This is my first pregnancy, and was a little surprised at how noticeable the changes have been so early in the process. I've had some nausea (though mild so far) and headaches. My breasts are swollen and feel like they're on fire. I'm a relatively high energy gal, so the urge to put my head down on my desk and nap is quite strange. I'm quite amazed at the amount of havoc a little "apple seed" can wreck on ones system. Though frankly, after trying to conceive for so long, I welcome the changes and discomfort. Bring it on baby!
This is my second pregnancy. It is so different from the first one. So far these are my symptoms: urinating very often, sore breast, my nausea started this morning during pilates class (I've been taking pilates for a long-long time and a trainer myself), cravings kicked in, but luckily I want only healthy foods - veggies and herbs and don't want to eat any sugary foods.
With my first pregnancy I had no cravings, was exercising till I reached 32nd week (after I switched to walking), had nausea the whole 2nd trimester.
Surprisingly Im doing ok compared to what others are going through. Just frequently urinating mild nausea no soreness so it makes me wonder am I still pregnant lol. This is my 2nd pregnancy in 10 years I felt all the symptoms when I was about 7-8 weeks. So maybe I'll feel more symptoms later as the weeks go on.
This is my first pregnancy...I'm 5 weeks and 4 days and am feeling pretty good...I could sleep allll day though! I am feeling a little crampy today and have a little pinkish staining when I go to the bathroom...I'm trying not to worry about it! Does anyone else's boobs itch!? Not only are mine sore but they are so itchy! A few mom friends of mine said it's because the skin is stretching and I should use cocoa butter. This is all just amazing to me!
This is my first pregnancy. 5 weeks and 5 days! Having the soreness of the breasts, alot of fatigue and nausea (but no vomitting as of yet. Thank Goodness!) and also cramping. Also been experiencing lower back pain. Anyone else having back pain as well or is that too early.

This is my first pregnancy and I just hit 5 weeks today. I had a few symptoms last week, but they have been pretty neutral the last couple of days. I feel slight breast soreness and my legs are really sore. I didnt work out last week, so I'm not quite sure if that was from spin class and working out the week before.
I am no where near as thirsty or as tired as I was last week and my cramps have disappeared for the most part. I'm hoping Week 6 doesnt make up for Week 5's mildness!!
This is my first pregnancy, just found out yesterday. I just thought my period was really late because I have had some mild mood swings and have broken out on my face Today though I am EXHAUSTED! I feel like I could sleep all day and night and still be tired. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a blood test just to confirm
Married My Best Friend 5/21/2010 Madison Paige arrived 1/8/2013
I keep wishing for more symptoms (have lost two early on) but I really have quite a few: I'm exhausted, cramping, faint, some headaches, very sore breasts and the first signs of nausea. Oh, and I'm hungry a LOT, and when it hits I need food NOW! Also bloated and needing the Bella Band like a PP.

