My sciatic pain never went away after DD. So while it's not necessarily new because of pregnancy it is there and it sucks so bad. I'm feeling better today but still super tired.
I have a headache. My nipples are so sensitive I want to punch all the things (breastfeeding has been fun because of that.) I also want to punch all the things. So much anger... And I'm starving while also having no appetite. Does that make sense?
@sparkymcgeee Oh that sucks that you have it right from the start. How bad did it get with your last pregnancy? I get bouts of it every now and then and I'm worried about how much pregnancy is going to magnify it.
@heelsidehero I'm over in Australia and winter has only just ended so the weather is pretty mild. I think I'm just a hormonal hot mess. How far along are you? I'm waiting for the heartburn to start hoping it takes it's time..
@courtinthewebb It was 50 when I left the house this morning (a bit warmer in my car) but I was hot and had to turn on the a/c. I'm 5 weeks today. I usually deal with heartburn when I'm not pregnant but not nearly this often. It's becoming daily.
@ivyvines6 completely understand starving but not wanting to eat! Nothing sounds or tastes good.

That's my biggest fear. How much worse is it going to get? I plan on going to a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal care throughout so I can keep it somewhat at bay.
@ivyvines6 That's good at least, but the overall hungry but no appetite still sucks! My nausea is causing so many food aversions, which is super annoying, but I actually want to eat. Ugh.
TMI alert, but I couldn't keep anything down in either direction Thursday and Friday. It was awful. I got the okay to take Imodium AD from my OB and I started unisom and B6. Today was a much better day. I only vomited once and had dry heaving a few times, which was a significant improvement. Thank god, because today I hosted a sprinkle for my BFF and I actually felt with it instead of a sick mess.
The exhaustion is so bad this go around. Especially since my toddler who used to sleep until 10am has decided 7am is party time. I think she's actually trying to kill me.
@mileswithmyles Glad you're feeling better. Unisom and B6 are awesome - I'm taking them round the clock. I hope you can continue to keep food down! I'll be thinking of you!
@Poppy0419 Same - it literally started the day after I got my BFP. It's like they know KNOW.
Light brown verrrrry light spotting this afternoon into evening. It's a weird sort of stringy discharge... I'm basically just continuing to lose my mind in between trips to the bathroom to analyze the toilet paper.
feelkng kind of achey today and low energy, too. My skin seems to be turning a corner but my boobs still hurt. Still no m/s.
Just utter exhaustion and bloating. I feel like I look six months pregnant and I can't stay awake past 3 pm. I've been needing to nap at the same time every day. Doesn't really work out too well with a 3.5 year old at home
Mostly all day nausea, trying not to throw up, started Thursday. I'm having a hard time finding something to eat. I've kept a majority of it down but the diarrhea has picked back up and the exhaustion is unreal. Also my hips are already starting to hurt which has lasted through my entire first two pregnancies.
So pretty stressed right now. I didn't have morning sickness with my first but looks like I'm not that lucky this time. Spent the entire night fighting the need to be sick. Was even dealing with those hot and cold flashes you get right before you throw up.
What makes that even worse is that I got less than 3 hrs of sleep and am about to board an 8 hr flight home-please dear god don't let me get sick on the plane.
Here's a fun TMI. So just before I got a BFP, maybe 12dpo I went to the toilet and saw a squirt of blood. I told DH we're out, I've started my period. Then I went a again later and realized the blood was coming from the wrong place for that ☹️ Yup hemeroid came back like a fury before I could even confirm that I was pregnant. Uuuuugh.
I am with @Ivyvines6 hungry with no appetite. Exhausted and on and off nausea.
For those ladies struggling with sciatic nerve pain - it hasn't flared up for me yet this time but I had it bad last pregnancy and the chiropractor really helped
Nausea has started to kick in. I am hungry allll the time! I feel like gaining a healthy weight in this pregnancy is going to be impossible. Still tired all the time and woke up 2x last night to pee. Ridiculous.
Sore boobs. Sleepy. I expect the violent morning sickness to start in about 2 weeks. Yay! Last time I was pregnant, I tore my esophagus, so here's to hoping it's not so bad this time!
I get migraines at the beginning of my period, and it seems that pregnancy hormones have the same effect at times. I had one of those headaches that feel like someone drove a long nail through your eyeball to the back of your head and then kept hitting it lightly with a mallet.
I've been super nauseous but haven't thrown up so I guess that's a plus. All food sounds bad but I'm so hungry, I have to force myself to eat. Fatigue, sore boobs, headaches at night.
@britJonathan you poor thing! Torn esophagus? So you had to have surgery and everything?!
@zaclina ugh I hear you, in getting up multiple times a night to pee too. No fun.
@Pearlvirus boo hemorrhoids suck. I'm sorry. I'll be there with you soon though I think.
In the middle of having lunch with family I got really bad stomach cramps/ ache feeling sick, trying not to panic in front of everyone. Straight after they left I got a hot water bottle and took off my trousers trying to calm myself down only to realise that it was because my leggings are too tight on my belly now. What an idiot hahaha!
I've been nauseous for two weeks, but I barfed for the first time today. I'm exhausted and the nausea is overwhelming. Working (teaching first grade) is going to be hard.

@rachelg777 no surgery! Small tears that healed on their own! I just vomited blood for a few days. I started taking Zofran 24/7 after that. I can't believe I am willingly doing this again, lol!
Is anyone else peeing CONSTANTLY? Naive little me thought that happened when you got a big belly and pressure on your bladder. Nope. Liquids seem to go straight through me and I nearly wet myself in the car today before I got to a gas station.
I'm doing all the peeing, all the nausea, all the heartburn, and all the not sleeping. I can't sleep through the night but man does a nap sound good about 2pm lol
Oh constant peeing starts right away. Hormones and (although you can't see it) your growing ute makes you pee all the time. Plus, you should be drinking more water while pregnancy so all the pee.
I'm actually a little concerned about the constant peeing because in April when I had my most recent loss they found a cyst on my bladder during my U/S. I'm wondering how that on top of the other things will impact me.
Nauseous, but nothing has come up as of yet. With my two previous I maybe got sick once or twice with each. I'm absolutely exhausted and the frequent urination is already driving me nuts. I got up four times last night to pee. Other than that the cramps and pains have disappeared (knock on wood). And I've been eating a little bit more. 6 1/2 weeks.. halfway through the dreaded 1st tri.
Today is the first day that I would count actual nausea as hitting. I'll be 6 weeks on Wednesday so I guess it's come ahead of schedule. I still feel like I could eat an antelope, too.
I spend a good part if my day peeing. Also, I am so hungry I feel like I am going to burst, which is kind of opposite of last pregnancy, where the thought of food made me dry heave. And the bloat is freaking real! I have been trying to figure out why it looks like I gained 10 lbs but haven't actually gained it, and then it hit me. Duhh.
So far only bloating and peeing. My nausea didn't hit me until after 6 weeks last time, so I'm expecting that will start later this week (6 weeks tomorrow).

@sparkymcgeee I am so sorry you've been dealing with that for so long. How awful.
@ivyvines6 Defintely know that feeling. One of the worst. Are you having a lot of food aversions?
