Symptoms week of 2/5

limeburst

I am a little fatigued and get mild waves of nausea  very occasionally. I agree with you @kiwi2628 PAIF brain can go ef itself. Lack of symptoms definitely makes me nervous. My first u/s can’t come soon enough. 

kimberbeep

I can't tell if I'm nervous/excited or nauseous!

@christina4436 I know what you mean. I’m thinking how long will this last every day! Also totally agree, stop asking for nausea! My 27 month old is being neglected. 

@sarahzett my pregnancy brain has been bad. I’ve gotten in two parking lot accidents since I got pregnant. I backed up into another car and swiped a bumper. 

@kimberbeep Your probably excited the nausea is a beast!

@cdepperschmidt omg! That’s crazy. I am glad you are alright and glad we can all commiserate with our pregnancy brains

I'm 4 weeks, 2 days. The boob tenderness is getting a bit much. Occassional super mild nausea (I had nausea but no vomitting with my other pgs). And I want to eat all the things and sleep all the time, but then wake up and can't get back to sleep...
Oh well, let the fun begin!

holly_owensmom

Anybody else have this issue?

I feel hungry and excited to eat dinner. I sit down take 3 bites and already feel full. And not just full but like I’ve eaten a truck full of food.

elro0815

@hoping4lilbit yes! It’s so frustrating, especially because nausea officially kicked in hard today and I know eating will help. Also feeling super tired, easily winded, and breasts are still really tender. 

midwestmom12

Bloat and shortness of breath. Looking forward to u/s bc I feel totally normal most of the time which freaks me out!!

sammierose464

@hoping4lilbit I'm the same. I'll be hungry, eat a bit and then feel super full and bloated.

For the last few days the nausea will disappear for a while and as soon as I really start to panic that it's all over, it reappears. Lol I'm going to lose my mind pretty soon. I had nausea all day yesterday until dinner time. Then was fine until I woke up at 1 am and couldn't get back to sleep until 3. Then back again when I woke up at 6. Then nothing until just now. This is insane. Also, I bought myself a body pillow this morning so hopefully that helps me sleep tonight! I've been sleeping really well for the most part, but just waking up a lot. I just have a hard time getting comfortable when I'm so bloated at the end of the day. 

cdepperschmidt

@hoping4lilbit I have this problem, it’s terrible at dinner time. 

chopchop25

Woke up today with zero symptoms and it's freaking me out. Still bloated a bit according to H, but I don't feel uncomfortable anymore.
Anybody else having little to no symptoms?

diaphena

@hoping4lilbit I have had this happen on and off too, some days I notice it more than others. It feels like there's no room in there!

I've had more indigestion and bloating than nausea at this point. The times I do get nauseous, it is pretty mild, and then some days like today, I feel totally fine. Like some others here have said, it does make me worry a little bit. I'm hoping my other symptoms are good signs, and trying to not stress about it.

kimberbeep

@chopchop25 - Basically no symptoms here, but I'm only estimated to be at like 3.5 weeks. I felt sick-ish Monday, but I honestly think that was just nervousness from a positive test! 

acciocoffee

@chopchop25 I think it's normal, especially for how early we are. I don't remember my pregnancy with DD very well, but I don't think I got the all day sickness until I was at least 6 weeks and it wasn't really bad until about 8 weeks. My friend who is due in August told me that her morning sickness would come and go the entire first trimester though. Some days she was violently ill and then the next day she felt completely normal. That made me feel a lot better. 

chopchop25

Thanks @kimberbeep and @acciocoffee! So glad you ladies are here for so many reasons

breanneestafford1

Hi all ! I am 5w1d and have no symptoms at all it’s making me nervous but just going to enjoy it I guess. dr apt is in 2 weeks. Cannot come soon enough !

melopoly

5 weeks + 3 days. So far my only symptoms are sensitive boobs, bloating and congestion. I’m getting off easy! Knock on wood. 

quiltandknit

+1 for minimal symptoms. I have some mild cramping for the past week, mild breast tenderness and I’m tired. No nausea or food issues yet, thank God!

