1 - some increased nausea today because, in a bold move, I halved my dose thinking I didn't need it. I'll try again in a week 2 - constipation still 3 - holy weight rebound! After losing weight for 8 weeks, I gained every pound back in just this last week! 4 - food aversions still but not as many and I still can't prepare my own food or anything but I won't be surprised if that lasts this whole time.
But I've had 2 days of no barfing and my fatigue is cut to a tenth of what it was. My headaches are gone... I'm MUCH bigger, all in all I am in disbelief of where I am compared to where I was.
Nausea...still. I am ready for it to be over. My boobs still hurt. RLP is real and painful. Headaches just started. Daily. Ugh. Constipation has given way to diarrhea. Sciatica. Still tired all the time. The other day I took a 3 hour nap, woke up and went to bed and slept another 7 hours or so.

cayaylonglegs This is my first so I'm relying only on the great advice my midwife has given me so far but I mentioned restless legs at my last appointment and she suggested magnesium. She specifically suggested a brand called Natural Calm. It's a powder you add to water. I've been drinking it almost every night before bed and have had restless legs once since then. Maybe that'll help?
Headaches for 3-4 weeks now RLP Diarrhea ever since BFP, anytime I eat a meal. No sign of stopping Food aversions, although lessening a bit Fatigue. None during first tri, quite a bit now
• headaches • RLP/lightning crotch • weird cravings • reflux (had this pre-preg so yay for that) • dizziness (but only if I move too quickly) • easily winded
Boobs went up a size this week. My sports bras that were perfect last week are way too tight now and it looks like I'm wearing a pushup bra, not a sports bra.
Body not recovering quickly from workouts. Easily takes 2 days to feel better after a 4 mile day.
Restless legs, which is new. Will look into the suggestions above.
Lack of patience with my cranky 2 year old. It's getting worse. I feel like a bad mom.
Nausea has stayed away the last couple weeks! Aversion to veggies or cooking in general remains. RLP & lightning crotch. & Lightning boob? Only today, twice, same boob. Weird. So much bloat! Up 6lbs. Looks like15. Had to go bra shopping. Feet and back are DONE half way through the day. Plus my hips hurt. Haven't decided if it's the extra weight or my bed but either way 12 wks seems too early for foot/back/hip pain.
Sore hips and lower back. I think I may have IBS-D as well. Ugh! Also, lots of pressure on my vagina! It seems so early for that, but hurts SO BAD non stop.
Still queasy in the afternoons. I've been dizzy this week. Also I can't breath? I don't remember this happening this early. I walked at the park with friends today - it was a mile of pushing DD's stroller and I was struggling halfway through haha. And now I'm just laying in bed and my nose feels so plugged but it's not.

Headaches like whoa. Snail trail has begun. I'm not sure anyone's mentioned this yet. Sore legs. RLP. Sore and itchy nipples. Weird.
I'm so glad you posted this. At first I thought "WTF is a snail trail," and then realized I might know exactly what you're talking about. Google confirmed that I'm right there with you... It's gross and weird, but I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I haven't been able to keep anything down for about 12 hours now, and DH started throwing up too (which never happens). Maybe it's something we ate? I dunno, but I can't even keep water down. Trying popsicles now. I really don't want us both spending the day in the ER...

@cayaylonglegs I also use magnesium oil for restless legs!!! Works great......
I can't remember is 10/11 weeks when some bloating starts to fade?? I feel like my stomach hasn't gotten any bigger in a while and I don't have an appointment for a week... (couldnt' find heartbeats yesterday with my home doppler either, bleh). I'm 11+5
nausea has been much worse last 2 weeks. Thought my fatigue was better, but last night proved that wrong....
Constipation, but then diarrhea when I finally can go
Fatigue, but seems to be getting better - depends on the day
MS off and on, and again... depends on the day
My "ball of foot" pain has increased, but yet not on my feet as much (like for workouts) - not sure of PG related, but just started to get worse
Sore boobs on the sides, but less firm (DH likes to check, ha)
Headaches when I wake up most mornings, but shortly go away
Hips have widened... could just be that I've plumped out, but shirts that normally fit over my hips don't so much anymore. That's about 85% of my closet, unfortunately.
I feel like I have more now with the start of my 2nd tri than I did before!

