6 weeks 3 days...

I'm always feeling super full and nothing sounds appetizing to me... Not nauseous at all, I just don't seem to want anything. Also tender boobs still, tired, and slight cramps every once and a while.

branders74 · September 2014

Oh the nausea!! I just wish I could eat something without feeling like it is going to come back up!

takehart · September 2014

I'm 5 weeks and 4 days. I've been a little more tired than usual but nothing horrible. I've not been sick at all so far. I'm bloated, have slightly sore nipples, and my face has been really dry and itchy (out of the blue). Also, coffee doesn't taste good anymore. And I was a 3 cups of coffee a day kind of person! My mom was extremely sick with me during her entire pregnancy so I am a little terrified it's going to hit me full force any time now. I hope not!

@ccarr0823 debilitating pain is worth calling the doctor. It's one thing to feel slightly crampy like period cramps but not being able to stand or sit-I would call. As for the morning sickness I feel like mine has been incredibly off and on-one week I feel awful and this week I hardly notice it. So don't stress if you can help it, but reach out to your doctor or the nurse line if they have one.

@bdbrandt2 - I really appreciate your reply. And... feel like the biggest blonde there ever could be. I called doc last night and told her what I was experiencing. She told me to get a stool softener since she thought it was likely just backed up poo. She was right! Apparently all I needed to do was poop. Who knew constipation cramps could get that bad though. As far as the MS issue goes... I've thrown up twice today so I'm just being more patient and taking it day by day.

Thank you for responding

mabrams28 · September 2014

Six weeks one day and exhausted...tender boobs and so so hungry right now not to mention extremely bloated!

lesleypdx · September 2014

I go from "nothing sounds good to eat" to, "I have to eat right now or someone might die" frequently throughout the day.. Then, of course, nausea after eating.. Gagging and dry heaving brushing my teeth every day. Boobs are already huge and foreign to me. 6w5d today and loving every second of my misery

StaceyPo · September 2014

I'm bloated ALL the time! My stomach looks like I'm carrying a lot of fat, not a baby.

I'm also tired all the time. I find myself sneaking out of work to take naps in my car just so that I can make it through the day

SassyPants150 · September 2014

Ugh...I only feel nauseated at night when I lay down.

daniosaur · September 2014

Right now I'm just like... forget all my other symptoms: if I don't poop like right now, I'm going to cry. :-S

marykeiser · September 2014

I want to cut off my boobs. At least for sleeping and working out purposes.

Coco23 · September 2014

7 wks 6days; EXHAUSTED! Nausea, aching boobs, moodiness, hot flashes and My face just starting breaking out earlier this week...pimples everywhere!

(

MrsPDX · September 2014

Today (7w, 1 day).... Bloated bloated bloated!!!!

(

I feel so uncomfortable!!! And DH is acting all "what's your problem?" And I'm like oh just the fact that I'm bloated, hungry, constipated, exhausted and sore, mucus everywhere!!! Gahhhh

bbmcblack · September 2014

6w 2d and virtually no symptoms. Boobs were sore until about 4 days ago and now they are fine. Makes it hard to have faith that I am truly pregnant. Anyone else in my boat?

cece3d · September 2014

Boobs are sore and I get nausea when I don't eat. I've been sick with allergies so hacking up all this crap only makes the nausea worse. I have pregnancy amnesia. I seem to keep forgetting I'm pregnant until I'm nauseous. I'm gassy beyond belief unless I take the nausea meds that constipate. It's a big change from my first two pregnancies where I had morning sickness all the time. Maybe that's why I don't feel pregnant. Either way can we be done with this already? I used to daydream about being pregnant, then my first two pregnancies sucked.

misselt · September 2014

I'm dizzy, have a headache,nausea but no vomiting, headaches, every smell irritates me, I also have a cold, blocked nose nd I pee almost every 2hrs. My sleeping pattern has changed, I crave so many things but I find it hard to actually eat.

aprilonufrak · September 2014

When is morning sickness supposed to start? I'm two days shy of being 6 wks and so far all I can do is eat like a pig and sleep.

peacelovemama · September 2014

I've lived on Allegra-D and lattes, I'm dying!

