@secicc12 oh trust me, I’m not upset by any means! Between all the illness my poor body is fighting, I’ll take normal BBs! 😂😂
@msb615 no LOs at home for me but when my dogs crawl on me, I definitely do not like it. So maybe they are sore and I just don’t notice it until they pups get close.
@mamajojo1981 - Yes, I have a sour mouth it's gross.
My sense of smell is driving me nuts. Even the faintest whiff of an offensive odor is making my stomach flip-flop. And I can smell everything from a mile away. Perfume needs to go to hell.

Same here - I love wearing perfume but for 2 weeks now, I've gone without it. Just cant handle it.
@mrskoz428@secicc12 no sore boobs over here, only nipples while BFing. BUT...I never had sore boobs last pregnancy. They definitely got bigger and I leaked towards the end, but never any soreness/tenderness. I've heard a lot of people say that was their first pregnancy symptom. I had 4-5 days of period-like cramping with no period which is what caused me to POAS both times. Besides EVERYONE being tired, I think the rest is a crap shoot. I have heard (and it's mostly held up, I'd say with 90% success) that the more prone you are to motion sickness, the more likely (and more severe) your morning sickness will be. I'm sure I will now get 10 people who have morning sickness but no motion sickness coming out of the woodwork
Ginger tea for the win today - it subsided my morning sickness and settled my stomach for a bit. Hope this lasts awhile, at least until I get home from work.
@mamajojo1981 is this in a tea bag or do you just put ginger root in some hot water? I’m recovering from the stomach flu and everything makes me nauseas right now!
For all you ladies complaining about your heightened sense of smell..this is my life EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. I don't know why but I have a very strong sense of smell that just gets exponentially stronger while pregnant. It's so frustrating cuz I'll smell shit that others don't and I have to suffer alone. Misery loves company. I've had to tell my sister to close her legs cuz I could smell her period. HAHAHA! I hope I just grossed the hell out of all of ya'll!
@mamajojo1981 yeah I don’t go in until the 11th. I was supposed to go in today, but I switched OBs and my new doc doesn’t see patients until 8 weeks. But yes fingers crossed! Thanks for the support!
I actually think the bad taste in mouth is thankfully one of the only symtoms I haven’t experienced! Good luck though, it should subside by the end of the first trimester from what I’ve heard. I would discuss it with your doc, they may be able to help.
New mommy to be! EDD: 05/27/19 hoping for a girl!!!
@kvh22 yup, really terrible motion sickness here but barely any morning sickness 😆 I do feel nauseous and need to eat pretty soon after the feeling starts, but eating usually makes it go away.
@mrskoz428 last pregnancy I definitely had sore boobs early on but I don’t remember exactly when. My cat would climb on me and id yelp. No soreness at all this time around 🤷♀️
@fifthemperorofthesea I like what @sleepy33 said, there’s always something. I literally have PTSD from my first birth experience. Not saying you can’t complain about your symptoms, they totally suck, but others may not be getting off as scot free as you think.
I don't remember this from my last pregnancies. I have the WORST taste in my mouth. It's super dry and just tastes sour. It's awful.
@k2k2tog I have this. It's the actual worst. Stick your tongue out and look in the mirror. I get a super disgusting coating on the back of my tongue and have to scrape it daily. Sometimes like 3x a day. Last time it went away right after delivery. Looking forward to that in 33 weeks.
@poshspice YES. I remember you talking about this but I did not put two and two together. Gonna go check my tongue now.
(Though, my tongue always looks weird... I have a geographic tongue.)

I’m so tired of feeling cruddy. I look at the calendar and think about how many more weeks I’m going to feel this way. Ugh!! I’m feeling nauseous, light headed, short of breath, exhausted, bloated, and burping all the dang time. And if I can’t burp, I gag. Yuck!

