Good Lort. I walked up the stairs this morning and you'd think I had emphysema. I was trying to tell the front desk admin something and I had to take a breather; it was really embarrassing
4 weeks 4 days today and I am RAVENOUS. It's like the hunger switch just turned on and can't be turned off. Also, I have been full of anxiety and on the verge of tears most of the morning, so that's been fun.
@gracie4400 Omg the bloat! It's insane. I literally gained 5 pounds in 2 days and I swear it's all in my puffy face and abdomen. I saw my endocrinologist today and she reminded me it's normal, it's the hormones, etc., but holy cow, the bloating is real!
4 weeks 6 days (I think?). Feeling pretty much the same as always, but for being a little tired (I've crashed early the past two nights) and a little irritable. Definitely less anxiety over here over symptoms this time around; I think having done it once successfully before makes me a little less likely to wish morning sickness on myself to prove to myself that I'm really pregnant.
I did pee on another stick this morning, though. Just in case I misread the dozen or so other positives before. Surprise! Still pregnant.
@Maureenmce@texas_t I refuse to get on the scale at this point because I know I've gained and seeing the number is just going to upset me. Ignorance is bliss!

I don't know exactly how far along I am since my cycles are wacky.
I feel pretty awful! I'm mostly okay in the afternoons (which is new, with my other kids I had all day sickness) but the mornings are pretty miserable. Threw up while dropping my daughter off at school yesterday, ugh. Other than that I'm just EXHAUSTED.
@texas_t The bloat is SO real. I literally could not wait to get home from work yesterday so that I could put sweatpants on. Totally rocking leggings today. And probably every day for the foreseeable future. Lol
I've just googled the heck out of it and apparently, Mint Tea is supposed to help. So, I'm currently guzzling that. Also, I didn't take my Unisom/B6 combo last night and I'm getting random waves of queasiness.
I’m probably somewhere between 4w2d and 3w4d. I didn’t temp so I really have no clue.
My boobs are so sore, and I’ve got cramps. Thankfully I’m not too exhausted yet and haven’t been feeling nauseated. I swear to god I’m going to keep running during this pregnancy if it kills me, so I’m sure I’m going to regret that decision when the fatigue finally does hit.
Any one ever wake up and feel nothing? No cramps or twinges, no upset stomach, nothing. I woke up yesterday and felt that way and still do today. Extremely anxiety inducing I must say.
My husband is constantly asking how I feel. You'd think it was our first. It's kind of adorable - do your boobs still hurt? How's your stomach? He has also asked me to keep him in the loop about all the anxiety POAS that I've been doing, because he wants to see, too. It's kind of adorable, but also kind of echo-chambery for my own anxious thoughts. But whatever, I feel like shit today (nauseas, constipated, boobs hurt, dull cramps), so ... yay?
@britt-mars That’s how I felt most of first tri last time and expect to feel similarly this time. I totally get the anxiety. You read all this stuff about how you should be feeling and it’s like, “no! What’s wrong with this child??” Fx it’s just your body being nice to you. Also it’s still fairly early for MS and stuff to really set in.

@wackers87 Sorry this is a few days late. Could it be a UTI? The “pressure” sensation is what usually starts it for me and I am prone to them in early pregnancy for some reason. Just something to look into maybe. Afm, I’ve got very little going on, but I’m only 3w6d. Maybe a little tired, and I’m using that as an excuse to take a nap instead of clean.
@mbelow6103 I'm getting heartburn today too - wtf? I didn't get that with my daughter until like, the end of the second trimester!
@texas_t I was so out of breath wrangling my daughter last night before getting her to bed that when I sang her the lullaby I always sing I had to stop multiple times to take extra breaths.
Today at 4 weeks 6 days I have had two waves today of what I would almost called nausea previews? Like riiiiight on the edge of nausea, but then I'm okay. Also, the fatigue is real. Otherwise I feel totally great and normal and my boobs barely hurt anymore, which is, of course, freaking me out, even though I logically know it's fine to feel normal this early.
@PensiveCrayon I guess I must be used to my body not being so nice lol. Thank you for the reassurance. I keep reminding myself that I'm only 5 weeks nd not to panic but man is it hard not to. Especially after two losses.

I told h yesterday I was thinking of taking another pregnancy test. He asked me why. Because I wasn’t feeling any different! its so hard not to analyze everything. I’ve thrown up a few times, but it comes and goes. And today I’m sick with a phlegmy cough....and that’s definitely not pregnancy related. Anyway, I guess I’m trying to agree with you that most of the time I feel no differently.
1. No idea due to irregular cycles and O'ing later than I thought.
2. So much bloat. I was getting super PO'd for a bit because I was expecting AF and never bloat this much. Also sore boobs/ultra sensitive nips. That's the symptom that caused me to test with DS, and again with this one (besides going crazy on CD52 with no AF lol)
@texas_t re: wearing maternity shirts...I never stopped after my DS, I say go for it
Yes, a few times. Yesterday when I got up in the morning and went into the bathroom, I had to hold onto the sink for a minute to keep from falling over!
Anyone else getting hot flashes?? I don’t remember having hot flashes with my first. Seriously... I’m freezing our house because I keep feeling hot! My poor family LOL

It's the opposite for me. I'm freezing all the time lately! I went through that with my daughter. I was walking around the house with sweatshirts and comforters and still cold in my first tri. By the 3rd I was sleeping with ice packs on my neck.

Lol all day at work I just wanted to be home under a million covers. The gas is through the roof as well. And also ***tmi*** diarrhea. What is up with that? Anyone else? The only reason I don't think it's food related is this is yet another symptom I've gotten early on in each pregnancy. And I mean... it's serious. I woke up at 5am this morning and had to RUN to the bathroom.
I’m guessing it probably doesn’t help that we live in AZ and it’s been in the 90’s outside. I’d rather be freezing and snuggled up... I hate being too hot!
@borgie05 I don't mind being freezing when I can snuggle under some blankets, but I was freezing at work today and that's rough!! I may have to take a blanket to work with me I get super hot at night though. Potentially TMI** I've been sleeping without pants lately, lol. I get too hot and I hate the feel of my pants getting all twisted around my legs.
@CecilB93 Psh I always sleep without pants! I am a hotbox at night. I have to have my feet out of the covers to be comfortable. (Also, sigh, a stomach sleeper. Not looking forward to having to give that up again.)
Re: diarrhea, I’ve had some today but I also have IBS stuff so it may have just been my lunch.

2) slightly nauseous, sore boobs and cravings like no other. I feel like a human garbage disposal... give me all the food! LOL
oh and definitely bloated
