**Everything Symptoms Goes Here (10/5-10/11)**

If you want to talk/ask about any symptom or non-symptom please use this weekly thread to do so. Do not post new threads as we are trying to keep the board organized. Feel free to use the format to talk about your symptoms (you don't have to, you can just make it more of a discussion). If you have a specific question put some sort of question trigger at the top so people don't skip over it. I'm not going to put a GTKY on this, That way the tread can be focused on symptoms. Im sure there will be plenty.

Re: **Everything Symptoms Goes Here (10/5-10/11)**
NASEAU:
And the naseau is horrible! I wake up I'm ok but as soon as I start getting dressed and moving, watch out cause the naseau sets in. I have always tried to avoid vomiting even before I was pregnant! But sometimes the naseau is so crazy that you just can't fight it and you end up vomiting! I am an angry vomitter as well, like demons are coming out, so you can imagine the fathers reaction at 7am when it sounds like the world is ending in our bathroom! Lol! This naseau lasts normally until 2p-3pm most days and comes back around late dinner time. Lovely, right?!
BACKACHE:
When sleeping it's nearly impossible to find a comfortable position. Each side is uncomfortable, stomach is uncomfortable and back is ok but you're not supposed to sleep on your back.... I pretty much can't win!
FOOD IS NOW MY FRENEMY!:
You need food so you can get over some naseau, and sometimes this works, other times it's vomit city! And the hard part is you really don't know what you can stomach until you can't stomach it and it comes right back up. This trial and error with food, is for the birds!
BLOATING and CONSTIPATION:
Oh the bloating! Ughhh! Talk about feeling huge already even though the baby's only the size of a green olive! That's all the bloating! Pooping is like an Olympic event at this point, and you're happy when a few nuggets finally release, which are pathetic. (Sorry, TMI, but it's True!) I have an irrational fear that pushing too hard will somehow make me push out the baby ( highly, highly unlikely and unprobable) but I'm pregnant so I rationalize irrational thoughts all day!!
Those are my biggest and most annoying symptoms. But there's also the symptom of Worrying constantly! This one is a biggie and I haven't found a cure for!!!! Also weird dreams are true! And definitely mood swings!!
Hope I hear from others who are experiencing some of the same symptoms!
Progress (week/day): 5w6d
Anything Symptoms: nausea is just starting. It's very minor and only comes once in a while. I really hope it doesn't get worse, but I'm sure it will. Bloating is my other big one, I hate it. I've actually lost a few lbs but I look way bigger because of the bloat. I'm ok with looking bigger if it's lil noodle but it's not right now.
Rants/Raves/Questions: none right now.

TTC#2 April 2019Anything symptoms: Up until this point I haven't had any nausea, but I'm definitely nauseous this morning. It isn't too bad yet though. The bloating and constipation are super annoying and it makes me feel like I'm gaining too much weight too soon. DH told me he is going to throw the scale out this morning because I'm constantly worried about it. I have been having occasional cramping as well (about every other day) which is similar to my worst period cramping. Other than that I have just been extremely tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Of course nausea sets in for me this morning when I'm about to have three straight days of meetings at work to kick off a huge project. I'm praying I can make it through. This Friday morning I'm flying across the country for a girls weekend with two of my best college friends and I should be super excited, but I'm just so tired. I just can't wait to get through this week.
Progress (week/day): 7 wks 0 days
Anything Symptoms: nausea, bloating, cramping, stuffy nose, sleep issues
Rants/Raves/Questions: I cannot seem to sleep through the night at all! It's horrible! The smallest things wake me, I toss and turn almost twice hourly, and I can't seem to regulate my temp at night. Once DH leaves for work it's easier, maybe because I'm not worried about waking him. Does anyone else have this issue? Any advice? I'm exhausted all day because of it and I don't have the energy to do anything.

@pibsammyk21 @Charla1224 - ask your doc for zofran. It's what is generally prescribed for pregnant women to help with nausea. They gave me some my first pregnancy and I got a prescription this time around to help me fly because my nausea is severely exacerbated by traveling.
Symptoms: no MS to speak of, but some afternoons I seem to hit a wall and feel kind of carsick. My back and butt hurt, almost like I pinched a nerve.
Rant: I have the skin of a pubescent teenager. Pimples everywhere. DD was poking them yesterday.

