Anyone having symptoms already? I sure don't remember this with my first DS, but I'm having to pee a lot more and my breasts are tender. I'm also getting mild headaches everyday about the same time, but it doesn't last too long...thank goodness.

Everyone else doing ok otherwise?

-Kate- :)

No symptoms yet for me, other than a little cramping here and there! We are camping this weekend and I don't want to feel miserable for that so I'm glad I still feel good.

Nevermind.

I am definitely having symptoms already, specifically itchy nipples and really tender breasts. Nothing unbearable, but I am certainly noticing it.

With E, those were my first symptoms too. I managed to get through my last pregnancy with very little morning sickness. I hope I get as lucky this time around. I HATE being sick.

Being my first one, I can't tell what i'm feeling! hahaha, I am looking for symptoms but nothing yet really, just peeing about twice a night. My lower back on the right side has been tight and slightly sore, I will ask the doc what this means when I see her in 2 days,
Just wondering if any one else has had this?

I'm on progesterone supplements started soon after O, so I've been feeling "symptoms" for days. Sore boobs, dizziness, fatigue...lots of fun.

With my ds, I got the sore boobs at about 12dpo (wasn't charting then) and the tired/dizzy/starving/peeing constantly symptoms soon after.

What form and dosage progest do you take? I'm going to a naturopath and she just called my progest rx in today (lozenges 100mg). My progest levels were 10 at about 3 1/2 wks. I hope everything will be ok. I have to go back to get tested again this Friday.

Do you ever go to a chiro for back pain? I have the same kind of pain, but I think something's just out of whack for me :o.

Hope you feel better soon...Kate

My OB has me on oral progesterone, 100mg 3x a day. It's actually a bit of a precautionary, stop-gap sort of thing...with the 3 chemicals I've had in the last year, she didn't want to just do nothing, but she can't get me in for any appointment until next month, she's booked so solid. So...this was a "well, it can't hurt, and it might just be why you're having problems, so let's try it" prescription. :o I'll be POAS at home again tomorrow morning, and as long as it's still + (:fingersx:), I'll go for bloodwork at the lab on Wed. and my OB'll call me to tell me what we'll be doing from there.

ETA: It didn't work. So...I guess it's not a progesterone problem. :(

I'm so sorry to hear this. We miscarried in September and the pain is still very much there.

I'm just tired. I get dizzy if I don't drink enough water, too. Oh, and peeing allllll the time.

double post

not a lot yet. i'm a little hungrier than before and quick to bloat. i've been a little crampy and experiencing a little more frequent urination than before (which is hard to top!)but nothing to write home about. i don't usually get the full onslaught of nausea until week 7. hopefully we make it that far!

sore ta ta's. I feel like i have a constant let down sensation and i am up twice a night to pee.

Yeah, I'm kind of the same, it doesn't really kick in until a few more weeks. Here's some sticky baby vibes :goodvibes:

I'm praying we all make it till 40+wks. The most wonderful posts to see are those where mamas have seen the hb on the u/s for the first time. I can't wait...

Here's my list...

7do up to today... Sore nipples. Not debilitating, just sore, like I treated them roughly, which I didn't. :)
9dpo... I had odd feelings in my uterus, not cramping exactly, but it went on all day. I actually thought AF was going to come early. I'm having a little bit of the same feeling tonight (11dpo).
9dpo up to today... A constant urge to swallow, like something is stuck in the back of my throat. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight and found that I have swollen (tastebuds?) at the very back of my tongue. Apparently this is another symptom.
11dpo... Just this evening I have started to pee alot, but that could be physcoscymatic. :)

AAAAAGGHHHHHH! Stevi!! Welcome and big congrats!!

My nips have finally turned a bit sore and I have sinus issues and slight heartburn. Feeling more real now!

Thanks!!!
I already have Reflux, I've had it since I was a teen. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse, I already take three times the regular dose of Prilosec.
But, right now I'll go through fire if it means getting a healthy baby!

Well, you can now add backaches or sore back to my list of symptoms. It started Friday 12dpo. I'm still at the point of loving every twinge!!!

