I'm 7 weeks today. All of last week was absolutely horrible. The nausea just beat me down, all day, and I was starting to get really depressed about it. Keeping my stomach from getting empty helped a little bit, but I have such extreme food aversions that finding something to eat that didn't make me gag was really difficult. I finally caved and tried taking 25 mg of B6 with half a tablet of Unisom. I had seen a few ladies on here mention it and had it recommended a few other places as well. Well let me just say, things are much better already. I really suggest any ladies out there struggling with all day nausea give it a try. The only drawback is that Unisom is a sleep aid, so it makes you even sleepier than you already are, but it definitely has taken the edge of my nausea the past couple days! I really hope it keeps working!
@Jparke2 - I've been feeling pretty much exactly how you were. It's gotten to the point where I absolutely dread getting hungry because nothing sounds good, but I constantly feel like I need to eat. It's really wearing me down. I'm tempted to try this out. Do you need a prescription for either of these things or can you just get them at a pharmacy or grocery store?
Nausea. Oversensitive about DD and DH's relationship (she really does love him more). Sleeping allll the time. Sore boobs. Hate being at work. Shorter fuse than normal with everyone. Feeling inadequate as a mother to DD. Hating DH for wanting to move into the new room we were building for my mom (it would put a whole floor between us and the babies! Am I nuts here for not wanting to do that?!). I'm feeling too lazy to breathe.

@Bluejay3030 No prescription needed! I ordered the 25mg Vitamin B6 off of Amazon. I think most B6 pills are a larger dosage, so I would say you should order it if you don't see 25mg at the store. I bought the Unisom at the grocery store! Be sure to get the kind that is Doxylamine succinate. The tablets are 25mg and I cut them in half. Im taking it when I first wake up and am eating breakfast, then again around lunch, then again after dinner. I would recommend doing a quick google search if you are interested!
I do have to say that I did not talk to my doctor about this, however I have seen it widely recommended and it seems that a lot of doctors DO recommend it. I plan on telling my doctor about it next week when I see her.
Not a single ounce of patience for anything. No nausea but I don't have an appetite for anything. Sore boobs, feeling bloated. That's about it, but I'm waiting for the other stuff to hit.
My breasts have been so sore and I've been so tired all week. Right now is the best I've felt in the last month. I took a 2 1/2 hour nap and usually I need more sleep after that but I actually have a small amount of energy.
Dizzy spells. Anyone else? I get several every day and I can't figure out anything that may be specifically causing it. You know, other than the tiny human inside me.
Also, I may have peed 18 times in a six hour period at work this morning.
None of it has been more than I can handle but it's been an interesting combination to work with.
I'm 6 weeks and 5 days, first time being pregnant. So so tired all the time but have a hard time sleeping, crazy sinus congestion when trying to sleep, haven't had any sickness so far although most healthy food I normally would eat seems gross to me. I only want pizza. This past week my tail bone has been really bothering me which I feel is very odd? But the symptom that has been the worst for me.. Constipation! I don't go to the doctor for the first time for another 2 weeks and I'm super anxious about it.
I'm only 4 weeks today but super crampy, especially at night. I've also been waking up to pee around 2-4am and then having a hard time going back to sleep.
I've only had some off and on lower back pain this week. Breast tenderness is all but gone as of today, which is concerning. Haven't had any other symptoms to go off of, and nothing new. Even the fatigue is barely there today
The never ending nausea and the cycle of going from hungry-sick to full-sick is getting really old.
I feel like I have maybe two hours of productivity at work each day and I'm convinced my office mate thinks I've got some kind of binge eating disorder.
The taste in my mouth is disgusting and I am pooping once every 4 days.
7 weeks today. No sore boobs yet. Constant nausea Craving all the carbs. Zero patience for DH leading to a dramatic increase of the F word. Swearing like a truck driver. Crazy dreams that I'm so over having.
Gassy today and horribly nauseous. I actually called in to work from home today bc this is one of the worst days I've had so far. Not throwing up yet (honestly wish I would really).
Also DH is rushing getting a new car. He literally decided we were going to do this Sunday (we've been talking about it, but he got so sure over the weekend) and he said he wants to go in today. We do need the bigger/second car, but we are still disagreeing on some of the things we actually need. So I'm sure this anxiety is not helping the nausea. And he doesn't listen when I tell him that bc it's like a kid getting a new toy.
I'm only 4 weeks 2 days (I think) so nothing terrible yet. Random cramps, random sore boobs. Yesterday I wanted to cry because I didn't have the right cheese for dinner. I manned up and overcame though, haha. My appetite comes and goes. I'm currently working on eating my body weight in Cheez-its.

Does anyone just not feel like themselves? I normally am pretty upbeat and talkative, but recently, I am finding that I am keeping to myself more and more. Maybe its because I am tired? I am not depressed or anything; just feel like my mood has shifted a bit.

