@zaraanity implantation cramps? I feel kind of "off" after eating sometimes but nothing else other than that. I'm more energized than usual too but I'm thinking neither of these things are due to being KU
I don't have many symptoms yet, though I feel like since my miscarriage I am constantly "symptom hunting" and making things up! My boobs are killing me. And I am exhausted by 7pm when I am trying to get my other 2 to bed. Other than that I feel normal....
Tired, but that’s the unisom and progesterone. I get insomnia starting at the get go, so I need to take unisom to sleep as it is.
Bouts of wanting to vomit. I’m just waiting for the full blown MS to kick in during the next week or so. I’m not looking forward to the next 4 months of feeling hungover (I am not someone who has it go away at 12w).
cramps. Par for the course. They say you cramp more and more with each pregnancy 🤷🏼♀️ Not sure if that’s going to bode well for 3rd tri and early labor or if it’s unrelated..
No symptoms yet, although I am at a whopping 4w3d. I checked online to make sure my lack of morning sickness wasn't something sinister. Apparently MS usually peaks at around 8-14 weeks. So I guess I'll just sit tight and wait for the nausea to come (I had mild MS with the other kids, too, but not excessively so).
Second kid I had like 0 sore boobs, while with the first my boobs were 2 weeks of agony. Although then again, my 1st tri with the first kid fell square into the winter months, so temperature might have played a role.
@grapeskittles4lyfe my first pregnancy, I also had boob pain forever. The second time? Nope, not at all. This time? It’s hit or miss, but was what made me test at way earlier than most people would 🤷🏼♀️ Each pregnancy is different, I guess.
So far I feel pretty dang normal?! Very mild queasiness that comes and goes, mild cramping that comes and goes, but really nothing major to report. I'm glad to see that not everyone experiences sore boobs. I had it so bad early on with DD but pretty much none this time and I've been shocked. Also, still early, so we'll see.
Pretty much just super crampy. This is my 3rd and I’ve always been crampy with each pregnancy. Tired and want salt lol - that’s about it right now. I don’t have sore boobs. Interesting they were so sore with my 1st, slightly with the 2nd and none with the 3rd.
You can take Benadryl or unisom to help you sleep. The more sleep you can get at night, the easier the day is, especially when the exhaustion hits later in 1st tri. I didn’t take sleep aids until 2nd tri with DS1 and really wish I had. I was so tired. It was much easier with DS2 when I just took something to help me get a deeper sleep at night.
And pregsomnia sucks. I had it both times the whole way through. It. Sucks
@marbellie some of the fullness/tingling started in the 4-5 week time frame. I can't remember how long it lasted but I feel like it was on and off throughout the pregnancy. I noticed it starting right at week 4 this time around. Nothing painful though.....yet.
Fatigue, cramps, and sore nipples over here. I'm nervous for the morning sickness to start, but I also know that once I get it, the pregnancy will feel way more real.

I was under the impression I was only 5dpo based on fertility friend, but then I noticed I was getting contact dermatitis from my fitbit. I LIVE in my fitbit. Never take it off except to shower. The only time I had this issue I was pregnant with my son. So I took a test and here I am. I was probably really 10dpo when that happened. My resting heart rate has gone up, I am hot all the time when I am usually cold natured and I am having lots of cramping. Aside from the cramping I am really surpised by how early that all started.
Pretty symptom free so far. Last night I had insomnia and felt nauseated, but we're in the beginning stages of selling our house and it's stressing me out so that's probably the real reason lol I didn't experience any symptoms until 11 weeks with my son. I'm hoping I'll be just as lucky this go round!
@zaraanity Hi! Thank you for starting this thread. Do you mind changing the title to add "February" in it (as we will be posting a new symptoms thread each month)? Thanks!

Hi ladies! It is reassuring to hear what symptoms people are experiencing at this point. This will be my first, so I don’t know what to expect. I swear I felt nausea 13DPO when I had my BFP,but it could have been all in my head. I definitely have sore boobs, but a Medela bra from Target really helped. I feel occasional tiny cramps, but no spotting. I am definitely having insomnia, but I have this excited “Christmas is coming” feeling, so I thought that is why I could not sleep. Unisom made me have a drowsy feeling and dry mouth the day after. I might try Benadryl. I LOVE coffee, but try to limit it now. I hope I don’t have an aversion!! What other feelings should I be on the lookout for?
@annierose3 it’s going to vary by person on what symptoms you’ll have. Someone women magically don’t have any at all other than a missed period 🤷🏼♀️
I have friends that have heartburn instead of MS. I get a wonderful combo of exhaustion, MS, headaches, and constipation. I get a few weeks reprieve before heartburn kicks in. Insomnia plagued the whole time
Oh good point, @cmbt2. As of today, I can (finally, after knowing a whole week!) check "missed period" on my list of symptoms. I feel like this is a celebratory milestone! 🍾🎉
So far I'm having mild cramps, sore boobs (started wearing braletts, even to work ), mild queasiness especially if I eat too much or too fast and I'm thankful that I'm not the only one that is noticeably more tired but also having trouble falling asleep @galentine. I was thinking that it was due to the lack of my "wine night-cap".... But maybe not.
M gonna be a FTM so I don’t really know what I should expect. M 4 weeks 4 days today and have occasional cramps, sore nips and minor fatigue. I feel sleepy a lot during the day. And did I mention m gassy as well! Sorry, TMI! Lol
I think I need to go back to the chiropractor- my lower back hurts, and instead of thinking this is bad news, I’m leaning towards hip out of place again (DS1 knocked it out of place)
Howwww does something so teeny tiny suck out so much energy???? I am next level tired already
I know, right? So tired.
Speaking from a scientific standpoint, it’s not actually the baby. The progesterone and hcg are the culprit. It settles off once your placenta takes over the process of continuing the pregnancy
Re: February Symptoms??
@marbellie energized?? WTF??? I want to be you
