FRIDAY - SYMPTOMS ! Lets rant and ask all the questions here!

HighFive16 · October 2015

I will start.

I feel like total crap all the time and I never realized being SAHM with an 11 month old when you aren't well would be so darn tough.

First day of waking with a crappy headache.

Had a lot of cramping this week but it seems to have died down today

I am WRECKED!

goldie987 · October 2015

I've heard of morning (or all day) sickness that's fixed by eating. I seem to have the opposite, I feel fine when I am hungry, once I eat, I feel really nauseous for 30-40 minutes. If I try to go back to finish the meal, the smell becomes enough to get to me (ie. Spaghetti and meatballs last night for dinner).

Raincity · October 2015

Still sore boobs- but because they're essentially my only tell-tale symptom, I find them comforting! I do not feel pregnant....at all. I've told just two people- my acupuncturist and a random barista (I needed to explain why I was really picky about the coffee I was drinking...I only get a tiny bit and some it tastes terrible, so I want the little bit I get to be enjoyable- anyway, I just ended up telling him!) and both times, I just felt like I was lying, or completely delusional!

I have lots and lots and LOTS of energy, a big appetite, and absolutely zero interest in sweets, which is insane for me! I want to crunch raw celery all day long. I have lower back pain and sort of a crampy feeling some time....but for me, with my chronic disease and lots of back muscle problems, I'm not sure that's pregnancy. Could be.

I fall asleep easier, but wake up constantly throughout the night to pee- although that's nothing new for me. I'm awake about half the night and asleep the other half.

I had gas and mild constipation last week, but not this week. My extreme thirst is gone. The rash I had right after I conceived is gone. Um...shouldn't my symptoms me ramping UP, not down? I took a digital HPT test this week just to reassure myself. I just keep telling myself, "If I wasn't pregnant any more...I'd probably know!"

Okay, apparently I should add "likes to give long winded description of symptoms" to my symptom list!

ttcours2015 · October 2015

I am 5 weeks today and I have no symptoms at all yet. I mean, my boobs are heavier but they are normally huge anyway so this isn't much to complain about. I want to feel pregnant already!!!

aloha5736 · October 2015

6w5d nausea nausea nausea nothing else. I've been learning what to eat and that seems to do the trick.

I don't feel pregnant until I eat something and then the nausea hits and I'm like, oh yeah, that's right. I'm 5 weeks today and have been taking a wondfo every morning to make sure the little bugger is still in there because I just don't feel it yet.

cmillar36 · October 2015

6 weeks2 days. Feeling like crap on and off for a few days now. Lightheadedness, nausea and dry heaving.

izzyp25 · October 2015

8 weeks 3 days and I started having terrible sciatic nerve pain. I didn't know this could start this early but my OB said it was common. Hurts to bad to bend or move! I think this is my pay back for not having morning sickness.

Oh my goodness. I suffer from sciatica and it is horrible. Hope it doesn't last all the way through for you. I am so sorry.

rzbinden · October 2015

7w3d and I feel awful!!! I really don't remember feeling this horrible during the first trimester. I was one of those girls that loved pregnancy and didn't understand why some women hated being pregnant. But now I feel sick 24-7 and nothing helps it. Im also so bloated and can hardly fit in my pants

. I workout 5-6 days a week and my diet has been off because of this terrible nausea. I just really hope it goes away soon so I can enjoy pregnancy and being with my little nugget 24-7.

HighFive16 · October 2015

@rzbinden I agree, I feel like I am getting payback this time for my last pregnancy. I don't feel so smug now I tell ya!

cjt121413 · October 2015

The boob soreness continues. Some nausea this morning. Crazy dreams! Fatigue. I'm ready for a nap now, actually.

Kballew10 · October 2015

Just sore boobs so far... that are getting bigger by the day! DH doesn't mind, but they just hurt!

jsl82 · October 2015

Main symptom so far is tender boobs- but like TTCours2015 said mine started big- so it's not a significant change. I am started to get waves of nausea- which im taking as a warning for what's to come. I am only 4w2d and with my last pregnancy my morning sickness was pretty bad by w5d3... so I hopefully have about a week left to enjoy eating. I am very bloated today- but these pants could also just be a little tight- it's been a while since i've worn them.

sorarose · October 2015

5w6d-MS sucks and all food is terrible, except bagels. When I dry heave, my head also begins to hurts more. I'm exhausted from waking up to pee at night, work, and watching DS. I am about to put him down for a nap, so I can take a nap before having to go do work.

