I feel like nothing fits already I have bought some dresses that are more comfortable but not sure if I should go up a size in pants or start buying maternity pants. A little frustrating
Yes my DH laughs at me because i just cant get comfortable for the life of me. Plus the second my bra comes off its like they become bowling balls. Not to mention the bloating thats going on makes it even more of a pain. Plus we have no a/c and its been 70 at night

Me too!! I am so bloated. I just bought a pair of cheap jeans a size up and lots of summer dresses. Don't want to buy too much bc I don't know what my body is going to do.
@tgrdance05 I felt like the cramping was more intense this time than with my DD too. It was especially bad the first week after my missed period. It really got me in my head worrying about it. This last week it hasn't been as bad...still some cramping on and off but not as intense as those first ones...FYI I'm 5w6d today.

@jensjourney thank you, that definitely makes me feel reassured. I've been anxious about it the last 12 hours. I'm trying to think positive and relax. This phase between BFP and first US is the worst
Very moody. I started with the nausea on and off very mild through out the day. Occasionally cramping.....I'm fatigue and get light headed very easily. I'm still working out I feel like I get a boost of energy after it. I'm about six weeks.
Yes! Like everyone else it's the bloat and exhaustion.
I'm getting worried about the boat… Because, like I have mentioned on other threads, I had strangers asking me if I was pregnant at 10 weeks because the bloat was so bad. Hoping I can wait till my ultrasound at nine weeks. Looks like lots of flowy clothes for me in the next few weeks LOL
Dear diary, haha. I noticed that a lot of us are dealing with fatigue as one of our main symptoms. I'm a stm and this was of of the symptoms that stuck through my whole pregnancy. I mean of course we're tired we're growing humans! Plus I always joked that it's just preparing us for sleepless nights and chasing toddlers. Last pregnancy I let it totally overcome me though, I'd get home from work and sleep for hours. I only have 2 weeks left of work before my summer holidays and I want to have a fun summer with my 14 month old and husband and not miss out because I'm sleeping! Plus I'll have my 14 month old with me all day everyday so I need to be awake! Wondering if anyone has found ways to fight against the fatigue without drinking a whole pot of coffee, haha.
6w5d here and I'm on board with all the normal symptoms. but I feel like my exhaustion is over the top. this is my 3rd pregnancy and so I know having 2 littles to keep up with will make me more tired but, cmon this blows! All I wanna do is sleep! Plus I just got hit with a stomach bug a few days ago and I just feel like I can't get ahead now!
Okay here's a dilemma. I gotta have all the water. Hated water my whole life and now I can't get enough. But then I chug it and then feel nauseous... the cold water is sitting in my throat. Sigh. I know, slow down and sip the water. But it's so good.
Anyone having brown spotting(sorry TMI)?Called my OB and he said it's normal as long as it's not red blood and doesn't soak a pantyliner. A little bit worried to see spotting. 5+3

It can be normal. I had it with my first and third pregnancies and everything was fine. The knowledge that it could be normal didn't stop me from being a nervous wreck though

As @sabriel1 said, it can be normal. I had it around 8 weeks and again at 13 weeks with my second. It was nerve wracking but try to remember that it can be very common.
Headaches....oh the headaches. Usually dull, just annoying. And hungry all the time! I eat, then just a couple hours later I'm hungry again. Trying to keep healthier choices available at the house. I'm only 4w3d.
Edited: because the bloat is real here too. I'm a bigger lady so it's not that noticeable but I can tell!
The bloat arrived full force in the past few days. I have next to no appetite thanks to bad nausea, so the big bulging belly is particularly annoying (if I'm gonna be bloated, I'd at l least like beer and pizza to be the cause). Im small framed so it feels very noticeable. Hopefully some gasx will help at least a little bit (gasx is safe for pregnancy- hallelujah!)
Gas, bloating, quesiness, a lot of mild cramps, peeing a ton, hungry, and last night my cramps and need to pee woke me up for the first time. Sleeping more, fatigue today and a lack of desire to do anything bc I'm tired and gassy.

I would definitely add emotional to my growing list of symptoms. I just read an article on another pregnancy site about how being pregnant around the holidays is the best...and it had me in a tears! An article written in June about Christmas had me crying! I think what got me is that I absolutely love Christmas and even though I won't actually have a little one yet to share it with, just being around my family and all of our traditions is going to feel so comforting and warm. Is it wrong that I am already excited for this winter
I couldn't hold out any longer and had to break out the morning wellness tea for my queasy tummy. 5w5d. Did not have these symptoms this early with my first two!
@krjones328 I think this is the first time ever that I've been excited for winter!

Everything normal except treated for ureaplasma and DH potentially has high DNAF. BFP Dec. 25, 2017; EDD Sep. 5, 2018; DD arrived Aug. 26th My chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/63f71d
Is anyome else having some serious food aversions. Everything sounds amazi g but once it starts to cook or i take a bite, i end up tossing it. However fruits with cool whip and veggies like corn on the cob seems to be all i can eat. Even ice cream turns me off now. Its kind of depressing because i love food my curves prove it. Lol i meab i am happy baby makes me want to eat healthy but even tea and pop are horrible to me now and can only stomach veggie juice and ice cold water
The exhaustion is for real. I don't remember being this tired the first time around!!! I'm falling asleep on the couch right after DD goes to bed every night. It's my only symptom too! My boobs are a tiny bit sore on occasion, but I'm really just so...damn...tired.
My two big symptoms are the exhaustion and big time bloat! I feel like I'm showing already and I'm only 5 weeks! I was never this tired with my first pregnancy and I am hoping the morning sickness isn't as bad as the last one!
Heartburn is killing me! I've never experienced heartburn like this before, maybe only very few times with DS, but this is something FIERCE. MS showed up right on schedule at 5w+5d so between the two I am not going great.
Well, let's start with today I'm 5w 2d and nausea has hit me already. I was sick my entire last pregnancy up until a week before my EDD. I've been pretty tired this time around but nothing debilitating yet. Nipples are SO SORE my 20mo nurses occasionally (about twice/day) and I'm desperate to wean her asap.
Im writing this as I'm on the couch trying to get my nauseous stomach pain to go away
I'm 6w 4d right now and the nausea/morning sickness has hit me full force. I can't keep anything down except French fries and saltines. I really tried to eat well today, even had a salad for lunch. Guess the baby didn't like it! Haha. I didn't have morning sickness this early on with DD1.
4+6 today... not much symptom wise- very thirsty, a tiny bit crampy if i haven't sat in a long time, and like my last pregnancy I'm not actually nauseous but I will suddenly be very turned off by food. That continued throughout my last pregnancy so wouldn't be surprised if it did this time too (I'll gladly take it if it means I don't have morning sickness!).
