Good Morning April Momma's! This is a check-in to SHARE,VENT AND ask QUESTIONS about whatever symptoms you may be experiencing today.

So tell us -

Week/Days:

Baby #:

Symptoms/rants:

Questions:

Since this is a common questions I'm going to address it here. If your symptoms are fading please know that this is normal, they will come and go all through out your pregnancy, it does not mean that you will definitely miscarry. Symptoms are not a good way to gauge if your pregnancy is viable or not. The only person that can tell you that is your doctor or midwife.

People, feel free to offer some advice!

*Keep in mind that we are not doctors and are basing our answers off personal experience. *

Nausea kicked in yesterday. Thankfully, it isn't horrible but definitely uncomfortable. The fatigue is also kicking my butt. Other than that, just the typical boob soreness, acne, bloat, etc. It's hard to find something to eat that's not blah, but that's to be expected, I guess. I'm really loving chocolate milk right now, though.

Symptoms/rants: sooo tired i thought the fatigue was letting up but i've been dragging again the last two days/nights. the nausea seems to be letting up a bit which is nice since it started for me around week 3! however, my stomach is still iffy here and there which on top of the tiredness and sore boobs makes me just want to be home in bed or watching daytime tv!

I swear, my urine smells like....batteries? Metal? Idk but I remember this from the first time and thinking it was weird. Anyone else ever expirence this?

Baby # 1

Symptoms: The nausea has really kicked up the last 2 days. I honestly just feel pretty miserable and have zero motivation. I wish I could just stay in bed all day. I still have sore boobs and my face hasn't broken out so badly since I was a teenager! Oh well, it will all be worth it!

macof3 · August 2013

I am so tired by early evening that i fall asleep on the couch. Then I wake up at around1 am and cant fall back asleep.

I've also noticed that only when lying down (not standing or sitting) and I press on my abdomen, i get a sharp pain on my right side. It this something I should be concerned about? I dont have any spotting or any cramping throughout the day, only when i push on the area. Is this gas?

Thoughts??

bsinno · August 2013

@AbbeyMac , my unofficial guess would be gas. The legit cramps are gone for the most part, but I still have painful gas pains that will randomly freak me out...until I look down and realize how ridiculously bloated i am!

I feel like dry heaving. Kind of reminds me of college.

macof3 · August 2013

@bsinno , Thanks I needed some reassurance. I kinda figure if the pain gets worse that I can call my dr but otherwise prob "normal". Of course the first thing I do is google Ectopic symptoms, which I have none of except for the sharp pain. Then again, its only painful b/c i am lying on back pushing on spots.

Kcitee90 · August 2013

Cannot shake this nausea. I have to be up for work at 4am everyday and it's becoming miserable. The only thing that seems to make me feel better is sleeping. I am bloated my boobs are sore here and there but biggest complaint is morning sickness!!!!

Serenla · August 2013

Week/Days: 3w2d

Baby #:3

Symptoms/rants: I woke up to slight nausea this morning which turned into dry heaving when I tried to drag the trash to the curb. The one that I am ranting about was last night, every time I laid down I felt like I had to pee. So I would get up and try but nothing would happen. I did this about 5 times before finally giving up and staying in bed.

I get a sharp pain in my right side as well, usually after moving quickly.

Baby #: 2

Symptoms/rants: Just sore boobs the past couple days. Other than that I don't feel pregnant and I was telling my DH last night it was kind of weirding me out. I know I should just consider myself lucky.

bingbongsmama · August 2013

Mostly nausea and very sensitive sense of smell which leads to nausea. Also been very emotional, some back pain and tender breasts. Ocasional uterine cramping

Feel like I've been wearing a bra too-tight. Turned off a bit by foods, but nothing that makes me too sick. Woke up this morning in TEARS because I was having a dream that someone stole my makeup bag. Apparently I really, really love my makeup. Geesh.

Me too!!! I started really wanting it before I even got my BFP and thought that was weird because I've never craved chocolate milk like that before!

Week/Days: 5/4
Baby #:1
Symptoms/rants: Breaking out but it's easy to just say it's because I'm coaching again and getting all sweaty.. Nausea came around yesterday but I was able to ease it up by eating crackers.. Bloating but I've just been wearing dresses to work.
Questions: how is everyone handling stress in their daily life? I'm feeling so stressed at work then I try and step back and remind myself that's not healthy for me or baby... I work in a school though so fall semester is about to start and I coach a fall sport. TIA

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Edit: added lines since on ipad and it doesn't just make lines when I hit enter... L-)

sandylou · August 2013

To those having bad cramps...I had them really bad with my second. It was so scary. Hang in there!

I puked so violently yesterday that I pulled a muscle in my back so I'm dealing with that. Also I get this weird back pain that I assumed was baby sitting on a nerve but considering it started before my bfp this time I guess it is just one of those crazy things.
Also my super smell is on high alert. Went to a concert last night and I could smell someone's old ketchup the whole time. It was sick ::shudders::

Fell better y'all! I'm calling for zofran today to avoid the all day nausea I've been having! Can't wait to pop some pills! Ha ha

Nausea is pretty bad, but comes and goes.... With my last pregnancy I had hyperemisis and was throwing up nonstop, so this one feels really weird.

