@runwmusic I’m in the same boat! I’ve had very few symptoms over the last few days, with the exception of having little to no appetite (no nausea, though). But my HCG level was 94,000 on Monday (which is plenty high for my stage) and my ultrasound yesterday showed a normal embryo with a healthy heartbeat. I completely understand the anxiety you feel when symptoms go away, but hopefully it just means we both got it easy this time around?
@ladyscientist823 I had terrible nausea and actually threw up three times since getting pregnant. The fact that it's gone away makes me worry. I'm still exhausted and my heart rate climbs from simple tasks. Ugh cannot wait for second tri.
@pourmeanothermocktail that was me last week—constant switch between nauseous with no appetite to ravenous and eating a ton. This week I‘ve just been plain nauseous and nothing sounds good. I’ve been trying to be good about staying hydrated and eating lots of protein because I know it should help but it’s so much harder while chasing a little one.
I haven’t had too many symptoms so far. I’ll be 4 weeks tomorrow and all I’ve had so far is just no appetite lately, just some tightness/dull cramps here and there in my abdomen and I feel short of breathe/ tired when I do certain simple things or walk up stairs etc. My heart rate goes up. Other then that I feel pretty good. no nausea or sore boobs or anything. 😁
I'm 6wks 4 days , so far I have experienced early Nausea, this has calm down this week (crossing my fingers). I used fresh Ginger or candy with ginger to help with the upset stomach. My breast feel like I'm carrying two cantaloupes on my breast. They are very sore. I'm super tired and in the morning when I get up for work, I feel like I didn't sleep (8 hours) but I'm waking up at least two times to go the restroom. OH YEAH that frequent urination is crazy. Once I drink, two minutes later... Offf I go...

@runwmusic@ladyscientist823. I have also had very little symptoms. Now in week seven and sort of anxiously waiting for some nausea or drop in my appetite. I am having the opposite problem, I want to eat everything !!
I’m so ready for the second trimester! Constant nausea and fatigue (since week 3, I’m 7 weeks tomorrow) have been rough while chasing two toddlers all day. Thankfully through the nausea I have an appetite so I’m trying to make healthy choices. Walking has really helped me feel less anxious and curves the nausea for a little bit. I’m definitely weepy as well; songs, commercials, shows.. anything really! Oh and frequent urination, I’ve been peeing like 3+ times a night 😫
The nausea is getting really bad. It’s basically constant. Struggling to drink fluids and the only food I’m able to eat is carbs. I’m only 6 weeks today and know I’ve still got a long way to go before I get some relief. With my daughter it was until I was like 12 or 13 weeks but didn’t start quite so early.
TMI- I have ZERO and I mean ZERO sex drive. H tried last night and I just couldn’t do it. Come back in 6 weeks sir and try again- all this mama wants to do is SLEEP.
Still feeling pretty decent other than being exhausted and not able to drink coffee anymore hoping my lack of nausea is a good thing but all I do is worry. 3 more weeks until next apt.
@hayhay2501 I told him to get it all in while we were trying 😂 we knew I’d have zero motivation.
Yall. The only that smells delicious right now? This strawberry bubble solution I’m blowing bubbles from for my daughter. It’s not even edible. But props to the target dollar section!

So much bloat. I feel like my uterus has expanded a ridiculous amount.
I feel like I already need maternity pants, bending over is uncomfortable. And I'm not even at 5 weeks yet! Gassy as all heck, too. Thankfully it doesn't smell (yet).
I legit can’t stop burping. 😆 I’ve been burping all day everyday day now. I rarely burp and literally everything I eat or drink makes me burp and even when I’m not eating I still do lol. Does anyone else have this problem?
Constantly feeling gross. I generally wake up feeling ok, but as soon as I eat, I just feel awful. I can't not eat though. Blurgh. Halfway through first trimester at least.
Anyone know what medications are allowed for a sinus headache? My head has been pounding all day and I know it's my sinuses. Is Tylenol the only thing allowed?

Tylenol is most of it. I highly recommend paying the super nominal one time payment to get the Mommy Meds app for your phone. It shows all drug details per Infant Risk for both pregnancy and nursing and medications, broken down by trimester risks.

@lwhrmomma Tylenol, which to me is like a sugar pill. I find peppermint oil to be more effective when I am pregnant. I rub it on my temples and the nape of my neck. It's usually pretty instant relief.
Friendly word to the wise-diluting oils while pregnant in a carrier oil is a good idea.
Also, for anyone nursing and pregnant-peppermint oil drops milk supply. So keep that in mind!

and to make it worse, my students this year quote Sheen all day everyday so now all I can think is “better out than in” every time. Poor baby-it’s gonna end up with Shrek as the nickname if I’m not careful

@alli392 yess lol welcome to the burp club 😆 haha baby Shrek lol. I love when he says that “ better out then in i always say” pretty much how I feel lol.
I'm only 4w6d, but I'm feeling rough already! I'm exhausted no matter what I do, my boobs hurt like crazy, I'm staying dizzy and nothing sounds good to eat. Also, the smallest things make me cry, lol. I literally can't watch cartoons or even listen to the radio 😭 This pregnancy is very different than when I was pregnant with my daughter. I dog remember feeling this rough so early on! Lol.
I'm still not that sick and I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. My logical side realizes I should probably be happy and each pregnancy is different, but it's still stressing me out.
The more serious exhaustion is hitting at 6.5 weeks. Just slept for 10 hours and still tired! In my first pregnancy I had terrible headaches starting about now, hoping that doesn’t happen again!
Ladies, let me tell you. It may be a placebo effect but I bought sea bands yesterday when I was looking for ginger chews for this nausea and they have changed my life! They’re Kindof uncomfortable bc they are wrist bands that hit the acupuncture point on your wrists for nausea but they have helped tremendously! No more dry heaving for the time being!
I'm reading all of your symptoms and am so nervous mine will get even worse! I'm only at 5+1 and am peeing every 45 minutes, ready to sleep the moment I stop moving, and nauseated (but at least not vomiting) constantly. Just hoping it doesn't get worse as the pregnancy progresses!
@lwhrmomma sinus/nasal things while pregnant and breastfeeding are no fun since there isn’t really anything good you can take. I’d focus on trying to relieve some of the sinus pressure that may be driving the headache by using nasal sinus rinses and laying down with hot and cold packs over your sinuses.
@kerco925 As much as I don’t love symptoms, no symptoms sucks, too. It’s so disconcerting but basically everyone is just all “You just be thankful!!!” Even when you logically know that symptoms are not indicative of the health of a pregnancy, it’s still hard.
