Symptoms Week of 10/1

nmbrcrnchr1 · October 2018

*I know these are supposed to start on Sunday but since the board didn’t open until Monday figured it would be ok to start this today*

How/what are you feeling this week?

srscott3 · October 2018

On and off sore boobs, bloating, and nausea for the past couple weeks. But of course now I’m worried because I haven’t had many symptoms at all the past 2 or 3 days

I don’t remember what early symptoms were like with DD so I can’t remember if that’s normal or not. I know Dr. Google says it could mean a loss but I’m not going to go down that rabbit hole just yet.

@srscott3 I've also got bloating, sore boobs, and some mild nausea (on and off, for all 3 except the bloating, which is CONSTANT). I probably eat too much salt, though, because I've had low blood pressure my whole life and my dr. has always told me to eat more salt to get it up...gonna have to find a new strategy, I guess, because the water retention in my hands means I can't even get my wedding ring off (and it's usually a little loose).

Sore boobs and nausea. Some smells bother me. Last night DH made some hoisin meatballs with lo mein and I couldn’t stand the smell.

jhems776 · October 2018

4w6d STM: Sore and sometimes painful boobs and mild to extreme nausea. I didn't feel nauseous at all until 6ish weeks last time. I am tired but am wondering how much this is from pregnancy or from not having 2 coffees, 3 teas, and a 2 diet pepsi's a day....

ravenclaw415 · October 2018

5w2d, FTM: I am having constipation and gas. I have changed my diet so that basically all food I eat contains fiber (apples, bananas, raisins, green veggies, whole wheat, etc.) and working out daily and it has improved the situation (I've successfully gone to the bathroom for the past few days). If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know

I am hoping the nausea stays away! I've heard from everyone that most don't get it until 6 weeks at the earliest.

luckystar28 · October 2018

5 weeks 1 day, STM: I am HUNGRY! And tired. With sore boobs. And nausea. Hoping that means all is well in there. 3 weeks until my first appointment blerghhhhh

mrsjqg1024 · October 2018

Headaches and this weird left side/back pain the past 2 days. It's freaking me out too. Not sure if it's gastrointestinal or has to do with my pregnancy. It's similar to how it feels when I ovulate. Could this be a cyst? Prolly going to call the doctor tomorrow and mention it. Other than that- a little tired. I didn't start any nausea in my last pregnancy until at least 5 weeks.

carleym93 · October 2018

4w4d: Soreish boobs, RLP, and really tired. Not sure how much fatigue is from pregnancy or from
not having caffeine. I had some wiked cramps last week that have tapered away. I’ve been having leg cramps at night which is odd. My symptoms kind of come and go, so just trying to relax and remember that today, I’m pregnant!

marijaa333 · October 2018

I've had tingly boobs, gas, burping, fatigue, RLP, occasional mild nausea, and almost all of these symptoms come and go. At this moment, it's boobs and fatigue. I might have to take a nap.

TJtheGoat · October 2018

I’m 5 weeks today. My boobs are huge and I alternate between shivering and sweating. My coffee tastes horrible, which makes me want to cry, especially since I am sooo tired. Also, got my second beta results and everything is doubling as it should. I’m so relieved!

luckystar28 · October 2018

@ravenclaw415 Kefir? I’m also taking a pregnancy probiotic by Pink stork

eleven_ · October 2018

4w 2d today. My boobs are killing me and I've had mild cramping which has me v v anxious. I was super nauseous last night before going to sleep and I've just started experiencing food aversions.

jhems776 · October 2018

I wanted to add past symptoms just for the earlier ladies to see as they join. From 3w3d till about 4w3d I had mild to moderate cramps. They are normal and I had them last time too, still, a mind f when newly pregnant.
Also, add me to list of hungry! Trying to not give in much but I want all the food.

kells621 · October 2018

5 weeks. Sore boobs. When I stand up after being seated in an upright position, my abdomen feels stiff. Gas, bloating, and mild food aversion that I attribute to the fact that I’m overeating (lots of salted nuts), prob due to caffeine withdrawal. My BMs have become more regular.

Erin1510 · October 2018

5w2d - sore boobs, super smelling abilities, intermittent nausea, trouble sleeping, peeing all.the.time, irritable, and SO hungry.

I had more nausea leading up to getting a positive around 3w4d and last week. Feeling hopeful that nausea will stay away most of like time like it did during my first pregnancy. It peaked around 9-10 weeks and then I was fine.

I had mild cramping for most of week 3 and week 4. That's subsided. It was never painful, just noticeable. I know it is normal but it can still be worrisome of course. Uterus growing, baby implanting, all that jazz.

runyogamom · October 2018

4w5d - so much bloating and gas. Everything smells right now too. That's different than last time. Some RLP and mild nausea off and on. Food aversions are starting to become more regular and making it difficult to decide what I want to eat...

ravenclaw415 · October 2018

@luckystar28 That's a great idea! Could I get a similar result by adding yogurt? I have been thinking maybe Activia would help?

ncm1919 · October 2018

My sore boobs wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have a toddler ping ponging off them constantly. That’s my only real symptom thus far. I’m traveling for work this week so I will be in lots of cabs. That was my worst symptom last time- almost puking in Uber’s. Great way to get your rating up

emeraldcity603 · October 2018

I'm 5 weeks and a few days. I'm not sure the exact number, lol. I have had on and off nausea. I woke up with a really bad wave of it the other night around 3 in the morning.

I also have started to feel pain in my right sciatic nerve. I can't believe this is happening so early. This means this is going to be a rough pregnancy for me, which likely means I am carrying a girl. I have the easiest pregnancies when I'm carrying a boy and the worst with girls. Our last baby was a girl and I had bad morning sickness and my husband even said, "it must be a girl."

