sugarrush · January 2017

The heartburn and indigestion are at a new level, and i'm thinking of going to the doc to see what I can do. I'm at the point now where consuming anything is setting my stomach/chest on fire, so i've been avoiding eating and drinking which I know is not good. Tums is definitely not working for me this time around.

Even small sips at a time of water is irritating me. Its frustrating.... i'm so thirsty and hungry but when I think about it my mind says NOPE.

Emeraldcity · January 2017

I'm 5 weeks today and I feel like the symptoms are piling up. I am having so many hot flashes. I will be cold one minute and then so hot I'm dying the next. I'm short of breathe, I have heart palpitations, and constipation. I'm only having mild nausea and it is usually at night.

mrsvp614 · January 2017

@SugarRush My doc says Zantac and Prilosec are safe options.

sugarrush · January 2017

@MrsVP614 thank you!!! Do you prefer one over the other?

ashley2824 · January 2017

@SugarRush Zantac was my best friend during my first PG. I preferred it over Prilosec just because it provided relief quickly. Prilosec you have to take everyday for it to start working I believe.

sugarrush · January 2017

@ashley2824 perfect, thanks!!! A girl needs to eat!!! I'm so hungry!

meghanbeattie · January 2017

I'm 6wks 5days and my arms are itchy, I'm exhausted and some stretch marks are forming (yay

HollyGolightly09 · January 2017

7+4 today...Your GIF pretty much sums it up.

The nausea is slowly killing me. I'm not actually throwing up, just miserably sick alll day long... to the point that I can't even get to sleep at night. Yesterday I dry heaved for 10 minutes, but nothing actually came up. WTF?!?

kell plus 3 · January 2017

You can take zantac 75mg. It's on the list that my doctor gave me. Heartburn if left untreated can lead to other problems including cancer!

MplsKate · January 2017

7+2. I caught a cold, so it is a bit hard to tease some of the symptoms apart. The cold and pregnancy are working in perfect combination to make me miserable.

All of my symptoms come and go (thank goodness!), but I have been suffering some heartburn, indigestion (hello, belching), and a touch of nausea. The fatigue is FOR REAL, but I think part of that is the cold. Trying to nuke it to death with tons of liquids and sleep!

JustBored10 · January 2017

7+3
Sore boobs, Nausea comes and goes even throughout the night, abdominal cramps at night and tired on and off through out the day. My appetite is slowly coming back but I can't eat much at one time.

sableeg · January 2017

7 weeks today: sleepiness, weepiness, sore boobs, food aversions. First trimester is rough!

cmar1006 · January 2017

4+3
I have only had fatigue and sore boobs. I know I'm still early on, so I'm not expecting anything to really his for another few weeks. Trying to enjoy this calm before the storm. With DD I had nausea the first two trimesters and couldn't eat hardly anything.

eeyorefan215 · January 2017

8+2
The nausea is pretty bad, but I now have some meds to help in that department.
I'm not sleeping well at night. I get awful hot flashes followed by the shivers and it's a vicious cycle all night!

beccam1230 · January 2017

I typically feel pretty good in the morning, but as of the past few days- evening and night are when it hits me. I've been getting a little queasy and crampy after about 4pm. Some days I'm realllllly tired, some days I seem to have endless energy! Most days I'm starving all day... I swear my body has decided to let me eat all I want before I get so sick, I can't eat at all! This time I'm following through trend of my first pregnancy early on, and I was so sick. But I guess I'll see soon enough!

Sugargirl1019 · January 2017

7+4
STARVING ALL THE TIME. I mentioned at work that I was so hungry and I got "Are you pregnant??"

.. no.. gosh.. can't a girl be hungry after a small lunch?

Also I'm exhausted but have insomnia around 3-4 am!! Getting up to pee multiple times does not help the insomnia.

starla · January 2017

I'm 5 weeks today! Nausea has subsided. I'm still tired, am thirsty, and have sore boobs. I also caught a cold.

kailapop · January 2017

6 + 5. Im so incredibly EXHAUSTED, hangry, I legit pee 5 times a night, I'm cold more than not (which is so strange since pre pregnant I was a heater), I can smell EVERYTHING, and I'm an emotional wreak.

Is it second trimester yet?!?!?

KMKaiser07 · January 2017

7w5d and the nausea is miserable! I'm afraid to step foot on the scale because all I've been doing is eating since it helps curb the sick feeling. Also still really tired but part of that is from chasing after my two kiddos.

mamakculb · January 2017

7 weeks 4 days here. I'm not really one that suffers from lots of nausea, just some first thing in the morning. What I seem to always suffer from in all three pregnancies so far is utter exhaustion and headaches/migraines. I'd love something other than the stupid headaches. I feel like I'm completely incapacitated and can't do anything. JUST GO AWAYYYY

HollyGolightly09 · January 2017

@kristanoah Have you tried magnesium? I get terrible headaches all the time when I'm not pregnant, so that was one of my main concerns going in, and I heard great things about magnesium.

