@magnolia209 I feel like fatigue and cramping are the only symptoms I have. My boobs basically stayed the same my whole first pregnancy. I never had to go up a bra size. I hope you were able to pick up your son!

@elle-0409 I feel slight nausea (I'm a baby about it, though), a bit of fatigue, and that's about it. Well, and constant hunger. Though my child kicked me in the boob after bath tonight and that hurt like 🤬. I don't think it's related to pregnancy, though. 😄
I didn't really have boob problems the first time around, I don't think. I kept waiting for it, but it never happened for me either. While nursing I noticed a shift, but duh. I keep seeing people talk about that and it always gets me in my head about why I don't. 🤷♀️
Okay! At 5w1d (late last night) I had a bad bought of nausea. Incase this helps anyone, my nausea is not really nausea but more a feeling like I have to poop but not having to that morphs into feeling like I’m going to puke. Last time, my PCP told me that any stomach troubles in early pregnancy are considered morning sickness. I didn’t believe her and waited until it got really bad with actual puking to start treating it. This time I was ready and when I felt that sensation, I took a preggie pop drop and it helped so much! Once it totally passed, I ate some bread and felt much better. I know it will get worse, but I’m excited to try to manage it without diclegis this time.
@magnolia209 So glad the preggie pops helped. I'm gonna have to try those if I get morning sickness this time. Because I'm with you...I could almost handle the nausea better than the sleepiness from diclegis!
so, I had some cramping today but it feels the same as it did a couple weeks ago when I tested positive. It doesn’t hurt, it just literally feels like my uterus is stretching, if that makes any sense?! FTM here, not sure if that’s anything I should be concerned about?
@mk2022x I think mild cramping is fairly normal. I had a good amount of cramping in my first pregnancy. Now it feels more like stretching sensations. I think one way or another our uterus (i?) are stretching out! But, one of the great things about pregnancy is that you never have to feel bad asking your doctor anything. So, if it is very painful or you are concerned, definitely give them a call!
Also, in TMI land, I have had hemorrhoids for years. But with the pregnancy-induced extra blood volume....yeah...many murder scenes in the bathroom the last week or so. Bah.

Hey All! Anyone else’s boobs just blow up?? I’m usually an A cup and by 5 weeks I was a D cup!! Not accustomed to the weight. I thought maybe it was just a quick start thing and it would stop but they just keep going… 6w2d now.
@jamiebean3 not that much but I'm definitely up a cup size!

I’ve been so so tired, a few weird dreams but after I woke up I hardly remembered them, abs I’ve been getting hangry more easily now so I’m sure to keep more healthy snacks around. My boobs have been so sore too...maybe TMI but I feel like this is a safe place, has anyone else’s nipples just been hard 24/7 too or is it just me?? They haven’t changed colors which I think is interesting, they’re just perky little ladies all the time now.

It's not just you - mainly because they're super-sensitive right now, my nipples are always hard or semi-hard. Particularly if it gets even the slightest bit cold.

@kboydbowman my profile says LucyG00cy (has since I set up my profile) and I’ve emailed the community help forum- I don’t see any other way to change it, the only place that knottie name shows up is in these threads. Any suggestions?

Have you tried logging in and out a few times? It can be glitchy like that.

5w6d here with my 4th. Insomnia like crazy, breast are more sore every day, bad headaches, body aches (sore legs & arms), & diarrhea. Nausea hasn’t played a huge role yet.
I swear to God I was up every hour on the hour last night to pee.

Yesterday, while laying in bed, my 2 year old came over and made a sniffing noise next to Daddy's side (he wasn't in bed) and then where I was. We asked what she was doing.
"Smelling!" "Do I stink?" "Yeah!"
🙄
All day today I kept smelling barbecue sauce, but we haven't even had barbecue sauce in our house in months.
It's me, guys. I smell like barbecue sauce. Even my husband - who has an awful sniffer - smells it.
Now I'm wondering if the dress I wore to my nephew's wedding during my last pregnancy (that smelled horribly like barbecue sauce) was actually me... 🤔
Still waiting for morning sickness to actually hit but I SWEAR that the only time I feel semi-queasy is after I drink water? Does anyone else share that feeling or just me?
We ordered brunch to-go this morning and mine came with a side of veggies (broccoli, squash and cauliflower) which I had a very strong aversion to… couldn’t even look at it.
@trapperkeeper87 sorry for laughing but your post made my day!😂 BBQ sauce of all things! I've been noticing that I smell too but just smelly, nothing specific. Just that all my clothes smell after I wear them =more laundry🥴
@mk2022x the only times I've ever puked while pregnant with my first was drinking water. I get the water thing. I made sure never to drink water on an empty stomach or I'd puke.
@trapperkeeper87 well, your post made me crave bbq sauce 🤣 had to run to the store and get one of those premade southwest chicken salads and then added crispy chicken strips and bbq sauce. Thank you for that hahaha
So... I called my doctor's office today and they said that I might have a bacterial infection that is causing the smell. They told me to watch the discharge and if it gets worse (it's barely noticeable right now), let them know so they can get me an antibiotic. Otherwise they'll wait until my appointment next week to do a swab.
Thank God I'm a SAHM or else people would be trying to figure out where the barbecue is all the time. 🧐🤔🙈
I feel so not pregnant today! But then I get these random pains in my pelvis/uterus/belly. Nothing concerning just reminders. I definitely feel pregnant, but I guess I just don’t remember much about this time before morning sickness and before getting a bump! My boobs are still sore. I’m solo with my 3 year old today and it’s raining, so I guess I’m just busy, but I seriously keep forgetting! And that feels so strange. I can’t wait to see that there is really a baby in there!
@magnolia209 I know what you mean by the weird little pain/twinges. They're not cramps, just weird little random pains. Most of mine feel like they're behind my belly button.

@kboydbowman Yeah - exactly - not cramps, not sharp, but just sudden pains. It feels more familiar than concerning, you know? Like my body is remembering.
@magnolia209 familiar, but everything to me is concerning until a) I see a heartbeat, and b) my damned cerclage is in place

@magnolia209 I have been having those pains too! It kind of feels like trapped gas but it’s hard to say. I’ve had gas pains that felt like this prior to being pregnant so I’m guessing that’s what it is. I’ve read prenatal vitamins can increase those type of symptoms as well as all the hormones. But yeah it’s hard not to be anxious about them especially the quick sharp pains!

@laj0217 I have a 3 year old who is not sleeping well (and basically hasn’t for 3 years) so I’m lucky when I get 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep. Last night I slept 7 hours and only got woken up once so that felt like a win! I’m F-Ing exhausted. But I also think my body has gotten used to sleep deprivation over the past 3 years. 😭 Basically, I’m used to being exhausted so now that I’m extra exhausted and can have less coffee…fun fun.
