I don't remember the stuffy nose thing starting so soon with my last kids, but already can't breathe. Im starving all the time, but super picky about what I'll be able to keep down.

I was wondering is this congestion could be a pregnancy thing! Almost 2 weeks ago I thought I had a cold but I still can't breathe through my nose and have no other symptoms of a cold. I do a bit better mid day but it gets worse again in the evening and the mornings are the worst.

Does anyone have any suggestions to calm this snotty garbage. I rather enjoy being able to breathe.

Woke up around 3 this morning and could not fall back asleep. Not sure if it is the pregnancy or everything happening at school. Also 1st day of feeling nauseous. I think my kids are noticing I am being a bitch. Not taking any crap today.

MisSmartyPants · November 2014

I slept the whole night like a baby...although I had some weird ass dreams about plain crashes and stuff. My boobs hurt like somebody has skinned them. They are also visibly larger and I already have some spillage. I am tired and gassy, but that is pretty much it. :-)

My belly is getting to me. Like I can't fit in my "fat" pants

had to resort to the preggi pants my mom bought me. The regular pants push on my belly when I'm sitting down, making me want to vomit! I thought I had at least another month left before I resorted to preggi pants! Boo. Just hope my co-workers don't notice bc I'm not ready to tell my boss or them as I am only 8 weeks along.

I feel exhausted and nauseous. I had cereal for breakfast and was craving OJ but had ran out. Then I thought about stopping for coffee, but I decided it probably would make my stomach hurt and there were too many cars in the line at Starbucks. I just want this work day to be over so I can rest! I took all next week off to use up my PTO and now it looks like I have to come in Monday because a big project has delays and can't be finished this week. blah. I want to curl up under my heated blanket and sleep. On the plus side morning sickness has not started for me yet, but I'm sure it will any day now.

@JustinsLovo‌ {{Hugs}} I know just how you feel! Hopefully once we hit second tri (or before then!) we will start feeling better, both physically and mentally/emotionally.

KatD2011 · November 2014

@JustinsLovo‌ you're not a Debbie downer! I started to keep a journal which has helped me 'talk' some things out. The blog might be worth a try. Hope you are feeling better soon

hjhmomma · November 2014

Nausea and extreme fatigue. Waiting at the RE office for my u/s and I would really like to take a nap but I'm afraid I'll snore.

mommycheff · November 2014

Im 5 weeks and still have pulling and cramping. anyone know how long this will last and if it's normal?

MigdaliaRose · November 2014

@TowerClimbersWife I'm so sorry you are going through this. What an awful situation : ( I hope you get good news today

Today's symptoms: nausea, gas, super smells (which is bad when my gas is so bad, lol). I'm trying to eat more often and smaller amounts, but ugh, I just don't want to eat at all and am feeling sick as a result. I can't wait to sleep for many many hours tonight.

Today I burst into tears over an NPR story on the radio about cranberry relish. Is that a symptom?

Oh thank God I'm not the only one! I totally did this. While sitting at the gas station because I'd forgotten to get gas and almost ran out. I was late for work. WTF? But I do love Susan Stramberg.

Very normal.

I don't really remember how long it lasts. I still have some cramping at 7w and change but not nearly as much as I did in weeks 5 and 6.

yelah250 · November 2014

I've been taking sominex and b6 and my night time nausea is gone. Feeling good now that I'm sleeping well. No other symptoms at this time.

Your uterus is stretching and expanding so it's totally normal. I don't know how long it lasts, though.

I have been in a bad state of mind the past few days. I just can't shake it. I have no worries about the pregnancy (maybe subconsciously though) but I can't pin point what is bothering me. I hate the world right now, I hate myself, my temper is short with LO, my house is a disaster, and I just want to go back to bed and pretend the world doesn't exist. I'm ready to feel myself again. This sucks.

I keep telling myself, this is what you wanted, you should be happy, but then I just get mad at myself for not feeling on top of the world excited and the cycle continues.

