I am just curious where everyone is at on their symtoms? I am 12 weeks today and feeling good. Last week I felt good too. It makes me a little nervous in a way because I also don't feel like I have gotten any bigger the last few weeks. I still have been getting headaches, my breast are very tender and the heartburn starting kicking in. I go back to the doctor a week from today, but I just don't know if this is all normal or not. I guess 3 weeks is a long time for me to go without my midwife validating my pregnancy!
This is my first time, so maybe I just don't know what to expect.

How are you feeling now that we are mostly in the 11-14 week range?

I am 11 weeks today and have been feeling much better too- this is my second and I remember this happening around now last time. My queasiness is gone, but still have weird cravings/aversions. Breasts are tender as hell, mild headaches are starting, but my "morning sickness" (ha!) has lifted and my energy is better. So... totally normal! Enjoy feeling better- just wait a few more months.

I'm 12.5 weeks and I'm feeling ok. It's been a long couple of weeks though, and the more tired I am the worse I feel. I'm not nearly as bad as I was though. My next appointment is on Friday, and I'm just hoping for hb with the doppler. We didn't get one with my son. I'm growing though! I realized on Friday that I was showing when I went to get dressed for DH's christmas party. That dress just didn't look the way I was hoping.

I'm 13 weeks 2 days, and feeling pretty crappy today, but I think a lot of that is because I had a terrible night's sleep. Over the last 2 weeks, the nausea has gotten somewhat better. It's still there, but I'm not throwing up as much, and it doesn't last as long. However, I seem to be even more sensitive to smells than I was before and my gag reflex is starting to annoy me.

I'm 14w 2d and my biggest issue is sciatica. It seems way too early, but it's pretty painful by 8pm most nights. I have a heart shaped uterus and until it grows more the baby is staying on my right side. I'm really hoping once this happens the sciatica pain will get better.
MS actually kicked my butt pretty good last week during out road trip, the worst yet.

I am 13.5 weeks and I have actually been feeling pretty good the entire pregnancy... which has just added to my denial about the whole thing!! I had some slight nausea and food aversions in the begining but now? Just a bit more tired then usual... if I didn't know I was pregnant I probably would think I just needed to sleep more!! It concerns me just a tad but then again my pregnancy with DS was pretty much the same so maybe I just lucked out like that. I have a midwife appointment on Thursday so hopefully hearing the baby and everything will make it more real!!!

I am 11w5d with a lot of nausea. It's increased over the past 10 days. My first pregnancy I had the nausea with a lot of vomiting, borderline HG, and lost a lot of weight. It finally eased between 14-16 weeks. No vomiting this time, but the nausea is killing me. I have major food aversions- I can't eat anything with feathers
and very little with fur. Fish is okay, but that has to be in moderation.

I've had some bleeding issue and lots of u/s though, so I know the lil bean is doing okay, as of Thursday.

11w today, and still pretty much the same. My m/s hasn't been too bad, and I've only thrown up 2x. I get heartburn sometimes and have serious gas pains some days. But otherwise, it's been a pretty easy pregnancy so far.

Sounds like I am feeling the same way a lot of you are. And it sounds like we are all making good progress. Thanks for the replies ladies! It is comforting to hear from others in the same place as I am!

Nausea = generally better, still have ups and downs.
Hunger = still quite hungry but not as frantically sick/hungry.
Fatigue = still need lots of naps and rest.
Breasts = sorer, bigger, less milk.
Belly (aka "show")= Totally depends on my level of bloat!
Sense of smell = high gear. I found a loose B vitamin in my bathroom drawer by smell alone last night.
Emotions = out of control. I watched a Hallmark movie last night and every single commercial (all Hallmark!) choked me up. I'm *not* a crier normally.

I am 13 weeks 5 days today. I seem to be better but I am still not that interested in eating. My nausea has decreased quite a bit. I am still tired and my breast seem to be getting worse. I am feeling the babies on a regular basis. I had an appointment today and lost 1 pound. The babies sound great. My next u/s is in 4 weeks for an anatomy scan.

Nausea is better most days but sense of smell is NUTS. The last few days I've almost puked from cooking chicken, from black beans, from my DD's gas, LOL. Still pretty tired too. Boobs not as sore either anymore.

Well according to my dates I should be 12 wks. today (will know more on Friday when I have my u/s) and I am feeling better. Last week my nausea was pretty bad, not throwing up, but bad enough that I had hard time functioning. But this week I def. feel like I am ending my first tri. I have energy today which is soooooo nice.

I'm a little over 13 weeks and I'm feeling better in that I have reduced nausea but I have been feeling crampy and a little crappy and definately exhausted. I'm learning quickly to not try to do too much at once, I regret it!

I'm still gagging sometimes and my sense of smell is nuts. My appitite is better but still not great.
