I'm 5 week pregnant today. Ever since before I found out, about a week or so ago, I've been craving fruit. Anyone else finding they can't get enough of something in these early days?

stashattack

Not yet! And with my first pregnancy I didn't get cravings until the second trimester!

4 wks tomorrow, and omg, the thirst is killing me! I can't stop drinking water

@knottie59147f4a8721fc89!! If you want you can check out the "does your username start with Knotttie..." discussion on ways to change it. It helps as it makes it easier to get to know you when you have a personalized username and easier to tag you

The thirst is real! I told my husband I may be growing a fish 🤣 I did not experience that with my first.

5 weeks and my tests are getting darker and stronger every day. I have yet to have much symptoms at all and that is making me nervous. Anyone else eager to feel morning sickness?

stashattack

@knottie0356f2d674c2b899 I've had a couple of waves of nausea but I definitely wouldn't mind the constant nausea I had with my first. So I definitely get it. From what I remember, 6w is when my nausea really popped off with my first. So give it some time. It's hard not to worry. I get it.

Also check out the "does your name start with Knottie" thread to see how you can personalized your username to make it easier for us to get to you know/tag you

I changed it, but I am having that 24 hour delay I think. You will see me as vikingtheemma soon

5w6d today. First baby and pregnancy. I feel like in the mornings I feel pretty good, with limited symptoms but by the middle of the day/early afternoon I’m totally fatigued and feeling super burpy and nauseous. Anybody else experiencing this? I always expected it to be worse in the mornings! 

stashattack

Nope. Totally normal to feel worse in the afternoon. Morning sickness is so badly named. Lol. It's really anytime sickness.

I’ve also been craving fruit! Specifically oranges. I’ve had light nausea so far (4 weeks 6 days), but it has been primarily in the evening. My husband is from India so I joke that the baby has morning sickness but on India time 😆

Also the thirst is no joke! Then pair it with peeing all the time!

Girl- I’m 5 weeks on Sunday- I have been craving fruit, specifically berries for me. I’ve been nauseous to the point of carrying around a wastebasket, haha- luckily I have yet to need it.

shanny-93

6 weeks 5 days today with first baby. Gas is emmence lol gas cramps suck! Peeing like clockwork in the middle of the night all this past week and light nausea on and off for the past few days. Everyone is telling me I'm lucky I haven't had morning sickness yet. I'm hopefull I may be one of the lucky ones who doesn't, but that could change lol. Fatigue set in hard this week! Passed out in the gazebo after a very satisfying burger for lunch today 😋 

mamabear0325

Anyone around 6 weeks and still hardly any symptoms? With my first I had nausea but no nausea yet:)

katiegeminimoon

I’m only 4w4d with no real symptoms, but my entire last pregnancy I had almost no symptoms! 

stashattack

@mamabear0325 nausea didn't hit me with my first until 6 or 7w. But no nausea is also not a bad thing either. I'd lend you mine if I could though. It just hit me this weekend in waves.

sunny1289

I just hit 7 weeks yesterday and the nausea followed!

chelleylin

I think the nausea is worse on an empty stomach. If I eat fast enough in the morning, I'll be ok, but if I don't continue to eat tiny snacks, the nausea will pop up again.

sunshine134

Is there a way to sticky this thread or something so I can get to it quickly when I enter the bump? 

katiegeminimoon

@sunshine134 you can favorite a board within the community and it should show up at the top of the community lists. 

stashattack

@sunshine134 this thread is stickied. It'll be in the top portion of the board at all times so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of the weekly posts. It's order just might differ depending what stick post was last commented on. But It'll always be in the top 5-7 posts. I think as we move along we should only have a few more stickied posts but we aren't ready for those yet.

sunshine134

Thanks @stashattack, What i meant was the December 2023 board. How to I make a shortcut or something to it? I can't seem to figure out how to do that. 

sunshine134

@ktcakes87, that's what I meant. Thank you!!!

stashattack

@sunshine134 oopse sorry!! If you also add your due date to your profile it should pin the December board to the front page of the community section of the app/website!

sunshine134

@stashattack no apologies needed! That's what I ended up doing and it worked. Thank you!!

5w3d here and still not much besides some fatigue. It’s my first pregnancy so I’m Kinda hoping for something to reassure me

stashattack

@haleyastra I'm 5w5ds the closer I get to 6w the worst my symptoms get. My first I didn't feel nausea until 6w. The bad symptoms can come on fast.

knottie1764218c3e1c7a0b

Hello! Im looking for advice or someone else that has been in my position before. Today i am 7w2d and right at 5 weeks started pretty bad nausea, almost having to lay down all day. Suddenly today it is no where near as bad as it has been the past couple weeks. I am actually able to get up and function normally. I am not sure if this is something i should be concerned about or not. Anyone else experience this?

parthi_baby

@haleyastra. I’m kinda the same! I’m 5w3d. I’ve had some symptoms for the last couple weeks or so. Some days I will have few or no symptoms and it makes me worry a little. The symptoms give me reassurance that something is still happening in there! 

stashattack

Knottie176, symptoms can come and go. It's not a good indication that anything's wrong. 💜

chelleylin

Same. 7w 1d today. Been so sick for a week and today, no nausea! No exhaustion! I just saw a perfect heartbeat yesterday so I'm letting myself enjoy the day off and I'm sure the symptoms will come back...

madimom95

I’m 6w6dYs and I’m so nauseous. No actual sickness but it is kicking my butt 😅 

lemonbump23

What is everybody doing for the nausea? It's coming in waves and becoming more and more constant and my appetite is suffering the cost. Also, I'm someone that hates puking so I tend to fight it. Is it better to just give in and hug the toilet? This is my first pregnancy and it's starting to kick my booty. 

dogmom512

most days I wish i would actually throw up bc maybe the nausea would go away!

parthi_baby

I ordered Preggie Pops from Amazon and they work for me in just a few minutes. I save them for when it’s really bad so I’m not popping the sugar all day.

Hi,

I’m around 5 wks 2/3 days in an unexpected (but very wanted!) pregnancy.

I have three children aged 16, 14 and 9. When I was pregnant with them one of my first early symptoms was an abundance of creamy CM…. And that continued throughout. This time, I have had some light brown/pink discharge (barely enough to fill an pantyliner) and yesterday and today I have had no discharge at all. I still have all my pregnancy symptoms and my tests are blazing positives and CB digital says 3+

I just feel strange about it because with my other pregnancies the CM was just so obvious! This kind of discharge feels like when your period is on its way and you pretty much dry up. Anyone else with little to no discharge?

Thanks 😊

Hello! 5w+1 today and wanting to get a workout routine going when I get back from a trip this week. What’s everyone doing for workouts? Most of my previous workouts were done lying in my back, so now I’m not sure what to do.

stashattack

@lexieb98 most everything you did pre pregnancy is safe post pregnancy. Lying on your back isn't a concern until later on in the pregnancy and is fine for short periods of time

I am 4 weeks today and feel so sick. I am pretty nauseas like 24/7 right now. I know my pelvic floor is still weak from having my son 17 months ago, and I’ve been working to strengthen it but this lower back ache sucks. I found out right before 4 weeks with my son but my symptoms were not this heavy until closer to 6 weeks
