4+4 Crying a lot. Boobs are mildly sore. Nipples are at full attention at all times. Not super interested in specific foods, but still get hungry and want to eat.
I'm 7w+5d and the past 24 hours I've had crazy indigestion, which I've never really had before. Just feel like all my food is stuck in my chest and a lump in my throat, so I'm constantly swallowing. Weird.
ETA: I'm just trying to get my eating/cravings under control, but it's hard. I definitely have some aversions, but the cravings are serious. Does this ease up? Or are you a ravenous beast for the whole pregnancy?
I'm 6+5 today, and my boobs!! Omg! As a member of the Itty bitty titty committee, these bad boys are crazy! They are so swollen, firm, heavy, dense, and I think look bigger too! DH is too busy touching them to be able to notice if they look larger, but I think they are from swelling at least.
@margareth Thank you for putting words to what I was thinking! Food doesn't bother me so much, but perfume, oh my god. Get it away from me, you stinky people. It's just overwhelmingly strong and powerful and makes my stomach sick. Also the smell of the dryer sheets? I suddenly hate that.. which is an issue seeing as how everything smells like that..

INSOMNIA. omg, I got my bfp 3 days ago and two of the three nights I was up for about 4 hours in the night Every time I realize it's only Tuesday, I feel even more exhausted.

6+4.. the nausea has hit. And my boobs are way sore. It has gone from yay I have symptoms! to omg please this isn't funny anymore I am suffering. I am miserable. And effing tired. Did I even sleep last night??
Omg I am so feeling you on this -- on all accounts!! This weekend I was like okay im not having fun with this right now... my body isn't controllable anymore!!
Literally my night. I slept in 30 min intervals until 5 AM and just gave up and watched TV. I wasn't ever sick with my son. When will the nausea go away?!?!
Nausea has been insane recently. I had a craving for some fruit snacks and went to the store and bought fruit gushers and fruit by the foot. It may just be all in my head but they help soothe my stomach!
5w3d today. Exhaustion is starting to go away. Still a lot of discharge but not as much as there was. And I'm encountering the great pregnancy irony: being hungry as hell while everything food related makes me nauseous.