Hi Ladies!!! 5 weeks tomorrow... No major symptoms... just SUPER thirsty the cotton mouth has been ridiculous...I have had horrible gas (sorry TMI)... and I am extra sleepy. I really could nap all day. My boobs look super full (not complaining ) but no pain...no morning sickness. Sooo excited I hope it stays this way...
I'm 5 weeks today! Had my first appt. last Wednesday (high risk) and will be seen again in a week and a half!
We are so excited- told everyone last night. We are very close to our families and I wish I could've kept it a secret for awhile, but everyone was expecting me to have foot surgery next week, so we couldn't really explain the situation! Ha!
My boobs are sore (especially sore nipples) and I am very tired with an almost constant light headache.
I keep reading on here that everyone is so hungry, but i'm the opposite! I don't necessarily feel sick, but I'm just not very hungry and no types of food sound very good to me. When I do feel the need to eat, though, I am suddenly starving and then I feel super sick after eating.
I'm not sure if the cramping I'm feeling is normal or not, but it's mostly at night and I have woken up everyday around 4AM-5AM or so and can't really go back to sleep for hours.
After telling everyone I am now nervous that it's not going to work out. I feel the "need to deliver" (in more ways than one!) this baby we've talked about! I hope everything works out. It's so nice to be able to come on here and see that other women are nervous and going through the same thing at almost the same time!
I've been having such crazy dreams too! My breasts are incredibly sore (doesn't help that I have G cups, it feels like someone has been punching them al day) The itching just started today, it's driving me crazy! I thought I had hives! I've been nauseous so i've been really cautious of what I eat! The WORST part right now is that I am so tired, that I stay in bed all day. I was also in the hospital last week and have been back 3 times for blood work because my HCG levels were low and I had some severe bleeding, but they couldn't see anything on the utrasound yet so I am probably just right around 5 weeks. (: Not to mention all of the stress with my room mates trying to say I was stealing from them and they have kicked me out of MY house that is in MY name, but it's all good, because my fiance' and I are just staying at my mom and step dads. They will get what's coming to them. Ok, enough about that! Good luck moms!
The beginning of this week I was feeling some slight cramping, bloating, gas, frequent urination, REALLY sore breasts that have gotten bigger already, some emotional roller-coaster rides, and a lot of trouble sleeping through the night. I keep waking up having to pee and not being able to get comfortable enough to fall back asleep. My husband is going nuts because he doesn't understand why I keep spending large portions of the night on the couch. We invested in a Temper-Pedic mattress a few months ago and I loved it... until all of my bloat sinks down into it too, putting pressure on EVERYTHING! If it's like that already, it's going to be a VERY long, but rewarding road ahead!
hello all! i just found out that i am going to have my first baby and am sooooo excited!! i am feeling very exhausted and my boobs are really sore and i am having a hard time even wearing a bra throughout the day. no morning sickness yet (knock on wood) but my mom said when she was pregnant with me she didnt have one day of morning sickness so fingers crossed. im just about 6 weeks and dont know how soon other women had experienced morning sickness so just wondering for some input on if i should be feeling it already..thanks!!
I must say that I can't complain at this point. This is my first pregnancy so I'm anxious and afraid but taking it a day at a time. I've sore breasts, frequent urination (although I've uped my water intake for baby too) and i've been very tired. Here recently i've started experiencing upset stomach though. I'm hoping that this isn't the beginnings of morning sickness, but i'm packing my Tums and crackers just in case. At this point I'm so happy and blessed to be pregnant that I'll take whatever comes my way.

