Under 5 weeks - what are your symptoms?...

TeamHayes · August 2011

Calling all Mommas 5 weeks or under! I don't have any real symptoms and add that to an uneasy ultrasound i am paranoid. What are you feeling? I am only bloated at night but that could be because i am trying to eat every 2 hours or so. Those who had an us, when did you see the sac? I went at 4w1d and nothing. Next appointment isn't until sept 6.

I had so many symptoms and they have been so severe that I actually knew I was pregnant 6DPO (though I waited the 2 weeks to take the test which almost drove me nuts). I'm 5 weeks and 2 days right now and I've had restlessness, fatigue, cramping, headaches, acne, itchy belly, gas, loss of appetite and acid reflux. I'm starting to feel the slightest twinge of morning sickness. That will be the hardest one to deal with.

Just as a tip for anyone who may not know, there are these things called Preggie Pops that you can buy to help ease the morning sickness (they're literally lollipops). The same company also makes Preggie Pop Drops (which is what I bought because I like those flavors better). The other thing that will help is mint candy (mind has a proven calming effect on the stomach). The Preggie Pops & Drops are sold at Babies R Us. So far that's the only place I've found them in person, but you could probably order them online too!

Ahhhhhh I just want to know everything is progressing as it should be. I am cursing that dang ultrasound for making me more paranoid! I am still peeing on sticks a week after my bfp and they are still dark so I hope that is a good sign, only 1 left though

If it helps, most docs don't do an ultrasound until 7-9 weeks because before then it can be very difficult (if not downright impossible) to see anything yet.

ohjaime · August 2011

Correct if I'm wrong (which I'm sure someone will) but I'm surprised that you had an ultrasound that early. I wouldn't think they could see anything that early so I'm surprised they tried and added that stress for you. September is right around the corner. By then you should be able to see something- possibly even a heart beating.

TeamHayes · August 2011

I agree that I think it was and is too early to see anything but she did it anyway to my surprise now it is stuck in my head. Add in the lack of symptoms and I am just a mess. The waiting game sucks. I thought my two week wait was over.

Kaiene · August 2011

My only real clue was that my boobs hurt a lot. Now, I am feeling bloated, hungry all the time and I have gas.

chasbride07 · August 2011

Heartburn, sore full boobs, fatigue, occasional nausea and as of yesterday food aversions. They all come and go though, except for the fatigue, I'm always tired but I've been tired for roughly 3 1/2 years at this point due to those little monkeys in my sig.

My first appointment is also 9/6 and we'll have an u/s. I can't wait!

wewillservehim · August 2011

Exhausted, like those days when you get up at 4am to catch a flight. That's about it. Last time I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and they could see the sac.

This time I am living on the opposite side of the country and don't have my first appointment until Sept 14.

ckk8584 · August 2011

I wouldn't be too concerned- I didn't think doctors did ultrasounds that early because its nearly impossible to visualize anything at that point. At my first appointment on Weds, Aug 31, I will be 6 weeks and I'm not sure I'll even get an ultrasound then. Hang in there, try not to stress & focus on taking care of your health.

llizzyb · August 2011

I had symptoms at 4.5 weeks...nausea, heat intolerance, fatigue.

dam0ne4 · August 2011

My only symptoms so far are fatigue and slightly sore boobs.

starshollow · August 2011

No symptoms really. Just a little mild cramping and feeling like I am PMSing. My only really symptom has been the BFP.

beccalyn17 · August 2011

I'm feeling exhausted, but luckily I have the opportunity to nap with DS. Other than that, I bought my first case of ginger ale yesterday because I've been getting a little nausea at night.

Eating every 1 or 2 hrs is a good idea! It was the only way that I could make it through the day when I was pregnant with DS.

kemangel24 · August 2011

Mild cramping, occasionally bloated, a bit gassy, hungry, and tired everyday around 3pm!

Oh and really heavy, huge and sore boobs!

My husband thinks I am a bit moody as well...

wils0482 · August 2011

I've only had a few symptoms so far: some fatigue, shortness of breath (I remember having this from last pregnancy as well), and I am more 'emotional' and tend to cry easily.

CrawltheWarriorKing · August 2011

Only symptoms I have is the bloating (I look 5mths pregnant), and I pee about once every hour. Other than that, nothing. My boobs aren't even sore!

I ran out of tests so I had to stop taking them and I officially stopped temping yesterday so now it's just waiting for either symptoms or my appt next Thursday.

Don't stress too much

TeamHayes · August 2011

Ok I am feeling better - many of you don't seem to be too many symptoms either,

Thank you all tenfold for walking me off another ledge. You all are invaluable!

ADub09 · August 2011

bloating mostly at night, bigger and sore boobs, occasional nausea, and oh so very tired!!

klbeamer22 · August 2011

Well I was getting worried too becuase every morning I'm as high as a kite, but by the afternoon and into the night until bedtime i'm as good as useless.

My boobs are the biggest thing I've noticed, bloating at night also, heartburn, and that's about it. I thought I should have morning sickness, but nothing yet, so maybe it will stay that way? This is my first also, so I have no idea what's really going on.

My first appointment is scheduled for Sept. 9th, so hopefully there will really be a baby in there to confirm this craziness.

Good luck!

Bayberry12 · August 2011

No real symptoms yet, although I have been feeling pretty exhausted by the end of the day.

adamstodrake · August 2011

Keep in mind that everyone is different. With DS, my most noticable symptoms did not show up until between 6 and 8 weeks. This time around the bloat, bouts of nausea, and fatigue have kicked in really early. I wonder if it is just because this is baby #2 for me.

bio-oesch · August 2011

Last pregnancy they did an u/s at 6wks and only saw the sac, so I had to check my betas and they were rising, then 2wks later there was definetly a bambino growing. I know it's hard but try not to stress

katcarls · August 2011

I barely had any symptoms with my first pregnancy, just some mild nausea in the afternoon that didn't start until 8-9 weeks. So far I haven't had any symptoms with this pregnancy. I wouldn't worry about it, you just went for an u/s too early.

AshleyC0117 · August 2011

No real symptoms yet for me... although, like you, I wish I would have some because I'm so worried about this pregnancy.

So far I've been really exhausted, sore nipples, hungry more often and insane acne.

I wouldn't worry about your u/s... that sounds like it was really early for one!

dani1124 · August 2011

My only symptoms were cramps, headaches and bloating at 4 weeks. My boobs didn't start hurting till a couple of days ago. I feel tired, but not that tired yet. I am wondering if i should be having more symptoms by now. I have my first Dr. Apt September 9th at 7 weeks!! Hope you have better luck at your next apt!!
