Weekly Symptoms Thread 1/23

dinosaur · January 2017

I know it's a little late in the week to start, but let's do this! I suggest we start this thread on Sundays or Mondays?

So ladies, how far along are you and how are you feeling?

dinosaur · January 2017

I am super super tried, my breasts are huge, and I had a bit of spotting this week.

I am 4 weeks today!

Edit: forgot to add stuff

sjohns908 · January 2017

4+5 - I've been feeling alright. As of yesterday, I now have to pee all.the.time. I usually don't get too crummy feeling until week 5, so I'm bracing myself lol. I've scrubbed the toilets and cleaned the bathroom floors in preparation

My biggest complaint right now is the dizziness though. But I'm enjoying the calm before the storm lol

dinosaur · January 2017

@sjohns08 - I'm also cleaning like crazy! I don't want to worry about it when I start to feel like crap.

mommac2017 · January 2017

I threw up today for the first time. I'm 4w4d. Was really hoping the morning sickness wouldn't come for a while. But alas, it is here! I am trying to embrace it lol

ksf13 · January 2017

Should be 4 weeks tomorrow! I'm currently mostly just tired with the occasional wave of nausea. I'll welcome morning sickness with open arms though. Excited to get this journey underway!

ksf13 · January 2017

Agh @sjohns08, I didn't have dizziness with my DD, so I didn't even think of it being a symptom, but the room started spinning for me earlier. That may explain it haha.

sjohns908 · January 2017

@keriflores yep, you can thank your blood volume starting to increase for this one! Just try not to stand up too fast, which I totally forget often when the kids are fighting and I have to jump up to stop something lol

babymish · January 2017

I'm 4w3d and up to now have been great. I have felt mild nausea on and off each day but have been full of energy. Last night however I felt very sick through the night and into this morning. I did break my healthy eating and have fried chicken so possibly that didn't agree with me. Back to the lean chicken and veg I go.

My boobs also reach a new level of sore today.

Other than that all good here.

momtobe613 · January 2017

Nauseous all day until bedtime. Had the same with first preg until 13 weeks.... gatorade ginger ale soup and crackers was all i could keep down... hoping it doesnt get that bad this time.

Raincity · January 2017

I am 5 weeks and 1 day. My most prominent symptom is sore boobs, which I grab all day long to 'test' if they still hurt (I have pregnant after a loss brain!). I have a voracious appetite- I've never known such an appetite! I eat all day long, around the clock, I'm eating us out of house and home! I'm just going for it now, storing up nutrients in the event that I do get nauseated.

I also have drenching night sweats. I've moved out of my our room for now and I'm sleeping in the guest room. This is no fun. This will have to change. But for now, I'm a super-soaker.

Also, my skin cleared up, I fall asleep beautifully around 10:30pm every night. Before pregnancy I suffered from terrible insomnia, so this is a gift! Also, I have a chronic illness and I deal with chronic pain, more's the pity. Since getting KU the pain is gone. It's amazing!! I'm trying to focus on the good symptoms of pregnancy along with the annoyances.

carryingablessing · January 2017

Hi, my skin cleared up and no other symptoms, except that I'm feeling some cramping and it's making me nervous. I'm at week 4. I hope this doesn't last and baby is good.

dinosaur · January 2017

I woke up this morning, and I was like "I need food NOW!!!".

SwtAnana · January 2017

I'm 4w4d today. I've been having mildly sore boobs (I keep grabbing them to make sure they're still sore!), headaches, and this off and on indigestion/nausea hybrid thing going on! More trouble than usual with sleeping but I've always been a light sleeper so who knows if there's a real change there. Oh and cramping....most of it is mild but occasionally I get a serious cramp and have a mini panic attack that something bad is about to happen

That coupled with *TMI* watery CM keeps me running back and forth to and from the bathroom

but no spotting!

My appetite overall hasn't increased a ton but when I'm hungry I am HUNGRY!!!!!

sjohns908 · January 2017

@Dinosaur i was the same way this morning! I told DH "so it begins... needing to eat the second I wake up" lol. But my hunger is always coupled with "better eat right now idiot before you throw up from being hungry" haha

@SwtAnana omg the extra discharge is making me crazy!! I was at the store and I was like "oh shit, what if I'm bleeding?!" And then I immediately turned super grouchy because I got anxious. It's making my PGAL brain insanely stressed

beezeee · January 2017

I'm 4w3d. So far nothing too exciting happening other than sore boobs and mild cramping that has been hanging around for the past week. The cramping makes me a little nervous, although I had the same thing early on in my pregnancy with DD, so I'm trying not to sweat it too much.

dinosaur · January 2017

@SwtAnana and @stjohns08 - Same story with the extra discharge!

mommac2017 · January 2017

Never had this in previous pregnancies. Brushing my teeth is awful!!! I'm gagging so much!

SwtAnana · January 2017

@sjohns08 @Dinosaur wish it didn't feel the same! DH will be talking to me and I'll run off mid-sentence to check myself in the bathroom. I have no reason to believe things won't progress well but every woman is nervous this early...especially when you have an infertility diagnosis hanging over your head!

So bleeding gums when brushing your teeth is a thing??! Cuz I'm gonna go ahead and check that off as well

beezeee · January 2017

@mommac2017 I had the same problem with brushing my teeth when I was pregnant with DD. Not fun.

mommac2017 · January 2017

@SwtAnana, my gums bled this morning. I said something to DH about it and he rolled his eyes saying "so everything is just a pregnancy symptom now, right?!"

