I’m relishing every minute that I don’t have breast tenderness. That was my worst symptom in early pregnancy with my son and I’m grateful to not have it yet. I have been symptom free for the most part but I am constantly hungry. Not sure if that’s pregnancy or a bit of boredom since I’m off work for the week and my son is at daycare
@iiirene oh gosh, jealous. My boobs are killing me. And my son somehow keeps finding them to punch or kick accidentally at night (we bedshare).
I’m worried about already feeling queasy. I mean, I’m happy about all the symptoms I have because they are reassuring! But with my son the nausea did not start this early. I felt fine until halfway through week 8 and then I puked multiple times a day until halfway through second tri. Hoping to not have a repeat of that, I’m worried the early nausea means it’ll be even worse this time.

I had the worst night's sleep. I never have problems falling asleep; mostly it's just waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep. But last night was another level. I think there's probably a nap in my future.
My first 2 symptoms I noticed before I even took a test was fatigue and having to go pee every 10 minutes lol. Then in the last 2 days my boots have gotten so crazy sore, I don't remember them being this way this early with my first. And of course my daughter loves to tackle hug me so that hasn't been pleasant haha. And then yesterday the nausea finally kicked in, it definitely comes in waves right now. With my daughter, I had nausea before I knew I was pregnant and by 6 weeks it was so bad I couldn't keep down food or even water. I eventually went on a prescription to help with it and had it bad until almost 20 weeks. I'm hoping it won't be as bad this time, so far it is tolerable
Is anyone else experiencing cramping that’s one sided? I’ll have cramps on the right side then hours later it switches to the left side? Hoping that it’s not ectopic since the cramping is on both sides; just at different times. This is my first pregnancy, not sure if that’s something other people experience.
That doesn’t sound like ectopic to me, it would just stay on one side. But, if you’re worried you should definitely call your doctor!

First pregnancy here. Only 4 weeks today and have lower back pain. Had nausea the last few days but that subsided today and is making me a little nervous - anyone else experience similar? First ultrasound on the 22nd and can’t come soon enough.
First pregnancy for me too! 5 weeks in. Not many symptoms yet. Definitely feel hungrier, bloated, and a little extra fatigue in the afternoon, but none of those symptoms are very pronounced.
First time for me as well!! I’ve been experiencing nausea and upset stomach since before my missed period. Today, miraculously I’m not nauseous but I guess I’ve never felt bloating like this before. Honestly, Im so excited that I’m not even sure that this isn’t all in my mind but I feel so much bloating and pressure in my lower stomach. And my breasts are sore around the sides… at 4 weeks 5 days in, I’m worried about symptoms starting off so strong but also desperate for them to continue because I’m enjoying ‘feeling’ pregnant.
@knottieceed854b3a96d67b I was feeling back pain around 4 weeks and that only lasted a couple days. I'm 6 weeks now and my symptoms are pretty mild but they are sore breasts, fatigue, restlessness at night, and really oily skin which isn't typical for me!
@mcmanda4321 @peachyalex3 thank you both for sharing - brings some comfort knowing others have similar experience as I over analyze every little thing 😆 (sorry if my user name hasn’t changed yet I tried last night and might not have updated yet)
