How is everybody doing? Anyone actually having real symptoms yet?

ETA: I changed the symptoms thread to be monthly instead of weekly. I don't think we really need this to be a weekly thread.

Major fatigue all day long and nausea likes to hit in the afternoon and hang out all night

although this morning I almost got sick in the middle of my breakfast, so that was fun, haha.

mrsclark731 · September 2018

Fatigue. Majorly. Also my bewbs are out of control. Meat aversion started Sunday, conveniently after a trip to costco as I was separating and vacuum sealing meats for freezing

k2k2tog · September 2018

Every so often I have a morning of pretty intense nausea. We've been renovating and lived at my parents' place over the summer and OF COURSE the morning we moved out and had to pack up all our sh*t it hit me bad.

A little bit of fatigue, but I can never say for sure if that's pregnancy or toddlers. Sore boobs. But nothing major yet.

vl_16 · September 2018

My left boob really hit a growth spurt. The right one is lagging behind. Lots of discharge (sorry, TMI).
Tired af but I think I've been tired for a while now, well before any BFP.

SpaceBurger · September 2018

Just. so. tired.

I fell asleep on the couch last night, and DH was like, "Ohhh, I remember now how pregnancy goes." Hahaha guess he'll have to choose some TV shows to watch alone

misskimsue · September 2018

Heightened smell and bloating since last week. I swear I'm already "bumping" out... with my firstborn, I didn't really show until around 16w, then 10w with my second; this time my uterus is like, "Alright, we're back in business!" at basically 4w, so that's nice, haha. (Realistically, I guess I'm just bloated).

I'm feeling pretty ambivalent towards food right now, which is usually the first sign that morning sickness is coming with a vengeance in a week or two.

Yesterday I bawled my eyes out listening to the Lumineers' "Charlie Boy" ... is that a symptom?

MaggieG183 · September 2018

Zero. I feel heavy in my abdomen but that’s it. Some cramping a couple days ago too. I am savoring the lack of symptoms for the moment...who knows when they are going to hit like a ton of bricks!

JennZed · September 2018

My new bedtime is 8:30 (last night i stayed awake until almost 10!) and I've started waking up either in the middle of the night or early in the morning to pee, which I've never really done before. No nausea yet, but I've had to force myself to eat breakfast and lunch all week because I've had zero appetite. It comes back by dinner time though. Other than that, I'm feeling pretty normal.

zuuls_mom · September 2018

So. Tired. I was asleep by 9 last night when I'm usually up til around 10:30/11 most nights. Super bloated and feel like I am going to be showing way sooner this time than with DS when I wasn't showing until almost 14w. I've been having headaches, increased appetite and BOOB PAIN. So much boob pain. No nausea or vomiting yet which is ok by me, but it hit at 6w last time and never really stopped so I am dreading it if it hits as hard as last time.

nerdyteacherlady · September 2018

Mild nausea much of the day, some tiredness, but regular appetite. Must have drunk like 4 or 5 cups of ginger tea at work yesterday.

Craved oatmeal for breakfast yesterday morning and it was delicious. :-)

bnzwiebel · September 2018

Omg yes. Exhausted and super sore boobs. Nausea that comes and goes all day. Good stuff

peachy13 · September 2018

All the regular symptoms are there but somewhat minor (boob soreness, cramping, discharge, fatigue) -- plus the old "I'm hungry but nothing sounds appetizing" routine which I gladly accept for the next few weeks.

GeorgiaGirl1230 · September 2018

On the sleepy train too. An hour ago, I thought my head was going to fall straight down on my desk, involuntarily. My boobs have been sore since right before my BFP. Luckily, no real nausea yet. I've been sleeping really restlessly too, which is very unusual for me. My joints are achy. Pregnant at almost 33 is not the same as pregnant at 26 was LOL.

aels12 · September 2018

Is it weird that I get kind of excited when I’m nauseous? So far that, sleepiness and some mild pregnancy brain have been my main symptoms.

sparrowsnest22 · September 2018

Acne, the painful kind

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

I'm a peeing machine. I have an awkwardly long walk to the bathroom past all my coworkers, so that's been fun. Besides that, just some really mild cramping and fatigue. My first pregnancy I lucked out and had no symptoms all of 1st tri. Wonder if that'll happen again...

sparrowsnest22 · September 2018

missmcgonnagal · September 2018

Fatigue. I've taken naps the last few days just to get through the day. Also mucus production is in overdrive, and it's given me sinusitis.

Also the constipation is real. I really took regular bowel movements for granted in life.

mrskoz428 · September 2018

Fatigue the fatigue is setting in! It’s not unbearable but it’s present!
The morning sickness hits in SUPER SUDDEN waves. Super intense and I’m not digging it.
Heightened sense of smell is pretty real, as well. I swear I can small my SO farting on a different floor of the house! LMFAO

jellybeanmama1582 · September 2018

Even before I found out I was pregnant, I have been having this awful metallic taste in my mouth- I looked it up and the fancy word is- Dysgeusia. This didn't happen with the last pregnancy- weird.
I'm also going through fatigue, going to bed earlier for sure.
Before the BFP I also came down with a double ear infection, which hasn't happened to me since childhood- I still have some residual ear blockage and mucus going on. So annoying. I know it's probably a coincidence that it happened around pregnancy, but it's so annoying!

thismustbethemom · September 2018

Oof. All of the above. I slept at my desk for 45 min yesterday. (I'm a student, so no boss checking up on me. Just means I didn't get my work done, oops.) For the first week after BFP, I was hungry all the time and food was amazing. Now I'm hungry all the time, and food is disgusting

. Also, I'm in a perpetual bad mood. I feel so bad for DH and DD! Not sure how to manage all this with a toddler around... How are STM+s dealing with symptoms with kids around? Any TTMs have advice about managing symptoms while caring for kids?

