February Symptoms

I figure at least while we're still small, a monthly symptoms thread is sufficient. I can change the title to weekly if people prefer though.
Come here to whine about your symptoms or lack of symptoms.

Re: February Symptoms
My symptoms in my previous pregnancies were super mild, which was nice but a little stressful. So far with this one I can't eat junk/sweets without feeling really gross after. My super sniffer is already taking over. I got nauseous this morning and couldn't finish my cup of coffee. Baby, please don't take my coffee away from me. I either feel nauseaous or bloated at all times. Afternoon fatigue is rough. Still though, I know I have it easy and the mild symptoms are reassuring. But also, whine whine whine, I don't feel good, this wasn't supposed to start for another week or two.
Painful swollen breasts, which seem to worsen towards the evening. The fatigue is the hardest to deal with, I get exhausted cooking and the eating tires me out. I feel like I'm on a cook, eat, nap cycle.
I am extremely nauseous, big sore boobs, sweats are only comfy on my stomach, I get hungry instantly out of nowhere but then nothing sounds good and I feel sick while eating. My mouth is dry and I feel thirsty all the time but it also makes me feel icky drinking. My vivid dreams make it hard to sleep. I’m remembering why pregnancy is so hard! Was exactly the same way with my two girls. I don’t know how I’m going to last till October. It never lets up for me. It’s also hard to keep it from my 17yo when I’m gagging, taking deep breaths and moving slow. Lol
I get that feeling all the time like I’m going to be nauseous, and then it doesn’t develop into anything. Almost like nausea is hovering. But then nothing. I was very sick with my first two. The first pregnancy it started about 5 weeks, and my second I didn’t realize I was pregnant until after 6 weeks and so I don’t think it started until then. I’m seriously just praying for nausea as a sign of a healthy pregnancy and I wonder sometimes if I keep manifesting this “almost nauseous” feeling.
Basically all pants are uncomfortable on my stomach. Even most of my leggings because they’re like higher compression workout leggings. So I’m sticking with the two super comfy pairs I own. I have been SUPER BLOATED for more than a week now. Where I feel like my stomach is sticking out all the time and I’m just like this giant cow of a human.
I am so tired. I’ve been going to sleep as soon as I put my kids are in bed at 7:45. I’m only drinking one cup of coffee each day and that’s usually at about 5:15am so I wonder if I’m actually exhausted or my body is just missing it’s afternoon coffee? I usually had one around 2 😂 Maybe I’ll start drinking decaf coffee in the afternoon to hope for a placebo effect HA!
I joined the sore boob club, and I'm just really hoping they don't get any bigger at this point.
Saliva, I have tons of it. You would think I was constantly smelling freshly baked cookies. Fatigue came in strong today, struggled to keep my eyes open this afternoon.
@Kabazaba I read today that saliva is supposed to help with heartburn. Heartburn is the worst. I had it pretty bad in my third trimester with my first. All I did was pop tums. Have you tried changing part of your diet? or eating smaller meals?
Is altered taste a thing at this point? No flavors so far make me sick, but I've eaten one or two things lately that suddenly tasted...weird. Not bad, just not like they normally taste.
Was dead on my feet yesterday but actually got some good sleep last night, so hoping to feel better today. Nervously awaiting HCG results from my doctor visit on Friday.
so much water I can literally drink a pool it feels like and the hunger is strong. No nausea which is great but I definitely haven’t been craving coffee which makes me feel so tired and super tender boobs over here 😭
How far along are you? 3+4 🙈
What symptoms are you experiencing? Cramping and THIRST. So ungodly thirsty. I remember the cramping from DD but it still makes me nervous since I am so early.

The fatigue has hit me like whoa. I went to bed at 730 p.m. last night and still had to drag my tired butt out of bed at 6:30 am. I just want to sit on the couch like a potato and watch Netflix all day. 🥱🥱🥱
TW- also I will say the time I had a natural miscarriage once I was actually losing the baby it was not just cramping. It was incredibly painful and some actual contractions. So I remind myself of that too when the cramps are no more than a period it’s likely normal! Of course if you have any severe one sided cramping or concerns in general talk to your doctor ASAP. But for the record I do typically get little pangs on whichever side I ovulated from in early pregnancy which is why ive always been thankful for my early checks to make sure! So eager to see everything is in its proper place today!
