My breast tenderness fluctuates throughout the day- usually I wake up with minimal soreness (usually just around the edges), then as the day goes on they get more sore- not unbearably so, but enough that my cat gets shooed if he tries to walk across me, which he always does because he doesn't understand personal space. They definitely look/feel fuller- none of my bras are fitting, and I'll probably be moving up a cup size in the next month.

Is anyone not having breast tenderness? It seems so odd that I’m not, but they don’t hurt at all. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my boobs are sad little sacks after breastfeeding two kids. Like, since there is so little tissue there, they aren’t sore?
I’m not having any tenderness either and thought it was odd. I remember having that with all 3 of my girls. I just stopped nursing my 2 year old so I also wondered if it was related. They don’t look any bigger yet either which I feel like I had in past pregnancies already.
I just stopped nursing in November. And, same here, my boobs aren’t any bigger at all yet. They definitely were at this point with my first two. Oh well, it’s not like I’m dying for big, sore boobs.
hi all! I’m i’m eight weeks today. I finally have a positive pregnancy after three Rounds of ivf. The only other time I got pregnant i suffered a missed miscarriage a couple years ago.
Week five and six I was very sick, felt bloated all the time sore boobs, tired...everything.
Had an ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks and baby was measuring right on schedule and had a heartbeat of 126.
Around seven weeks my symptoms started to disappear came back for maybe a day or two and disappeared. Very nervous as now it seems my symptoms are not coming back. I feel pretty fine… I don’t even think I’m that tired anymore. I’m so scared that my next ultrasound they’ll be no heartbeat…
@bossfamily welcome! I often say I don't even feel pregnant because I have very few symptoms. During weeks 5-7 I was very tired and had sore breasts but at this point the only reason I'm reminded I'm pregnant is because I want to eat all of the food and my cravings are insane. I wouldn't worry too much, it's around this time that a lot of symptoms start to ease up
@bossfamily I sympathize with your worries. I don't think that PGAL (pregnant after loss) brain ever goes away. You over-analyze every little thing, and often worry wort yourself with it. I felt your exact fear this week, that when my next ultrasound is on the 31st, the one my husband will actually be able to come with me, that there will be no more heartbeat.
I'm 8 weeks this week and honestly I've been pretty easy on the symptoms for the entire thing, for which I'm thankful but at the same time I feel like more potent symptoms would almost be reassuring. I've had the bloating, off and on nausea, big sore boobs, tender nipples that hurt when anything touches them, fatigue and mock narcolepsy, smell aversions (probably my strongest symptom), and a simultaneous lack of appetite and yet cravings for truly weird things.
Earlier this week my symptoms eased up a bit and on Monday actually disappeared for an entire day. I freaked out and quickly realized that Google searches were far from reassuring and my mind was getting carried away with all of the what if's. Sometimes too much knowledge can be a bad thing. I just told myself, "Symptoms come and go. It's normal. I'm not bleeding. I'm not cramping. What will be will be, there's nothing my worrying can do about it."
So...I rolled with it for the day. I got all sorts of neglected housework done, I cooked an entire meal that night, complete with meat and vegetables, something I hadn't done since I was BFP due to the smell aversions (my poor husband). And sure enough the next day the smell aversion was back, the potpourri vomit like aroma of hubby's chai tea set me off, and I've been queasy off and on and I'm exhausted again.
If you're truly worried there's no reason you can't call your OB's office and see if they can reassure you or have you come in to check on things. Best of luck!
I'm 11+6 and STM, and today my boobs just started to feel it. My bra is feeling a bit tight today too, so I think I need to switch to my bigger size that I wore last pregnancy and through nursing. My symptoms also subsided a bit around 8w and I'm just now starting to feel like my pants are getting tighter. But, my energy levels are a bit higher than they were earlier in the first tri.
My bloat is so, so real right now. I'm 10 weeks today and I am seriously thinking about getting out my maternity pants. I'm dying in my normal pants (they used to be loose!!). I also had to get out my bigger bras, and even this one feels tight. Ded. 30 weeks left.....
@juliebird6 bust them out, you won't regret it. I have been uncomfortable since 7w5d and switching to maternity pants/leggings last week at 8w6d was the best decision ever.
Yesterday we went out for dinner and i had fish n chips with tartar sauce that I legit could have eaten with a spoon. It was so amazingly delicious!! So, symptoms over here definitely include cravings. Lol
Anyone else have extreme acid reflux?? Everything I eat feels like it’s stuck in my throat and when I burp I feel like I’m going to throw up. I’ve only thrown up once but I feel nauseated all day

I cannot stop pooping. I feel like at this rate I should be losing weight. I'm thankful it's not vomiting or nausea but man, I'm kinda over it.
I'm with you there! I seem to alternate between reaaalllyy sloooow and "Am I gonna make it to the toilet?!"
Last week, I think I went 3x in the whole week, I was so bloated and miserable. This week, either it's just what I've been eating has been different or it's side effects from the antibiotics, but I went 7x yesterday and I felt raw back there. Just ugh.
Is anyone else having an aversion to water? I know we are supposed to be staying super hydrated, but I just can't bring myself to drink water, which is weird because I am normally really good about it. I am drinking La Croixs as a stopgap but would love to just be thirsty for water like normal.

