That actually sounds wonderful @fifilala516! I am having terrible insomnia so am awake by 3 or 4am everyday and can’t get back to sleep. Hoping to catch a long nap today and recoup some of the 💤’s I missed!
@fifilala516 ugh I’m so sorry! I feel your pain! That was me yesterday...today is a little better! It’s sucks not knowing how you’re gonna feel each day! Hang in there ❤️
Yesterday was really bad for me. I was super tired and felt like gagging. I am so glad I am a stay at home mom because I'm not sure I could function at a job at the moment!
I’m 8 weeks and can smell EVERYTHING...and it’s all making me gag...I can’t eat...literally nothing sounds good and when I do eat even something small, I feel so full and like I want to throw up... I just want to cry! I hope this gets better after the first trimester 😢😢😢
@chelswcu12 Yes, I randomly gag from smells too. I don’t eat because I’m so queasy and then I get so ravenous that I stuff myself and feel even sicker. It’s miserable.
Hungry almost all the time. Not sure how to gain slowly with this hunger. Last week my nurse said I should gain like 20-25 lbs. I gained 30 last time 🤷♀️ not sure what to do about that. Some round ligament stretching now .. feels weird. Nipples extra sensitive and pointy 😂. Still really bad gas. So embarrassing.
Nausea seemed better last week but then I vomited 3x on Thursday. Again seemed to be better this weekend. No vomiting at all. But then after my first work appointment this morning... you guessed it! I vomited. 😫 I am also EXHAUSTED. And coffee doesnt even taste good to me anymore so I can barely choke down my one cup.
@fifilala516 This pattern you describe sounds verrrrry familiar 😆
Anyone else come off antidepressants when they found out they were pregnant? I was taking 10mg daily of lexapro and I am completely off now and struggling 😢 so emotional and cannot sleep 😢
@chelswcu12 I’m not but why are you weaning off? They are typically considered to be safe in pregnancy and that any benefits out weighs the risk. Pregnancy hormones are no joke.
I just wanted to keep myself as “clean” as possible I guess and not take any medications if I can 😞 this is my first pregnancy so I’m nervous about it harming the baby ....we will see...may have to go back on them 😞
@chelswcu12 well if you have any questions feel free to PM. I’m a pharmacist so I’ve got you. Just know that a big part of a healthy baby is a healthy mommy. You have to take care of you too.
exhausted moody full/bloated after a few bites but then lightheaded from not eating
This is my third baby and I cannot believe how different this pregnancy is for me! I’m hoping the second trimester bring some energy back into my life. I have 5 and 3 year old sons who are super high energy. If only I could snag an ounce of that.
I had some trouble with this especially last pregnancy. I was told it was due to inflammation. I did notice when I ate more anti-inflammatory foods it really helped!
I ultimately had carpal tunnel really bad with both of my prior pregnancies. I’m praying it won’t happen with this baby!
Major mood swings and fatigue this past week.. now some new lower back/ SI joint pain too, especially if bending too much, so trying to be careful w that.
@karenmarie9 I am just about as far along as you are...8 weeks 4 days and I feel like you..soooo tired...sooo moody...omg I hope this gets better after the first trimester ...I was so nauseous last week and this week hasn’t been as bad. Does anyone know if it’s normal for nausea to fluctuate from week to week?
@chelswcu12 - yeah my nausea is very mild currently so I’m blessed there. It was a lot worse two weeks ago. But I try to eat something right when I wake up- usually a yogurt and banana and find that makes a big difference.
But last night I started crying over ice cream. So definitely still moody as heck.
Does anyone have bloating from hell? It’s like 24/7....it doesn’t matter if I eat a small meal I still feel like I ate a thanksgiving dinner! My stomach is so bloated and sticking out like 5 times more than normal! 😢 I’m not even eating really bad! also my abdomen hurts ...it feels like I did 509 sit-ups! Anyone else? Is this normal?
