Thursday Symptoms / Lack of Symptoms

[southernpeach89]

I'm adding a new symptom to the list today that appeared 3 days ago and hasn't stopped: Gas.

It's awful and luckily DH hasn't noticed it yet and if he does, I'm blaming it on the dog. It just came out of no where. Oh well.

Hahaha! I love tit Fearsy! My boobs are finally starting to get sore. I know, I shouldn't be wishing that on myself.

Great morning this AM! School had a delay so I got an extra hour n 30 minutes to sleep in! Then as I was getting dressed my OB called with my 3rd set of betas, they went from 1200 to 6500!!! Ultrasound will be scheduled for 2/2 if I can get it. Then I treated myself to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast (finally got that lemonade we were talking about on Tuesday). Great start to a hopefully great day.

Symptoms include congestion & sore boobs, but so far that's it.

SLEEPLESSNESS!

Every night this week I've been awake for over an hour, at least. It's getting old fast. The first trimester fatigue is slowly creeping up on me. I was exhausted last night and feel asleep reading to DD at 8:30. Oops..

I also think my boobs are slowly getting bigger but they don't hurt yet.

[skibunny]

Stayed home sick today because my stomach is a wreck. Not sure if it is baby related or stomach flu but I am terribly nauseous which has not been a symptom for me thus far. I am 8 weeks today and was hoping that I had skipped that as a symptom this time around.

[canadiansciencegeek]

Boobs are starting to get sore, which I'm happy about, because they were sad pancakes since weaning DD.

[soyloca]

Gas and acne are about it for me. Oh and major food aversions, all i can eat is fruit!

[andied]

The nightly 3-4 am feeding for the LO has now turned into my nightmare. I can NOT go back to sleep afterwards. Making matters worse, the twins have decided it's acceptable to wake up at 5:30. Naptime is calling my name today. I only pray that they all three overlap...at least a little.

[London]

southernpeach89 I've had gas too, but it's actually all been internal. Which in some ways is worse, less embarrasing but REALLY uncomfortabe.

My biggest symptom today is nausea. As per my UO, I really really think it should be grounds for a sick day. It's horrible, and at only 5w4d I am worried it's just the beginning.

Period-like cramps. I've had them since before we found out and I know that it's supposed to be normal but they really freak me out.

I have spent half of my life knowing that when I get cramps like this I'm going to start bleeding at any point so having them know when I'm pregnant is a big mind fuck. I just can't seem to get my mind past it that it's normal and doesn't mean anything bad is happening. It doesn't help that none of my friends have them.

If it makes you feel better, lots of us have them - it is normal but very unsettling. Make sure you're drinking enough water. I notice mine are worse when I'm getting dehydrated.

Hugs. I had period-like cramps most of week 4. It then shifted into pretty constant tugs and pinches, and this week has really calmed down. I 100% get the mind fuck, it's like unteaching yourself everything you've learned. Hang in there, and trust that in the absence of bleeding or anything more severe your ute and it's new occupant are just figuring things out.

I had them too! I found out at 4+0 and had them probably through to 5+2 or so. I agree it is such a mind fuck, because I kept thinking my period was going to show up...but it didn't! Totally normal, and most of us had them!

[tsmith312]

I feel like I'm going to vomit on my computer screen .. I'm just not feeling it today. I'm wearing jeans and a sweat shirt to work .. Oh well I don't work on Fridays so technically this is my casual Friday .

[snakefisherbub]

I feel pretty good and honestly it makes me a little uneasy.

This right here is my least favourite symptom. Wishing you some queasy to feel less uneasy? (at least it rhymes)

[andtheheartbreakers]

I wish I could change it, but my husband is making me SO MAD. And it's so stupid but I just can't handle it! Normally we don't keep gluten, dairy, or sugar in the house and we're pretty strict on our diet/exercise. My husband was the most dedicated and would judge me anytime I wanted something bad. Now that I'm not feeling well we have cinnamon raison bread (because it's a good 2am snack), we have ginger ale for my upset stomach, crackers, sour ice breakers, and I had to buy a light roast coffee to be able to stomach coffee (we have TONS of starbucks k-cups that I can't drink anymore). My husband has been taking my coffee in the morning, he's been eating like 4 pieces of bread every day, he says he "deserves 1 ginger ale per day" and sits on the couch munching on the crackers. I don't know why it bugs me so much that these should be "my things" when I know full well they aren't "mine". My losing point was last night when I was so nauseous and was grabbing a sour ice breaker and he looks at me and says "where's mine?".

I snapped on him. I told him that the only reason we have these things in the house is because I feel like shit all the time. And if he's eating all of them then it just makes me need to tough it out and go out grocery shopping more frequently, which I have a hard time with. I don't know why in my mind these things are all mine....I never ever ever used to have this kind of mentality and I wish so bad I could get over it....

