Symptoms - Week of 7/15

christac1010

Another week down. How’s everyone feeling? 

mschanandlerbong1214

So so so nauseous. Like compulsive swallowing and dry heaving. And so exhausted all the time. 

ETA - bloated. So bloated. 

JLaVO888

I finally have boobs again! And they are sore. Other than that not a whole lot. Just hints of fatigue. With DD I had so many early symptoms. It’s kind of weird having an opposite pregnancy so far. 

novelblessings

I have no appetite and I’ve been only slightly nauseous on and off. My boobs are killing me today and I’m still pretty tired, but not like last time. Oh and the bloat continues...

maggiemadeit

My goodness, the morning sickness. I have only thrown up a handful of times, but I can’t stomach anything between 5 and 11am, and I am starting to get crazy food aversions... to almost everything. The only thing that doesn’t make me want to vomit is fruits and vegetables. 

Oh, and TMI but the constipation and bloat are very real. 

dtspmama

The severe nausea i had seems to have sort of gone away, which is freaking me out, tbh. Still tired AF and craaaaaaanky.

Exhaustion, no appetite (basically forcing myself to eat), nausea, sore boobs, and gassy! And for some reason a strong aversion to water which is strange because it’s all we drink in our house. 

Allycat11

Super tired, boobs are sore, bloated and waves of nausea. Food aversions are starting so that is no fun. Usually I am actually more nauseous by now. 

mamaoftwomonkeys

Wayyy more nauseous with this pregnancy, and hating it!

thedaint87

I just feel bleh all the time. I can't pinpoint the exact feeling beyond being tired. I think maybe I need to drink more water?  Also, the super sniffer I back. DH hung up some shelves yesterday and the smell of the fresly drilled drywall was overwhelming. 

christac1010

Nauseous. So nauseous. Luckily I’m still hungry and when I do throw up, I’m able to keep it to dry heaving... so far. I hit 6 weeks around now (still no exact EDD) and it’s on a severe upswing this weekend. The same thing happened with DS and it didn’t stop until 16w (minus a very brief break around 9-10w). 

My boobs are on fire, RLP is already kicking in especially when I sneeze, constipation and bloating are giving me a nice pre baby bump, and I’m exhausted. My boss asked me after a meeting why I looked so disengaged and if everything was alright at home (blamed the toddler not STTN which isn’t a complete lie). Also I am PISSY. I feel bad for DH. But then again not really. 

mschanandlerbong1214

@christac1010 I thought I was crazy but my RLP has started too 

sew322

I have been having sore breasts (heavy and tingly). I have kept htem strapped down with a sports bra. Lol. When If I start getting too hungry I begin feeling nauseous and a slight headache. I can't stop yawning and have had cramping sensations which I am chalking up to uturine stretching. 

kerco925

Still occasional nausea and occasional fatigue. Oh, and I am still a rage monster. 

mappowell

Hey mamas! I’m 7w3d today and haven’t been feeling great the past few weeks...insanely tired and much worse nausea (it’s literally all day long) than with my daughter...but I’m super happy to be pregnant I’m trying to just power through!❤️

tfraz2016

Will be 7-8 weeks tomorrow (waiting on exact due date from MD). Boobs finally feel better (were awful week 4-5), but apparently still hate a towel after a shower. Nausea has ramped up this week and I’ve had some meals refuse to stay down. So excited for this baby though, so I’ll take whatever we’ve got! 

eggsandwich2019

Nauseous basically all day, but no throwing up, gassy and bloated, heavy sore boobs, and am hating the way everything smells. I’m hungry all the time but don’t know what I want to eat, basically I’m totally great to be around!

JLaVO888

@christac1010 @mschanandlerbong1214 I was just googling if it was too early for RLP becuase I thought for sure I was making it up in my head. Glad to hear I’m not the only one feeling it already. 

lovesclimbing

Sick but no puking yet. Occasional hard cramps toward my sides when I stand up or change positions suddenly. Tired. 

I'm feeling like a very good healthy person because I've been feeling turned off by sugar. Last night, I had cake and ice cream, and didn't feel the greatest after.  So today, I turned it down. Current mood vv. 

3rdtime_charmed

So much bloating. I feel like a blimp!!

maggiemadeit

@lovesclimbing I am off sugar too. Although tbh I am off of most things right now. 

valentynsi

I'm tired all the freaking time! I don't sleep well at night. I toss and turn all night long.  I gave up caffeine so I thought I would be able to sleep a little better but apparently not. I'm always thirsty so I drink a lot of water so I'm always getting up to pee. I feel like I am hungry all the time. My breasts hurt.... Hmm... I think I might also be a little grumpy. Haha 

WkoutMomtoBe

TIRED! Since before I even got my BFP. I do not recall tiredness first time around. I'm only 4 weeks, 3 days but I've been tired since 3 weeks....

char245

@valentynsi yes to everything you said! I feel
like I wrote that myself haha!

indigoheightsblog

Other than being super hungry, I feel hardly any symptoms!!!! Everyone says “you’re lucky” but my anxiety would really be more at ease if this little blueberry would let me know they’re OK...... I’m 7 weeks and 1 day and I honestly feel great. First pregnancy so nothing to go off of. I should add - I’m making an effort to eat more and I’ve gone off caffeine. Both of those things typically make me feel hungrier, so who knows if the hunger is even pregnancy related! Super frustrating! Can’t wait for my U/S this Friday. 

meggyme

@indigoheightsblog incredible hunger was my main symptom last time around. That and headaches. This time around I'm feeling pretty hungry with a touch of very mild nausea on occasion.