STUCK IN A BOX!
I'm using my kid's wipes and diaper rash cream. This is for the birds.
@legallykate I was having trouble with water aversion too. I started using crystal light in my water to make it more appealing. Especially since I have been craving citrus, it has worked for me. I know lots of people will have mixed feelings about the artificial sweeteners, but sucralose (which is what is in it) has been deemed safe by the American pregnancy association which is good enough for me. Better than being crazy dehydrated.
@legallykate ugh, yes. I usually have a gallon jug on my desk and do fine with it but there are some days I have legit NOT drank a sip of water at all. I mean, I drink sparkling flavored water but yeah. I try to put 60z of water bottles in my work bag (bad for the environment, I know, but I also have a weird fear of the pipes in my house right now) and drink those throughout the day. The individual bottles are a lot more doable than a full, looming gallon.

Zantac!!!
Yes! I am picking some up today! Tums are doing nothing
Those Crystal Light Pure powders are delicious. I think it's stevia and cane sugar. The TrueLime/True Lemon powders are good too.
I'm not averse to plain water, but I get so bored of plain water when I can't drink carbonated beverages, tea doesn't taste good, and most fruit juice is too sugary (I've been cutting my OJ with water).
@legallykate Me. I used to drink a gallon, no problem, and now I’m struggling to get down like 40 oz. I’ve tried the mix-ins and even that’s not cutting it for me. I’m trying to drink Gatorade to at least replenish something but even that’s a struggle.
even worse than the nausea this week is the fact that I can not go to the bathroom... it is making me feel huge and so uncomfortable. I’ve been trying to choke veggies down and still nada. Anyone else?
DS born 04/22/15, Pregnant again 03/01/17 however loss due to PPROM at 20+6 weeks now TTC rainbow
Add my to the constant poop club. In the morning it hits me suddenly with major nausea - not like diarrhea nausea like morning sickness I’m gonna pukeanf it’s from the needing to poop? So weird. I’m going like 3-4 x a day every day basically since my bfp. It’s annoying!!!

Yes! It helps if I squeeze half a lemon in and drink it very cold but I’m still not drinking enough. Last time I was the same then started chugging water at 14 weeks when I started feeling better. I’m also drinking la croix. It Sucks
I have always chugged water, but since being pregnant I get sick if I drink too much too quickly. It gets sloshy in my belly and makes me want to throw up. I can only sip slowly, or a little more with a meal. It seems to be improving slightly, so hopefully I will be back to relatively normal soon? I'm just passed 11 weeks, and I'm hoping a lot of the stomach issues stay in the first trimester!
Me:32 DH:45 DSD: 20 DSS: 18 Team green baby due: Aug 6th, 2018
I'm like a lot of you - I typically drink a lot of water but sometimes it's a struggle. In the daily tally of how many ounces drank, does la croix count? I love the flavor of it, but I have to admit sometimes it's not very hydrating...
I usually drink a lot of water, but between the nausea and cold weather I hadn’t been drinking as much, but then I discovered that putting lemon in my water makes it go down a lot easier and be more appealing. No idea why.
@hezzer78 normally I’d say la croix doesn’t count, but at this point, I’m telling myself fluids are fluids because I’m really struggling. But really, no, it probably doesn’t count....
I easily drink 100oz of water daily, but lately it just isn’t doing it for me. As others mentioned if I drink too much too fast it makes the nausea worse. I do tea in the morning, try and get my water throughout the day, but I also drink 2-3 La Croix a day. I know it isn’t water, but the flavor helps and the carbonation helps settle my stomach. It was my lifesaver with DS and it has been so far this time around, too!
Isn't La Croix sparkling water? My doctor said that while water is best, you can get hydration from most liquids (except things that are super sugary and caffeinated). I've been counting my seltzer I have with my lunch towards my water intake.

I can’t believe how nauseous and tired I am. I have been taking a nap everyday when my 2 year old does. I actually have leftover dicligus from my last pregnancy so I started taking that at night a couple days ago and it’s amazing. I’m still slightly nauseous but I can function now. Going to ask the doc for more. I forgot how gnarly being pregnant is
