Holy nausea. I am 6w5d today and since Thursday of last week, it has been almost unbearable. All day, I feel like I am on the verge of vomiting. I also have sore breast and am exhausted, but those things are barely a thought compared to this nausea. Since this is my first, I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't expect this! haha.
Work is a challenge, but I am hoping that I will find something that works to settle my stomach. So far I have tried ginger candy, crackers, ginger ale, Gatorade...no luck yet but hopefully something will work.
Also, I LOVE tacos. LOVE LOVE LOVE tacos. But I am sad to report that I can't even stand the thought of them right now! So crazy what happens to our bodies, but I feel so lucky at the same time!
Hey all! Newcomer here - to pregnancy and to this board. 7 weeks in, battling with nausea at the back of the throat that’s on and off, extreeeeeme fatigue, mild cramps from time to time. And now, BAM a nasty nasty cold. I don’t know how I am going to live through this cold - I know it’s just a cold but I feel I will be first person to die of common cold . Any tips to survive a stinker cold in the first tri? also, where can i find info on how to change my profile name, instead of this random thing the app gives?

I'm so sorry you're sick! I just got over a bad cold myself. To be honest, there is really nothing you can do besides rest, eat some chicken noodle soup, and take some hot steamy showers. MH went to pick up some cold medicine for me, but the pharmacist said that not much is safe during the first tri. During the second tri, I think there are more medicines that you'll be able to take. What helped me the most was taking a long warm bath and rubbing some Vick's vaporub on my chest afterward. I hope you feel better soon!

So much nausea right now ladies! Oh my gosh. I know it's a good thing. And with everything going on, I'm grateful for the symptom. But wow hard to get through a shift! All the smells... Wow. Food aversion isn't helping. Everything seems revolting. I gaged down some ginger cookies, and Im sipping ginger tea. But it hasn't eased the nausea. It's gonna be hard to hide this pregnancy from my partner if I puke on a call. Can I just take the next 2 years off work? Lol
Ugh... drinking water this morning is making me queasy. WATER! WTAF body?

I’ve barely started this thing and the constipation is already ramping up. Ugh. I feel awful.
@runningyogimama the bloating for me was the worst part of pregnancy last time. I was so mad at all the second time moms for not telling me about it. For me it magically went away around 14 weeks (not a ton of help at this point). Fingers crossed it lets up for you soon!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm telling you the smell of my makeup made me nauseous this morning... the makeup I wear everyday and have never even noticed its scent before.
@mrsdrez I just had a first for smell aversions too! DH had a bloody nose, I was helping him clean up. Got a wiff of the blood, almost puked on him. This does NOT bode well for work. If I can't handle DHs blood, how am I gonna handle the various terrible other smells of strangers at work?
So I’m hitting the typical for me “sick all day” vibe. What are your “go-to” healthy foods to help with sicky feeling and not gain a ton? Right now I’m eating a ton of bananas but curious what others may be doing
My hunger is finally returning to normal. Good thing because I was well on my way to Gilbert Grape’s mom status.
Now my digestive system is all out of whack. I go from constipation to diarrhea to raging rotten egg gas all in the same day. It’s the wild wild west down there, y’all.
@mempartyof3 I'm in the same boat. If I don't eat every two hours, I am so, so nauseous. My body only wants carbs, but that is not going to cut it. I need snack suggestions too. Right now I'm surviving on skinny pop popcorn, but I know there is no nutritional value there.
So as of yesterday I have a new to me symptom, back pain. I could not for the life of me get comfortable in my work chair. I have a blanket and I tried to put it behind my back to help and it didn't do much. I'm hoping that doesn't last too long, because I have a job that requires me to sit at the computer all day so it's going to be long days if that's the case.

My Nausea turned into full on vomiting, the food aversions started and I’ve lost 3 lbs thanks to both of them. They just told me to start b6 and unisom so I’m gonna try that tonight and praying it helps. I also am soooooo tired it’s ridiculous. My 10 hour work days kick my butt and I basically go to bed at 5 pm every night. Also mucus... I am spitting like a guy that chews or it makes me puke. I’m not sick though literally just always feel like something is in my throat
I've noticed that i've been really cold lately...is this a pregnancy symptom or just a weird thing for me?? anyone else cold? (currently wearing a sweater and rain coat, and wishing i had gloves
@erinmarie86 i was freezing all day today too! A few days ago I was sweating like crazy. Dunno if it's the weather or what but sheesh it's crazy.

