Well I had the surprise of some spotting appear this morning . I am trying to not let it phase me. I had some spotting last pregnancy about this time, and while that pregnancy wasn't viable it did not naturally end. I feel like my pregnancy symptoms have been picking up the last couple of days, some mild nausea and a little cramping. I guess we will have to wait and see.
I'm just freezing. So cold. I'm sleeping in a hoodie, sweat pants, socks, and a thick blanket on top of my comforter. It's so weird. I live in a super hot climate, and our air isn't exactly blasting. Sofaking cold.

@linds0503 hang in there! I had the surprise spotting yesterday hopefully it's nothing I know quite a few women who have spotted and every thing went fine. Went for bloodwork this morning and go back Monday. Hopefully yours stopped and we don't have any other surprises this weekend.
Motion sickness is a new one for me. I can be completely fine but as soon as we start driving I immediately feel like I'm going to throw up.
@beena722 same! This is totally new for me as well. I typically take short but frequent trips around town for errands, so I'm hoping it's just all the starting and stopping that triggers the motion sickness. We have a 2+ hour drive tonight on a highway and I'm REALLY hoping everything will be fine!
@allowachick No I have a desk job. I was wearing some uncomfortable heels yesterday which probably contributed. But that's definitely not a problem I had pre-pregnancy.
@luna8433 when I was pregnant with DS it was my hands that swelled terribly. I'm planning to buy an adjustable cheapish ring to wear when mine don't fit any more.
Funny many of you mention being cold. I've noticed I get really cold at times and wondered if it had anything to do with pregnancy symptoms because it isn't normal for me. I am 4wks/4days today. No nausea yet (knock on wood). Main symptoms for me seem to be the up and down fatigue. One minute I'll be full of energy and the next, I'm ready to lay down and sleep. Bbs aren't sore but nipples are. I get the occasional pulling cramp but they only last a few seconds and today my nodes under my jaw feel a tad swollen and my throat hurts. Oddly enough, before I got my BFP, I had one tender lymph node under my jaw that only lasted for a day. Now, over a week later, both feel tender and throat is a little sore. No food aversions, but I'm very indecisive. I'll crave something then by the time I go to eat it, I don't want it anymore. I do crave pasta salad a LOT, before I even knew I was pg, I wanted it and the craving keeps getting worse lol. Other than the major fatigue, most of my symptoms seem to be present where I'm aware of them, but not horrible where I can't stand them.
This car ride is getting to me. I am having lower abdomen discomfort like a dull achy feeling. I'm hoping it's just harmless but it has me worried like woah
@allowachick During my last pregnancy (*TW* It ended in MC, but had no relation to this */TW*) I felt a lot of discomfort when driving for more than an hour or so. I figured it was a combination of organs moving around and gas/bloat.

@kmalls yes! I love running errands around town so I'm hoping this goes away soon. It's the worst with my husband, he is so jerky with his stopping and accelerating. It's terrible. Hoping you have a smooth drive!
Just got my BFB today and having a tiny bit of cramping this evening. I didn't have that the first time around, but from what I'm reading it looks to be normal, so I'm gonna try not to be concerned. Otherwise, I'm too early for any other symptoms I think (just 3 wks 6 days.) Last time, morning sickness hit me HARD at exactly six weeks, so I'm going to enjoy being able to eat without gagging while it lasts!
@beena722 and @allowachick? Have you tried motion sickness wrist bands? I used the Seaband kind and they helped me somewhat last time around. Good luck!
Im 6w2d and I basically throw up everything, it's horrible. Even seeing food has me running to the bathroom. I had to call out sick for two days from work cause I was throwing up all day and got a two day suspension. Hoping this "morning" sickness goes away fast
@allowachick Just so I don't get your hopes up, it didn't *totally* take away my nausea last pregnancy, but it did cut it by about 40%, which I was really grateful for because my nausea was awful. Good luck!
@ChloandCoco@maureenmce I've been having near constant mild cramping for about a week now. No bleeding though, so I still feel very positive about everything! In my head, I've been blaming it on constipation and bloat, lol.

I have had cramping since day one but today it's been worse then usual. I'm definitely constipated and I feel like I have to poop all the time but when I try to go I just can't!! This is really annoying for me because I'm typically so regular and have no problems.
Surprisingly I have not had morning sickness (knock on wood). I have been extremely exhausted at work & have had no energy for even the lightest forms of exercise. I've also had continuous lower back pain. I've found that a heating pad & Tylenol works well, but not for long.
@mellie5909 don't tolerate vomiting just because it's "normal" give your Ob a call so they can prescribe you some diclegis!!! Symptoms can be managed and your life don't have to be miserable for weeks girl! Btw diclegis is basically B6 vitamin and Unisom
Question for STM, does anyone have sore boobs? I remember it being one of my major symptom last time but nothing this time around. I wonder if the fact that I can still extract milk/little to no change happening since my BF journey ended not long ago is the reason why.
@JJMNO1616 I take the probiotic pearls brand they keep it regular like clockwork and they're the ONLY thing that work for me! Literally heaven sent lol

I never had sore boobs in any of my pregnancies, this is my third. I can still express milk and my kids weaned around a year ago. I nursed my daughter all through my second pregnancy and still no soreness.
@JJMNO1616 They're little over the counter pills you take that have good bacteria in them. (Sounds gross kind of? But very healthy!). I take Culturelle or Dr. Udo's brand.
@danjoly My boobs hurt so much last time, but this time, my nipples are a little sore and that's it. I'm hoping it's just early and it will happen later.
