kristah2 · February 2016

maybe we can discuss what we're experiencing?

im currently having ALL the cramps. Just like I get during my period but it's like just constant. So weird.
Anyone else?

ShallowSeas · February 2016

@kristah2 I'm with you on the cramps! My stomach is so bloated it hurts, which I think is causing the cramps. I also have no appetite. I'll be hungry and make something to eat, and then about half way through I decide its disgusting and want nothing to do with it. I haven't been able to finish a meal in 3 days $:\$

evilgreencows5 · February 2016

Mostly bloating right now and having to pee a lot! Ive been craving general foods right now but that could just be me being hungry lol

beforeyou · February 2016

Bloating, cramping... But not constant. It comes and goes and I'd almost describe it more as like pinching kinda. I feel dizzy/nauseous in the morning like from 8:30 to 11. Super sore boobs. Also really tired but that might be because I stopped drinking caffeine. I'm kinda feeling the same way about food @ShallowSeas but only certain foods at certain times. Like my Greek yogurt at lunch and my juice this morning which is weird for me, but I'm always hungry and really really thirsty.

ShallowSeas · February 2016

@peachykeen17 I'm experiencing a lot of the same things you are. My cramping almost feels like a pinch at times. Its different than period cramps, and I've been so hungry and thirsty for a week now.

hellopartyof5 · February 2016

I've been really thirsty and peeing a lot as well. This morning my boobs are feeling fuller and I've just been more tired. That's really it so far.

doraleigh35 · February 2016

I pretty much have all of the same symptoms as @nauticallife, plus some dull cramping.

hippiegirl884 · February 2016

Bloating, cramping on and off, extreme fatigue (though I'm a teacher and have a 3&4yo lo's lol) Some on and off breast tenderness and occasionally I'll get light headed and nauseous.

talkthewholetime · February 2016

My boobs hurt, the "I can feel my uterus" feeling (it doesn't hurt, but I'm aware of it, is the best way to describe it) and I coughed and felt my first RLP today. I'm tired....but I spend my life tired, I teach, have a 1.5 year old and a husband who works every minute of his life, haha.

sweetlyuntied · February 2016

I'm already getting some of the first tri fatigue. The worrrrst. Also pregnancy farts are no joke.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · February 2016

At this point, nada. I don't expect I'll start experiencing any real symptoms until 6-ish weeks. I was a touch nauseated today but I think that had more to do with the catered lunch than hormones.

kellymarie68 · February 2016

The gas I have is unbelievable! I do not remember this with my first. My poor, poor DH.

cheller134 · February 2016

I'm bloated and have tender bewbies... That's it for now! 8 months to go! We got this lol!!!

Orlaa · February 2016

I've also felt that pinching in my uterus but apart from that nothing. I almost wish I had more symptoms, though I imagine I might regret thinking that in a few weeks time. I did have a weird headache for a couple of days - it felt like dull achy pressure right on the top of my head.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · February 2016

I rescind my earlier post. Nausea is in full effect today. Might just be psychosomatic but I never have morning sickness so I don't really expect it so I can't help but think it's an actual symptom.

kns1988 · February 2016

Hey all! Just got my BFP today. I've been super bloated this week, skin is oily and breaking out, and I've been really hungry. All signs that AF was coming, but I got good news instead!

Gibbs7911 · February 2016

Just fatigue and very hungry at this point for me. With DS I was crampy when I didn't get enough water, so I'm upping my water intake right now to prevent that.

evilgreencows5 · February 2016

The fatigue is real! I don't remember being this tired so early on with my other two but then again, I didn't have two kiddos running around all day either.

kristah2 · February 2016

I currently can not get enough water. I'm thirsty ALL the time. Which also leads to having to pee every 20 minutes.
I also need all the food. I get it an can only eat like half before my stomach turns. I'm not getting sick or anything just feel sort of.. Done.

bellafirenze · February 2016

So far the crazy achy boobs is what led me to test early, subsiding in intensity now but still tender.

Cramps- not quite period cramps, and not real painful or constant. I do have a pretty constant pressure in my lower abdomen though.

Mild nausea. No vomiting, but waves of queasiness a few times a day.

Lots of gas (joy!)

*eta- 2 more new ones- feeling a bit um, damper than usual down there- keep thinking my period's started.

also, HOT flashes. Like, "I'm so hot I'm going to puke" all the sudden.

mamahazey · February 2016

Lots of burping for the past few days. I've been so thirsty, mild nausea and my boobs are tender.

