I'm so glad to hear so many others say this too. I was beginning to think something was wrong. It's not bad, just different. But I don't remember this happening with my first.

I'm having moments of nausea. Usually if I wait too long to eat, or an hour or so after I eat. I keep waiting for the "all day sickness" I had last time, but maybe I won't get that this time. : I also have moments of superhuman smell. But again not constant like before.

But I have to pee all the time, I'm cranky and irritable and supersensitive. I get tired really easily. Often fall asleep while nursing dd to sleep. But if she wakes me up during the night, insomnia kicks in. Usually at least an hour or two before I get back to sleep.

I also have the constipation and gas and intermittent cramping low in the pelvis. Funny, I can usually distinguish whether it's a gas cramp or a growing uterus cramp. I like the growing uterus cramp! That means growing baby!! The gas, I could do without.

Overall, this pregnancy feels a lot different than the first. I know that most are different, but it's a bit strange to me that every thing seems milder. I hope that's not a bad sign. Oh yeah. I'm also a little paranoid.

ok i am going crazy. All day i say i am going to take a nap and never do. then comes bed time and i can't sleep i wake up every two hours. i wish i could just sleep i feel so tired but just can't get comfortable.

[octobermom]

I'm sooo tired but were all getting over the flu so it might be from that. I have to pee like 4,000 times a day and all meat tastes like metal.. but just meat. I'v ehad small boughts with nasusea but nothing too bad yet.

I'm beginning to wonder if this headache I've had for a week is a pregnancy symptom. UGH! I hope it's not a permanant thing.

[TaraRae82]

^I had a headache last night when we went to bed and I'm blaming it on the pregnancy. I rarely get headaches. It's very abnormal for me. I've got terrible gas pains today. Ugh. I feel just absolutely *blah* today.

[EllasMummy]

My symptoms are

Near constant peeing
Near constant thirst
Nausea - not actually been sick yet, that doesnt normally kick in till 6/7 weeks
Heightened sense of smell
Exhausted but not able to sleep - Sooo frustrating!
Constipation
Sore nipples - breasts are ok its just the nipples

Now I have to go pee again and its only been about 20 minutes!!!

Yes! I noticed this a few days before I got my BFP! It's gotten a little stronger since then. I remember reading a post somwhere where the mama said "she smelled pregnant" before her BFP. So you're not alone!

I sit here tonight, feeling a little queasy - not full out nauseated, but just blechy in the tummy area, you know? I can't decide if it's maybe morning sickness starting, or if it's the potentially ill-advised Pizza Hut we had for dinner. :

Oh! There it is! Definitely earlier than the first time. 6w6d. I wonder, though, if it's really earlier, or if I just recognize it this time? I've felt that lovely stabbing pain 2 or 3 times today. I sure am glad I know what it is.

A new, lovely symptiom for the week (besides this wonderful MS that has hit full-on)...greasy hair. It is the grossest thing ever and no matter how much I wash it, it just gets worse.

[TaraRae82]

^OMG! Is that really a sign!? I just thought it was because DH is forever combing my hair with his fingers when we're on the couch! It's rediculous! Thank goodness I live in ponytails!

me too - for a while now - my skin is similarly affected! i've never had so many zits!!

[elspethshimon]

I've had really bad gas. Better today because I ate bland food, but last night was awful.

[zazamada]

I'm 4 weeks and so far, just mild nausea in the evening, very mild heartburn occasionally and some crampy, lower belly (making room for baby) feelings. I keep hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones who doesn't get MS, but from what I read, it looks like I have a week or 2 to gorge myself on flavorful, odorous foods. Also yesterday, after going to the farmers' market, I thought I would pass out from exhaustion.

I was starting to worry that I didn't have any symptoms (no complaints), but after typing this I guess I do have mild symptoms. Here's to hoping it stays that way! Can you tell I'm a first time mom??

[zoebugsmom]

I've been nauseous, tired and a bit grumpy. My boobs are incredibly sore and ds does not understand why I get grumpy when he jumps on them or pushes on them to get my attention.

[elspethshimon]

I'm also feeling kind of bloated.

[Amber Lion]

Ah, the list is growing..

Heightened sense of smell
Constant peeing
Ravenous, although today I was a bit less so and had to force some of my food...
And today also first time feeling a bit queasy, guess m/s is on it's way!
General grumpiness blah feeling
Off and on mild cramping
GAS!
And my left boob has gotten bigger and the areola darker... but my right is making no signs of catching up! It's pretty funny, I'm totally lopsided!

Oh, these remind me. I've had the heightened sense of smell for about a week or more but it comes and goes. The best was when I thought I had a brain tumor because I could smell the new scented kitty litter from three rooms away.

And my boobs *seem* a bit fuller, but I'm still not certain.

Yup. This was me two weeks ago. Now, I am carefully considering everything I put in my mouth, in hopes that it won't make me gag. I say this not to scare you, mind, but because I was just as concerned about not having symptoms. Now, I'd like them to go away a little bit please.

I still would like to put in my order for fuller/bigger boobs. Typically, I'm more than perfectly fine with being on the small size (I wear a "nearly" b, how cute ) but if I can have bigger ones for a bit that would be good too.