cdepperschmidt

Ladies, with my last pregnancy symptoms did show up until 6 weeks. Before 6 weeks the only thing I had was my boobs were bigger and a mild headache. Don’t worry, 4 weeks is still very earlyz

chyvie

@chopchop25 my best friend who is 7 weeks says she has little to no symptoms. So I think it really varies from person to person. Hang in there and enjoy being symptom free for just a little longer! 

olivemomma

6 weeks today and waves of nausea are starting to hit! And peeing like a racehorse - I swear there are times during the day I have to pee every 10 minutes!

tabbiekat13

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and as of yesterday afternoon nausea has officially kicked in! (I had none of that with DS but doesn't look like I will be that lucky this go round.) Other than that I have had insomnia, hot and cold flashes, sore boobs on and off, and waves of dizziness.

kimberbeep

Here's a weird one - Some people crack their knuckles, I crack my wrists. Just every few days, I rotate them around and they pop. I don't have to do any forcing, and usually I do both wrists at the same time, but I usually feel a little stiffness or pain, like they are "stuck" and rotating them helps. Today, my left wrist won't. stop. POPPING! TBH, I have no idea if it's a weird pregnancy thing, or just my weird wrist. I've been doing this probably for the last 5-6 years and never have I had this much popping going on! 

sammierose464

Is elevated heart rate normal? Especially this early? I wear a fitbit HR daily, and my usual resting HR is 73. Over the past 2-3 weeks my tracker shows it's raised to about 88. I'm 4w5d.

sammierose464

@kimberbeep - i crack my ankles and wrists, although that's been pre-pregnancy.

cdepperschmidt

@sammierose464 I noticed my resting heart rate went up around 4 weeks. 

meltonjl

So exhausted, sore breasts, every now and then a wave of nausea. I had really bad nausea last time, but can’t remember when it started. I am grateful it hasn’t been as bad, but like many of the other women here I am worried it hasn’t been going on much. This time I have forced myself to eat protein when feeling nausea coming on so maybe that is actually helping. 

pebbledam

@sammierose464 - My HR went up to about 86 during the TWW, but now at 4w6d it's pretty much leveled out at 82, which is definitely higher than the 74 it was before pregnancy!

hacharles

Is anyone’s cramping feeling like round ligament pain? I don’t remember having it this early last time 

hellopartyof5

My knees have been really hurting and it's making me feel so old. Last week it was my left knee, now it's my right. I'd love to continue working out, but I've learned the hard way that pushing through a hurt knee is a no go. 

KFrob

@hacharles Yes!  I definitely do not remember it this early last time.  Its part of the reason I knew to test.

Duckie678

@sammierose464 the sneezing thing is strange and totally random, but I had it last time around as well. Also about the HR being elevated, your body is producing more blood for baby. 

@acciocoffee yay! I'm glad you broke down and got a pillow! Enjoy

The RLP can start earlier thank before for those who have been through this before, since your body already knows what's going down. 

acciocoffee

Guys. The body pillow is amazing. I still woke up a couple times during the night, but I just readjusted and fell right back to sleep. It was incredible. 

drb2424

 4 weeks here and the intense smells started before I tested positive.  Last time I had horrible strong sense of smell and constant vomiting the who 9 months.  This weekend my husband joked to throw away the tests since my nose can tell us when I am pregnant

Other than the hound-nose, I am having dizziness, bloating and mild nausea so far.

drb2424

@duckie678 @sammierose4646 I had intense and loud sneezing with my last pregnancy and it never went away!! I cant even imagine it getting worse this time around.  I also have allergies year round but thought it was hilarious how forceful my sneezing got

krgriffin26

Boobs hurt like a bish, so much bloat, narcoleptic, and nauseous as heck  

hellopartyof5

A couple more symptoms have started: dandruff (which actually started with DS as well, thank goodness for TJs tea tree shampoo) and bloody noses (which started with DD as well.) Apparently I'm getting the worst of each pregnancy ha!

cirrra

I am afraid the morning sickness is kicking in. (week 6 today!) I am not nauseous per say, but the thought of food is ... weird. And I def feel you ladies on the bloat!
