How is everyone feeling?? « Back to Group Discussions

Any symptoms yet?? I know it's still early.

I'm normally throwing up by now! So far... No nausea! Yay! I have been in bed before 9 every night though! I can't believe how tired I am!

[dayiscoming2006]

I feel pretty good. Since the beginning of this pregnancy I feel my uterus doing stuff. Don't know how to explain that exactly, but I always get that feeling. The pregnancy hormones seem to be pretty strong in me because the relaxin has left my ligaments and bones all out of wack. I walk with irritating pain. When I looked it up it looks like it's posterior pelvic pain. Basically the back of the pelvis hurts. I have it near my right tailbone area the most. I never had that with any of my other pregnancies. I also had some tooth demineralization within the first week or 2 and since adding in more cal/mag (1000mg daily) I have seen my teeth begin to remineralize, thank God! I also have had a few food aversions. I can't stand the taste of beef broth, yellow mustard, or salmon. I also have some shortness of breath. Can't quite seem to get the amount of air I desire. And lots of gas/burping. 

This has been a stranger pregnancy so far. I got my BFP at 10 DPO and had a BFN at 8 DPO, but skipped 9 DPO and think I would have gotten a faint positive that day because my 10 dpo bfp was pretty strong. I'm really suspicious of twins, though I know it very well could just be one. I never got that early of a BFP before, but we'll see.

No nausea here yet either. I never got that until around 6 weeks though, so possibly within the next week or so. I also feel pretty tired and need to go to bed early.

This is the earliest I have ever felt this bad! lol 
I have "morning" sickness, which is a medium level of just blecchy tummy. I am sooo tired every afternoon I usually have to nap, I already feel all manner of weird uterine 'stuff', and I have the pregnancy dropsies already! My DP likes to tease me because ordinarily I am fairly graceful. 

This summer I lost 40 lbs. and when I first tested I had hoped that it would help me have a more energetic 1st trimester. Not happening! 
My appetite is still pretty low and I have lost another 3 lbs. since testing 2 weeks ago. I am assuming that will even out and I will hold steady for the majority of my pregnancy.

All I have so far is tender breasts and tiredness. This is the only pregnancy I've ever had where I didn't immediately know I was knocked up (the first two times I knew within a few hours I'd gotten pregnant). I was genuinely surprised to see two lines this time!

I'm a little worried that I don't 'feel' pregnant. Anyone else in that boat with me? Maybe this baby will just be super easy, lol!

I know some of this for me is paranoia since our miscarriage is still so fresh in my mind. But yes, I'm not feeling pregnant at all. Normally, I'd have extreme nausea.

I'm tired but what mother of 3 under 6 isn't?! And today I feel less tired than yesterday. Honestly, I feel great! Which isn't what I associate with early pregnancy! Ha!

Maybe we will just get lucky and have super easy pregnancies!

I guess I have had round ligament pain... and my hips feel loose already too ~ they are popping in and out once or twice a day.

I can't imagine having 3 kids under 6! You are my hero!

I have breast tenderness and my nipples are basically always at attention.  I need new bras.

I have also had icky tummy.  Not really nauseous, I just feel icky especially if I wait too long to eat.  I also go from not hungry to SUPER HANGRY in a second.  Very weird.

I also have the burps.  Which is weird because I basically never burp.  

I'm hoping I can stay away from the nausea because I have inner ear issues that cause vertigo so have bouts of really bad nausea without being pregnant!

Yeah, that's me too ^ hard to remember everything. LOL

I didn't start getting "icky" tummy until today, but I had the hunger thing practically right away.

Simliar stuff here.

Huge sore boobs (had to buy new bras) and super tired. A little bit cranky, or so I've been told ;) which probably means rather a lot cranky and he is being nice. LIght cramping and ab pain. A lot of  "evening" sickness, nausea and very mild vomiting. Usually this passes fast for me. Definitely feeling it harder than this summer when we miscarried, so I am starting to feel a tiny bit optimistic.

[BabyMae09]

Does anyone else have round ligament pain? What does yours feel like?
 

[heyitskalista]

No round ligament pain here.  I'm nor sure I've ever had it?

i don't have any breast soreness/nipple sensitivity or bigger boobs--which feels totally odd to me as that has been my first indicator every pregnancy...but i'm still nursing. so of course i panicked for a day that we weren't really pregnant. but then did a bit of research and found out that can happen when nursing still :) 

i did have the nauseated if didn't eat right away thing a couple of times the week before testing positive...and the nausea has been on the low side, though i felt it more frequently today-- i think it peaked for me last pregnancy between 8-12 weeks. so i still have a bit to go...and of course i heard nursing can affect this too--and i hope so! :) i would be grateful it it just stayed at queasy like to day and didn't go into full-out vomiting which i did last pregnancy.

super tired-- napping every day with my son- i just pass out and it feel so good! :)

hungry. all. the. time. :)

I've been crampy and moody for a couple weeks now.  My breasts hurt, but I don't know if it's because my baby's nursing habits are changing or due to preg. hormones.  I have loose stools like crazy... TMI?  Sorry!   It's yucky.   I have SPD and it has not improved since my last pregnancy (baby is 7 mo. old).  I'm a little worried about it getting worse, but I plan on getting massages and chiro adjustments regularly this time.   I've been pretty fatigued, too, but I found something that helps... I've been adding this Iron supplement to my water every morning.  Must be a tiny bit anemic due to bf'ing while pregnant.   Also, a B multi supplement has helped.   I'm really, really dreading morning sickness... Had it BAD throughout my last pregnancy, and it started at about the 6 week mark, which I'm on the cusp of right now.  Hoping the magnesium supplementation I've been doing will help prevent some of that this time.

Also, I have Fibromyalgia.  So, I'm in pain a lot, regardless of pregnancy.  Anyone else dealing with a chronic illness?

I found a really great raw pre-natal vitamin/probiotic that I've been taking that is helping a lot with preggo sypmtoms.

I'm feeling not too bad so far. Sore breasts a bit and overwhelming fatigue but no nausea so far. It didn't strike until 6 weeks with my other 2 kids so I'm not counting my chickens yet but I am taking magnesium, chromium, b complex, b12 and I plan to start extra b6 soon so hoping that will help! I also have terrible acid reflux that I have even when not pregnant, but now I can't take my meds so it's bad.

[itsnae]

Feeling great! I have little to no symptoms at 6 wks 2 day pregnant. Had my first consultation with a midwife today! Sooo excited this is my first pregnancy so everything is so new to me. Any thoughts suggestions for a new mother?

[talldarkeyes]

Tender breasts/nipples, food aversions to meat and most other foods, sensitive teeth, cramping mild and not, increased CM, and fatigue. I have an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder which they discovered during testing after my last miscarriage. I had planned a HB with my last two pregnancies but my midwife wants me to see a high risk OB until 20 weeks and my first appointment is next Wednesday. I have also embraced herbalism with this pregnancy and I hope it does the trick!

[Kristen B]

at 5 weeks, I'm pretty crampy, which I was last time around too.  I had awful nausea/vomiting with past pregnancies starting around 7 weeks. I'm really really hoping I'll be spared this time around!

[dayiscoming2006]

I have read studies and some level of nausea is considering a sign of a healthy pregnancy once you reach like 6-8 weeks along. So, everyone who has it, be thankful for your nausea... but we all hope it won't be too bad. :)

Interesting!