I'm pretty tired...much more than last time. A little nausea here and there, which makes me worry! Last pregnancy I had hyperemesis (severe vomitting about 10 x/day) and I lost 15% of my body weight by week 14. I ended up in the hospital for a few days until I could get rehydrated and gain some weight back. Sooooo, each time I feel a wave of nausea, I just pray that I won't be going through that again. Every pregnancy is different so I'll keep putting it out there that this will be a healthy and safe pregnancy!!!

14DPO today.

I haven't had anything to write home about. On Friday I was slightly nauseated for most of the day, so I think that my body was just getting used to the first wave of hormones. I've felt great ever since.

I'm probably a little bunged up, so I'll have to remember to up my fibre intake. :D Judging from my previous pregnancies, I will probably get tender nips in the next month or so and that's about it until the SPD kicks in. It was debilitating last time, until I saw a chiro. Actually, I may book an appointment with her early this time 'round.

Don't you just love this!!!? :joy:

I am exahusted all the time already... as well as crampy and having to pee.

The only things I've noticed so far are some slight (:wink) mood swings, a teeny lower backache, and I'm HUNGRY! I'm just now 14 dpo though...

I swear I can feel the life inside of me. A tugging, stretching feeling... I am loving this!!!

Also, still have the swallowing thing and definately a sore back.

14DPO for me today too. As far as symptoms just some cramps and full breasts. Oh that and I've been dying for meatloaf and I haven't eaten meat in over 2 years lol :eat:

Oh my god. I was just going to call my Mom for her Meatloaf recipe. I have a mad craving for it and have not had any since i was probably 10 years old. :wink

I guess you can add "alot of creamy cm"... I mean, lots!

I am hungry. Really hungry. A bit more tired and peeing a little more. Not bad yet. I am terrified in a week of ms.

Oh, and I think I may be more "gassy" than usual... Of course that could also be from breaking my diet... LOL

The pit in the stomach thing...the one that wont go away no matter how much I eat. And leg cramps already! And peeing all the time.

I love it!

I am loving it too!!!

Anyone else notice an extremely mushy cervix?

I'd like to add very vivid dreams. I've been having them since a few days post-O. They're not only vivid, but odd as well.

:scratch

Matilda Z... Care to share some details? :)

I think I was close to being nautious today after breakfast. Does this mean I'm going to get every symptom known and unknown!!! It seems like I already have quite a list.

Matilda... I'm in the same boat with the vivid dreams. Some real doozies too..... about really weird embarassing things. :innocent LOL

For me, I've been super tired, my boobs ACHE, and I have to pee a lot. I usually have to pee a lot though, so I don't know if it's the pregnancy or just because I've been drinking more fluids. The boobs are killing me though! Last time it was just my nipples. If they brushed against anything, including my bra, I got little shockwaves. This time they just feel heavy and ache all over.

My symptoms started before I even got my bfp. Full sore breasts, peeing all of the time, gassy and very overly emotional, I think that every thing hurts my feeling or makes me mad, I don`t remeber feeling like that with my other pregnancies and I really don`t like feeling so emotional.

Tired and craving more water.

I decided to jump on the boards after trying to start lunch and getting the dreaded nausea. I wasn't expecting that yet, I had hoped to avoid that for a few weeks. I am preg with #3, with my first I was sick from 8/9 weeks until month 7, with #2 from 7-10 weeks, but not at 5 weeks as this one is beginning. If this keeps up I will either gain 1000 pounds from snacking on crackers and cheese or go crazy with nausea.

I am thinking crazy may be better after all....

The nausea just hit me today. I'm strangely happy about it!

Not in your DDC but I am keeping an eye on stevi and I have had FOUR DAYS of really wild dreams (three that I can remember) and I couldn't help but share. :shy I hope you don't mind

dream 1 (this is the good one) : Me and someone, no one that I knew, were evacuated from my grandparents house because of zombies. I had to round up some things that I wanted to take I instead of my backpacking pack I put it in duffel bags and slung them over my back. I had to get my moms dog and this bassett hound out with us (why I didn't take my own dogs? IDK) we ended up in a mall (zombies remember?) where my unknown partner doesn't want to carry his stuff and sets it on a bench, when I tell him he has to carry it he pulls a really really really tiny black gun on me. (the gun was like 2 inches long:lol) A friend from Highschool that I haven't seen since HS was a mall rent a cop and tackled him :shrug

dream 2 : My boss was following me around a house party like he wanted weed or beer or something from me. No matter where I went (ie the store, the movies) he would pop out of nowhere and say "Hi Hi what are you up to?"

