    Yessss!!! Always!
  • @lahearn18 Right there with you.. mine are definitely low-key no more. 

    @daniellelynette @mrsmgsee The nausea is so bad. I'm sick if I eat, sick if I don't... it's bad all day but about 4:00 each day I am in bed crying sick until bed time. 

    Plus... I need to poop, so that isn't helping my tummy. Ugh!

  • @HollyGolightly09 although they're unpleasant, those sound like pretty "promising" symptoms... did you have similar ones last pregnancy? 
  • I have very little appetite, though I feel bloated and my pants are tight. All I can tolerate right now is  juice, white rice, rice cakes... that's about it. how weird to have little appetite yet feel so fat! :-0
  • Ps: I can def have a toasted bagel too, which I had yesterday. But it's weird to only crave carbs, hardly anything else! 
  • @margareth No, I did not... which I do try to remind myself of often. I was very vaguely queasy (looking back, it's cute that I thought I was sick) but that was really it.
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • @HollyGolightly09 Well that's one thing to hold onto with hope and positivity!  As unpleasant as the symptoms are...  Are you a first time mom?  (I am.)  So many more questions and hesitations when it's your first time around.  Everything is new terrain!
  • @margareth Yes, I am a FTM and everything just seems so strange and important, lol. 
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • I got a call from my doctor (actually, a nurse) saying that they detected a small amont of bacteria in my urine sample, and that I need to go on something for it... I hadn't noticed any related symptoms, but she said I could be asymptomatic and there was just a small amount. FYI, in case any of you have this or have had it! 
  • 6w2d. Cramps (but no bleeding), fatigue, nausea, constipation, extreme breast/nipple tenderness, and my knees hurt, which is odd. I thought I wasn't moody, but I cried over an upbeat music video yesterday, so I think I have to admit to having mood swings. 

    I'm slowly starting to manage my symptoms, so I'm feeling better now than I did before my bfp :lol: I hope that manages to continue, my dream is to not vomit during my first trimester.

    Anyone else only get nauseated after they eat? I've been trying to woof down my lunch and dinner so I can finish before I start feeling sick. Even when I have just small snacks, I start feeling nauseated.
    I've found that eating small meals very slowly helps with the nausea. I feel silly, but it's like my body hates anything that isn't totally chewed to death. Antacids are also my best friend right now.

  • 5w today. Mild cramping. My boobs hurt off and on. Sometimes they are just killing me. My pants are tight from bloat. I'm thirsty all the time, so I drink a bunch of water and go to the bathroom all day long. Some nausea, particularly when I catch a whiff of certain scents.

  • 5w6d and the nausea is annoying. I have no appetite so I have to force myself to eat. Heartburn, sore boobs and still discharge though that seems to be easing up & not as bad as a week ago. Also can my body decide whether it wants to be constipated or have diarrhea? Because I'm starting to get confused. (This whole post is TMI I swear! Lol)

  • @rainafire77 I totally hear ya on the diarrhea vs. constipation... neither is fun for different reasons and I have been "battling" both recently. <sigh>

    PS: I'm surprised how much fiber there is in raspberries! 
  • @rainafire77 It can be really annoying, but sometimes when you're constipated your body tries to "flush things out", which is why people can have bouts of diarrhea when they're constipated. I've been taking probiotics and eating a lot of fiber, which helps "regulate" my digestive system to something more manageable.

  • I'm really liking V8 juice right now... mild and soothing, plus a healthy dose of veggies and fiber! (Not great sodium-wise, though.) 
  • @HollyGolightly09 thanks  :) I am trying to drink more but it's so hard to remember to keep sipping all day!!
  • @margareth I now strangely want V8!

    I've been getting woozy but not nauseas per se when I smell certain things (like that oniony/body oder type scent that mexican food can sometimes take on...and when some asshat walked by me last night and smoked a cigarette  :s
    Still just the occasional heart palpitation and off n on barely sore boobs.

