01/04 - Weekly Symptoms

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · January 2016

Okay ladies, let it rip! How are you feeling this week? What are your symptoms? Any questions for the group?

WineNChocolate · January 2016

Insomnia is my new bed partner. I have indegestion and well my gastric tract is on strike. Its great!!! I keep forgetting only on week 4 and 6-8 weeks with DD brought on nausea. Oh and yes the best, Electric boob. Constant shocks all day but boobs are super flat and not sore. This pregnancy is so different from the last right now.

Question: hmm ah yes what is in everyone's mom baggie for symptoms? I got colace, zantac and regular Tylenol so far..

mom2adoodle · January 2016

-Sore boobs (don't even think of touching them DH)
-Some fatigue but not unbearable
-Pressure/clenching in uterus area (no spotting)
-5 weeks today and feeling elated I've made it this far! I know, it's early blah blah but let me relish in the BFPs every morning!

0SeaMonkey0 · January 2016

My symptoms have almost entirely disappeared! Had to POAS again this morning to convince myself that I'm still pregnant!

The only thing that is still around is the bloat. I wore yoga pants all weekend and my work pants are uncomfortable today. I didn't have this the first time around. Does it usually last all through the whole first trimester until you start to actually show or is it an early weeks thing that will go away sooner?

Last time I had moderate nausea and vomiting. I would bring fresh ginger cut up in a travel mug to work every day and just keep adding more hot water and drinking it. I also found that sweet carbs helped more than salty crackers. I had a package of All-Bran Cranberry Orange cookies in my purse at all times!! It hasn't hit yet but later I will probably have a roll of tums in the pocket of every pair of pants for the heartburn.

estellegetty · January 2016

The worst insomnia which means I'm exhausted all day!

Also some cramping which is not cool. On my way go the doctor for my 2nd beta and hopefully will have some questions answered...

mpijun · January 2016

The slight nausea that just makes you eat all day ! And insomnia ( of course I picked this week to work overnight as well

JennM205 · January 2016

Insomnia here, too. And I'm a grump when I haven't had enough sleep...sorry DD and DH!

I also had some dizzy spells and lightheadedness this morning...hoping that doesn't continue!

@WineNChocolate I, too, am having a completely different experience with this pregnancy than with my last! I mean, everyone says each pregnancy is different but I guess I wasn't prepared for the extent of the differences! With DD, my boobs got huge right away and I'm sad to report that is not the case this time around. Also, I didn't suffer from the insomnia with DD. It's only been 10 days and I'm pretty much over that!

ETA: Because half my post got cut off.

Omg this. I just bought a bag of chips while grocery shopping with dh and had it half eaten, before checking out, and he goes "didn't you JUST almost throw up?!"

Beegey33 · January 2016

The boobs, they are killing me. They are not even that big to be painful. If they are going to feel like they are swollen, they could at least actually swell... just saying.

This dizzy thing is for the birds and never had it with DD.

sareej521 · January 2016

So far so good which is great yet makes me nervous! Sore, swollen boobs and the odd wave of nausea as well as minor fatigue and some heartburn so far but really can't complain

Craving all things salty and savory atm as well which so isn't like me, usually I'm all about the sweets!!

MojieJo · January 2016

I'm having a lot of symptoms although most of them aren't serious enough to really pay attention to. The things I notice most are the sore, swollen boobs, bloating, nausea/reflux (worse at night), dry skin, constipation (prunes and water aren't doing much) and mild cramping.

Also fatigue, extreme hunger (although that seems to be tapering off in the last few days), increased urination and headaches. I've had a couple of bouts of dizziness, too, but nothing to write home about.

And an aversion to sweets (even cranberry juice cocktail is too sweet for me). I tried to eat a mini Twix bar on NYE and almost threw up after one tiny bite.

KarenBeth714 · January 2016

Just the swollen boobs and lots of bloating, with some light to mild cramping throughout the day. Anyone else having cramps? It seems to move around and be very light, different from period cramps.
And this is my first.. so I have no idea what to expect. No food aversions or nausea yet

mrt · January 2016

Sore boobs and bloat. I put on work pants this morning and had to change into something looser because the bloating made them dig into my stomach a little, which made me feel sick, a lot. Maternity clothes may come out sooner than planned!

estellegetty · January 2016

Ought oh the nausea had come. It feels like I'm terribly car sick even though I'm on the couch! WOOF.

mali0902 · January 2016

I feel like my uterus is tight, slight bloating, and boobs seem HUGE! Aside from that, not much else. Thank god I'm not experiencing nausea yet (I am terrified of throwing up...like anxiety inducing terrified). So fingers are crossed!

vanalsts · January 2016

Well, my boobs feel huge, I am visibly bloated, and I have on and off cramping but not period cramps just twinges. I also felt like I was going to lose it on a patient today on the phone as I had this burst of bitchiness overcome me. I gave myself a moment before taking the next call.

hkb1988 · January 2016

Not much yet - a bit of bloat and some cramping. Almost didn't get through work today - probably just because it was my first day since before Christmas but holy tired. Also, had my first ever fast food hamburger the other day. They always disgusted me in the past but suddenly they seemed appealing... not sure what was up with that.

cmiska · January 2016

My nipples are on fire and everything makes me tired but the headaches and nausea I was expecting by now thankfully haven't arrived yet. I'm a grazer and I live to eat so feeling constantly hungry may not actually be a pg symptom but I'm definitely using it as an excuse when it works to my advantage.

