I'm suuuuper exhausted today. Dry heaved for about an hour this morning but then didn't fell nauseous again (only so so so tired) until like 5pm. Major improvement from the all day nausea I had before. My doctor suggested eating protein at nighttime right before I go to bed and I think that's really been helping!
Not very nauseous so far, but my stomach gets upset so easily, basically after every meal I have diarrhea. I'd actually prefer the diarrhea to N/V though, because with a previous pregnancy, I threw up multiple times a day for weeks. Also so irritable, bloated/gassy, and I get tired while exercising so quickly! Like I can't breathe after 30 seconds, when I was otherwise in pretty good shape when doing the same videos a month ago.
I hope all of our undesirable symptoms pass quickly for all of us!
@rosalie12 - me too with the upset stomach. I'm a little jealous of everyone who's constipated. I worked from home today and had to lead an entire call from my bathroom. Not my finest moment.
And the nausea is unreal. Thank the pharmaceutical gods for Zofran.

@DuchessOfCambridge I am super late to this discussion, but you shouldn't feel bad. You were trying to help. PGAL is so hard and I think our PGAL minds can go wild at any moment.
TW just in case- I am super nervous because I don't have any of the symptoms I had with my first pregnancy or really any symptoms other than exhaustion and irritability. I never had any nausea with DD, but I did have really sore boobs, which I don't have now, maybe they're not sore because I just finished breastfeeding DD 6 months ago?!? I don't know, grasping for straws. I'm 5w3d and my first US isn't until May 1. Maybe if I call my OB and tell her I'm freaking out then she'll see me earlier. She was my OB with DD and my precious miscarriage, so she gets me.
Edited to add: the irritability is real though. Everyone who speaks to me annoys me. I don't like that, I am generally a very friendly person. Plus I have to deal with people and teenagers all day everyday as an assistant principal, so that is no bueno.
@vppittman I feel similarly and am second guessing myself on all of my symptoms because they're not like before. (Ex. Maybe my stomach is just upset because of ..., etc.) But I wanted to tag you because I had really sore breasts for my first pregnancy, to the point of wanting to cry when putting on a bra, but I never had that symptom with my second pregnancy, and also not now with #3. I was also just finishing up BFing at the beginning of last and this pregnancy, like you mentioned. I don't know where I'm at for this pregnancy in terms of viability, but I know for sure that I had no breast tenderness at all with my son. I hope this helps.
Also, irritability. I feel you on that... and I don't think we should discount it. Hormonal changes and irritability are a very real thing! So I'm counting my crazy moods as a pregnancy symptom until I'm proven wrong.
@pawcall no, a call from the bathroom! That's the worst! I just had to continually excuse myself at work last night, for like an hour, twice. So embarrassing.
I'm starting to get worried because in the last 2 days I feel like all my symptoms have gone away! Not as tired, less constipation, little to no nausea! Which is good, but concerning. I feel like right now symptoms are supposed to be the worst! Ugh... I never thought I'd be glad to feel like puking! And I still have 3 w until we go see the midwife again.
@MississippiCatfish my doctor suggested not doing anything in my bed except trying to sleep. So no reading or being on my phone and it kind of worked.... mostly I think I pregnancy pillow saved my insomnia.
Woke up this morning and my ENTIRE body is aching. Like. ACHING. Plus I've got this headache. Anyone have this? I haven't even been able to get out of bed yet.