Me. I generally feel pretty distracted/introverted lately. I feel like it's maybe bc DH and I are still the only ones who know about the pregnancy. I'm hoping maybe after my first appointment and we start telling people I might get back to my normal self. Although idk it could be fatigue too... I'm working at home today and got to take a nap during lunch time and I seemed to feel a little better.
The symptoms have just started to kick in for me over the last couple of days. I have been super tired and peeing all of the time of course. Also yesterday I had some horrible stomach pain that I think was from gas and bloating. Today I had really bad cramping this morning along with cold sweats/clamminess. No nausea yet and I don't know if I can handle that on top of the stomach pain . I guess I will cross that bridge when/if I come to it.

Yep.. same. I'm not angry or even irritable, just kinda blah. Not really feeling like my usual happy self. I'm thinking it's the fatigue.
I'm only 4w2d so I'm actually eager for symptoms. I know they aren't a reliable sign of a viable pregnancy but they still are comforting somewhat. I am absolutely exhausted though
I'm just really tired of being so constipated. I had a semi-normal bowel movement today and walked out of the bathroom so proud of myself, I asked DH to applaud me. He did.

I haven't pooped in days. Told DH I want this when I finally go
Nausea started this week. Tired, insomnia, haven't pooped in 2 weeks. Hubby just came home with a 6pk of prune juice and a pack of prunes and said we need to get things moving
I'm at the beginning of my 7th week. Besides being exhausted, I have been feeling fine, until this morning. Woke up nauseous and threw up. Then, had to commute into NYC for a workshop and threw up again there. I ended up spilling the beans to my coworker/friend because I had to run out of Starbucks to get to the nearest garbage pail. The coffee smell just was too much for me. I was able to keep down a half of a bagel and have to try to eat some more. I was super thankful for my DH who was able to drive into the city and get me. The idea of riding the subway was NOT appealing at all!
Being that I had a little bit of a concerning start, I am going to try and embrace the symptoms because as my husband pointed out, they are a reminder that I am very much pregnant! lol
I've never been one to get nauseous but for the past week it's been non-stop. I am throwing up in the mornings and the evenings and just feel rotten in between. I have no interest in most foods. I want to continue to eat healthy but the thought of most food turns my stomach and I'm worried about what this means for the baby? I'm eating a lot of plain multi-grain bread and drinking milk. I normally like my veggies but I can't stomach them right now. I'm worried my diet is so bad for the baby at the moment
@yogahh There is only one thing on this planet that will make me poop be it traveler's constipation or anything else. It can't be some variation of it. It has to be the original, old fashion, kind. And I say this as someone who metamucil does not work on. My friend, meet my lethal weapon. I couldn't poop for three days, bought I finally picked some of this up, and I pooped. I pooped two days in a row!
8w2d here and my morning (all day long) sickness started for me at 6w5d. I have not gone 6 hours without throwing up since then, have had to go to get an IV twice for fluids and they gave me a diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum, so that's always fun that's my only symptom so far besides sore & growing boobs.

Yes, this is me. DH and I are fairly social--usually go to a dinner party or brunch with friends at least once a week and meet people out for drinks 1-2 times per week. And I find myself just not up for it.
ETA: 7 weeks today. My Bbs are still heavy and enlarged; I don't like it as they kind of hurt when I work out. Also, with them big like this, I feel fat
Still have a kind of ongoing carsick feeling, although I'm not vomiting or anything.
My one noticeable craving is fruit. I eat a lot of veggies, but generally only eat fruit (blueberries) with my oatmeal. I've been eating watermelon and finding it very satisfying.
Above all, though, I'm just really tired. And I'm having trouble getting things done at work. So much so, that I'm starting to feel disappointed in myself. I can't figure out if the fatigue is part mental and something I can get past, or if it's real and I should just lay down on the couch in my office and fall asleep (which I have admittedly done. Door closed, of course.)
At nearly 8 weeks, my c section scar is beginning to get mildly itchy. I'm assuming that this is probably from increased blood flow and maybe stretching of RL through scar tissue since I've had some of those cramps/tugs. I just didn't really expect this symptom so early. Any other prior surgery mamas getting this yet?
6.5 weeks here. I'm so tired ALL DAY. I try to sleep throughout the night but it seems like I'm always getting up to go to the bathroom.
Anyone else have sore boobs with hard nipples all the time?
My sense of smell is off the charts. Yesterday I threw up attempting to change the garbage, so my sweet hubby turned on the scentsy warmer to try and get rid of the smell, which then make me throw up again.

OK I have a new one that just started last night.
Last night I had 2 slices of pizza for dinner. A few minutes after eating I became SO nauseous and it lasted a while
Now, after eating breakfast, I feel like I wanna hurl.
Guessing MS is kicking in. Just in time for me to take a 3 hour flight on Friday. Fantastic timing, huh!
