@craftywitch I’m currently on vacation sharing a room with my nursing 20 month old—so there’s just no sleeping 😂 thank god I’m just used to it now after 2 kids.
My boobs are super sore. How long is this going to last 😩 ? Shout out to my dog who jumps directly on them at least once a day. Is anyone else completely exhausted?! I can make it through work but after I’m completely drained.
@mb228 and @brookert615 I’m also super tired. I went to bed at 8:45pm last night and it was still light outside 😳 I still woke up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all.
@mb228 YES! I'm exhausted! Just had lunch, sitting in my office headbobbing away even after I fell asleep at 8:30pm last night. It feels like a blanket of sleep that I can't distract myself from.
I've been having cramps/vagina aches all morning and a mild headache. Neither of which I felt with DD so I'm feeling a bit spooked out. DD told my belly button today "Stick in there baby! Don't fall out!" It made me want to cry and vomit.
This isn't quite a symptom but I'm on week 3 of Invisalign and nothing is more annoying than putting them in and out to constantly eat and brush my teeth. But I'm so excited for straightened teeth!
I’m experiencing lots of typical symptoms like sore boobs and nausea, and cramping throughout the day. I’m curious: Is there anyone currently experiencing depression? I feel so bad for even suggesting that I could be sad right now but I am. I’ll spare all the details but I’m stressed out and terrified and it’s resulted in some seriously sad and depressing thoughts and emotions. I don’t think it’s strictly pregnancy related. I think I’m dealing with some stuff and the pregnancy is making it worse because it’s adding some stress. But it’s definitely there and it’s robbing me of feeling happy about my baby right now. I would never hurt myself or my child, but it’s so draining to feel so sad all the time. Is this something that my midwife can help with?
@taylork2020 there is such thing as perinatal depression. Please do talk to your midwife, she could refer you to someone for counseling and possibly get on anti-depressants. If she doesn’t take you seriously and get you a referral, find someone who will.
I haven't had a lot of symptoms yet, either, but we did have a scare yesterday. Fortunately everyone is fine, but I put the details in a spoiler in case of possible TW.
I had a sudden onset of sharp, painful cramps at work yesterday combined with bright red bleeding and clotting that almost immediately soaked through my underwear. I rushed straight to the doctor who confirmed via ultrasound/examination that the cervix was still closed and there were both a yolk sac and a gestational sac measuring on track for 5.5 weeks. The bleeding and the cramps gradually lessened and eventually stopped completely around 24 hrs later. The doctor said to take today off work, not because it would have made a difference in the outcome, but because if it had progressed to a miscarriage, she said I should be at home for it. Fortunately, that didn't happen and the baby is fine.
@DDRRT1982 Thanks! Here's to hoping that we used up all of our bad luck and negative energy and everything is smooth sailing from here on out. The doctor was very understanding and said they see women come in quite often for it, especially with first pregnancies when you don't know what to expect.
@noxcanthus That’s scary! Sorry you had to go through it, but I’m glad your ultrasound came out okay!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Ah, my MOTN insomnia is here again. Just like with my son. I wake up needing to pee, and then take hours to fall back to sleep (or like today, don’t fall back to sleep at all). Working a 12 hour shift on 5 hours of sleep is going to be super fun!
@daffodil_shoe The doctor didn't say. They did two ultrasounds, including a very long and detailed one, so I assume if they had seen it they would have said something.
@daffodil_shoe Okay, I didn't know that was a thing and glad you brought it up! It just started happening this week to me! I sleep like a baby until I wake up though! So weird!
I’m having all the symptoms. Ugh. My nausea started 5 DPO. I thought I just had an electrolyte imbalance because I get very mild nausea when my body needs electrolytes. Yeah, the nausea never went away and got progressively worse as the days/weeks went by. Now I know why. I’ve also got majorly sore boobs and they’ve already gone up a cup size. I’m exhausted and taking like 3 hr naps every day. I’m cramping. I’ve got pelvic pressure and lower back pain. I’ve got a heightened sense of smell. I’ve got that metallic taste when I drink water. I’ve got these random almost like a panic attack throat constriction things going on. I’m so bloated already that I can’t button my jeans. I’m only 5-6 weeks pregnant (3rd pregnancy). Ugh. It’s gonna be a long first trimester.