TJtheGoat · October 2018

@Natinat6 Oh yes with the cabs! I ride public transit to work and our trains are full of smelly people

luckystar28 · October 2018

Did anyone have carpal tunnel in previous pregnancies? I had it so bad last time and I’m dreading getting it again. I even slept with hand braces! Fingers crossed I don’t experience that again 😬

nmbrcrnchr1 · October 2018

@luckystar28 I didn’t with my DD but I have woke up twice in the past week and my hand has been numb. I’m hoping it’s just bc I’m sleeping on my side

AFM, I’m exhausted, having vivid dreams that wake me up in the MOTN and then I can’t fall back asleep. My other symptoms are pretty come and go (nausea, headaches, and sore boobs). Oh and the bloat is real!!! My hips also hurt, but I’m not sure if that’s pregnancy related or from running 🤔

got my third beta back today and it’s rising so I have an US next week, makes my come and go symptoms seem ok!

navyblueladybug · October 2018

This boob pain is UNREAL! Ouch! I’m also super hungry but have bouts of not wanting to eat and can smell everything... including myself, I’m smelly. Lots of gas, some heartburn and pulling sensations in my lower abdomen every once in a while. My first pregnancy symptom was mild cramping, but I wasn’t supposed to get AF for a week, so that tipped me off. I’m very thirsty, peeing a lot and I’m tired, but I can’t sleep. Staying asleep is the hardest part, and working night shift doesn’t help. Not really any nausea yet, but I didn’t really get any with DD (knock on wood).

ncm1919 · October 2018

My boobs are killing me. It probably doesn’t help that I have a 29 lb ping pong ball of a toddler bouncing off them constantly.

I’m also finding that I’m nauseous in the back of Ubers just like my other two pregnancies. Im traveling for the next 8 days so this should go great. Puking in the back of an Uber raises your rating

spacepiraterunner · October 2018

@navyblueladybug I'm having the same sleeping issues. Any STMs have advice on how to fall alseep and stay asleep? I'm assuming taking Sudafed is a no-no.

stokesm21 · October 2018

I had a great pregnancy with my first aside from some pretty terrible hip pain. This one has me nauseous already so my appetite isn't great.

As for sleep issues, try magneisum glycinate. It doesn't necessarily put you to sleep but relaxes you thus helping you fall asleep easier. I take it every night. If 1 doesn't work, try 2. I believe you can go up to 3/4. I can tell when it's taking effect because I just let go and sleep like the dead haha!

ibreemaboo · October 2018

4w5d today. Sore boobs, mild cramping, and sleep issues. I fall asleep super early at 9pm on the couch, then DH wakes me up to get me to go to bed. But then have trouble falling asleep the second time!

No nausea yet, though it was very mild with my first pregnancy. I planned a 6hr road trip with friends for next weekend before I knew I was pregnant. I'm trying to decide if I should still go! Has anyone else travelled or driven long distances while 6wks pregnant? Did you get nauseous?

Either way, I'll probably have to tell them I'm pregnant which I do not want to do

I prefer to keep the news private until my first Dr appt, as last time was a mmc. Haven't told my family yet either!

navyblueladybug · October 2018

@ibreemaboo We are going to Disney World in 11 days so I’ll let you know how that goes! I normally hate flying and get motion sick on planes and on long car trips so this should be interesting. Xanax is my non-pregnant friend in the sky but that’s a big no-no right now 😩

meatballs37 · October 2018

Camp cramp over here. Worst symptom ever for first tri. 😔

ravenclaw415 · October 2018

New symptom today. I just walked passed a student (I am a high school teacher) and had to hold my breath he smelled soooo bad. I guess the heightened sense of smell is just starting up! I am in for 8 more long months with all these smelly teenage boys (yuck, but thankfully no Axe users this semester) and girls wearing smelly perfume (why must you spritz yourself 10 times.... overkill!).

jhems776 · October 2018

@ibreemaboo I did a 10 hour one a few times in my second tri, so past the first tri nausea but I'm a horribly motion sick person so it didn't feel any different than non-pregnant. You can still take Dramamine while pregnant, I just did last week when I flew, and ask to sit in the front. I feel you on being forced to tell early, last week was a business trip and they are pretty boozy with my small four-person group and ended up telling after being asked a few times why I wasn't drinking.

@meatballs37 I agree, such a mind fk. I cramped the whole first week I found out and then they stopped for 5 days but now back again. Ugh, so unsettling.

hayleysullivan63 · October 2018

@ravenclaw415 I am a high school teacher too and unfortunately I am doing a liver lab this week.

I was also very dizzy and tired today but I am not longer spotting so yayaya

luckystar28 · October 2018

Headache from hell today....any suggestions? Drinking water like crazy isn't helping.

carleym93 · October 2018

I’m having an insane amount of leg cramps this week 😟

catmommac · October 2018

So nauseated today.

jhems776 · October 2018

TMI Gross - Warned

I've been having a lot of CM, sometimes my panties are wet so I've started wearing a panty liner now. This happened last time too but still like 3x a day I think I've started spotting and run to the bathroom.

prpl11butterfly · October 2018

@jhems776 me too. From the moment I woke up this morning.

nmbrcrnchr1 · October 2018

@jhems776 @prpl11butterfly +1, it’s slowed down this week but holy cow it’s awful!

ncm1919 · October 2018

I had to walk 5 blocks in 65 degree weather and ended up drenched. I soaked through my shirt. I don’t remember this. Is this normal?

chikin_mama_3 · October 2018

So. Much. Nausea. I haven’t been able to even think of eating anything all day. It’s been getting progressively worse as the days have gone on, but thankfully I haven’t been sick yet. Sometimes my stomach will hurt as if it’s being stretched, but it doesn’t worry me.
