Monthly symptoms thread (May)

@MrsJessS I feel the fatigue big time. Nothing really sounds good to eat and whatever I do eat, I get pretty queasy after.

magalina_h

@MrsJessS Same!  I've been miserable.  The nausea has been the worst.  I seem to be mostly fine during the day at work (thankfully), but as soon as it hits 4pm, I'm dead to the world.  It's such a vicious cycle because I know I need to eat to help keep the nausea at bay, but the last thing I want to do is eat. 

Lisa3379

@MrsJessS Yup. For me it was right as 7 weeks hit - I went from nausea in the evening to nausea all day long. Yesterday I was barely able to do anything and was napping by 11am. And yeah, everything sounds awful (except for Cheez-Its?) and then after I eat I want to die. 

relizabethp

Anyone still not having major symptoms- im at 5 weeks and feeling pretty ok..

Lisa3379

@relizabethp I feel like I didn't have major symptoms at 5 weeks, or if I did, they were pretty mellow. Things really kicked in for me at 6 weeks. I barely had symptoms during the 1st tri of my second pregnancy. It totally varies. 

pajamstagrams

@relizabethp I felt super sick the entire first tri (starting at 6 weeks) with DD. 7 weeks today and barely feel anything 🤷‍♀️ 

laurabridget

@relizabethp i’m almost 7 and feel nothing! not even as tired as i was in the beginning. i feel like i should be happy and consider myself lucky but i hate the feeling of not feeling even a little bit pregnant! 

relizabethp

I agree with you @laurabridget -with my DD i was horrifically sick and while it was terrible at least i had reassurance that everything was going well in there..

Limes030

OMG what did I eat today!!?? Tmi.. so much gas!! Is this a symptom? So awful! 🤣

sheenaco

momagain2022

7 weeks today... nausea is here and migraines are back. 😭😭

firewife2021

Ok ladies this one is a weird one. I briefly remember this with DS. Anyone else having frequent nose bleeds. Or a super dry nose!?

sarah_is_pregnant

@fifilala516 I felt nothing until week 6 or 7 in my first pregnancy. Freaked me out. Then a bit of nausea hit, lasted a week or 2, and was gone. 
Don't worry!!

alpacamama2

@firewife2021 Slightly stuffy nose -yes. But no nose bleeds for me. That's one I havent heard of yet!

fifilala516

@firewife2021 Yes, I have the stuffy nose - I always have one at night but it's definitely more severe lately.

dani_0921

Oh how the nausea has hit. I do not remember this with my first two. I'm also thinking it may be sinus drainage, but my goodness. 

alpacamama2

@dani_0921 uff, I have also been hit hard with nausea today. Is this a week 6 thing? Getting through this work day is gonna be ROUGH 😩

chelswcu12

Hi! This is my first pregnancy ever! I am 5 weeks today and don’t feel much. My boobs are a little sore and maybe just a tiny bit more tired than usual. Had a small about of cramping that went away. I have my first ultrasound next week at 6 weeks! I hope I’ll be able to see something! I’m so nervous!

Limes030

@chelswcu12 hi! Exciting!! I'm at 6 weeks and feel about the same as you. I get my first ultrasound at 8 weeks.. can't wait!

karenmarie9

@chelswcu12 - I have the exact same symptoms too!! 

Lisa3379

How about this one: I can’t stand the smell of anything. ANYTHING. My own deodorant. My kids after they’ve had a bath (the soap smell is too strong). The kids’ sunscreen. My dogs. Everything is god awful. 😩

justjenaya

The nausea is real. My purse now contains disposable throw up bags, wipes, ginger candy and electrolyte power to add to a bottle of water. 

dani_0921

Sweetie Pie Organics Nausea Relief drops (peach ginger) are a life saver for .y queasiness! I highly suggest them.

fifilala516

@Lisa3379 Same, especially the hand sanitizer DH uses. Killer.

alpacamama2

Nausea seems to have calmed down this evening... but now I am craving beans?? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

karenmarie9

@Lisa3379 - definitely a ton of smell sensitivity. I felt so horrible telling my husband his stinky feet were bothering me and could he please go change his socks 🤣. 

Lisa3379

@fifilala516 Oh, hand sanitizer is brutal. But guess what? I randomly found a little can of ginger ale in the fridge! Must've been from my last pregnancy. It was like I found the holy grail, you guys 

relizabethp

Has anyone had foot swelling yet ? This is the first hot day here and my feet swelled as soon as i took my shoes off - it’s gonna be a long summer 

Limes030

Omg I think I got food poisoning.. but have no idea what from. 😳 started 4 hours ago.. sure hope i feel better soon. 🤦

dani_0921

Anyone know if spotting two days after a pap is normal? Like hadn't spotted until now, and had it Wednesday...

firewife2021

@dani_0921 I had one on Tuesday with my ultrasound. And I asked my doc if spotting was normal afterwords and he told me yes. I have a "sensitive cervix" that gets irritated, and in pregnancy I have spotted after a pap, spotted after sex. My first pregnancy I spotted the entire first trimester. I know spotting can be scary at anytime. But it's not always bad. If you are super worried or it gets worse call your doctor. 

dani_0921

@firewife2021 I don't think I'd be concerned if it had started the day of my pap. She told me I'd bleed, but I didn't think it'd be delayed two days. I'll keep an eye on it.

relizabethp

Has anyone had the feeling of being “off” - im tired , shaky, my muscles hurt- overall just feel not great??

elksamm

@relizabethp i feel like this all the time :(

Limes030

I feel so much better today. It was totally food poisoning. I do not recommend it. 😂

Lisa3379

@Limes030 glad to hear you’re feeling better! 

daisymomof3

I’m not sure if I’m more nauseous this pregnancy or I notice more now that I have two kids running around but sheeesh. I feel gross all day long. I told my husband it’s like spinning in circles but not getting dizzy - just the yucky belly. 

sheenaco

I am 8 weeks 6 days.. I was really nausea.. but then it went away this week and got more energy. Nervous since my symptoms have gone down even though reading it was normal. 

sheenaco

Last week I did have to call out work due to a migraine that lasted for 3 days but didnt know if it was a  pregnancy symptom??

rachel0428

I’m 9 weeks today and have the first migraine of pregnancy.. going on 3 days. I would get them occasionally before. Trying to push fluids and I’ve taken Tylenol a couple times but trying to be careful.. I heard headaches can pick up around 8-9 weeks when hormones are peaking.
