Exhaustion! My eyes are closing by mid afternoon / early evening. I would nap when my 18 month old naps but that's when I work out.
Questions/concerns?
Anyone else not really feeling pregnant yet? My breasts aren't really sore, the nausea hasn't really kicked in, and I have to actively remind myself that I'm pregnant most days. Other than the positive tests and lack of a period I still wouldn't know I was pregnant. It's just making me nervous since I was sooooo sick with both of my girls..
Any new symptoms this week? In addition to the nausea and vomiting I’m really thirsty and having temp regulation issues- I’m freezing all the time. We keep our house at 68 and I’m sleeping in heavy sweats and wool socks under the blankets. I should add that I live in the Deep South and the high is 70 today.
Questions/concerns? I have some serious digestive issues that predate this pregnancy and I’m worried I’m not processing sugar correctly. I’ve had my A1C test many times and it always came back normal but the thirst and cold limbs has me concerned. I plan to discuss with my doc at my appt this week. I already sent my GI doc a message as well.
Any new symptoms this week? Just increases in all of the old symptoms- more nausea, more post nasal drip, more gas, more fatigue.
Questions/concerns? For ladies who had pregnancy rhinitis in past pregnancies, how do I know if I'm getting sick?! In the age of covid, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or potentially exposed to illness, but I *think* my sniffles are all just pregnancy related.
@Panaceia I’m right between your dates at 5+3 and I’m also not feeling very pregnant. I have bad heartburn in the evenings and major fatigue, but that’s the most of it right now—and frankly the heartburn is most likely from my nightly holiday hot chocolates . I’m sure that in a few weeks (probably days, even) we will both be laughing at our past selves while struggling to eat anything other than saltines, but for now it’s making me anxious.
Cramping/achy uterus feeling is new. Other than that just the same nausea, exhaustion, bloating.
Questions/concerns?
No questions/concerns just venting. My DD has therapy everyday and normally they have it at school
But since we are off for the break she has it at our house. I’m so over trying to hide symptoms/having to wear jeans all day while the therapist is here.
@obsessedwithoranges oh no!! Not the nausea!! Hope you can get back on that medication quickly. DS and I did lots of couch cuddling today, hopefully your kiddo is willing to do the same!
Thank you @obsessedwithoranges and @pickle-chips . This makes me feel so much better! It sounds ridiculous that I'm saying this, and I do hope that I am cursing myself for it a week from now, but I can't wait for the unbearable nausea...
@obsessedwithoranges in wondering the same thing. Last time I was so sick, most days I couldn't function. I didn't even work it was so bad and it was for the full pregnancy. I got sick about two hours before I delivered him. Now I have a toddler that worries over everything, I can picture his worried expression at me vomiting....
Any new symptoms this week? Nothing new. Still nauseous, but it's intensifying. Spent a good chunk of time this morning dry heaving. Oh, I started getting some crazy pregnancy dreams a few days ago. That's new. And 100% zero appetite all the time.
Any new symptoms this week?: Not so far... my only concrete symptoms continue to be sore boobs and intermittent cramping. I've had a bit of insomnia and sleepiness during the day but I tend to wonder if that's more a factor of all the anxiety I've had around this pregnancy rather than anything physiological.
Questions/concerns?: Count me among the ladies here who are eagerly awaiting nausea and feeling worse in general. With every slight twinge of queasiness I find myself hoping that morning sickness is starting in earnest, it's truly absurd!
Based on LMP 8+5 but had my first u/s on Dec 21 and was measuring early (9 days) and no heartbeat.
Any new symptoms this week?
My symptoms have all left except for sore boobs and some weird dreams.
Nausea has left, my appetite has returned,I don’t have a weird taste in my mouth anymore.
Questions/concerns?
Definitely concerned that baby has stopped developing. My Doc had me get my betas checked a few days after my u/s and measured at 160k so he was happy to see that which suggests I’m still pregnant. I haven’t had any bleeding or cramping (other than gas) but now with the loss of symptoms I’m VERY concerned.
My next u/s is Dec 30th so I am hoping for growth and to see a heartbeat 🤞🏼.
Anyone have experience with measuring early in previous pregnancies where everything turned out ok? Also not really sure how accurate u/s measuring is when it’s so early. (At time of u/s I was 7+5 LMP and measured 6+3). The margin of error on the u/s said it could be between 5-7 days...
Nothing new this week. Still sore boobs. Nausea. Fatigue.
Questions/concerns?
My nausea has lessened this week, which makes me nervous. My grandpa passed away last night, after a week of decline. He lives with my mom and had been on hospice care, so I have been sitting with him every day (on and off) since Christmas Eve. I’m hoping the tapering of my symptoms was because I was SO focused on him that I couldn’t focus on myself.
Any new symptoms this week? Nausea started up right before we left to visit my parents for Christmas. No throwing up though. Thankfully ginger has been helping a lot. I’ve just been taking 1 capsule per day. It hasn’t been lasting all the way through the evening though so today I’m trying these ginger drops that are a lower amount of ginger so I can take them more evenly throughout the day and we’ll see how that works.
Questions/concerns? Not really, just hoping this phase of morning sickness (which is really all day nausea passes soon!)
@joellelamb happened to me twice! I was breastfeeding and ovulated 10 and 12 days late. They are now 3 years and almost 2 years. I hope you have a good scan!
I'm at 8 weeks today. I think my nausea and breast soreness have lessened in the past 4-5 days and I had some light spotting a couple days ago so I'm a little concerned. I was able to schedule an appointment for later this week so hopefully I'll have some clarity about what is going on soon.
Had my first ultrasound yesterday and the doctor called to say everything looked good! Fingers crossed for you too, @grogu. I was worried that my symptoms were lessening but I think I probably just felt good because I slept about 10 hours a night this weekend. Trying not to over-analyze every feeling in my body right now...
@halfconvert I have a small sub-chorionic hematoma by the gestational sac and I am measuring a few days behind but there is such a big margin of error when they try to take the pregnancy this early. I am glad your ultrasound went well!
ok I can't believe I am saying this but can I really be having round ligament pain already?! I mean I had 2 kids recently, I know this feeling, but this (5.5 weeks) is way too early. Its pretty specific though.....when I stand too fast its a stretch in mostly the right side of my pelvis. Anyone having this???
@Eveinshock definitely happens earlier in subsequent pregnancies. This is my fourth and I've been feeling it for a couple weeks. I'm 6+4 today. I've been trying to focus on getting up slowly because that's when i feel it the most.
Does anyone else just feel sad a lot? I feel like all I want to do is watch sad movies and cry. I’m not even sad about anything I just like a general heavy blanket of sadness. I’m assuming this is hormones but it sucks.
@dancingnarwhal I'm sorry you're feeling that way and hope it gets better soon. I also imagine it's the hormones and hopefully it will even out soon!
AFM I'm getting random waves of nausea and fatigue (like can't keep my eyes open during dinner) but it's thankfully not persistent. Thirsty all the time. But that's about it.

Any new symptoms this week? I'm so jealous of all you non nauseated people! I've had it for about 2 weeks and hoping it will settle soon.

Any new symptoms this week? Is insomnia a symptom? Because I have it, bad. Mostly just gas and occasional sore boobs.
Questions/concerns? No
@Panaceia: same. I have to remind myself I am pregnant so I take my prenatals and make healthy choices. I feel like I am jinxing myself now.
@halfconvert good luck today! I've been spotting too. Fingers crossed for both of us!
@bmo88 insomnia is real! I wake up in the middle of the night and am up for hours right now.
I am glad your ultrasound went well!
