Symptoms

I’m only 4 weeks and I’ve been having bad symptoms for a week. I can’t imagine months of this! I usually go braless but my nipples are so sore and hurt rubbing against any clothes. My nausea makes it hard to be in the car, hard to smell food cooking, and definitely hard to eat myself. I’m a FTM so I don’t know any tricks or tips to help with these two symptoms. Anyone else having trouble already or have a guaranteed remedy? I’m willing to try almost anything - though it doesn’t help that I hate the taste of ginger. 🙃

    Hi! I’m a second time mom! Nighttime nursing bras save me when my nipples are so tender - they sells them on Amazon, at target, Walmart etc. Try to eat a carb before you even get out of bed in the morning like some crackers. Peppermints can also help with the nausea. The first trimester is not for the faint of heart 🤍 best of luck!

    I hate bras, but I’ll take your advice if it’ll save me from this pain.

    I hate wearing bras too. But at 5w 3d, it saved me from waking up every 2 hours due to pain. I got my sleep nursing bras at target and finally got a good night sleep.

    Anyone else having smell aversions? I'm starting to hate the smell of coffee. 😭

    Popcorn! I can’t handle it. Especially burnt. I had to run outside last week and sit on the porch until the smell dissipated last week. 😣

    I used to love garlic but now every time my husband cooks with it, I have to sit in the other room or I’ll puke 😭

    Symptoms rant: Ok, so I already get overstimulated and get the occasional panic attack… but my nerves have been on FIRE the last few days. The only physical touch I can stand is the occasional snuggle with my golden doodle or my husband kissing me goodbye when he leaves in the morning. Hugs, hanging on me, hearing my name incessantly, even extensive eye contact just set me on edge and make me feel like I’m gonna snap or burst into flames. I know that sounds dramatic but it feels dramatic! I used to be such a good step mom and wife, and now I just want to be alone in silence in my room. My boobs ache, my lower back is constantly sore, I’ve got a level 3 of nausea all day, random smells make me green, my fingers are swelling, I’m constipated and so bloated, my mood is all over the place and every time I cry I get a headache… I used to pride myself on how level-headed and logical I was but that girl is nowhere to be found. I feel like I’m actually going crazy. My husband is being a sweet, sweet angel and the most understanding about everything, but I feel like I’m letting the kids down because they said they don’t think I love them anymore (they’re 13 and 16 so yes I know it’s the age of drama). ANYWAY, that’s where I’m at tonight. Am I completely alone here? Someone tell me the hormones even out and I feel more normal soon?!

    Oh you poor thing!  I too had several days where I didn't really want to be touched.  The naseau is just so uncomfortable and puts you on edge.  It's so weird to have all these symptoms.  I feel... so different and I know it will pass.  Just keep being kind to yourself and it's okay to want time alone.  I for sure do!

    Maybe this is TMI. But I have had diarrhea for a few weeks now. I always heard about pregnancy causing constipation  not diarrhea. Anyone else have this?

    I’ve been mostly constipated, but I had a diarrhea episode yesterday. I attributed it to just eating a whole bowl of sauerkraut 😳🫣 but if that’s going on, you should probably talk to your doctor because you want to make sure you’re staying adequately hydrated!

    BlueberryLemondade-- I have been trying to gargle with salt water after brushing my teeth. The key word there is "trying" because both toothbrushing and gargling are making me gag. 🙃
