Starring a new thread since the last one is 2 weeks old now

Why do we keep starting these on Saturdays and not Sundays... Is there some unwritten bump rule that excludes the usage of a traditional calendar?

MrsPrice519 · October 2017

I'm feeling pretty exhausted and sometimes hysterical

my hormones are definitely overpowering at times.

I can barely eat and my acne is insane. I'm 15 again I swear. It's even on my neck and shoulders

So basically I feel exactly as I should for about 8 weeks pregnant lol.

Exhausted and ready to puke 24/7. Super sensitive to smells and did I mention ready to puke all the time? Kjustchecking.

Sore boobs, tired, occasional night nausea...worried about my lack of symptoms and google has not been my friend either, scares the hell out of me.

I'm not sure why it keeps happening but I know I would definitely prefer a Sunday start.

Kendrajos · October 2017

Boobs and hips are sore. Exhaustion. Nausea that comes and goes and sometimes seems completely random. Oh and a very fun symptom, when I am not ravaged by the negative ones, sex is super fun!

Lol I don't know either. I started it to follow the weeks it's been on. Let's just change it to Sunday next time

Those are very normal and common symptoms. I wouldn't worry unless your sore boobs and nausea suddenyl stop before 10-12 weeks. But even then, each day is different. It's stressful and I often feel the same way so I totally get it.

bwow615 · October 2017

All of the sudden all of the food sounds amazing to me. Went grocery shopping and I had no control. Entenmanns donuts, cereal, stuff for puppy chow, pumpkin bread, check check check check. And I least bought the usually fruits and veggies too. Have a super bad craving for a cashew apple poppyseed salad.

@babys_2018

Thank you! I guess I just expected to feel different. Literally feel my boobs everyday to make sure they are still sore. Just sooo freaking anxious, it's terrible. I don't see a doctor until Nov. 10, so that doesn't help either.

My boobs stopped being sore for a while, at least aren't week, but yesterday and today they are a bit sensitive. How far along are you? Around week 10-14 symptoms really start to taper off because our HCG levels naturally go down and the placenta begins taking over so you have less of the hormonal effects. My next appointment is Oct.31 and I thought that was far, so I totally get that Nov. 10th seems long. I say we just keep positive, it doesn't do aren't good to worry (better advice to give then to take but I'm working on it!!)

codik86 · October 2017

I just got done with my second nap of the day. It feels so weird to be this tired! Exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks today. I can't seem to eat a lot in one sitting, because it makes me nauseated. Food also sounds pretty terrible most of the time. Nothing sounds good. When I was pregnant with DS, I ate very healthy. This time, I eat what sounds good and normally it's not healthy.

mmb4532 · October 2017

@babys_2018 Im 6w4d...my doctor said they don't typically see anyone until 12 weeks, which I will be during that time. My husband and I are looking into having an ultrasound done on our own because my anxiety is terrible and I can't wait until November 10th to know that everything is ok.

firefliesandfjords · October 2017

HG is a jerk.

That is all.

nikky8 · October 2017

I have not had a lot of symptoms but I get exhausted very easily. Slept in today, went for lunch and some shopping and I was totally wiped by the time I got home, had to lay down. I am attempting to get some laundry done and that seems like a huge task. I am still getting some feelings in the area where my uterus sits not like cramps more like stretching or growing. I do think I have began having minor moments where I feel nauseous but they don't last long. I go from feeling full or comfortable to hungry like instantly lately.

sbaby2019 · October 2017

@mmb4532 you could call and ask for an HCG requisition. You go for 1 test then a 2nd about 48-72hours later. Then you can check your levels to ensure they are within range and increasing for some reassurance. That's what I did

My symptoms suddenly stop and I feel great for a few days and then wham they are back. I am 10.5 weeks. This has been happening since 7 weeks. I wouldn't worry. My friend who is 11 weeks hasn't had one symptom and didn't believe she was pregnant.

I've read the placenta can start to take over as early as 8 weeks. And in my past two pregnancies I was feeling much better by 9 weeks. I am not quite 9 weeks yet this time, but I already feel like the nausea is less constant and the fatigue is less intense, so I'm hoping I'm past the worst!

sbaby2019 · October 2017

@Pearlvirus 8 weeks hey? I didnt know that. Even better!

kat11223344 · October 2017

I finally started diclegis and copious amounts of zofran and life is getting a little more manageable. I had a scary bleeding episode last week, but ultrasound showed healthy baby measuring 8 weeks. Since then I've had spotting that has faded to nasty brown mucus-y grossness (TMI sorry). It's hard not to stress about it- the nausea and vomiting is oddly reassuring because I feel like if I'm this sick I must still be pregnant. Looking forward to reassurance at 12 weeks!

justsuzie · October 2017

@k5678 I had a nasty bleed at 7 weeks and I'm here at 10.5 weeks with a super strong HB of 174.

Poppy0419 · October 2017

I'm 8 weeks and I already feel way better and my symptoms have pretty much dropped off. Same thing happened with DD and I'm not worried.

