March Symptoms

How are you feeling?

mflowers929

My most fun (and most pervasive through every pregnancy) symptom is shortness of breath! It's been consistently my very first symptom after I get a positive.
A weird one I have right now is aching in my entire abdomen. Like from under my ribs to my groin. It's weird and I don't remember if I had this in my previous pregnancies. Maybe my body is just like "heh, I know how to do this. LEEEROY JENKINS"

Hello!! Due Nov 10th (4W3D). I have mildly sore boobs, some nausea here and there throughout the day, and some mild cramping. 

ashnicell

I have nausea, mild bloating, and I'm absolutely exhausted.

ponyoisfun

@mflowers929. I also have some serious shortness of breath!  I am worried it's going to be obvs. to co-workers as even easy tasks are making me breathe heavily.

Today has been easy on the symptom front - just super tired.

The nausea this pregnancy has been off the charts. It took my doctor's and I trials of 3 different medications this past weekend to get it under control. I had significant weight loss because I just couldn't stomach eating anything. I feel better today (thankful for diclegis....well, the generic brand) but still not great. I had to take it all the way through both of my previous pregnancies, so I think I'm in for it this time.

Hi! Got a lot of typical ones: shortness of breath, sore boobs, fatigue like whoa, but the funniest one must be that I’m getting nauseous at night so brushing my teeth is a battle of not throwing up.

PurplePumpernickel

So far occasional nausea (I'm sure that will ramp up; I was so nauseous last time around), occasional dizziness/lightheadedness. I think I'm sometimes more hungry? Sore boobs just started. Mild cramping. And of course fatigue, but I'm already a working parent so like... when are we not tired? 

michellelynn6

I’ve been super tired. Today has been my first day of morning sickness and tbh I didn’t miss it 😂 

my other main symptom has been my hair is SO lank and greasy. I wash it and within a few hours I look like I haven’t showered in DAYS.

I’m super fatigued, I’m lucky to make it to 7:00 each night. My breast are really sore and I’m uncomfortable in all of my clothes from the bloat. No nausea yet 🤞🏼 4W6D. Craving everything salty and my hunger is insatiable so lots of snacking happening.

hre175

Currently 5w3d. I am literally always hungry and always tired. Lightheaded anytime I haven’t chugged water in the last 5min (I’m being dramatic but still sort of accurate). Mild cramping that usually lasts a few minutes every few hours. Boobs starting to get sore. Pants barely fitting from bloating.

But I am honestly appreciative of every symptom because it means this is really happening and helps me feel more confident that this one is gonna stick!

So I feel like I hardly have any symptoms. I’m 5W1D. I get crampy everyday at around 3pm and boobs are a bit sore, but not bad. Minor crampy feelings. That’s really all. No fatigue; I feel wonderful until mid afternoon. Wondering if it gets worse week 6/7? I did have some food aversions before finding out but I’m a super picky eater beforehand too. 

sejica

@michellelynn6 yes on the hair! I normally wash it once a week, but I've felt gross after just two days.

It is the woooorst. I've had to adjust my meetings around my hair schedule 😂

I got pretty bad head acne with my last pregnancy but so far not as bad. Still really oily hair though.

I get nauseous if I don't eat for a while (like in the morning... Hmm... Morning sickness. 🤔) No vomiting though. 

Light - headedness when standing up from a crouched position.

Bloating and more regularity to my stooling patterns. I have IBS with constipation so that is something weird to be happy about. 

Anxiety is kind of my main thing. It has ramped up to the point that I'm anxious about my anxiety 😬. Will be speaking to OB about it at my first appt. 

jasmineleeac

Same with the oily hair! I also feel like the texture of my face is different, like gritty and oilier.

naturelover1019

Nausea mostly all day, I'm lucky if I get an hour here or there without it, gas cramps, fatigued (I want to take a nap right now actually), boobs hurt especially when I walk (and I have small boobs so it's not like there moving much ha!) -- that's the normal I feel like lately. Than randomly some other symptoms get thrown in like a running nose, crave something (mostly pizza right now) -- surprisingly I have not wanted ice cream at all, except 1 random craving the other day where I wanted an ice cream bar.

A weird symptom is how good some food tastes now. Like most people I enjoy popcorn and it's good, but I had some the other day that felt like it was the best popcorn in the world. Yet, the next it was kind of blah, edible.

fantasyflyte

I had a little bit of nausea the last couple day but hoooooooo boy it's hitting hard this morning right ahead of a 5 hour car ride.

