Week of 7/6 - Symptoms!

[sdchick]

adorebel, the nausea and puking sucks, but every time I nearly hurl I'm like, "YESSSSSSSSSS!" The things we do for our kids...

[isolemnlyswear]

How are you feeling today? Good, I had an easy pregnancy with DD and so far off to a good start with this one.

Any new symptoms popping up this week? No. Still crampy

How far along are you? 5w 3d

According to Dr. Google, how big is your baby? An Apple seed

GTKY: What did you do for the Fourth of July? We went three hours up north to my favorite little town on the lake Michigan. My whole family goes, parents and sister's family.

[fignewt]

How are you feeling today? Awful - tired and nauseous. I ate a piece of toast and I am full like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner. Boo

Any new symptoms popping up this week? Everything smells offensive, today it was a dollar bill that grossed me out. And nothing looks good to eat - how is there nothing in my entire kitchen that looks appetizing? I sent DH out for apples last night, and by the time he got home they looked gross to me too.

How far along are you? 5w6d

According to Dr. Google, how big is your baby? Pomegranate seed as of tomorrow.

GTKY: What did you do for the Fourth of July? Had a visit from my brother and his three kids. DH took DS1 to see fireworks.

Great! Just finished a run so I'm pumped.

Any new symptoms popping up this week?
I get eye styes constantly when pregnant and I believe I just saw one popping up when I looked in the mirror.
Bleah. But other than that nothing.

How far along are you?
Somewhere between 4-5 weeks.

According to Dr. Google, how big is your baby?
Same as everyone else?

GTKY: What did you do for the Fourth of July?
Went to a potluck at church, then went home before the fireworks got too crazy to put DS to bed.

Actually, there are already three weeks of difference on the board, so we have Poppy Seeds, Apple Seeds, and Lentils. 

Judging by your timing, you're around a poppy seed. 

[tacocatmom]

How are you feeling today? So tired.

Any new symptoms popping up this week? Nope feel pretty regular

How far along are you? 6 weeks I think

According to Dr. Google, how big is your baby? Lentil

GTKY: What did you do for the Fourth of July? Pretend to drink all weekend. Not fun to pretend.

[zombiesquad]

Anyone mention gas as a new symptom this week or is it just me?

[jtizzay]

Pockets with my dd I had a 99 fever the entire first and second tri awesome. I am 3w6d -and so hot I am sure it's the same.

Symptoms- hot hot hot and tired. Is it possible to be tired so early???

Gtky: hung out. I hate fireworks.

My cramps are really much worse today. I know it's normal, but It makes me so nervous. I'm trying to stay calm, I already have taken two pregnancy tests today, just to make sure. I feel like making it to this weekend and actually not getting a period will make me feel better.

[Deleted]

Feeling all the nausea! Last time I was nauseated 24/7 from basically conception to 14 weeks.

Constipation? But I have been traveling and eating crap so who knows.

3w 4d

Almost a poppy seed

We just got back from a week in Grand Cayman and had an awesome 4th party at the resort we stayed at!

So I actually think the "cramps" are more from constipation. So that's a new symptom. I think it's probably because I have mostly given up coffee. I feel a little better, worry wise, that is.

[jtizzay]

Also how is it possible to be gaggy already. Breakfast was so hard to get down. Just toast and eggs! I had horrible horrible ms from week 5 through week 22 last time and just don't think I can do it. I was on zofran the entire time (dd is perfect) but wouldn't take it now I don't think. It was my miracle

Sorry to sound buzz kill I'm just kind of panicking because I'm traveling for work and can't puke!

I'm gaggy too - from smells, things that look gross, thinking about gross things, flossing...

I haven't puked yet but If the cat throws up I'm a goner.

Omg flossing. Totally. It's so weird huh? I'm trying to flip it to positive. But that's hard!

I have been cramping too. It's actually why I kept putting off testing thinking AF was about to start. I had my betas drawn yesterday and will have them drawn again Thursday so I think I will feel better after that. I'm just having them drawn because my doctors office does it for everyone, then first appointment will be around week 8.

[jewel441]

Well this morning FF told me to stop charting, lol. I have still been temping, I think I will probably keep it up through this weekend, because then my period will really be "late" (and hopefully staying away for a long time).

Last night I tried to eat a piece of chocolate and started dry heaving. It was super weird. That is an un-fun aversion.

[readinglove]

How are you feeling today? Tired, unsettled tummy, and my abdomen feels very full.

Any new symptoms popping up this week? Everything is "new" this week. Boobs started hurting last night. I've been crampy, which is making me batty. I know it's normal, but it's probably the toughest symptom to deal with.

How far along are you? 3+5

According to Dr. Google, how big is your baby? Right around a poppy seed.

GTKY: What did you do for the Fourth of July? Went to a friend's house for a cookout and ate yummy food.

I went to bed at 7:56pm last night. Like, to sleep.

It.
Was.
Glorious.

I slept for eleven fucking hours last night and I'm currently forcing my eyes open and seriously considering a car nap.

reading this made me yawn. You should totally car nap.

[cinnamonsmiles]

Oh hey there fatigue, you weren't around the first time, so I wasn't expecting you.
But hopefully DS takes a great nap so that I can too?

Thanks jtizzay,. That's very reassuring. I don't feel feverish today so I have convinced myself to stop obsessively taking my temperature (also somehow managed to lose my thermometer, does forgetfulness count as a pregnancy symptom?)

Lol for me it came and went but I ran hot. I had a march baby last time and routinely went without a coat in the winter because I was just so hot. The first time this past winter that I was cold I was so elated!!!

Anyone else w crazy insomnia? I have been having a terrible time. I crash early and then at 2-3 am I toss and turn and am so uncomfortable. Tonight I am going to keep earbuds by the bed and try an audio book if it happens

Yes that's exactly how I have been. I need to get black out curtains for our room too. I've been needing to do that for a while.

Not insomnia, but yes, I fall asleep at 10 am and wake up at 5 am and can't get back to sleep. My heart is pounding pretty much all the time. That's how I knew to take a pregnancy test!

[jewel441]

I feel like every night I sleep a little bit worse. At first I was just waking up at like 5/530 having to pee so bad, then it was lie 330. Last night I was up at 1 and 330 to pee, and then at 530 I was so hungry I couldn't possibly go back to sleep. So I had a bowl of cereal, then I was so tired, so I went back to sleep for a few more hours. I just feel super blah today now. My cramping has gotten much milder on the plus side, so I am not freaking out about that anymore, also my Wondfos are getting much darker, so yay for that too.

I haven't really had any emotional changes/symptoms yet, but I have a reputation for being moody already. H said to me last night, he thinks I won't be so bad emotionally bc I am already like that, so it will just seem normal or maybe a little bit more extreme. lol, thanks for that, I do hope he is right though.

Ok so I don't know if this is pregnancy related or not, but holy dandruff. My head is so itchy. I just coated my head in olive oil. I think I might need to find a different shampoo/conditioner.

I legit almost came on here to bitch about this at about 2:30 this morning.

Mine is the opposite - super greasy like ten seconds after washing it!

When I was pregnant with #2 I had to switch to the Head and Shoulders Rx strength in the blue bottle because my head itched so badly! My hair was still greasy but my head was soooo itchy.

I'm also sleeping really poorly. When I do sleep I have wacky dreams.

I am taking my olive oil head to go get a hair cut today. My hair is so long right now, it's become a little unmanageable. I will also stop using this spray I have been using and see if that helps.
