eggplantface · June 2017

The past couple of days I've woken up famished, had breakfast, then slowly started to lose my appetite by late morning, until no food sounds appetizing by dinner. I don't know if that's baby or the food I eat at lunch, because I randomly get nauseated without pregnancy too. No urge to vomit yet, so that's good.

mamajenna_cnm · June 2017

I couldn't tell if I was hungry or nauseous at lunch time, so I went ahead and indulged in a super yummy lunch...I was satisfied for about 30 minutes until the afternoon nausea rush took over. Everything I ate keeps flashing through my mind and it's taking everything I have not to puke. I just popped a diclegis, so now not only am I having to fight the nausea, I'll have to fight the fatigue. Oh. P.s. Hormotional - wanting to cry with every patient I have seen today. Not ok!

Zoey1019 · June 2017

My nausea comes and goes, but it really starts in the morning. Even though I eat a snack before bed I wake up with a pit in my stomach from the hunger, eat some saltines and wake up and try to wip up something else to eat really quick. Then I feel my food aversions mainly the beginnging of the day, through lunch, but most of the times by dinner I am pretty normal! Food still isn't super appetizing, but I can stomach it for sure.

Other than that, my boobs hurt SO BAD, different than just progesterone pain. And I love to cry...so that fun! lol

I feel like a bloated gaseous giant planet. I walk around most of the day looking 3 months pregnant with gas coming out of both ends. The worst is first thing in the morning and late at night.

anyone else confused by the boob thing? I have no noticeable change in my boobs at all. Maybe it's because I have an extra small chest..?

other symptoms- on and off nausea, fatigue, breakouts.

and back pain. lots of back pain.

^ All of this except my boobs hurt.

4 weeks 1 day, so nothing has really started for me yet. Only thing is I can telling my pressure is starting to drop. Ive also been having terrible headache but I think I will blame that on the fact I've been limiting my caffeine intake.
Nervous to see what the next few weeks hold. I wasn't really sick with #1 so we will see what this pregnancy has in the cards.

ladybug0088 · June 2017

Anyone else having this tugging and pinching pain? I may have overdone it today playing outside in the heat with my toddler at the zoo, but I'm exhausted and feel a mild pinching on my right side. It's really uncomfortable.

Chawk17 · June 2017

@kbelly777 I only have sore pms boobd..im average size D. I've heard that can take awhile for some..or not at all.

I'm in average shape, good weight. But I've noticed if I excert myself im instantly winded. Climbed stairs, did a short jog to catch up to DH. Anyone else out of breath easily?

me! I hate it! I have been in such good shape leading up to this, and IVF just killed it, now I can't even walk fast without getting out of breath pretty quickly. I am not going back to the gym until 2nd tri because our gym isn't air conditioned and I have read not so good things about working out in temperatures higher than 100 in first tri(Floridian here).

I have this. I looked at early posts on TB from my pregnancy with my son and I had it then too.

I almost threw up on my toothbrush today

Yep! Last night was brushing me teeth spit out the toothpaste and then flipped to toilet and threw up. Gross!

So I gagged every single time I brushed my teeth last pregnancy, but this time I'm using Tom's Cinnamon Clove toothpaste and for some reason it seems to help. I know it's still early in my upcoming weeks of morning sickness (sob!) but I realized yesterday that brushing my teeth has been no issue so far this time around.

Just putting it out there, since I know anything helps during these weeks.

So I had HG with 2 prior pregnancies and was always on zofran. Now I can feel it ramping up so I called my MD for a script. Apparently now the recommendation is for diclegis or the over the counter equivalent. The copay for diclegis was $185. Given I'll need it most likely the entire time as I did with last 2 pregnancies I'm glad there is an over the counter equivalent. I'd recommend talking with your Doctor if the copay is very high to get the over the counter equivalent. My copay for prior pregnancies with the zofran was less than $10 so it was a big difference.

I called for it this morning as well. The drowsiness side effect of diclegis makes me not want to take it.

sadalyn · June 2017

Hi guys! I'm 6w2d and the nausea is starting. Pretty mild but there. My boobs hurt almost all the time, tho sometimes worse than others. Exhausted and always on th verge of tears. The one troubling symptom I get is cramping. Usually when I'm eating. I have two previous losses so any cramps at all make me so anxious. But the remaining symptoms are still good signs, yes!? Any STMs want to share cramping stories that led to healthy babies? I could use some positivity today.. it's been hard to not fear the worst!

ladybug0088 · June 2017

Ugh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I don't remember it at all. I almost called my OB today to talk to the nurse. I'm so sore!

