Re: Symptom Check-In 4/4
Symptoms: Bloated, gassy, constipated, nausea, fatigue, fast hair growth, only able to eat many small meals, most food doesn't sound good.
Rants/Raves/Questions: All of my symptoms have been pretty mild for the most part. Today I actually feel pretty good and haven't really had any nausea yet. It's a nice break, but it scares the crap out of me that something could be wrong. I'm sure its just my PGAL brain just over-analyzing.

TTC#2 April 2019Symptoms: Really tired even though I get a ton of sleep, sore boobs, bloated (ugh), gassy, and very small waves of nausea, not much though.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I am thankful that I don't have much nausea, but I am worried because my symptoms are so mild. Anyone else have pretty mild symptoms at this point??
Symptoms- ive been really sick, i havent eatten in days, everytome i go to eat i get sick. And im not really hungry. But sometimes im starving but nothing sounds good then i get sick just thinking about food.
Im really worried, i talked to my doctor and she told me 2 just focus on liquids, but thats not really helping my problem.
Symptoms: Fatigue, Sore Breasts, Bloated, Gassy, Mild Nausea
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had more nausea last week, even though it says that the 6th week is when most people feel more nausea... I am in desperate need of bigger bras for comfort (they hurt). I am always so tired making it hard for me to focus. My sister has been my go to gal for info and speaking with her is helping me adjust. I am so happy to finally be here that I will take it as it comes.
I just can't wait to meet with the OB in a couple weeks to feel at ease that I am doing all the right things.

#2 EDD: 11/15/2017
symptoms: just very tired and very nauseous.
I am getting more and more nauseous. I started reading this week's GTKY thread and almost lost my cookies just reading about food. I'd love to get to know everyone, but I'll have to wait until a new question comes next week!
dizziness is my latest symptom. Really the most pronounced next to food. It hit today as I was driving of course. I feel very dangerous.
Symptoms: All day morning sickness. Aversion to just about everything. Huge appetite, but nothing sounds good to eat. slight cramping due to bowel irregularity. Bloating. MAJOR fatigue.
Rants/Raves: Every pregnancy is different and this is no exception. My nausea is more pronounced than before. And more constant. No throwing up...yet...
DD: 8/20/14; DS: 11/13/16; DD: 5/3/19; DD: 8/31/21; Baby #5 (team green) due 3/24/24
Symptoms: SUPER sore boobs ( like I could cry) nausea, food aversion, stuffy nose, bloat
Rants/Raves/Questions: had to go buy new confy bras because the boobs hurt so bad. And i have to sleep in my bra now
The nausea is intense here, yet no barfing. I'm constantly hungry but food only makes things worse.
i feel like a real Debbie downer and I am pretty sure H is sick of my pathetic state. This was his idea and he did it to me, so he can shut up and drive down to Jack-in-Box to get me some curly fries.
Nausea and vomiting which sucks but was worse last pregnancy. Super tired so chasing my toddler around has been tough. Nipples have been super sore which doesn't go well with nursing DD. I cry sometimes. and this GORRAM heartburn is killing me!

BFP #2 3/13/2016
Progress (week/day): 8+5
Symptoms: All day morning sickness, pure exhaustion, major food aversions, my neck/shoulders are killing me, it's allergy season! Which is killing me, because Sudafed is the only thing that helps me and I can't take it
Rants/Raves/Questions: New symptom this week...can't take pills without gagging on them. Every morning I take my prenatals and progesterone, sure the PNVs are horse pills and if they're in your mouth too long *shudder* nasty, but the progesterone is quite tiny and I can't even manage to take that one down. I have to plug my nose and then try my hardest not to vomit. I hope this passes soon.
Rave - Hubby went out and got himself a few books, in the 11 years we've been together I've never seen him read a book (unless it was for school). I cried, of course, because it made me so happy. He's the best
Symptoms: Nausea. Vomiting. Sore boobs.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I know these are all good signs, but this nausea and vomiting is making me miserable. I'm missing work again today, almost puked at my desk yesterday while also falling asleep. Last week I was throwing up 8-10 times a day, so my dr prescribed me reglan. It's been helping, but today it feels like I'm not even taking it.
My boss says she understands, I just feel guilty. And it doesn't help knowing I will need all my sick/vacation time for my maternity leave. Grow, baby, grow and let's get to 12 weeks already (fingers crossed this nausea/vomiting fades away before then).
Symptoms: getting way better. After several weeks of constant nausea, food aversions, etc., I'm now dealing with the occasional upset tummy, but only a few times per day. Still exhausted. Boobs don't hurt anymore (nipples are still sensitive, though)
Rant/rave: it was like my symptoms did a complete 180 on me and it really freaked me out at first. I confided in my DH on Saturday that I was nervous because I'd felt great with no symptoms for a full 24 hours... Then Sunday, out of the blue, they all came back with a vengeance and I stood in the kitchen crying be a use I was a weird mix of angry (at myself for not being more thankful when they were gone), releived that they were back, and just plain miserable. Poor DH just stood there going, "what can I do? How do I make this better?"
Me: 26 DH:27
Due: 11/6/2016
Symptoms: GASSY. Bloated. DIARRHEA. (probably from the metformin i take for PCOS) I've been eating everything. A few minor headaches even though the one I have right now is pretty pinchy. Nipples feel like they've been gnawed on, all.the.time.
Raves: no vomiting yet, praise God.
Symptoms are....
Intense fatigue, been taking 3 hour naps almost everyday after work and then waking up for a few and then still sleeping through the night. I've also been waking up at 7 am on my own which NEVER happened before lol. My nausea is already getting better, granted I just threw up yesterday. I've figured out when I should eat and how to keep it at a minimum.
I'm taking rainbow light prenatals and they smell horrible. I drank them down with ginger ale because if I use water I can taste it and it makes me throw up.
Symptoms: Nausea + barfing. Tons of barfing. My last pregnancy was NOTHING close to this, symptom-wise. I was up all last night throwing up. I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and thought that's it's funny how I have a bunch of my "summer freckles" showing-- I haven't been in the sun lately. Well, those aren't freckles! They're tons of tiny broken capillaries from throwing up so much, so hard. This HAS to get better. I really can't take much more.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Nothing other than wanting the above to stop.