I am so so sick. I’ve been throwing up every day since the week before my missed period. God forbid I smell the dishwasher, toilet, ketchup and mayo and that’s an automatic throw up. Who ever said “morning sickness” is a liar haha, all day for me... especially at night! My boobs are also very sore, I’m bloated, breaking out and very cranky. Basically I’m a big ball of full over here.
@DDRRT1982 my nose has super powers now too. I can smell my coworkers’ shampoo from 10 feet away! Not looking forward to when the constant nausea sets in, and ladies are pooping in labor and I start gagging. Or when I’m assisting on a csection, I’m concerned the smell of the Bovie might bother me too.
@vdphillips yeah whoever decided to call it “morning” sickness was definitely sadistic lol. I was sick all day every day until 20 wks with my son before it eased up a bit and switched to throwing up from heartburn instead of nausea. Even though it sucks, in a messed up way I’m thankful for it because it is reassuring. I am also very thankful that I’m a SAHM this time and not working in the food industry because that was awwwwful. Hugs to all of you with stinky jobs! Now I just throw up over dirty diapers
Oh and the super sensitive sense of smell has kicked in and told me I really need to do laundry like yesterday. DH must have thrown something wet in the basket and it’s smelling up the entire apartment
I was wondering when the nausea would kick in, and now it finally has! Seems like when I'm hungry is when it is pretty bad, usually moreso at night during my night shifts trying to be discreet and sip my ginger ale to not give myself away. I might have to start carrying candy around and just constantly nosh on those to keep the nausea at bay. I'm usually more of a savory vs sweet person but lately all the sweet things have been tasting delish to me!

I read something recently that MS might be worse when your blood sugar is lower. Not sure of the validity of that, but is kind of a good argument for ensuring frequent/small snacks.
Peppermint candy canes have worked wonders for me when I’m nauseous. Hoping for the best for those of you with MS/HG.

Anyone else weepy? I’m ready for that “reasons my pregnant self is crying” thread already I think. Usually not a crier at all, cried three times today. WTH
I’m approaching 6 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. Prior to today hearing I wasn’t pregnant from my doctor seemed like a dream and that it actually wasn’t happening. Didn’t have hardly any symptoms. I woke up today with extremely sore breasts and nipples and haven't been able to stop peeing. I guess this is really happening 🥰
I'm 7 weeks and dying. The nausea is killing me. I kind of wish I would just go ahead and throw up. It's so overwhelming, I haven't moved from my bed for hours. I feel bad since we're on vacation and all I want is to get back home so I can sleep undisturbed.
@craftywitch yep, happy stuff keeps making me tear up! I’m usually fine attending births...not that they aren’t wonderful, but after you’ve assisted in hundreds, it loses its emotional tugs. But this week I’ve been tearing up!
@MsIan Hear you on that! Hope you’re able to feel better and enjoy your vacation! Are you snacking often? I’ve been trying to have string cheese, yogurts, crackers every couple hours and that’s helped a lot!
The only symptom I was having was the sore boobs. And it was freaking me out that things weren’t right (and POAS more to check). Then, yesterday I cried twice on the last day of school. It normally is bittersweet but I usually don’t cry! Today I started to feel a bit nauseous and fell asleep randomly on the couch this afternoon. It’s weird to be happy to get unpleasant symptoms but makes me more confident that everything is ok!
I am currently 5w5d. I experienced a loss at 7w4d with my first back in April and I'm terrified. I knew I was pregnant before I even missed my period. There was cramping, acne, and those weird dreams. My boobs are sore off and on but no real nausea yet. I want all the symptoms so I can feel some relief that this baby will stick! I know that makes no sense but here I am.
@elmann1 I finished Invisalign in March. So annoying but definitely worth it.
so far my symptoms are sore boobs and not being very hungry. Last week before I found out I was pregnant, my turkey sandwich seemed so gross. I didn’t think anything of it at the time! I hope I will continue to have mild symptoms but I know every pregnancy can be different.
