Hello all -

I am about 5 weeks, 4 days along. When I was pregnant back in 2010 (m/c), I recall being extremely sick about now. I remember extreme fatigue, nausea, food aversions.

Right now I have nothing but tender breasts and lots of snot-like CM (TMI!!!!)

I am 5 weeks 5 days today...I have some symptoms but through a large portion of the day I barely feel pregnant. Tender/sore breasts, lots of cm as you mentioned, I can smell everything and I'm hungry a lot. That's about it. I'll get a wave of hormones that will make me super hormonal every once in a while, and I'll have some queasiness here and there but no real morning sickness yet. I've been reading that symptoms usually really start to pick up around 6-7 weeks, but some people get none and some people start experiencing them around 11 weeks. I think there's a wide range of normal.

With DS my symptoms started at 5w2d and with this kiddo they hit at 5w3d. That one extra day was kinda nice.

This.

Of course, I seem to remember that at this point with DD I didn't have many symptoms, either. I don't think ms kicked in for me until 8 weeks or so, and it wasn't even very bad. But with my history of miscarriages, any time I'm not feeling 'pregnant' I'm nervous. It's not rational, but it's true. Right now the only pregnancy symptoms that are consistent are being very tired with exertion and being short of breath. Pretty much everything else comes and goes as it pleases.

I spoke WAY too soon. I must have jinxed myself because the nausea showed up around 2pm.... And its BAD!!! Been about 4 hours now... Should have just shut my big ol mouth lol!!

My breasts starting hurting/tingling before I even missed my period. The nausea is just now starting the past couple days. I'm 5w4d. I usually get more nausea around 6 wks so we'll see what happens.

I am 5w4d and not showing any MS at all.

Had sore breasts and heartburn since week 4....but other than that no nausea. 

I can smell everything too....and since past 2 days...feel short of breath....

My symptoms started at week 3, and I didn't find out I was pregnant until week 5. I just dismissed them as PMS, since my period was going to arrive any day. Then a friend of mine asked if we were pregnant and that prompted us to test. LOL. We really didn't think we were, even with the intense hunger, bloated belly, food aversions, and serious mood swings. Now we are 8 weeks and baby is very healthy! :-)

My symptoms started around week 5 this time around.  I started off with just a BIT of queasiness (like really just a wave here or there).  I was VERY tired, even before I knew I was pregnant.  I'd go over to a friend's house to hang out and wake up 3 hours later on their couch, not even remembering falling asleep.  By breasts have been sore since about 5 weeks.  I have to pee all the time, though that didn't really kick in until about 6 weeks.  I've been out of breath when I walk fast, or long, where I wouldn't have been before.  I could smell EVERYTHING from about 4 weeks on.

I'm 7 weeks now, and the nausea is rearing its ugly head. I nearly tossed my cookies at my Dr. appt yesterday, and it totally hit me out of the blue. One moment I was completely fine - then I stood up and nearly lost my breakfast. 

Every pregnancy for me has been totally different as far as symptoms and when they show up.

This is my 5th pregnancy & 4th baby....first time I've had morning sickness. WOWZA--so not fun! It only lasts a few hours.

[Marissamom]

third pregnancy, and I don't have many symptoms until 7-8 weeks. and first and third pregnancies morning sickness was gone after a week.

I had some symptoms during implantation, I think. Then sore breasts and cramping around when I was expecting my period. Then extreme hunger right after I found out (around 5 weeks). Then 6 weeks hit and I feel AWFUL. Exhaustion, nausea, diarrhea...ick. Luckily the diarrhea has subsided.
