How much is too much? Vomiting 6+ times a day, and feel sick the rest of the day. I haven't held any food or drink down for 4 solid days. Trying to push through it, but I'm exhausted and so frustrated that I just cry. Seriously thinking I've over romanticized this baby thing a bit...

See if your doctor can call you in a prescription. That sounds like a lot to me! Try to stay hydrated, Gatorade or Powerade.

I'm having cravings already! I've had at least 3 meltdowns because I feel like I'm eating way too much way too often of all the bad things but the worst part of it is that when DH tells the cashier "cravings already and she's only 1st trimester" they make sure to point out that cravings are highly abnormal in the 1st trimester as if I'm just looking for an excuse to be a fatass.

Pressure under my rib cage. I have only felt this when I was 20+ weeks along and the baby was growing. What can this be at nearly 9 weeks?

agm04 · July 2014

I felt so sick on Saturday night. I knew it was because I was hungry but all food sounded just terrible. DH was going to pick up dinner for himself, so I asked him to get me a salad with ranch bc I thought I could handle that. He came back with a salad with light italian (was the restaurant's fault, not his). I cried. Hahaha.

So so hungry all the time! Even when I'm physically full, my brain is telling me to eat. I haven't been incredibly nauseous either so I'm hoping not to blow up too quickly! Last pregnancy I gained 55lbs, I'm aiming for more like 30 this time. We'll see [-O<

I'm with you. Prior to DS my heaviest weight was 130 on a fat day but I was 182 at birth. I gained 62 lbs in about 6 months. I've already cried several times because my body wants salty starches and fatty meats which is what happened last time and I don't want to feel fat again. Weight gain is going to be my biggest struggle this pregnancy outside of the contestant MC fear that lurks in the back of my mind.

jennjilljo · July 2014

@babybou3‌ I've been having the same pressure in the exact spot that DS used to play soccer with my ribs. Maybe our bodies just remember like a phantom itch or a phantom pain.

I'm having cervical pain, almost like a stabbing feeling. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it normal? I have an appointment on Thursday but seems kinda far away.

tkr618 · July 2014

Okay. Seriously. How in the hell am I supposed to work in an office setting if I throw up ALL THE TIME? And when that stops for a while, my body likes to fill the time by switching between nausea, dizziness and super fatigue...

I either feel like I need a long nap or a really good cry

This happened to me earlier in the pregnancy but I have no idea what it was! I was really freaking out though but then it went away. Let me know what your doc says.

NQueen11 · July 2014

My stomach is "beating". What the heck is this? When I am laying down if I watch my stomach it looks like it has a heartbeat. Gross.

This just started for me today! I want to graze on EVERYTHING! I feel like my tummy is a bottomless pit that can never be satisfied.

jadempyre1 · July 2014

I had a great day Saturday where I almost felt normal, then ms came back twice as bad! The last two days have been miserable! I can't function when I feel like crap. Def ready for 1st trimester to be over and I'm only 8 4/7. Ugh!!

christenld · July 2014

Today was the first day in about a week or so that I got by without drinking soda to make the MS go away. My job doesn't really allow for me to just get up and head for the toilet when I feel it, so I'm very glad and hope this isn't a one-off day. That said, I'm lucky I only started having it in the past week!

One strange thing is that I am an extremely hot-natured person and I have been freezing lately! I'm wearing hoodies everywhere in the summer! This is the girl who goes out in the ten degree weather with four inches of snow in a short-sleeved shirt and feels comfortable!

Still having lots of cramps too...daily. They're like menstrual cramps. Sometimes I'm walking and they hit and I just have to bend over and put my hands on my knees to ease it.

Thankful for no intense symptoms!

jennjilljo · July 2014

Between headaches and dizzy spells I feel confused all the time. I can't concentrate long enough to decide what to eat sometimes.

momofcpah · July 2014

Acid reflux- never have I ever had it and the last 2 days it has rocked my world! Help!!!!!! My throat is burning!!!!!!

Same here! On Saturday, I thought that it might really be fading... then EVERY night since then, I've been hurled over the toilet. I am hoping this isn't a new ritual.

Anyone else just throwing up at night?

Anybody else have blue veins all the way from the pubic area to your ribs on each side of your stomach? Just appeared yesterday (9 weeks). Definitely not stretch marks or vercose (sp) veins...I am all too familiar with both.

Are you very fair skinned? I ask because I am and my veins get much more pronounced almost before I can even get a positive pregnancy test. I notice especially the ones you're referring to and also the ones on my boobs and upper thighs. I think it's due to increased blood volume.