Dream 3: I was in school but I was a TA or a Teacher and one of the chefs that instructed me was a student. He kept correcting me and telling me how he does things. Then when we went outside he asked me to a party with some of the other teachers. It was strange, my mind couldn't decide if he was a student or a teacher!


sorry that got long, but I haven't gotten a good nights sleep in 4 days. Maybe telling someone about them will make them go away!

Kriket... Ooooh, I hope those dreams are a good sign! I'd love for you to join the May DDC!!!!!

Holy nausea, batman. And I'm headed to Seattle for a week tonight to visit our inlaws. Yikes! I hope this passes....I know it sounds terrible to worry about whether or not I'll feel the same way I did last time around, but wow, is it ever on my mind. Anyhow, wish me luck and I"ll catch up with you all when I return from our vacation!

cheers,
andrea

The nausea arrived today... It's not too bad, sort of a ghost of nausea if you know what I mean. I can feel it, but it's mild enough I can control it.

We'll see how long that continues. :)

huh?
what is "seeing the hb on the u/s?" I know u/s is ultrasound, but what is hb??

I knew I was pregnant cause I woke up 4 times in 8 hours of sleep to pee!!! LOL
symptoms so far... just peeing, semi-sore boobs, sometime let down tingle, which is weird... we stopped nursing a few months ago, so it's weird to feel it now.
I'm a little more hungry, but the biggest symptom for me is EXHAUSTION! I could sleep 12 hours a day. It is always like this for me. This is baby 5 for us.
- Jen

oh, hb = heartbeat

with my DS my OB was able to show me the heartbeat movement really clearly on the u/s, then last time he thought he saw something but realized it was just a uterine contraction - that was the time I had the m/c. :( He mentioned that when you see the heartbeat the m/c risks drops quite a bit. I guess it marks a milestone in development.

This time though I don't know if my midwife does u/s or not.

Symptoms thus far:

Sore, heavy (bigger!) boobs
Insanely frequent peeing
Forgetfulness/ day dreaming (may or may not be related)

And thats it! I feel great. I had a really clear positive, so I was expecting symptoms to hit hard, but not so far. I estimate myself to be about 5 weeks along so I guess I could pop in late April, but early May seems more likely.

well for starters, about two weeks ago i burst into tears over nothing, and BF says "don't worry baby, you're just pregnant" (totally joking)

so last week when i found out (surprise!!) i asked him why he always had to be right about my moodiness....he got the hint right away!

the boobs/nips...i threatened to make him walk behind me all day and hold them up!!! sooooo sore

lots of weird vivid dreams which is normal for me anyway, but these seem a little more intense. actually giggled when i woke up this morning and had to pee and i'd been dreaming of trying to find a bathroom all over a huge house! LOL

yesterday was THE worst for gas pain. felt like a terrible stabbing pain in my diaphragm and lots of pressure. Thanks dad for the marinated zuchinni, squash, peppers and carrots salad!!!

is there any safe thing to take for gas during pregnancy??? (asking here just since i haven't bugged around the net for answers yet...) feeling MUCH better this morning!!

is feeling spaced out and a bit overwhelmed by little things symptoms??

have some pressure/cramps from time to time too, but all i read about that it seems to be normal!!!

congrats mamas!!! this is definitely exciting!!!

I had implantation cramping 1 or 2 days before af was due, that was my first clue and so far my only symptom besides not wanting to do any work :p

nothing :( I know I should enjoy not feeling like crap, but I'd feel better if I had some reassurance. It's only 4 wks, so I know this is normal, but I want to feel pregnant.

What is nuts is every other time we've tried I had no trouble imagining I had every symptom in the book. I was so sure each time that we were pregnant - but now that I actually have positive preganancy tests strewn all over the house (I take at least one a day to make sure it's still positive) I can't feel a thing.

Well, hopefully you all can point back to this post and tell me to quit my whining in a couple weeks.

I'll point at you pleasantlyfurious! A week ago i was jogging and raking the yard and playing with my toddler completely oblivious to what was in store!! I have been having nausea since thursday and it's miserable. I wish I hadn't said "I feel great" so many times in week 4 and 5!

Acne. Yuck.

