Nausea just hit me for the first time this morning. I never had it with DS. It was sudden enough I started wondering if I'd put bad milk on my cereal, even though we go through milk way too fast for it to ever go bad. Other than that, still tired all the time and my boobs are sore which is super awesome when DH tries to reach over and spoon me.
@britmanering73 OMG now I want a blueberry muffin more than
anything. I am so with you on the just sitting at my desk… it is SO hard for me
to care about work when I’m growing a human.
@EmilyLove25 I wanna say the carpal tunnel really started bothering me somewhere in the middle of the 2nd trimester for both pregnancies. Definitely NOT looking forward to it!
No nausea yet, and my "growing pains" in my back and hips feel wayyyyy better. I am EXHAUSTED- I sleep through every lunch break on a huge bean bag in my office, haha! And this morning in the shower, when the water hit my nips, I audibly YELPED. My boobs feel tender and heavy, definitely worse/achier when I first take off my bra.
Me: 32 | DH: 32 DSS: 5- starting kindergarten this fall! TTC since our wedding: October 22, 2016 BFP #1 5/10/2017!!! *Sadly, we lost our sweet babe on 6/19/17 at 9 weeks, 2 days. But we are made of hope, and we'll be back here soon.*
@huntadventuresociety-2 I have been so exhausted too! And while my boobs have been starting to get a little tender, today 1 felt itchy come to find out I got bitten by a mosquito so I guess not a pregnancy symptom
I also ordered sea bands today. I've only had a little bit of nausea this far but I felt awful with my second and also pretty crappy with my first. I also ordered unisom and B6 today since i had a coupon. I plan to call my midwife before I take it. But I have two other kids to take care of this time so I'll need help. I didn't use either in my previous pregnancies so I hope they help.
@EmilyLove25 thanks for always being so positive. I feel less like a crazy person. I waves the white flag and called my doc for meds today. As much as I hated to, I was getting sick constantly for FIVE hours by that point.
@missblaze I tried the sea bands with DS. I'm not sure if I used them correctly but had to stop using because they started to hurt actually. I think there is a sweet spot where the pressure is supposed to be placed and I probably had them on wrong. I would love to know if they work for you!
Omg...I'm SO out of energy! It's partial tiredness and partial exhaustion, but I feel like it's more just no energy. I have stairs at my work and usually take them two at a time and can go up about 30, but now I go one at a time and at about stair 5 I feel like I have to stop and catch my breath and my muscles feel sore. I was even writing today and the muscles in my hand felt like they were getting a workout from hell.
Haha, @caeilievalor...that sounds like me! I live in a three story town house. Whenever I have to go from the bottom floor to the top, I end up out of breath, and needing to sit down for a minute. I usually can run those things, no problem.
I posted in a separate thread but awful diarrhea. It seems to be how my morning sickness is manifesting. And my doctor's office is sure it's not pregnancy-related. It is. Sigh. It's awful. I don't always know which end to point at the toilet.
@caeilievalor That has been freaking me out too. I usually hike 3 to 4 miles a day on the weekends but this last weekend I could only do about a mile or so, and I felt like I was totally out of breath and exhausted for nothing! So weird, huh?
@Gilsam1 and @caeilievalor - have you ever been at high altitude? That's exactly what this feels like to me. Easily winded, heart pounding at night, and having to pee constantly.
Does anyone else itch?? It's insane , at night my ankles and feet itch Along with my back under bra area my neck... what's wrong with me ?!?! Also if I sit too long my legs tingle like crazy this didn't happen with DD so I don't know if it's pregnancy related or if I have bed bugs ... jut kidding but seriously it's doooo annoying I'm going crazy ... and then I have the normal sore boobs , nauseous etc
Last night while cooking dinner I felt a wave of exhaustion come over me. I felt like I hadn't slept in three weeks all of the sudden! I had to stop what I was doing and went to bed and got a great night sleep only to wake up and still feel tired. Luckily I haven't been nauseous...yet. I hope those of you who are nauseous find something that works for you!
@mcrosie Yes!! That's a great way to explain it. I told DH that it feels like I ran 10 miles this morning and now just feel like I'm recovering. But the altitude thing makes total sense too!
