What Sypmtoms are you having?

[Angierae]

My two major symptoms so far are extreme fatigue and cramping. Both of which I dislike (although I am thrilled to be experiencing them). I could sleep all day. And the cramping is annoying. It feels so much like AF that I feel slightly ansty all the time. I was assured with my last pregnancy that it was normal, even good, but its hard not to keep checking for bleeding.

How are you ladies feeling?

[mothragirl]

all day sickness, cramping, and hip pain at night.

[wife&mommy]

lots of cramps for over a week and i just got my bfp yesterday. i am tired too, and waking up more at night already! it's hard to get back to sleep. and I'm NOT complaining! LOL :)

[genx77]

My cramping is finally starting to subside; it’s only happing occasionally now. My nipples are sensitive and I’m super tired but find it hard to sleep.

[kirk_heidi]

I am sooooooooooooooooo tired. I also have round ligament pain. That is it so far.

[mama_b]

I'm tired, it's starting to hurt when I nurse dd, and I'm losing bladder control :bag:. I'm not complaining though. In my last pregnancy that ended in miscarriage I had no symptoms at all. It sounds weird, but I keep hoping for nausea so that I know that this pregnancy is actually real.

[weliveintheforest]

I'm so tired, and crampy. Occasionally if I move to fast or sneeze my ligaments will hurt!
I feel generally unwell most of the day, but I am taking it easy.

[julichris]

I'm so happy to hear that you all are experiencing the same things I am. I thought for sure something was wrong. I've been achey/crampy and my lower back is killing me...sometimes it aches so strong, I feel it in my feet. I'm taking it easy, but it's just so nagging.
I'm not tired or nauseous yet, but I do have trouble sleeping at night. I keep waking up between 4:30 and 5:30am and cannot go back to sleep. Today I actually slept until 6:30am.
My boobs are getting more sore every day, and I think they're slightly larger...hard to tell, they're big as it is. LOL
But I like what weliveintheforest said...I feel generally unwell most of the day. That's how I feel.
By the way....lol....I'm Juli, brand new here, finally pg after 2 years of trying. That's the short version. :)

[Angierae]

The cramping seems to be going away already! Now I am tender and my brests just got huge today. The bra that fit this morning is way too small tonight!

[Sihaya]

I've been having symptoms of some sort for a couple of weeks it feels like. Right now the worst ones are sore giant boobs, nausea (but no puking yet), cramping, and fatigue.

[~MoonGypsy~]

I've got tender balloon boobies here too. :lol
My bladder seems to be a little more spastic than usual and every once in a while a touch of nausea.

I didn't find out I was pregnant with #1 for another couple weeks (he was a BCP surprise :love) and he was a super easy pregnancy so I'm assuming this is normal.

[kirk_heidi]

I have now started getting cramps and bloating. The nasuea is still pretty mild but who knows.

[GinaRae]

I am 6 weeks 2 days so the cramping and lower back pain has gone away (whew!) but the m/s has picked up and I need to eat fairly regularly.

My breasts are the WORST! So sore. I went through a spell of extra saliva even. I am taking Nux Vomica for indigestion, nausea and constipation.

And tired. Oh so tired. I swear I have taken two hour naps every day. Once my mom goes home I won't have that luxury!

At first I was also very weepy and grumpy, but most of that's chilled, thank goodness.

[lesliesara63]

I'm just gassy & bloated right now. And my boobs are really sore. A bit tired but not as much as I was expecting. I'm more tired in general these days, than when I had dd so maybe I just don't notice as much.

[weliveintheforest]

M/S has picked up and I feel so sick. I also have such sore breasts and nipples and my lower back is killing me.
I just want t sleep through this first tri!

[julichris]

I'm just now having my first touches of nausea. I'm still spotting (or call it brown discharge) so I went in for another beta and progesterone check this morning. I should know something in the next few hours. All of a sudden, I'm yawning...guess I'll go take a nap.

[moderngal]

I forgot how miserable pregnancy is... I had hyperemesis with DS and am on the way there now. I'm on Zofran again and it helps a little, but I still throw up in the morning and feel awful most of the rest of the time. :(
I'm also exhausted. And my every once and awhile it hurts while nursing my son.

[Pohuehue]

Just lots of gas and sore nipples! :lol
Good luck to all of you!

[kirk_heidi]

Just lots of gas and sore nipples! :lol
Good luck to all of you!

Man, you are lucky! I have bad gas all the time.:duck: My husband says he needs to go live somewhere else
.:loveeyes:

[HappyFox05]

The gas has gone away, nipples are still sore, and there's still minor abdominal aching (it's gotten too mild for me to call it cramping). No M/S yet, and Mom says she never had any, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I prefer not puking to puking. :D

B.

