Symptoms

Heather0710

Hi Ladies!!  I will technically be 4 weeks tomorrow, but I had a positive pregnancy test on Thanksgiving morning!!  This is my first and I'm excited/slightly freaked out.  haha  I've had a few symptoms, implantation bleeding last week, breasts have been a bit more tender and they are definitely already larger, peeing more frequently (and I already went a lot), mild headaches off and on for the last week or so, some cramping, bloating, although until yesterday I was hungry all the time!  The hunger finally seems to be fading a little bit, which I'm happy about.  Hoping to be able to schedule my first appointment with my OB tomorrow.  Overall, feeling really well and hoping it continues that way.  Glad to 'meet' everyone!

Funny I thought the chapped lips were abnormal... I've never had extremely chapped, almost blistering lips and cracks in the corners..it was so bad but I've been using breastfeeding cream yes, I said nipple cream ..its working out just fine.. I'm 4 weeks now and they're almost back to normal thank God!  Other than the chapped lips, I feel nothing.  I guess I hope it'll stay this way because I'm a student and I can't afford to have morning sickness, etc.

"I can't believe it's real still. My heart knows, but my head isn't as certain."

That is exactly how I feel!  I am trying not to get too excited because I feel like it's still so early.

I am bloated, very tired, sore breasts, mild cramping.

I'm 4 weeks and 6 days, so excited but still very early!

I've been having the cramping a lot, cravings, and I'm so exhausted!

I've been starving!! for the last week or so.  I'll eat a normal meal and then about an hour later I'll feel like I haven't eaten at all.  Other than that, just the cramping which is starting to feel bothersome and uncomfortable.  Seems like its very consisitant but not major. I have felt surprisingly energetic.  I dont know if I'm kind of still excited from finding out and I dont realize it, but I'm enjoying it now because I know its all about to change. 

I like mine with lettuce and tomato

I too have been extremely hungry but can't eat much.  A little crampy and can't get enough water!

I am having no symtopms, other than not being able to sleep at night. I thought that was suppose to come later in the pregancy ???? I fall asleep early around 10pm 1130pm at the latest. And then up at 315am. Nothing I do seems to work I toss and turn, and just give up....

Not much here, tender breasts, cramping, and occasional wave of nausea. I seem to get full quick when I eat. Not sleeping great, but I think that's because I can't shut my brain off at night. Very excited and a little nervous!

Hi Ladies and Congrats to you all! We just found out we're expecting on Christmas Day couldn't ask for a better present and I'm 4 weeks and 4 days today. Symptoms have all been manageable but at times annoying. I've had sore nips, extreme thirst, bloating beyond belief, increased urination, and increased hunger. I've never been a regular eater but I definitely notice that I get lightheaded if I go too long without eating. I've also had some mild cramping but no spotting.

Reading everyone's post definitely helped me feel better about things I noticed about my body. I hope this helps someone else. Congrats again to everyone!

Hello, hello! I'm finally breaking down and joining a message board because I'm going to go crazy just Googling into the ether... We got a positive more than a week before my expected period. I just wasn't feeling like myself. I'm still not even to the day of my expected period (sometime in the next three days), which means my mind is going a million miles an hour. I've taken about 15 tests. 

Just saying it outloud makes me feel like a crazy person.

Definitely have "symptoms" of something, but not the super traditional ones. I've had a lot of trouble sleeping, feeling bloated (which never happened to me before), no nausea, not much breast tenderness, but lots of "action" in my lady parts. No real cramping, but definitely pulling and moving around. For some reason I felt compelled to go to the store and buy a bunch of juice.

Going to make the doctors appointment today. Maybe that will make me feel more sane.
