to gag out. But it's the same as last time. I'm trying to hold it together because last time this lasted til about 8 months. I want to punch anyone that tells me "it'll be over soon." No it won't. No appetite. I have to force food down. I vomit twice a day still even though I'm on medication. The smells!!! Even my own child smells weird to me. I have to put in a lot of effort to care about other people's problems. I'm a nurse but luckily am only casual now. So I don't have to deal with people telling me they feel sick. Cuz I just want to shove it in their faces. My SIL texted me saying she has had a headache and has been tired for two days and asked me to diagnose her. I ignored the text. Haha. I'm in full bitch mode. Last time my sickness didn't start till 9 weeks so I'm pretty upset that I've already been sick for 3 and I'm not even 9 weeks yet!! End rant.
Does anyone else only get nauseated in the afternoon? I guess it makes sense because when I was taking 5,000 hpts they were always darker in the afternoon. I guess that's when the hcg is more concentrated in my system. Ughhhhh.
Is uglyness a symptom, because I have that going on. I've been noticing it recently, I just look kinda blah, dull ugly skin, breaking out on my chin, even my hair looks lame.
@runsomewhere THIS! I’m right there with you. Maybe the old wives tale is true and we’re having girls...the babies are stealing our beauty
@ashbub714 haha I was totally thinking about that old wives tale this morning while cringing at my reflection! I don't remember being this busted looking w/ my DD though
My nausea has finally eased off (it lasted about 2.5 weeks). I didn’t get sick at all with my first child so this was all new to me this go around. I am extremely tired and my face is breaking out a little.
I’m just beat. I’ve been nauseous since i found out at like 5w2d and I’m 9w3d today. Not eating has taken a toll on me. I feel broken. I don’t want to complain to anyone in RL because they say it’s just for a short while and then I’ll feel my baby. But I feel like I’ve been in purgatory for a month and to all I have to hold on too is I have a month to go possibly does not give me strength. I’ve made the decision to not get pregnant again. I’m gonna have to do something to remind myself and beat the baby amnesia but this right here might be enough. And one truely might be enough. I’m not the richest and he/she will have lots of cousins. Thank you ladies for being hear just so we can all be heard. I feel your pain truely and I hope for one day we all be on the same page where we’re alright. Because right now I am not alright.