UTAmbs11 · February 2016

The cramps come and go, but usually there in the background. I can't believe I'm this tired, too.

beforeyou · February 2016

did any of you have bad back pains when you were on your period? I had mostly back pains instead of cramps and occasionally now I'll feel that same pain only way less intense and it doesn't last very long. Just curious if anyone else has that.

if you don't have a dog, get one STAT. I passed the blame last night

KS070508 · February 2016

Bloating- check
ouchie bewbies- check
cramps- check
waves of nausea- check
RLP- check

i forgot about all of this!

hellopartyof5 · February 2016

I had such bad morning sickness last time and haven't had any yet. I'm really hoping that means this pregnancy will be easier Lolol. *knocks on wood*. Then again, last time I had twins, so maybe that's it? And it's also really early so this will probably bite me in the ass.

kristah2 · February 2016

Think it's weird I don't have sore boobs yet? (I'm so paranoid). My nipples are ultra sensitive but no pain or tenderness.

This is my third pregnancy and my boobs only got sore at the end. I wouldn't worry too much.

Ugh I'm so paranoid too. I have been googling and bump searching all the things. So far I've found that nothing is normal when it comes to pregnancy symptoms. Hang in there, try not to stress too much! (I know, easier said than done)

Mine aren't either! I was just thinking that while reading these posts!

KS070508 · February 2016

I'm with you. The nausea last time was brutal. Really hoping for a pass this time @nauticallife

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · February 2016

For what it's worth, this is my eleventh pregnancy (hopefully will be my third term pregnancy) and the early weeks were different with each one of them and there were no symptoms that told me how the pregnancy would go for sure either way. As hard as it is, try not to let the symptoms or lack thereof send you into anxiety. My pregnancy with my son I had literally no symptoms until 7 weeks and then I was just tired for a few weeks, but I was also quite anaemic so it may not have even been related to the pregnancy. My pregnancy with my daughter, I was floored with exhaustion and my boobs were so painful it was insane. This time around, I'm experiencing what seems to be morning sickness. Early pregnancy symptoms are highly variable woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy so please don't drive yourselves mad trying to interpret them.

jarethinafrock · February 2016

Nothing really yet.

Had a few cramps this morning and so I thought AF was starting up. I also have been a little more sleepy than usual. My boobs are a bit sore, but I am BFing my 18 month old so I am sure that is why.

Knottie1439239560 · February 2016

I've had cramps for the most part. Nothing too intense, but definitely similar to AF. I've noticed RLP when I laugh too hard, or sneeze. The sore boobs has been very minimal. Just kind of randomly here and there. I'm definitely getting more headaches than usual too.

As for food, I seem to be the opposite. I don't feel like eating, but then once I eat I eat a LOT more than normal. And ketchup gives me wicked heartburn apparently.

OH and gas for sure. Both ends lol. Thankfully I don't think the boyfriend has really noticed too much haha.

whaat · February 2016

I'm very crampy, maybe because I haven't pooped since 2 days before finding out. I have IBS so that's not unusual for me, but now I'm hyper aware of it. I also am very thirsty and peeing a lot. Not a full pee each time, though. I also think I'm just hyper aware of what's in my bladder. It's almost like having a UTI without the sharp pain. This is my first so I don't know what to expect, but I would say I don't feel as "pregnant" (whatever that means) as I thought I would. I know that will happen soon enough! In the meantime, I'm keeping my pee stick on my bathroom counter to remind myself it's real.

FallenLeaves1990 · February 2016

Cramping here too! I also have trouble sitting comfortably like my stomach can't relax. Also my boobs. So much ouch.

This!! There are times when I feel like my stomach can't relax. Its a weird feeling; glad I'm not the only one.

Ash9614 · February 2016

I had some very light cramping over the weekend, which I'd seen was an early sign of pregnancy, but it's also a sign of AF, so I was talking myself out of it being anything but impending AF.

I've been a little emotional - angry Saturday night and a little weepy in church yesterday (it was children's Sunday and they were so cute!).

Also, hungry. I've been counting calories and exercising all year, so a bit of a hungry feeling isn't unusual (I promise this is a healthy routine - I'm getting 1400 cals a day and lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks). But the last few days the hunger has been more intense, so I'll probably add an extra healthy snack to my routine.

I was just thinking about this earlier! I've been drinking a ton but every time I go to the bathroom it's only a little! Glad I'm not the only one!

ElleBell13 · February 2016

I was really crampy over the weekend, so much so to the point where it kept me up Saturday night. Cramps lessened yesterday and not much at all today. My boobs are really tender and have been for about a week now. I am thirsty all of the time and just now noticing that I need to go to the bathroom more frequently. I don't have much of an appetite which is strange... I am always hungry! The worst so far is a congested and runny nose. Not sure if the nose issue is pregnancy, allergies, or a cold.

KS070508 · February 2016

Can I whine? Because this afternoon ALL THE CRAMPS!
