Symptoms

[Babidol]

Tell me your symptoms. I feel like poo. I have the sorest boobies on the planet. I still have cramping/tugging/pulling right in front. Although last night I had sharp pain that felt like it was coming from my right ovary. Please let that be a cyst. I'm thinking it is since all of my cramping to date has been in the front. The stupid dreams are killing me. I am up all stupid night with vivid dreams, worst case scenarios, and a brain that won't shut off. I hate complaining because I am so happy to be pregnant but this is exhausting.

I'm exhausted. I slept a little better last night, but here I am so tired today. I am feeling nauseous a little and food aversions. That's about all really.

It's ok to complain, pregnancy is hard.

Let's see here - I'm tired, even after falling asleep at 7:30 last night with ds! I'm queasy off and on throughout the day, though some days are worse than others. Today is the first time I thought I was going to lose the contents of my stomach, but I hurried up and ate a cracker, and that helped. I've had a few food aversions but, again, nothing too consistent. I've starting waking up in the middle of the night to pee. I think that one is supposed to get worse each pregnancy, and I definitely found that to be true last time around! I'm still getting some cramps off and on, but those are tapering off. The dizziness is getting better too.

No sore boobs here, thank goodness! I had those with my first pregnancy, and that is it!

And I definitely don't take any discussion of symptoms as seeming ungrateful. Pregnancy, espcially the first trimester, really is difficult, no matter how thankful you are for the reason you're feeling that way.

Sore boobs started yesterday and I feel like they've gotten bigger... No real nausea yet, but a bit of constipation bouts. I'll have to update this in 2 weeks because I'm guessing it'll kick it full then.
I totally tested again today for fun and my Test line was like double the darkness of the control line. Woot!

I would like to lay in bed and die. I am sooo... sick, woke up an hour early to take a zofran before I got up but I'm at work puking my brains out. This baby better be a keeper because he/she is sucking the life out of me!Hope no one else is feeling so bad and cranky!

No symptoms really yet. Occasional nausea, but that's it. Which it's to early for major symptoms for me. Most women don't start experiencing them until after 6 weeks and I never have either. I hope y'all get relief from all the puking soon!

[Babidol]

Sorry about the puking I have wicked indigestion today. I slept better last night with fewer dreams. Still cramping quite a bit though and my pants are tighter but I'm losing weight.

[LSVNurse]

I'm updating my symptoms. Sooooo sleeeeeepy and less of an appetite but no real nausea yet. Last time, the nausea kicked in at 6 weeks, but I had constipation from the start. No constipation this time around, strangly. Have lost 3 lbs, but it's probably due to eating less bc of the appetite and no more beer and wine (sad - but for a good cause ) My face has cleared and no migraines, but I feel like my hair has lost its luster - does that make sense? I look droopy. Maybe I'm just too tired to care. Zzzzzzz. My dreams are WICKED complex and I do get up to pee at night though I don't have to pee a lot during the day yet. So far, it's different than last pregnancy, with some aspects the same. I do think I'm having a boy!

Hi! New to this month as of yesterday!! My boobs are hurting, I have some cramping still, some sharper twinges (nothing major), and the dreams!!! Omg.. that should have been my first clue before even taking a pregnancy test. I've had dreams about being chased by guys with guns, I was part of a "Holocaust" type situation and omg it was just a terribly vivid dream.

[Mommabird]

I finally got my go-to-i-am-for-sure-pregnant sign!! It is this weird numbness I get in my legs. It has been the first sign I have gotten with all my babies (except this little tyke) I have been waiting for this now for 2 weeks!!

My sickie tummy seems to have gotten a little better so thats good. But I am still having the pulling twinges in my left side. I have a ginormous corpus over there so I think that is what it is. Ta-ta's are sore, but not as bad as previous pg's. Only when I get an elbow from one of the kids or something. With the first 2 I had a hard time even wearing a bra without getting pain.

I agree with a pp that you should feel free to rant and vent about these icky symptoms. I love being pregnant buuuuuut honestly for me pregnancy is kind of a means to an end. You go through this stuff so you can hold your precious baby in your arms. There is nothing we wouldn't do for our children, even before they are born. But that being said, nobody should expect you to always be cheerful and happy to be puking or have swollen feet and pain. Hang in there Mama!

Cravings have started. Mmmmm subway. I'm still having some cramping, RLP, sore boobies, fatigue, and steamy dreams.

My craving was subway yesterday!! Today's its this cheese, bacon fondue we get at our local bar. Needless to say, my dh is very pleased for this craving and has happily taken himself out for a drink to satisfy my craving. Haha

I'm so glad to hear you say this. I promise you, I felt RLP before I had my BFP, and I didn't even think that was possible. But it's a very distinct feeling, there is no denying it! I didn't have it again until the past couple weeks, and now I'm getting it at the usual times (when I sneeze, get up too sharply, etc.). I have heard that sort of thing starts earlier in each pregnancy, but I was NOT expecting it this soon!

I've been really queasy, but no throwing up, thankfully. The dull cramps have lessened a lot, but I still get them sometimes - I had them after my pap, and I am having some this morning. I'm still tired, and I'm waking up to pee in the night, but like LSVNurse said, I'm not really going much more duing the day yet - it all depends on what I drink. I had my first bout with constipation, and my CM is really flowing, lol.

My boobs are still not sore (they weren't sore with ds either), but I do think they are getting heavier, and the veins are starting to show up a little more. I wasn't sure if that would happen since I'm still nursing ds at night.

I've had a few cravings, too!

[missmc]

My symptoms are nausea, cramping and really tired! My boobs are a tab bit sensitive, but that's not usually one of my symptoms. With my other two kids I had cysts and they really hurt!

[LSVNurse]

Well we can add morning sickness to that list of symptoms. It didn't kick in until 6 weeks with the last one... I wonder if I'm further along than I thought??
Back to drinking tea and getting rest....

[missmc]

Back to drinking tea and getting rest....

OMG...I can't get enough of tea right now! I don't ever remember drinking so much tea in my life!

[Linzo]

I am getting sharp cramps when I stand up or move quickly.. are these normal you think? I can't stand not remembering how my first pregnancy was. I can remember googling cramping during pregnancy for the first couple weeks, haha. So.. cramps are normal, yes? I hate the anxiety I'm having. I just feel like since it took 5 months to get pregnant and now that I'm am- it's too good to be true. Hate feeling like that!

Sounds like round ligament pains and are totally normal. I get them real bad when I sneeze.You can always call your de to confirm. I always recommend that. So sorry for you ladies dealin with morning sickness. Trust me I feel your pain. I'm 18 weeks and still get extremely nauseated. Just glad not to be puking my brains out and not being in the hospital. It should be over soon for you ladies. bake babies bake! I stalk all the due date rooms I'm from November due dates.