~You're both always in my heart.
I had to buy a belly band too. I did not think I would need one until closer to 12 weeks but I'm so bloated I cant button any of my paints. I got mine at Target for $16. If anyone was wondering where to get one.
I am thinking that constipation is adding to this bloated belly of mine.
We are five weeks and I am experiencing a little lower back pain too. Sore breasts and mild cramping as well. This morning I experienced a little morning sickness--- bring on the ginger snaps and saltines Thought I was the only one with the lower back pain. Glad to know I am not the only one.
anyone experiencing mood swings this early??? last night i was reading something really funny, i was laughing uncontrollably, so much so that i had tears in my eyes... then, i just started bawling! i couldn't stop, it just felt right to cry and i wasn't sad about anything... i usually get pretty moody during PMS but i don't think i have ever cried for no reason, so weird... i guess it is better than morning sickness!
My first pregnancy! I have had no back pain, but have had headaches, nausea, urge to urinate, and moodiness (my poor hubby). Also, some anxiety about how all of this is going to play out. It's quite frustrating knowing your pregnant, and trying to keep it a secret (we told family only, but are hesitant to spread the news until after the first US). I am also very tired. feel like I could sleep all day.
This is my 3rd pregnancy. 8 years later and i'm doing it all again! My boobs hurt, peeing 24/7 and moody. I'm nauseous on and off I can have a really good day or a bad day. It kinda freaks me out - I m/c a few years ago and never knew. I am so worried to miscarry again. Can't wait for my doc. appt. in a few weeks
This is my first pregnancy! We found out last Wednesday
Symptoms so far include growing breasts (seriously they grow in hours it's ridiculous) and a little bit of nausea in the mornings along with waking up feeling like I could eat anything. Today though at 5 weeks 1 day, my hips started getting really sore. Mainly on the left side.
I am at 5 weeks, and I feel like I still don't believe my HPTs. I know that they are super accurate, but I feel pretty normal so far.
I feel like my symptoms are very comparable to PMS symptoms though, so that is what makes it hard to believe.
So far, I've had small cramps, that super hungry feeling right before your period where you can eat anything (except I've felt like this for about 1.5 weeks now), one day of nausea but not bad, very sore breasts. I haven't noticed peeing more than normal. I am making myself drink more, which makes me visit the bathroom more . I guess I am just trying to explain all of my symptoms, and I just need to stop being skeptical!!
Slight nausea, definitely exhausted! Even my students noticed how tired I am lately. I had weird cravings for about a week before I got my BFP which is why I tested in the first place^^
Sore boobs for sure, and already they have gotten a bit bigger as I am filling out my bra and a bit more. Slight cramping scared me at first but now it just reminds me that little Ziggie is growing in there^^
I need a NAP all the time and food has become a turn off I really dont want to eat anything, Hubby makes sure I've eaten even when i'd rather just nap..
My back has been cramping, feel bloated constatntly, tired, headaches, had some different cravings, and PREGNANCY BRAIN, my co-workers think I had a brain transplant, luckily it gives us all something to laugh about!
This week, I've traded in my fatigue for nausea. I'm actually suprisingly awake but I've been vomiting in the mornings and then feel sick all day. But I still think it's better than the fatigue because at least I can function. I'm not peeing quite as much but because of my upset stomach I don't think I'm drinking as much, either. I get some moderate cramping which I despise because though I know it's normal it still freaks me out. My breasts are tender but even that I think has subsided a little. I'm bloated and have gone up about a pound. I had really high HCG levels when I had them tested at the doctor's office so we find out on 5.14 (I'll be 7 weeks then) if I have one or two in there - I can hardly wait!
Weird I don't really have any symptoms. Except I feel like I'm a lot more hungry more often than usual. A little tired at night but not during the day....wondering if I really am Prego.
I am 5 weeks today...and have sore boobs, bloating, discomfort sleeping, and I'm tired all the time! I had to get a belly band so that my jeans could stay unbuttoned!

OMG I could have typed those words myself. Same exact symptoms and I too have a temper-pedic and I found myself on the couch some nights due to geting up to pee and not being able to get comfortable again. It is nice to read that I am normal and so many of you ladies are feeling the same as me.
Wow. Our symptoms are identical. Except last week i was having some brownish discharge but found out that's normal due to the implantation of the embryo in the uterus. Other than that I'm fine as well and I hope it stays that way. #PrayingForAGirl
Hello to all the new and old mommies out there, i am actually an old mommy but back in april we miscarried and we are pregnant again, this will be baby #3 and one miscarriage. My fiance and I just found out friday with a home test and it was postive after not having my monthly period since may 8. So i went to doc for blood work to confirm it since i miscarried back in april. So we are excited but not really feeling any symptoms other than peeing all the time, cramping some, my boobs hurt and feel like balloons, and very tired all the time. Other than that nothing new. will keep you all up to date, and GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE MOMMIES!!!
i have had the headaches too, and even some spots of blurry vision at times, that bothers me at times. Oh and what made me know i was pregnant again was these darn leg cramps, and swollen hands and feet.
i have a couple suggestions if you are throwing up and cant keep anything down, this is my 3rd pregnancy and we had 1 miscarriage, but if your vomiting or really nausea try crackers non salted, plain ones. maybe a lil sprite or 7up, wont hurt but does help at 1st trimester, also heard lemon juice helps too but never tried it. But definitely get ur rest, cause these next several months you will need that rest. i am here if you need any more help.

Hi! This is my first pregnancy. Only symptoms I have are breast soreness, light cramping that comes and goes and is tolerable, urination at night.
Kinda dreading week 6 which is when I hear morning sickness starts.
This is my first pregnancy. 5 weeks and 5 days! Having the soreness of the breasts, alot of fatigue and nausea (but no vomitting as of yet. Thank Goodness!) and also cramping. Also been experiencing lower back pain. Anyone else having back pain as well or is that too early.

Good luck to all those out there!