KayB2013 · September 2014

@carrieskeeter‌ I'm also 5 wks going on 6... I'm now 6 going on 7wks and at the end of my 5 going to 6 I started to get really sucks also. I'm literally extremely nauseous 24-7. I broke down last night and just cried to my husband because I've been so miserable. I know it's going to be worth it but it's been hard for me to think like that the past couple of days. (Thank you for reminding me!). :-). A friend of mine recommended the Lollie-pops sold at babiesrus for morning sickness...I'm gonna try them today. I'll let everyone know how they work. If anyone else has any ideas...that would be great! Right now I'm just sucking down sprite and eating when I can...

aklove14 · September 2014

I'll be 6 weeks on Sunday and I am still cramping like crazy

( no spotting or bleeding but the cramps are constant and really annoying...anybody else having bad cramping? Other than that I've just been exhausted and my boobs have been a little tender. I've also been having the craziest dreams and waking up every single morning at the same time, 6:04 to be exact...it's weird

annamalg · September 2014

I had minimal symptoms up until week 6.5. Just sore boobs, frequent urination, and random twinges. I had a disappointing 6week 6 day ultrasound where the fetal pole was hard to find, measured 6week 1day and could not detect heartbeat. Now I am beside myself, and my few pregnancy symptoms have disappeared worrying me further. Having another ult Monday and will find out yay or nay I'm assuming. This is an IVF baby after 2 years of trying, so the thought of starting from scratch is exhausting on every level. Try to stay positive till Monday.

I hope you'll have a better US on Monday!

Yes, I've had on and off AF-like cramping since week 3, I'm now in week 7. It's miserable and makes me feel even more nauseous.

krankechic · September 2014

5w 1day and I have only the following symptoms:
- Waking up to pee
- Tooting like there's no tomorrow (probably due to diet change)
- Bottom of my breasts ache when touched or when bra is taken off
- Upper tummy ache and hardness due to hernia in tummy that I was born with (hormones are clearly aggravating it).
- Moody a bit
- A little constipation here and there

Almost 9 weeks and today am extremely worried. I've been having cramping similar to those I had prior to endo diagnosis and surgery about 10 years ago and it is throwing me for a loop. At one point today it got so bad I could barely stand up all the way straight because it felt like I was going to rip something if I forced it. ZERO spotting or bleeding... which is somewhat comforting. But I can't shake the feeling that something is going incredibly wrong in there. Also noticed today that MS is less than it has been for some time... so of course I'm fearing I've had a MMC.

Could those of you that have experienced a MMC please tell me how you felt leading up to discovery? Any symptom changes? Physical changes? I have an appt on 10/13 so I'm trying to be patient and not bug my doctor's office for something that could be normal.

The pain is just so strange. If I sit with my legs crossed in my office chair, it hurts terribly to try and inhale a full breath of air. Same if I stand and try to stretch by leaning backwards slightly, not incapacitating pain but enough to cause concern.

Any advice and reassurance will
be greatly appreciated.

I had a missed miscarriage in June. My symptoms hadn't been bad yet, tired, tender (but not excuciating like with my first pregnancy) breasts, & drinking water made me vurp.
They had deceased, & I had a tiny bit of light pink spotting.
It went away, & came back a week later. This time it went away & cane back in a couple days, and there was more. I told my body I was tired of being afraid, & if I'd lost my baby I needed to know. The next day I had red spotting, so I called my midwife & I went in for an ultra sound. At that point I was 9 & 1/2 weeks, & my baby had stopped growing at 7w2d.
I didn't really get any cramps until a day or two after I found out. I waited another few days, tried misoprostol, & it didn't work so I had a d&c at 10w3d.

If you are worried, talk to your dr or midwife. It won't bug them. And too bad if it does.
The pain you are describing doesn't sound like anything I experienced when I miscarried. Could it be round ligament pain or pinched nerves?
Best of luck.

Thank you so much for this. The cramping decreased to almost nothing after I pooped. I know that may sound weird, but all my life I've had poo cramps that were nearly identical to AF cramps, sometimes to the point of it being difficult to discern between the two. I still get some cramping here and there, but am chalking it up to either constipation or round ligament pain. Before I even turned 30 I was told I'm already in line for one knee replacement and a possible left hip replacement. Since I'm familiar with pain in both joints, and after reading about how the round ligament pain can be construed as cramps, I'm thinking my hip flairs up and causes some of them. Thankfully I still haven't seen any spotting or bleeding and since the cramping have been diligently checking every time I use the restroom.

