Same as last week. Exhaustion. Sore boobs. Random aches and pains. Sciatica?? ((Already?? Really??)). This pea doesn't like anything with caffeine in it. And can tell the difference between caffeinated and decaf tea. And all.the.nausea. If I could just bring myself to throw up, I would probably feel better but I hate hate hate getting sick. Oh. And random insomnia while I'm exhausted. Of course.
@mdfarmchick I'm also noticing some feelings of Sciatia which I've never dealt with during pregnancy (but occasionally when I'm not). Hope it doesn't get out of control.
Does anyone have any tried and true headache remedies? I have such a nasty headache is making me terribly nauseated.
Is anyone else having period like cramps? That's basically my only symptom right now. ☹️ I haven't had bleeding but I don't see anyone else posting with this symptom. I am somewhere around 6 weeks and have off an on cramping every day. I called my OB and the nurse said as long as I'm not bleeding then I shouldn't be concerned. I'm getting worried.
@JBcakes08, yes, i am having light cramping. I am 4w2d today. Praying for both of us that it is typical cramping. I am finding out that no symptom is a concern...unless it's a concern. It's so frustrating. Praying for NO BLEEDING. Let me know how you are doing, please.

I've been getting really nauseated in the middle of the night. I wake up feeling sick about 10 times a night. I even dream about throwing up but never do. It's strange!
About a week ago I randomly started breaking out in hives. Not sure if it's pregnancy related or just misfortune, but I'm not allergic to anything that I know of do this has me scratching my head. Literally.
Otherwise, the fatigue and nausea (not quite to the point of throwing up) continue, although at 7+ weeks I'm starting to feel like the fatigue may be letting up a little. Oh, and I have an aversion to coffee.
Like others have said, this pregnancy has definitely been more difficult than my last so far.
5wks 2 days I'm in the club with y'all who are bloated and crampy. I also feel like I am ON FIRE especially at night. My work is freezing but I'm burning up. I can't take off my sweater though because it conceals my pudge.

I am super bloated and crampy, with a near constant dull ache??? I am trying to capitalise on sleeping on my tummy and I'm too uncomfortable at the moment.

@notthefather, I'm the same way. I've been doing it for like 2 weeks now. I try to just force myself back to sleep, but the waves of nausea are so strong!
I have been horrible with sleep too. I'll be awake for hours at a time. I get extremely hot then uncomfortable. I didn't get this way until the third trimester last time. Ugh!
So... I cut myself off of liquids at 7 last night and was still up 4 times to pee! I don't remember the frequent urination this early in the game last time
I have strong wave of nausea if i don't eat or drink enough. Low back ache. Heartburn from hell! And im so tired I feel like I could lay in bed 24/7.
Is anyone else experiencing diarrhea? I'm on day 3 of it, and it's not like food poisoning or illness where it is a constant thing. Just 2-3 times a day I get mild intestinal cramping and have to have a BM that is soft or not watery.
I have been on PIO 100mg for 7 weeks now, so I figure if it was hormone changes it would have hit me a while ago.
Feel hungover everyday! Like I polished off a bottle of wine to myself the night before....don't remember feeling so tired/queasy last pregnancy. Also very bloated. It's not bad in the morning, but by the end of the day, I look pregnant. It's going to be hard to avoid questions soon... I have already blatantly lied to someone who asked
Around 6.5 weeks. All of the fatigue and bloat. Most days, I'm pretty irritable and gassy as well. Very little nausea so far, but it didn't kick in until 8 weeks with DS.
Well with my first i had MS for 9 months, i've been nautious but nothing and then this morning thrown up twice. Sore Boobs, exhausted, winded, starving and emotional.
I'm 5w6d and have had constant mild cramping and my boobs are so sore it hurts to touch them. The bloating has got to be the worst since it already looks like I'm showing. Just thanking god i haven't had any MS!
@bookishbaker, I actually got a couple of hives 2 days before my BFP. I never get them and couldn't figure out where it came from! I totally considered it a symptom though I was desperately symptom spotting at that point haha
6 weeks, so bloating. Just wow. I look 4 months along, and I'm embracing it, here i come sun dresses! Naps are my new best friend, had a 2 hour nap yesterday and still was asleep by 11 (got a good 10 hours last night). Started getting nausea yesterday throughout the day and woke up with it again this morning, got it twice more since. Finding eating protein helps despite not wanting to eat and I get full WAY faster than before I was pregnant (thinking its the bloating and nausea?). Haven't thrown up, yet...
Excited to meet baby on March 18, 2018 | First Time Mom, 31
Not a symptom but I'm feeling a cold coming on, drainage down throat. I got pneumonia early this Spring so I'm freaking out and can't take anything!
@slr1229, I think this is my least favorite part of pregnancy (including labor!). I got sick a lot during my first pregnancy and ended up with strep during my 38th week in my second pregnancy. Not being able to take something, especially for a cold that zaps you, totally sucks. Sending healthy vibes!!