Yes. I've woken up feeling like this the last couple days, too, but I've chalked it up to not sleeping well?
@kissthesky32 it's the worst! 2:30-4:30 here. At least I got a delicious PB sandwich in.
You know what I crave...raw mango with some salt rubbed on it...yum!! Lol so weird. - thought it was just me! Except mine has been slices of lime in ice water with a pinch of salt...like a virgin Margarita almost.
Oh my, dentist appt. was rough. Luckily the hygienist and dentist were super understanding. I know you STMs warned me, I should have heeded your warnings!
@MississippiCatfish insomnia is one of my most annoying symptoms and it was even terrible with my first pregnancy. If I wake up in the middle of the night I'm up for hours. It sucks.
I didn't get to sleep until after midnight after trying by 8. I was too tired to cook and DH was working a 24. Next, I couldn't sleep because I was hungry. Then I couldn't sleep because I had heartburn. After that, I couldn't sleep because my boobs didn't feel so sore and my bloating / constipation have lessened, so I was worrying. I finally fell asleep and had dreams like all night, so I feel like I didn't get any shut eye.
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*
The nausea is real today. I can't complain too much because I mostly don't have nausea. Today, however, I could easily puke in my trash can. Only thing holding me back is that I don't know what to do with it after that!
I threw up at work for the first time yesterday. Luckily, made it to the bathroom. So close to puking in my trashcan @DuchessOfCambridge but I too though, well, then what? So, that gave me the extra little bit of strength I needed to make it down the hall to the bathroom.
Now today..... no sickness at all! I swear it's like one day on one day off, two on, two off. SO STRANGE. I'll take it though, I've been able to eat 2 donuts and a veggie sub already today!
This is going to be gross so consider yourself warned..... I just spontaneously threw up my lunch. Like zero warning, I was only moderately nauseous. Just suddenly threw up in to my bowl. It caught me totally off guard.
@baycamp my friend who just had a baby told me that was a thing I could look forward to haha. Though she was way more sick her first two months than I am.
My nausea is the same... totally fine one day (or most of the day) and then randomly OMG I'm going to throw up everywhere!! nausea hits out of nowhere. So strange!
I still don't have nausea like you ladies. Just this odd quest feeling like sitting on a roller coaster. Not sure exactly how to describe it. But it's there all the time. It will go away for a bit when I eat but otherwise it's like constant. I don't know if I should complain cause it's there all the time or be thankful it's not severe enough to make me want to throw up.
So, I've been totally drooling all over my pillows at night, and I just read that it's a pregnancy symptom. So weird. Also, @DuchessOfCambridge looks like I'm joining the diarrhea plus constipation group. WTF is with this?

@lahansen I've noticed I have so much drool too! Didn't know why but I'll be laying on the couch watching tv and I can't keep it in my mouth! WTF... I'll take any symptom though I guess
There seems to be a popular perfume worn by people throughout the hospital, no it's not an antiseptic, to me it smells like bug spray. I know it's a perfume s heightened sense of smell is not a wanted trait at my job.
So much gas. My poor BF! Finished the antibiotics yesterday morning and right now I feel good. Boobs still sore, stomach still gurgly, still can't think of anything I'd like to eat, but I feel like a human. Don't know if it's because the meds were messing me up, or because the bladder infection is treated, or because something is wrong, or just normal fluctuation in symptom severity. One thing that has not disappeared is my worry.
Today was a disaster! I started throwing up at 6am and feels like I didn't stop until 6pm (hurled at least 7 times in between) Had to take all 4 kids downtown on public transit by myself so they could have a supervised visit with their mom, almost didn't make it, probably should have cancelled but didn't want my step kids to be disappointed. I am DRAINED now. So tired, suddenly very hungry so that's good ( i hope!) Hope all you ladies have a wonderful sleep after a long day of symptoms and I hope that our second trimesters come fast and are as wonderful and glorious as promised!
Massive massive headache that won't go away. I'm very tempted to take a Tylenol but I have no energy to go check if it's safe to take it. I think I remember that it is but right now I have a tight band around my head to keep me functional and just wanting to sleep but I can't. I have a feeling this headache is not necessarily pregnancy related but I think it's due to indigestion. Agh go away!
@DuchessOfCambridge add me to the diarrhea + constipation party! It's so weird! Omg I'm so glad to hear other people are drooling... I thought it was just me and it's so weird! Right now I've got such major stomach discomfort. Sometimes it's true nausea and the rest of the time it just feels totally distended and uncomfortable. I can't find a position to sit/stand/lie down that I can tolerate. On top of it I've got this awful cold and can't breathe out my nose. My poor husband can't figure out what to do to help, all I want to do is cry!
Anyone else feeling really uncomfortable driving? I feel like I've had to do a lot of long distance driving lately and the bloat up under my ribs is killing me! I can imagine that it will only get worse as time goes on
