Headaches began the other day. Today I noticed that everything smells weird or tastes weird. I've also fallen asleep embarrassingly early almost every day this week (it's a miracle I am still awake at 9pm).
Married to DH for 6 years (together for 16) DS born 12.13.14 DD born 10.15.16 BFP 1.24.18, MC 3.13.18 BFP 4.25.19, EDD 12.31.19
Nausea has started to taper off. Which is nice but also concerns me since I'll only be 7 weeks tomorrow. With DS I had it till week 15. Since I just had a miscarriage on Christmas I'm trying not to assume that's what is happening again. It's hard to stay positive.
I feel like I'm in symptom limbo right now... The boobs have gotten progressively more sore (to the point where I'm now sleeping in a bra) and the acne is even more impressive, but I went to the Dr today (based on LMP I should be 6w2d) and all she could find was a gestational sac with the TV ultrasound. She said I could only be 5 weeks but that doesn't seem too likely to me given my 28 day cycles. I hate Google for simultaneously being a black hole of hope and despair. Intellectually, I know there's nothing I can do except wait for the repeat ultrasound (in TWO FUCKING WEEKS ugh), but I'm just incredibly frustrated right now. I need a doughnut or something.
Nausea, exhaustion, headaches cranky and having crazy dreams. A general, not-feeling-well-at-all feeling pretty much every day. Started at 4 weeks, am 7 now. I'm sleeping as much as possible and drinking ginger ale and peppermint tea.
Sleep has been weird ... I go to bed so early now because of crazy fatigue so I get lots of sleep, but it's not exactly restful because I have such intense, vivid dreams about the strangest things! Also I'm so thirsty all of the time, therefore I have to pee all of the time, including multiple times a night.
I had a brief reprieve from the bloating last week and it was amazing! Unfortunately it's now back and although in the morning the scale is the same, by the end of each day I look 6 months pregnant.
I haven't had what I would think of as morning sickness yet... just a vague, mild, background nausea that lingers around and gets stronger when I'm hungry. Which is about every two hours. Just trying to honor my hunger but eat healthy and stick to regular portions. Also, Gin-Gins hard ginger candies are the best! And so is ginger tea with honey and lemon.
All in all, symptoms are not that bad, and I'm grateful to still be able to do everything I want to do in a day. Hoping this is as bad as it gets, FX!
Nausea and dry heaves are my main Symptoms. I can eat but have that constant going to puke which translates to dry heaves!!! Also have sore big boobs, fatigue, and middle of the night peeing!

I'm 4w+5 so it's still early yet but I've felt nauseous off and on. A few smells have turned my stomach. Been dealing with diarrhea which sucks. This morning my boobs started hurting just a little and I've been a little moody. I get up to pee in the night but that's mainly because my husband's alarm goes off at 130. Ugh!
I'm 6w today! I am having mild cramping and a huge craving for BAGELS!!! No other symptoms yet besides exhaustion. I don't go for an ultrasound for 2 more weeks.
4w+6 today (even though TB and my ticker say 5w, my EDD is 10/22 which is a Saturday). My boobs are killing me and I am eating us out of house and home. I was getting so-hungry-I'm-nauseous but now it's just a constant, dull hunger.
I have headaches that will not go away. It's awful. I feel like I can't do anything.
WORF: I did not come here to
admire the scenery.
DAX: If you say so. I guess we should just go
home.
WORF: Well maybe. I would not be so hasty.
DAX: I take it the scenery has improved?
WORF: A few months ago, when I was commanding
the Defiant on a scouting mission in the Gamma Quadrant, we encountered a
protostar cluster, a swirling mass of colour set against a background of
glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever
seen, until now.
DAX: I've got to take you on vacation more
often.
I'm exhausted. And this how I knew something was up with me because I'm very active and always ready to hit the gym, but now all I want to do is lay down and nap. I have slight cramping here and there, sore boobs, and dizziness and some random nausea... and some mood swings, my poor hubby and niece...I'm just about 5 weeks.
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
I'm only 5W+2D and I'm already nauseous and lightheaded with headaches and insomnia. I've gone up almost a cup size and my boobs look like torpedoes, and they're sensitive as hell so I have to fight to keep H off them. And the peeing every 15 minutes has suddenly started. As much as it sucks it lets me know I'm still pregnant, so there's that. I just ordered some of these preggy pop drops from Amazon though, so thank you for that recommendation!
So these "pregnancy farts?" They are a real thing apparently? Those showed up today. Thank god I was doing a bad wound case and could blame the smell on that.
So fun story, the day before my BFP H was making comments about my awful period farts. I peed on a stick the next day because I was a day late and had a drawer full of Wondfos. I told him I was pregnant by showing him the positive test and saying "Those weren't period farts." ***sew romantik!***
I'm exhausted. If I get home between 5-6pm I almost always fall asleep for about 30 min and it's so hard to make myself get up and try and make dinner. I rotate between wanting to eat everything and not wanting anything multiple times through out the day and my boobs are so sore all the time. The gas pain comes and goes and sometimes it's ridiculously miserable. Thankfully the diarrhea has quit.
I've been mercifully low on symptoms or had very manageable ones until this week. The raging nausea has me feeling like I'm stuck on the boat ride from hell. It's been ginger everything for me lately. I'm tired and have mood swings like a yoyo. My husband is a saint. I'm hoping this is all a very short lived set of symptoms. I have raging heartburn I'm not sure what to do about it. I've tried tums and Zantac with no success. Any suggestions for home remedies that have worked? I go to see the midwives I less than a week so I willask then too, I just need something to get me through the next few days.
6w0d and tired. So TIRED. And cramps so bad I sometimes have to lie down (feels exactly like period cramps). The doctor prescribed me magnesium pills for the cramps yesterday. No noticeable difference thus far but hoping that helps. Also I look like a porn star. Not in a good way. I've always been busty but OMG I am popping out of every bra and shirt I own. I have no idea where to find a bra in size 34-a-million but I am going to look tomorrow
Nausea, gas, fatigue and fainting symptoms so bad that I can't do much besides hang around my bed and make it to the bathroom every now and then, I can't even make it down the stairs to the kitchen most days. I also have weird spots I get in my eyes sometimes and a lack of concentration so bad that my husband and my mom decided it was a good idea if I didn't drive myself anywhere anymore as much as I don't like the decision I almost got into 3 accidents before they made the call so I can't really argue with them.
6w0d I have had constant headaches for the past 4 or 5 days. I had really bad cramps right when I found out but they apparently morphed into just constant headaches. Not migraine status or anything but really annoying. As are the crazy tender boobs. And the nausea that found me today. Mostly, between the headaches and just feeling tired all the time, it's so hard to be motivated to get anything done.
Thanks @br0co1ii I wish I did too. A friend suggested a Tsp of baking soda in 8oz water, and it worked until I was sick for the taste. It would gag a maggot.

