Symptoms Thread! (6/10)

ginger1228

Talk about your symptoms here! 

We can post a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly symptoms thread if this one gets too long. I think some boards to a weekly one. Thoughts? Or wait and see how it goes?

I think weekly sounds good.

Gassy over here like a mofo.  And waves of nausea.  This is my standard first trimester symptoms so I’m just riding it out.

Sore boobs and in need of all the naps, which are both my main first tri symptoms historically. 

Weekly sounds good to me, too.

Nausea is coming and going. Have a “stretchy” feeling in my uterus that may actually be a bit of dehydration. Super exhausted 

jazzyw18

Fatigue is the worst. Cramping has subsided, but I still get a few throughout the day. I've been very hungry lately,  & gassy. My nips are still sore.

ThePax89

So nauseous. No gags and heaves yet. Tired. Gas pains which is a symptom I’ve never felt with any previous pregnancies. I’m super grouchy and mad at my husband. ❤️

ruby696

Tired. So, so tired. But that's really it. I had minimal symptoms with DS and DD, so hoping for the same this time around.

squirttheturtle

The fatigue and insomnia!  Why why why am I so tired and can't sleep?  Hot flashes, which are new this time.  I am dizzy and nauseous today which might just be because of the weather.

canadianmom89

Headaches , sore boobs , nausea... and coffee makes me throw up But no coffee makes the headaches worse so it’s a lose lose situation over here ! 

Edited because the bump cut off half my post

Bloated like a mofo! Uggghh, pants are sooo uncomfortable by the end of the day!
Stretching/aching feeling in my uterus. 
Insomnia, my sleep schedule is crazy right now. 

eliseirene31613

Sore boobs, bloated and gassy!! Feeling pretty sexy
I've also had some mild cramps.

kdrn913

All the nausea, random headaches and sore boobs. Oh yeah and the gas too! DH loves me right now. 

lauriebream

Constantly tired, nausea on and off throughout the day, and so so bloated.

LuLiLaEv

Already so tired, I’m surprised my husband didn’t figure it out with my 3 hour nap yesterday (I never nap, also waiting to tell him until Father’s Day)
Certain things are already making me sick to my stomach. Last pregnancy I had to take diclegis into almost 3rd tri  

Evergreenmist

Wow, as I'm having my first is so helpful to read this thread and see I'm not crazy! I knew to look out for sore boobs, cramping, exhaustion but I wasn't expecting such brutal bloating... I already look pregnant! I know it'll go away but it's ridiculous. Luckily I'm not dealing with MS yet (5w3d) but insomnia is real. I've been waking up everyday at 5:30am without an alarm    So weird. 

Also, has anyone experienced waking up with super dry mouth? It's usually happens to be when I'm hungover (lol) so I'm assuming it's dehydration? I've been trying to drink lots of water but maybe it's not enough. 

catwoman8731

@Evergreenmist dehydration is my #1 symptom right now! So weird, because last pregnancy I couldn’t tolerate water at all and had to add all sorts of stuff to it to get it down. But this time around, I’m drinking constantly, and water is strangely the only thing that will quell the nausea. 

Evergreenmist

@catwoman8731 it seems there's no easy answer for nausea! Different for everyone. I'm lucky I don't have it yet but clearly I'm not drinking enough water  How far along are you?

PizzaMonster3

Waves of nausea and already some food aversion. With my last pregnancy, the boob ache WAS REAL so it’s very weird I haven’t had that yet. 

conchispita

@PizzaMonster3 I haven’t had any boob aches either. Maybe because they’ve already been stretched out?

mainemama_

Does anybody have jaw pain? I had it with my 2nd pregnancy and it's so bad this time!

canadianmom89

@mainemama_ I’m probably not the best point of reference since I had prosthetic jaw joints put in in September but (TW) with both my peregnancy that ended in miscarriage (end tw) in feb. and now I’ve been having some jaw pain. I was in constant pain before my surgery but my surgery took away 100% of my pain ... I’m not sure what it is about pregnancy that’s causing pain but it sucks  

kmonroe2

Super bloated and tired! I look 12 weeks pregnany already! 

mainemama_

@canadianmom89 I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My husband thinks I am crazy when I tell him my jaw hurts because of pregnancy. It's the weirdest symptom though, I was eating dinner before I got my BPF and it locked up and I was like yup, pretty sure I'm KU.

catwoman8731

@Evergreenmist I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow. No other symptoms though than nausea if I don’t drink enough (I also take b6 supplements, as that helped last time)

Evergreenmist

@catwoman8731 I'm taking B12 - maybe worth switching to B6? Something I'll ask my doc for sure .