CalinAZ · August 2013

Week/Days: 4/4

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: A touch of insomnia. I've had a super sucky time falling asleep the last few nights, coupled with early wake ups. Woke up at 4 to go to the bathroom (with is unfortunately not unusual for me), and couldn't not fall asleep until 5, where I sleep for maybe 5 minutes and had a nightmare that I was sleeping and could hear a wild pig outside our bedroom door and was freaking out and trying to wake DH. So, yeah, I think I'm up for good. Still bloated and crampy and I swear my left breast looks a little bigger

Questions: Got my first OB appointment scheduled (yay!) but found out DH can't attend (boo ). For non-first time moms, or ladies further along than me, what usually happens at this appointment?

Week/Days: 5 weeks

Baby #:6

Symptoms/rants: Really dry eyes. I read it's common, but it's so uncomfortable. I think I'm going to see an eye doctor anyhow.

Questions:

macof3 · August 2013

@CalinAZ , my symptoms sound identical to your and Im just at 5 weeks. I was exhausted last night till i woke up @1am and couldnt fall back to sleep. I also love waking up at 6 am on the weekends...

I would also like to add that I hav e super sense of smell. In fact, I am sitting at my desk and all i can smell is my shirt. This top was just dry cleaned and its all I can smell.

First Dr appt: I just had mine yesterday and my DH didnt come either. Although, this appointment was just to confirm the pregnancy. I had the usual blood pressure, urine test, blood test and then met with the doc to go over any questions. Then i scheduled another appt in 2.5 for the first ultrasound.

Hope this helps!

katieharpiceland · August 2013

7w/2d Baby #1 Not so bad today. Minimal nausea, really tired, still sore boobs, and massively hungry! And the weather is nice out!

nic84 · August 2013

Hi everyone!

I'm about 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant.

Baby #2

I'm having a lot of nausea and extreme fatigue. I'm also dealing with extreme moodiness,I want to snap at everyone and also really sensitive (crying over everything). I have a little bit of cramping,but that seems to be subsiding some.

nutmeg2425 · August 2013

Where do I begin? Constipation, bloating, sore boobs, gas, and cramping are the main ones. I was a little nauseous last week, but that seems to have subsided (freaking me out that I do not feel worse). Gest Sono tomorrow - fingers crossed!

First baby
My vacation starts tomorrow and I think I'm getting a cold. I normally take a ton of stuff to nip it in the butt but can't do that. Lots of fruit and water it is!
Not having many symptoms here so that's nice. Have had troubles falling asleep and staying asleep like @CalinAZ

Hope everyone has a great day!

CalinAZ · August 2013

@Abbeymac That does help - thanks! Also nice to know I have a symptom twin

steph1977 · August 2013

Baby #2
5 wks/4 days

Sore boobs, fatigue, off and on headache and nausea. Emotionally, I seem to do great early in the day, then turn into a total witch around 4:00. I snap at my DD and DH, cry and accomplish very little. It takes all my energy just to cook dinner!

Can anyone else relate?

Angie&Junichi · August 2013

Still don't feel too many symptoms. Dr. confirmed my betas are doubling as they should so I will just wait. I just tell my self "today, I am pregnant and I love my baby". I am trying not to worry unless I have something to worry about.

@CalinAZ I cannot speak for all practices but it really is just a general checkup. They went over medical history, eating habits, any testing that I would like to do, and any questions that I had. They also did an exam, it was nothing spectacular really. I know some places also will bust out the Doppler, but they might not depending on the practice.

C2B2 · August 2013

Minimal breast soreness (although they are swollen), bloating, and absolutely zero appetite accompanied by nausea, and nearly unquenchable thirst
I'm sure it could be worse

tinamorgan · August 2013

Week: 6w 1d
Baby: #1
Symptoms/rants: I had a new symptom last night.... heartburn, it was terrible. I think I finally beat the constipation, thank goodness! Started to feel some good queasiness, but nothing to write home about. My boobs still feel like they will fall off my body at any given time, and poor dh, all he wants to do is touch them. Super excited to hear the heart beat on Friday!
Questions: Nothing here! Enjoy your day ladies!

Arsco181 · August 2013

#2

fatigue, nausea, sore nipples, gas, lower back pain, pregnancy brain,

thomas930 · August 2013

@CalinAZ with my first appointments is was usually just history, palpated my uterus, and a pap if I needed one. You can always call and see what the plan is.

@Angie&Junichi I'm just into my 7th week and the puking and horrible nausea just really hit me, my symptoms have been really mild until today. You're still pretty early so I wouldn't worry.

melzh · August 2013

"Somewhere between week 4-6" to quote ny doctor lol

Baby #2

I want to do nothing but sit by the toilet cuz I'm sure ill puke yet I don't. Tired, mood swings, low tollerence for a full bladder- it takes the same amount of time to have to pee but now once i do it has to be NOW... all of which are bad since I work in a call center and cannot run to pee very often.

Kelseyl34 · August 2013

Week/Days: 6 weeks 5 days

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: extreme morning sickness

Questions: Is it normal for my stomach to be nauseous 24/7, throw up twice a day, and barely be able to get out of bed? I am having real trouble doing anything other than lying down. Could this be extreme morning sickness (like Kate Middleton had) where I need to talk to my doc, or is this normal and hopefully very temporary?

pineconey · August 2013

7 weeks today
Just woke up- still super nauseated (same as yesterday) and all food sucks
I don't want to do todayyyyy

Normal depends on each person. With DD mine was not like that. My best friend had something where she was sick all the time... it is absolutely something I would call your doctor for. They can give you something to try to help at least

I think you are talking about hyperemesis gravidarum, for a diagnosis of this you usually have to have extreme vomiting and to the point where you cant hold food or liquids. It is very common to feel nauseous all day...even though it call "morning sickness" it can last all day or even just come in the evenings. You can always ask you doctor for something to help ease the sick feeling.