[Amandamarie]

My symptoms are gassy, crampy, a little bloated, sleepy, no m/s yet but too early yet. I had HG with my dd, so I'm hoping this pregnancy will be very different.

[julichris]

Well, today I had my first MAJOR bout with nausea. I'm a teacher, and I was standing in the hall with the kids waiting for our turn to go into the lunchroom. I was SO hungry...big mistake. It was all I could do to keep myself from gagging, and as soon as I sat down I was shoveling the corn in my mouth. I felt better in an instant.
My boobs are the sorest they have been, and a few minutes ago when I let them out of the bra, I realized my nipples are sore.
I'm really pregnant...I really, really am.

[Quindin]

Headache, exhaustion and some nausea.. The headache is similar to the headache I had when I was taking progesterone pills for my 3rd pregnancy - good sign maybe? :D Oh, and the moisture down there has changed and I have been going to the loo more often

I am a little worried with the fact that I don't have any boob pain yet, but it was the same last time around.

[mama2rey]

Sore giant breasts-I bought a bra today, and I have gone from a 36C to a 38D.
Dizzyness
Cramping
Bloating
constipation
indigestion

I started to feel a little nausea today-but it's mostly dizziness that goes away if I eat something.

[noah's mom]

I'm just 5wks, so not much yet - I've had general crampiness for a week or so. Boobs are a little sensitive but that could also be b/c DS is working on 2-year molars and wants to comfort-nurse constantly! Bouts of hunger, esp. in the morning.

I am hoping for stronger symptoms this time around (I know, I know, be careful what you wish for...) - but last time I had barely any symptoms and the pg didn't stick...

[julichris]

Sore nipples now, and I wore an old "big" bra yesterday...34D to a 36E (guess my boobs really are growing).
I'm super sensitive to getting too hot...I feel all wonky if I get overheated.

[chann96]

I have this near-constant queasiness going on. Strange because I never had that with my daughter. I have a hair-trigger over-filled stomach though which I had with my daughter. If I eat even one bite too much food I feel really sick and ready to vomit. That was the only time I threw up with my daughter. This quesiness really makes it hard for me to do anything though.

I am also exhausted and have ginormous boobs. They were huge before, but man o man they've grown.

I'm 6.5 weeks now.

[zjande]

At this point in my other pregnancies I had 80 million symptoms so it's weird that this time I've got just some ligament stretching cramps, queasiness now & then, and I'm suuper sleepy at weird times (but I'm not even sure how much of that is pg related & how much is adjusting to the time difference now that we're back from Europe & a 9 hour difference). But that's it! I get excited when I feel anything because it reminds me that this is really happening.

ETA: Oh duh, and my appetite. That's my biggest symptom, my appetite is monstrous!

[julichris]

Only thing I feel today are my sore boobs and tender nipples. I don't have heightened sense of smell, food cravings/aversions, or any of the other things I expected to have as a first time pregger. I have yet to puke...just a little nausea here and there. I'm just past 7wks. Shouldn't I be experiencing more pg symptoms by now?
I have my first u/s tomorrow and I really don't know what to expect. A little nervous, I must say. I already had one bad dream about it.

[GearGirl]

juliechris,

I never threw up during my first pregnancy or my second (and I doubt I will with this one). I had bouts of feeling a bit queasy, but that's it. It's definitely normal!

[hpienkos]

Glad to hear that I am not the only one going through these sympotms! I love this board! Okay here is what I have:

gas
bloated-pants are getting tight already!!!
cramping
breast have already grown-bras no longer fit me!!!

[Nitenites]

Julichris, I've never had morning sickness. And this is my fourth pregnancy.

My symptoms are gas & bloating, moodiness, and I'm sooo sleepy!! I'm just such a joy to be around. Poor DH! :lol

During my other pregnancies, I was getting up to pee at night in the first trimester. (In fact, that was usually my first clue that I was preg.) Either I'm just not having that symptom this time, or I've finally gotten smart enough to pee right before bed! :shrug Anyone else having middle-of-the-night pee issues? :loveeyes:

[Shachar613]

Yes!! That's me! I feel like I pee a hundred times a day and then at least twice at night. (Maybe more than that but I'm so tired, I can't remember!)

[Katfka]

Big fight with DH out of nowhere (we aren't really fighters.)
Weight gain/bloatiness
Gas. :bag:
Urinating A Lot.
Breastmilk supply has gone down.
Breasts irritation.
Change of vaginal fluids.
Acne. Blah.
Sense of smell increased 10fold.
Lots of very vivid dreams.
Small headaches.

