@dodoknits The dreams! Yes! Mine are also crazy vivid and usually have some kind of violence in them. And I too wake up like an hour before my alarm and can't go back to sleep but then I do and my alarm goes off and I don't want to get up. haha

@Amphibious22 I am late to the party, but constipation in the beginning of pregnancy is very common. I always say pregnancy starts and ends with constipation - you will be amazed at how proud of yourself you are after that first postpartum poop lol
The sleeping thing is driving me crazy. I battled insomnia from my teen years on. But this doesn't feel like what I am used to. I'm exhausted, I pass out at a reasonable time, then wake up 2 hours later and can't get back to sleep. I have been dragging at work because I barely feel like a functioning human being.
@missylaneous419 Same! I've been going to sleep earlier than usual but I keep waking up and having the hardest time getting back to sleep. I'm already tired of feeling tired!
My boobs have been so sore and I've had nasal congestion (that's what tipped me off that I was pregnant since that's not usually one of my PMS symptoms) but it all kind of eased up yesterday which of course makes me nervous! I know symptoms don't mean anything but it's hard not to feel anxious!
Anyone else going back and forth between diarrhea and constpation? I haven't been taking anything for either because it seems to go back and forth every 4 days or so and I'm scared of making the problem worse. I kinda wish my body could just pick one problem and stick with it so at least I could treat it.
I'm also getting dizzy a lot. I remember having that with my son but not till around 15 weeks

I can relate to everyone’s insomnia. I have had trouble my whole life with insomnia but this is something else. I am exhausted all day and then I can’t fall asleep. And when I do- I wake up a few hours later and I am tossing and turning til it’s time to officially get up. And when I’m actually asleep, my dreams are so realistic it’s like I’m awake.
My boobs have been a little sore, and they are definitely fuller, but until today these have been my only symptoms. Starting this am I’ve had off and on nausea, boo. Sipping on some ginger brew now
The insomnia is real. More so the inability to stay asleep. I get like an hour then I'm up again. I tried to take a nap while my DD slept but only was able to sleep for 20 minutes. She took a solid 2 hour nap today...very disappointing.
@bearmoons yep... That's exactly what is going on with me..... I nap off an on during the day (cause it's hotter than Hades atm) and then at night when I finally do get to sleep.. I wake up shortly after and toss and turn or dream actively.
I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and so far I don't have very many symptoms. I suppose I get tired here and there... I have mood swings but not too bad. I am not complaining but I do worry sometimes. I just cant wait until my first appointment in 3 weeks.
So weird about the insomnia. I didn't experience it with my first. Now I'm wide awake at 3 am and toss/turn for a good hour. I wake up at 5:30. And I'm only a month in, so not many other symptoms beyond that. Though, my blood sugars need to be reckoned with. (That was my initial tip off.) Oh, and I cried while watching DWTS last week. I don't cry for movies or anything. But cheesy reality show? Sure.
Well, my nipples hurt so bad over the weekend I thought I was being stabbed. The only thing that brought any kind of relief was a heating pad. My breasts have been sore the past few days. Today, I have a migraine that will not quit. I want to leave work and get in bed with the lights off but this is a new job and I can't start taking days off this early. Trying to push fluids. Sometimes even drinking makes me want to vomit. Anyone else have that problem?

I get migraines too. A few ladies suggested Fioricet to take the edge off. I am going to ask my doctor about it at my next appointment. I got one last week and was able to go home during lunch to take a short nap. It helped a little but still wished I could have stayed home. I've heard some essential oils help but I have not done research to find out whether they are safe during pregnancy or not. Ill let you know if I find any good remedies.
@mimzgoy My S.O.'s Mother is super into essential oils. She gave us a ton and I was using a few until my BFP. The frankincense really helps with sore muscles. I hope to find I can still use a few of them!
Maybe @chocomom2 could change the title of it? That's what confused me last week. It was at the top, said symptoms, and I forgot that it was a weekly thing. Maybe add the date into the title, then people don't get confused.

@doxiemoxie212 I did not know there was a new one so I originally posted to this one. As I had a direct response--I responded in kind. It's not that big of a deal--I transferred over to the new one ;-)