Twiggster

So, so hungry for carbs and it’s not good because we recently changed our lifestyle to paleo-ish for my son. I’m also incredibly tired... I forgot how tired early pregnancy makes you. I am grateful, though, for my symptoms. It’s making it feel more real. ❤️ 

lalalauren15

Exhausted constantly, nausea all day but no vomiting or extreme food aversions so I feel lucky there, sore breasts. This morning I woke up with hives. I have no idea if that is a symptom, but I haven't changed anything in my diet/shampoo/soap/etc. Wake up about 2-3 times every night to pee. Overall, not great, but am thankful as I know my body is putting me through this to make a little baby.

sew322

@valentynsi YES. I have been having so much trouble sleeping at night. It takes forever for me to fall asleep and then I wake up randomly and lay there forever trying to go back to sleep. In the late afternoon, all I want ot do is nap!

bluebell08

@christac1010 @mschanandlerbong1214 I sneezed the other day and everything contracted and held.. needless to say I freaked out and googled. So glad to hear I'm not the only one!! 

Afternoon nausea is real.. I haven't actually vomited but I just keep waiting on it to happen. 

valentynsi

@SWhitehead322 I literally take a nap or two every single day. Thankfully my work schedule is such that I CAN. If I couldn't get a nap in I would be the worst person ever to be around. Before I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend left for an exercise with the navy and I started taking naps during the day, but just thought it was depression because he's gone. Then about two weeks after he left I found out I was pregnant and realized that must have been what was going on. I never even put it together before the BFP. 

chocolatelemons

@valentynsi I feel the same! I’m exhausted all the time and I wake up throughout the night. I’ve never been a great sleeper, but this is definitely worse.

3rdtime_charmed

My feet are so cold today! I googled it and apparently as the old wives tale goes that means I’m having a boy. I keep trying to nap but between my cold feet and needing to pee, I’m pretty miserable!

pipsqueak624

I'm 7 weeks, 3 days, and the peeing is driving me nuts!  random smells make me nauseous, like my husband washed his hands with our peach bellini soap while I was cooking dinner and I had to walk to a different room, it was horrible!  Yet I'm a nurse, and none of those smells i'm so lucky to smell all day bother me, except alcohol prep pads...could be because I'm on PIO and dread that shot every night!

kapowfal

My boobs hurt and my lower back feels like it's in a vice. I remember the lower back pain with my daughter, so I'm trying to be happy about it, quite unsuccessfully I might add.

christac1010

@kapowfal I had awful back pain last time and it started in the first trimester. It’s just starting again now.  

KatieMarie784

I feel like my digestion has slowed to a turtle's pace. Feel uncomfortable and full after eating so been trying to only eat little bits at a time and graze all day. I don't have morning sickness but will feel super queasy later in the day. Boobs feel full and sensitive. Feel like my bras are tight already. Have no trouble falling asleep but then wake up wide awake at 1 or 2 a.m. and can't fall back asleep for a while. Had brown spotting for a week but thankfully ultrasound and hcg levels look good. On the days I force myself to get a little cardio in I feel much better!

Morningstar80

Last week after I had my first beta I felt my uterus stretching and making room. It was uncomfortable but very comforting. This week all I´ve had is a random pain in my left hip/butt cheek. I´m starting to worry that I don´t feel anything else. I have my first ultrasound on Monday so I´ll know more then. 

pipsqueak624

My little petrie is very angry with me the last two days, I have been pretty constant nausea, and some sharper cramping in my uterus off and on.  I tried to play in our volleyball games last night and barely made it through 1 game and I had to sit out.  Now today I'm super bloated and feel like I have to go to the bathroom, but I just cant go   I hope petrie settles down soon!  Also my DH doesnt seem to like that I call the baby Petrie, but since we did IVF, i thought it was adorable lol.

meggyme

@pipsqueak624 I think it's adorable. One of the ladies on another bmb calls hers baby blast for blastocyst.

catlady2015

@pipsqueak624 - petrie is an adorable nickname, especially since you did IVF!! 

I have no energy right now. I went to the gym this morning and had to do my miles on the bike. I hate the bike, but I needed to get something in. Other than that, I'm just hot ALL of the time. I wake up sweating in the middle of the night or very early morning. I keep telling myself that feeling hot is a good sign and I just want to tattoo it on my hand to keep reminding myself of it!
