My boobs are officially tender, nausea is starting to hit me in random waves and is getting stronger though I am still not throwing up yet (knock on wood), all the pregnancy dreams (I married John Cena the other night, talk about weird), I can smell everything, and I have zero patience/upset at all the trivial things.
I got mad at DH yesterday because he didn't save me a sip of his soda. I don't even like soda.
@sheknows6 I think we are the same person with our symptoms lol
Nausea hit with a vengeance this morning. Even toast didn’t help, it just added heartburn Peeing ALL THE TIME Exhaustion My boobs hurt but I swear they’re getting smaller EXTREMLY irritable and zero patience. I’m avoiding people just so I’m not mean to them Breakouts The opposite of constipation
My sense of smell is off the charts
Any other STM+ mom’s swear their symptoms are way worse this time. This is my third and I’ve never felt this crappy in the first trimester before.
@sheknows6 my DH is already like.. Cool the jets on the pregnancy hormones. I turn into uber B during pregnancy. I got mad at mine this weekend because he suggested maybe we need more food for the Bday Party.
I am feeling semi-normal. Sore nips and headaches, but that is about all.
@baya5 thanks for reminding me, +1 to peeing all the time, zero constipation, and exhaustion. I was in bed at 8:45 last night. That NEVER happens.
Although, to be fair, I'm not mad about not being constipated. I would much rather be going than not so I'll take it for as long as it wants to stick around.
@baya5, this is my second pregnancy and I definitely don't remember the nausea being so bad this early. My DH is also convinced it's worse this time around (although he's probably just sick of my whining).
I've had a migraine for the past three days and woke up with severe nausea today. I'm trying to force myself to eat since I haven't actually thrown up yet (knock on wood also), but it's so hard when nothing sounds good.
Symptoms over here include utter exhaustion, irritability, my stomach is constantly churning (it disagrees with anything and everything I eat in the 1st tri), pregnancy rhinitis, and my areolas are darkening. Oh and peeing. Lots of peeing!!
Most notably is that, like most of you, I am basically out for blood at all times. These hormones are no joke. I do not remember being this irritable the last time around. (And then of course the crazy gets crazier and I am like "hmm...I was so happy with DS and he is such a cheerful little guy, is this next one going to be a little monster?")
Otherwise, peeing constantly, weird dreams, breaking out a little, fatigue, a little cramping on one side, nighttime leg cramps, constant hunger, intermittent waves of nausea (which, if this is like last time, will become constant within a few days - I remember that well).
My boobs are heavy and sore, nauseas off and on throughout the day, bloated to the point that I'm already in maternity jeans, food in general doesn't sound appetizing, so so tired, and I have awful hot flashes all night long. I think I got up to pee 6 times last night.

@baya5 I swear my boobs are getting smaller too!!! The bra I'm wearing today is straight up baggy in the cups. @lbush109 yes to pregnancy rhinitis here too! I had it all through my first pregnancy and I was hoping it wouldn't show up this time
Oh yes and the crazy dreams!!! I was on a train with pam from the office then it suddenly derailed and in another dream, sam hunt (the country music singer
All the MOTN trips to the bathroom over here. Plus super vivid crazy dreams... how am I ever supposed to get sleep? Trying to convince my boss to incorporate a siesta into the daily work schedule....
Also, nausea is hitting me hard today. Not throwing up though (I kind of feel like I would feel better if I could just throw up already). Feeling achy and on the verge of tears. I'm an easy crier even when I'm not pregnant, so I guess that's just intensified right now?
Yes to literally all these things... my boobs HURT. And they are getting bigger too. I’ve been feeling morning sickness on and off for a few days and am so so so tired literally all the time. I was literally wondering how I would be able to continue like this until the 2nd trimester... and hope it gets better??
I am with you ladies, the hormones are out of control it seems WAY sooner with this pregnancy, crying one minute and laughing the next, and anxiety is through the roof as well. overall the nausea is still mild and comes in waves but I have times where I do get randomly very warm and am reminded the nausea is likely not far off! Also, the bloat is real..used a hair tie to button my pants closed for the first time today..blah.
@chrissdee I hear you on MOTN bathroom trips. I was pissed last night when I woke up an extra time on top of the already increased pee schedule.
We had sex for the first time since FW last night. It hurt like a blazing gasoline fire. Idk if it’s from weeks of vaginal progesterone or what. It was awful
I have some serious pregnancy rage. Ugh. I am so annoyed at everything right now.
I am itchy as a mofo. Random nausea, exhaustion, the enhanced sense of smell, insomnia and yep rhinitis, i forgot that it's a pregnancy symptom but it's popped up as well.
I too feel like they are way worse this time then last.

The mood swings are so real! Really trying not to let every little thing piss me off or send me into a panic attack.
Insomnia, exhaustion, achiness, and nausea are picking up...but I’m also guilty of making them out to be worse than they are so DH will do chores and leave me alone. Does this make me a horrible person? Maybe, but I’m sacrificing my body for this kid while literally all he had to do to have a baby was have sex, so I do not feel guilty.
Sore boobs, a near constant headache, and off and on cramping are the biggest symptoms I’ve had so far. Not totally nauseated, but I feel like I have a hangover, which sucks. emotions seem pretty much the same, although I was listening to a podcast and they just mentioned the word “wedding” and I started to tear up so maybe I’m on my way.
@wearegroot, only if locking myself in my bedroom to get some peace from DS (migraine is killer this morning...) makes me a horrible person too... we do what we've gotta do, haha.
Enjoy reading through your comments because it's reassuring that I'm not alone with the mood swings! This weekend I had to keep telling myself not to go off on people who were just trying to help me during my bday party -- I was visibly annoyed though, and I couldn't even have a glass of wine to relax while everyone else was clearly having a good time!
Other than that, I only have enlarged, sore breasts and constipation as symptoms. I'm almost 5 weeks and hoping no m/s is a blessing right now rather than a negative sign.
Wishing you all the best with symptom management (& of course H&H pregnancies)!
I was seriously thinking to myself yesterday, "man, I feel great, maybe I will get lucky again."
NOPE.
I'm also experiencing opposite of constipation, nausea (but comes in waves) and exhaustion. Some nights I sleep wonderfully and other nights I sleep like a baby (up 4 times - also reminds me, whoever came up with the term "sleeps like a baby" to insinuate solid, restful sleep, is someone who really sucks).
I cried at daycare dropoff this morning. My DS was fine, didn't seem upset I was leaving, but there were 2 new kids who were very upset and also upset mommies, and even now just writing about it I'm getting all teary again, wtf! I mean, I'm a sap anyways, but pregnancy really makes me cry at the drop of a hat.
@baya5 YES. This is my third baby, fourth pregnancy and I want to die. Every time I start to feel sorry for myself I think of my poor grandmother who had seven kids (last two were twins) and how awful it had to be to carry on without much support from her husband.
I'm so bloated that I had to use a hair tie for my pants button and then it popped off and broke (my stupidity for using plastic) a couple hours ago. I'm stuck at work with unbuttoned pants
My boobs are slightly sore, but all the cramping I was having last week has subsided. And I feel like I have more energy than normal, which is a strange swing considering last week I was almost asleep by 8:30 p.m. every night.
The only symptom I have is a pinching sensation in my abdomen. It’s not painful like a cramp, but it’s definetly noticeable. I actually told my husband today I wished I had morning sickness. It’s messing with my head not having any symptoms.
