I know we're just starting our first trimester but I'm curious what symptoms moms have had already.
Every day is a surprise for me. Last night I was woken up by the worst bout of nausea I've ever had in my entire life-my brain was in panic mode. I managed to fall back asleep but now I'm incredibly dizzy.
I've been thirsty lately also. Stuffy nose to where I feel like I can't breathe daily. I've had a healthier appetite as well. Wondering what will be next...
My symptoms have been fairly mild, almost non-existent, until today. Last week I noticed a craving for sour cream & onion chips, which, after 2 bags, turned to disgust (generally speaking I love s&c chips, now the smell makes me ill). I had my first bout of naseau Thanksgiving morning. I was eating a bowl of grits and some milk when it just hit me. Later in the day the smell of the fudge my MIL made for Thanksgiving hit me hard and had me having to leave the room.
+1 here on the thirst and nausea. I also have to pee constantly, which is odd because I'm dying of thirst at the same time.
For the nausea so far I have found some ginger candy that is spicy but does the trick, and also I've started eating a protein snack before bed so I don't wake up nauseous anymore!
Breasts are swollen and sore, thirsty, bad acid reflux, bowel troubles... all sorts of fun. @JenniferMasters no nausea for me yet but my sister had it bad and they sell Ginger pops which she found helpful (they are in the feminine aisle at Target if you have a Target near you). She also kept crackers with her all of the time.
Sore breasts for sure. I also have mild cramping. I don't feel nausous per se, but I do just kinda feel "ehhh" all the kind. I don't feel extra crappy after I eat so my appetite has been garbage!
I am always thirsty and always pee so that's nothing new to me!
Some sore boobs and some mild cramping and lower back pain. The cramping and back pain make me super nervous, as we suffered a mmc over the summer. I'm terrified every time I go to the bathroom. Can first tri be over yet??
I have been more exhausted the normal....I take naps and I was in bed by 9:30 last night. I'm also kinda bloat and sometimes a little dull crampy. Oh and I'm like almost always hungry.
I've honestly been pretty nauseas already. Also have had a weird pain in my lower left abdomen a few times which I hope isn't anything bad. This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what to expect.

Back on BC for a year to decide what we want to do.
Chest pain is still there and now extreme hunger and gas pain lol I have aches on the lower sides of my pelvis which I attribute to round ligaments and my body complaining about adjustments-it's mostly in the morning and evening but stretching and warm showers help
I tested because of extreme fatigue, strange cravings, nipple sensitivity, and nausea. I kept excusing them for random reasons, but they have been there- for sure.
Definitely agreed ioliodio! I thought pregnancy was supposed to make you feel warmer but I'm constantly fighting shivers. I dread going outside and my DH had to buy another space heater lol
Sore and heavy breasts, bloated yet rock hard stomach (instant abs! haha!), and I have been so tired. I literally cannot get enough sleep. I have been so overheated which is a huge change from always being freezing cold.
I have been feeling extremely tired all the time. I have been getting up 2 to 3 times a night to go to the restroom. I usually can not go back to sleep after the first time getting up. So I've been waking up throughout the night and not barely sleeping. Only one morning of sickness soo far. Anyone know what I can do about the sleepless nights and headaches.

Tylenol is safe for pregnancy to help with headaches. I believe Benadryl is also safe which would help you sleep if you were willing to do that.
That's what I'm doing I have the same problem-I wake up after 4 hours and can't get back to sleep. My dr said Benadryl otc is safe. I get random hives so when I have a bad day I take one in the evening and it helps me sleep better too
With my first pregnancy, I had it really easy-- very few symptoms (sore breasts and tired my first trimester, then vicious heartburn). I'm hoping this one will be similar.
Thus far, I've just been really tired and have had a little bit of heartburn. Guess we wait and see what the next few months have to offer!
2 symptoms I hadn't heard of before but that are apparently totally normal lol lots of burping and nosebleeds O.o
Burping is normal. Drink lots of water for the nosebleeds. We have more blood pumping through our veins with baby growing and staying hydrated is really important.
I've been crazy thirsty lately and have been peeing a lot! I had a 3 day bout of naseau last week, thought it was a little bug because I didn't know I was pregnant yet nor did I think I would already be having symptoms.
I have some mild cramping (nothing too bad and luckily no bleeding). I'm hoping that it's nothing to be concerned about. Doc said it was completely normal. Yay!! Won't know more until our U/S in a couple of weeks.
I have been having to pee a lot more frequently, but I'm also downing water a lot more too...so....
The one thing I have noticed is a huge onset of tiredness. I am exhausted!!
Sore breasts and tired. Also some cramping, hoping that's normal. This is my first so I have no idea what to expect.
Cramping in the 1st Tri normal. If you get heavy red bleeding plus cramping that's bad. Your uterus is expanding and preparing to grow with baby that's why you get the cramping.
So far I have been having some mild cramping and little twinges or pulling way down low so I'm just assuming it's from everything starting to stretch and expand. Oh and I can't forget that my boobs feel heavy not necessarily sore. Also I want to eat everything in sight!
I am thirsty and having to pee a lot but that is pretty much the usual for me! Might be a little bit more than usual.
Tender breasts and kind of tired. I have had a couple short moments of nausea usually when I'm hungry, some slight food aversions, moodiness, light cramping/twinges and some spotting.
I kind of can't wait to have more symptoms just for my own reassurance that I am still pregnant! Right now I can't help but keep testing every day just to make sure.

My main symptoms are dizziness and hot flashes mixed with extreme cold spells. I'm so nervous about this first trimester! I can't deal with nausea.
I've been snacking on cheezits every couple of hours, and I think it has helped keep the dizziness from turning into nausea.
