Monday Symptom Thread!

[mynameiscarrie]

Hooray for pregnancy! What are your symptoms today?

I was constipated yesterday and had really stinky gas today. DH would be proud. I've felt nauseated the last two nights and I'm not sure if it's baby related, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it to see if MS is really When-I'm-Supposed-To-Be-Sleeping Sickness. Other than that and being exhausted (especially during workouts- I get so burnt out so easily), I'm feeling ok!

[run4fun]

The MS hit yesterday. It's comes and goes, thankfully it's just nausea not vomiting yet. The only time it's messed with what I wanted to do was while I tried to sleep last night. I'm always bloated and gassy, everyday. And crampy sometimes too.

ETA: overall I feel good. Not all complaining here

[squeakyduck]

Instead of getting hungry, my stomach just hurts. Not fun.

[risscaboobs]

No complaining here. Just a bit crampy. Only 4 weeks today.

[sweett11]

I can't sleep. Waves of nausea and exhaustion periodically but overall, I feel pretty good.

[medic7979]

Cramps, nausea, fatigue, still can't sleep, back pain, very sore boobies. Fun times.

BOOBS. SO. SORE. It hurts to lay down on my stomach now. And it sucks because that's how I sleep. (even though I know that's going to change soon) my lower back has been killing me, like almost crippling when I stand up after sitting for a while. Don't really know if that has to do with the pregnancy or not, but I'm throwing it out there. Nausea has pretty much been gone the last couple days again. Still can't sleep enough to feel energized.

[ls2012]

Just a bit tired, sore chest, slightly crampy on and off. Prenatals are making my stomach upset.

OH MAN, I forgot about my sore boobs too! I guess I'm feeling a little forgetful too...

DH accidentally hit me in a boob last night and I almost punched him

[littleowl913]

Sore boobs, so incredibly exhausted, waves of minimal nausea and I forget everything.

[sonpetitlapin]

PURE UTTER EXHAUSTION. I am so worthless. I have no energy and all I want to do is lay down and sleep. Lower back still bother me and I am never comfortable. Nausea occasionally. The boob thing is starting to calm down. Sometimes emotional.

[jumpingpuddles]

I feel like this is a FTM question, but I'm gonna ask anyway... My fatigue is off the charts, nothing I've ever experienced with previous pregnancies, wondering if I should be concerned about other issues? I mean, I just took a 3 hr nap after sleeping a good amount last night, and I'm still beat. I'm worried about how I will even function once ms hits full-on.

[PiradicalMaid]

squeakyduck-- I liked your post in solidarity. I go from hating the idea of food to feeling nauseated with stomach pain.

I'm also with the rest of you on the holy-sore-boobs. Ouch. Also, my bloat is out of control! I know it's a gas baby, but I feel like I look pregnant, ha ha. I'm weirdly gagging at random things (at least it's not vomiting, yet. I will be asking for the zofran this time, though!) and I keep getting motion sick. Last night, SO was rocking in a rocking chair and I could not.handle.it. I'm also soooo tired. I'm crashing way earlier than normal.

This all in the last two days! Last pregnancy I had almost no symptoms until I was farther along. Yikes. (not complaining- it is very reassuring that things are going the way they are meant to)

In my completely-non-medical opinion, I wouldn't worry. Each pregnancy is different and your body is just telling you what it needs. Are you busier this time around? Maybe you are using more energy than you realize. Or maybe it's just taking more energy to grow this baby. I'd just rest when I could and try not to worry

[littleowl913]

Here's my pregnancy brain example for the day. My parents gave me a bag of frozen shrimp last night. DH just texted me that I left the bag of shrimp on the dining room table and the whole place stinks! My first thought - what a waste of shrimp! My reply: go throw that out now. I don't want to smell that when I get home. lol oops

[vlinder]

So. Much. Nausea. today. And bloat. Had to go ahead and use the rubber band on my pants in the morning, usually I've been able to wait until afternoon.

[pickles4prez]

Had some pink spotting when I wiped last night, but it stopped as soon as I noticed it and hasn't returned. I'm holding on to the fact that I'm extremely nauseous and no cramps.
Debating if it's worth call my dr or not. Thoughts?

I would hold off, but there's certainly no harm in calling either if it will make you feel better! Damn spotting! Hope it stays away for good.

[snowboarderbritt]

Lots of morning sickness. Ugh. I hope it ends at 12 weeks like my last pregnancy! Also, like nothing sounds good to eat.

[pantaloons55]

Holy hell, the 6th week has roared in for me. I have been feeling like utter garbage since Friday. I woke up early Friday (5 am) starving to death and had to eat but somehow it really flared up the IBS, that or the hormones kicked in and it was coincidental. Regardless, I spent most of the day in bed Friday (I had the day off anyway)just trying to relax.

Nausea, stomach pain (in lieu of hunger I suppose), gas (belching), bloat all kicked in. I'm somewhat nauseated in the morning, but evening is what kills me. At least the boobs scaled back last week. The pain is still there, but far less intense, so I'll take it.

Oh yeah, and I suddenly have the nose of a bloodhound. So much for my scent-free workplace. I want to die from all the scents I've smelled here today.

[themrsjrd]

6w6d today. I think I now have "afternoon after I eat lunch" sickness. It started Friday. Boobs still sore, though my super sized sports bra came in and that has helped. Still pretty tired too. I'd be perfectly content laying in bed or on the couch all day. Luckily I'm on spring break this week! For the most part im not really cramping anymore but I still find myself gassy and constipated.

First appointment and u/s is tomorrow and I'm scared as hell. I have enough symptoms to make me feel like everything is okay but I'm still terrified that there won't be a heartbeat.

[sunfrogger88]

Sore boobs. Nausea mostly first thing in the am. Very very very thirsty and a little constipation. The skin between my boobs is itchy. And I have a strong feeling I need to go buy new bras soon. These already feel tight.

Also I don't have much of an appetite or craving yet but yesterday I had pizza and holy gas in my stomach. Ugh. Also some heartburn and dizziness.

[fuzzylogic]

Acid reflux is a thing. I got it last night and it's threatening to come back today.

[Deleted]

i got nothing to add except i love your siggy fuzzylogic

[mrspipp]

Thinking of you tomorrow, themrsjrd!

[ladygray]

M/s is in full effect. A donut cured it this morning. Equal parts helpful and absolutely horrible information for me to have.

Bizarre middle back pain by the end of every day. Anyone else? Never had this before but apparently it's a hormone thing.

Also I'm already bizarrely forgetful.

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you! My first u/s is Friday and I was just telling a friend that since my nausea kicked in over the weekend, it makes me feel like good things are going on. But I'm still worried about finding a heartbeat as well.

I needed a donut this afternoon, and then immediately after decided I needed fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I gave in since it was the only non (completely) carb I've wanted all day. If I keep this up it's not going to be pretty.

[sunfrogger88]

Update, holy nausea. It's free cone day at dq and I am really regretting my decision to stop after work. Between this and the pizza last night giving me stomach pain I just found my first food intolerance. Ugh.

[themrsjrd]

mrspipp, thanks! run4fun, thanks also and as we are edd twins I will really be looking forward to your update Friday. I'm glad you're feeling positive!