StellaStan · January 2016

Horrible heartburn and period like cramps. Also greasy hair has started.

Is greasy hair a thing? I've never heard of that!

MojieJo · January 2016

I don't know, but my hair has been super greasy the last week or so. I was beginning to wonder if it was hormonal.

reesaXden · January 2016

My hair gets a lot greasier when I'm pregnant too!! Sucks!

StellaStan · January 2016

@katetastrophem I think it happens from the horamones. It was one of my clues to take a test.

JennM205 · January 2016

@katetastrophem It can go either way! When I was pregnant with my first, my hair was LESS greasy than usual. I have very fine, thin hair and have never in my life been able to go a day between washes...except when I was pregnant!

AnnaS930 · January 2016

A bit crampy, a bit bloaty (or is that all the doritos and ice cream? I'm a nervous muncher...). Had some nausea/headaches but just getting over strep so hard to say what was what. Hoping this pregnancy has a lot in common with my last - mostly easy peasy!

Yes. How can you be nauseous and hungry at the same time?

I feel like last time my boobs hurt and I was super bloated. This time I'm semi nauseous and tired.

cherylnicole · January 2016

My boobs are so sore!! That along with the bloat...I'm more tired recently too

FireInWonderland · January 2016

The standard:
-cramping/pulling sensations
-HORRIBLE bloating
-gassy
-constipated
-fatigue from 2 pm onward
-constant peeing
-constantly thirsty... For water (unusual for me)

And then insomnia, super greasy hair (which I never connected until JUST now reading this thread), light headedness, and becoming a dog magnet. All the dogs wanna be near me. Also I'm having trouble regulating my temperature. Weird.

Oh I didn't know if you know about tums. My obgyn last pregnancy told me they will cause constipation. This was after I had been popping then like tic tacs and was complaining of horrible constipation. I soon moved on to zantac.

TheTamedShrew · January 2016

The morning sickness has officially arrived this week. Joy. It's still fairly mild, but I'm 6 weeks tomorrow so I know it's just going to gradually get worse. I also feel a little queasy in the evenings around 4/5:00. Starting to have food aversions as of yesterday. I went from craving red meat every day to now just wanting to nibble on chips, nuts, bread, and cereal. If my stomach is empty I feel gross, if my stomach is full I feel gross. Trying to snack all day to keep it at bay. (<----Rhyme Time!)

Skin and lips are super dry, which is probably my body telling me to drink more H2O.

Sore boobs and serious bloat. I can't even suck it in, I swear I already look 12 weeks pregnant.

My symptoms are so identical to last pregnancy that I'm already thinking it's another girl.

JennM205 · January 2016

Anybody else having sinus issues? I keep thinking I'm coming down with a cold - moderately stuffy nose, slightly mucous-y cough in the mornings only, some pressure in one of my ears...but it's not going anywhere. Not getting worse, not getting better. I realized this morning this all started the day before my BFP. So possibly related??

Oh yeah, that was one I forgot to mention, and I had it with DD. I believe your nasal passages can swell during pregnancy. It can cause sinus issues and nose bleeds. I feel stuffy all the time.

mrsE2015 · January 2016

Swollen, tender breasts, super bloated and dry skin and cracked lips. Not sure if the last two are pregnancy related? But are new since I got pregnant.

tigerfish227 · January 2016

So.... I threw up this morning. Yay! *eye roll*

cmiska · January 2016

I'm 5w5d and the nausea rolled in thick this morning. Like @TheTamedShrew said, it's bad when I'm hungry and bad when I'm full but slightly better with grazing. Since there is nothing acceptable about laying on the tile floor in the hallway of my office I'm trying to stay busy enough to ignore it.

2jsmomma · January 2016

Mood swings! Emotional with lots of tears. Feel like a dang lunatic. My poor hubby!
Thirsty.
Body temperture is all over the place. Freezing then over heating (100.1)
Itch attacks
Low back ache & cramps (those seem to be going away)

Third pregnancy but not used to having any symptoms. This will be a new experience hahah

estellegetty · January 2016

@mrsE2015 my skin is sooooo dry and my hair too! I normally have such shines hair that if I'm going out at night I have to wash it twice a day. This morning in the shower I just washed my bangs and it doesn't look like I'm homeless! It's a little softer. WTF?!? My husband says it's just because of the winter, but I don't think so I've never had this before...

Blairbear28 · January 2016

4 weeks 4 days, feeling crampy, tingly nipples, weird taste in my mouth, mild queasy feeling. This is my rainbow after a stillbirth last summer, so also feeling nervous! Find out if this one has the sma gene at 12 weeks.

KarenBeth714 · January 2016

@Blairbear28 wishing you all the best for this rainbow baby..
What's an sma gene? We are waiting on genetic testing at 12 weeks too... (both carriers for pompe)

Anyway- this weekend has been all about mild- moderate sporadic cramps and just a queasy feeling that comes and goes. Feeling bloaty and the boobs are still very swollen. Also have this weird cough that comes on at night with a lumpy throat feeling. It's been going on for almost a week as I've tried many natural remedies, so I think I'll go back to the doc this week.

I can't say I feel good.. but I don't feel terrible. Just getting by day by day and one more week till our first scan and appt.

mpijun · January 2016

Has anyone had lower back muscle pain that goes down your backside and thighs? Not cramping and it feels better when I rub it. I've also helps.