These are my exact symptoms! Hopefully it will ease off in the 2nd trimester. When I was pregnant with DS I only had bad headaches/very tired.
I'm 4w5d and exhausted. I don't remember being this tired with my first. The insomnia and the constant peeing is here too, that I remember unfortunately.
Does anyone else feel swollen in their southern lady parts? I feel like a 1/3 of my blood supply is down there, so thick. I don't remember this from last time until the third trimester when every inch of my body was swollen. What weird, fresh hell is this?

With my first 2 pregnancies I didn't have many early pregnancy symptoms at all. This time I have super sore boobs, I'm a hot box like sweating 24/7 and this is a first for me, everything tastes really weird and my sense of smell is in overdrive. Funny how all pregnancies are so different!
Anyone else think food tastes different?? Or am I crazy lol
@Cowboycorgi Yes!!! I had diarrhea yesterday and today and I remember getting it with DD. I'm eating bananas and applesauce today. I don't know if the cramps are diarrhea or not lol
@chasingroygbiv Dude!!! I was having horrible migraines! Eucalyptus essential oil was pretty good but this....This this this...Go to a physical therapist and get myofascial release for migraines. Worth every single solitary penny. One session and my migraines disappeared and havent come back!!!
My dad is a physical therapist, so I've been extremely spoiled, but I couldn't believe it! I had been doing acupuncture, which was helping, but u kept having them every day for about 3 weeks, for HOURS. I cried and thanked my dad so much. The relief made me cry cry cry!
I have this and I'm also in my 8th week...but I thought it was just an actual cold. You mean this is pregnancy symptoms too? Are you sure you didn't just catch a cold?
One new symptom I've recently noticed is more vivid dreams that I remember. I normally never remember any of my dreams at all. In the past week I've dreamt of bugs biting peoples' scalp and laying eggs, a riot complete with shootings that I survived, a ghost in the house moving objects and making scary things happen, and we visited Paris again where DH got a haircut and I was bummed I couldn't drink wine anymore.
6w2d today and threw up yesterday morning and this morning. Plus all day nausea! Otherwise just tired and some sore boobs. I had horrific migraines with my second pregnancy and discovered last September that I had celiac disease, so thank god I eat gluten free and migraines are gone. Couldn't handle that on top of everything else!
I'm finally feeling a little better, I haven't puked since yesterday morning and I've been able to eat without gagging. If I hadn't seen a healthy baby and heartbeat at the OB yesterday I would probably be freaking myself out about disappearing symptoms.
I have an awful headache. I'm still drinking most of an 8oz cup of coffee so I don't think it's a caffeine headache. Anyone have any suggestions on how to ease a headache at work?

Cold water helps me sometimes. If you have an office and can turn the brightest lights off and just use a lamp, it may help as well.
today is the first morning I've woken up nauseous. I'm 6w1d. My DH just brought me some toast in bed which has helped slightly. We were supposed to leave here 30mins ago for a weekend getaway and I'm not even out of bed yet.
I have no intention of telling people at work yet .... but by the time I go back next week I think I may have to if I'm feeling like this - how else could I possibly explain the sluggishness.
Other symptoms - Incredibly sore breasts, some cramping still and shortness of breath. I sleep a solid 8-10 he's a night AND need a nap in the afternoon.

Yes! It's really odd, but oatmeal tastes awful to me. I was the same way with my first pregnancy. It tastes the way towels smell if you forget them in the washer. So awful!
@alice0218 the cold symptoms could just be a cold or it could be rhinitis. I had it for the majority of my first pregnancy. It was almost constant congestion!
I had a headache last night and a little bit of nausea. I woke up nauseous this morning, but I feel better after having some food and Ginger Ale and wearing these super cute sea bands.
The constipation has started (still too early for nausea and aversions). Last time I was able to keep it in check by rating dried apricots, but today when I went to the grocery store I completely forgot apricots. Sad day.
Anyone else having lower back pain ? I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and have been having lower back pain at nights mostly when I lay flat. Sorry for TMI but I'm also constipated no cramps or bleeding but really bloated. Is lower back pain normal this early ? I don't remember having it in 1st trimester with DD and it's making me nervous.