Sorry for the debbie downer post, just needed to get it out there. Not looking for sympathy, just needed to write it out. Maybe I will start a blog this weekend. Sorry ladies.

Hugs my friend! I hope your outlook gets better!

tigerlynx31413 · November 2014

Also, pregnancy hormones are lovely! DH and I put Toy Story in for DD this morning and while watching the previews I started getting teary eyed over the re-release of Beauty and the Beast. Seriously...it was a preview!

Lhansch1025 · November 2014

Can someone please help me with constipation!! Since I found out I was pregnant, I have only been going like once a week. My tummy looks like I'm 4 months preggi but I'm only 9 weeks!! I have tried everything to no avail. PLEASE HELP. Thank you in advance.

Mackalack · November 2014

@towerclimberswife - here's an encouraging story for you. A gal on my DD's BMB is pregnant with #3. The first 12 weeks were a nightmare for her because of a HUGE SCH. Like, so huge they told her to be prepared to miscarry (I know, that's not encouraging... here comes the encouraging part). She refused to do anything about it and kept being positive and resting, and now she's two months from her due date and that gigantic SCH is completely gone.

So hang in there and take it easy. T&P for you that you have an SCH that will reabsorb sooner than later!

My boobs hurt really bad and I too can't seem to sleep. I think it's because my US is today and I'm too nervous!

My US is today too and I had trouble sleeping also... FX for you!!

Hi all. I'm new. Been reading the threads a couple days and finally able to post. I'm 6 weeks. EDD 7/17. I woke up an hour ago to dark brown blood when i peed and freaked. There was no cramping or pain at all. I've had an ectopic that nearly killed me and a miscarriage in the past 2 years so I'm a bit of a worrier. I just went back to the bathroom and no more dark brown blood so I think I'm ok. I'm waiting for my dr office to open in 10 minutes to be sure.

I am having this symptom too and have also had a previous loss. Anything remotely resembling blood is so scary! My re told me not to worry and that a little spotting is normal - my first us is Tuesday and I can't wait. I'm on estradiol suppositories so it's hard to tell what color the spotting is because they turn everything blue, but I think dark brown. Kmfx this goes away for us both!

beepity · November 2014

I'm so constipated that I fear for what awaits me when I finally poop.

Yesterday was better with less nausea, I actually made dinner and then felt sick because I ate too much. Today is my Monday and I'm dreading this work week (2p-midnight) since I generally feel worse as the day goes on.

Mackalack · November 2014

@justinslovo - hang in there - I think we all have those moments.

Still not much going on over here. I generally feel good, but today I'm riding the struggle bus with staying awake. This morning my coughing for a tickle about made me gag, but I was able to control it. Cramps were back last night/first thing this morning, but they come and go.

Today's symptoms are more mental for me. I took my first test last Friday and it wasn't until that night I saw the test was positive (I know, it was out of the window, but I didn't wait the window that morning and both lines on my FRER were dark pink. I did take another on Saturday, so I'm not going off of an "out of the window" test - so don't flame me! haha). I can't believe it's been a week already... I feel like I just found out.

AshenSky · November 2014

The only time I get nausea is when I stop drinking water! (Right now I am in a dr.s office because of a raging sore throat. But, that isn't pregnancy related.) My BM have been more frequent than when I wasn't pregnant;) I'm hungry all the time and have massive brain fog!!! Hahah I am 6w and so blessed to only be having these little itty bitty symptoms. When I was pregnant with DD... I was sick for 7 months. Basically on bed rest. So WOHOOO! Hoping it means it's a boy;)

lustuart · November 2014

I'm nauseous and exhausted but so far no puking, which I'm happy about. For the past week though I've had pain in my legs, is anyone else having this? It feels like growing pains or like I ran 10k the day before.

kingsley123 · November 2014

So tired. Sore boobs kept me up all night. Nausea. Heartburn. And, I'm an emotional rollercoaster. Yesterday, I cried over an SNL skit. DH definitely gave me the side-eye.

car1081 · November 2014

So tired again today. Sore boobs, cranky, chapped lips, and today I feel sick to my stomach. No vomiting just sick feeling all day. I have so many zits on my chin its embarrassing. I can't wait to climb in bed!

