When did your symptoms start?

[eleven]

I'm feeling great and wondering how long it will last!

[Sailmom]

I'm with you - no morning sickness, fatique is not too bad. A little more emotional. It was the same way with dd - Never felt bad until the last month - and the last 2 weeks (she was 2 weeks late) were excruciating. I really LIKED being pregnant and am looking forward to enjoying the experience again. Am I totally weird?

[maxwill129]

I'm feeling a little sick in the morning and getting to feel pretty bad at night. I was fine about 4 days ago. I remember with my last two that the morning sickness started in really bad at like 8 weeks. I hope, though, that this is as sick as I'm going to feel!

I hope things continue to go great for you!

I am glad that there are others that feel great.........I was beginning to feel that I wasn't even pregnant. For a first-timer, this has actually had me a little concerned. Other than some heartburn at the beginning, which is now under control, I am feeling great! I have my first prenatal appointment today, so I am hoping to alleviate some anxiousness that my dh and I have had.

My symptoms are different from my previous two pgs (on ended in loss, the other is my DS) so I thought for sure I had a blighted ovum. My breasta re sore, but I haven't been as nauseated or tired (it comes and goes). We had an appointment to day and everything looks great (saw a tiny beating heart!). I still can't believe it. I really haven't felt very pregnant at all.

I, too, have been feeling great and am so glad that I am. I felt awful with DS, thought I had the stomach flu before I took a test!
I am hoping that things will stay this way, and I can enjoy being pregnant this time, instead of being miserable.

symptoms

"Morning" sickness started 2 days ago. But before I knew I was pregnant, I was being really clutzy and forgetful, totally unlike me. That was my husband's first clue.

aside from being terribly emotional, I'm having no consistent symptoms. I might feel a twinge of queasiness or fatigue from time to time but overall... feeling "normal".
With my last pg I had wretched heartburn, constipation & extreme fatigue by now... and the morning sickness kicked in about a week to 10 days from now.
We'll see how it turns out, it's still so early.

Blech, well I seem to be coming down with a little cold. The only time I get sick is when I'm pregnant. Lots of hot lemon tea for me!

I'm going to count that as my first symptom, around 6 weeks.

[PrinceE&LsMom]

Sickness started a few days before the missed period which is early for me. It usually doesn't kick in till week 7. I am soooo exhausted this time which has never happened either. Must be because I'm 4 years older then the beginning of my last pregnancy.

[mlec]

I'm really tired, spacey, and have a bitter taste in my mouth no matter what I eat or drink. Not nauseated, but the idea of certain foods is appalling right now.

Guess my symptoms kicked in right around 7 weeks. W/ #1 I was sick w/ bronchitis at this point, and in a constant state of queasiness.

[Vick]

For me, the nausea just started and I am 7 1/2 weeks along. With my son I never even threw up! But with this wee one I am having at least one major vomiting episode per day and then nausea off and on throughout the day. I am so grateful for the nausea because this pregnancy has been iffy throughout with bleeding and cramping. Yesterday we saw a beautiful heartbeat via an ultrasound and I am so at ease today.

OK, I have a gross question for those of you who threw up during pregnancy. Was there warning for you that you were going to toss your cookies? It seems that all is well and about ten minutes prior I had a nice breakfast, not too big--just right and then whamo! I am running to the bathroom as fast as I can. Today it happened while I was on the phone with my uncle and it was tricky getting off quickly since I didn't want to tell him I am pregnant yet.

The fatigue kicks my butt though having a 3 1/2 year old around keeps me active and not lying in bed like I want to!

[Glittergal]

Ugh, it started today. I'm 7w 2d.
Sucky, I felt nauseous this morning with an empty stomach and then I felt
sick tonight after I ate. Super tired and I had to unbutton my jeans because I felt so bloated. I'm thinking I'm not going to be enjoying Christmas dinner this weekend

[secretresistance]

My boobs were sore from the day after little sprout got made, and have been since. The most difficult thing to deal with thus far has been the somewhat extreme change in my temperament. Any patience I had before has been drained from me and I feel like I'm a live wire much of the time. It's tough! Couple that with the ease at which I break down into tears, and I'm just a big ol' mess!

Yesterday I threw up for the first time, and have felt queasy on and off since then. I'm nervous to try and eat any breakfast, even though I know it's for the best, since it was looking for food yesterday AM that set me off.

My ravenous hunger has died down, but water has never tasted so good. Following that, I'm also peeing what feels like gallons a day.

All typed out it seems like a lot, but I feel like I'm getting off easier than I prepared for. I guess we'll see!

[secretresistance]

Oh yeah, and I'll be seven weeks tomorrow!

[magpiedee]

I'm on the 6th week of my first pregnancy, and I am also worrying daily about symptoms or lack thereof. My first sign was that I spent 5 days saying, "Ugh, period must start tonight!" due to grouchiness, irrational thinking, weird little cramps and forgetfulness/klutziness. But it never came, so I took a test. And then, squeeee!

Now my main symptom is that if I do not eat the nanosecond I think I might be hungry, I feel like an enormous black hole that may or may not barf. But I haven't barfed yet. My mom had no morning sickness, so here's to hoping! My sense of smell is extremely strong now-- I can smell the metal fixtures in the bathtub, and perfume or potpourri makes me queasy. I occasionally have little twinges like cramps, and they do worry me somewhat, but past moms have assured me it's perfectly normal.

My biggest worry is that my bosoms haven't started swelling up or feeling tender or sore. They are perfectly normal bosoms in every respect. They'd better start doing their job!

My first exam is January 23, and I can't wait to see that heartbeat and know all is well. When I turned 28 last year, I told my husband that I wished there was a way to make time slow down, because it seems to be speeding by. Being pregnant has effectively taken care of that issue-- every day feels like an eternity. Every time I pee and don't see blood, I say a little prayer of thanks. It's good to hear that i'm not the only one!

[KarmaChameleon]

I am 7 weeks tomorrow and i have been nauseous for the last week if not longer, which is WAY early compared to my last 2 pregnancies (where MS started around 10 weeks)...but today I woke up and didn't feel sick, and I have only gotten queasy a couple times....could I be over it?!?!?!?!?!

That would be so great, with my girls I got sick around 10 weeks but it was over by 11.5 or 12 weeks.

[Ursula Rose]

I think I really started feel feel nauseous at 6w. I also got a slight headache at w. They have been with me pretty much every day for the past 2 weeks.

Tomorrow I am 8 weeks. I am so proud.

[the_lissa]

They started about 5 and a half weeks. Boo.
