Alrighty ladies, name your symptoms!! - Page 3

[zjande]

I'm dizzy in the mornings. It goes away just a bit after I eat, but it's weird. Is it because we're developing so much more blood & it's just a lot for our systems to deal with? ? This being pregnant stuff is sure weird. :LOL

[flyingspaghettimama]

Hmm. I have noticed that I've either been hungry or thirsty when it happens or it's been at least 2 hours since I last ate when it happens. There ya go. I'll try bringing a little snack with me (nuts or something). Seeing as I've been lucky enough without the sickness (mostly)...

this is me. good to know i'm not alone in my gassyness. :LOL i didn't know it was a side effect of the prog - I will cling to that

I'm incredibly paranoid about losing my milk. I think i would be devastated.

I can't say I've been having all that many symptoms. However, there are some that raise my attention. I find it funny that since my boyfriend and I found out I was pregnant, neither of us could eat eggs. Embarassingly enough, I've also been ten times more flatulant than I am normally and INSANELY tired. What I intend to be an hour nap miraculously turns into a 5 hour sleep.

I'm so tired the past couple of days!!

[Queen of Cups]

I'm on my pregnancy-sleep-schedule again... I'm exhausted by mid-afternoon, I fall asleep by 10pm, and I'm up at 7am. My usual schedule is stay up till 1am or later and sleep till 8-9am. At least I match up better with DS now!

HEARTBURN!!!!! Very tired (been going to bed at 8 pm), backache and eating a TON! No nausea or morning sickness yet!!! **fingers crossed**

[*Amy*]

My gums started throbbing yesterday, and the nausea is really ramping up since about 4:00pm yesterday. It's reassuring though, so I can't complain.

[gratefulbambina]

Im really tired, but having trouble sleeping
Ive had occasional nausua, but nothing consitant

Im very gassy, but all I want to eat is spicy food so that could be why

Frequent urination & thirsty all the time

Hi ladies, I am new to this board. I am expecting my first little munchkin at the end of November.

So far, I had some intense cramping the day after I expected my period. I have not felt nauseous yet, but I definitely feel better when I am eating constantly like every two hours. My boobies have been tender but started to hurt pretty bad today. I peed like 4 times last night. Sometimes I get dizzy when I am in my yoga class.

My hubby and I tried for 14 months so we are ecstatic about this baby. Congratulations to all of you ladies also. I look forward to learning a lot from you all in the coming months

I was finally able to determine my biggest symptom as of yet - this PMS-like worrying/irrational concern pattern. Then I read somewhere else that yes indeed, that's what pregnancy hormones can do for you. It makes it better, but I will still feel worried excessively about smallish things (i.e. what if I contract mondo bizarro pregnancy disease that causes birth defects? why am i having headaches? why am I not supposed to eat feta but it was in my pregnancy book's recipes? why does my best friend's daughter have that weird rash all over her face and is it transmissible? What happens if I work out too much? What about the neighbors doing all this painting and construction?) and all that other good stuff that normally doesn't bother me at all but gets me a little worked up a day or two before my period.

I imagine it's some sort of evolutionary way of pregnant women being extra sensitive and protecting their unborn young. Or maybe it's sleep deprivation. God knows, I wish it to be gone.

I've been having mild achiness/cramps the past couple of days. Nothing sharp or piercing, and it's general rather than on one side. I'm 6W today, so is it likely that this is just my uterus stretching a bit? I know I read about it in one of my books, but now I can't find it again. Anyone else experience this?

My nausea is on the rise, so I figure that's a good sign. Man, hurry up and get here, April 11th!!!

[flapjack]

OK, my morning sickness is here. The last two/three days I haven't been able to keep my head out of the toilet : Just what I didn't need. Strangely enough, though, since the pukiness started I'm feeling less tired- how weird is that? Oh, and the pregnancy dreams have kicked in as well- last night I was dreaming that I forgot to put my pet snake away- I don't even HAVE a snake?!?
What happens on April 11th, Amy? Scan date?

[*Amy*]

Yep, the ultrasound where we find out if there is a heartbeat. :

Tired, nausea, but the biggest one right now is gas and diarhea . I've had burpy gassiness before, but the is from the other end! I guess it beats puking, but it's still unpleasant.

Okay I am 7weeks and I have been hit so stinking hard. I had nausea and vomiting with dh#1 and EARLY contrx and bad heartburn with dh#2. But with this one I have heartburn, EXTREME CONSTANT nausea with a lil vominting with NO RELEASE!, Sooooo tired I can barely function feeling all these things. I was tired from day one and that lasted 3 weeks before i found out I was PG. I just want to be able to function. I have my okay and horrible days but I think I am hitting a routine. I feel okay in the morn and then slowly the horrible nausea sets in and by afternoon I just am desperate for relief. Then I start feeling a lil better towards evening and by bedtime I feel the best. Some mornings start off bad and then its just HELL! Sorry! I know thats harsh. Its hard to be a mommie and feel horrible. I feel as if I am negleting my kiddos. Well I do love that I am PG again. Even with all the woes I am excited to BF again and i am going for a VBAC so all in all I will feel so much better once this cloud passes. It needs to hurry!

[Queen of Cups]

3 for me - your post cracked me up! I'm assuming you meant "dc" (dear child) instead of "dh" (dear husband)! If DH#1 made you vomit and DH#2 gave you heartburn then you do have bad luck!

I've got morning sickness throughout the day. In the little spurts of time that I feel good, I try to do everything I can, because I know within a few hours I'll be feeling sick again and won't be able to do anything... Luckily, my MIL is here to help out for a couple weeks...

[3 for me]

LOL!!! Oh wow, I am sooo pg that my brain is just so dead. I mean I truely have no brain cells left. Well, YES I did mean "DC" Thanks for noticing! I can't believe I did that! How funny!