Wonder if my work will notice... tonight at work ordered Coldstone for dinner- a shake and a large ice cream

Is anyone else just plain out feeling miserable? I have good days and bad but I just feel like there is constantly something making me feel bad. I think I have had symptoms since the moment of conception. I found out at about 5 weeks pregnant and it explained the reason I had been feeling like gagging all the time and constant indigestion. Now, mornings are the best and after lunch on I'm either feeling like I'm going to gag, nauseous, indigested, bloated, hungry but then I eat and feel bad. I have been taking Vitamin B6 but I'm not sure it's helped at all. Do I just ask my doctor for Diclegis, I don't normally take any medication but I just feel I need some relief. Gum and mints just don't feel like their cutting it anymore! I even feel like I'm starting to have some anxiety over this and I dread going anywhere or riding in the car. Man this is hard! I just keep telling myself that each day is one day closer! 😬
@nik012 I feel your pain!!! I feel like it’s something everyday! I think I’m driving my fiancé crazy 😩 I just want to feel good! We are getting married August 7th and I’m so worried I will feel like poo on our wedding day 😥 I too keep telling myself it’s one day closer each day, but I reallllly hope the second trimester is better! Hang in there ❤️
@nik012 feeling the exact same way. nausea, throwing up, extreme fatigue and overall feeling like crap has been almost constant since 5 weeks. I keep telling myself the same thing - one day closer! I’m 9 weeks tomorrow and really hoping things start to get better soon. So hope it’s not another month of this is. Mints, ginger, ginger ale, b-6, nausea drops/pops - nothing has helped hope we get feeling better soon
@daisymomof3 I had carpal tunnel really bad towards the end of my last pregnancy and about 3 months after delivery. I am concerned about that happening again.. and I learned from my health coach that B6 deficiency is correlated to carpal tunnel. While not it's not known if it's causal.. it's interesting to try a B6 supplement. .. the moment I get symptoms I'm going to ask my OB!
@nik012 you are not alone. I was on Zofran when I was pregnant with my daughter but apparently they no longer recommend that. And it has been so hard. My mental health has taken a huge hit and I’m just so so over it all and waking up and knowing I’m going to just feel exhausted and nauseated all day is just plain hard. I know last time I took my last Zofran at 14 weeks so I’m just counting down to that. And crying a bit because it still feels so far away.
I'm 10w2d today - has anyone else noticed a gradual disappearance of symptoms? I'm still tired all the time (but still struggling with insomnia). The queasiness has pretty much subsided and my appetite is coming back (there are still some things I don't want to eat, but this is a marked improvement).
I'm still craving tangy, vinegar-y things, and I swear I am showing now.
My energy is so much more than it was a few weeks ago. Only 1 more week until I'm officially in the 2nd trimester 🙌
Nausea has mostly disappeared, but appetite is still here and there. There's still a lot of foods that don't sound good at all. But it's slowly getting better.
I'm definitely having round ligament pain, and bloating. Hoping to be able to feel baby girl in a few weeks. Last pregnancy I thought I could feel him at 14/15 weeks and was certain by week 17/18.
@Limes030 That's interesting about Vitamin B6 being related to Carpal Tunnel. I had it very bad the last 3 months of my first pregnancy and it lasted about 3 months after my son was born. I was terrified that I was never going to return to normal because CT does run in my family but it was like it all of the sudden it disappeared. I am currently taking B6 for sickness so we'll see if I get CT this time around.
So I guess I am looking pretty bloated. Bc I was just playing catch with my dog in the alley behind my house when a random man (who I don’t know- not a neighbor) decided to roll down his window and tell me that if I keep playing with my dog it’s a good way to lose weight and maybe I’ll lose some weight, I was in legit shock. Who says that? I just kinda laughed and said “well I’m pregnant so I hope not” and then he awkwardly decided to keep talking and to tell me how cute my dog is. Nah buddy - drive on before I tell her to kill you. (JK- she doesn’t know the kill command yet 🤣) ugh I’m still so angry. What is wrong with people?
This is probably more of a rant than a symptoms thread. But I just needed to vent.

WTF is that guy's problem? What a twatwaffle. I truly don't understand people who comment on other's weight, ask if someone is pregnant, etc. I would NEVER. The audacity...
