So tell us -

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. *

8w5d Baby # 1 Same ol' same ol'. The diarrhea thing is annoying though. Also, sometimes I feel like my heart beats in my throat. Checked my blood pressure a few times. Its low like always. Anyone ever have this?

I haven't had that feeling but my blood pressure is naturally on the low side.

Baby #1

I have been nauseous for 6 days straight with no relief and I've tried everything. I have lost a couple of pounds because i can no longer eat full meals.

I still have not told my family and I'm having a Labor Day party at my house on Saturday. I don't know how I'm going to be able to smell all that food without throwing up. Hopefully it won't look obvious that I'm not eating.

morg1442 · August 2013

Kbuckleyharp: I've had that feeling all week. It scared me the first time it happened.

Hopefully you'll get a break this weekend and feel good while your family is around. I have lost 4lbs in about a week....I miss food.

Happy Friday!

My feeling of gloom has thankfully gone away. Thanks for the support! I am generally queasy all the time especially when on the hungry side, which seems to be all the time. My nausea has dissipated and I anticipate it will come back in the weeks to come. (Is it normal for it to come and go?) I take a train to work so I've been positioning myself near a bathroom just in case. Other than that my main struggle has been keeping up exercise despite fatigue. I am dropping out of the half marathon I was going to do in October because I just don't think I have the energy to properly train and I don't want to take the risks. Trying to do something every day though... We'll see!

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Nausea has really kicked up this week. Yesterday I cryed because I was so tired. Lol. Boobs are getting even more sore. But I am happy about it all! Lol

Slight cramping feeling still... Gas still

Ugh..so, so tired. I was feeling moody and down yesterday to begin with, then a coworker lashed out at me for something that was not at all my fault. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I had trouble falling asleep and then woke up at 4am. At least it's Friday. I'm super bummed though, because this coworker was going to be the first person I would tell at work about the pregnancy since she is close enough to watch my class if I have to step out to be sick and now I really don't want to tell her. I wasn't going to until I had to anyways, so maybe things will get better. She's really stubborn though, and I can't imagine she will apologize or admit she was unreasonable.

Okay...venting felt good. Otherwise breasts are still sore-ish and I feel sort of yucky, but I think that's mostly because I'm so tired.

The cramping has tapered off. I feel like my symptoms are gone at times and I don't feel pg anymore. I know this is normal. I didn't have many symptoms with DS either. I am also TERRIFIED of going for my u/s next thursday and there being no heartbeat. I have no reason to be afraid. I think I have just seen it on here so much I am convinced it will happen to me and with the lack of symptoms doesn't help either.

alessandraandevan · August 2013

I spoke too soon. Here comes the nausea. Any tips for secretly puking at work?

Baby#1

I switched back to the pre natals I was taking originally and my nausea has gone down. (But maybe I'm just imagining that?)

Question: Is phlem and stuffy nose a pregnancy symptom or am I getting a cold? (If I'm getting a cold, who gets a cold when it's 100 outside?)

Leticiasmugala · August 2013

Baby #1

Nauseaus all the time but no puking. Although it seems to be lightening up in the mornings and getting worse in the evenings. Sore boobs. Lots of pee and crying. I'm not a crier so that's fun... A little spotting yesterday which had me freaking out. But everything looks good today!

thomas930 · August 2013

@alessandraandevan Yeah symptoms will come an go this whole time....not much to worry about, enjoy the nice days

@Emily041285 allergies maybe?

Emily041285 · August 2013

Maybe...it's gross how much mucous I seem to have today.

Baby #1

I feel awful! Nausea kicked in this week and I've already vomited once. I'm eating constantly to avoid an empty stomach but I just feel terrible. It does seem to let up in the afternoon, thankfully. I have medicine but I'm trying not to take it if I can avoid it.

Also, beyond bloated -- it feels like none of my clothes fit anymore. Got on the scale this morning and I'm up 1 1/2 pounds already (doesn't sound like a lot but I have a tiny frame and it feels like a lot more than that. My previously flat stomach already has a little bulge.

Plus I'm exhausted by 9pm, I cry at the drop of a hat, I pee about 20 times a day, and my skin is breaking out. Cannot WAIT for the first trimester to be over.

Maybe say food poisoning? Or something you ate? Or flush while you puke? Lol. Good luck!:)

Baby#1

No real symptoms... a little heart burn, sore boobs, and cramps... makes me a little nervous. Is it normal for some people to not get naucious?