TL;DR - I have a bad attitude lately, and I'm going crazy.

Other than that, my boobs hurt like death and the nausea is hitting me hard. I spent my whole morning dry heaving.

[estakis]

I still don't have anything going on. Cramping stopped a couple of days ago, as did the bloating. I was a little ragey towards DH last night but I felt justified, so there. I'm trying not to think about the lack of symptoms as I know I'm still really early on. So, for now I'll be thankful I feel pretty good, I'll remind myself of today when I'm puking my brains out in the near future.

Also, I'm obsessing about how to hide the no-alcohol thing. We have friends that we always get together with to drink craft beers at local breweries. They want to go out this weekend to try a new place. I'm trying to figure out how to pull this off. Maybe DH and I can order the same beer, set the glasses next to each other and have DH drink both on the sly? I'll occasionally put a glass to my mouth? No one will be looking that close, right?! Or, my back up plan is to not drink at all, tell them I'm undergoing assessment/treatment for heart palpitations and my doc has told me not to drink. That's only sort of a lie, I did undergo assessment for heart palpitations last year, I don't think people would ask too many questions. Ahhh, I suck at lying.

Like I posted in my other thread, no symptoms. Although, I can't seem to stay full today, which is a 180 from yesterday when I didn't fee like eating at all. I wish my body would make up its mind and be predictable dammit.
Also, I've been craving green grapes. I think because they are sweet and somewhat refreshing. I could also really go for some fruity froyo, which is what I craved my last pregnancy.

[charliefox]

I woke up this morning feeling GREAT compared to the last 2 weeks. It's freaking me out. My boobs are only slightly sore and my nausea is almost non-existent. I'm 6w3d and my symptoms stopped around 6w5d last time and I started spotting at 7w exactly.

Obviously, I'm glad to not be a totally nauseous zombie this morning but my PgAL brain is freakin' the eff out.

[tngrl3]

I had the slightest bit of spotting this morning after using the bathroom a d so of course I'm feaking out. I just want to Kay on the couch as I'm exhausted but instead I'm working 12 hours in the ER.

[BookishMomma]

Dry gagging at every food smell. Not wanting to eat anything until I decide on the one and only thing I absolutely have to have.

[dorkymama]

I still haven't had time to go to Target to get bras. Monday-Wednesday I wore a sports bra under my shirt. Today I'm just wearing a camisole with a built-in shelf bra. I would very much like my boobs to not grow anymore, thanks.

I've had nausea all morning and struggled to make it through our big meeting with the President and CEO at work today. I also had super-pregnancy-brain at one point and completely misspoke and sounded like a fucking idiot.

These freaked me out because I don't remember having them with DD, but they stopped just shy of 6w for me.  

[allycat]

Sore boobs, tired, and started feeling a bit queasy this morning. I'm so typical.

[sdfonz619]

No nightmares last night or even dreams that I can remember. Still nauseous but can't get my mind off Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits so I'm off to the store to pick some up!

[healz413]

My boobs and nipples were the first symptoms I had starting 3.5 weeks ago. They both grew noticeably. Now at 7w2d they're getting quite sore again. Good times.

Nausea is kicking it up some. Haven't vomited yet but did gag when I was out with the dog this morning.

Last night when manada came to bed and I'd already been asleep, she was treated to a fun symptom-- burping and lots of it. On and off for a quite a while until I could fall back to sleep.

And tiredness. I feel like I could sleep any time any place.

[lilo]

Nausea is here is full force. It is the all day kind. Woke up with DD at 5:50 this morning and thought for sure I was going to throw up...but alas, nothing. Other than that, I'm just exhausted all the time, have some mild acne, and sore boobs. Broke out my maternity bras this morning and it was glorious.

((hugs)) I know that can be scary, too! Hopefully after your first appointment you'll just be able to feel lucky. I had very few symptoms other than fatigue with DS and he was perfect!

[txshep]

I swear my morning sickness is... umm... coming out the wrong end. I hate to complain about it though because I can certainly handle that better than I can handle throwing up. It's like clockwork every morning. I'm exactly 7 weeks today, so I keep waiting for the vomiting to show up, but each day that it doesn't I am SO thankful. Definitely have the random nausea, but luckily it tends to be worse at night once I'm home from work.

I'm at maximum capacity on my bras, and wake myself by rolling over onto my own boobs, so I need to suck it up and do some bra shopping this coming weekend.

[nyhoneybee]

I feel pretty good today. A little nausea but it's fairly mild right now and I'm more awake than I've been in days. I suspect having a good dr. visit yesterday might have something to do with feeling a bit perkier today. I've had some soreness/stiffness lately but I'm pretty certain that's my RA acting up as I'm almost totally off prednisone now and doesn't have anything to do with the pregnancy.