I'm having some serious cramping tonight. I picked my son up a couple times today (he's 4 and in size 6 clothes, over 50 lbs) and spent the evening organizing our walk in closet, lifting boxes, sorting, etc. I think I just overdid it. I'm resting now with a ton of water. If I don't feel better in the AM I'll call my OB.
@ecolton01 omg the itching! Yes! I didn't even know this was a symptom but I mentioned it to my mom on the phone and she had the same thing! I guess it's because of our blood volume increasing so much so fast- same thing that's making everyone feel winded. @mcrosie@gilsam1
Such a bummer because DH and I got passes to climb Mt St Helen on July 1 MONTHS AGO, but I'm scared I won't be able to make it!

I just walked out of the bedroom and got a whiff of coffee and started dry heaving immediately. I love coffee. Pregnancy has turned me against the one thing I love the most in the world. GAHHHHH
Last night was awful. Didn't know whether to go to the bathroom or get sick. It's gone for the most part. Minor cramping but I took my first iron pill yesterday and I think I'm going to wait to speak with the OB in June. If it gave me those side effects, I'm good. I'll gobble down spinach all day long.
I'm a little delayed to this symptom thread since I didn't find anything unusual from normal pre-AF symptoms, I'm 4w+5d. I have been super tired, I'm yawning all the time at work and I feel like everyone is noticing it. Yesterday I was so distracted and tired that I barely did any work, and I have a TON! I also finally started to feel some boob pain, but only the left one and this morning my nipples started hurting. My bra feels super tight right now and I have it on the second clip, may move it to third. I'm also sitting on the bus, going to work, and feeling super nauseous. Normally I'm fine but every bump is killing me. Also, the cravings...but is that because I want delicious food or a craving...can't tell the difference. Just loving the grilled cheese right now.
@EmilyLove25 - how was the ultrasound?? @britmanering73 - can your DH bring me a muffin too??? @acunamatada - one sore boob too! Left side only, DH laughed at me. I swear it feels bigger too. I had him squeeze both but I don't think he noticed the difference but I sure as hell can feel it! @egirl1025 - when does placenta take over because I can't get enough sleep. *passes out while typing* Zzzzzzzzzz
Besides feeling fat, I STILL dont feel many symptoms, ive been crazy tired but even that went away a couple days ago. Im 7+5, and counting down the days to our first u/s next week to make me feel better about my lack of symptoms. I mean... My boobs havent even grown a tiny bit, and only the nipples hurt and only sometimes!
Shortness of breath is a hallmark of early pregnancy. In addition to feeling winded going up stairs, I was having trouble catching my breath while laying down last night. It has to do with changing hormones, body pumping more blood than usual, etc...
I had a long day at work yesterday, and it went on almost 2 hours longer than I expected. I got home, fell onto the couch, and started crying because I was so tired.
I slept through a Netflix movie (Escape from NY), went to bed and slept through the night. A relief after the regular 4am insomnia.
I'm struggling with nausea. I don't really want meat, but if I eat a meal with meat, I feel better for a bit, so I'm going to try to push protein.
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
@mcrosie I totally understand how you feel. I have always loved cheese, it's one of my favorite things; however, it would seem the baby does not care for it at all. Even typing this right now has made me a little queasy. Sad day
I slept so deep last night- went to bed at 8:30 and woke up to my alarm at 6:00. My favorite pregnancy symptom for sure. Of course, I'll be exhausted by 2pm lol
Symptoms wise I am tired. My boobs are sore (left more than the right though!) and that's about it. I did have some cramping for a couple days but that's gone. And I've felt gaggy at times but not nearly as often as with my other two pregnancies. The lack of nausea actually has me kind of worried! I mean who wishes for that but I'm used to being tired, not quite this tired but I work at 4am and I'm already a mom of two so tired isn't new to me, lol. The nausea would be a nice reminder sometimes that everything is headed in the right direction. Instead I'm left worrying and wondering if I'm going to wake up from a dream and not even be pregnant! I've got my heart set on this now so all I can do is wait until my first ultrasound on Monday!
Re: Symptoms: Week of 5/13-5/19
Other than that, still tired all the time and my boobs are sore which is super awesome when DH tries to reach over and spoon me.
