Y’all. The insomnia is killing me. I honestly don’t even think that I the exhaustion I feel during the day counts as 1st tri related exhaustion. It’s just plain old exhaustion because I’m running on fumes. I fell asleep putting my 3 year old to bed and I can pretty much guarantee that screwed me over for tonight too. My back sprain does seem to be healing so maybe getting out of the house and moving around a bit more over the next few days will help 🤞 because this is getting real old real fast
@mcewen3 I keep falling asleep putting the boys to bed and then find myself awake at 11 struggling to fall back asleep. The struggle is real! Hope you get some shut eye soon.
@Stormiewinter DH even woke me up like 15 min after I fell asleep. But I’m like a toddler, even a super short but late nap screws up my night by hours 😂
@robyn2201 the burping, yes! And then the burping turns into hiccups for he. Didn't have this last time.
Take a zantac. Burping and hiccuping are signs of reflux. If you take one I bet neither will be a problem anymore.
My son keeps doing both and now I have to give him otc prilosec.

i have had a few bouts of diahrea. My other symptoms seem to come and go. This week I started getting nauseous in the evenings and my gag reflex is in overdrive. Last pregnancy I couldn’t even brush my teeth without gagging.
@mcewen3 Benadryl and unisom are okay to take during pregnancy for insomnia (per my NP). I’ve been using unisom.
If I don't start sleeping soon I may talk to my doctor about options. I've never taken sleeping meds before though, and they really freak me out. Bouts of insomnia are not new to me, but I've always been terrified I wouldn't hear the kids if I took something so I've toughed it out.
So now the hunger has hit me. I get ravenous out of nowhere. But nothing sounds good to eat. Its like a cruel freaking joke.

Sense of smell in overdrive. And nausea that comes and goes all day. Nauseous if i dont eat or if i do Also so tired i could go to bed at 2pm every day. Oh yeah, the fatigue makes me nauseous too 😝. But I’ll take it if that means baby is healthy
@mrskoz428 oh! These look great! You have inspired me to go on a sour candy run later today! Thought my nausea was gone today, but no, gagged brushing my teeth. Can first trimester hurry up and be done with yet?
Laying in bed trying to not throw up! I feel like today it might just be inevitable.
Benadryl is def safe during pregnancy. I had a really bad reaction to a mosquito bite my last pregnancy and my arm swelled up and ached so bad I would wake up from the pain. My Dr said Benadryl was fine. That being said, I’ve never taken it for an extended period of time 🤷♀️
I’m sooo crampy like I’m about to get my period. I remember this from last time but forgot how strong the pain can be!
I’m glad you said this. First pregnancy and every time I feel a cramp I freak out! I know I’m still early on and want to be cautious but the few people I’ve told are telling me to be excited and just enjoy the ride!

Cramps can be really scary, so I don’t blame you. Last pregnancy I was so worried over them. One day around 9w I had really horrible cramps, bad enough that I couldn’t stay at work. I was terrified and went to urgent care - everything was fine but it’s such a mind game!
I spent the day freaking out that I felt too good. Now I’m laying on the couch and the room is spinning and I’m gagging. 6 weeks tomorrow- bring on the morning sickness
I had a very rough day yesterday. My nausea and asthma were quite bad. I couldn't do anything. I was ravenous hungry and nauseous all the time. And then today, extremely minimal nausea. Im a little concerned why it did such a 180 but also am enjoying it while it lasts. And most thankfully, last night, I was finally able to breathe somewhat normally. Thats the longest its ever taken for the steroids to take effect.
Any STMs feeling like their uterus is already busting through their belly button? Goodness, it feels like my abs are splitting apart and I’m just hitting 9 weeks! What’s going to happen over the next 30?!
@MaggieG183 - Yup. I'm only 5 weeks 2 days and I feel a little blump above my pubic bone. I've heard you get larger and show earlier with the next one! My poor cousin's wife got *huge* with her 2nd and everyone asked if she was having twins. It was a singleton, she just got really bloated. Something to look forward to, eh?
@maggieG183 I was just thinking the same thing yesterday! I barely showed until 16 weeks with my first and I'm already at that point now. Yikeeees. Hoping it's just bloat for now!

ME! I feel like this kid feels insanely heavy in my uterus even though it's just 8 weeks.

@mamajojo1981 I bought them at an all natural store in my town. They aren’t sour, like it says, but I helps me salivate enough where it helps my nausea, but they are super sweet. So give and take.
@secicc12 and @psychobutthead Oh my goodness! Yes! The bloat is what I'm chalking it all up to, but every once in a while I feel like I can feel my uterus just pushing right up in there. I know it's supposed to be down below my pubic bone still, but I swear it's way higher than that some days. I was laying on my back last night and it seriously feels like it's just a couple inches from my belly button.
Hey all!! Im new to this thread and want to weigh in on my symptoms... today marks 9 weeks for me.
fatigue: i had severe fatigue weeks 5 and 6. Like I was going to bed at 830pm. Weeks 7 & 8 I’ve been tired, but able to at least stay up until 10pm 😂 also, I’m too tired to work out. I was an avid spin/hiker prior to pregnancy and haven’t been able to muster the energy to do either. A brisk 30 minute trail walk is about as much as I can do these days.
bloat: I feel like a 🐡. My boobs are growing at an alarming rate, having grown a size and half I’m sure. I need new bras stat. But all I feel like wearing are supportive sports bras.
nausea: first felt the quease At 5 weeks but since week 6, it’s been brutal. No actual vomiting yet, but just nausea all through the day. It subsided after eating a little bit but I seldom get a long reprieve from it. Last week it was pretty bad morning to mid afternoon, but lately it’s been all day. Ugh.
Smell/food aversions: cant do coffee anymore. The smell of the fridge is also gross. Candles and perfume make me wanna gag. Just find a real heightened sense of smell.
dreams strange and unpleasant. I don’t always recall but a few have been about sex with VERY unlikely partners 😂 also been sweating a lot at night.
i think those are the major symptoms. They aren’t intolerable but I sure do hope they’ll subside after 1st trimester!
