Symptoms: Extreme exhaustion! I have literally nodded off 4 times at my desk. Soooooo tired!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I thought having MH put my son to bed would be helpful, but instead I ended up doing all the dishes from the big dinner I cooked (when MH was working evenings, my son and I would just have sandwiches, soup, chicken nuggets...easy stuff with very little clean-up) and then threw in a few loads of laundry and started cleaning the bathrooms and picking up the living room. Before I knew it, it was 10:30pm and I hadn't seen MH at all! Why? Because he had fallen asleep in my son's room while putting him to bed. Super cute, but also VERY frustrating. Then, I woke up to my son in bed with me because we never put up the gate across his doorway! Ooooops! So that *might* explain why I am so frickin tired today...
@LadySamLady I know some will say the 14th but my ob is a believer in the 12 and I'm totally okay with that for obvious reasons even if it just helps mentally! Mind over matter! "First trimester is over time to feel better." We will see:)
My blump is becoming out of control. I haven't really changed my eating, if anything, I'm probably eating less. But lord, is it out there. I may need to invest in some maternity jeans/pants. I know I'm not showing but holycow.
Progress (week/day): 9w0d based on LMP or 7w3d based on baby's measurement at my last appointment
Symptoms: Is it too early to call pregnancy brain? I have forgotten to brush my teeth in the morning twice this week. Gross.
I've been having pretty consistent nausea and fatigue, usually every other day.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Yesterday, my doctor prescribed me a progesterone suppository. This of course has me worried.. Especially since the baby was measuring smaller than I thought it should be at my first appointment (my cycles are never that long). So, has anyone taken progesterone and had a healthy pregnancy?
Also, should I be concerned about baby's small measurement? There was a heartbeat of 121(measuring at 6w4d), and my doctor didn't seem concerned about it.
I guess being concerned won't do much to help.. It's just nerve wracking not knowing what's going on. My next appointment isn't until 11/12.

Don't want to jinx it but the nausea seems to be totally gone and my boobs only hurt sometimes. My biggest symptoms lately are headaches and restless legs - annoying but so much better than nausea. I'm still not pooping much but going to take Colace tonight, I don't have to be a hero.
Feel like crap all day every day! Nausea, vomiting at least once a day, fatigue, bloating, my stomach feels horrible. I just want the first trimester to be over!!!
11w2d...no real symptoms, boobs even stopped hurting so much, which of course has been freaking me out. I have a little pulling and tugging cramps, but other than that, nada!
And now I have an UTI and am losing my mind. So worried about complications. Anyone been through a UTI during pregnancy with some wisdom to share?
Got another US- HB was 168. Baby was so active I couldn't stop giggling! It was like a Mexican jumping bean in there! My husband nicknamed it Juan Paolo and now we're nick naming it JP. Haha. Won't be the real name but we both couldn't stop laughing.
It was crazy to see it actually look like a baby and doing movements like a baby. Last US was at 7wks 3days and basically just looked like a blob .
I was told by both the nurse and my OB that the lessening of symptoms is to be expected about now. Good luck to you!
Also 9 weeks 4 days here, and I feel the exact same way. So so tired, and tons of nausea, heartburn and bloating. The only thing easing my pain was seeing my little gummy bear wiggling around on ultrasound yesterday. Hoping the symptoms become more bearable in the next few weeks!
I am only nine weeks and I feel like I look like I'm 4/5 months! (I'm probably the only one who thinks I look that way) I can't fit any of my clothes. I have been looking everywhere to see if it is just me, or if anyone else is really showing too...I heard after two babies you show sooner...this is my third...and I also noticed all the symptoms have hit me this time. I didn't have much of any nausea, fatigue, cramping, etc symptoms with my first two.
"Morning" sickness or stomach bug?!? 11 weeks 3 days Yesterday I had the worst nausea of my life .. Threw up... A lot. Just heard my dad has the stomach bug and I was just with him the other day. I guess time will tell depending on when it goes away. This morning still nauseous and awful headache. I was feeling better over all until yesterday! Praying it's a bug:( I have diarreah as well which I haven't had once since pregnant.

