Cramping? Bloated? Nausea? Let’s chat about it here! How are y’all feeling?

kenfw89 · February 2023

6 weeks pregnant. Main symptom is bone crushing fatigue lol. Other that than, very minor headaches and some breast tenderness. No nausea yet, hoping I can skip that haha

kati12kangaroo · February 2023

Tomorrow is 5 weeks pregnant. Have had sore breasts for the past 2 weeks, fatigue, tough time regulating my temperature, and a hard time concentrating at work (WFH and probably just can't stop thinking about being pregnant for the first time 🙃). No nausea yet for me either thankfully. Super worried about it though, since that's my least favorite feeling ever.

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@kenw89 I had to nap today because I just could not keep my eyes open.

@kati12kangaroo hopefully working from home gets better!!

I had some constipation so I drank some prune juice and now I’m having the opposite issue 😳

izza2 · February 2023

@kenw89 - The fatigue is crazy!

So far I’m having intermittent nausea, starving constantly, and just tired as heck.

linh18 · February 2023

Fatigue is crazy for me too! Somehow I managed to have 2 naps yesterday and I still felt worn out by the end of the day.

@izza2 I can empathize! I also have nausea and have come really close to losing my (small) lunch sometimes, but thankfully have been able to keep things down. It's not possible to buy ginger ale where I live (even online), (I drank a lot of diluted ginger ale for my first pregnancy and it helped) so this time I've been sticking to ginger candies. It's working for now.

I'm ok, pretty tired and have been napping at lunch time all week and I have to go to bed early most nights. My boobs also have been sore and I've been super thirsty and having to pee often. I'm also very hungry 🙃

AmMcc12 · February 2023

Oh how I would love a lunch nap @mimser! Snooze a little for me!

I went from no cramping today to cramping within the last hour. Now I have all the anxiety and have visited the bathroom more than I would like to admit.

rs_mama · February 2023

Hi all - I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant - so far i hav terrible back pain specially in the evening and night. Feel very tired and some days, even if I am hungry, I don't feel like eating the food in front of me. I am also quite easily irritated at times - poor husband.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

Also exhausted but with two older kids I feel like that’s kinda my baseline these days 😂🙃
mild nausea so far, but I have a history of hyperemesis. Hoping to get ahead of it with medication this time.

knottie057346643eaaccde · February 2023

Fatigue!! How does one handle this? (First-timer here). Also sore boobs, hunger every 2 hours, leg cramps at night, and acne, lol.

mimser · February 2023

@knottie0573466433eaaccde I nap every day 😅

sawasap · February 2023

All I want is the world is Chinese food from the expensive place across the street.

Except when I desperately wanted a fast food burger for lunch today.

But now back to Chinese food and I have to wait until tomorrow night when we order in.

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@sawasap Chinese food sounds delicious!!

Unquenchable thirst has kicked in.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

Regarding fatigue…
this is just your life now.

Signed - mom of a 6 and 2 year old and I haven’t really noticed MORE fatigue. I’ve been tired for seven years. I’ve used up all tomorrow’s tired.

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

I’ve had hyperemesis with each of my prior term pregnancies. So I am indulging in all the things food wise now. My husband went and got me cake last night to make up for the birthday cake I won’t be able to eat in July. 😂 (I’m sick until about 3 days after birth 🥴)

sawasap · February 2023

Tonight was my first time dealing with a toddler tantrum with pregnancy hormones in full swing and I did not do well. Currently sitting in my room calming down while my husband parents.

rachiemae · February 2023

Does anyone else just have wild bowels? Like I'm pretty regular normally but this has been next level. This is my second time but I don't remember/blacked out the first 🤦‍♀️

AmMcc12 · February 2023

@rachiemae yes! Also second time and remember being backed up but this time around it’s all over the place.

sawasap · February 2023

@rachiemae Not quite the same, but my gas so far is next level. Same as my first though.

mimser · February 2023

I go back and forth from being so hungry I want to throw up to I ate too much I want to throw up after a regular size meal/snack.

