What, if any are your pregnancy symptoms? - Page 2

[Faerieshadow]

Ok... my boobs have already gotten bigger and just ache all the time. Past few days I've been getting lightheaded easily, hungry more often, but nausea keeps creeping up. I can feel my uterus, it feels very heavy in there and I can feel "things" happening. And, I'm bloated. AF isn't even due for another couple days... sigh. With DS the morning sickness didn't hit heavily until right at 6 weeks, so hopefully I can make it that long this time without it.

***groan*** I do not recall EVER being this ill ,this early with any of my other kids~~~
and how is it possible to be exhausted and have insomnia at the same time???
...but i keep reminding myself all these symptoms are good right??? it means the hormones are doing there thing and the little one is settling in and makinghim/herself at home....right?? right???
it's going to be a loooong 1st trimester at this rate....

(((but i love it....)))

I am like that too! Exhausted, but with insomnia. Maybe it is the prenatal vitamin in the evening that keeps me up? I have to take three a day. Otherwise, I'm having to pee all night long! It never hits me until the evening. Still, I'm delighted to be in this predicament!

My pre-pregnancy jeans don't fit anymore,
I almost started crying during Signing Time,
bloating, gas, that full heavy feeling, dizzy, exhausted.
No ms yet but I know it is probably coming soon.

My first "symptom" (clue, really) is in my sig. I've been checking my chart multiple times a day (why? it's not like it's going to spontaneously change ) ever since it went triphasic. I've also been a little queasy here and there, and for the past three days have had some weird tummy thing going on. It doesn't feel like normal nausea, but I just feel BLECH and it only gets worse and I start really hurting unless I eat pretty regularly. My boobs have also had some sharp twinges here and there, but they don't actively hurt, and they certainly haven't gotten any bigger yet. I'd like to completely fill out my B cup now, please.

[nhapmom]

woudl anyone like MORE symptoms? i mean, come on..im pregnant!!! other than achy boobies and peeing more, im not feeling much! i am starting to wake earlier though.

[leurMaman]

Yep - I would like more symptoms I never get much morning sickness - just twinges of nausea further into the first trimester. Sometimes I wish that I felt it more strongly just to connect with it. Latlely, though, I feel a pulse in my womb that is comforting.

So, I fell asleep during the Super Bowl! That's a new one for me.

[lasciate]

-nausea
-insomnia
-exhaustion
-cramping
-sore breasts
-hyperemotional

I have more pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks than I had at 15 weeks with my first. Feels weird.

[birthdancedoula]

Aside from these (I know, I am slightly POAS obsessed, LOL) I've been experiencing the following...

the need to pee every hour
insomnia at about 0430 every morning for the past week
complete exhaustion
tender breasts
that hungry but too queasy to even think about food feeling
emotional- I almost broke down taking care of a new mama and babe at work the other night
crazy, intense mood swings
nausea- I had hyperemesis w/ DS3 so I'mkeeping my fingers crossed it won't be so bad this time

I haven't had too many symptoms. I had regular PMS symptoms, but when my expected menstrual days came and went, my symptoms went away. I HAD very mild cramping, sore breasts, fatigue - all the usual. Now I have nothing except slow digestion. I get full quickly, constipation, and indigestion w/ occasional reflux and burping. Even though I've been eating TONS of fiber, and drinking a lot of water, I am still constipated. My bowl movements haven't amounted to much. If I feel around in my breasts, I can feel some sore areas that I don't notice otherwise during the day. And, there's been a small increase in CM too. Occasionally I feel my uterus cramping a tiny bit, especially when I am doing some rather physical tasks. I have noticed, I think, that I do have more energy. Instead of sleeping in on the weekend, I get up pretty early. My basal body temperature has been consistently elevated, but I haven't felt a difference of being warmer.

What is interesting is, I woke up on my day of ovulation knowing that it was imminent. I felt the hormones surging, and I just felt very feminine. I also felt pain on one side as if I actually felt the egg erupt from the ovary. The following day, I had an overwhelming sense of contentment. I knew I was pregnant. I even think I felt the fertilized egg implant, even though I read that the uterine wall cannot sense pain. :

The day I tested, I was not surprised, even though I had all my regular PMS symptoms. But now, I feel that my sense of awareness is in the dark, not knowing or feeling what's going on in my body. I don't feel as if I have pregnancy hormones that are making me emotional. I feel very content and mellow.

I've been eating exceptionally well, to the best of my knowledge. Maybe that is what is causing my pregnancy symptoms to remain at bay.

The lack of symptoms was worrying me a bit, but now I realize that it is definitely not uncommon for women to have very little symptoms, or for symptoms to arrive later.

If anyone's interested, I started a blog last week in the "I'm Pregnant" category. I called it "When did you feel like you were really pregnant?"

I am so glad I'm not the only one. I have 7 positive HPts from 11DPO to 16DPO. They are so pretty. :

Here's one the first-time moms won't be lucky enough to experience yet: Round ligament pain. I've had it off and on all day today and it suuuuucks.

Does round ligament pain come sooner second time around? Not there yet.

What tipped me off? Spotting mid cycle on one bathroom trip. I never spot mid cycle. And my nipples got really sensitive the day before that. Not the whole breast yet, just the nipples. Nursing my toddler is really uncomfortable. It's normal for me 2 or 3 days before my period, but after 2 weeks non stop I took a test. I took a picture because I couldn't quite believe it. There WERE 2 lines! Yay!!! Now I have the constant need to pee and the unexplainable moments of shortness of breath. I'm nervous, though. All day sickness kicked in at 6 wks with dd. That's only a few more days.

I don't know that it came sooner for me the second time around but this is the first time I've had it so early. I'm on baby #5.

I had a "pregancy familiar" bought with nasuea yesterday which also prompt me to test today and I'm tired and just kinda feel pregnant..

[allfrog68]

Only symptom so far is residual leg cramps. Before DD I hadn't had a leg cramp since high school. I had them really bad when I was pregnant w/ DD. The other day I woke up w/ the pain that I had one.

Anyone else have these? Do you know why they happen and how to remedy them? They were REALLY bad w/ No. 1.

For me, the only thing that took care of them was a liquid calcium/magnesium supplement and eating a banana every day (for the potassium).
