Not sure if this is the right board to ask this so forgive me but I'm a wreck today. After having a few days on and off of brown spotting, doctors told me to let them know if I get any heavy red blood or if my syptoms suddenly stop. I haven't had any red bleeding and so far today no brown discharge but my breasts that have been tender since finding out suddenly feel completely normal today. Other than gas, constant urination and vivid dreams (the frequent urination and dreams are still present) I haven't had any other symptoms yet anyway. I tried to put my mind at ease this morning by taking a clearblue digital with weeks indictator and it only came up as 2-3 weeks (I'm 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow) so now I'm just lying in bed crying convinced I've had a missed miscarriage. I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow but we don't usually get a first scan in the UK until 12 weeks
@mrsp85 so sorry you are experiancing this. I'm sure you if tell the midwife all of your concerns- especially regarding discharge and that you don't feel you have many symptoms of pregnancy- the midwife will have to send you for an ultrasound or for bloods, If she/he doesn't- ask for one from your dr, you shouldn't have to wait.! There is still a strong chance that everything is fine! You will be in my thoughts, and I'll be praying for a positive outcome for you. X
@ashhsa thank you. I'm definitely going to push for an earlier ultrasound. I'm on holiday with my husbands family (who don't know I'm pregnant yet) when I reach 12 weeks and I'd really like to put my mind at rest before then. Fingers crossed all will be ok!
I am here if u need someone to talk to. Ut honestly i was in the same boat as you. My symptoms come and go and have not hardly been as bad as others my biggest thing is wanting to eat but everything sou ds and smells horrible. Each pregnancy is different and you shouldnt compair your to others
Oh my goodness I can't believe I missed out the vivid dreams!! It's my biggest symptom! I started getting really vivid, long detailed dreams a few days before I tested (I can only assume from the day I implanted and officially became pregnant) - every single night since then I've had long, very real and sometimes VERY wierd dreams! Please tell me some of you are experiencing the same? I find them hilarious and enjoyable so long as the content isn't upsetting!
I'm loving mine! I had a friend pass away last year and as strange as it is it's almost like having him back a little bit! They are so crazy vivid!
10 weeks tomorrow (with new due date) and still having some nausea although it has been concentrated now to the end of the day. I'm super hungry at dinner time and as soon as I see the food it's just not appetizing, I take a few bites and am full instantly and nauseous the rest of the night.
Breast tenderness has gotten better, still a little sore when I wake up in the morning.
I'm with your girls on the vivid dreams symptom!
Still getting very bloated at night. And this is going to sound lame but I swear one night when I was laying still with DS in his bed I felt a tiny vibration-like feeling way down low in my pelvis, almost felt like it was on a bone it was so low. Haven't felt it since but I'm almost certain it was movement based on what DS felt like, although that was way later on.
Oh, almost forgot, everything I eat or drink has started leaving a bad, metallic taste in my mouth. I had the same issue with DS too except it was worse because my mouth tasted metallic almost constantly. Right now I can at least drink water or brush my teeth to make it go away.
No big symptoms this week. Just exhaustion and feeling slightly nauseous throughout the day. I get more nauseous if I get hot or tired. A little bit of insomnia but nothing too extreme. At least I don't have a coffee aversion....yet. fingers crossed it stays that way! Some lower abdomen tightening and RLP if I've been walking around a lot or moving suddenly. (Thanks toddler) lol
That's what I'm thinking too! I'm down to just ramen, sour candy, and peanut butter toast. Bagel and cream cheese sounds good though. I need more protein. I have nausea 24/7, thankfully only vomited once.
On a side note, every time I see the name of the cravings board, it makes me queasy. No cravings, just aversions here.
@mrsp85 I really hope you can get in with a doctor soon and find out what's going on. Keep us posted.

Break an egg into your chicken ramen towards the end and mix it up so it cooks through for extra protein... i consider it like a noodly egg drop soup
The last two days I've been nauseous all day long to the point of tears (I don't usually cry so I'm sure that's hormone related). We are going on an 8 day vacation to the beach and I'm full of dread about the drive because I get carsick. I'm hoping to drive a lot.
Okay so this is more of a symptoms rant. All i want to do is eat. My mind and body are telling me i need to. I see food on tv and it sounds and looks good but the thought of me eating it makes my stomach feel like its doing polevolts. I was ctaving tacos and for 2 days ai ate them but now they make me sick just loomi g at the ingredients in the fridge. I now want supreme pizza or Chinese food. What sucks even more is my DH and i are serverly stapped on money til august when i finally start my job that my cravings cant be satisfied and notbing i have but frozen water seems to settle my stomach ughhhh

Have you tried sour candies? Or things like preggie pops or queasy drops? They help me a lot. And my friend swears by sea bands!

I'm on the "feeling little symptoms so low key freaking out" ship. A little nausea but not nearly as bad as last time. But, I'm also just now 6ish weeks (US on Friday) so kinda feel like a bomb about to go off. Been super tired, waking up a lot which stinks because DD is finally becoming a better sleeper!
So is anyone else super horny & in love with their SO? OMG I can't stop checking him out! Happened with my first pregnancy too.
I wish! That's how I was with my first. And of course, I was put on pelivc rest at 20 weeks due to a shortened cervix. It made me so emotional because DH would turn me down but I know he was just keeping my hormonal self in check lol.