Also is anyone else burping alot from their prenatal pills?

sdion27 · August 2013

@angie&junichi

I feel the exact same way! Baby #2, 6w4d and so nervous this time for no reason besides symptoms coming and going. One day I'm nauseous, exhausted, sore boobs, gassy, etc and the next (aka today!) I'm completely fine.

I'm always bloated (or showing early) so that sort of helps! Ugh. I just don't "feel" pregnant most of the time. Maybe bc I'm chasing around a 15mo old?!? And when I do have symptoms I convince myself it's only in my head or question them! Argh!

Rant over. 2 more weeks til 1st appt!

deidremaria · August 2013

8wks not sure how many days. Excuse my french... I'm fucking exhausted! I don't know what to eat but I'm always hungry! It's hot. I just want to leave work and go to sleep! My boyfriend thinks I'm a hypochondriac he just won't say it. All I want to do is sleep!!!! I wish he was the one carrying this fucking baby so he knew I wasn't "milking this pregnancy" UGH!!!! I've never had children before and this baby WILL be an only child on my side!

deidremaria · August 2013

Oh yea... I'm nauseous at the most random times and I officially can't button my jeans!

Definitely a symptom- its called pregnancy rhinitis! I suffered last time and am this time too. Try using two pillows to prop up your head at night, it helps me a lot!

Good to know as I am suffering too.

Baby #: 2

Symptoms/rants: nauseous at night .. Mainly when trying to sleep. Peeing much more and emotional.

Anxious and excited about u/s next week.

nikki912 · August 2013

i think this sums it up for us all..

sadurnba18 · August 2013

6weeks today (dates changed at my appointment yesterday...a little bummed that I'm not as far along as I thought)

Baby #1

For the first time felt a little queasy this morning...fingers still crossed that I won't have ms

woke up this morning 30 minutes before my alarm went off and had to pee terribly but was too stubborn to get out of bed...so instead I just laid there for 30 minutes having to pee. Real smart. Tired, but otherwise ok.
Got to see the heartbeat flickering on the u/s yesterday which was magical

BuggasMom · August 2013

Exhausted! I wish I was sleeping right now ! Wahhhhhh

BiggerinRealLife · August 2013

Baby #1

All my symptoms disappeared! Totally! Im hungry again, ravenous actually, and all my aches and soreness is gone. Just tiredness left, but I also just finished my first week back at school (teacher) so that is contributing, I'm sure.

Is this normal? Because it's really starting to freak me out! Besides I've been reading about all the empty embryo sacs on here...doubly freaked out! And US isn't for two weeks!

thomas930 · August 2013

@biggerinreallife I'm sure everything is ok. After 2 weeks of feeling like total crap, yesterday and today I've felt worlds better, with that said, I had great u/s today and I bet you will as well. I hope these 2 weeks fly by for you.

Symptoms come and go, try to enjoy the good days.

BiggerinRealLife · August 2013

@thomas930 Thanks for the kind words.

Jenmarie0915 · August 2013

6w 1d and baby #1 (although 3rd pregnancy)

Feeling so sick this week. Nauseous all day. Food is good one day and then makes me wanna puke just thinking of it the next. Even broke down and called the doctor today about the nausea. Boobs are sore. Can't even get emotional about anything bc I feel so crappy. So tough hiding these symptoms at work. Don't get me wrong, all good signs! If only I could lay on the couch all day...

Soon2bStaff · August 2013

Week/Days: 6w/6d

Baby #: 1

Symptoms/rants: I've lost 6 pounds since BFP on August 12th. When I do actually throw up its mostly because I drank too much and its all liquids (TMI sorry) so I feel like I'm eating enough.. Well maybe not enough but definitely not totally under! I have a little weight to lose so I don't think I'm harming anything but its still hard to stomach (lol) all the weight I'm losing!

thomas930 · August 2013

@soon2bstaff I've lost about 5 lbs since my BFP too, my midwife wasn't worried and said its normal to lose a little weight in the 1st tri.

TallaB · August 2013

7w1d

#1

I had some spotting this morning and totally freaked out. It's stopped, and I never had any cramping, so I'm hoping everythings ok. Otherwise, I just feel horrible .I'm exhausted, i'm nauseous 24/7 and I don't have the energy to get anything accomplished. Also, i'm afraid i'll throw up in the middle of whereever I am if i do leave the house. It'll be worth it though! Just praying everything is ok!
