Am I the only one RAVENOUSLY hungry all the time?!? Geeze louise, my stomach is constantly growling. It's actually been quite a pain to keep myself fed regularly lol
Also, the past few days I've just been real hungry and tired. Nothing else. Hope that's normal for 4.5 weeks. Most of the time I don't feel pregnant, I've been taking tests just reassure myself. I thought I wouldn't be so crazy the 2nd time around lol
Lack of appetite, crying at everything, breasts are finally sore and heavy, nausea here and there, anxiety, paranoia and SEVERE back pain. I’m lucky though, because all of these things are off and on. And no vomiting yet!
Question: anyone have experience with breastfeeding while pregnant and not experiencing the "typical" pregnancy symptoms? I haven't looked into it/googled it, but maybe that's why I'm not experiencing the same symptoms this time as I was with DS.
... I just googled it and it doesn't look like breastfeeding lessens pregnancy symptoms. It may make fatigue worse. Just wanted to share the info!
@gollygeeitsamy, you're killing me with the memes. Sometimes my best friend and I have whole FB conversations just sending memes back and forth... it's awesome, haha.
@BarefootContessa, . I think I'm going to use that when DH starts pointing out my mood swings. "My emotions are having a rave, that's all."
@luckywife10 I'm breastfeeding still, albeit down to naptime/bedtime only, and my symptoms are different this time. Insomnia, fatigue, and I'm reaaaally cantankerous (probably due to the first two symptoms ). No nausea yet at least, but I'm desperate for some decent sleep.
Hi all! I join many of you on the bloat bus! And I have been having the craziest, intense, and vivid dreams! Also... does anyone else have some nipple leakage? It's just a little on one side!
@dapoint23 no leakage but I'm 100% with you on the bloat bus. I feel like I can't button my pants up right now without them being extremely tight and uncomfortable. I find that insane with only being a few weeks in.
Accidentally brushed my hand across my nipple really harshly today and almost yelped from the pain. This should be fun!
Also can't tell if this is a weird craving or just because I am overrun with garden fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes right now, but I just HAD to have a sandwich on wheat with cream cheese, sliced cucumber, tomato and jarred green OLIVES. YUMMMMM.
@scp2585, right there with you. DH also claims that my boobs look fuller and my nipples look bigger. Not sure I agree, but they're definitely sensitive!
I'm actually strangely happy about the puking. It means things are doing something in there. I have to wait until 8/29 for my first appointment and ultrasound. So I'll comfort myself with sore nipples and puking.
I hear ya @dapoint23 I got got home from work and am laying on the couch sipping decaf coffee trying to fool myself into thinking it will have the effects of the real thing. I actually feel like a walking zombie right now.

Mild cramps on and off today but have felt relatively normal, only a slight bit of nausea right before I left work but nothing too severe. I'm embracing the good day because there are not a ton.
@sdelg09 Heartburn is my worst enemy when pregnant. I get it really bad (to the the point of puking when trying to get anesthesia for delivery!). Tums does nothing for me. I have to take Zantac every day - my doc approved that. I also found that drinking a bit of milk really helped when it felt like my insides where on fire.

Hi Ladies! Sorry that some of you aren't feeling well. My boobs are sore and I have some pelvic tenderness, but nothing major. The worst symptom I have now is insomnia. It is AWFUL! Can we take anything to help us sleep?
@MRDCle, exhaustion is hitting me hard today too! All I wanna do is take a nap. Oh, and the trash smells absolutely vomit-inducing, so I think my sense of smell is kicking it up a notch also.
@nottodaysatan I get quick little stabbing pains in my side when I'm dehydrated... Is that the kind of thing you mean? It took me a long time to figure out that association for myself.
@nottodaysatan I have felt a few pangs in that area! 2 before my period was even late and 1 or 2 randomly since I got my BFP. I wasn't sure what it could be but I suspect I'm going to feel lots of things down there sooner or later. I had no implantation bleeding but could it be that?
Guess who already has pregnancy gingivitis i noticed excessive bleeding with my waterpik this morning so I went to the dentist and they said my hormones are causing this so I have to come in every 4 months to prevent further damage. This didn’t happen with my first pregnancy. They also said it usually ( not always) happens later in the pregnancy, not as early as 5 weeks so can’t wait to see my ultrasound and have a more accurate due date! Maybe I’m further along than I thought

@dapoint23, no nipple leakage here, they're just sore as all get out! *TMI* I had to tell DH to leave them alone the other night already, haha.
Also can't tell if this is a weird craving or just because I am overrun with garden fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes right now, but I just HAD to have a sandwich on wheat with cream cheese, sliced cucumber, tomato and jarred green OLIVES. YUMMMMM.

Nothing like painful just a little shock for me on my left side.