I used to use that remedy for UTI's. I'm sure I couldn't stomach it now. Plus, I'd probably prefer an antibiotic at this stage of my life.
Does anyone have breast pain that is more like sharp aching the radiates in the breast without being touched? My boobs are a tad tender but not really sore to the touch and I keep getting these sharp pains that come and go. I'm wondering if it's pregnancy related or something else. I'm sure it's hormonal, just curious if anyone else has experienced it.

@MRSCORKER I've had similar pains. Most often they're just tender to touch but I have had some shooting pains occasionally as well, I think it's just our boobs going through growing pains haha

Thats what I figured. I've had similar pains in the past and even went to the doctor about it a few years ago. She told me to cut back on the caffeine and see if they go away, which they did. Now they're back but with barely any caffeine, that can't be the culprit. Bodies are weird, especially with all of these hormones.

@MRSCORKER and @LGW2015 same here. I feel the stabbing sensation. And sometimes I get the feeling that one or both of my nipples are about to explode. So that's cool.
Most of the time it just feels like someone put really heavy marbles in them though.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with a stabbing feeling. I have to put pressure on my boob when it happens or I go nuts. I don't even care who's watching, I just grab it. Lol.
Speaking of boobs....made the mistake of sleeping on my stomach last night. My boobs were so sore when I woke up! Thank good my pregnancy pillow is here.
I'm mostly just irritable and exhausted, but I've started having a little nausea the past couple days and I've had some cramping on and off today. Nothing unusual, though. I'm 4w5d.
Worst thing when i found out at 5 weeks i had cramps pretty bad. They have gone away for the most part. Now i am finding my boobs are very sore and im having to eat every 3 hours or i feel like i could pass out. Hoping things get a little better soon. Just glad im not puking im 7 weeks and 2 days
@br0co1ii yeah I went to the er the first time it happened and they ran a bunch of tests and told me to schedule an appointment with my doctor, but the closest doctor appointment is always a month out and I haven't been able to call yet to try to make one. Ugh. I don't think it's normal either but they did an ultrasound and said the baby looks fine and I was probably just dehydrated.
6 w, 6 d - So far I've had the sore boobs, a couple of bad headaches, horrible gas pains, constipation, and bloating. Nausea is very mild and comes and goes (mainly when hungry). I'm moody and ADD; totally get the angry chipmunk reference but I feel like a drunk angry chipmunk...constant drunk/hangover feeling. Oh! And the exhaustion! I've either taken a nap or gone to bed before 9 every day.
oh! And the food cravings are taking me on a walk down memory lane. I have teddy Graham's by my bed. Had to stop by McDonald's on the way home from work for a pre-dinner dinner of mcnugets (still ate real dinner later). And this morning, I woke up wanting spaghettios like I've never wanted any other food in my life. Spaghettios! Wtf? I did not give in because 1.) that is nasty and 2.) there is a perfectly good pot of leftover real spaghetti in the fridge, but naturally that doesn't cut a spaghettios craving.
@skyemarie09 another thing might be to go to the eye doctor so they can rule out pregnancy-related optic nerve swelling, if the doctors you saw didn't do that already. Hope you feel better soon!
6w3d Just started progesterone suppositories and the stuff that goes along with that is very unpleasant... Worst symptoms so far, acne!!! Exhausted. Absolute. Exhausted. Peeing all day every day!! Moody. Sore nippies... I've gotten hit with an few waves of nausea. Nothing horrible yet...
6w 1d Some nausea and cramping, but overall I feel pretty good which kind of concerns me. I'm tempted to take another test to make sure I'm still pregnant.

Weird dreams too. Dreamt my baby came out like cereal-box shaped. I still loved him. ❤️

@skyemarie09 Have you mentioned the fainting to your doctor? That seems to be excessive IMHO. They may want to check a few things.
