what is your worst symptom this week?

what is your worst symptom this week and how are you dealing with it?

Im extremely sick and hungry at the same time and can't eat foods with certain textures. It's a curse! I've been blending healthy smoothies it's the only thing I can eat. To make matters worse I have a food adversion to chocolate and all the yummy junk food others are able to take advantage of from time to time. What the heck! Lol

Carpel Tunnel! It's total crap.

I can't believe the acne that has appeared all over my jawline! Add the bloat and I feel like a big unattractive slug this week.

Knottie1450304223 · February 2016

This constant headache:(

Glow360 · February 2016

I get really bad headaches too, they are debilitating

iambrisus · February 2016

Acne and constipation (which hopefully should subside now that I'm done taking Progesterone).

plumeria05 · February 2016

The acne slowly went away and it was replaced with horrible horrible heartburns. The only thing I don't get heartburn from are crackers and white rice.

splsmama2016 · February 2016

Heartburn!!!! Even something so bland as buttered noodles and a piece of toast for dinner last night did me in... I've been up for about 5 hours now because it got so bad

Hulabalu · February 2016

The nausea has really kicked in this week!
Together with being constantly exhausted, I'm having a rough time functioning.

SonyaL9 · February 2016

Wow where do I start... Boobs ouch, even going over a speedbump today I was flinching! Nausea is pretty manageable apart from first thing in a morning before I eat is like being on a rollercoaster!
Heartburn not fun but gas I think is the worst after I've had lunch I can feel it building through the afternoon and so painful at times, keep going to the loo at work to deflate!!

SteffanieM85 · February 2016

6 wks today. Boobs. Ohhhh the poor boobies. Nipples too. Owie.

Queezy off and on, the worst is at night. And so bloated with no desire to eat at all. I feel bloated when I wake up, even when my stomach growls from hunger. And then being hungry makes me even more nauseous. Never ending cycle. Blah.

The constant cramping finally went away, only occasionally now like when I need to pee.

Glow360 · February 2016

Week seven for me is the worst. I'm beyond sick. Haha my boobs are getting better this week but they hurt bad last week.

SonyaL9 · February 2016

Quick question... A lot of the aches and sharp shooting pains I had over wk 5 and early 6 have vanished, it's definitely more the nausea, heartburn stuff now! Is that the same for most once week 7 starts?

amaybragg · February 2016

In week 8 and I am now puking every single thing I eat. It is miserable. I am having a really hard time staying hydrated. I am hoping this only last a few more weeks.

nativetexan512 · February 2016

Scary, quick stabbing pain in my left hip, localized on my back at the butt dimple (lol best description I have). I stopped sleeping on my left side and only sleeping on back or front and this is helping.

veetveet · February 2016

Starving yet Barfy at the same time!

Amykeir · February 2016

Yes! All of these things!! Nausea, heartburn & aching bbs!

SLou24 · February 2016

@nativetexan512 Sounds like SI joint (sacro iliac) pain -- very common in pregnancy as the ligaments in your pelvis relax and everything shifts a bit. Try having your SO do some light pressure point massage right over that spot, also stretching and some glute exercises might help.

MammaJams · February 2016

Week 9 has been by far the worst for me. Nausea is horrible. I've been taking unisom since about 6.5, and it has curbed it a bit, but I'm either getting used to it, or the nausea is just that bad. I'm afraid to think how I would feel if I couldn't take anything. Ugh. And for me it gets bad in the afternoon through night time, so if want to get anything done it has to be in the morning.

nativetexan512 · February 2016

SLou24 thank you for the tips. It's back again today so I will definitely try these.

SonyaL9 · February 2016

Constant back ache, anyone else having this problem? I'm 7 weeks.

purelex · February 2016

Nasty sour taste in my mouth, coupled with lots of nausea and the occasional puking... I am 7+3. I just keep eating jolly ranchers, sour patch kids, gum and saltines...fresh fruit and ice cold water helps, too, but I ran out of fruit this morning and I am not sure I can keep my stomach settled for a trip to the store. Too many smells!

MammaJams · February 2016

Oh yes! The constant, disgusting taste in my mouth. Chewing peppermint gum helps. I never had this with my first pregnancy. This ms is by far the worst.

RDHUNT2014 · February 2016

@SonyaL9 every dang day...however I cannot decide if it is my bed being too soft or a result of the "cherry" growing....I'm only 10 weeks tomorrow...soooo I feel your pain though.

RDHUNT2014 · February 2016

Heartburn, still pretty emotional, bloated which is probably the worst as I feel like a huge barn yard animal, and cannot seem to brush my teeth in the morning, I've succumbed to children's toothpaste. 10 weeks...

kristah2 · February 2016

I'm only 4 weeks ish (just turned a positive) but I have constant cramping. Like kept thinking my period was coming before I took the test. Anyone else? I'm ultra paranoid.

MammaJams · February 2016

It can be tough to tell that early, but I did have lots of cramping in the beginning from about 5-6.5 weeks.

Literally just posted a thread about this, I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and I too have had pretty bad cramps, I've done some googling and I'm figuring out its all totally normal. Just think about it, your uterus is preparing for a human life, and idk about you but I've had these cramps for almost 3 weeks now and I feel if something was going to happen. Or something was wrong, I would have seen some sort of change by now

MRSCORKER · February 2016

@kristah2 Try not to worry, I too had frequent period like cramps like you're describing. I found out at 8 DPO (3+1) and cramped all the way through week 4. Once I hit 5 weeks they subsided some and other symptoms started to show. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and only have the occasional cramp/twinge now.

kristah2 · February 2016

@MammaJams & @babymamamegs & @MRSCORKER thank you all for your reassurance!

gwentycer · February 2016

Nausea is so bad, borderline debilitating. Exhausted. Sleeping around 10-12 hours a day. Heartburn, bloating, gas. Hard to be excited about being pregnant when I'm this miserable. And there's 6 more weeks left of my first trimester. Gonna go cry now.

FallenLeaves1990 · February 2016

Super sore boobs and being super hungry but not wanting anything (if that makes sense). I feel like I'm craving every single food but when I cook it or order it, I can only eat a few bites of it!

babymamamegs · March 2016

I'm terrified of this pregnancy lol. I'm 5 weeks and 3 days today. Nausea is coming along for some short visits, I'm drinking around 2 bottles of water a day but got extremely dehydrated today so I'm going to up it to 5-6. My prenatal vitamins are making me have weird chest problems. I'm slightly constipated, my boobs hurt like a mofo, not really breaking out much more so that's a PLUS. And I'm still really lethargic-feeling. It's going to be so worth it though! 5 days smoke free today as well! :-)

MRSCORKER · March 2016

@babymamamegs Congrats on 5 days smoke free, that's awesome! Keep it up!!

wolleys10 · March 2016

5 weeks-Boobs hurt, I can't even walk down the stairs! Ouch! And my whole body aches like I've got the flu. Between that and the constant nausea, I can't get comfortable. Also, I'm constantly cold, which is odd since I'm generally overheating. When does it end!?

Des321 · March 2016

I'm only 4 weeks but already have that awful metal taste and smell all day long. Got it with my last pregnancy too. I also have been freezing lately, but then I get a hot flash and feel like I'm in a sauna. There's no happy medium!