[mama_b]

I feel like I have the flu. :fever:

I'm queasy/nauseous all day long but I also feel STARVING. It's really strange.

I have gas.

My armpits smell BAD. I have to wash them like 3 times a day. :bag:

I'm tired.

I have some cramping.

Lots of food aversions.

VERY VERY thirsty. I wake up feeling miserable every morning from dehydration. I think I need IV fluids while I sleep. :lol

[miss_nikki]

I'm about 7 weeks right now and the worst things I've been experiencing have been all day nausea, fatigue, and having to pee all seemingly all the time. I normally don't wake up to pee in the middle of the night but now I'm getting up 2-3 times in the night.

[noah's mom]

Yup, that's the latest of my symptoms - I'm drinking less water than usual at night yet needing to get up at least once to pee.

Plus, my belly is getting a little poochy and I'm having a hard time fitting into my pants (and I've only gained 1/2 a pound!)

[cmu204]

Itchy, itchy boobs! Seriously: they are driving me mad.
Gas :o
Midnight bathroom runs (At least 2/night)
Weird crampiness in my lower abdomen
Old pants are too tight, new (maternity) pants are too big!:irked:
Queasy, but never actually throwing up. This is mostly resolved by eating something (ugh.)
(TMI) Less frequent BMs - I used to be a 1x/day girl, now it's every two-three days. Again, ugh.

C.M.
Absolutely dying to get to my first OB appt. - still have to wait a week!

[Mewsin]

I have nothing. I keep looking at the tests to make sure they are still postive. I'm not complaining.

[Quindin]

Oh boy.. morning sickness is getting worse by the minute (I have a bucket next to me, because I am afraid I won't make it to the bathroom!) And the headache is also terrible! I know these are great signs and I am happy about it, but it is tough at the same time.

I think I will have to teach the kids in the afternoons from now on ... I can't function in the morning anymore.
Oh, and I am also EXHAUSTED! I could have fallen asleep while going for a walk yesterday! :lol:

ETA - No breast changes

[cravenab00]

crampy, achy feeling, round ligament pain if I try to roll over to fast in bed, or get up too fast. HORRIBLY sore boobs. I fluctuate between total exhaustion, and insomnia.
funny taste in my mouth, and extra saliva.
that and I want FOOD! :lol
before I knew i was pregnant, i went to the store, and I bought 2 differnt kinds of brownies, doritos, and strawberry oreos. I thought it was PMS. :wink
I have just a tad of nausea, between 10 and 1 every day, not sure why that time frame.
With my first, a boy, I had NO symptoms. With my second, a girl, i had AWFUL morning sickness, with my 3rd, a boy, very few symptoms, with my 4th AWFUL M/S again, I thought for sure it wouldbe a girl, NOPE, a boy, lol
Im already wondering about the sex. Im hoping for pink :D

[zjande]

Can I just say one thing?
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPY!!! !!!!!

:zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz

uG.

[Elsaraw]

Hi! This is my first post... I've got to say I love all of you because you've helped me so much lately.. been so worried about everything - first baby :love (due Dec. 20th)
I've been having all the same symptoms but plus one that troubles me. I keep, involuntarily, sucking in my belly all the time. Like when you're trying to fit into pants that are to tight. Sometimes this happens hundreds of times a day and it hurts a bit. Years ago I had an ovarian cyst and I did that then too, I think it's my bodies way of reacting to something "foreign" in there ??? If anyone has any ideas/advise please bring it on !

Thank you again :)

[HappyFox05]

I'm in week 8 and I've developed a weird taste in my mouth and am alternately craving salty foods or thirsty. Developed a huge craving for kim chee yesterday (didn't follow through on that) and then this morning suddenly thought, "I really really need some tomato soup right now". I don't know if any of this has to do with the incredible jet lag of flying to Korea & changing the body clock by 14 hours or not. :)

[christine1977]

All I can really say is sore nipples. Not sore "BOOBS" just the nipples and it's not constant either.

I'm not complaining though, didn't have this for my last 2 pregnancies (failed).

:)

Today marks 4weeks3days for me

[kbuglove]

8 weeks tomorrow...
and had a very hard and trying past couple of weeks.
Sick morning, afternoon, and through the night. Throwing up all the time!!!
A little belching too, of tiny air bubbles that feel good to get out.
Canker sores in mouth and chapped lips.
Burning sour stomach constantly,
slight headaches,
very tired.
And quite emotional, sadly mostly cranky.
Yucky sour taste in mouth.

Counting days till the nausea settles and I can feel as happy as I am about the pregnancy.
In the meantime, I just pray for a single hour of relief, and take it minutes at a time.

[kittywitty]

OMG I feel like I am about to die!!!