@kmonroe2 Glad it's not just me!

becks_726

The nausea kicked in this afternoon when I suddenly realized, in the middle of the hardware store, that I needed to eat now or I'd puke. Luckily I had a snack on me. At 4w5 I was hoping I had a bit more time before that kicked in...
Besides that my boobs have been sore but no more than what I'd typically experience around ovulation.

squishy0511

Glad to hear others don’t have any breast soreness- I had it with my first and absolutely none now which was making me nervous! I’m just gassy and tired right now. 

allthingsgo

Same here on the minimal to no breast soreness. They were super sore with DD. I only weaned a few months ago so maybe that’s why? The MS is more intense some days than others. I enjoy the breaks but it makes me nervous. I’m also very tired but I usually am with chasing a toddler around all day.

**Possible TW** Anyone else experiencing brown spotting? I had a little last morning and a little more this morning. I also spotted a couple days before my BFP. I’m 4 weeks and terrified! I POAS again last night and the line did get darker, so hopefully that’s a good sign, but I can’t stop worrying and googling. PGAL brain all over the place here.

Ktrue85

@grebretso Brown means old blood which is typical in the first trimester as things are settling in your uterus.  You are justified in worrying, but I had it was my first successful pregnancy.  If it turns red or picks up speed, I’d maybe phone the nurse line and see what they say.

etnyah

Thanks @Ktrue85! That’s what my dr’s office said too when I called yesterday.

I guess I worry more than I need to, especially since **TW** I had an early loss in January which started out with brown spotting that turned red after a few days. **end TW**

The rational part of me knows this is perfectly normal, but the irrational part is making me scream internally non-stop. Hearing about other people who have experienced it too and had healthy pregnancies is reassuring! Thanks again!

JenRN2009

So much fatigue. Also already emotional. I've teared up for quite a few things recently that did not require tears.

Evergreenmist

@grebretso I'm having the same as of just now but very light pink accompanied by light cramping. This is my first pregnancy and first BFP after two years of TTC so I'm also quite worried. I have heard it's normal and my clinic said only to worry if you go through a pad but still. The 

leendenny

Hi there! First time posting. I have been having some hella fatigue and occasional headaches.  Also so very thirsty!!  Otherwise, not much going on with me just yet.  I had no MS with my DD so maybe I'll get lucky twice?

etnyah

@Evergreenmist a little pink is definitely fine! After two years of TTC you definitely deserve the healthiest pregnancy possible!

 I’m definitely not going through a pad, but I am currently using a liner just to have a clearer picture of what’s going on. And also inspecting every piece of used toilet paper very closely. Being PG makes you nuts and gross, apparently!

Evergreenmist

@grebretso Yeah I definitely took a picture of it... lol. We certainly are crazy! Haha. Nice to have a group to be able to check in with - makes it all a little more normal 

Evergreenmist

***TW***

I may be out, friends. Heavy bleeding for a few hours now. I am very sad and scared. Went to my clinic and they did some blood work but I won't get the results until the morning and I'm waiting to see how long the bleeding continues to know whether it's still viable. 

becks_726

I'm thinking of you, @Evergreenmist. 

Venessa88

So sorry @Evergreenmist. I am keeping you in my thoughts. ❤

allthingsgo

I’m so sorry to hear this @Evergreenmist please rest as much as you can. Will be thinking of you

etnyah

Oh no @Evergreenmist! I’m so sorry. The waiting part is so hard, I hope you find out what’s going on as fast as possible.