Pascal86 · October 2017

Almost 7 weeks. Been feeling the baby kick all week!

Either that, or it's the crazy amounts of diarrhea.

I decided to go plant-based/vegan as much as possible about a couple weeks ago, and in case anyone else decides to do this right when they get pregnant, I can tell you - it is NOT the time to do anything that will mess with your digestion! Didn't know I was pregnant when I started it...

Lots of nausea (no puking but occassional dry-heaving), extreme fatigue. Alternating between extreme food aversions and intense cravings. Round ligament pain every once in a while (but not at all as bad at the first, when I had a lot of sharp shooting pain starting at 5 weeks).

My husband wants to keep our pregnancy under wraps until first tri is over, but I just told him we have to tell my mom soon, because I need somebody besides him to complain to!

I am jealous of you. While I have been lucky to only suffer from straight nausea versus actually being sick, food does not sound good. Im stuck in a vicious cycle of nothing sounding good bc I'm naseaus and the hungrier I get, the more naseaus I feel and the more I dislike the idea of food. Literally the only thing that ever sounds appealing is McDonalds fries. They have already gotten me through a few rounds of ending the nausea cycle.

if only one could live on McDonalds fries alone.

fragile_capricorn · October 2017

7 weeks here, and my life is being overtaken by my food cravings. They're so extreme this pregnancy, with my first I barely had any. Other symptoms are exhaustion, nausea, and I've already started lactating just a bit! But I'm sure that's just because I only stopped breastfeeding within the year, maybe? I've also become quite restless at night, which blows.

mrspirate · October 2017

7w4d and nauseous AF, certain smells make me gag, no food sounds appealing, tired as a mother, still get a few light cramps here and there...so far this pregnancy is so different from my last one!

nanifrog · October 2017

I suddenly stopped being able to swallow pills. I even cut the b complex horse pills but I gag them right back up. This means I can't stop being nauseous, anxious, and grumpy. Whole foods run in a bit to look for liquid. Has anyone else had this?

Thanks for the heads up ladies! I'll be 7 weeks on Tuesday and as a FTM, I'm freaking out. My anxiety is through the roof, worse on the weekend because I don't have my students to take my mind off it. I have a phone appointment on Thursday, I'll be sure to ask the nurses tons of questions about everything. I'm sure they will think I'm nuts. Surprisingly I was sick this morning, first time I've been sick in the morning, forced some food down and I'm fine now. I've discovered that if I have an empty stomach, that's what brings it on, but I feel like I'm constantly eating. Hubbys bringing me McDonalds fries now! Lol.

melanier26 · October 2017

I have been feeling like crap but coming to this thread and knowing I’m not alone makes me feel a little better

I have some days where I feel almost normal and then days where I’m completely exhausted and/or nauseous all day. I tend to not get hungry but get nauseated when I need to eat. And I’m so sick of food. I don’t have any consistent cravings but sometimes I come up with one food I want and that’s the only thing I can eat. My poor DH lol.

My face is breaking out so bad. I can’t remember if this happened with my first pregnancy but ugh!

ETA: I’m 6w 5d

christy0616 · October 2017

9 weeks today and still feeling nausea. The last two weekends I was tired beyond belief; still tired this weekend but felt that I accomplished a little more. Still really sensitive to smells, the grocery store was not fun. I get hungry but nothing sounds appealing. I want to plan meals for the week, but can't stomach thinking about food.

I'm hoping you're kidding.

I am just freaking exhausted. Same symptoms as with my son. My daughter, I never felt this tired.

crazyliblady · October 2017

10 1/2 weeks here, and finally starting to have some relief. With Viking my first trimester symptoms ended this same time. Unfortunately, I feel like I've also started second trimester. Migraines are coming back, as are muscle spasms. The nausea never made me throw up, but those did!

I've been feeling movement in my abdomen all week. My gas bubbles are so cute!

Also, I sneeze-peed for the first time today.

mmb4532 · October 2017

Anyone else so bloated they have to unbutton their pants? That was me today, at my cousins baby's first birthday party...

justsuzie · October 2017

Constipation last week...Diarrhea this week

bwow615 · October 2017

Oh @justsuzie symptoms twins. This is not fun. Hope it ends soon.

justsuzie · October 2017

@bwow615 Did yours come out of the blue? I am worried about being at work on Tuesday.

bwow615 · October 2017

@justsuzie yes, first time was about 1am this morning, and I can't attribute it to anything specific I've eaten since SO has eaten the same as me and he's perfectly fine. I hope it doesn't last much longer, I always go back and forth with myself on what I would prefer, this or vomiting, I'm not sure at the moment what I would pick.

mileswithmyles · October 2017

@bwow615 @justsuzie I had it bad a few weeks ago. OB told me to take Imodium AD and it helped so much.

ellelepa · October 2017

I'm feeling very icky. Especially at night. And I don't want SO touching me. He's been quite upset about it. We are usually very affectionate and cuddle most nights. So this has been challenging for him. Anyone else's SO feel this way? What are you doing? I guess I can force myself to cuddle with him...
