Re: Weekly symptom thread - 9/14

  • I am still feeling pretty awesome so far.  I will be 7 weeks on Thursday :) 

    The only thing I am struggling with is being OH SO TIRED.  Thankfully my last day of work is this Wednesday and I will be able to enjoy being home with DS and nap when he naps :)

  • Nausea reared its head this morning, and I'm kind of relieved. It's not terrible, but it's there.

    Insomnia is still crappy.

    Breasts are sore, but it doesn't bother me.

    That's about it.

  • So I do have a touch of nausea. I basically feel carsick. I'm not vomiting or anything, but I feel like I just got out of a long car ride with a bad driver. Also, tired. I decided this week to try a "mind-over-matter" approach with this last one; this week I'm really trying to hit the gym, stay on top of tasks at home and see if perhaps just staying active can help ease the fatigue. 


    Me: 38; DH: 41
    DS: Born 5-17-16 

  • I have a touch of nausea as well - in the am and waves throughout the day. My boobs feel bigger than they ever have and I am so so so moody .. Which sucks! I had zero symptoms - nothing - with the twins - I was convinced I wasn't pregnant until I had to start wearing maternity clothes!
    So this is all new for me
  • Nausea for sure. Boobs are noticibly bigger (as confirmed by DH :| ) and sore. Bloating is ridiculous. All of my pants right now are kinda uncomfortable where before they were a little loose even. Blehh. :(
  • Bloating and fatigue are getting the best of me. My boobs are so sore and only one of them has grown, so now I'm worried I'm going to be incredibly lopsided. If I don't eat for a few hours I start to feel slightly nauseated and lightheaded.

    Also I want to throat punch someone today. This pregnancy is starting out so different than with DD.
  • Nausea ALL day long! Not throwing up but seriously wish I would so I could feel better. All I have been able to get down in the past 3 days is beef broth and oyster crackers.
  • Symptoms come and go. Felt a lil off this morning but we went for a run and I don't feel as queasy now. But all I wanna do is sleep! DH is reading a book for expectant fathers and is identifying more symptoms than I thought I had. I pee every ten minutes now- but only in the morning. And I think my left boob is growing but not my right! I'm also really itchy on my left side of my stomach. Maybe babes will be a lefty ;)

  • Felt really queasy last night after dinner until I went to bed and it's been coming in waves on an off. The bloat is the worst for me. I blew up like a balloon last pregnancy and even around 12 or so weeks had to get my engagement ring cut off because my fingers were so swollen! Trying to drink a ton of water to help combat that this time, but my pants are definitely feeling a bit tight right now.

    My left boob is growing and my right is not! There's definitely about a cup size difference in them right now. I'm convinced I'm going to have to start stuffing the right side of my bra eventually to look normal!
  • Symptoms hit hard a few days ago. I go between exhausted and nauseated with some moments of normalcy in between. Starting to get headaches and morning diarrhea which I had with my son the first trimester. My right boob is growing way more than my left so I'll join the lopsided tit club. Altogether I'm just taking it one hour at a time!
  • Definitely feeling the fatigue and sore breasts. A new symptom just hit yesterday... Big time food aversion! My husband fried some meat and I was kinda repulsed. I could smell it from across the house, and I couldn't get far enough. DH was so understanding and we ate something else for dinner once the air cleared.

    Keep forgetting to take my prenatal at night... Took it this AM and threw up for 5 min... That's the only moments I've had of sickness (again, just from prenatal). Sore boobs/nipples. Coming down from my cold so my sense of smell has decreased while sick. Oh, and bloating... I'd like to fit in my pants again.. But for now I will leave them unbuttoned ;)

    Appointment/US on Wed!
  • I've been super nauseous all day and night.  I've purchased the seabands, but I can't tell if they're working.  I'm impressed with those of you working out, I've felt far too sick, and after a full day's work and a long commute home, I'm feeling guilty that I can't bring myself to eat healthy or exercise. first Dr. appt. today, hopefully some helpful advice...

  • All of my symptoms have gone away for now.  I'm 6 weeks.  Last week I had acid reflux, sore boobs, cramps, and bloating.  The past couple of days I've has nothing.  Trying to enjoy not having symptoms, but at the same time I'm worried they went away.  I have a doctor's appt on Friday, so hopefully that will put my mind at ease. 
  • So I am very tired slept all day Saturday and Sunday napped any chance I got. I have an upset stomache but not to the point of feeling nauseated. It just feels like when I am really nervous about something my stomach gets upset. It does not keep me from eating, but snacking on crackers and drinking water helps. But again not anything major.