Thank you so much for your insight. I really appreciate it

blastocarrier30 · September 2014

Oh god, the gas. Burps. Farts. Fart build up that wakes me up in the middle of the night to "go to the bathroom [fart]".

Also smell sensitivity. Coworker's lunch yesterday made me want to hurl. Mostly things at him. Did I mention being cranky. That one too.

In happier news, has anyone else started talking to the bean yet? My family things I'm nuts, but "little blasto" is my constant company. And sometimes I have to convince him/her not to make me feel so crappy.

Hconner3 · September 2014

Woke up really emotional and scarred today. I believe because my first ultra sound is Monday. My boobs have grown a cup size, sore joints, some nausea when I wake up in the middle of the night, constant peeing, no aversions really. No real morning sickness.. Makes me concerned even though logically I know symptoms don't mean anything!!! I just can't get myself to relax Feeling just terrified for bad news Monday. Does everyone feel this way/ did you feel this way?

evesglow14 · September 2014

Probiotics are helping me a bunch!

evesglow14 · September 2014

@bbmcblack‌ ....I am in the same boat. 7w3d no symptoms. I am so sorry to say that on this forum as everyone sounds miserable but it is actually pretty disconcerting. At 5 weeks I was slightly queasy, fatigued, and my boobs hurt something awful. Now nothing. Are you still symptom free?

bbmcblack · September 2014

@evesglow14‌ - yes, still pretty much symptom free. I have my first ultrasound on Monday so I am praying for a strong heartbeat. I've been thru the whole missed miscarriage thing before and I can't handle it again!

morgansWed105148 · September 2014

I think my symptoms are bipolar!!! one minute I feel prego and the next I don't.. Im tired, my boobs hurt, im a tiny bit nauseous, cramps but then it all goes away for awhile. Anyone else feel this way?

Lauracox3 · September 2014

I am 9 weeks today, and I had not had many symptoms of pregnancy up until week 8. I had mild nausea and boob aches. I could cure my nausea with food. However...the exhaustion has peaked at the 8-9 week mark. I can barely keep my eyes open by the end of the day now despite increasing my iron intake. My first appointment was this week, and my doctor said that it is typical to have heightened symptoms between the 8-10 week mark. I'm just getting my exercise and chores done in the morning now, because I can not muster up the energy to do anything past 4 P.M.

xraychick01 · September 2014

I am 6 weeks today. Been experiencing bloating for a couple weeks straight, fatigue, peeing, sore boobs, and today some dizziness.

SassyPants150 · September 2014

Good grief...I can't wait to be able to share the news. After losing 50 pounds after DD was born I feel like everyone is talking about me getting "fat" again. Mother flucking bloat.

Eta: because I didn't finish my thoughts

emwilson80 · September 2014

Ok so wk 5-8 weeks I was nauseous. Now I'm wk 9 and I scarily have been feeling pretty good. My energy is coming back and I only get nauseous when I'm hungry! Should I be worried??!

CTri17 · September 2014

I need to be more judicious with what I eat because I need to think about what it will feel like coming back up. My salad from 2pm came back up 5hours later and it was no fun.ugh

MrsLolaSky · September 2014

I don't want to be an AW and start my own thread (at least not yet)... But anyone else break out in hives???? (This pregnancy or a previous pregnancy???)

I'm 7 weeks today, not uncommon symptoms (MS, bloating, etc)--but today I got hives all on my arms, legs, and (parts of) face!!!

Any words of comfort or wisdom for me?

annamalg · September 2014

Sounds like more of us than I expected have few or no symptoms, which I am grateful for -but is terrifying at this precarious time. It's a comfort to hear from the other ladies that are experiencing the same. Makes me feel less alone and like everything might be ok.

mustlovedogs63 · September 2014

I'm between six and seven weeks and I'm exhausted. I don't have energy to do anything but work. I also am having bad heartburn and am always hungry. My latest symptom has been vertigo, anyone else getting this?