Same. So frustrating. I'm so hungry, I wasn't this hungry this early in my first pregnancy. I put on a heap of weight in my last pregnancy, and managed to lose all, I really don't want to have to go through it again, as I was so hard. Superficial I know, but it was also physically uncomfortable, it hurt my hips, my feet and made the end of pregnancy hard!!

I'm going to try to sea bands and queasy drops. I have some lemon juice freezing in ice trays right now. It helped with my last pregnancy. I love sour candy, but have no self control. I would literally have a war head baby bump! Haha
@mrsp85 I just started to have light brown discharge this morning so I'm worried too. Especially being PGAL, I'm actually going in for an ultrasound today. Try not to worry too much, I know easier said than done. I've read that it is somewhat commen and not to worry unless the blood is bright red.
It appears I won't be lucky enough to skip over the all day nausea/sickness with this pregnancy like I did with my son. I feel nauseous when I'm hungry and then as soon as I eat anything I feel like I'm too full and need to puke. This is fun.
@mrsp85 me! The dreams are making me nuts. I'm also taking progesterone so I think that's part of the reason I'm having them more often because I don't recall dealing with them this early with my other pregnancies. They're mainly slightly nsfw with "the one that got away" except last night, it was with a guy I worked with for six months over ten years ago and I was never attracted to him in the slightest. Wtf, mind?! *tw we had a loss at 9 weeks between our two boys and I think it's effected my husband more than he lets on because I think he is avoiding sexy time end tw* which is really making me sad because I'm missing the affection. I mean, I get it but still. maybe that's playing a part in my weird dreams?! Lol.. otherwise I'm just a little nauseous off and on but no puking yet, thankfully. Also, I live in the southwest and this time of year it's like living on the sun it's so hot. By the end of the day I'm sooo cold. I usually sleep in sweats and a hoodie. Such a weird symptom but I was like that my other pregnancies too.
I'm so bloated I just caved and bought some maternity clothes online. Target is having a sale btw, $10 maternity jeans & $4 shirts! But it made me feel so nervous to take the plunge and go ahead and buy some pregnancy related things. Like I'm gonna jinx it somehow. Anyone else feel like that?
@manniebeth I bought a bunch of clothes this weekend bc the Motherhood outlet near me had great sales. I won't take the tags off until after I (hopefully) see a healthy little baby growing during my US on Monday. I understand it's science and whatever will happen is going to happen---but I feel ya...
@manniebeth yes! Just saw a big brother shirt at target this weekend and almost bought it for DS, but then decided it was way to early and I didn't want to jinx my pregnancy. I laughed at myself BC in reality it's stupid...but I'm glad to know I'm not alone!

I felt like that the entire two years we were TTC. I refused to buy any baby-related things at all. Now I've only bought a t-shirt to wear to a Pirates game in September, and I'm hoping that doesn't jinx me! At what point is it not a jinx, but instead good planning? Gotta hit that sweet spot

So I am almost 7 weeks and I have had some morning sickness. Mainly I am super tired and can barely make it through my work day. I have already taken a number of sick days because of it. I have been having extremely tender breasts and I have been having weird like, shooting pains in my breasts since I got pregnant. If I lay on my side or stomach at all I get like little zingers that feel not so good. Anyone else having this? I'm wondering if this is growing pains.

Sounds like round ligament pain, a lot of people get it later on as their bellies stretch, but some get it early on. Pretty sure the hormones start working on softening those guys up right away, it hurts! I've been having some too, way earlier than last time! Hope you start feeling better, first tri tends to feel the ickiest...

Nauseated. All. Day. Long. Mornings are actually when I feel the best, before I eat. After that it's all down hill. Evenings bring on indigestion and bloating and everything sounds horrid. Smells are starting to get to me more as well and I have turned into a very emotional loose cannon with no filter. Very sorry to those of you that can't keep anything down. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes- it's the worst- I really want to let myself get excited and buy stuff but I can't.
Fridays are jeans day and I just can't do it! I have slightly stretchy jeans too but the button is so uncomfy cuz of the bloat. Haven't broken down to buy maternity anything yet... I have this feeling that I finally get some maternity jeans, angels will come down and sing for their comfort lol. But til I get there, maxi skirt for the win!
I'm also beginning to think my body is regulating how much is in my stomach before bed... if I'm even slightly full, my body forces the excess out, which makes for a very unpleasant end to my night lol. I didn't even have heartburn or gas to warn me last night :-\

Jeggings are my go to right now because jeans just dont fit.
I had to buy one of those black bands that go around your belly where your pants button. ALL of my work pants are uncomfortably snug because of this bloat, although if I'm being totally honest, they were a little snug to begin with.
So following on from my post the other day, my brown spotting has gotten much heavier today and turned a deep red and I'm having period type pains. It's still not as heavy as my period but it feels inevitable. A trip to the doctor and I have been referred to the early pregnancy unit for a scan on Tuesday. Sucks I have to wait until then but I'm fairly certain this is the beginning of a miscarriage so letting that idea settle in my mind over the weekend. I'll of course keep everyone posted. And wishing everyone here a healthy pregnancy. X