RLP Sore & itchy nipples (there is no way to discreetly scratch them in public, wah) Sore feet Headaches Exhausted some days (3 hour nap yesterday) but it's getting a bit better. Carpal tunnel is flaring up
I'm finding I don't love being pregnant. My sister was one of those who did love it, and I kinda thought I would. I mean, I'm excited and totally fascinated by what my body is doing, but on a day to day basis I'm frustrated at feeling incapacitated, slow, and in pain.
@mysteryship....I have given up already on modesty. My underboob eczema itches, sometimes I must scratch it. I don't bother trying to be discreet. And I'll put lotion on that spot...at my desk at work, I just turn my chair around lol.
Crazy food aversions/hypersmell.. these dint quit! I'm 15w6d.
Sharp pains around my side waistband today. Could be a hip/tummy muscle pulled, could be constipation pain, could be RLP, could be uti.... gall bladder... I have no idea!
Bloating and constipated feeling every day
RLP whenever I try to walk. I blame my work heels.
Pregnancy symptoms are one adventure after another....

RLP & lightening crotch fatigue sore boobs worse nausea (haven't been able to keep anything down at all) lower back pain losing weight instead of gaining bloody nose bleeding gums
Luckily I see my OB tomorrow so I can ask for something to at least alleviate the nausea.
Didn't have many symptoms until I started back at work after we were away for 10 days. Now: RLP!! headaches (could be the air pressure changing) bloody nose when I blow it very sore legs and feet halfway through the workday
otherwise Ive been very lucky and haven't had much! I'm just waiting for it though!
After a week long break from dry mouth, it's back with a vengeance this week.
My nips are so freaking sore and sensitive. I expected my boobs to get a little bigger but my nipples have too and it's so weird. And awkward. This is new the past week or two.
Varicose veins in my right leg are swollen and painful. My OB said she hopes the compression hose I'm wearing will help. But they're hot and I can't wear them every day.
I know most woman experience hair loss after delivery but I feel like I'm shedding more than normal and it's just the beginning. Anyone else experiencing a change in their hair? I thought it was suppose to get thicker and more beautiful during pregnancy
My hair sheds like no other anyway, even if I use shampoo that is supposed to help with it. My hair has actually gotten more limp and not so lustrous like I was hoping it would be. Maybe it's a delayed thing. At least, I am hoping... it's a struggle every morning to do. It also hasn't grown any faster... but yet my nails and leg hair have immensely.

I bled yesterday. Like a lot. Ran to the doctor's office in tears, thinking I lost the baby.
Turns out my cervix was bleeding (they said from standing up and sitting down too much at work), so I'm put on "light bed rest" for the next two weeks. I'm just glad I got to see the baby again, and it's heart was beating strong!
Ugh, I had a small cup of ice cream last night and my stomach feels like I'm dying...kept waking me up because it hurts! I know it's gas and constipation but damn it sucks. My Squatty Potty has helped me a little but bleh...looks like I'm going to be camping out in the bathroom today until something happens...
Increased acne has been something I've experienced most of this pregnancy, including chest zits. yesterday I discovered a zit between my buttcheeks. Lovely.
Taste buds are changing for sure. Sprite (my go to bubble drink since BFP) now tastes like toothpaste.
***Possible TW*** So last night I started cramping and having brown spotting. The cramping has subsided, but the spotting has gotten heavier. The doctor said if it gets worse to go to the emergency room, but otherwise to just come in on Monday. She went into full detail about what to expect if I miscarry so that wasn't very comforting.
Hang in there @doodleoodle - hoping for the best. Not that this means anything for you but I had a subchronic hematoma and this is what the midwife described as what I may expect and to know it's not something to worry about at this point. It's great that you can go in on Monday and get some reassurance!

So sorry you're going through this. FX that everything is okay. Thinking of you.

Vomiting has stopped, but nausea/headaches come at night. I'm still going to be as soon as my kids go to sleep.
preparing healthy meals is still hard, but if someone else does it, I'll try it. I need dinner by 5:30ish otherwise my night goes downhill fast.
Vivid dreams! Peeing 2-4 times a night! No wonder I'm tired.
Cramping in the ute is gone for now & ive been able to run some (slowly).
