do symptoms come and go?

[songbird45]

I'm totally freaked out because I have my energy back this evening and all the nausea is gone. Please, someone tell me that this is normal...

[mamaveggie]

For me they do. It changes for me from hour to hour. I was running around cleaning the house this morning feeling great and energized and as soon as I sat down with my dds I fell asleep. Try not to worry yourself too much, easier said than done I know. I still feel like my period is going to start any minute now and I keep running inot the bathroom to check.

I kind of wondered the same thing. Last time my symptoms were constant from right after I woke up until about 7 pm when they at least got a bit better. After a week of being really sick, today was better. I was still sick but it wasn't as bad and I could at least function. I'm torn between worrying something is wrong (I know it isn't likely) and being happy to feel better.

I was just reading my journal from when I was pregnant with my first, and I definitely had days where I freaked out because I felt completely normal again all of a sudden. It's sad how we freak out when we don't feel sick for a moment instead of enjoying it, but that's how I am too!

Mine do. I'm a little freaked out because I have barely any symptoms at all.

I am 4w1d today, and my symptoms have been coming and going since I got my BFP. I think it is totally normal at this stage for them to come and go. I remember the same thing happening when I was pg with my dd. We just have to relax and enjoy being pg, but I know that's easier said than done.

I'm six weeks today, and my nausea and everything is back. It sucks to feel sick, but I freak out when I don't feel sick! My first ultrasound is this Wednesday, and I am hoping I can relax a bit once I see what's going on in there. Although I know anything *can* happen, even after the first trimester, for most people *nothing does* and there's nothing I can do about it anyway, right?

My symptoms absolutely come and go! THis weekend, I felt pretty good, just a little hungry. I woke up this morning around 7, and have been so tired I'm just laying on the couch taking naps and eating little snacks, I feel like I pulled an all-nighter twice in a row or something!

i've started patterning after my last 2 pregnancies where i distincly remember having a pattern of one good day one bad day and so on. not sure why that is, but at this early stage i'll take what i can get!

Totally normal to have symptoms come and go! Enjoy when you are feeling good and make someone give you a foot rub when you are not

This is my first pregnancy, but my guess would be that that's pretty normal. I mean, with anything, your symptoms can vary from day to day and hour to hour, and it makes sense that at some points you'll be better rested/have eaten the magical right thing/whatever to make you feel good. I think it's probably healthiest to try not to stress too much....but I know it's hard. I've been vaguely worried about the vague but consistent crampy feelings I've been having. (But honestly, I kind of think they're gas. )

FWIW, I had almost constant cramping from 4 DPO to 15 weeks pregnant and I now have a happy healthy 16 month old to show for it. No cramps with this pregnancy though...that was actually one of the reasons I refused to believe I was pregnant for the first few days.

This is me exactly! Of course combined with some brown spotting I am imagining the worst. I have been eating eggs in the morning the last few days and I think the protein may be helping with the morning sickness.

Do you know *why* people cramp during pregnancy? I'm curious (and may google it) but I wondered if any of you could fill me in.

It's reassuring, however, to know that I am not the only one with this frequent, constant cramping. It's very mild, but very frequently there. (I had a massage today, and it seems to have settled down a bit since then. Added bonus of massage? )

I have had so much energy today that it really scared me! I'm complaining when I'm exhausted but then worried when I actually feel pretty good. I annoy myself!

Apparently it has to do with the uterine muscles starting to relax in preparation for stretching out.

I have been wondering this as well, I am looking at it more like stretching/pulling, not cramping?

I'm like that right now only with my energy level. I seem to have one normal day and then one day where I'm just exhausted. Maybe I'm over-doing it on the good days.

My symptoms fluctuate a lot even within the day. The roast that made my mouth water at lunch just about did me in when I caught a whiff of it this evening!
