The Great First Trimester Symptom Roundup

This is our go-to spot to share what we’re feeling during the first trimester, the good, the weird, and the “why is this happening to my body?!” moments.

Remember.. every body is different, every pregnancy is different. What’s brutal for one might be a total non-issue for another. All experiences are valid here.

Re: The Great First Trimester Symptom Roundup

  • Hello! Just found out we are expecting a few days ago. Morning sickness has already been kicking my butt. This is baby #3 for us and I have never had it start this early. Hoping it goes away soon. 🤢

  • @kalinmew this is #3 for us as well! I found out last week and the nausea kicked in almost instantly 🫠 and I had a four day migraine. It was awful. 
    Hope you feel less green asap 🙏🏼
  • I found out I was pregnant on August 11, and I’m now 4 weeks along. I’ve honestly felt symptoms since the moment I inseminated — from mild cramping to little electric shocks and nonstop burping. I’m very in tune with my body, so deep down I already knew I was pregnant; I just needed the confirmation on Monday, and boom — there it was.

    This week it’s been mild cramping that comes and goes, feeling extra thirsty, and peeing way more often than usual. I’ve started back on my CrossFit routine with pregnancy modifications, and I’m feeling great. Not sure what symptoms are next, but I’m manifesting no nausea and no fatigue.
  • I’ve been having some come and go nausea, mostly after I eat, but it’s starting to persist for longer . Fatigue is starting to creep in, my watch clocked a good almost 8 hours of sleep the last few nights but I’m sleeeeeepy. Really not great during this busy time at work. Occasional cramps that mostly feel like sore muscles- drinking water has surprisingly been actually helpful with these I think. 
  • Anyone else have weird and crazy vivid dreams while pregnant?!?!? Every pregnancy I start having the craziest dreams a few days to a week after ovulation. No nausea yet but having on and off mild cramping and the girls are teeeeeender!

    Omg so the dreams aren’t just me! This is my first pregnancy and the dreams have been WILD! I thought it was something I ate 🤣 also been having some mild cramping, cup size has probably gone up half a cup, and I’m tired as hell some days. Mood swings are just starting to hit too…
  • Crazy dreams, sore boobs, extremely bloated (I look 4 months pregnant lol), and dizzy off and on all the time! I’m hoping the intense symptoms at just 5w are a good sign

    Did anyone have spotting that lasted for almost 2 weeks?
  • Anyone else have symptoms that just completely come and go? I’m 5w, 4d today.. Had super sore boobs for the first couple weeks but yesterday and today they’ve been fine! I felt great yesterday, today I told my husband I feel completely hungover… minus the alcohol. 🥴
  • Crazy vivid dreams every night! I never remember my dreams and if I do it’s more the emotion I was feeling. But with this pregnancy it’s like watching a weird TV show lol 
  • Update: this super nose is killing me. My shampoo/conditioner is making me gag, the tummy lotion/oil is gross smelling. 
  • Just feeling overall gross and sluggish.

    I had this and bleeding and was CERTAIN I had miscarried, ultrasound on Friday showed a viable pregnancy - my dates were just somehow two weeks off. 

    Will be checking again in 3 weeks praying for a good report! 
  • I’ve always had weird vivid dreams, but last night I had a dream I had quadruplets 😵‍💫 2 girls and 2 boys
  • I’m 6 weeks and 2 days, this is my first pregnancy and I’m 36 years old. So far can’t complain about my symptoms. Barely any nausea (only when I smell tuna or well water that has sulfur in it - rotten egg smell) I’ve been craving more fruit and veggies, appetite is smaller, maintaining my weight pretty well so haven’t really gained anything. Have had a decent amount of energy but some random days I’ll feel exhausted so I take a nap. Been having trouble sleeping though most of the pregnancy so far, even with taking unisom to sleep.
  • I am. Not 2 weeks yet, but 5 days already. Went to get blood work done and my hcg is low. Did u get anything done?
  • The daily size facts in this app kill me. How is something the size of a keyboard key making me feel this awful!??
  • @elsalee26 I literally laughed out loud because I have cried to my husband about this same thing for weeks 🤣😭 are you nauseous? My doc recommended I try unisom and b6 because it helps with the next day nausea and it totally worked, I actually felt human today! I posted a pic in the nausea thread if you wanna see exactly what I got.
