How is everyone feeling?

[jumpincholla]

I have had a rough week...not pregnancy related...so I'm feeling a little strained and had a really hard time sleeping last night. As far as the pregnancy I'm tired and hungry and slightly nauseous throughout the day. I was extremely grumpy for a number of days, but that seems to have (mostly) passed, thank goodness! Also my sacrum has already started hurting. I am going to buy a bolster for sleeping with between my knees sooner rather than later. How about you?

Hey, mamas! I am 5 weeks 1 day and feeling pretty good, actually. I am exhausted all the time and if I don't eat often enough I feel a bit weak and lightheaded but overall I am doing well. I was really constipated but we are working on that and things seem to be getting better. I also have cramping and I swear I feel round ligament pain already. I had twins last time so I am thinking I am probably pretty stretched out.

So far so good. Trying not to worry, and alternate between wanting symptoms to confirm the pg and NOT NOT wanting my bad ms from last pg to rear its head. LOL. Tired, but I'm always tired! Happy! Excited.

I am feeling pretty good. I feel tired every now and again and I have a weird taste in my mouth, not metalic but dry one minute then really salavating the next. Boobs are kinda sore and heavier than normal but not noticable bigger(although DH swears they are)wishful thinking perhaps. In the past my ms started dead on 6 weeks so I am thinking I have another 8 days of grace. I don't eat normally now. Not cravings but just not having my usual meals. I like roasts and main meals in the evening but now seem to have gone right off proper food. I even missed the birthday Macdonalds yesterday with my dd which is really weird.

I have been really cranky for the past week or so...now I know why. Now that I know the reason, the crankiness seems to have subsided.

My breasts are sore...that was my tip off. No sickness (knock on wood) so far.

I am doing really well too. I don't have any MS symptoms, but I don't usually get those until week 6. I am hoping that being positive about it, and basically saying that I am not going to be sick, will be enough to get me through this first trimester!

I am drinking a gallon of water a day, which seems to really help. I am peeing like crazy, but it is keeping me from snacking (I gained 75 pounds in pregnancy 1, 19 in pregnany 2, and a good 70 in pregnancy 3) I recently lost 20, which put me at 161, but then I friggin' gained 15 back and then promptly got pregnant.

Grrrrrr....

(I wonder if anyone will notice if I just go to bed)

I'm 5 weeks exactly. The cramping and swollen feeling have pretty much subsided. I have extremely tender nipples. I'm thirsty, and peeing a lot. And I'm tired. Oh boy, am I tired. It's easy for me to get out of breath, and I get a little woozy if I try to do too much.

No morning sickness yet, but I remember that being the case with the last pregnancy too. I did notice some phantom bad smells today (meaning that my husband couldn't smell anything, but it was overpowering to me), which is probably a sign that morning sickness is on its way.

I hear ya about being tired, I am DOG tired!

Other than that I feel pretty good actually, I have been REALLY dry mouthed the last week or so and have been getting dizzy spells here and there (I don't think mine are related to being hungry though, I can get them JUST after eating also).

As far as the round ligament pain, I *know* I have been having those. I hate them, if I try and get up too quickly or twist in a certain way trying to reach for something I get them so I try to avoid doing things like that

Still no morning sickness (crosses fingers) and none of that horrible "super smelling" nose that I usually get, no heartburn yet, oh I guess moderate need to pee more often.

Actually the "super smelling" nose thing, I ALWAYS have a stronger sense of smell than my DH and things regularly bother me that he doesn't even notice, it gets to be about 100x worse when I'm pregnant.

I've had a rough few weeks at work, lots of stress, very little sleep, so I don't know what's preg related and what's just exhaustion. I've been feeling slightly nauseous for about 10 days, tired, not as hungry as usual but feeling the need to eat small amounts more often. I've lost about 5 lbs, and my breasts have been full and sore. I've had some slight twingy cramping, but nothing bad. I think that's it.

I'm not a person who throws up--I've puked exactly 2 times in the last 18-20 years or so, both within the last couple years, and both due to food poisoning, I believe. So, I'm interestedly waiting to see if pregnancy turns me into a puker or not--I'm hoping my good record holds! :