Weird dreams are here. Hoemones do crazy things to you.
Last night, I dreamt one of my former-students was in an abusive relationship with Donald Trump. I got into a car with them because I was trying to help her get away, and she got out, and then Trump tried to induce early labor by squeezing my belly, and I tried to poke his eye out with my thumb. When I finally got out of the car, he tried to run me over.
This is probably all symbolic of something... so... yeah.
@brie_and_almonds yes! I have been having the most vivid and crazy dreams for the past couple of weeks. Thankfully nothing that scares me awake, like yours probably did, but omg I’ve never dreamt so much!
@DuchessOfCambridge I know, sadly it's not too far removed from reality, though I would hope that my poking him in the eye would be more effective in real life, because in the dream it didn't seem to do anything. I must have been rolling around on my stomach or something because I swear I could feel him pushing into my belly.
@mrskoz428 It didn't scare me awake, but when I woke up I was just like ... what the fuck? I'm glad that dream-me wasn't just letting the 18-year-old stay with that abusive creep though.
The frequent peeing in the middle of the night has already begun for me. I will say that I always go to bed with a glass of water, so that doesn’t help matters, but I was up at least 3 or 4 times last night. 😳
@mrskoz428 I bought it at Trader Joe's - the brand is Yogi and it comes in a yellow box. It's in a tea bag (not loose leaf) and I only made 1 cup after I steeped it for 2-3 min (I didn't want it too strong). Absolutely had to add 2 packets of stevia to it - couldn't stand the bitterness.
I'm a bit late to this thread, buuuuuuut my two weirdest symtoms are: having intense diarrea almost daily and no appetite. The other ones I'm seeing a lot of others have are: sore boobs, heightened smell, mommy brain, and vivid dreams.
I would probably never have noticed if I weren't pregnant, but my Carraba's put their Park and Go food pickup area right beside the dumpsters, and I could smell them even when the car for was shut and the windows were closed. It was gross.
Does this smell thing have some interesting explanation that goes back to our hunting and gathering days? Like maybe we could smell the berries more easily to provide nourishment for our babies or something? If I had more energy, I would look it up.
@flutterflutter I've read that it's more along the lines of being able to avoid spoiled/rotten food, since your immune system is seriously decreased by pregnancy.
All the ladies who had been complaining about diarrhea with pregnancy....do still have it or has it resolved? I'm just curious because thankfully, this week my IBS w/ D has been under control. That's expected since we're supposed to be all clogged up during pregnancy.
I'm officially 6 weeks now! Nausea has been consistently bad. I had a weird dream that my uncle was Batman? LOL. Some guy was trying to hurt me and my uncle swooped in and turns out he was Batman. HAHAHA. I'm on day 2 of steroids and my hunger is out of control! I literally ate a CFA burger an hour and a half ago and I'm starving. Thanks roids!
My hands are clumsy AF, I keep dropping small things like my keys, earrings, phone, etc. I’ve only had my “regular” morning sickness once, but the rest of the time my stomach has been off/unsettled and food in general is unappetizing until I’m suddenly starving. My tolerance for spicy food is much higher. Gimme all the ghost pepper jelly on my triscuits (when I can eat). Already experiencing some constipation.
@expandcontract - I don’t think I’ve complained about it in this thread (just weekly check-ins), but no, diarrhea still happening about every morning for a little over a week now. I’ve been trying to stick to the BRAT diet to get some calories and not upset the applecart too much, but it doesn’t seem to matter.
New fun this week was feeling like I have the stomach flu all week, no appetite, everything tasting horrible anyway, and then passing out while in line for security at one of the largest airports in the country. Even better, I was with 3 coworkers who didn’t know, so I guess the cat is out of the bag. I’m kind of over this week.
@expandcontract - thankfully I could tell what was about to happen and grabbed my coworker while heading for the ground. She stopped my head from hitting anything and helped to prop me up while we waited for an hour for a wheelchair to arrive. I think I’m more embarrassed than anything. Plus my other coworker has been struggling to get pregnant and is going through IVF, so she had to find out as she was coming back with juice for me and the agent was requesting a wheelchair for a pregnant lady over the intercom. I just felt awful but she seemed to take the news okay. I’m at 6w4d, due 5/20.
I do not remember being this tired in my previous 2 pregnancies. I am mega struggling to stay awake past 9 which is a problem because ds2 has decided he is not going to bed until after 9. Makes it really hard to accomplish things like housework and laundry. I am also nauseous off and on all day. If I don’t eat fast enough I feel sick and light headed, but eating also makes me feel sick and I have no appetite. Fortunately I haven’t puked (I hate puking and I always end up popping blood vessels so it’s obvious when I do), but brushing my teeth makes me gag and dry heave every time!
I've not been able to do much physical activity, like not even change DD's diaper because it makes my SOB worse. I have to admit though, I'm enjoying it for now. Plus I deserve the break. Otherwise normally, I don't even sit down for five minutes when I'm home.

Also, how far along are you?
Looks like this is going to be another pregnancy with meat aversions. Sausage, bacon, and meatloaf are definitely not happening anymore.
