How are you feeling?

kristine618 · January 2014

Other than a lot hungrier than usual, I am not having any of the symptoms I had with my first pregnancy. I'm only in week 7, but I'm surprised that I'm not having any nausea at all! I know by this time in my last pregnancy things smelled off and I could not stomach certain things (like coffee). I'm having no trouble at all this time. Do some people not experience nausea? Could this mean I'm having a boy instead of a girl, since it's so different?

Curious what other STM's are experiencing, compared to the first time around. Counting down the days until we can hear the heartbeat!

I'm almost 7wk, and I'm pretty sure last time by this point I was dead tired all the time, and had some m/s. This time the tiredness isn't as bad, and even so, I'm not sure it's from being pg, or DS waking at night lately.

Haven't had m/s so far, but some food aversions are starting again. And I have at times felt a bit off I guess, but not nauseous. Most kinds of meat just seem gross right now....

7wks tomorrow and already over it, ha! I have baaaad morning sickness and it's miserable. This is pregnancy #3 with awful MS at the exact same time (starts at 5w5d). Either I have another girl on board or I'm just unlucky with MS.

P.s. I shouldn't say over it, of course I am thrilled that my pregnancy is healthy and (hopefully) viable. I just meant I'm over the MS and I probably have another 3- 4 weeks of this

Morning sickness, or more like all day sickness, has started right at the 6 week mark like it did with DS. So that is not fun! Im also really tired, but Im not sure if that is pregnancy related or its just because DS has been sleeping horribly lately which means I also sleep horribly.

I had maybe one or two days with mild nausea the first time around, and it looks like I'm getting lucky again this time. I've had it more often, but it's extremely mild. I definitely feel more tired, but that might be due to having a toddler that won't freaking sleep.

I'm kind of worried about how things will be later in the pregnancy. I gained about 40 pounds (ouch) after having my DD, and I'm worried about varicose veins, swollen ankles, etc. being worse this time around because of that.

Horrid all day sickness that just hangs over me. Exhaustion kicked in 3 days ago. Now I have a headache too. I don't remember any of this the last time. Boobs have been sore since before Christmas. I am 6weeks 4days.

My boobs are sore...and today started itching?!? had no idea that would be an aspect...difficult to itch when you're surrounded by 3rd graders all day! I *think* I've been having mood swings but that could just be due to the effect the full moon has on my students. I'm only 4 weeks 6 days so I'm sure I'll start feeling more symptoms soon.

My chest and legs itched so bad throughout my last pregnancy…my skin just got so dry. I went through a lot of lotion.

I'm around 6 weeks right now. So far though I've been nauseous for about a week, seems to be a bit better today. I hope that's the last of it because feeling nauseous is the worst thing ever in my opinion, and I didn't experience any nausea my last pregnancy. Also, I'll occasionally get a tingly feeling in my boobs…kind of like the let-down feeling I would get when breastfeeding. And of course I'm extra tired, though my DD has been sick and not been sleeping well too.

Morning sickness showed up right at 6 weeks... tired, nausea off and on and headaches all day. I usually feel this way until 18-19 weeks. BLECH!!

I will say, I definitely carried my girls differently than my boys. My guess is that this is a boy because while their morning sickness was annoying, my girls were BRUTAL. This baby is just annoying.

Like someone said, as thankful as I am for this pregnancy and as much as I treasure this peanut already... I would be lying if I didn't wish for these weeks to FLY so I can feel better.

Morning sickness has taken over. I fall asleep most nights around 7:30ish, DD is still up right now and I am trying to stay up with her and my SO. My sense of smell is off the charts, tatas are sooo sore. Zofran is my new bff but it is only lasting 2 - 3 hours for me and it is right back to feeling like poo.

RobynD99 · January 2014

Haven't had any morning sickness or nausea yet but bananas have been making me gag. I occasionally get breast cysts around when I'm about to get my period and this week I got one and it's a lot larger and super tender. Guess Monday I'll get it checked out and maybe drained. I think it's "normal" during pregnancy if you have them but it's definitely the most annoying thing so far!
Oh and now I'm getting sick from allergies too. Chest congestion and sore throat :-(

Jessibarrie · January 2014

I'm only 5 weeks today and feel super crappy already. Completely exhausted, super weepy, lots of bathroom issues, and boob pain! I don't remember anything but sore boobs with my first. Nurse told me not to worry, every pregnancy is different!

Groxb · January 2014

MS like whoa. Not vomiting thankfully, I just feel like I need to pretty much at all hours. Ick.
SUPER bloated. Gas and burping like a drunk dude at a football game.
Sore breasts. Sleeping in a sports bra every night.
Moody. I was super irritable today.
Superwoman smell. I can smell my trash can from like 100 ft away.
Food aversion. Don't even talk about avocados around me.