I have a UTI also. My nurse called me last week to tell me they found it when they were testing my urine. I had no symptoms. Apparently it's very common and nothing to worry about. I'm on antibiotics (pregnancy safe of course) for a week.
9w2d
Had my first actual morning sickness vomit today, that's always fun to report. Having a lot of heartburn and feelings of being unsettled, which I guess is normal being my first pregnancy. I'm with a lot of the other moms here being ravenous some days and completely disgusted by food others. I seem to be having a hard time finding a comfortable way to sleep, trying to train myself already to not sleep on my back, but nothing seems to help. Other than all of this wonderfulness I am looking forward to my 12w ultrasound
I had to get a pregnancy pillow early my first pregnancy...I started using it at 8 weeks on this pregnancy also...good investment!
So 12w1d and all of a sudden I feel like I have to pee all the time?! But then barely anything comes out. Seriously, I thought that was supposed to calm down as second tri approached. Baby must have found a nice comfy spot right on top of my bladder :-w .
@Bluejay3030 I'm going through the exact same thing now! I feel like I can't accurately gauge how full my bladder is because I always feel like I need to go. I don't remember this happening so early last time.
@Bluejay3030 Have you ever had a UTI? We're more prone to them in pregnancy. When I had them all the time-that's exactly what it felt like- constant urge to pee but nothing coming out. I took cranberry supplements and it always cleared it immediately. If you don't think that may be what it is, disregard!
@kmcchs - That thought did cross my mind! I've never had one before, but I was diagnosed with a UTI that ended up being a kidney stone with very similar symptoms at first. I have a dr appointment next week so hopefully if it actually is an infection they'll tell me. Thanks for the info; I didn't know about cranberry supplements!
I've felt "off" all week. On Monday I was so tired I felt hopeless. I wanted to cry. On Tuesday, I was standing in my office talking to a co-worker and I suddenly felt like I was in a tunnel. I couldn't follow what she was saying and I felt super lightheaded. Then I started sweating and had to sit down. I think I almost fainted. On Wednesday I felt repulsed by my dinner. I haven't experienced food aversions yet, so that was weird, too. I just don't feel like myself and work seems VERY daunting. I want to just go home and curl up in bed.
@kmcchs I am 9 weeks and some odd days. For the past 2-3 days I have had practically no symptoms other than constipation and slightly tender boobs. Going from being naseuous ALL day to waking up and being fine is pretty nerve wrecking so know you aren't the only one. Don't be afraid to call your OB for some extra reassurance and possibly try to get an US done sooner. It's their job to take care of you and your baby, if they don't then try and find one that will. Try to stay positive girl!
Symptoms: my taste buds are all over the place worse then my emotions lol breast still real sensitive. Am already feeling fluttering of the baby which is crazy.

I was completely like this, this is my third and I was showing so fast I was shocked I was wearing maternity pants as early as 9 weeks
Possible TMI warning - Finally was intimate with MH this morning...and then immediately threw up on him. Like, directly on him. And all over the bed. Talk about a mood killer. The poor guy's face was a mix of disgust and concern. Thankfully, I didn't have anything in my stomach (which is why I threw up) so it wasn't so bad to clean up. Honestly, the best part of the whole morning was the shower after and having MH wash my back.
Oh no! @laurenmdrn16 You've had some rough morning sickness situations-- thankfully the in sickness and in health vow is for real! ::hugs:: Spouses get to see us at our worst and best.
@kbrands7 I know! It has been one MS horror story after another! This kid is already testing my patience and sense of humor. Some day, I am sure all these crazy vomit stories will be funny...but it is not today! And MH has been so good with everything. Because we are going through all this now, I figure the rest of the pregnancy should be a piece of cake! (Oh, wishful thinking!)