Bountifulbride · November 2014

I have been having daily headaches this week which hasn't been fun.

MisSmartyPants · November 2014

Ok...I just finished my third cup of fermented beet juice!! That is a weird ass craving. Can't get enough of it...!! Dip some pickles in it and munch on rabbit pate in between...omg...I am in paradise!!!

Feegan · November 2014

So. Much. Morning. Sickness. HOORAY! (I know I'm getting side eyed right now but I don't care. I'm legit happy about this because it's a symptom I didn't get last time and it's so reassuring.) Bought some sea bands and they're helping the dry heaving but not so much the general feeling of death. I believe you ladies said B6 helps as well, right?

bumpuser10607170 · November 2014

Sore boobs.. And they're definitely growing now. Dry nips. And I'm bloated all the damn time! I feel like such a fatty sitting in my chair at work, not to mention how uncomfortable it is! Broke down and ordered some clearance Walmart maternity pants (and shorts, because they were only $4) last night. Looking forward to seeing how they fit. Im in between sizes according to their size chart so I ordered both.

Also, the nausea is starting to kick in, when I first wake up and in the evening, but it's not that bad. Hoping it stays that way through the holidays!

dreinhardt · November 2014

Afternoon nausea hit while eating lunch but I ate a couple clementines that smelled and tasted so good. Feeling ok again. I am also worrying/trying not to worry about my subchorionic hematoma. I have had no bleeding so far and I'm 7w2d. I'm just waiting for it to come and I have this feeling that if it doesn't then it's just getting bigger and worse. But then if I do bleed I will likely get scared. I better get used to this thought process because I won't know anything until Dec. 10 at the earliest. Wish I could feel more excited but I'm scared to let myself.

adge629 · November 2014

Cramping on and off all day. Not really nauseous or hungry but have gotten sick once today. Nipples are sore but not entire boob.

beepity · November 2014

@DarcyHermione‌ I was just about to post something similar.

I started having it last night, I thought it might be leftover gel from the dildo cam but it continued today.

It's really thick and white. Doesn't smell funny and I'm not itching down there, but I've never had a yeast infection so I don't know what's going on??

oops34 · November 2014

I'm tired. Really really tired. I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, and then no matter how tired I am, I can't go back to sleep! I'm also ridiculously bloated and peeing all the time. Nausea hasn't really set in for me yet, although I'm sure it's just around the corner as I've gotten with all three of my kids. And oh, I'm always really thirsty. Weird.

shelbutler · November 2014

My symptoms have pretty much disappeared except the bloat, boobs, and fatigue. My boobs really only hurt if they get bumped though, so that's much better than last week when I would sit in my office just holding them. Haha. Not sure how much of my fatigue is pregnancy related or just the fact that I didn't get any sleep due to some crazy events that unfolded. But - I'm finally sleeping through the night, except to pee maybe twice.

babycarb · November 2014

Started spotting today which is always really easy to not think about......

annerenee07 · November 2014

Anyone else ridiculously tired??? All I want to do some days is just sleep. Nausea is beginning to kick especially after I eat and when I do not eat for a long time...O and my boobs hurt so bad and I definitely see bra shopping in my near future!!

brawcli · November 2014

Took the day off work today to try to get some chores done. Sat down for 10 minutes at 9 am and woke up at 1 pm!! So tired. And grumpy.

mrssnyder83 · November 2014

Been pretty fine so far with the morning sickness but lately haven't been able to eat anything. Also been breaking out in hives almost everyday. Got weighed at the dr yesterday & have lost 5 pounds since being pregnant.
