I was vomiting by then. But I vomited pretty early at both pregnancies. Not sure of other symptoms because vomiting was the most disruptive.

I felt so terrible all the time I was getting depressed and regretting getting pregnant. I was asleep most nights by 7pm. I was also very emotionally reactiv. I did not throw up though.

And it all went away.

I didn't have any, really - I was just exhausted.

with DS, nothing except a missed period, HG kicked in around 7-8 weeks

with DD, full blown morning sickness some days, nothing others.

with this little girly... nausea that felt like i was going to vomit but didnt actually vomit until 7-8 weeks, horrible fatigue, bloating, cramping and tender breasts, increased sense of smell... but this girly has a different daddy too and they say that makes a huge difference (it seems to, NOTHING like my other pregnancies!)


pretty much anything within the realm of normal is normal... from nothing to every symptom under the sun or any combination thereof.

Not much of anything at all, apart from moderately sore breasts and sleepiness. Some occasional, mild lower back cramping.

So that's like a week after AF was due, right? I that case I had few symptoms then. Maybe a bit of feeling like I needed to keep my belly full, slightly fuller breasts, a bit of a bloated feeling, easier time falling a sleep for a nap. That's about all I can remember.

Oh yeah, and occasional sharp/twingey pulling feelings around my uterus, particularly when I stood up. Those have continued but are lessening now.

Fatigue, mildy sore breasts and a change in appetite. I usually eat the same things over and over (PB on whole wheat toast, string cheese, apples plus whatever DH cooks for dinner), but early in this pregnancy none of my standard foods sounded good and it was always a struggle to find something that did. For about a week I had a handful of almonds and a couple squares of dark chocolate for my lunch every day.

I dont know if I AM pregnant or not yet, I have a strong feeling I am though... My HPTs with my last pregnancy (that ended in miscarriage) never showed up positive and I only found out via blood test that my hcg count was almost in the 50s. I was exhausted with that one and felt sick to my stomach at night.... with my first baby I was sick from the start and all that good stuff... with my second I had no symptoms until I was 9 weeks (then morning sickness and everything kicked in)... this time I had an odd short light, bright red extra watery "period" two weeks ago, it only lasted a day and then spotted the same stuff for two more days... since then I have had mild on again off again cramping every day, I have been extremely exhausted and have been taking naps when my girls do (which I never do)... I have an increase sense of smell and taste, creamy white cm every day, and yesterday I started peeing more than I normally do and my uterus started getting this heavy dull achy feeling all day long and this morning I had to take one of my reglan pills I had left over from my second pregnancy to keep myself from getting sick. I have an appointment tomorrow and I am going to ask for a blood test. Hopefully I will get one.

If I go off of my last NORMAL period then I would be 5 weeks and 5 days today, which would put my due date around May 16th.

Wish me luck!

(And I would still like to hear about everyone's symptoms so I can compare to mine... and yes, I know every pregnancy is different lol)

Same for me. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but in retrospect I was like, "Ah, that all makes sense now..."

I was hungry. Everything else felt normal. I wasn't even tired but I was still 'coming down' emotionally from finding out that I was pregnant. I don't think I stopped smiling for weeks, lol.

Nausea&vomiting. I'm 21 weeks and I have only had a handful of symptoms since (constipation and sore breasts).

for my dd's... NOTHING. not one symptom. i thought i was getting my af, b/c i had some cramping. that's it. if it weren't for the fact that i never got my af, and then the bfp... i wouldn't even believe i was pg (several weeks later i got a food aversion with both and nausea with dd2 and then exhaustion).

with ds, i KNEW i was pg before i got my bfp b/c i developed pigmented spots on my upper lip and my uterus was buzzing (like a low-level current of electricity running through it). even though i kept getting bfn, i KNEW i was pg. i got my bfp several days after af was due.

never got breast tenderness (then again, i tandem nursed twice).

@ 5wks, no real symptoms besides my breasts feeling "tingly" at times. @ 6wks, though, full-blown all-day nausea.

I am nursing now as well... did your milk come in a little stronger? My boobs feel slightly fuller and my let down has become stronger as well. Its uncomfortable to sleep on my tummy now because of how uncomfortable my boobs are.

Menstrual-style cramps, and my abdomen hurt like crazy when I sneezed or coughed. Also, I was exhausted. Started taking naps daily.

no, i never noticed anything different with my breasts, except that i lost my milk by the second month or so. dry-nursed for the rest of the pg, then tandemed. got pg for the third time, tandemed through that pg, thought i would triandem, but #1 weaned when she saw the milk come out after baby was born... thought it was gross. LOL! so then tandemed the next two.