@erinmarie86 Glad I’m not the only one freezing, I can’t remember what it was like with DS but I thought I was supposed to be a baby heater! Last night I slept with a fleece robe on top of fleece pajamas and knee high compression socks (already! My legs are so tired, though)
I came here to see if anyone else is experiencing back pain. 7 weeks today, it kicked in hard walking to my car after work. My hip hurt too. Glad to hear I'm not alone.
@erinmarie86 I am super cold also. This is my third and I don’t remember being this cold with any of the others. I’m going to mention it to my ob tomorrow because I sort of remember being cold being a symptom of low iron (I’m also having dizzy spells).
@mempartyof3 My friend who had HM while she was pregnant suggested raw, unsalted almonds. I just picked some up and tried it tonight, they worked awesome. I only ate a small handful, it didn't last super long but they helped ease it and then I just ate a few more a bit later.
I've noticed that i've been really cold lately...is this a pregnancy symptom or just a weird thing for me?? anyone else cold? (currently wearing a sweater and rain coat, and wishing i had gloves
I didn’t have this last time but yes this is so me. Shivering, chills...I feel feverish sometimes even but no fever. I have been nervous about it. I searched online and I found enough women complaining about it that it comforted me that I’m not alone.
So as I posted a couple days ago, I have been having severe nausea for several days. I woke up this morning and feel 98% nausea free. Is that normal? To abruptly stop like that? 7 weeks today. First time pregnancy and everything is concerning me...
@babyfeverbeliever maybe wait the day and see if it hits later. I've woken up feeling fine, and then a few hours later it hits me hard. You could also talk to your doctor. See if they want to draw betas. Although I also find if I eat well and regularly, I'm less nauseated. My doctor did tell me that nausea continuing till week 12ish was a good sign, so I freaked out when I felt well most of the day the other day. Then mid afternoon it hit.
I’m only 4w5d but I get really tired. I think I have round ligament pain when I move weird or cough sometimes and hip pain. This is my second pregnancy and I’ve been having hip issues ever since my first. My breasts are sore if I don’t wear a bra. I have kind of a metalic taste in my mouth and I’m sensitive to smells that usually don’t bother me like emptying DD potty or putting stuff in the compost. No constant nausea yet (crossing finger). Needing to pee constantly and in the night.
@babyfeverbeliever I had the same thing happen with DD, I felt better for a day or two and then the nausea came roaring back for almost 10 weeks more after that. Definitely something I stressed about at the time that I then regretted missing very quickly.
Woke up exhausted and nauseous.... 7 weeks tomorrow. Then I went to bathroom and realized I’m slightly bleeding - ugh. I have had this happen each pregnancy (this is my 3rd) but never a fun thing. It’s a snow day here so I just reached out and am hoping someone with an older kid can come over and help with kids while I nap and take it easy.... not sure it’ll happen.
well i'm glad i'm not the only one freezing here! @wannaflickone yeah i googled it and it could be a thyroid issue--good to mention to your doc--and i will talk to mine too. However, my hubs did point out that i'm not eating as much and that could be a cause of the cold.
Oddly today seems to be a bit better--at least not wearing my jacket yet! lol
@erinmarie86 and all you others that are freezing your tootsies off! I am in the same boat with you all!! I am currently cuddled up in my warmest sweater and a blanket. It's actually an electric blanket and I could plug it in, but I am worried about that being near baby...not sure if that's a thing or not. But I am SO COLD. My wedding ring keeps falling off because my fingers are so cold. @wannaflickone I have been having the dizzy spells too...I hope they go away for you soon! They are not fun.
Other symptoms this week: nausea, caffeine withdrawal headache, food aversions, and extremely exhausted. I don't remember being this tired last time, but then again I didn't have a toddler to chase around back then. The thought of coffee is disgusting still, even though I'm generally an addict, so the caffeine withdrawal is intense. I'm thinking that I will try to stay off coffee entirely during this pregnancy, even if my liking for it comes back.
We had a corned beef and boiled dinner on Sunday with all the fixings including cabbage and potatoes. DH packed his lunch today, opened the leftovers container and I almost tossed my cookies. I usually love boiled dinner. I am having such a hard time finding anything to eat, everything sounds, looks, and smells disgusting.
@FreeTheElf Your electric blanket should be fine, as long as you keep it on the low setting. I sleep with my electric blanket on low every night because I love being toasty and warm. I think as long as it's not high enough to raise your body temperature, it won't hurt anything. Totally understand being nervous about it though! I'm sorry you've been struggling to find food to eat. I've been feeling that way too; after a few bites, nothing seems appetizing anymore. But last night MH got us a box of tacos from Taco Bell, and I ate way too many. But it was the first time in so long that food tasted delicious, so I couldn't help myself! I hope you find something that you can tolerate. @mempartyof3 So sorry about the bleeding! That's reassuring at least that you've had it in your previous pregnancies too. FX it stops soon and you can get some rest today.
@FreeTheElf oh I am feeling the exact same way. Everything sounds terrible. I occasionally get something in my head that sounds good so I’ve been making hubby pick up take out a lot on his way home. But bleh, it’s a struggle to eat much of anything.
@offtoneverland omg I made my husband get us Taco Bell for dinner last night too! Everything sounds terrible but out of the blue some cheesy Gordita crunch’s sounded amazing, and they were!
