The last few days my morning sickness has really kicked in. Im trying to find ways to help ease it just so I can get food down. Ive heard peppermint oil helps, has anyone tried this? If so did you just buy a bottle of peppermint essential oils and smell it or did you buy an essential oil diffuser? Im really debating on buying one, but it it doesnt help then I dont want to waste my money. Im 6 weeks and had nausea since week 4 but the last few days Ive stared getting sick. Ive been chewing gum but can only do that for like 30 minutes. My nausea has been lasting the entire day with nothing seeming to really help it. really the only thing I could get down yesterday was water.
The constipation is so real the last few days. I freaking look pregnant only because I'm so full of crap! Literally. And forget eating a bunch of fiber. I'm lucky when I can eat what I'm wanting to eat, let alone things that don't sound appealing to me at all.
The weirdest thing that helped with nausea last time was tomato juice. I'd carry tiny cans around in my purse. I ready in June19 that topical magnesium can help, I saved this in my Amazon cart for when I have to cross that bridge:
The only thing that helped me with nausea other than eating last time around was lemon water. Up until my gut decided to hate me and produce too much acid, so I couldn't handle the lemon anymore. I was on Zantac for most of my pregnancy.
4w2d very sore boobs. Nausea has been there for about 2 weeks now but no puking yet. Only threw up once with DD (10 years ago!) in beginning of 2nd trimester. Extreme bloat to the point I’m about to pull out my old maternity pants already!! Just noticed increased CM this morning. Crazy how different this pregnancy is already. I don’t remember any of this stuff with my DD....
Week7 here and only bloating and minor fatigue. Sometimes I think I feel a tiny bit of nausea but I don’t know if it’s nerves or all in my head. Lack of symptoms doesn’t make this pregnancy seem quite real yet. Man, am I anxiously awaiting my first appt on 11/29!!!
@thebabynumberone@leendenny me too lol, keep thinking it's blood and freaking out. I'm pretty much the same as everyone else, achy boobs, SO. TIRED., weird appetite, upset stomach, insane sense of smell. I haven't had much nausea, but my mom said she never had morning sickness in either pregnancy so.....FX????
Lots of cramping today... it happened all throughout my first pregnancy and first tri in my second pregnancy so pretty sure it's just normal pregnancy symptom for me. Also feel like overnight my milk supply has decreased some it needs to hang on for another month or two.
Hi guys! First pregnancy here - 5 weeks 6 days today and the morning sickness has begun. Did not vomit but definitely felt like it was a possibility this morning - I have only eaten oyster crackers but am feeling better as the day goes on. 6 weeks tomorrow so I guess that’s the right timing. Other than that my boobs are tender if I press on them (which I keep doing for some reason), I’m exhausted, and have on and off heaviness feeling in my uterus. I also have consistent discharge happening - it’s kind of creamy and white. (TMI)
Happy that I’m feeling something I guess even if it’s unpleasant!
Hoping that everyone is doing well, still patiently waiting for my first ultrasound so FX until then!! ❤️
Happy 5W to me! (I think...I tried a few different due date calculators and they were all within the same three days, so I’m going with the middle date for now.) Nipples are still sensitive, but I think I’ve gotten used to it. Also got watery CM today for the first time: glad I’m not alone! I’m drowsy during the day and exhausted in the evening: I made coffee with dinner tonight just so I can stay awake! 😱
+1 for the exhaustion, fatigue and acne like a teenager! It was this way with DD until my 3rd tri, so I was hoping it would be different this go around. @nopegoat like you’ve said, each pregnancy is different!
Indigestion and stomach issues are my main symptoms as of now, which is exactly the same as my first pregnancy. I'm either constantly using the restroom or don't go for days. I forgot about this symptom until it was happening again.I just hope the morning sickness isn't as bad this time around.
So aside from major fatigue, has anyone else been experiencing insomnia? I am soooo tired all day and can fall asleep really quickly, I just can't manage to stay asleep throughout the night. Achey body + tender boobs + vivid dreams + running thoughts = scattered sleep.
@mamanessen I am falling asleep ok but lots of wake ups, tossing and turning, waking around 430-5 for an hour or for good. It’s a struggle. I hope you get some quality rest soon ❤️
Am I crazy to be feeling round ligament pain already this time? I know it’s super early but that’s a very specific kind of pain and I’m having it. I didn’t have it until the end of second or into the third trimester last time.
@ironcat2300 I feel the exact same way! I’m at 7wks as well, and only really am experiencing massive bloating and some fatigue. My boobs are larger and sore, and occasionally have mild cramping. I had had a couple short spurts of nausea, but I agree with you on thinking it may have been my nerves. It makes me nervous, but this is my first pregnancy so I’m trying to take solace in other people whove gone through the same. Our first appt is also 11/29! Wishing you the best. 💕
Anyone else having neuropathy yet? I guess my uterus is pressing on a nerve and leading to occasional and very uncomfortable burning pain down my thigh and into my knee. It's super pleasant.
6+3 today and besides the sore nips and random heaviness in my boobs and ute, the thing that is killing me is the exhaustion! Yesterday I felt like such a zombie I took a much needed rest day and stayed home. Slept in, was up for 3 hours, took a nap, went to bed early. lol. Today is much better but I'm still just draggggggggingggg. Things will randomly make me feel gaggy but no consistent morning sickness which kind of freaks me out but my mom and sister said they never had real morning sickness. I just want my first appointment to BE HERE already!
Anyone have tips on trying to get nutrients when you can’t eat anything but white carbs? Haha. I haven’t vomited but I’m nauseous - everything turns my stomach except ginger ale, crackers, and white toast.
5w5d and I am EXHAUSTED. I’ve already grown a cup size too. I’m constipated and bloated but I’ve been grateful enough to not be nauseous (yet!) I honestly embrace these symptoms because of how special it is to be creating a human
@NicholeL16 that was one of my first/only symptoms with baby 2! I've been extra cautious when moving since I got my BFP because those jolts hurt so freaking much!!!
I am 7wk1d today and nauseous constantly. My first time around I only had a bit of nausea in the mornings but this time it is all day and night for almost a week now. Also extremely tired. Maybe just feeling things more since I’m older this round! Oh and boobs! Sooo sore and sensitive which I don’t remember from last time.
Morning sickness is more like off and on all day sickness, I'm exhausted, my sense of smell is heighted and my nips hurt like no other. This is my second pregnancy and it's a lot different. I didn't have many symptoms at all with my first.

I’m getting round ligament pain to for the past 2 days sporadically. I’m not even 5 weeks in. Second pregnancy. I forgot it was a thing until I started feeling it again.
The heartburn has already started for me, and I'll have to see if I can make it to my 8 week confirmation without calling for a prescription for it! It's all that got me through the first 2 times. I also have my first of what I'm sure will be a multitude of sinus infections. My nose and throat go kaput while I grow a baby!
I’m 6w3d and feeling awful. I swear with my first constipation was my ONLY 1st tri complaint, with perhaps a bit of exhaustion.
This time it feels like my stomach has flippeda good 75%of the day. No actual vomiting yet but it’s dreadful. I’m especilly screwed on the weight gain front since the only thing that seems to be helping is eating. Ugh.
Re: Symptoms of the Week - 11/12
Edit: correct wording
July 4th
Some Dr's recommend unisom and B6. It's the same thing as diclegis which is regularly prescribed for morning sickness.

@NicholeL16 I'm already feeling it to a bit. Especially when I'm getting in and out of bed.
Nausea is kicking my butt now in the mornings. It hits the worst when I'm making my boys lunches for school. Blergh.