I think I may be getting some acne too...
I'm still thrilled with every reminder!!!!

just got bfp today! i really didnt think it would be positive but, there ya have it! i've had vaguely sore nipples for a few days. not enough to be bothersome, barely noticable even. i have been getting up to pee in the night too. two nights ago i dreamt i was preg with twins :X and last night I dreamt I got a bfp. So this morning I thought I'd check and see if last night's dream was going to come true and it DID! Yaaaay!! :)

Congrats LilStar!

And let's add irrational, uncontrollable crying to the list of symptoms. Someone was mean to me on the phone at work and I burst into tears as soon as I hung up. SO unlike me. How on earth am I going to keep this under wraps at work until 12 weeks?? On the positive side, it must be a good sign that my body is producing enough hormones to make me feel like an idiot, right? :D

Pregnancy symptoms are good, really good. We love them right, ladies!!! lol

:bouncy

Soooo, my recent duldrums are a symptom too?

Oh, did I mention that my Reflux is acting up?

Am I missing any symptoms? Cause I feel like I have everything I've ever heard of, plus some I never heard of!

And still loving every twinge, burp and flutter!!!

I am feeling so paranoid! Usually I am calm and level headed but I am getting sensitive to what everyone is saying, reading bad things (about me) into probably nothing. I have burst into tears over stupid things, I cried during a children's commercial.

The nausea seems to be setting in for me, but in an odd turn of events I'm getting nauseous in the evenings only. Dunno why, but by the time I'm getting E ready for bed I feel like I'm going to lose my supper all over the rocking chair.

Good times.

I seem to get the nausea in the afternoons/early evenings. Still not bad, it seems like eating settles it down.

I have some mild nausea, but that could be due to the insanely horrible chest cold I have right now.

Morning sickness hit exactly on the day I turned 5 weeks. I'm also on an antibiotic that makes me sick but I can differentiate the two. Not much fun.

Ok, I'm officially 6 weeks. I want symptoms! haha. I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts. Still, some occasional reassurance would be nice, ya know?

Man, this time around, I'm feeling so pregnant it's nuts. At (about?) 1 week after ovulation, I knew. I was famished, and I told DH I felt like someone put me on the wrong meds. I took 2 tests that weekend with no sure positive. The next weekend, I got my BFP.
I've been exhausted (more than my usual toddler-induced exhaustion), super sore breasts - nursing is tough- and I can't seem to eat faster than my hunger! No MS yet, thank God!

what is morning sickness? Do you throw up or can you just feel sick? Is it normal to start so early? ie. 4 wks?

my taddies are the size of boulders and hurt plus I feel sick all the time. I didn't think any of this was suposta happen for a few more weeks!

Oh and I have lost all concentration and focus. Its rediculus.

Man, m/s has hit hard. Last night I was so tired but laying down made me feel really icky. Then again this am......icky. Not cool. DH made the comment that I had forgotten about this part of 'it'. He's right. But still....I can do without feeling icky.:(

Hi there- you don't have to throw up to have "morning sickness" the name really just covers a broad range of stomach related symptoms that can vary greatly as to when during the day you get them or how early in the pregnancy you get it. There is a technical term for the severe (10 + times a day) throwing up that some women get- but I don't remeber what it is.
Anyway, I don't think 4 weeks is too early. With my son I got it a little later (maybe 6 weeks?) but it was the same thing-- no throwing up, just feeling sick. You can probably anticipate feeling worse in the next few weeks. Once my stomach turned the deep in the bones fatigue kicked in not far behind it. But luckily that phase doesn't last too long for most. You've probably heard this before but eating frequent small amounts helped a ton with the sickness part.
This time I am really really early -- only 11 DPO today-- but I am getting that "pit" in the stomach feeling off and on already. We'll see what happens...

Aaron calls it momnesia.

Sore boobs, sore joints (I have this sometimes normally, but pregnancy seems to increase that) and having to pee a lot.

And grumpy and moddy. Did I mention that? ;)

Morning sickness has shown up here too, but it strikes any part of the day that it chooses. Unforutunately brushing my teeth and choking down my prenatal are causing problems now. But in all honestly I welcome the symptoms, my last prengnacy which was a loss had very few so it makes me feel secure. :love

Kriket- Morning sickness for me is that "uh oh, I could throw up at any moment" feeling but I never actually do it. With my previous pregnancies it got a lot worse as time went on and I actually started making mad dashes for the restroom. :Puke

I'm the same way. In my mind puking = sticky baby.