Symptoms: insomnia, nausea, fatigue
Rants/Raves/Questions: I just tried acupuncture for the symptoms (yesterday), and today I'm feeling so much better! Don't know if it's temporary or even just placebo effect, but I'll take it...

TTC#2 April 2019Progress (week/day): 9/2 but ultrasound yesterday measured 8/6. Out of curiosity, is everyone counting from their LMP or from what their ultrasound read?
Symptoms: I am pretty tired most of the time due to not sleeping overly well. My boobs are larger & sore on the sides, I have a slightly increased sense of smell. I'm moody but that's no different than usual (lol). I also am craving the unhealthiest food and turning my nose up to healthier options. I usually love a good salad and peppers but I could not eat them last night! Whomp whomp. Ok so maybe I do have symptoms, just not any negative ones.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had a nightmare last night about our house catching on fire. The whole thing went up in flames extremely quickly. Luckily in the dream DH & I were able to get our pets out safely. I am feeling pretty good apart from being tired. My question is the one posted above!
Symptoms: I guess I'd consider them mild? I can't decide if that's the case or if I just feel that way because I'm on the late end of this board with a 11/25 EDD. I've had sore boobs with varying degrees of sore since 10dpo. Super tired. Maaaaybe sort-of starting to feel a little nauseous when I'm hungry.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm obviously nervous about how mild these symptoms are so I've started making things up about why that's so. (i.e., I'm a runner and crossfitter and I've continued doing both so far... maybe I have less severe symptoms because I work out most days?) Also possible I'm just lucky. My mom and I aren't close and I haven't shared with her yet, so I'm not sure how severe her symptoms were. I guess... I just need someone to tell me I'm on the spectrum of normal before my first ultrasound in 10 long days.
Symptoms: Tons, but the one I want to talk about is stretch marks! I swear I'm not a special snowflake, but I already have some stretch marks on my pelvic area. I haven't gained any weight, so could it be that my uterus is growing? I'd post pictures but I don't think you guys want to see my pelvic area.

I'm 10 weeks so I'm going with uterus growing/stretching but I'm not positive. It's a bit scary!
Anyone else?

@cristin343 DH thinks I am miserable because of always telling him I'm nauseous and tired and so on. I wouldn't say I am miserable but it does suck. So I am a debbie downer too.
@firepoppy I am sure the acupuncture helped. I bought some seabands to try out and so far I think they work. The body is amazing.
@therealvday It's completely up to you what you want to go by. Your dates don't sound to far off from each other so I think either could work.
@kristah2 I have had a little bit of cramping the last couple of days that I would attribute to the ute stretching. But I am only 7 weeks. I think your guess is probably right. If you are really concerned talk to your doctor.

TTC#2 April 2019Symptoms - some nausea since Sunday. Tired and sore boobs for a few weeks. Main thing I am concerned about started last night, extreme dizziness. Just turning from my left to right side in bed and my head was swimming. Am mostly just sitting at my desk right now, but when i'm standing up, I'm worried about passing out. Article I read said it's pretty normal though, just scary.
Saw one person up there mention dizziness, anyone else?
Symptoms: newest one that's driving me nuts is dysgeusia...the taste in my mouth is *horrendous*. It goes away when I'm eating/drinking thankfully, but otherwise it makes me want to vomit. Ugh. Still super fatigued, occasionally nauseated (felt like shit yesterday, better today) and sooooo gassy and bloated.
R/R/Q: nope
eta: ^^that's a lie...anyone have any recommendations to deal with this taste?!
Also, I feel silly for thinking I had stretch marks yesterday. Pretty sure it was just my pants pressing against my bloat