    @Texafornian The "body odor scent" is probably from ground cumin! If you wanna avoid that smell when cooking Mexican food at home, make sure any spice mix you use doesn't have cumin in it :smiley:

  • @mightymcqueen good to know cuz I loves me my Mexican food! I only notice it on occasion in purchased food...

  • Any other moms pregnant with their 3rd or 4th having trouble with hemorrhoids? I had them bad last time and they started bothering me late first tri, now they are starting to bother me again and I'm only 4w5d. I'm scared for what this means later on. 

    Still no nausea or bloating for me. It's still pretty early for that. I hope I don't eat these words later.

  • Is anyone with a fitbit mildly obsessed with watching their resting heart rate go up every few days? After 2 losses last year, it gives me comfort each day to watch my heart rate go up.
  • 5 weeks tomorrow and the only way I know I'm pregnant is bc of a positive pregnancy test and missed period. I literally feel nothing. I've had a terrible cold so maybe my body is preoccupied, but other than that it's smooth sailing. Makes me paranoid.

    Does anyone's nausea almost feel more like the tiniest thing triggers their gag reflex instead of feeling truly nauseated in their stomach?
    gagged and puked a little in sink while brushing teeth today....totally unexpected. luckily moved toothbrush out of the way just in time.

    & @HollyGolightly09 i swear i am pooping more often than i ever have in my life (sans infancy i would suppose). but it's never like a full BM. like its constipation and constant pooping together. it's miserable.

    Omg the GAS!!! It's like gurgle gurgle and then "don't come near me!!" It's like something crawled up in there!

    edited because it cut me off!!! Grrr.
    i asked hubs if I was gassy last time and he said he hated coming to bed awhile after me because the room would stink. Then he said, "I guess that's a good sign?" 

    Hahaha! Gross but yes...it's at least my symptom!!

  • @lahearn18  OMG, yes... I was like that up until about a week ago. It was awful, but now I can't go at all.

  • @Texafornian yes! It's so uncomfortable especially at night!
  • 6+0w So bloated, none of my pants fit and I actually dug out my old maternity clothes to "take inventory". I've been having mild cramping off and on for about a week or so. The past few days I've also had some light spotting (red and brown), so trying to take it easy....I just hate that instant worst case senerio thoughts. With DS I was sick the entire pregnancy and on a steady dose of zofran which helped, so not having the ms yet has definitely thrown me off a little. My appointment isn't for another 2 weeks.  :s

  • These heart palpitations are awful! My chest feels so tight. I never had this with my other 2 pregnancies.

    The associated tightness sounds concerning!

    "Sugar Fancy Tutu"
  • Anyone else have to pee every five seconds? Lol! 
  • @Sugargirl1019 I was googling last night and it doesn't seem uncommon. Some say it could be heartburn, anxiety, or just extra blood flow. I'll probably call the dr/nurse line this morning to double check. But I think I'm going to try to find some tums first, see if that helps. Thanks for your concern  :)
  • @Msashley2010 I'm 7w4d and I would say just the last few days I've started peeing more, especially a night. I'll wake up at least twice and then have to go immediately after I wake up for the day. And so it begins...
  • The nausea hit me last night. I was rocking my two youngest kids and I was feeling it bad. So when I got done I just went and laid on the couch. I had to stay up late to go get my oldest son from his scout event. I rolled into bed at 10:45. Then my 1yo was up twice. I feel like I need to go sleep for another 5 hours. 
  • Anyone had an ectopic before with back pain? Where was the back pain localized? Like tailbone level (sciatic type), more lower back like in the curve etc? 
    Ive felt like I've had a bit of sciatic pain since yesterday...kind of comes and goes. Nothing not manageable but it got me thinking! 
    Have ultrasound tomorrow at 6+2 as I had brown spotting for a heartbeat last Thursday and they're checking me for peace of mind for that ...

  • The metallic taste has hit hard. Everything tastes awful and makes me even more nauseous.
  • ZOMG I have pregnancy brain like crazy. I thought this happened towards the end