I also crave things I literally can't have. To top this list, I want pasta salad from a market that's out of state. NOTHING ELSE WILL DO!

tinypikachu · October 2015

I am four weeks today (coming back and forth from June and July as I am due July 1). I've only felt a little bit of nausea; have been having a lot of cramps for about a week, since before we found out. My cramps aren't terrible but they are annoying (and worry me!) And tend to get a little worse at night, especially if I've been busy moving around during the day. No headaches today (yet!) And super sore boobs.

theatremandy · October 2015

I have the boobs of a porn star, but sorry DH, you can't touch them. And I just want to sleep all day.

AmberLiz99 · October 2015

I went on a 2 1/2 mile walk with my kis today, and this afternoon every time I stand up the blood rushes from my head and I almost black out. I've had to sit back down a few times I avoid fainting. I've been drinking water and I had some protein, what else can I do to help this go away?

goldie987 · October 2015

@AlwaysAuntAlmostMom I said the same thing with the cramps until they went away. They were my little reminder that something was at least going on and, oddly, I miss them.

@AmberLiz99 I get the almost pass out when I stand too. I've upped my water intake and have still been getting it. It's a blood pressure thing called orthostatic hypotension and other than slowly easing yourself up, there isn't much to do really. Your blood volume is rapidly increasing causing a dip in pressure, your blood has a harder time going up when you rapidly change positions, you get dizzy.

splsmama2016 · October 2015

Like most of you ladies, I have sore boobs, constantly tired, and on top of that, I'm so backed up I'm not even hungry (for the first time in the last 7 weeks..... haha). I forced myself to go to the gym this morning and that seemed to help a bit. I've had VERY little nausea, and the baby pukes only twice (but I'm certain one of those cases was due to the DH's nasty gas from eating about 6 bratwurst and 4 beers at OktoberFest), so I'm hoping that I stay this way for the next 32ish weeks!

peregrinefalconx · October 2015

Exhausted
Starving, then eat, then nauseous and then heartburn.
My usual whole foods diet is out the window--can't even stomach the food that I forced myself to make after I peeled myself off of the couch--have thrown more food away in the last few weeks than in a year! I try and drink tea so I won't be hungry, but I've drank so much that it makes me sick too! Anybody have thoughts? Apple cider vinegar pills do work sometimes.
Crampy.
Been on meds for so long that my sore boobs are old hat.

I don't mean to complain. Saw our little autumn baby for the first time today! 7w3d. HB 143! EDD 6/8! Praying I get to stay here!

ella26 · October 2015

Like most of you I am so stinkin tired, my boobs are HUGE and hurt (please don't grow anymore), I am grumpy, I have to pee ALL THE TIME, I have intermittent cramps, I smell everything. All in all it's not too bad yet, I have a feeling MS is on it's way.

But honestly none of this matters and I won't complain a bit (except here and to DH) if this little nugget sticks.....please stick!

VikingGirl12 · October 2015

I have gross symptoms. Had lots of bleeding yesterday but US showed baby is ok. But they couldn't swab me because there was too much KY jelly from the us so now I have to go back next week to find out if I have an infection. Now after asking dr Google im super freaked out that I have a UTI with less symptoms and it will be too late to treat it by the time I get back to the dr next week!!! And that leads to preterm labor among other things! Ahhhhh!

What are your symptoms that make you think it's a UTI?

emucoleman · October 2015

Ok, I don't want to be THAT person, but I am thanking my lucky stars that my symptoms are so mild this pregnancy! I had pretty bad MS last time and this time I don't even notice it that much. So far no constipation, sore boobs, or bloat. Even my fatigue isn't as bad as it was last week.

I hope you don't all hate me now.