Chawk17 · June 2017

@awb1216 thanks for the tip. I'm going to try it.
@msunshine123 what is HG?

azmamatobe · June 2017

Sore breasts, much lighter nausea after doc prescribed meds for it (her exact words last appt; "You look horrible and completely exausted. Would you like help?") Meds initially gave me diahrea which was no fun but now we've settled on the other end of the spectrum; bring on the constipation -__-

ashhsa · June 2017

@sadalyn I cramped all the way through last pregnancy- I have an 17mth old and am again this time, I know it's hard not stress- but unless it's quite painful- it's normal.

heatherdubrow · June 2017

I think I need help. I just googled 'early pregnancy, one itchy armpit'.

ashhsa · June 2017

@hea@heatherdubrow you have made my day!

that is wayyy too funny! These hormones drive us mad and make us question every itch and twitch- I may not have googled this exact thing but probably every other thing!

Zoey1019 · June 2017

@heatherdubrow Seriously!? I have one too!

I also find that I am getting really really bad razor burn now, like to the point I where I don't know how I will shave my legs...I didn't think it was pregnancy related but I work in derm and they said your skin gets sensitive and crazy things can happen. Your itchy armpit might be from shaving! You made my morning when you posted that....hahah

MrsJ2410 · June 2017

@heatherdubrow @Zoey1019 SAME I thought maybe it was because I switched to natural deodorant but I also get really bad razor burn on my legs now and they are always itchy even if I moisturize.

Zoey1019 · June 2017

@MrsJ2410 I am finding this conversation hilarious! I am glad I am not the only one with random HORRIBLE razor burn...

MrsJ2410 · June 2017

@Zoey1019 It's pretty funny, especially since I would consider myself a crazy symptom spotter, yet failed to put those two things together now.

Chawk17 · June 2017

SAME- I hate shaving my legs it hurts. But no armpit issues yet.

Ps. Am I crazy or did the home page how big your baby is change. Example I'm 6 weeks but it's giving me info for 4 weeks ( I get the subtract 2 weeks)..but I thought I was developing organs now I'm back to a shrimp.

heatherdubrow · June 2017

Omg @Zoey1019 @MrsJ2410 @Chawk17 I'm so glad I'm not the only crazy!!

the_other_mother · June 2017

@Chawk17 I have the same issue with the homepage. I'm 4 weeks but it's telling me the info for "2" weeks. Which says, "you aren't actually pregnant yet." It thinks I'm about to ovulate. Nope. Already pregnant, bump! Get it together!

seitzy3 · June 2017

Not many symptoms over here. Not quite at the 5 week mark yet. With my other four (3 successful) pregnancies, I had raging all day sickness. I'm just going to enjoy and try not to worry about no symptoms. Well, besides being extremely tired but I could also blame that on three crazy kiddos

eggplantface · June 2017

@Zoey1019 I'm getting more red/swollen follicles on my legs, but I chalked it up to it being summer and I sweat more. I'll have to start using an exfoliator scrub on my legs!

Last night I went to bed and suddenly got ravenously hungry and wanted Lucky Charms. Luckily there are none in the house. This morning I woke ravenously hungry and ate eggs. Since then I've been getting more and more nauseated. I spent so long trying to get pregnant that it didn't occur to me how much it can really suck.

seltzerinstead · June 2017

I am 5w6d today. Still have sore boobs but that's about it. Have not been as tired this week so that's good. I had fatigue, cramping (not exactly like period cramps, more of a dull ache than the pulsing period cramps) around 3.5-4.5 weeks but that's gone.
I def feel worse when i don't get enough sleep. Maybe was a little nauseous this morn but went away after bfast. Puking is my worst fear (just in general) so anytime I feel even slightly nauseous I get anxious and then Idk if it's actually nausea or just anxiety!

the_other_mother · June 2017

@eggplantface did you know that burger King has a lucky charm milkshake?!

Yes to all of this!! I woke up at 4AM today and had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. I have found that if I have something right before I go to bed....like in bed with me I don't wake up wanting to vomit as much! Win!!

soulcupcake · June 2017

I've been craving bunless bacon cheeseburgers. I can't decide whether it's just me being me, as my husband told me, or if it's a legit craving. Give me all the bacon.

And dark chocolate.

mommaSG · June 2017

Everytime i see food i want to chow down like the pizza commercials but everytime i start to eat what i thought looked and sounded good but it ends up making me sick. I sunburn like crazy and i am always tired but can never sleep well.

eggplantface · June 2017

I went to the closest Burger King to my house, milkshake machine is broken.

I drank milk when I got home and felt instantly less nauseated. I think ice cream is just what I need. All the time.

Yeeesss!! I had a milkshake for lunch the other day!! It was glorious.

meatballs37 · June 2017

For those of you suffering from heartburn. My OB put me on protonix in my third trimester last time and it was a lifesaver!

the_other_mother · June 2017

Does anyone else have an insatiable appetite right now?? I don't remember it being like this with my first pregnancy. MS hasn't kicked in for me yet so I'm trying to get as many calories in as I can.

runsoncoffee · June 2017

I am so bloated already!! STM... and had to rip off my shorts this evening because they felt so tight. I'm only 4 weeks lol... am I crazy?!