Which is not to say I won't complain about it. :D

Ugh. I am sick every minute of the day usually. It gets worse at 3 o'clock. But I am not a puker. So I don't. But I commented on a thread recently that totally explained how I feel. Like someone food processed my insides. I feel like I have a nasty swill of bubbling goo in my stomach and its HORRIBLE!

I had nausea for like 3 days with my son so this is really getting to me. :( Especially since eating doesn't help like it did with him.

But I will say I have no boob symptoms. Not sore, big, tingly, purple, veiny, or anything!!

The food aversions are slowly starting. I had them bad with my second and mildly with my first. They suck either way. Right now I am struggling to eat something in the morning, I nosh on crackers for a while then try and get something else in me. Today I'm trying a smoothie.

But typically for me if I don't eat often enough, which is a minimum of every 2 hr I get sick and yucky and the longer I go the less I want to eat. Which just gets worse. So I am going to try very hard to fend it off as best I can this month.

I just started having symptoms in the past few days. I first noticed the other night when I took my bra off that my breasts were bigger and "floppier" and they are a little tender and sore when they are first released from the bra ( but not most of the day oddly). Mostly they are tender around the outside edged near the chest. And today I am noticing an increase sensitivity to flavors and smells. I am not really nauseous, but I keep feeling really hungry, so I eat, but certain foods don't taste "right" and it hard for me to keep eating them (even though I am hungry). I seem to prefer salty and tart/sour flavors right now. Orange juice, pickles, and yogurt seem to make my tummy happy -- honey flavored cereal O's, sweet corn and pasta, and the fake sweetened numbing goo at the dentist all make my tummy displeased.

Week 5 and we're on the sore nipples while nursing my toddler.

a symptom I wouldn't have noticed as a symptom necessarily, except that I had it with my dd. There's this little section on the left side of my chin that breaks out.

I don't get sick with my boys, but get very sick with my girls. I'm hoping no sick = boy this time. We'll see. :) I do get slightly nauseaus a few times with my boys, but nothing close to with my girls.

So. Much. Nausea. Bleeeehhhhhhh :(

I am 6 weeks 2 days so i am very tierd,sore boobs here and there, going potty at night, natious all day:)

I'm 18DPO and have sore bbs. I felt a little weak while standing and singing in church today. That is about it.

I am 4 weeks 3 days and I am soooo bloated the gas and burping is driving me crazy. I am also constipated, I am NEVER constipated. Not having to pee a ton lately so that's good and while I can smell things a mile away I am not very nauseous yet. Otherwise just crampy with the occasional twinge in my cervix. I feel good I guess.

I am a burping machine!

:lol I too am a burping machine! It has subsided a little. Anyone even seen Juno? I totally haven't pooped since wednesday... morning, either :irked:

I was constipated with my first pregnancy, but this one I wake up with startling cramps every morning and have to run to the toilet. I have very active bowels this time!!

Tired. Back Door Trots. and does total utter b*tchiness count? :p

:lol I too am a burping machine! It has subsided a little. Anyone even seen Juno? I totally haven't pooped since wednesday... morning, either :irked:

I'm gonna be Juno for Halloween. :P

HOLY CRAP! I am totally stealing your idea... I'm in Ohio so it's not like we will come across each other. :lol too bad we won't be really big yet

HOLY CRAP! I am totally stealing your idea... I'm in Ohio so it's not like we will come across each other. :lol too bad we won't be really big yet

Well I figure it's better that way, I'm gonna be pregnancy-test Juno. Complete with jug o' Sunny D.

That is awesome!! love it!

Adding PEEING ALL THE TIME to new symptoms. I woke three times last night cause I just couldn't hold it till morning. I never wake at night to pee. So annoying but great at the same time.

Also swear my stomache is developing a pooch wtf??!! Seriously I swear I am looking preggie already. I can't even suck it in. I guess with this being number three things just start to loosen a lot faster?? Atleast thats what I'm telling myself. btw I'm almost 4 weeks? anyone else with a pooch?

I wouldn't call mine a pooch it looks like a gut to me :lol. But I swear before I was pregnant I could suck it in. I'll post pics in the belly thread tomorrow.