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

@thismustbethemom I’ve been relying on DH a ton. He’s been so helpful- makes dinner every night while I put DD to bed. I just wanna crash on the couch after she’s askeep! Can your SO take on any extra tasks that might allow you to rest a bit?

brie_and_almonds · September 2018

Tired AF. Also trying to taper down caffeine consumption, so that probably isn't helping.

Other than that, no real symptoms yet. I've decided that this time around I'm just not going to have morning sickness... that will work, right? RIGHT!?

mrskoz428 · September 2018

As I’m reading through your comments, I’m recognizing more symptoms. I’m feeling weird that my boobs aren’t sore! They feel totally normal! I have also had the mild cramping. It makes me nervous, even though I know it’s normal. Also, I’m having a hard time sleeping at night. Every night I’ve been waking up at 11 for about an hour to an hour and a half and at around 4 until my alarm goes off at 5. Super frustrating!

missmcgonnagal · September 2018

Forgot to mention pregnancy brain! I was just trying to explain to my hubs that I'm not "firing on all cinders" right now.

thismustbethemom · September 2018

@secicc12 Yes! My SO has actually been ridiculously helpful so far. He has taken over most cooking and bedtime in the past couple weeks. I don't know how sustainable it is since we both work full time and I don't want him to burn out. But, I think I also feel a lot of guilt about it, maybe more than I should? I need to remember my body is doing important work and be okay with slacking in other things right now. So much easier said than done though...

poshspice · September 2018

I basically have no symptoms. I'm only 4+1-ish today, so I don't think I can expect much until the end of this week. I am super bloated and my nips are BIG. Like in Ali Wong's Baby Cobra special she calls them "fingertips." Yup. I have that. I might have a touch of insomnia. I can't fall asleep until after 11pm and then wake up around 5-5:30am. Or DH wakes me when he gets up at 4:50 and I never go back to sleep. I haven't even been having caffeine during the day for the past couple of days and I feel fine, so that's weird. I wish I were on the sleepy pregnant train! I would prefer being able to sleep! I expect food aversions to be in full swing in about 4-5 more days. Trying to eat all the things while they're still appealing!

k2k2tog · September 2018

@thismustbethemom I actually don’t remember much about how I got through the first few months of being pregnant with my second DD... I know DH helped me through the mornings a lot. And I think we must have just taken our days pretty slow on the days I had my daughter (I was in school part time, she went to daycare 2-3 days a week). I know that once I got meds after my first appointment, my symptoms were a lot easier to manage. The bright side is that she and I did make it through and you will too!

ashleaf2018 · September 2018

Fatigue. Between work, school (last semester

kateandsiah · September 2018

Super tender boobs and I’ve been having these wierd muscle spasms/cramps every time I twist. So basically just pain. But to be honest I’d take this all day ever day over the nausea last pregnancy.

thismustbethemom · September 2018

@k2k2tog Thanks for your response! It's helpful to hear that you and your family made it through. And now you are doing it with two little ones running around - you rock!

akb1125 · September 2018

Crying over everything haha

kipper-2 · September 2018

Not many symptoms except major shortness of breath. The slightest exertion and I’m totally gasping for air. Also I’m so thirsty all the time.

troystory17 · September 2018

I am so tired, and have a dull headache what feels like all of the time. Also it seems like the second I'm pregnant my husbands snoring is ten times louder

bluesky24 · September 2018

I have this pressure in my pelvis, like a tightening around where my ovary is (I think?) I remember this from last pregnancy but it didn't start this early. My sense of smell must be getting better (or worse?? lol) because my dog just smells awful to me now. Poor thing.

sagems10 · September 2018

Nausea kicked in on Tuesday! And my gag reflex has been super strong, even coughing makes me gag. I've also been feeling pretty tired in the afternoons at work. And sore boobs too! Thankfully i have a very soft bra to wear, so that sure helps!

MelissaMay82 · September 2018

I have major fatigue, dull headaches, mild nausea, cramping/lower abdominal discomfort/fullness, sore boobs, low back pain, increased urination, and constipation (which then when I do have a BM I spot a little bit due to straining).

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · September 2018

How nice is my husband? *sarcasm* -- last night, he puts his hand on my belly and goes "Aww you're already showing!"

No, dear. Just bloated and full.

kvh22 · September 2018

I had a pretty good feeling at 10DPO that I was pregnant because of the cramping I had which was really similar to last pregnancy. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow so the only other thing is that since I'm still BFing, my nipples are definitely more sensitive, but I only notice that while DD is actively nursing. I was basically useless from 6-14 weeks last time so trying to take the next 2 weeks to get our place in order before it all really goes to hell.

GeorgiaGirl1230 · September 2018

@akb1125 yes! If I had a dollar for every time my chin starts to quiver and my eyes start to tear.