Sprinkles · January 2017

Finally I can post! I been watching and dying to say hello to you all!!
I have 0 symptoms - so nerve wracking!
I am due October 3rd according to last period, this is baby #6 for us !

kolache3 · January 2017

Right around 4 weeks--give or take a bit due to late ovulation. Some heartburn off and on, a poking feeling and some light occasional cramps (mostly gassy cramps) feeling a little icky when I'm hungry, crying/emotional, and the same story with that discharge!

allowe · January 2017

Were you also on the oct 2015 board a couple yrs ago?!? Your username looks familiar! That'd be crazy if we had two babies right around the same time!!

s_corrigall · January 2017

I'm 4w5d. My biggest symptom is fatigue. 6:00 every night I crash, then I wake up around 8 and can't get back to sleep until 2ish.

The other thing I'm struggling with is food, I'm hungry, but nothing is appetizing to me. I have to force myself to eat because it's all so awful. If I could get through the whole pregnancy only drinking apple juice, I'd be gold.

HeartItRaces · January 2017

At only 3w5d I have no symptoms other than fatigue...but I know it will all be starting soon!

nhoover88 · January 2017

Hello everyone!

I'm 4+6. In the beginning I had nausea, but then I would eat & it would go away. Now I have no nausea. I think you can read Braille off my forehead! Haha! It is slowly clearing up. I eat 20 times a day...it feels like! I burp a lot! I wake up between 2-3:30 every night to pee & eat. Sometimes I can go back to sleep, other nights I toss & turn. I'm not sure where my brain went because I now forget stuff all the time....like to put your pants on before you put your shoes on!!

kolache3 · January 2017

No, this is my first pregnancy ☺ I've been on TB for a while because I was on TK and Ive read posts and articles but I've never posted anything I'm pretty sure

mommac2017 · January 2017

@nmingram, I forgot about how forgetful I am!!! I went to the library with DS the other day and totally left my jacket and his snowsuit just randomly on a chair. We went into our story time program and half hour later I realized my jacket (with my cell phone and CAR KEYS) were sitting in a different room in the public library!!!!! How stupid! Baby brain is very real!

RileyG2218 · January 2017

I am 5 weeks today. I have no real symptoms yet. My boobs hurt and I check them several times a day to make sure they still do. I had some red spotting last night and was ready to give up but my DH helped me get some positivity back. I didn't realize how hard PGAL would be mentally.

kkerner87 · January 2017

4w+6. Super, super, SUPER tired. Could be becaue I'm chasing after my 17 month old this time around. I go to sleep like right after her 8pm bed time! No nausea (none with my first either. Dont hate me, lol). Boobs mildly sore. Lots of aches and paons and mild cramping on and off since like 7dpo.

s_corrigall · January 2017

@nmingram @mommac2017 Mommy brain sucks! I was trying to leave work on Friday, had my jacket on, bag packed up, but I couldn't find my phone. I looked everywhere and finally used the phone in my classroom to call my cell only to discover that it had been in my hand the whole time!

Here's to making stupid mistakes and feeling like an idiot for the next nine months and beyond!

relax&smile2 · January 2017

SwtAnana- I'm right there with you! A bit of cramping, which makes me so nervous, and lots of CM. I keep running to the bathroom to make sure it's not blood.

I found out really early because I have such long cycles (34-36 days). I took a first response EPT and it caught my pregnancy when my HCG was only 8! The doctor is shocked I got a BFP then, but my number kept going up so it's looking good. With my daughter my morning sickness started at week 6, praying I somehow avoid that this time because it was so terrible...

laeberge3 · January 2017

4+2 and feeling generally okay. I have on and off cramping/pulling and my boobs are sore. I'm getting tired very easily as well, but so far, no food aversions.

Mommaswizz · January 2017

4+2 Here. Physical symptoms: light cramping. Non-physical: totally weepy and emotional

emwj10187 · January 2017

5 weeks today. My most noticeable symptom is sore boobs. I had to buy a new bra a couple days ago. They are huge, and very sore. I've been pretty tired as well, and around the same time every day (like 4:30pm) i get like a wave of dizziness and nausea. I've also had some mild cramping on and off. This is my first pregnancy, so i'm watching every single little change, twinge, burp & cramp like a hawk. Congratulations to you all!

sdarling2010 · January 2017

4+2 today. Crazy sore boobs, cramping, peeing all the time (3 times last night, ugh) and waking at the crack of dawn! All things I had with DD but completely forgot about, of course!

Oh and the exhaustion, the sheer exhaustion.

Started having the "I need food now" feeling today. I want to eat all the time!

Fingers crossed the nausea/vomiting stays away for a few more weeks!

SwtAnana · January 2017

Over the past couple of days I've been having a fullness/achey feeling on the right side - similar feeling I get after ovulation on that side. I wouldn't describe it as painful and there's no spotting but I'm paranoid that this means it's ectopic?? I'm having a U/S this week to verify that it's an intrauterine pregnancy (standard procedure at my clinic) but for those of you who've been pregnant before, is this something you've experienced??

sharondahall · January 2017

Ladies, I suppose because this is my first pregnancy I'm relating many of the early pregnancy signs to PMS.

When I stop to really think I suppose that I'm a bit sleepy throughout my day. I've had this off and on headache. I've had heartburn a few times. I have this weird taste (metal like) in my mouth at all times. Excessive saliva. Oh and I'm hungry but no taste for anything in particular.

I guess all this is normal lol, I can't wait to my doc visit so I can go in with all my questions!

kolache3 · January 2017

I'm having similar feelings! Never been pregnant before but I think it's nothing to worry about!

sharondahall · January 2017

@kolache3 it's so weird but I'm nervous and super excited all at the same time... it's like although my symptoms have yet to really hit hard, I'm feeling so different already... I have no idea if it's truly my body or me creating my own symptoms with all this information overload I'm doing! Lol

happy for all of us!