Nursing is a bit painful but not any different than if AF was about to arrive. Complete exhaustion is usually the first symptom for me but I welcome it because I have insomnia and get the best sleep of my life during pregnancy :p No bloating here but I usually blow up around 9-10 weeks and just get enormous from there on out. I only had occasionally nausea with DS so I'm hoping to get lucky again and avoid any throwing up this time around.

That is awesome!! love it!

Sometimes you bloat in early pregnancy. I am, too. My jeans are all so tight on my lower abdomen they make me all sore. I only wear them when I'm going out. haha.

I feel a lot better today! Maybe my trick is going to be getting to bed early. I'm a little queasy but not near as bad as it has been.

For the love of all that is holy....the sickness must stop! I cannot take care of three kids (my 2 plus an extra) when I want to :Puke All of my normal remedies are not working. So...the kids are parked in front of word world and I am trying to distract myself with computer. I thought I could make what my stomach was craving. bacon covered crackers. Icky right.....well it sounded good, it looks good but the smell, oh, the smell is nauseating. Send wishes that it goes away.....soon.

At 5 weeks and 4 days - the gassiness and burping has come down to a level I can live with, thank goodness. The cramps are also easing up. But now my breasts are always tender (they bother me at night especially) and I get waves of nausea during the day. It only lasts 2-5 minutes but for that time I feel like the worst flu I've ever had has just hit me - I got very hot, my head starts to swim and my stomach starts doing flip flops. Ick.

hey, except for feeling crampy, you just described all of my symptoms to a tee! :lol

eta: i'm also at exactly 5w, 4d.

I am ~20DPO and have no nausea that I can notice, just occasional trouble swallowing vitamins.

Sore bbs and have felt tightness in lower abdomen. I feel pregnant, though I have no nausea. I know it's good to have nausea, so I worry that I don't have a sticky baby :crap

Last week's symptoms:
Sore nipples.
Being woken up at 3AM by the need to pee.
Some cramping.
Creamy CF.
Some bloating by the end of the day.

This week's symptoms (so far):
Nipples sore, even more so, oww.
Larger breasts. But no bump yet, so I just look like I have much nicer, fuller breasts, tee-hee.
Nightly need to pee. Urgent need to pee often during the day now.
Still cramping (kind of worries me sometimes b/c I'm paranoid).
Creamy CF, but I don't think nearly as much as last week. Hard to tell though.
Some bloating by the end of the day.

No nausea/vomiting yet. I kind of think I will get it still. Also, I have no noticeable bump. The belly pics this week and last week look exactly the same, except (I think) my breasts look bigger this week. By the end of the day, I look slightly bigger there, but by the next morning, the bloating has gone away, and I look smaller again. Weird.

Some women never have nausea. Don't stress! And even if you do, it normally doesn't start until week 5 at the earliest.

I'm 4 weeks today and the exhaustion has kicked in.. ugh! I'm also peeing all the time and have some intense heartburn when I've never had heartburn before in my life. My SO says it's all psychosomatic, I asked him if he's growing a baby inside him! :eyesroll :lol

Last night I got heartburn for the first time. That was a shocker! Mainly I have just been famished. I haven't had nausea but only quick onset on hungry which, if not acknowledged, is followed by a feeling like a can't eat anything.

I tend to get distracted if I am working and skip breakfast/meals so my husband is in shock watching me get up at 7am and bring a piece of string cheese with me into the bed.:dropjaw

i got major nausea at dinner last night & again this morning in bed. i am actually really excited about it! :lol

Is anyone else having problems sleeping? I'm exhausted, but can barely sleep at night. I do take a nap sometimes during the day (it's mostly the only good sleep I get!), but I can barely sleep at night either way.

so, I never had one whit of nausea with DS, but I've been feeling little "waves" of it that come and go rather fleetingly, usually right after I've even something or if I'm hungry. Does that count?
Other than that, my boobs started to hurt yesterday and I've got the usual fatigue and peeing a lot.

I am only 13 DPO so I feel silly posting my symptoms but I have to say that FATIGUE has been the one I have been noticing the most. Serious serious fatigue. In my last pregnancy that didn't hit til at least 5 or 6 weeks.

