6 weeks pregnant, annoyed that I'm feeling and showing very bloated.

Breasts are larger and tender but having a very small cup I'm totally ok with that!

samanthaglynn · September 2014

I swear a breeze goes by and my boobs hurt, there's that, light cramps, tension headaches, EXHAUSTED, joints seem achy? (Is that normal?) those have been my symptoms since I found out at almost 4 weeks, I'm 6w1d now and all symptoms are the same but I started having random waves of nausea but no vomiting.

lesleypdx · September 2014

@mustlovedogs63‌ I have been getting vertigo and it's awful! I'm 7w today and the past few days been having it on and off. Today was probably the worst. I just want to lay on the couch all day, don't want to walk or drive. It's such a weird feeling! Is this common? I was thinking of calling my OB to mention it.

shoff2 · September 2014

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days. I feel nauseous 24/7 but when I try to puke I can't. My boobs are tender and getting quite big. I'm always tired and dozing off throughout the day. I'm sore, achy, emotional, and moody. I feel miserable.

marijaa333 · September 2014

I'm 7w today. Symptoms come and go, but the constant ones seem to be serious fatigue in the evenings, constipation, and fuller boobs; bloat used to be constant but now comes and goes randomly. Burping here and there as well. Still no nausea, except for very rare and mild momentary queasiness. I'm happy about that but can't help worrying as well. First U/S is next Friday.

rusticmomma · September 2014

My latest symptom has been vertigo, anyone else getting this?

I always struggle with dizzy spells on and off but it has definitely been pretty constant the past couple weeks for me. We found out a week ago today that we are pregnant (according to u/s 6 wks 2 days) and I was feeling dizzy about a week before then and still to this day.

xraychick01 · September 2014

@mustlovedogs63 I haven't experienced vertigo, but yesterday I felt a little dizzy/lightheaded.

BellaCurry · September 2014

Morning sickness all day. Vomiting. Gerd. Fatigue. Sore boobs. Loss of appetite. I had grapes last night. Threw up. Some still stayed in stomach. 12 hours later stomach is still bloated and in pain. Seriously!!!

xraychick01 · September 2014

A couple weeks ago, before I found out or even suspected I was pregnant, I noticed I had some sore lower and oblique abs. Seems like I am experiencing that a little again. Anyone else have this?

Jillio31 · September 2014

Yes I agree! I don't like the waiting game. My first appt. isn't for two more weeks! I swear time is crawling by. I have minimal symptoms at this point (sore breasts, hardly any nausea, a little bit of cramping and fatigue) so I would also like to know that the baby is ok. I too can be a bit of a worrier.

marijaa333 · September 2014

Jillio31 same here. one more week before my 8 week US. Hang in there... the time certainly crawls but it does go by eventually.

xojamerz87xo · September 2014

First time pregnant and can.not.believe how tired I am all the time! I'm only 5wks6days and I have never been a "nap person" but I have fallen asleep on the couch 3 times this past week. Feeling drained is my only symptom so far.

jennadesigns · September 2014

I broke out my fat jeans today and I'm so relieved. The bloat has been bad this time around. I'm so much more comfortable now.

I'm 8 weeks now and haven't had any morning sickness - I know how lucky I am and I'm thankful every day - I hoping I skip it all together. I do have sore boobs and am constipated. Never did I think I'd be so happy about pooping! Overall, I am just so thankful I am feeling okay. With the pregnancy I lost in '13, I was so unbelievably sick I was literally convinced I was going to die. Not feeling like that is a relief. With the one I lost earlier this year, I didn't have much of any symptoms. This time around I've seen the little bean on ultrasound and I know all is good, so I'm not worrying as much for my lack of symptoms.

mommy77023 · September 2014

Sore boobs mostly in the morning, needing to pee almost after every drink of water, tired and hungry. I need a boost of energy! Hope this lazy feeling doesn't stick around too much longer.

tjsignorelli · September 2014

I've had some cramping, but very minor, can't stand the smell of chicken and some serious nasal congestion. Feeling extra energy when staying busy but the moment I sit down I feel complete exhaustion. Other symptoms have come and gone after brief stints, but these appear to be staying.

chrissi1981 · September 2014

Same here. Got the bloat, sore boobs and happy that they are growing

) random moments of nausea which doesn't last long. I cramp on and off too. I had a mmc back in July but I can say I'm having more symptoms with this pregnancy ...

anydots55 · September 2014

I'm at 5w4d and I've noticed a huge increase in fatigue. Taking naps and staying active has really helped me get through the day. Not sure if it's my imagination but my boobs are starting to feel slightly more tender/sensitive but this has only been in the last 24 hours so monitoring that still.

headovaheels · September 2014

Feeling pretty crappy since yesterday

(

BunBunRina · September 2014

I'm a first timer at 6 weeks 4 days with sore boobs, gagging nausea, sooo hungry, constantly peeing and tired after 2 pm, I have morning energy but as soon as afternoon hits I'm useless. And I'm super moody I cried watching an episode of Call the Midwife.

jessanne27 · September 2014

I'm between 5-6 weeks and symptoms are there but not too bad. Tired in the afternoon, sore boobs, and occasional mild nausea. The toughest part has been my aversions to smells at work that bring on strong nausea! I'm a school nurse and have always had a strong stomach in any situation, but things that I see/smell on a regular are now bothering me!

Telus · September 2014

I am in the same boat. Only major "symptom" is fatigue and my first prenatal appt isn't til the 8th... Hopefully I don't have to wait too long after that for an ultrasound!