  • My boobs are super sore, and it doesn't help that my youngest is still nursing. I'm really bloated and very tired, but other than those things, I feel really good so far!

    I am also really nauseous.  All the time.  Unless I'm eating.  But nothing sounds good, ever. 

    Heartburn like whoa.

    I've also been really stuffy and my sinus have been acting up.  I don't usually get allergies.  I remember something about our immune systems being down (as not to fight off the embryo) so I am thinking it's that.

     

    edit - why can I never spell nauseous?  also, too lazy to look it up.

  • Nauseous all day long. Throwing up more and more. Yesterday was projectile vomit. I'm miserable. 
  • Mostly I'm just super exhausted so far, but the last couple of days I've been quite nauseous. My husband smoked some ribs yesterday (which I normally love) and the smell was making me gag all day. Also I'm having super sore boobs as well. I'm 7 weeks today!
  • Nausea all day but I am taking Diclectin which is helping but I still can't eat very much. I am really tired all I think about is crawling into bed and having a long sleep. No energy really. Still bloated so many of my clothes are tight which is very uncomfortable :(
  • I'm nauseous and exhausted. I can't sleep at night and was up until 3:30. It was awful. I'm really bloated and my clothes barely fit.

    I. Need. Sleep.
  • @yogahh - I'm inspired by your running!
     
    Starting to feel different this week (6 weeks) taking that as a good sign. 
    Sore boobs for the past week - and they feel really full. 
    I've been fatigued for the past two weeks, but also not having any coffee so that could also have something to do with it. 
    I've had PMS like cramps on and off for the past week. 
    I feel like I'm starving all the time but nothing sounds appetizing.  Which I'm not sure what this means! But I guess it's better than vomiting. 
  • Waves of nausea, tired, headaches and mild cramping off and on. The cramping still freaks me out as I had a loss last year at 5 weeks and will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Just hoping for the best!
  • So nauseous for most of the day, no food is appetizing, tired, and of course the spotting and cramping. In other words, I'm a mess. I feel totally blindsided, too... I had none of this with my daughter. :-&

    5 weeks today and I'm doing pretty good. The bloating and constipation are lessening. Heartburn just hit me within the past couple days. I had it pretty bad with my last pregnancy so I'm not surprised to feel it again!

    I can't get enough water and I've been getting up to pee in the middle of the night.

  • Boobs are sore, and have definitely grown.....right more than the left. lol. I hope they'll even out eventually, but it's pretty noticeable right now. I'm going bra shopping this weekend. Cramps, cramps, and more cramps. Feels like AF or upset stomach for the majority of the day. Bloated still as well.

  • I'm very newly pregnant but I have been getting heartburn over and over again. I kept telling myself at first that it's too early for symptoms since nothing happened for me until 6 weeks last time, but boy, heartburn stinks!

    ahaha I loled. I have no idea how to spell it either

  • Symptoms seem to have gone away... still peeing a lot but less nauseous and boobs feel better. I'm bloated too but haven't been eating the best at work.
  • Oh, and me too. Nauseaaouss like crazy. Wake up at least once (usually twice) every night with heartburn. I pee every 5 seconds. I cry at everything. My boobs is sore. My eyes is tired. Brain is devolving... and on that note I'm finally leaving the office!

    If it helps I think the "correct" way to say that is nauseated. I can't remember exactly what the difference is though.

  • @yogahh yeah girl, mine too. It's gonna be rough when the cold weather hits.
  • Bloating - my jean shorts are tighter than normal and I am only between three and four weeks along.
    Fatigue kicked in last  night as did insomnia  - NOT a happy combination
    Constipation 
    Sore boobs
    Super sniffer capability has kicked in.  Walked in the house tonight and was like ewwww what is that smell.  Hubby of course did not smell anything.
    And stuff I usually like tastes weird

    And that was full of grammatical errors but I do not care tonight!

  • Not a whole lot of symptoms yet, but I'm only a little over 4 weeks.

    Right now only increased thirst and lots of peeing. Also, if I don't eat relatively frequently, I feel light headed.

  • So so so much nausea and puking. I'm taking zofran daily and unfortunately the side effect is constipation. So add in bloat and a need to poop....I'm a mess.

  • I'm nauseated and no idea how to work all day, even though I work from home. Nothing sounds good. Water is repulsive. I want to sleep all the time- wake me up in 2 months. My sense of smell is horrid. Boobs are sore. Me and the 1st trimester do not mix. Can I cry now?

    You need to get on some miralax ASAP! I took zofran during my last pregnancy and didn't know about the constipation side effect. Let's just say I went about 2 weeks without pooping and thought I was dying.