And i have been having really strong cravings for orange juice and vegetables! I feel like I could drink a whole gallon of OJ! :)

oh and this is really bad. 2 nights ago, dh got close to me and the smell of his breath made me feel like I was 2 seconds away from getting sick. I had to push him away! (and no normally his breath is not vomit inducing) I felt so bad. I think I have an increased sensitivity to smells.

oh and peeing non stop. Im normally the woman with the iron bladder so this is really annoying. I can't believe it started this early.

and a crampy tightness in my lower abdomen but not like my normal cramps. lower down and not as painful, just weird feeling.

Me! Me! Me! I am exhausted. I WANT to sleep. But I can't! It takes forever to fall asleep, I wake up every hour or two and lay there for a while trying to go back to sleep, then I'm up at the crack of dawn. I'm surprised I haven't collapsed yet.

Other than that, I've had mild cramping, a lower back ache, and my boobs are hot and painful, but that seems to come and go. Also, some nausea in the AM.

Yep, exactly this. I can NOT get to sleep. It's really really awful and I know I bother Aaron at night too. Not to mention I feel sleep deprived during the day.

Nausea is terrible. It feels like I ate something awful or have a stomach bug and I should just throw up to get rid of it. It sucks to think that no amount of puking will make it feel better.

Bring on the second trimester! (Hey, I'm more than halfway there!)

I'm at 6 weeks.

Nausea every morning, first thing when I get up (for me, it really is morning sickness), just like in my first pregnancy. Indigestion and queasiness all day, with a little more nausea thrown in here and there. Increase in appetite, tender breasts and very low energy.

My nipples!!!

OMG!

Talk about SORE!

I'm having nausea already and crazy sense of smell.

Ok, so the nausea has been working for a while now and I have been hoping for a bit of relief. I have found that ICE cold water, a bit of protein before bed and preggie pop lozenges are the key for me. The ms is still here but I didn't wake up and have to run to the throne. That and a bit of coffee in the am. I had cut out all caffeine and coffee but it is working, so, I am going to stick with it.

So Dh climbed into bed last night after I was half asleep and starts trying to get a little lovin'... he goes for the boobs and says "THEY GREW!!!" So I looked and yes they have! So thats what they were doing all day yesterday. I kept rubbing them and sort of itching them, it was weird. I had to laugh. Atleast he noticed he's not one to notice stuff like that! I'm pretty small to begin with 34bish. So I also feel like my chest is sticking out when they grow (pregnancy and nursing) I get all weired out by it feeling all huge?

I feel like a furnace I'm so hot. I nearly roasted my husband off the couch last night. Then this morning I woke up on top of my covers sweating. I guess there really is a bun in this oven lol.

oh yeah! Im hot as well, poor dh was complaining last night. And I got a new symptom today! Unbelievable someone punched me in the nipples as hard as they could SORENESS! I cannot believe how much they hurt. They are like THROBBING. They were tingling for a while and then they launched into this. I didn't have this symptom at all with my first.

eta: Im 4 weeks 1day. :)

Unfortunately this Bronchitis is overriding most of my symptoms!
I'm coughing, sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, fevers, sweats, muscle aches, back aches, headaches...
I can't tell if the slight nausea I'm feeling is my MS or from being sick!!
The only symptom I know is from the pregnancy are the nipple sensitivity & soreness. So, I deliberately feel myself up whenever I start to miss my other symptoms! LOL

I HATE being sick!!!

I'm sorry you're sick.

I don't have bronchitis, but I am paranoid, so I find myself doing this a lot to see if I'm still sore! :lol

OMW! Why on earth did that happen??

I don't think that actually happened- I think she is saying that is how badly they hurt.

I hope they didn't really do that. My chest hurts just thinking about it! The ladies are sensitive!!

oops sorry guys! I get carried away sometimes with my poor analogies. It feels LIKE someone punched me in the nipples as hard as they could. ahem my tendancy to be overdramatic. :blush

Lol Renee. I'm really surprised mine aren't hurting worse just because that's always been a big AF sign for me. I'm usually the type that they hurt with every step I take on my period. Now I only can tell they're a little sore if I touch them. I'll try to enjoy it while it lasts lol.

I normally don't get sore breasts for AF, just a little bit at Ovulation time, like if I touch them they are tender. Not like just sitting here doing nothing they are throbbing and aching. soooo weird for me! Im just not used to it.