Last night was my second night of heartburn, bad enough that I had to take zantac for it. Blech. I slept all night on the couch so that I could stay propped up and not have to lie down at all since that usually helps (I've had chronic heartburn in the past, but not for several years). Other than that, rolling waves of nausea and on again off again indigestion after eating. Extremely tired by the end of the day!
Rant: I honestly don't know what gave me heartburn yesterday... most of what I had was tea. If tea gave me heartburn, I don't know what to think.

TTC#2 April 2019Anything Symptoms: Nausea! Ugh. Unless I eat consistently throughout the day and only small meals I constantly feel nauseous. I told DH this morning I loved sleep and wished I could sleep all the time bc it's really the only time I don't feel nauseous. And aversions galore! Especially in terms of texture. If something is chunky in the slightest (i.e. Oatmeal) then I gag and then I end up feeling worse. I'm starting to run out of breakfast foods. Constipation... Yesterday I finally went after like 3 days and it was amazing. And heartburn. I seriously feel like the only things I want are spicy or acidic so that doesn't help. I need to buy stock in Tums.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Nausea needs to kick it now. I love sleep - daily naps are now my absolute best friend. My dad reacted much differently than I expected him to when I told him this weekend... Not in a bad way, but he was very emotional and started crying, which in turn obviously made me cry. It puts a smile on my face now thinking about it.
Symptoms: Big fat goose egg... I was dealing with some sore boobs and tiredness, but over the weekend this seemed to all go away. I haven't felt any nausea. Some smell aversions but nothing that I can't manage. Bloat has gone away. Just feeling very not pregnant and losing hope but trying to not obsess... Anyone else?
Rants/raves/questions: I know others say it can be normal for symptoms to go away, but curious if others have felt this way their entire pregnancy? (I've had 3 ultrasounds and all have gone great and heartbeat is amazing. Just feeling like maybe I ate something that could've caused me to miscarry/lose symptoms?? No bleeding. Not sure if I did eat something I wasn't supposed to if I would most likely feel those symptoms of being sick??).
Symptoms: fatigue is hitting me the hardest! It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get, I still feel so tired. This morning I had to keep excusing myself from the OR room I was working in to go pace the halls because I swear I was going to pass out on my stool. Also in the middle of my first case this morning I had my first real case of nausea that ending in running out of the room and dry heaving in the trash can... joy
Rant/rave/question: so the past few days my stomach has just been feeling weird, but quite nauseas but like the feeling you get when your over coming a stomach bug... your appetite is starting to come back, but food still doesn't sound very good. Maybe that's why all I want to eat is soup, cheese and crackers, and Apple sauce..
I haven't been to the hospital for an IV because I am usually able to keep down one meal a day. I've figured that was good enough but this is depressing. I never imagined morning sickness to have such an emotional pull.
Ugh! I just want to crawl into bed and pray that this all subsides week 12.

Sleep issues, minor cramping, exhaustion
From everything I've read, this is all normal but man is it obnoxious! As a middle school teacher, sleep is a necessity... I wake up multiple times a night, can't get comfortable, and now I actually have to pee during the night.
Has anyone else experienced this minor cramping that comes and goes periodically? I've read that it's normal, but I'm still nervous.
Hello all day sickness and that gross smell that makes me want to throw up all day. Fresh air is great! I have an almost nine month old and have to admit I definitely did not miss this part of her pregnancy either.

I had issues with my sciatic nerve with DD much later in my pregnancy, probably third trimester. I've always heard it happens when baby is big enough to rest on a nerve. However for the past week or so I've had shooting lower back/right butt cheek pain. It shouldn't be sciatic nerve issues this early, right? Has anyone else felt this yet?

Stomach cramps and diarrhea. For like two weeks straight. Last time I couldn't eat and was constipated. I can eat... I just don't want to because several times a day I get such bad gas and stomach cramps it feels not worth it.
I'm weirded out. Last pregnancy the first trimester sucked so bad. Now it's almost painless (previous symptoms aside) that I almost want to go pee on a stick just to make sure. Which is crazy.
I had some blood this morning so I've made an appointment with the GP tomorrow to still my mind!
I'm 8/9 weeks, first appointment with the midwife is Friday woop!!
