Insomnia. I was exhausted this afternoon, probably could've passed out at my desk. Tried to take a nap when I got home... No luck. A little tired now, but I know once I go to bed I'll be up in 3 hours and do it all over again.
Can I also add: the crankiness. An earlier conversation with DH. "I want a hug. You're doing it wrong. Stop touching me." I'm pretty sure DH is afraid for his life at this point in time.

For me it's a toss up between feeling nauseated all day and this horrid back pain in the middle of my back. I can't sit, stand or lay down comfortably. My back almost burns with pain.
New one as of just now, but hemorrhoids. I've never had this problem before... Didn't even think I had a problem now until I went to the bathroom. Ugh.
Update... It is now a tie between my previous post and the constant peeing. I seriously just went 20 mins ago if even that and now I have to go again badly. At this rate I don't think it's going to take very long for people at work to find out... :-|
I think the most annoying one is the exhaustion. Of course I don't have time to be tired because I high school teacher, I have a 2 yr old, and I am in grad school.
Also my boobs hurt...somedays they are not too bad but then somedays it is rough!
Echoing above, insomnia - I wake up every night now at 1am and toss until 3 or so. It's getting old.
That and the food mess - I'll be starving, think, "omg a salad sounds fabulous! (or burrito, or turkey sandwich, or whatever) and go to make it and I'll see the lettuce and be like, "that looks awful. what else sounds good. oh - right - nothing."
Insomnia. Plus, I have ibs that was under control before the pregnancy but now has come back. Luckily my doctor found a safe medicine or I'd be hiding at home every day.
My boobs hurt so bad!! It's painful just to take a deep breath they are so sore. And taking a bra off.... I have to give myself a pep talk before attempting.
Last night, I started having heartburn/indigestion. It's like an annoying acidy burning feeling at the bottom of my throat. I had this in third trimester with my son, but never this early.
Nausea is the worst for me. I can deal with the sore boobs, backaches, and any other symptoms. The nausea is just sitting there and not doing anything. I have had a stomach in knots for the past 3 days yet have not thrown up. Hey stomach! Make up your mind already!

Anyone else?
Yes! I had it all pregnancy with DD and it looks like with this one as well. Mine is most definitely acid reflux and ends up in the back of my mouth/throat
Definitely the heart burn. I've had it since my BFP and it lasts all day long. Tums are only minimally helping. It's to the point where I don't want to eat anything
I thought the boob soreness was the worst but in the past few days, I've began feeling horribly nauseous (like waking up in the night from it). I've been taking some digestive enzymes and have ended up fine and not throwing up.
Well today, I woke up at 6:45 am and have puked all day until like 3pm. I have been in misery. Like sweating, hot, and then cold. It's like I have a stomach virus. I read that it can go all day but I had to call in to work and I honestly have no idea how other women get through this... or how I will if it's all the time?? I did a punch of ginger powder at the back of my tongue, tried smelling lemon water (something we read online), the digestive enzymes and nothing. It's just terrible bc I haven't been able to eat or drink anything without throwing it up, so obviously I'm worried about the nutrition aspect!
Anyway, sorry to write a book. I was just quite shaken by this experience and hope maybe someone will have some advice!
@hippygipsy When I was PG with DD I had all day sickness. It started around 4 1/2 weeks and lasted until I was about 20 weeks and lost 20 lbs. It was really miserable but just remember that it won't last forever.
Try to drink as much water as possible! I was in the ER 3 times with dehydration because I just couldn't keep water down. I also found that drinking ensure shakes was my best bet at getting any type of nutrients.
Be sure to call your doctor if you feel like you haven't kept water down for a couple days. Dehydration during pregnancy can be dangerous!
Feeling nauseous all day. It's the worst in the heat, and in the car, so since I have an hour commute to work and no AC when I get there, check and check
I slept well last night, but that had been a struggle the last few.
Having to pee so much has been really hard, since I'm a teacher. I've had to go between classes so often, we only have 4 minutes, and it's annoying.
I used the kindergarten bathroom while volunteering the other day! haha