@Msashley2010 You can get them on Amazon too! I have taken full advantage of their prime pantry feature lately. I may or may not have snacks on their way to my house today
6+5 Possibly the whole post TMI but I have no shame anymore .... Well I could talk about the gas or the sore boobs the crying or even the nausea that keeps me from eating often but y'all all of the just pales in comparison in the consipation. I was dehydrated in the hospital and they mentioned that I might have some "bowel issues" but sweet baby Jesus the pain! I was legit in tears and on the ground from consipation! I tried everything and finally my husband made 3 trips to the drug store and we found something that worked. I'm still incredibly uncomfortable but not in pain anymore. I have never experienced anything like this it's awful and I think it's safe to say I'm having a rough first trimester
So sleepy. Jolly Ranchers are my friends again. I also have some kind of heartburn or indigestion going on. I kind of thought it was a bit early to be sleeping with Tums.
I don't know how I'm going to do another 33 weeks. I feel sooooooo sick all the time. On top of that I have to train people this week at work and i hate teaching people things while also feeling like running to the bathroom to hurl every five minutes.
I feel like I haven't had as much nausea as I had last week and it's kind of freaking me out. I still have some other symptoms, but the nausea was so reassuring.
5+2 So tired today. Not sure if it's from the baby or having packed for 4 hours every night after 8 hours of work... We are almost all packed a ready to move though, so I'm hoping that I don't have nausea on top of the exhaustion.
So so nauseous today. My mouth is watery and I keep coughing. Haven't had an appetite today, but ate a banana. Praying it subsides soon. It's been pretty constant this morning, which is different from the waves I've had for the last few weeks. 7w today so I'm wondering if it was just minimal since I was still early. Ughhh
Achey lower back the past few days Emotional / crying at tv shows - not really normal for me usually One little bout of dizziness when I stood up today Tiredness - I took a nap every day this weekend
No nausea yet, but from the looks of you guys ahead of me, that might be coming next week! Hope you ladies feel better!
I was fine until Monday. Monday I was exactly 6 weeks and nausea has been most of the day this time. I haven't actually gotten sick but I feel like I have to eat to be fine. I'm not hungry but eat so I don't get nauseous. Comes in waves but it's ugh hate that feeling of an empty stomach but I'm eating/snacking most of the day.
Ok, what's the deal with hating water? The past few days I seriously can't drink the stuff... it tastes like chemicals. I've tried two different brands of bottled water and our filtered water at home. It's awful!
@HollyGolightly09 me too! I've had to start putting lime juice and a little stevia in mine in order to get it down. Satisfies my sour craving and keeps me hydrated. It's a win win!
@lap018 lol, yes! I have lemons and strawberries in mine today. I told my Dr yesterday that I'm cramping at night and she said I need to hydrate more... I'm trying!
6w6d today. Lots of all day nausea and being extra tired. I'm also super hungry. I'm trying to watch my weight since I gained so much with my first. It's a struggle because I only feel good if I have food on my stomach. I'm trying to eat little things throughout the day. I did take b6 yesterday and today and I can feel a difference with the nausea!
I am 5w5d. I feel so tried, sore boobs, feeling hungry all the time & just today when i used the rr i wiped and there was a very small brown spotting. Nothing big I have no cramps but it scared me because I was preggo back in July 2016 but miscarried Aug 5th so it scared me. I just found out I was pregnant again on Sunday with my rainbow baby.
@HollyGolightly09 i was the same way with my 2nd PG. only thing I wanted to drink was soda haha. So I started drinking juice and gatorade and that helped. I would drink maybe 2 cups of water a day, the rest was juice or soda
If you are having really bad nausea, something that helped me a lot with my last pregnancy was Chimes Ginger Chews, I had never heard of them till I saw them in a magazine, but they can really help.
i can relate with a lot of what you all are feeling... I bought Sea Bands today and I *think* they're helping,,. Should I take them off to sleep, though? I do think they work but at the very least it's like wearing armor against the onslaught of nausea! Kind of...
i like preggy pops so/so... I feel like I OD'ed on them (I had 3 in a row) so my mouth was not feeling the sour anymore.
I also have been hating water! It's been coconut water, Gatorade, and Arizona Iced Tea for me... absolutely no craving for milk or coffee... or beer/wine.
Ugh... I used to adore Mrs Meyers soaps and now I have to hold my nose when I wash my hands or the dishes... I've gone through two fragrances - rosemary and basil - and nothing smells good... maybe I should try the lemon verbena haha.
Just wanted to add... I applaud you working mothers right now. I teach online classes and it's still winter break, to boot; i honestly don't know how you're getting up early in the morning for work, getting dressed, facing people, getting stuff accomplished, and, well, simply getting through the workday! I couldn't imagine teaching in person right now...
@Breath_Easy92 I've got the opposite problem of you. I've got diarrhea every morning. With my first I had an upset stomach for almost the entire pregnancy so I'm not happy that I'm already having that problem.
my vericose veins started yesterday. My legs hurt so bad right now.

You should really look at some compression stockings for your legs! I wear Total Compressions Solutions and though these are a little more expensive than others, they are so cute! You can order them online from multiple different scrub stores (because they were made for nurses).

@margareth I was trying the sea bands and couldn't really tell if they were helping or not... the way I'm feeling right now I feel like I should give them another shot. I would take them off to sleep, though. My wrists were sore, almost bruised, from wearing them all day on Sunday and I didn't even sleep in them.
Y'all, being this sick and still having to function like a normal person is hard. Any time I've ever felt this bad before I've been legitimately stay home in bed sick (stomach virus, flu, etc).
I know a big part of my problem is I am spoiled. DH has been doing everything for me, but he's working tonight. I just sat in the kitchen floor crying because I was trying to fix my lunch for tomorrow and food is gross.