Bianca912

I wake up every morning with light nausea. It fades once I eat breakfast and then comes back in waves throughout the day. 

I am SO gassy. It’s ridiculous lol. I am also soooo tired. I feel like I have no energy to do anything ever. 

Also been light-headed and had a few headaches. 

Occasionally I get light cramps in my lower stomach/upper pelvic area. And my boobs hurt off and on. 

And I had my first crying for no reason fit last night. 

So I’m pretty much getting it all lol 🙃

I’m guessing it’s due to being my third pregnancy, but the round ligament pain this time around is rough already 😩 I’m sure scar tissue from 2 c sections are contributing, as well. There’s really no symptoms consistent enough to make me feel like I’m really pregnant. I’ll feel better when we see the bean next month

jayc21

I literally have little to no symptoms. I can feel the tenderness in my boobs, not sore though, and I may feel a little nauseous here and there. Otherwise I feel great and that's scary to me because my other 2 pregnancies were awful with boob pain and nausea. But I've come to realize this is oooonly the beginning. Lol

ponyoisfun

@jayc21 I'm also not feeling a lot of the major symptoms very intensely this week.  I am sort of relieved for now because I know it can change and be super hard to manage. 

mali0902

Anyone else experiencing chills? I'm a ttm and don't remember feeling constantly chilled to the bone with any of my previous pregnancies. Brrr! Currently 6w4d.

ashnicell

@mali0902
I have had chills the last couple of day. Yesterday I was so cold while out to dinner that I couldn't take my jacket off. 

My cramps have also kicked it up a notch the last few days. I was miserable yesterday. I don't remember having cramps like this with my first. The location seems almost like round ligament pain, but then it migrates into my back. 

js1213

@mali0902
Yes. All morning today. Feels like I'm coming down with something but no fever or anything. I've got a hoodie and a blanket on curled up on the couch. 🥶

ladykenmore_

Not many symptoms yet. What I’ve noticed is the mild cramping, bloating (big time bloat) and chills! I’ve been freezing the last few days. Otherwise feeling great! No nausea or food aversions yet. I usually sleep 9 hours per night anyways so haven’t felt too much fatigue.

srabidoux

4W3D - sore boobs that’s it so far

ashnicell

@ladykenmore_
9 hours per night! I'm envious!

OMG me too! I even took a COVID test last week because I was convinced I was sick.

fantasyflyte

I had my dog and two separate blankets piled on me last night, with the heat turned up a few degrees more than normal.

dzapp

Hypoglycemic episodes, lower blood pressure, sore boobs, stomach feeling weird and all my workouts are suddenly just hard.😑 barely 4 weeks, hoping the new hormones are something I adjust to and start feeling a little more (metabolically) myself.

mali0902

There's something so validating hearing that we are freezing in solidarity 💪🏼 Warmer days ahead mamas!

kittkatt__222

No nausea at all which does make me nervous… but the lightheadedness is a little rough. And slightly sore boobs. I do feel tired but I can’t tell if it’s my normal amount or what. Everything feels manageable so far!

snuggsonfleek

I am definitely freezing, more tired than usual, my boobs feel like they have been in ice and will shatter when touched. I also have the whole abdomen uneasiness thing going on... Nauseous here and there, but for the most part I'm fine... But gas... OH LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS EXTREME GASSINESS!!! I feel so terrible for dear hubby and older kids... I'm blasting all over the place lol...

fantasyflyte

Pizza for lunch was a mistake. 🤢

xtinaharrin29

Last week I had crazy sore boobs and cramps, but those have subsided a little. Now I'm starting to get random waves of nausea (fun.) and had my first dizzy spell today. That freaked me out. Glad to hear some of you other ladies have felt that too!

sunshine2417

@fantasyflyte pizza during DDs pregnancy have me SO much heartburn! All dairy and tomatoes were the worst 😭

@snuggsonfleek 🤣🤣🤣 any time they’re making you mad, just crop dust them all! 

emmaliz12

Sore boobs, occasional cramping, and tired. Not too bad! Week 5. When does the nausea start? 😳 

fantasyflyte

Cramps on and off all morning, trying to convince myself that it's just gas, but it's hard.

mo2231

Exhausted and an acne flare up. My cystic acne is in full swing this week. 6W4D

sejica

@fantasyflyte same. I'm blaming the bad abdominal cramps on gas/hormones, but I still freak out a little inside everytime.
