So I've developed a throbbing/aching feeling in my lower back (right side). I googled and discovered that such a sensation can mean everything from "You're having twins" to "you're having a m/c" to "that is normal as hormones stimulate various body adjustments including the loosening of ligaments in your pelvic area."
I feel like I'm driving blind right now! What does everything MEAN??
So nauseated. So so so nauseated. I still eat a bit here and there but oh my goodness I want to get out of the bathroom. This was the way things went in my last pregnancy and I want to cry thinking about going through this again.
Tired... Oh so tired. I'm hungry all the time but nothing sounds good. Can't sleep at night. Feel the need to clean the house all the time, but can't get the energy to do it.
I have lower stamina than usual still, and soreness while BF in the evening, though it didn't help that DS was over-tired from company being over and clamped down a bit : / I feel constantly sea sick now too-- a few weeks earlier than I did with DS, though I was warned that things may appear sooner than with a previous pregnancy. No vomiting, thankfully. IRL I'm trying to just push through and pretend like I feel fine though, because I am excited and then I'm not constantly thinking about how I don't feel my best.
Cranky (like, seriously so), over sensitive, exhausted but can't sleep, just starting to get sore boobs, some minor digestive stuff. No morning sickness yet but I expect that in another week or so based on past experience. I've always been an early symptom person but I didn't have things this intense previously. The insomnia definitely didn't kick in this early. I told a friend I'm turning into a bat. All I want to do all day is sleep but by the time night gets here, I can't. lol

I'm tired and yawn all day. I am sleeping in later than normal, but I do wake up at night. I eat constantly, and when I'm not eating, I don't feel good.
For some reason I was more nauseous last week than this week and I just got a bfp this weekend. Kinda crazy. I know morning sickness will hit full force pretty soon . It did with my other two so I'm going to try and enjoy the time I have left.
Can't tell if my queasiness and exhaustion is from baby or because I'm sick (very sore throat and sinus draining), but I'm definitely feeling yucky today... I'm 6w2d and have my first appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they can give me some answers - I did take 2 regular strength Tylenol tablets today, my throat couldn't take it anymore!
Is it normal to get cold like symptoms in the first trimester? Doesn't seem right for me to get sick like this in September in St. Louis... I work with college students, so I guess I could have randomly gotten their germs.

Sounds kind of like a combo of cold and pregnancy symptoms, especially since your immune system is probably weaker than normal. On the other hand, pregnancy can make your sinuses go crazy which can in turn cause a sore throat.. So I guess it could be either
my already bad allergies are even worse, bloated, and nausea is starting especially in the evening. I woke up to pee last night and it was in full effect.
I'm exhausted, boobs are soooooo sore, lower back is stiff (sitting all day doesn't help) and today is the first day that food is not appetizing to me. I have that uneasy stomach feeling in my throat so today I've only eaten some crackers and a cup of tea.
If only I could sleep it off, but noooooo, I'm up every other hour at night.
Hungry but nauseated. Tired but can't sleep. And again—the same as with my first pregnancy—my back is out of whack. Irritable and annoyed that DH wants tender time and I'm SO not in the mood!
So nauseous!! I think I'm 6 weeks now and I was nauseous from week 6-12 with DD. But it's bad. Feel like crap all day long. It's going to be 100 degrees here all week and I get hot way too easily. Don't sleep well. And I keep thinking I have a long way to go! Yesterday my husband asked me "Are you off your game or what?" because i was kind of out of it. I said "I've been sick all day...but I'm not complaining." My daughter says "Sure sounds like it!" I get no sympathy from those two!
Waves of nausea, especially if I have an empty stomach. No appetite whatsoever though. I'm also sleeping horribly. I can't stay asleep more than 2 hours or so at a time.
My boobs are killing me, I'm nauseous but hungry but nothing ever sounds good... sometimes I just wish I could puke so the feeling would go away. So so so sleepy and anytime I sit on the couch or bed to do something (read: I'm in grad school so it's my Masters degree homework) I fall asleep... I can't even watch TV or read for fun without dozing off... unless I'm trying to go to bed then I'm wide awake.
Nothing really. My crampiness has resolved. I'm tired but I'm not sure if it's more tired than I usually would be with school starting (I'm a teacher). My first appt is tomorrow and I'm nervous!

I am currently trying to remember what I ate the last time around. I am so nauseated, the last thing i want to do is think about what to eat not to mention actually doing it.
Anyone have any suggestions of what they eat when NOTHING sounds worth swallowing? Besides crackers...I am having such a hard time with "dry foods" especially. ugh. I forgot how miserable this part can be.
Boobs are killing me and I'm exhausted. Crying a lot. The worst thing for me tho is my hemorrhoids! Omg, it's never been this bad. Lol. And I'm only 4 weeks and change.
Boobs are super sore, that's new! I've been naseaueted since the day I found out, with throwing up. I'm also exhausted. Nothing like my first pregnancy.
I'm starting to feel nausea here and there. But it's so much better than the MS I had last time. No sore boobs yet. I'm trying to drink a lot of water and eat small frequent meals. As long as I'm full the nausea doesn't come but I feel like I'm eating all the time! My nose is super sensitive! I can smell sounds haha! I'm tired during the day and have insomnia at night which I didn't have last time! This pregnancy is so different from my DS.
You ladies are making me jealous. Im 4 weeks 5 days, and only really have cramps, back pain at night and peeing. I really want to feel all the feels to know its real!
Super nauseous in the car this morning - DH changed the AC so it would blow on my face and that made it worse. AIR made my nausea worse.....le sigh. This could be a long first trimester.