Carebella · January 2017

@SugarRush have you tried papaya enzyme for the heartburn? That helped me a lot last pregnancy. I feel like there are a couple of other natural remedies like apple cider vinegar and mustard oddly enough.

@kailapop former heater as well that now has to wear all the layers.

No new symptoms this week so far. But legitimately wondering if I'd feel better if I actually threw up rather than feeling queasy ALL THE DAMN TIME. This better not last the whole pregnancy like it did the first time. I'm so ready for food to sound good again. At least last time food sounded good so it was easier to eat frequently. And hopefully the exhaustion goes away after first trimester. It didn't last time, but I would really love to have the second trimester energy it feels like everyone else always raves about.

Raincity · January 2017

4 weeks 3 days. I am eating constantly- I'll have a regular meal and be ravenous/stomach rumbling half an hour later. I'm impressing myself!

I've been experiencing drenching (DRENCHING) night sweats when I'm asleep. It's the worst.

I'm exhausted, but maybe that's because I took a whirlwind trip to DC this pas weekend.

My boobs hurt, with this weird burning sensation in my nips. I've always been a smeller but now I smell everything even more.

kelseyrayay · January 2017

6 weeks I feel good actually. Which is surprising. This pregnancy is so much easier then my last

pandawares · January 2017

4+5

I almost never get sick, but apparently my immune system has s**t the bed. I'm still recovering from a nasty cold I came down with over a week ago, and I think I'm coming down with something else.

So. Horny.

I want all the food. I'm visiting my girlfriend right now, and she's enabling me. She made me a big batch of chocolate chip and M&M cookie bars last night.

I'm rocking a serious blump right now.

lap018 · January 2017

Everyone at church almost saw the digested version of what I had for breakfast yesterday, thankfully I managed to save face and not puke but good grief this nausea is crazy! I had zero nausea with my last so I'm not sure how to deal especially with a toddler in tow! Same about to barf sensation last night. It's definitely worse if I get hungry but then if I eat I get nauseated too? Also a headache that has been hanging around since Saturday night just annoying the crap out of me. 8 weeks tomorrow

msashley2010-2 · January 2017

@lap018 I have been in the same exact boat unfortunately!

I feel so nauseous and sick to my stomach, especially once I go too long without eating. But then once I eat I feel like it is all going to make a reappearance. I can't wait til the second trimester!!

I have also had to pee non stop. Especially at night. But also with the added bonus of not being able to go back to sleep. I've been up since 4am this morning because of my overactive bladder.

msashley2010-2 · January 2017

Usually when I've had limited amount of sleep I can drink a cup of coffee and carry on. But alas, even a good old cup of Joe cannot battle this fatigue.

lilpoots · January 2017

I'm only 4 weeks + 3 days, but I'm having issues with my gallbladder, so I'll be starting a low fat diet.

I took Zantac when I was pregnant with my daughter and it was a lifesaver!

mrswynn2014 · January 2017

4w 5d.
so freaking tired, hungry and blah.
and I'm so bloated I look like I'm showing (I know I'm not, but I'm afraid people will start asking soon)

sableeg · January 2017

First "morning" sickness throw up tonight. It's going to be a long few weeks!

ashley2824 · January 2017

7w5d
nausea isn't as constant, but it comes fast sometimes when it's been a while since I've eaten and then right after I eat. Also evenings is my worst time, I feel so nauseous I don't eat dinner half of the time. I've also been so so tired, falling asleep already tonight. Mentioned last week, but heart palpitations started this weekend, so that was weird.

FutureBabyLMom · January 2017

5w 5d
Nausea feeling ( not throwing up) in the morning and when I get hungry. When I eat even if it's a small meal I feel nauseous. Boobs are crazy sore. Also when I lay down at night I get nauseous.

ellemnop90 · January 2017

My lower back has officially started hurting and being sore. I am 8+2. Even before getting pregnant it wasn't the best, but now I'm uncomfortable. I had an appointment today and asked about it and she said it was totally normal. Any one else with a sore back already?

wyomama0427 · January 2017

witcherlindsey85 · January 2017

5+4 super moody, sore boobs and super hungry at night, but I really don't have the pregnant feeling yet. I have a hard time sleeping at night because I'm so hot all the time, but sleeping during the day isnt much of a problem except I'm not getting anything done lol

CynOkwu · January 2017

7 + 3

Nausea all day without vomiting. With my DS it was nausea and vomiting all day (not sure which is worse). Mild cramping.
My CSI Unit is now up and running; I can sniff down any crime scene

16 weeks...how I long for thee...

CynOkwu · January 2017

Me too. Back got destroyed by epidural

SCK2411 · January 2017

6+1
Most of the symptoms I had last week actually went away and it's kind of worrying me. My boobs are still crazy sore to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night if I turn over. And I'm super tired but I also got a cold on Thursday so that probably contributes to the fatigue.
@ellemnop90 my lower back has been hurting me for over a week already... Don't think that's a good sign for later on in my pregnancy.
