it's literally like my body said oh yea, you're worried about not really having symptoms, ok here ya go! last night was prob my worst night of sleep since my daughter was a newborn, i was just awake every hour basically. and i've hit that i'm hungry, but feel nauseous, wtf why aren't the carbs working phase. my husband came upstairs last night to me eating dry cheerios out of cup.
@starkette I feel this in my soul. I just sent my partner out for pizza and I am feeling like I won’t it by the time he gets back. First trimester is roughhh
I’m a FTM at 6w+5 and I am constantly nauseous or sick from the moment my eyes open until I fall asleep again, so I’ve been napping like 800 times a day. Going back to teaching littles next week is going to be rough!! I’ve been living off of Cinnamon Raisin Bread and Gatorade. A friend told me to try popsicles, so that’s next up on the list!
@calliecraigen you should pick up some preggie pop drops! They helped me quite a bit when my nausea was at its worst. Also try sea bands they are wrist bands that use acupuncture to relive nausea. I look forward to me and my daughters nap everyday lol
@starkette I make dinner every night, and it always sounds good when I’m cooking, and then it is completely disgusting to me after I have taken 1 bite. Every. Darn. Night. I’ve mostly been spared the nausea so far, but the food weirdness is real.
@maggiemadeit this was me last time - we learned I can't cook a lot during this phase and food needs to be really "modular" so we can swap things in an out as my whims change (rather than like a big crock pot thing that we'd rely on for several meals). Thankfully MH is cool with cooking!
New symptom for me today: short little painful jolts right in my pubic bone area. I shouldn’t actually say painful, because they don’t actually really hurt that much. I mean, they definitely don’t feel good but I guess it’s more just annoying. Google says it’s probably Symphysis pubis dysfunction that usually doesn’t hit until later but can technically show up anytime so that’s fun. Not.
@maggiemadeit I'm at the point where everything sounds blah so I've decided to just eat whatever I have available to me because nothing will make my stomach happy right now. Counting down to second trimester: four more weeks.
@calliecraigen ask your OB about vitamin B6 and unisom! For me it makes a huge difference. Still a little nauseous, but I don't feel like I'm on the verge of puking. Also, eating little meals every few hours is key. Hoping you get some relief soon!
Any tips to get rid of this nasty metallic taste in my mouth that decided to pop up today? I just drank some chocolate milk that was delicious and helped for a few minutes but it’s back already.
I am at 5 weeks 2 days and due with baby 1 August 31st. Currently I’ve been more tired, having frequent urination, shortness of breath, slightly sore/full breasts, mild occasional cramping, and occasional nausea.
I’m trying to see friends and family before the nausea hits and Christmas vacation has helped with that. Then I’ll plan to slow my schedule in every way and just say I’m “busy” and no one will know I’m actually home sleeping and likely being nauseous, etc..
This may help you- (All from Amazon) I got “Tummy Drops” for my nausea, and a nausea inhaler (the size of a chapstick,) and I’m getting a beaded nausea bracelet. I'm also assembling a pouch for anti nausea that I can have beside my bed, in my purse, or carry with me to the bathroom at family’s place. In the pouch, I’m going to have some snack bags with different kinds of crackers/bars/pistachios, my inhaler, and my tummy drops. Everyone will assume it’s just personal stuff. (Which it is, but not pads and tampons.😅)
I napped yesterday. I can't think of the last time this happened to me. I didn't mean to, but my eyes just closed while my kids were napping. I'm also off red meat and coffee. Not complaining about any of it. After a few weeks of knowing I was pregnant but not really feeling pregnant, I'm feeling super pregnant now all of a sudden
Currently sitting here dry heaving because mh and ds’s are eating crab and I can’t deal with the smell. No champagne, no crab, no steak (it’s been giving me a stomachache)- what a way to ring in the new year!
@itsme215 I have the same thing, anything mint helps. Gum, hard candy, etc. It comes back eventually after you're done but it at least will give you a decent break.
@paytonpedro we’re having crab for dinner tonight, it hasn’t been brought out yet, but I hope it doesn’t turn me off! I’ve been so excited for it.

@bearmomma1 how did it go? I made mh take the half full garbage bag out immediately and clean up the dishes haha. I usually like crab but starting yesterday morning just the thought of it was making me gag.
So I'm resource nurse at work right now. I go to changes in conditions, arrests, traumas, and just help out. Welp just had to leave a trauma because I almost threw up everywhere. The trauma wasn't that bad but I guess coupled with hunger and pregnancy it's not a great match.
@leahrnmom oh no!! I would probably be in the same boat, and blood doesn’t usually bother me at all. I work in the veterinary field and I remember some smells in my first pregnancy that had me running for the bathroom!
@paytonpedro went fine! Haha it’s crazy how I’m not having any food aversions this time. Making me nervous too

@wigglyicecream ok I’m so glad I’m not alone haha. Mine just started within the last week and it’s been super random as well. TMI but I thought maybe my nips were just hard and that’s what I was feeling but it just happened and they weren’t hard at all. Lol.
Re: November/December Symptom Thread
@wisewitch222 I feel the same.
I just made challah and the smell is making me feel nauseous?? Fresh challah is one of the best smells!
