So- how are we feeling?

[LCB]

I've got some major bloat going on. Like, I'm only 4 weeks and my pants (that fit perfect before Christmas) are now tight. Anyone else having...well, the opposite of constipation? These hormones seem to be moving everything right along! And the twinges! I feel like I've got someone in there bouncing around. What about you?

[rachel_eva]

i'm a little bloated, and a little "crampy". but mostly go between extreme sleepiness and insomnia

[meredyth0315]

LCB I'm with you mama. I'm so poofy today I'm actually wearing a maternity top! But that's okay, it keeps 'em guessing as I haven't told anyone at work and nobody would dare ask why I look so fat :lol

rachel_eva I can relate to the sleep/non sleep patterns, too. About 3:00 I'm ready to just fall asleep where I'm standing, but I'm surely up at 1:00AM watching the Disney Channel or Food Network :D

Wishing you guys a H&H9M!!!

Uh, yeah. It sucks. I thought it was cramping, but nope- just gas. :o

Also bloated and having the sleep/ non-sleep issues, too. I had some spotting last night, but it seems to be gone now.

I've been a bit gassy and bloated the last day or so. :o

I've been having some discharge. Not colored or scary, but always makes me feel like I"ve started AF or somethign and then when I check- nada. I guess I"m still a little in awe of the whole "preganant again" thing. My youngest is only 11 mo and even though we were "trying" I'm still a little shocked. With dd1 we got preggo right away but with dd2 it took 9 months of trying.... anyway.... sorry to hijack :innocent

That happened to me, too. I had a sudden cramping that really hurt, and it worried me... although I was pretty sure it was too high location wise to be really concerning. But once I made a long trip to the bathroom, I was fine. :o I chalked it up to some carbonated juice I drank (only thing "different" I'd had to eat or drink), but now I'm thinking maybe it is just pg related, after all!

I've got the typical sore breasts, and a lot of pregnancy dreams. I also "popped" like as soon as I got my BFP.

Already feeling:

:Puke

(just looking for an excuse to use that!)

I'm tired, cranky, and nauseated. And only 4.5 weeks. Geesh. Plus my boobs are ouchy.

I've started my PG suppliment routine:

- Cal/Mag to help me sleep (I get restless legs)
- Floradix for iron + energy (I think it helps my mood also...)
- Milk Thistle & Ginger for nausea
- Omega's for mood
- Green Tea in the morning for energy

Hopefully this little routine will get me through these first few months!

I'm feeling bloated and crampy, but i am thanking the lord i am not feeling nauseated yet. My boobs are pretty sore and much bigger- but i am feeling pretty dang normal other than that.

I have been having some pretty intense pains in the evening for the past week, but they only come around 7 pm and last for maybe an hour. Most of the time it is on my lower right side, but sometimes it switches to my left. I am not that concerned only b/c it is not constant, and i do nto get them every night. I am hoping to be at the Dr. by the end of this week to get it checked out. Anyone else have pain like this? I am trying SO hard not to worry....

[barefootpoetry]

Vaguely crappy and fat. :lol I haven't had full-blown morning sickness yet, sometimes I feel like I could throw up if I wanted to, but of course I quickly suppress that. I felt much worse before I started taking my prenatals before bed instead of in the morning, so since I switched I feel a lot better now. I'm also extremely lethargic and have a hard time getting motivated to do much of anything.

[pauletoy]

I am actually feeling good. Knock on wood. I have to pee alot and I mean a lot but it's just a part of being pg.

I am praying that the dreaded morning sickness stays away.

Hello :)

well im feeling very bloated a bit sick on and off and the tiredness comes and goes a bit moody today and havening some ingestion.but what really bothering me is im really worried about losing the baby and im finding it so hard to get that out of my head i cant wait on till im 3 months and can relax a little i cant seem to even think forward at all don't even want to tell any one or ring the hospital for an appointment even though i will have to as i had gd with my last pregnancy's so ill need to Ive checked for it straight away.

I think its coming from the fact i lost a baby after a faint positive in between my 1st and second son i have retested and the line has got darker but i want it to be really dark i know im driving my self nuts i know you can have faint bfp and the baby is fine read all the info on peeonastick it was very good and i posted a question on it and all the girls were great.
im going to the doctor tomorrow to get a blood test may be that will help with my fear

sorry about going on haven't got any one else to talk to well have my dh but don't want to have him worrying about me and baby already.

thanks Niamh

My boobs hurt, I'm nauseous all the time, and I'm ridiculously tired. Like, if I stand up I feel weak. :( At least I'm not actually puking, but ugh. It gets a lot worse when I'm riding in a car, too.

[elisheva]

I'm just tired and acutely aware of my uterus. One of my nipples is tender, but that could just be because DS bit me in his sleep the other night (clamped down - hard).

I keep going back to look at the two tests and their faint lines. I have another FRER that I will try to save for Friday just to see the amazing contrast in lines between 11 DPO (yesterday) and 15 DPO.