****TMI****
So yesterday I had bleeding followed by greenish colored discharge.. But idk if that's from left over blood. Also, so much itching. Urine doesn't smell bad and neither does discharge. Urine is a good color. However, I didn't know I had a uti with DS and did.
I had my full blood count (4 viles) and STD tests and everything 2 weeks ago and everything came back good. I guess white blood cell would be off I had an infection then? And they had me pee on that little thing that shows protein and bacteria before my US and it all came back good yesterday.
It's more likely a normal vaginal infection, but Google scared me! And the dr can't do anything until next week when the jelly is all out of me.

This ended up being more of a long winded rant.

sorarose · October 2015

@VikingGirl12- If it were a UTI, you likely wouldn't be so itchy. Also, when KU, you can have some WBC or proteins in your urine, which is completely normal. Sounds like yeast or BV, so waiting a little longer won't do any damage, although sounds super uncomfortable. :-(

VikingGirl12 · October 2015

@sorarose you have given me the comfort I needed to get through the weekend

Mr0616 · October 2015

I am extremely exhausted. I suffered from low energy before pregnancy (and doctors could never figure out why) so now I am just a walking zombie. What is this work thing? I'll just sit here in my chair.

berky84 · October 2015

Continuing to have ALL the symptoms except my nausea for the last day and a half has been slightly better. So tired though. I feel like this at work today...

DeePaddy24 · October 2015

The exhaustion & bloat are kicking my ass today. My jeans...even with the hair tie trick...were so uncomfortable today. I just bought them a few weeks ago, so it's a bit sad that they're already this tight.

I was pretty nauseas this morning & didn't think I could stomach breakfast, but I forced myself to eat a piece of toast with PB & banana, & it was delicious. I think it will be my new go-to for the next little while.

hillanne87 · October 2015

I'm super exhausted and so bloated too! Already rocking the maternity jeans because my pants are so uncomfortable. Thinking about any kind of food or drink makes me nauseous. I haven't been craving anything and finding things to eat that are tolerable is getting harder. This seems much worse than last time! On a brighter note, I get to see this little nugget for the first time on Wednesday!

lm45678 · October 2015

5w6d

My body's are heavy as hell and sore, and I'm exhausted. I'm happy with no MS yet but agree with some of the PP that I want to "feel more pregnant".

First OB appointment is Monday, I think if we can hear the heartbeat it will make this all real!

lbridges27 · October 2015

I'm 6w4d and the only real symptoms I've had the entire pregnancy is sore & swollen boobs and fatigue. I sort of wish I had some morning sickness or something more telling (I know I shouldn't be wishing for that) but, I'm not scheduled for my 1st US until Nov. 11th, so not having many symptoms kinda stresses me out. I took 3 HPTs when I found out I was preg, but I'm tempted to go take another this weekend, just to reassure myself.

OMG! I am SAHM of a 10 mo and I feel your pain! I've been vomiting for the last couple of days and can't take the meds til night time bc they knock me out! Then hubs complains the house is a mess!!

missbianca84 · October 2015

Bloated! I have that "blump" thing happening. The smell of garbage is extra disgusting too. If I eat even a bite more than I should, I feel like I want to puke. ...and omg I'm such a sluggish bum! Of course its all totally worth it!

Me too! It HAS to be bloat!!!!! A few days shy of 5 weeks

crdo · October 2015

I'm only 4wks, so I can't tell if this bloat is the progesterone or my dinner/lunch burrito.

Nothing else except faint cramp-like pelvic sensations.

adiaz132003 · October 2015

7w6d and I feel like death!!! Heaving all day long. Midwife officially said I have hyperemesis gravidarum. I had to leave my job and I can't drive. Totally sucks!!!

joyelizabeth80 · October 2015

8 weeks today and I feel like I've only had symptoms for the last week. Exhausted, but I have a hard time getting comfortable or staying asleep. Sore boobs (very sore). Bloated to the point of not fitting into my jeans. And ready to puke the second my stomach feels at all empty. But I agree - if this baby stays on board I'll take all of it!

joyelizabeth80 · October 2015

Yes, garbage makes me sick too! Almost threw up in the flower bed taking the garbage out last night. That's DH's job now!!!