Add peeing constantly to my list now too. I was up three or four to go before I couldn't go back to sleep anymore.

Off and on all day sickness has seemed to set in for me [5wk 2days]. Not up-chucking, but uneasy all day. Last night I went to bed, I told dh, "I'm nauseous, hungry cuz I couldn't eat enough, but have indigestion from the little bit I did manage to eat." :lol But at least it makes me feel pg.

I am going to go ahead and add a few more symptoms. My boobs feel like someone is literally stabbing them from the underside repeatedly. And my cervix is super tender sharp stabby pains every now and then and it hurts to sit so I have been lying down or sitting on the boppy.

My nausea is the worst yet today. I woke up this morning and had some cereal and then when my DH woke up I fell sleep on the couch for a few hours. When I woke up I dragged myself to the bathroom and had the sweats and went potty and then laid on the floor in the bathroom for a while because the tile felt cool. I was feeling like I might throw up but I'm such a non puker that I couldn't do it. I dragged myself out of the bathroom and drank a huge glass of water and ate some bread and butter and felt a bit better. But now a few hours later I am shaky and sweaty and breathless and nauseas and I just want to CRY!

My parents are moving in for a few days before they head to Florida for the winter and I am going to use that time to sleep and rest a lot. They can entertain the toddler!

am. so. tired. today....

so of course DS is EXTRA active and peppy and not wanting his afternoon nap...

12 DPO- tired, boobs feel different, oh yeah- tired (more than usual), hungry, waves of nausea, have to pee all the time... I think that pretty much sums it up!

I think this overly hot thing is going to be what ends up making me puke. I ended up in the bathroom of our favorite Thai restaurant tonight with a cold paper towel over my face feeling like I might get sick I was so hot. My fault for shoveling so much fried rice into my mouth lol. I'd hate to see it if I actually ordered the spicy food there.

Am really starting to feel those sore breasts now! I was an A-cupper for years and had very little (basically none) feeling in them. Now I definately know they're there!!! Hello!!! Does this mean I have to buy a bra?

I feel like I'm starving all the time, boobs are sore and itchy, I am lethargic, bloated, weepy and mental, have heartburn that won't quit and big fat swollen legs and feet...what gives, I'm only 5 weeks!

I took my vitamins last night and instantly got nauseous. Once it settled I went to bed where I woke all night from dreams and feeling yucky and hot. I woke this morning came down stairs and was hit hard with a huge wave of nausea. OMG I instantly got so HOT and had to go to the bathroom. The 6m old I babysit would be here soon and I am crawling up the stairs on my hands and knees to my a/c bedroom. I couldn't believe how sick I got so instantly. After pooing and laying down not moving for a few minutes I felt a little better. But even now 2.5 hrs later I am still feeling wobbly.

The funny thing is that last night DH and I were talking and he starts going on about how its just 1 girl and I jokingly said and 1 boy. I keep having these thoughts of twins, it's really weird? He says I jinxed myself :p

They run on both sides of the family. So its certaintly possible.

What do you guys think of the preggie pops? Do they work?
I may need to invest in some.

Is anyone generating A LOT of saliva? I sure am and I really hate the taste of it. That alone makes me feel sick.

I don't think twins on the male side has any influence, but I could be wrong.

I'm sorry you felt so crummy :(. I like to lay down too. Since I have a desk job, it's hard. I just went outside for 20 min and laid down in the back seat of my car. I felt better afterwards, but can't do that every hour, unfortunately :(. Thankfully, I am sleeping well.

[QUOTE=CookAMH;12197161]I don't think twins on the male side has any influence, but I could be wrong.QUOTE]

ahhh yes I think you are right, Well they do run on my mothers side.


Is anyone having any stretching/pulling down low on the sides? I notice it when I am laying down and go to turn over especially at night while sleeping.

Is it my uterus or round ligaments, anyone know? It's quite painful!

Yeppers, I've been getting that all week and part of last week. Hate it, had it with my last one too, but it's been very early and painful this time. I'd go with round ligaments as a theory. =)

Preggie Pops:
Yes I believe they do absolutely do work. Some people don't receive relief, but I do and since they were $5 at the motherhood store for the lozenges (package of) they were worth trying even if I didn't find relief.

I do think they are worth it.

thanks maxsmom I think I may go seek some out.
