I've been feeling so much better the past few days that I'm mostly just trying to assume it's from seeing my chiropractor (had my first good day after seeing her) and enjoy it. But it's still kind of concerning!
Very low level of queasiness steady morning to night right now.. Sweating hot and rosy cheeks all day & lots of twinges and mild cramps. Right now I'm welcoming the symptoms as a good sign. Hcg levels seem to be low still.. not going to let that stress me out as that could work against me
All my symptoms seem to be getting stronger, which hopefully is a good thing. Today has been a whirlwind of feeling nauseous, lightheaded, emotional roller coaster, so tired....
Trying not to freak out because I feel pretty okay today. My breasts don't hurt and I had only I tiny bit of nausea this morning. Trying to not be anxious but it's hard.
@jess0211 I am in the same boat. I woke up with almost no breast soreness and have been poking them all day lol. No nausea today either maybe some quesyness in the morning. I've already hit google on this one already and it looks like it's normal for symptoms to come and go in early pregnancy.
This time and last, my symptoms would come and go during the first tri. Don't worry yourselves about it too much. Just try your best to enjoy the days you don't want to puke, because tomorrow you probably will again
I had one day in week 6 where ALL my symptoms vanished and I of course freaked out. The next day I have my symptoms back full force I think it's normal for them to come and go , even if it does cause quite the panic when they all dissappear.
No nausea, just so exhausted, I've basically been going to bed after I put my sons to bed at 7:30. I miss having the energy to have alone time after my kids go to bed. But so excited to be pregnant!
No nausea today, boobs are fine, and I was a little worried since I have so much energy today, but about an hour ago the fatigue hit hard, and apparently constipation is my new thing. Grrrr.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who spends the first tri terrified! Hugs to you all.
Nausea is getting worse. I have just hit the point in my pregnancy that I can no longer brush my teeth normally without gagging/dry heaving/puking, so that's fun. Boobs are sore, nipples are tender AF, and I'm crying at everything (cried 3 times watching Beauty and the Beast tonight!)

I'm just at 4+3 and I'm already nauseous. I also go from feeling extremely full all the time to super hungry, back to feeling so full after 2 bites! My boobs are extremely tender and I'm breaking out all over my chin. I NEVER get pimples so I really hate that one, haha. PGAL brain is so hard to deal with, so the symptoms are reassuring.

Yesterday my symptoms took a bit of a turn. I wasn't as tired yesterday, stayed awake until 10:30pm! score!! But extreme hunger and thirst hit me hard yesterday, as well as late in the day nausea. I REALLY REALLY HATE being nauseated and throwing up so I am doing my best to keep my tummy full to avoid that. So far it's worked ok, with yesterday being the worst I've had so far.
Boobs are still so full and sore. And if I'm cold and my nipples get hard, they will burn.... and that's kind of terrible. But I, like most of you are thankful for the symptoms... It keeps me away from peeing on sticks!

No nausea today (yet) but breasts are so sore and I still have that odd stretching/pulling/full feeling in my uterus. Anyone else having trouble sleeping comfortably? I feel like no matter what position I am something is uncomfortable or hurts a bit. Glad I have an ultrasound Thursday to calm my nerves.
@DuchessOfCambridge I bought a pregnancy pillow already to help with the uncomfortable sleeping. I felt kind of silly since I don't have a belly yet, but I have a lot of discomfort from what I assume is RLP stretching and pulling and the pregnancy pillow helps me get into comfortable positions.
Also, don't tell my husband, but the pillow is almost as good at snuggling as he is
We figured spending the money on something we could use at multiple stages was worthwhile. I'm a fan of this pillow -- the jersey covering is so comfy and the pillow really fits me right (I am 5'8 so I wanted something big enough for me).
DH bought me a snoogle last time. It's lovely and gets a lot of use around the house since DS likes to drag it around and snuggle in it. But if you get one, be aware it takes up as much room as another person in bed.
I doubt I'll use it much this time around since DS ends up in bed with us most nights and there just isn't room anymore.
Thanks @cmessamore@adirat@baycamp! I think I'll go with a pregnancy pillow since like @adirat said, it can be used all through pregnancy and after. I'll look into the PharMeDoc one!
@DuchessOfCambridge I was going to suggest a pregnancy pillow too. I got the snoogle recently and it has been a life changer. I don't know if you're on any mom buy/swap groups for your area on Facebook? If you are are it's worth a check there!
@DuchessOfCambridge I am having difficulty getting comfy as well, I toss and turn a lot and wake up a lot.
Symptoms are back today! Discharge, nausea if I get hungry, moody and similar to what @DuchessOfCambridge is feeling I think a bit of a pulling sensation.
Tailbone pain! I had to get a special cushion to sit on lol