I will dry heave all day but I mainly am throwing up at night. It seems that I have averaged once a day since like 7w. It sucks, I tried zofran and it made it worse, now trying something new, today was the 1st day, and threw up my dinner. So no luck yet!

lauren889 · July 2014

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it till it stops. I have had extreme nausea since 4 weeks and I am almost 10 weeks. I feel like X crap it's horrible

I have zofran but I feel bad taking it more than once or twice a day. I also developed a raging headache today...

Is 1st tri over yet??? Will this all be gone after 1st tri... I hope I'm not counting down for nothing!!

clws10 · July 2014

This is a bit TMI but has anyone else had like an oily substance in their pee?

I have noticed this on and off over last few weeks. I'm 11w now. Had terrible MS since 5w and think this maybe linked to my oily pee, as yesterday was first good day in about a month and noticed my pee was normal (not oily).

When I searched this online (bad idea I know) I found it could be linked to vitamins or proteins but just wondered if anyone else has had this before/is having this at all? I have my first hospital appt. on Monday with scan etc but again just wondered if anyone else experiencing the same?

psychobutthead · July 2014

Mrsgclark81 · July 2014

I finally got some real symptoms, just when I thought I was in the clear.

Yesterday evening I ate some chicken and later on that night got extremely nauseous and upchucked.

Over the weekend I also had chicken and got sick. Lesson learned : this baby does not like chicken (just like his/her father). So I guess I won't be eating it for the rest of my pregnancy !

actres · July 2014

My hips are already hurting along with the most painful boobs ever! My OB said they are prepping early this time because they have done it before. She said to watch out for early lactation! I guess I better find my breast pads! Eek!

JsRib · July 2014

Anyone not having any symptoms? Had them from week 5-8 but now at 9 weeks I don't really feel anything...seems like EVERYONE on here has them but me!

Mommy2CB · July 2014

I've been feeling a little better here and there (9 wks tomorrow) but definitely still have rough days. Nausea and dizziness is the worst.. And of course still no energy though I do have some from time to time. The hunger is really gettig annoying. My stomach growls constantly and I am just not a big eater to begin with! Can't wait for 2nd tri!

HerHighness · July 2014

Anyone else still cramping? I have nights where i feel like my period is about to start. Even my knees feel all numb and crampy.

Its weird you said about the knees... cause that was ALWAYS one of my pms symptoms.. odd knee pain. Always in my right knee. I wss diagnosed when I was 7 with juvenile arthritis in my knees but as an adult the only time I have pain is when im cramping with my period. Ive gotten it like twice since my bfp... once being like 2 days ago.

Amaryllismagic · July 2014

I just want to poop more than a rabbit turd at a time...sigh...

jamefame · July 2014

I call this "vagina lightening." My bestie warned me about this & she was right, it sucks.

Amandabw82 · July 2014

I am super dizzy and my heart skips beats when I lay on my left side. This didn't happen with my other two kids so it freaks me out. I constantly feel like I'm about to pass out. Oh and nauseated 24/7 and forever exhausted. Can't wait to feel better!

I really don't know about this? I have heard people talking about this but still don't know what it is

sunshine525 · July 2014

@Paleomama‌ it feels like some one is stabbing you in the vag. It does away as quickly as it comes on! It's not fun!

Just had sex for the first time in a cou

AshleyKars · July 2014

Ple weeks, and had some brown spotting...is this normal? Had my first exam yesterday so thinking it may just be residual. Sorry for tmi!

Muse1182 · July 2014

Has anyone else had nausea not hit until week 11-12? I've been fine up until now, but the past week or so I've been nauseous at least once a day, and actually threw up once (although it was after DH also got sick and we had the same thing for lunch).

ambz06060 · July 2014

My doctor told me my first ultrasound isn't until 20 weeks because most insurances don't cover them until then unless there is a dyer need. My husband wanted that exception just so he could see that this was real

MLSprague · July 2014

I'm not getting cramping, but dull, uncomfortable aches in my lower area. I'm thinking my uterus is expanding. It's not horrible, just uncomfortable. I'm also starting to feel light headed and headaches. Not liking this. Now I know how you feel. This isn't fun!!

TheQs2012 · July 2014

Y'all are making me feel so much better. I was just telling my husband how I feel so completely useless right now between the nausea and fatigue. 12 weeks yesterday, so praying it lets up soon! I can barely muster the energy to chase my 8-month-old around, much less clean the kitchen or do laundry...
