I'm in my 6th wk and while I feel bloated, gassy and have heartburn I am not experiencing much else in the way of M/S or sore BB's.
I'm bracing myself each Monday for the onslaught--and yet...
So when did your pregnancy symptoms give you a swift punch in the sore BB's?
Re: Poll: When did you symptoms really kick in?
The MS was really bad from weeks 8 thru about 14. Craved frozen lemonade and all kinds of food. I never vommited, but I was nauseous all the time. Boobs were sore from day 1 and until now are a pain in my a**.
Never had any round ligament pain. But these days my pains are the BH contractions and my upper back (prob from the boobs)
I wasn't too bad throughout the pregnancy. MS hit between weeks 10 and 11. I only threw up once but I would feel a little nauseated every day driving home from work. I found these ginger candies at TJ's that helped with that.
I had some calf cramps and RLP at night occassionally, but that was mainly in the second trimester.
Otherwise I started getting swollen feet around week 32 that progressed into horrible shrek feet by the time I delivered. Took about 2 weeks PP for them to get back to normal.
Good insight ladies, and beautiful babies!!!!
So I shouldn't be concerned about the lack of symptoms. I just get concerned when my appetite hasn't increased, I'm not exhausted, no m/s and only slightly sore BB's, mostly firstthing in morning.
How concerned should i be about how much I eat? I haven't increased calories b/c the book says not necessary till 2-3 trimesters. But sometimes i get so busy at work that I skip a snack and delay my next meal...is that bad during first trimester, as in detrimental? Suppose I'll ask the Doc next week.
My first appt is next week should I ask the Doc anything in particular or is the first visit so comprehensive that I'll be inundated with info?
I'm at 20 weeks and just started to have one of the typical 'symptoms' (heartburn...bleh!!) I kept looking for they onslaught as well but they never came lol. My doc said if I didn't have the symptoms I shouldn't go looking for them but it was hard because I didn't 'feel' pregnant until I felt my little guy start to move at 18 weeks.
