How are you feeling this week?

Yesterday my nausea was almost gone, this morning I started my workday by puking in the bushes outside the office because I forgot to eat breakfast. Thankfully no one saw me!

My nausea has been pretty steady. If I don't eat every 1-2 hours, I feel like s*it. Bread is the only thing that's remotely appealing.

5 weeks 4 days and so far just bloating… anyone else? When did you all start feeling sick?

trubaby411

@kjib I started to feel some waves of nausea around 6w. Weeks 7 &8 have been worse.

Week 7 and if I can keep more than 1 meal a day in my body I feel like a champion. All I can eat is bread and potatoes and ‘plain’ foods. Today I did this super fun thing at work where I had diarrhea and then had to hurry up and finish because I immediately turned around and puked. Luckily I work in a machine shop so there are no women here and the men are too scared to admit they notice anything…. I thought I’d left the puke and rally lifestyle in college but, alas, here I am.

Ugh. I’ve been nauseous since the beginning of week 5 but this week I started vomiting (3-4 times per day). Luckily, I’ve switched up my medications and eating schedule and I’m feeling a lot better!

ugh, the nausea is real. I’m at the beginning of week 7 with my first vomit session tonight - immediately felt better but then a half hour later I’m feeling queasy again.

thankfully, the nausea was minimal this last Saturday - as it was my wedding day! But we leave for our honeymoon in a few days and I’m worried that all I’ll be doing is sleeping and puking. I don’t really care - but I just feel bad for my new hubby! I want to enjoy our honeymoon together! Any travel tips from anyone? I’m planning on packing snacks like crackers, ramen and of course alllll the ginger lozenges, B6 and unisom!

During my pregnancy I noticed that staying healthy with exercise and eating well helped a lot with my nausea. Just in case you want some tips, here’s an ebook that I found that helped me a lot!

@cara206 congratulations on your wedding! I'm glad that you didn't have much nausea that day. Hopefully you're not too sick on your honeymoon!

@cara206 congrats! Tea helps too- ginger & peppermint both work well. Sipping on something hot has helped my nausea a lot! Have an amazing honeymoon!

I’ve been feeling good that the symptoms have been minimal but over the last week they have hit me like a truck. Lots of nausea (haven’t  puked yet but feeling like I will) sore boobs, super bloated). Staying with family this week for a visit and hoping the nausea is under control since I’m not ready to tell them. 🙈

New one just started: stinky farts. I'm not a fan.

Threw up (first time this pregnancy!) brushing my teeth today. Then felt like I needed to brush my teeth bc I just puked...but obviously that wasn't going to happen

trubaby411

@nsk489 I totally understand this. I dry heave every time I brush my teeth lately. I have a feeling something coming back up isn't far in my future.

For the first time today, I'm not feeling nauseas by 4pm / wanting to climb into bet by 7:30. I don't know whether to rejoice or to panic. 

kjib

I am 6 weeks and don’t feel nauseas yet. Should I be concerned? 

iiirene

@knib I hardly had any nausea when I was pregnant with my son. I don’t thing you need to be concerned. 

As for me, I’m playing a game of morning sickness or stomach bug. I hadn’t yet thrown up until last night. Just had dry heaves. Last night I was awake around 2, got suddenly nauseous and vomited. Similar situation this morning. Woke up with my kid, drank a bit of coffee, suddenly had the urge to barf. Feeling a bit better still a tad nauseous.

@kjib didn’t start until late week 6 for me and I vomited on first day of Week 7, then proceeded to have “it’s morning in Europe” variety of nausea right through. Yesterday, 9w6d, was the first day I felt OK. Not sure if I’ve turned the corner or if it was just my body giving me a break for the long weekend.

kjib

Feel better!!!

Here’s a new one: mouth sores!! I didn’t even know it was a pregnancy symptom, but I’ve been struggling with them for about two weeks (currently have three) so I looked it up. I’ve never even heard of it being a pregnancy symptom, but apparently it is.

Yep I had two at weeks 5/6! Also, non-stop congestion. Nausea on and off. Exhausted.

Hmmm...well as of today at 7w3d, I am now experiencing vivid dreams, extreme fatigue, gassy, bloat, morning sickness, hunger for sweets, thirsty ALL the time and my sense of smell should be considered a super power it's so strong! 😀 I honestly barely had any symptoms except nausea during my first two and since I'm 44 this time around, I'm looking at it all as good signs that this baby is growing and needs to make me feel this way, LOL.

acleverusername

@kayeann77 girl, right there with you with vivid/weird dreams that sometimes border nightmares. I'm basically using it as a way to gauge whether or not I'm still pregnant. Last night was something else. It was so vivid, I was able to retell the whole thing to my husband. 

(*TW Loss* last time, my crazy dreams went away and a few days later, we learned of our MMC (*end TW*)

kayeann77

I'm doing the same thing @acleverusername . As long as I'm feeling all these things it gives me hope that all is going well. Sorry to hear about your MMC. I had a similar experience a year ago which resulted in a loss as well. Really hoping this time is different. Good luck to you as well!

I have acne for the first time since I was a teenager! My forehead and chin are covered with tiny little bumps, luckily still the same tone as my skin, but I feel like a gross pizza ball. I did not experience this with either previous pregnancy, so #3 is continuing their own path. 

etnyah

@nonlinear_function ugh same with the acne. I’ve struggled with it since I was a teenager (hooray for combination skin and hormonal bc) but it’s definitely worse in first tri for me, happened last time too. Hoping it’ll go away soon!

nsk489

@nonlinear_function @etnyah add me to the acne crew. I definitely had some breakouts last pregnancy but much worse this time around. I had pretty good skin as a teen so this is hard for me to deal with! 

iiirene

My pimples have been on my neck and shoulders…I’ve always had good skin. This is probably the most I’ve ever broken out.
