What symptoms do you have this week?
so much nausea. Blurgh. Boobs are sore, feeling extremely bloated.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea?
toast, chips, suckers, fruit. In the past I’ve gone straight for college staples (ramen noodles, cheese pizza, Mac and cheese) but I’m trying hard not to do that this time. So far anyway, it’s only week 6. 😂
How far along are you? 5 and a half-ish weeks
What symptoms do you have this week? My boobs are still huge and sore, and I’m finally super nauseous. Last week I was all “oh no, why am I not nauseous?!” And apparently I just needed to wait a few days. 😬 I sent my OB a message about prescriptions I’ve used in the past/using Unisom and B6. I hope to hear back soon. I don’t handle this part very well and it’s getting in the way of parenting. As much as I hate it, I’m weirdly comforted by it because it makes me feel like things are “right.”
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? I found these stomach settle drops at Target (not liquid, like cough drops). They’re ginger, lemon, and mint. They help but I don’t love the taste. I usually go for crackers or pretzels. We have pepperoni because DD2 loves it so much and I’ve been eating that too!
What symptoms do you have this week? Still all the worst of everything. OB gave me meds for my nausea last week, but it makes me SO tired that I literally cannot take it during the day. I took it on Friday and fell asleep sitting up while grading assignments..
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? I don't really have a go-to, I've just learned I basically need to constantly eat to stave of nausea (or at least keep it tame). Fruits are just about the only things that haven't made me dry heave at the thought or smell of.
What symptoms do you have this week? Nausea, insomnia, fatigue. I haven't been participating much because I'm in survival mode over here.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? rice crackers, cinnamon toast crunch cereal, toast. There have been several days in the last week when I didn't eat anything but cinnamon toast crunch until 3pm. I have been able to eat other foods after that so far. I've been able to eat other things after then so far.
What symptoms do you have this week? Def nauseous (but not vomiting thankfully!), extreme fatigue, aversion to meat and other various foods/loss of appetite, this is a weird one - but I honestly feel like my armpits smell way worse than normal lol has anyone else experienced that????? Also, I can't believe how large my boobs have gotten so early. I've always had large breasts, but they are HUGE right now. Not painful though so I'll take it haha.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? Been eating hard sourdough pretzels when I need a little tiny something in my stomach, I ate vegetable barley soup a few times this week - it helped me feel like I was getting some veggies and something in my stomach without something too heavy. Plenty of cold fruit - mango, cantaloupe, pineapple, etc. I eat an apple just about every day. A few pistachios or almonds here and there. Brown sugar oatmeal has been good in the morning. And my guiltiest pleasure this week: I think I ate an egg mcmuffin 3 times!! I can't stomach the egg, so I take that off lol but I eat the english muffin with cheese and canadian bacon.
What symptoms do you have this week? Nausea (I think? someone in another thread described it as being hungover all the time and that's exactly how I feel - run down, headache, stomach on the fritz, exhausted - it's not the most fun!), Fatigue, sore boobs.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? This week, it's corn muffins. I'm not sure why but they're the only thing that sound remotely appetizing and have been a saving grace. My husband made me a batch and I've demolished them.
What symptoms do you have this week? Nausea is ramping up, which makes me hopeful! I dry heaved while brushing my teeth then proudly announced this to my husband. Yesterday I had to throw out all the garlic in the house because the pantry smell was making me want to vomit.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea?
ginger and peppermint tea, cucumber water, animal crackers, pretzel rods dipped in mustard, veggie soup, and preggie drops have been helpful.

Preggie Pop Drops
I've also been craving ramen. I actually made it from scratch with fancy organic ramen noodles the other night. It was good, but not good enough to justify the time and effort.
@theblondebump @bblair24 I definitely started sweating more/smelling worse when I was pregnant the first time. It actually hasn't gone back to normal for me. I used to be able to go without deodorant, but I can't anymore.
7 weeks, 3 days.

Oh that looks good - NOO IT DOESN’T. Lol.

Fruit has really been helping - plums, peaches, oranges. CARBS. Plain toast with butter, or some brown sugar & cinnamon.

What symptoms do you have this week? Nausea, constipation, bloating, tummy sensitivity
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? I have these almond flour crackers (Costco) that help a lot even though I never actually want to eat them since they are flavorless. Anyone else been craving beans or any other saucy thing like curry?
What symptoms do you have this week? Tired and nauseous ever now and then. Definitely living in a permanent phase of being hungover. My appetite sucks but I am forcing myself to eat now because I know feeling worse is coming. I’ve also been getting headaches.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? Usually cereal or toast or (this one is weird), a sausage biscuit with cheese from McDonalds!
What symptoms do you have this week? Omg the nausea today. I threw up this morning for the first time ever in any of my pregnancies. I called the doc’s office right when they opened and I now have myself a bottle of zophran BUT it’s only moderately helping. Bleh! Major headache all day. Whoever said the hangover feeling...YES. Fuzzy brain, slow, tired. Ugh.
GYKY: buttered sourdough toast
@theblondebump So glad your US went well!!!!

What symptoms do you have this week?
Tired, sore breasts, congestion, nausea, weird cravings (yesterday it was a steak and cheese sub)
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea?
Preggie drops have been helpful. Those little cheese sandwich crackers have been one of the only things I've consistently wanted to eat so far this pregnancy. And after reading all the fruit suggestions, I'm going to go see if we have any applesauce!
What symptoms do you have this week? Another one over here for feeling hungover...queasiness, headaches, fuzzy head, tired. My boobs are also super sore still. It's weird, I tend to have some energy in the morning, but by 11-12 I am absolutely wiped out!
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? crackers, pretzels, toast

Also, since DH and I own a wedding-industry business, September is crazy busy, even with COVID. Before getting pregnant, I was pretty much a workaholic that was always responding to emails at all hours, etc. Now, I'm trying really hard to listen to my body and rest because I am SO exhausted. DH has honestly been so so amazing at taking care of me (doing 90% off the housework/grocery shopping/cooking) and even regularly tells me how much he appreciates that I'm growing our baby, but in the last day or two he was really not listening to me about work. I told him that I was setting boundaries during pregnancy to not work, even responding to emails and such, after normal business hours but he kept trying to get me to do scheduling and emails and stuff at like 10 pm last night. I finally broke down crying and told him that I need him to listen to me more about being tired. That I'm not being dramatic, it's literally like when you have the flu and your body just CAN'T move off the couch. That's how I feel almost 24/7. He apologized and totally understood, but I guess I can't blame him for saying "You definitely are pregnant, your crying is up 1000%!" LOL
What symptoms do you have this week? RLP, sore boobs, pretty much just feeling like trash most of the time. By 3pm, i can barely keep my eyes open.
GYKY: What is your go-to food for nausea? This past week it was Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls... haha. I have also been eating more ice cream than normal this over the last week!
I totally forgot about the sweating and smelly BO with my first pregnancy! So far with this one, i haven't noticed it... maybe I won't be plagued with smelliness this time.
