Well this week I cried because the cafeteria at work made the best chicken and dumplings and I realized I can’t have them again any time soon… I also cried because my husband put a bag from lowes that smelled bad in my car for a short 15 minute drive. My emotions are going haywire.

@peachyalex3 why can't you have the chicken and dumplings? Also crying about a stinky car is totally warranted 🤣 I'd be pretty upset too lol

Hit 7 weeks yesterday and that's the first day I've felt nauseous (which trends with my last pregnancy as well). Still not feeling great today and I know I'll feel better if I eat but the thought of food makes me feel 🤢

I’m struggling majorly. Upped the B6 but it’ll probably take a while to work, and I’m so tired I’m almost falling asleep at my desk. My commute is long and horrible (public transit and a lot of walking), I don’t know if I’ll make it. I wasn’t planning on telling work until second tri, but I might need to start working from home soon if this is going to continue or get worse, which it will.

Hello! Just joining this thread…I’m 6 weeks and so far tired/low energy some days. Bracing myself for the morning sickness every day I wake up 😭😭when did everyone’s start?

etnyah · August 2022

@maloriedavalos for me, slight nausea around the end of week 5 and it’s been slowly getting worse. Started puking almost a week ago, I’m 7w5d today.

Last pregnancy, I felt fine until nausea kicked in literally overnight around week 8, I puked multiple times a day for weeks. It hasn’t been quite as bad this time yet, but I’m bracing myself since it started sooner.

Right there with you all on the nausea. I'm 7 weeks and it's really starting to hit me. I almost threw up while trying to cook dinner today. And literally no food appeals, I basically force myself to eat even though I feel like it really doesn't help the nausea. The only thing appealing right now is green olives and Chai tea.

Also super anxious, my first appointment is (finally) this week. I go on Wednesday and even though I have pregnancy symptoms, I'm so terrified I'm going to get bad news when I go. I just keep praying that God will calm my anxiety and bless us with a healthy pregnancy but the wait is killing me. It's been 4 loooooong weeks. (Had my first positive test 6 days before missed period)My doctor never ordered any betas or anything so this will be the first bit of actual confirmation aside from the 2000 HPTs I took lol. I just wish I could fast forward already

etnyah · August 2022

@maggied26 that wait is so brutal! My OB office is the same, no betas, no nothing, until week 10. Which is why I found a random place for an ultrasound last week at 7w2d. Having zero clue what’s going on besides a positive pregnancy test eons ago and symptoms is nerve wracking. Hopefully the next couple days will go by fast and you’ll get good news!

Has anyone else noticed their hair (on leg, armpits, chin... if you're old like me) growing faster since getting PG? I feel like a wooly mammoth every few days.

I also constantly feel my abdomen stretching, but I'm also wondering if it's just my Lovenox bruises hurting. I haven't really gained any weight. I dunno. All of this is brand spanking new.

etnyah · August 2022

I’ve been really focusing on snacking and eating small meals often and it’s definitely helped my nausea. It’s always in the background, but not nearly as bad as it’s been lately! Haven’t been close to puking yet today which is a win.

It’s a challenge for me because I never eat breakfast usually. I have to force myself to eat before heading out the door for work. Annoying, but it makes such a difference.

returning_bump_member · August 2022

@acleverusername yes! And I'm so lazy when it comes to shaving, thank goodness fall is coming and my husband does not care, lol! Ditto with the abdomen stretching, but mine is like a dull pain on one side.

@etnash16 Same! I love breakfast food, just not at breakfast time. I have to eat something every 2 hours or it's queezy city.

My boobs are HUGE and since they started at DDs, I'm hating how heavy they are. Now in maternity/nursing bras. Falling asleep is a pain, but once I find a comfy not so hot spot, I'm good.

iiirene · August 2022

So I haven’t necessarily thrown up but when the nausea gets bad I dry heave. Even if there’s food in my stomach nothing ever comes up. It was delightful to do at work today…(sarcasm)

etnyah · August 2022

Welp, it’s official. My favorite pants no longer fit. I mean, I can squeeze into them but they’re not comfortable.

I don’t think I’ve gained weight (but who knows, I don’t own a scale) and I don’t look much different, it’s just insane bloat. Nervous about getting any sort of bump before I’m ready to tell work. I started showing pretty early last time around, I’d say week 12 or 13. Although I don’t think anyone would notice because who really pays attention to their coworkers midsection, I’ll probably be paranoid!

nsk489 · August 2022

Breakouts galore. My face currently looks like a 13 year old

acleverusername · August 2022

Ultra heightened sense of smell has finally arrived and I'm reeling. I don't think I'll be helping out with the garbage duties for much longer. 🤢

iiirene · August 2022

Well my nausea seems to have disappeared which is frustrating and nice at the same time. Boobs are still in immense pain and my emotions are extreme. My sons favorite movie is Cars, which I have seen at least 100 times now, and now that I’m pregnant I cry at the end every time 😆

iiirene · August 2022

@etnyah saaame about the bloating. Holy smokes! I look like 2 months further along than I am. My brother wedding is this weekend so I had to find a dress that doesn’t totally give it away.

etnyah · August 2022

@iiirene jealous that your nausea is gone already! Although it would make me nervous too, ha. Haven’t puked in a couple days but I gag at everything and I’d like it to stop.

@acleverusername with you on the heightened smell, I’ve had it for a while and it’s the WORST combined with nausea. The absolute worst part is my public transit commute. Perfume, BO, weed and my favorite: piss. That one made me run off the train to switch cars at a random stop.

millieuhly · August 2022

Sore breasts, bloating, slight nausea, tiiiired. That's about it for me. Have a doc closely watching this pregnancy and had 3 blood draws (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) this week to check HCG numbers and they are doubling as they should! Have another draw on Friday next week. I'm at about 5w today.

maggied26 · August 2022

Woke up at 4:30 am because I had to pee and as soon as I stood up I got so nauseous. So I haven't been able to fall asleep because all I can think about is how much my stomach hurts right now.

acleverusername · August 2022

@maggied26 time to stock up on crackers/nuts/fruits by your bedside!!!

kjib · August 2022

Week 5: waves of extreme fatigue— whole body will hurt, almost flu like. Also I am freezing all the time. Anyone else?

maggied26 · August 2022

@acleverusername yes I'm thinking so!

@knottieec6b131ec89aa357 yes, I'm 7 weeks 5 days now and now I'm hot all the time but around 5 weeks I was constantly freezing

acleverusername · August 2022

I had a mid-shopping trip nausea emergency today. Had to make an emergency stop at Five Guys for some fries with malt vinegar and a soda. The McD's that was right there was CLOSED because of technical issues.

@knottieec6b131ec89aa357 I'm also cold all the time. Half the time I'm running a space heater in my office.

knottie6ffc9e17f81ada4c · August 2022

The freezing happened to me with my second. I’m almost 9 weeks along with #3 and not freezing this time. Weird.
