My legs have been so achy the past couple of days, mostly the tops of my thighs. It took forever to get comfortable in bed last night. I feel like I’m going to have to get a pregnancy pillow sooner rather than later.
The boob soreness is real. It seems so early for them to already be visibly bigger. Gonna have to go shopping soon For a few days now, my exhaustion has been alot better. Those first few weeks were miserable. Idk if it was from the exhaustion or pregnancy brain, but I was in a complete fog and couldn't keep my train of thought or remember anything! Thankfully, the constant need to pee has also subsided. Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel nauseous and eating chicken is getting more difficult. Everything is too sweet or too salty! All my favorite foods are inedible now lol
Bloating, Headaches, Bone and joint pain (both hips), And I literally CANNOT EAT ANYTHING without getting the sudden urge to puke! I eat 3/4 bites of anything and then have to be done
The nausea is killer. I think I will just have to live off of guac and chips from now on. Lol. I can deal with the tender boobs but the nausea is so annoying!!!
and why does no one talk about the constipation!! Omg that was so bad until I started really upping my water in take.
I am super, SUPER tired, going pee all the time, weird mouth taste and a few mild cravings and aversions. I’ll try the lemon water someone else mentioned. The weirdest thing though? Waist thickening. I know it’s probably just bloating (since I’m only about 6 weeks) but I “showed” really early with my third, and my Dr said there’s muscle memory in your uterus, so it is possible to start “expanding” very early on. Six weeks seems ridiculous though.
I’m 6 weeks today. Still no nausea but the smell of my coffee this morning was so bad I didn’t even take one sip. Only want bland foods and ice water with lemon. Really tired today and incredibly irritable. My clothes are super tight bc I’m so bloated. Lol good times! 🤗
So sorry for all the nausea ladies. I'm so thankful to not have that. But, on the (literal) other end of things...alternating diarrhea and constipation is NOT FUN. I'd like my bowels to decide what they want, so I can commit to whatever bowel regimen it wants.
I was commenting just a couple of days ago to MP that I wasn't feeling that sick just bloated from progesterone supplements so my PGAL brain was in hyper drive. But it hit me like a ton of bricks starting on Monday. I guess when they say it usually starts at 6 weeks they mean it. I'm constantly sipping peppermint tea to help. I would prefer ginger but have read too much could be harmful so I don't know what to think. Plus I started having the round ligament pain which felt like I was being stabbed on the side of my groin. Super weird! Good luck with all the symptoms ladies!
Anyone else cold? I’m fine during the day but once the evening hits I’m freezing, like I put on a sweatshirt lol. It’s 90 degrees out and my ac is on 76 so it’s not crazy cold in my house. Dh is actually complaining it’s too hot lol.
@kbrown2385 I’ve been wearing a sweatshirt in my house all day...and it’s set at 73 so also not super cold. But I am constantly freezing. Until I get warm. Then I’m too hot 🤦🏻♀️
I get nauseous when I don’t have enough protein. My last two pregnancies I lived on hard boiled eggs in the morning. I realized if I get too hungry I get nauseous. If I snack throughout the day, it helps me. Also, bloating and sore boobs here.
8 weeks today, been nauseous pretty much all day and feel like I’m surviving on carbs! No vomiting though which I’m thankful for. Also the boobs. I feel like I’m being stabbed in them! For the nausea I wear sea bands and those take the edge off as well as ginger candies. And constantly eating crackers. Crazy how such a little thing can make us feel so different!
Welp, as of yesterday and again today, anytime I eat anything, no matter how mild, I get hit with heartburn that lasts for what feels like hours. It's fairly mild as far as heartburn goes but it still sucks. I think I'd rather have morning sickness, which I still haven't gotten. 🤷♀️
@peppyj9 ugh that's the worse. I had heartburn like that right around my missed period. But I also got a vegan pizza out. I never get heartburn ever so it was definitely weird. I was chalking it up to the pizza but now I'm thinking it could have been a combo blow of pizza and way early signs LOL.
*lurking waiting for FEB BMB* Protein aversion is a first symptom for me (was last time too). DH knew I was KU the moment I started referring to eggs as "chicken farts". I swear I love boiled eggs most of the time.
@leprechaunlady yes it is! I was asleep for probably 2 hours and have been up since midnight. No signs of falling back asleep anytime soon. I’ve also got some restless leg going on so that’s adding to it as well.
Yesterday and today I’ve had a ton of energy. I’m not complaining. It’s been great. And yesterday I ate like a cow finally. I hope this lasts. I can’t take the tender boobs a lot easier than the nausea.

anyone else have that weird taste in their mouth? Mine just won’t go away and it just adds to the nausea, lemon water seems to help though.
I hope everyone is ready to have a great week!