Seriously!

I am so tired I can barely stand up, I have cramps, I am faintish and feel about to pass out. I am quesy, but no "puking" and I have no appetite but I am constantly starving.

My first two dc I didn't have ANY symptoms at all. With my youngest, it was like this but not as bad. Am I just getting old?:lol

[Mom2Wilmo]

I have had very little problem so far. My nose has been stuffed up at night though that is diminishing and I have had to pee in the middle of the night. That's about it. I know I'm only 5 weeks but lack of symptoms is starting to worry me...

[julichris]

I'm 8 weeks today and the real pregnancy symptoms are just now starting to hit me. I've had a few major issues with nausea, but I have yet to puke. I need to eat first thing in the morning or I'm not good at all...shaky, nauseous, etc. Yesterday I got heartburn. Today I thought I would puke at the smell, then the sight, of broccoli. I can't eat anything sweet, I am craving carbs, thristy a lot. What gave me heartburn yesterday was DELICIOUS...today, I didn't like it at all. I'm hungry a lot, but nothing looks good. And my lower back feels like it has a pinch in it.
Today I'm crampy...about the time for my 2nd missed period, so I expected it. I love feeling these things though...I need to be reminded that I'm pregnant because it's still so hard to believe.
BUT - I was also worried about the lack of symptoms up until now. All I had were sore boobs really. So, you 5-weekers....just wait. :) Fatigue didn't really even set in with me until this past week.

[Lizzardbits]

Anyone know how to put a forcefield around my painful breasts?!
I also have the seven dwarves visiting me: Sleepy, Pukey, Cravey, Grumpy, Achey, Lazy, and Leg Crampy

[christine1977]

All I can really say is sore nipples. Not sore "BOOBS" just the nipples and it's not constant either.

I'm not complaining though, didn't have this for my last 2 pregnancies (failed).

:)

Today marks 4weeks3days for me



update for me at 4 weeks 5 days - cramping has set in.
nipples still sore
odd headache
not very fatigued
canker sore in mouth now gone ( i think that "fever blister" as more from a cold)
yeast infection almost gone (also i think from the amoxicillin from the cold)

[penquinmom]

The fatigue started earlier this week and I have had waves of nausea almost from the time of conception, but NOTHING compared to the M/S I had last time. I also have balloon boobies that are tender.
I did have the achy pully sensation of the uterus but that seems to be mostly gone now.
And I swear that preggo brain has already set in!! Is that possible??

[wannalilcountry]

I am having the usual, motion sick, headaches like every day, so so tired... and lets not forget the ever increasing bloating of my tummy tum tum...

[mamablueberry]

My symptoms are: Crazy, delightfully vivd dreams, big puffy belly..I feel huge and I am only 5 weeks 4days..time to make some cute comfy summer skirts. I was hungry all the time, now I feel hungry but nothing tastes good to me, but if Ilet it go too long I get queezy.
I am graduating from college on the 20th and I really hope I will make it through the ceremony without :Puke I had crazy morning sickness with my dd that started before the BFP. maybe I will be lucky this time.
I also have been having hot flashes and I am super thirsty all the time.

[Brees_Mama]

fatigue, my belly is already bigger, LOL, cravings, MAJOR mood swings, preggie brain, insomnia, hot flashes (eek!), have to eat/pee every 15min :lol , and nausea, some morning sickness. I'm 6wks, 2 days, WOOHOO!

[crsta33]

How in the world I got to almost 8 weeks without realizing I was pg is beyond me...especially in light of all my "symptoms"

Sore nipples, less milk supply, exhaustion, headache, mild dizziness (esp if haven't eaten in a while), lot's of peeing, technicolor dreams, anxiety (about life, my other kids, etc), desire to be close to my mom, annoyed with dh, irritable, feeling animosity towards the dog (was same with ds's pg), frequent waking, insomnia.

I have been changing my diet...less sugar, more water, thinking my blood sugar was wonky (believing the hype that a previous big baby leads to diabetes). I was also trying to monitor my intake b/c ds is weaning and I didn't want to gain b/c I was still eating like I was breastfeeding.

I'm still in shock...I'm *so* pg, and I didn't even know it.

Christa

[raspberrymoondoula]

i started with cramps which have now turned into round ligament pain. queasy but not too bad, a little dizzy now and then. i go back and forth between STARVING and not wanting ot even look at food. i've got wicked dnadruff all of a sudden and my leg hai is growing really fast. ii've got major increased sense of smell too which drives my husband insane cuz HE smells and he cant smell it lol i sweat a lot more too. blicky. and my pants already dont fit. i've also got the typical tired, sore boobs, etc.