Surprise! Unexpected BFP 2/22/17 just when we were about to start fertility treatment!
@DuchessOfCambridge A pillow is not something I'd buy second hand. Amazon for the win! PS I have the Leachco Body Bumper (they make the Snoogle) and it's big! I got it before getting KU at the advice of the chiropractor because of a herniated disc.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Too lazy to scroll up, but I think people were talking about thinking water has a weird taste now? Ugh that is so me today. I'm normally really happy with water aside from my one cup of tea a day (not that any pg-friendly tea sounds good either). I'm trying to think what I could flavor it with so I can stop hating life so much. Contemplating stalking the juice aisle until one sounds palatable lol. A couple weeks ago I was singing the praises of lemon water and now I'm feeling personally betrayed by how awful lemon sounds.
@ArtificialRed Yes I am disgusted by water, not helped by a uti that I've been flushing out with more water than anyone should need (plus meds). Today BF picked up pure, unsweetened cranberry juice. Mixing that with water is way better.
I woke up 7 times to pee last night. 7 times people.! At this rate I'm not going to get any sleep. And this is not itty bitty pee- it's like a gallon every time I go. Where is all that fluid coming from??
@bklynchica I've had a UTI already too. Just so happens that I stopped taking my probiotic when I found out I was pregnant because I wanted to run it by my dr. first and then got the UTI. It's a probiotic for women with cranberry stuff in it. I took it when I first had UTI symptoms and it really helped until I got a dr's appointment for antibiotics. I wouldn't use it as treatment by itself though because UTIs can obviously get worse.
Today I noticed a lot of bloating and gas pains, heartburn, irritability (sorry, DH! ) and shortness of breath. The SOB is so strange! Today I walked across the floor at work and back, and I noticed that I was breathing so heavily. But I'm welcoming some symptoms (for now). I am not positive of dates, but would guess 6 weeks. Anxiously looking forward to my first appointment!
Well the nausea has officially kicked in. I've been feeling nauseous since Thursday but yesterday and today have been terrible. I feel better right after I eat but after I eat my stomach starts grumbling like it's empty 20 minutes later. Very few foods sound appealing but I've found that once I start eating something it usually tastes good and I'm able to keep eating it even if I wasn't interested initially. The nausea lasts all day and I constantly feel on the verge of throwing up. This morning I finally did throw up. It was all bile and I've been a little concerned, but Dr. Google suggests that might be normal. I've honestly been wondering if what I have is a stomach bug since I don't know what's normal. While I feel bad for all of you suffering through symptoms, reading about them does help calm my anxiety!
The worst part is not knowing when this will go away and the possibility it might last for weeks. If this keeps up I'm definitely going to have to let my coworkers/boss know sooner than I was planning!
@LadyMeowMeow I find that maybe half the time if I can convince myself to eat something it ends up alright and half the time it's like trying to eat cardboard. The same foods have given me both reactions on different days. It's so frustrating. If I don't have to prepare it myself that definitely seems to help.
@bklynchica I'm not totally turned off by the idea of some tart cranberry water... maybe I could try it. Thanks for the suggestion.
