Symptoms?

[laangel]

Ok ladies, how are you feeling?

My symptoms so far:
Thrush (I always get this when pregnant and I can't get rid of it until I have the baby)...any tips greatfully accepted!
Nausea: A am feeling fairly sick most of the day, although it eased after dinner last night which as good as I was out at my friends and didnt want a whole load of questions! Lets hope it doesn't get any worse!
No period: no explanation needed
Tired: yesterday afternoon I was exhausted and the thought of (hopefully) moving house within the next month is a bit of a mountain of a prospect!

I think that's about it for now...
hope you are all feeling good hugs Laura x

So sorry to hear about your thrush! I'm a bit more tired than usual and have nausea in the mornings and whenever I let my stomach get empty. I've had a couple of weird food aversions too. The protein shake I usually drink after working out suddenly tastes awful and today I ate a Wheat Thin of all things and it tasted so salty I could barely choke it down. Other than that, I just have a general "something's happening in my body" feeling. It's very exciting and a little scary too!

Oh, gosh, there are so many! I cramped for 7-10 days after ovulation until right after implantation. I've been nauseous daily since 3-4dpo with food aversions and cravings opposite of last pg (hope that means it's a girl this time ) Got my first charlie horse last night - guess I'll have to start taking my cal/mag earlier than I thought! The biggest one, though, is the exhaustion. I'm just floored from the moment I wake up :yawning

ETA: Forgot about the lightheadedness and headaches I had during the TWW. And the waking up at 4am every day for a week. And the thirstiness and frequent peeing now.

I'm a bit nauseous, lightheaded here and there, sore abdomen, tired but not exhausted. That's about it right now. I just have to force myself to eat every few hours and it helps so much. Lots of water too!

My symptoms so far:
-fatigue, i have had a nap every day since 9dpo
-mild nausea at 13dpo, none now
-sore breasts and tender nipples (seem to be gone today, is that bad???)
-cramping lower abdomen and back
-gassy

I'm just thirsty all the time, and hungrier than usual. I'm also feeling generally run down, but I've also been fighting a head cold the last few days (blech). Anyway, I'm hoping the nausea holds off for a while as it didn't start until 6 or 7 weeks for me last time, and then carried right on through to 22 weeks. I'm trying to use this time to stock the freezer for DH and DD before I can't stand cooking smells

I have been so tired lately and I get headaches in the evenings, which basically means I am going to bed earlier these days (it was the same with my other pregnancies too.) I have had some mild cramping, but nothing to uncomfortable. The symptom bothering me the most is my breast soreness and nipple sensitivity. I am very protective of my chest these days because an elbow from a little boy is soooo painful. Only a tiny bit of nausea, but only if I haven't eaten enough.

[UberMama]

I've had nausea off and on, lack of appetite, and I am very tired.

[Traceround]

My nipples feel like they are sunburned and being rubbed with sandpaper. My breasts don't hurt otherwise. I'm also a bit crampy and always tired.

It is still too early for me, I think. I'm not sceduled to take my first beta for another week. I'm not expecting a period at all (haven't had one since 2007) and so I can't use that as any kind of indicator.

I'm feeling run down and tired. If I can make it be bed by 9, I'm a happy girl.
Bit of tummy unhappiness. I had some cramping last night. And my lower back was so sore yesterday.

[Jen H.]

Not much happening here.

I'm tired, but that could easily be attributed to my two-year-old, who has me running non-stop and who wakes up at 5 a.m. every morning! And I'm fighting a cold.

Super thirsty too, but also my throat is dry and scratchy from the cold, so it could just be that.

Feeling bloated and fat - like PMS but with no period coming!

[Traceround]

Did anyone else have this happen?

I have really thick and curly hair. Normally when I wash my hair I lose quite a bit and have at least a good handful to clean out of my detangling brush and off the shower wall.

This evening when I washed my hair, I didn't lose even a fraction of the amount I usually do despite not having washed my hair in close to a week.

Yes, I noticed this too. This also happened in my last pregnancy and boy did my hair grow!!

I also have a raging thirst today which I shall add to my list!!Yup am def expecting!

My first sign is always sore breasts. I'm also nursing and it feels awful. Thankfully, we're down to nap, nighttime, and morning. I'm definitely tired, have been nauseous on and of, and extremely thirsty. Oh, and the peeing! I.JUST.CAN'T.STOP. I'm waking up at least once in the night.

[gen24]

not much going on so far:
super thirsty and a bit of cramping
but I'm expecting the morning sickness in about a week or 2 if I have the same symptoms as last time...not looking foward to that.

[Bri&lexismom]

I'm VERY thirsty! I don't remember this with my other kids.

VERY sore boobs. I can't even walk up my stairs without grabbing them in pain!

Felling sick to the tummy only a little. Like I said before spending days in the hospital at a time is over morning sickness is the norm for me. So I'm hoping this is a sign that maybe it won't be so bad this time!

Peeing a lot!

I'm so very tired. After I get my kids to school I go back to bed until noon. Then I take a nap with the kids after they get back and then back in bed around 9ish.

[soso-lynn]

I'm tired, I'm hungry all the time. I have to pee all the time. My breasts feel heavier and my nipples turned a dark purple. I also have been having intermittent pulling feelings in my uterus and ovaries.

I am no yet throwing up but I do feel that my stomach is working extra-hard to keep me nausea free.

Another amazing thing happened yesterday. I have been having massive headaches for the past few years and even on days when I feel good, I still always feel the fog or remnent of the previous headache or the beginning of the next. Yesterday I woke up with no headache or signs of headache past or future. It is the same today. I dont know if it is just a coincidence but I really hope it will continue to be this way.

Nausea since about 4 dpo. Mostly just the continuous mouth-watering that comes with the nausea, though riding in the car makes be very nauseated. We went up to Mt. Rainier for a day trip on Sunday and the turns got me so sick that we had to pull over and I threw up.

Aversion to sweets (or, low tolerance for them) is the only other thing I have going on right now. (Other than missing AF, of course.)

[Sonnet]

My midwife told me that Dramamine is fine to take during pregnancy for the nausea. I take it for carsickness already, so I was glad to hear that I don't have to stop, or I guess we'd have to trade the car in for a horse and buggy for the next nine months.

[Traceround]

So now I am technically 3 weeks 6 days.

My nipples feels sunburned and sore. They have also enlarged and darkened a tiny bit. My breasts feel a bit heavier but I am not sure about that.

I haven't noticed any changes in taste or smell but I really really want nothing to drink but apple juice. I am normally NOT a juice person and apple juice generally makes me sick to my stomach. For some reason though now, it is the most delicious thing ever.

My nose has been runnier lately too. That might just be allergies though.