BunBunRina · September 2014

I know how you feel, Before I found out I was starting a new job in a kitchen as a baker and I'm used to bakery smells not kitchen smells. I was never senstive before but after 2 days of smelling salmon and cooked broccoli I had to give up the position.

jameeahill · September 2014

I was like that the other day!

xraychick01 · September 2014

6w 2d and having some mild period-like cramping and light brown spotting this morning. It's making me very nervous.

ShawnaTurner1 · September 2014

I'm new and can finally answer something! I have been on the bump for over a week, but unable to respond to anything till today.

This is my second pregnancy and it's been much harder than the first. I'm 7weeks 3 days and I've had about every symptom in the book. Sore breasts, constant nausea, Major gag reflex just eating toast, migraines and fatigue. I can't stand the smell of meat, raw of otherwise. This last week I've broken out in hives all over but can't figure out what it is i'm reacting to. Doctor told me there was nothing they can do besides benedryl and cortisone cream, which does nothing! I left the Dr.s office crying! The only "new" thing i've added is taking prenatal vitamins, so she said to stop taking for a couple day's to see if symptoms stop. So far, it's not making a huge difference. Anyone else had this happen? She also told me it could last throughout the entire pregnancy, which is so discouraging. I want to rip my skin off!

MrsLolaSky · September 2014

ShawnaTurner1 - OH my GOODNESS! I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening to you, but also relieved that it's not just me!!!

On Friday evening, I broke out in hives all over my body and face and by Saturday morning, my eyes swelled shut…. I am 7 weeks 2 days.

I also couldn't think of anything new, but I've had morning sickness and for a week, I've been basically only eating toast and tomatoes or pasta and tomatoes or cheese pizza…. We think it's the increase in tomato consumption in my case.

But let me tell you a few things we've done in case it helps you:

Benadryl was also not really helping. I'm now on this combination: cetirizine hydrochloride (brand name - Zyrtec) and famotidine tablets (acid reducer) - approximately every 12 hours. Benadryl and these drugs are all Category B, which are usually deemed to be safe in pregnancy. I also have an anti-itch creme that I use rarely topically if a hive gets out-of-hand itchy. The swelling in my face has reduced and the hives are lighter and less raised today, so I think I'm getting better. We spoke to an allergist, and he was a little more hopeful than your doctor, saying it's possible that this could go away in a few days. But, he said it could definitely come back if I have a predisposition for it.

I'm going to be extra careful with what I eat and avoid tomatoes for a little while (one of my favorite foods!) ---

GOOD LUCK TO YOU! PM me if you ever want to commiserate.

ShawnaTurner1 · September 2014

Oh i'm glad i'm not the only one! Not that I want others to feel miserable, but i just felt like i was going crazy. Thanks for the suggestions, i'm going to try them out! My doc just advised cold showers/baths, ice on really bad spots, and the cortisone cream and anti-histamine. If this lasts the whole pregnancy i might need to be checked into an insane asylum. I've alway's had sensitive skin and use non-scented EVERYTHING, but pregnancy has taken this all to a whole new level. I never had this with my son.

Jerseymommy11 · September 2014

Exhaustion!!! Not easy with a toddler

teachnva · September 2014

7w5d I still have extremely sore boobs that look more like I'm 20 again lol. I'm exhausted and only get nauseous if I don't eat all the time. Mild back ache and some skin issues going on. So bloated I look pregnant already.

chelseaepley1994 · September 2014

I'm 5 weeks 4 days today. Boobs have been the tender if you push on them a little. They definitely get worse at night. Also have new blue lines on them. Tiny waves of nausea once in awhile, and if I get up to fast sometimes it feels like I pulled a muscle near my ovaries. Oh and I have zero patience. But I want more symptoms! I had a miscarriage earlier this year in May. Praying this one sticks. I go in tomorrow for my first app.

Kzamler · September 2014

Nausea, sore breasts, and exhaustion! Craving salty foods and carbs!

alyssarenee2011 · September 2014

Gas locks suck! Pain in my back and my stomach is hard as a rock. What are some remedies to help?

carleyxo · September 2014

5w2d and feeling horrible . nausea all the time , only way it fades is if im constantly eating .. Sore boobs & taste buds are all out of wack .. This is the worst

EEButler611 · September 2014

This is my first pregnancy after TTC for almost 3 years. I've been ridiculously exhausted, bloated, sore tatas, and peeing like crazy!! Congrats to you all!

Goolsby11 · September 2014

Hey. I just found out that I'm pregnant. I am 5 weeks today. So far I'm experiencing sore breasts and nipples, heighten sense of smell, some cramping and starting to have to pee a lot. This is our first pregnancy. We have been trying since December.

bspector81 · September 2014

I'm a little nervous, because at 7 weeks, I'm having almost no symptoms. We became pregnant though IVF after a long battle with infertility, so I think a part of me is having a hard time believing that this will just all go to plan, because up to this point, it's felt like nothing has (I know it sounds negative, but I typically am a very positive person!) There's a piece of me that feels like I have to still be ready for that bad news that I've heard now for 2 years.

I've been very tired, and am grateful for that because it's the only thing that's really letting me know, or making me believe that I'm still pregnant. I'm also having to pee slightly more. I keep worrying if these symptoms are even really real or all in my head because I want to feel something so badly. (the tiredness feels pretty real, though). No nausea, food cravings, break outs, breast swelling or tenderness. I know, I should consider myself lucky, but I'm just so nervous that I'm going to be one of those people who shows up to my first ultrasound, only to find that there is no heart beat! Ahhhhh... I'm becoming such a worrier! My ultrasound is Tuesday, so hopefully that will set my mind to ease some!
