Hi Ladies (i'm new here but just thought I'd jump in). I am tired, like beyond belief exhausted. I just got cleared to continue my walking (was on a semi bed rest) and I'm hoping it helps because I have no idea how to get this energy back. I feel so bad because once I get home I want to go straight to bed and usually do after I put my daughter to bed haha.
I was getting morning sickness but so far haven't had much of that lately.
So I guess it's time to update my symptoms (at 7w3d): * Nausea, all day, every day (with a rare really bad day) * Lots of hunger, kind of like PMS hunger * Mildly sore breasts, but no growth yet * Dizziness that I keep confusing for sinus issues * Nightly dreams that are weirder than my normal ones * Forgetfulness, which is completely out of the ordinary for me * Getting up to pee in the middle of night, usually more than once
Yeah, it’s a bit absurd. With DS1, I started as barely needing a 32C and ended up a 32F (so filled out the C, D, DD, E, and then F). With DS2, I was a solid 32C and worked my way to a 32FF. It was unpleasant, and I’m not exactly thrilled to have them grow at the same rate again 😪.
@cmbt2 maybe this time they won't over achieve 🤷♀️
Mine definitely hurt and are swollen. I am filling my cup a lot better then I did 2m ago for sure.
Adding lower back pain as a new syptom. It's center and a constant ache when sitting but if I move, holly h&%^ does it hurt. I don't recall doing anything this morning to irritate it so I'm assuming it's just "welcome to pregnancy" I'm going home to lay down and likely take a hot shower.

They’re definitely overachievers.
Your back sounds exactly like mine until i learned my hip was out of place. I hope it lets up!
@cmbt2 Wow! I’m still in my same bras. Where are my magical growing breasts? I command them to appear!
Yes! Same here. haha! Except I really like my current bra (it actually holds the girls in without an underwire and is so comfy!) but it isn't available in a larger size.
Now at week 8, all day nausea that intensifies at night has appeared. Fortunately, I'm still not 🤮 but I am completely turned off by food. Crazy change from the past few weeks where I couldn't get enough of food! Working on trying to find things that are filling and don't make my stomach do flips. The idea of going to a restaurant disgusts me 😂 (H's birthday is Saturday and we're going out to a Brazilian steakhouse Sunday. Not sure how that's gonna go 🤷)
I've started sleeping better at night and the crazy dreams have subsided. Can't seem to nap in the middle of the day due to feeling restless (even though I feel wiped out).
6 days away from that first appointment! Can't wait to see the little nugget ❤️😍
Early morning insomnia has started for me 🙄 I’ll be so tired but have to pee...then once I get back in bed it’s tossing a turning for a couple of hours
ALL MY FOOD TASTES WRONG. I am so upset about this. Yesterday I went to ChickFilA because I was so tired. My sandwich tasted like it had been rolled in a gallon of salt and my fries tasted like soggy cardboard. Normally this is my favorite fast food.
The only things that have tasted "right" in the last three days are asparagus, jelly beans, and a five guys burger. Everything else, even fruit, is just wrong. Or bland. Or too salty. Or too spicy. Or too metallic.
@melanier26 this is happening frequently to me too 😭 @wintersong the taste of salt has been so ramped up for me. I keep yelling at DH for over salting our dinners, but it turns out it's just me lol
I am too pooped to scroll back, but whoever asked about a lack of patience (maybe not even this thread? Who even knows anymore) I am 100% there today. I have a class of ~30 juniors who are just the WORST. I know I shouldn't say that about my students, but honestly, most of them don't want to be in school and are just ruining the class for those who at least just want to pass and get out.
@Cass005, mine too ugggghhhh. I had a glorious week when I felt really good. Then this morning I gagged on my granola bar and spent the next 10 minutes hugging the toilet and praying it wouldn't come back up.
@wintersong I went to Chick-fil-A last week and only ate half my order.... It didn't even taste good. Just salty and greasy! I was so sad because I love Chickfila and there aren't many around so it's been over a year since my last meal there 😭
@wintersong@marbellie Chick Fil A is usually a go-to for us when I don’t feel like cooking because it’s so good and I feel like it’s less greasy than other fast food (I’m probably wrong but don’t tell me). But unfortunately it hasn’t sounded at all appetizing to me. Such a bummer
Nothing sounds appetizing to me lately, except maybe queso and honey bunches of oats. I can't even stomach my morning coffee, so I'm hungry and tired lol.
I feel bad for my husband because I am just not a fun person to be around in the evenings! He's super chatty, while the only sounds coming from me are dramatic sighs, yawns and farts. I start the mornings pretty normal and happy, but as the day goes on I run out of energy and just can't muster any pleasantness.
@Snaps816 --- I've been feeling this way too. My H is a really fun and spontaneous guy. Lately I feel like all I do is feel sick or hungry and have no idea what I can eat that will agree with me. I feel like a very boring and flat version of myself.
Anything that anyone is eating that helps keep them full and actually doesn't turn the stomach upside down?
@Snaps816 same! I told MH the other day I was starting to just feel annoying when everyday he asks how I am and I said nauseous and tired... like just assume that’s my answer until I tell you otherwise 😆
@jhokaj524 Someone mentioned Cheerios as a snack the other day, and that actually helped me feel full longer than most breakfasts I've tried recently. Greek yogurt also helps a bit.
Feeling weird Braxton Hicks-like feelings. It feels way too early for that!
It is, at least usually. Do you think it could be constipation? Mine had become irritating the last two weeks, even feeling like cramps until I can go. (I have been getting cramps too.)
In my experience, BH were more like breathlessness. Like my whole abdomen (which was my uterus at that point, lol) would get really tight and I couldn't catch my breath until it was over. But not really painful if that makes sense.
Definitely seems too early, but feels on point with what I experienced with my last two pregnancies. Unless I just have like three babies in there wrestling for space or something. 🙊
I am taking ritual prenatals this time and have no constipation at all so it can’t be that!
@melanier26 yes, finally!! I was also walking around the house trying to get things moving. I could only eat crackers for supper because I was in so much pain 😫. Feeling much better this morning.
Food doesn't taste good to me either. Metallic taste, everything is just blah.
Also, I've been getting this jittery feeling a lot. I'm thinking dehydration or low blood sugar? IDK! I don't think low blood sugar though because it doesn't improve when I eat. Maybe dehydration but I've been trying to drink enough water. Anyone else getting this? It's miserable.
@aprosch Are you sleeping enough? How about exercising? I ask because if I haven't moved enough in a day, I feel restless and jittery. Also, if I'm over-tired I get jittery.
I've been dealing with some chills for a couple weeks now, where I feel hot and cold at the same time (how on earth is that possible?). Sometimes that makes me a bit jittery, but I think it's more accurate to describe it as just shivering.
@meagan-t I get 8 hours of sleep most nights. Not exercising because I just don't have the time right now but I am moving all the time since I have a pretty physical job. And of course all the stress from grad school I'm sure isn't helping!