I'm with you! This is my second and I'm considering writing myself a letter that I can read in two years to remind myself I should just be happy with two kids. I'm acting as if this is the last time I'm pregnant so I can try to cherish things but right now it just all around sucks. I don't want to complain to anyone in real life either because I know nobody immediately close to me understands because they either have never been pregnant or did not get any morning sickness. The worst is when someone tells me to do more work then I already am, being pretty much a single mother (DH is away a lot for work and has been gone a month.) All I can advise to you is keep eating. Even when everything tastes gross and you're pretty sure you're going to throw it up anyways, get something into that belly! Don't stick to any diet right now. Put whatever you can inside you. If that means you're drinking half a can of coke and a burger then let it be! Better then nothing.
@babygagnon2018 my started around 5 weeks and steadily got worse until 8 weeks when it turned into actual vomiting. Not fun. Ginger ale helped at first but I switched to just fresh ginger and lemon with hot water which both worked better and had less sugar/chemicals as ginger ale. Also had plain bagels rather than crackers (but that might just be my NYC self continuing to solve all problems with bagels). Hope you feel better!
I'm 6+3 and it came on so strong the past few days. I'm sitting at work praying it stops drinking gingerale and eating crackers any other tips?
Mine started around 6 weeks, still going strong at 8+5 but yesterday was a good day (almost no sickness all day), and this morning is not super bad, so I’m hoping and praying it’s going to trail off now. Fingers crossed!
@devilcat139 I hear you, dry food like crackers does not sound very good, I prefer bready soft things - bread, flour tortillas, etc- when I'm nauseous.
Sooooo exhausted this week. I tried to cut back on coffee but I’m thinking I’m going to have to have at least a cup a day for my sanity.
Also, my sex drive is ridiculously low. I feel so bad for my husband I made it happen last night but it was tough to not just roll over and go to sleep. Will I ever actually want to again!?!?
@beanship. Yes! This pregnancy is so different than my first with the nausea. I had terrible nausea with the first but by the evening it would let up. This time the reverse is happening! I'm ok in the morning but by 3pm I'm dying. It's been difficult to fall asleep. My doctor suggested the unisom and b6 combo. It's been helping...thank God! I'm 9+2weeks and hoping for relief soon. Hang in there!
Glad I read through all these because it’s a reminder I’m not alone! I forgot how miserable 1st Tri is. RLP, nausea, has pain, severe exhaustion, back pain, headache... and here’s a new one... tooth pain!
I stayed home yesterday and layed in bed all day. I'm still spotting however its random and looks like dirty oil (best comparison I could think of). I broke down and went to an ultrasound place that does transabdominal for $45. She found a nice size sac however no fetal pole, which I read was normal when doing an abdominal ultrasound at 6 weeks & 3 days. Hopefully, I'll see something next Wednesday at my first appointment. Thank you everyone for your kind words. Taking it easy until next wednesday.
@babygagnon2018 My nausea started at 5+6. I eat these very small ginger snaps by Shasha Co. (bought at Whole Foods but I'm sure you can find them online if there's no WF in your area). They've helped!
@ashbub714 I'm right there with you. 0 sex drive. My last one was like this but the 2nd tri was a different story. The cramping is bad this time and I'm so tired.
Still no pregnancy symptoms here but I have a cold and such a sore throat. I took a sick day today and slept till almost 10 which is insane for me as I'm usually up at 5:15 for work. Sadly I'm wasting the day away on the couch.
@n3wmamma I felt that way with my 1st and I feel that way again now. It took me 4 years to forget how bad it was. This is definitely going to be my last pregnancy. I agree with the advice to try and just keep eating, no matter what it is.

@brittany121087 oh good! I’ll be looking forward to the second trimester then!
Oh god am I tired!!! I can literally sleep for ages !!! We are suppose to go to a Christmas tree lighting here in town and I just canceled because I’m so tired and feel like crappppp!!! I doubt my 9 mo actually cares but still !!!
Well I was holding up ok until today. Nausea kicked in full force and now that coupled with the exhaustion is starting to take its toll when I’m already chasing my DD’s all over the place. I’m supposed to do a holiday craft show tomorrow and the thought of doing all that nauseous.... ugh.
My bowel movements are exceptionally painful. I had diarrhea off and on for a few weeks, and now I only go every few days (which is in keeping with my last pregnancy) and it's a process drawn out over two hours, with lots of painful gas, cramping, and leg weakness and cramps while I lie on the couch in between trips to the bathroom. I honestly don't know which is worse. No, I do. This is. I'm rendered useless until the bout passes and it sucks. It's not rabbit poop yet, still soft at least, but it HURTS. I have an appointment Thursday and plan to talk to the new CNM about it and the severity of my morning sickness when it hits.
I told my husband tonight that after this kid, #3, NO MORE BABIES! I can't take the MS. Nothing stays in my stomach or I'm battling nausea trying to keep it there.
@christycalifornia sorry about your poop troubles. My bowels can't decide if they want to be constipated or uncomfortablly soft, I can't say which I'd rather but it'd be nice if it would decide already.
@zombiehoohaa I get that too, and off to the right a bit. RLP FTW! Don't worry, it'll only last until the kid's big enough to start punching your kidneys from the inside.

Ugh...now I understand when my mom used, "because I have birth to you" as a reason. I'm a pussy with pain. This should be a fun 9 months.
anyone have SPD in a previous pregnancy? im already getting the ache and pull in my pelvic girdle and did not think it was possible this early with baby being so tiny. m

I've been experiencing this weird twinge of pain shooting from my belly button to my vag. What other pains do we have to look forward to?