I've also found my SO has had bad BO all week which is uncommon, he never smells haha

izza2 · February 2023

@mimser - the other morning I got a whiff of MHs morning breath and had to do a double take because I thought it couldn’t really be THAT bad!

mimser · February 2023

I just threw up. My SO was having a bit of a stomach flu (but the other way if you know what I mean) so I don't know what's happening. I don't know what I'm more worried about, throwing up for the next 2 months or having gastro.

izza2 · February 2023

I just got over a stomach bug and I think it was worse than the nausea and vomiting from pregnancy itself. It’s like a whole added layer with stomach cramps. I’m keeping everything crossed you’re not getting a GI bug @mimser!

mimser · February 2023

Thanks @izza2! I was nauseous all week and we ordered brunch in with my MIL and I think it was too heavy coupled with my nausea... I napped with my son after and so far so good...

knottiebdc15c883248e8d6 · February 2023

I am really tired. And have not so fun cramps off and on. 5.4 weeks

jamislou · February 2023

My last baby is 14yo so I don’t really remember early symptoms other than the boob soreness but this time around I have major constipation but also feel like I’m constantly prairie doggin. So bizarre and annoying lol

mimser · February 2023

@jamislou that happened to me about 10 days ago haha

hc_2023 · February 2023

I am currently 7 weeks and I have had so few pregnancy symptoms since weeks 4/5 that some days I don't even believe I'm actually pregnant! Which sounds crazy to say! What a wild time of life! I have had no morning sickness, very few bouts of nausea, the biggest symptoms I have are sore boobs and fatigue. During weeks 4/5 I was so tired I could barely make it to 8pm! I read that I'm supposed to consider myself lucky, but I would like some other signs that my body is changing and my little peanut is still there 💛.

devosteeze · February 2023

I'm 7 weeks with my first baby and my morning sickness is AWFUL. I am nauseous all day every day and nothing helps, no food is safe. Not sure how I am going to get through this. Second trimester feels really far away

izza2 · February 2023

@devosteeze - Have you talked to your OB about meds? Usually they start you with B12 + Doxylamine Succinate and then go for prescriptions if that doesn’t work, but either can make you feel semi normal again!

charmedlifex3 · February 2023

@devosteeze talk to your OB! I get something called HG. I get vomiting and extreme nausea from about six weeks to 72 hours after birth. There are a whole host of very safe medications they can try to help.

I take zofran, phenergan, unison and b6 and Tigan, and in past pregnancies have done daily fluid infusions.

mimser · February 2023

Food that worked today:
Green apples
Raw veggies with hummus
Toasted tomatoe sandwich

devosteeze · February 2023

I haven't spoken to my OB yet but have been thinking about asking about medication options. Thank you for sharing your advice!

rachiemae · February 2023

I'm exactly the same! This is my second pregnancy and aside from being crazy bloated and an uptick in heart burn and some mild breast tenderness I have no symptoms. With my first I had wicked nausea. I can't even tell if I'm overly fatigued because I have a toddler and that's just a normal state of being for me. I forget I'm pregnant all the time which makes me nervous!

AmMcc12 · February 2023

The nausea and lightheadedness has begun…

ashleyt2293 · February 2023

So glad you mentioned temperature regulation!! I am either freezing or flushed and sweating! My whole body feels uncomfortable, especially when sleeping because of it.

clairep123 · February 2023

I’m right around 6 weeks and the nausea has started. No vomiting so far, and it’s manageable if I keep my stomach from being empty + started taking Zofran.

clairep123 · February 2023

Also, I’ve been freezing all the time!! haha

izza2 · February 2023

Well my all day MS has progressed to vomiting in the morning, feeing better for 5 minutes, then being nauseous all day like normal. I was hoping to avoid the puking this time around!

horselover7 · February 2023

I’m 7 weeks and the nausea is so bad, along with constantly being tired. I can’t seem to sleep enough even with one or two naps a day. How are you all doing at work? I had to take off today. It’s hard, I work from home and just leave my office to go sleep in bed.
