Symptom check?

[CattyNattyRN]

So I feel like the only one here who hasn't had a visit and ultrasound yet, and I'm just a smidge nervous. Soo everyone should tell me their symptoms so I can think about all the ways that indicate I am, in fact, pregnant!  

[Ruca]

No ultrasound for me either, boo! Not until 11/11. Anywho I've got some nausea, constipation, dizziness, sore boobs, strong sense of smell, moodiness... All of these come and go. Some times I actually feel decent

[CattyNattyRN]

Basically I feel a little bit of an uneasy stomach, not really nausea. I'm feeling emotional, my boobs are tender. I still feel some RLP when I sneeze or cough. And heartburn. Lots of heartburn! My intake appointment is the 15th, but the actual Dr's visit is the 20th, and that's where I'm expecting to see an us.

According to FF my top 10 symptoms are nausea, morning sickness, RLS (has gotten worse since being pregnant), food aversions, increased sense of smell, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, heartburn, and breast tenderness.

[shadesofgold]

The last two weeks have been incredibly strong food aversions, fluctuating levels of nausea but no puking yet, fatigue, heightened sense of smell, boob pain and increased size, mild constipation, frequent urination... I wouldn't be worried just because you aren't in full morning sickness mode, a lot of women don't experience it, so they say.

[o2girl]

I've had very transient symptoms all along. My boobs hurt intermittently, nausea comes and goes, headaches come and go.....

The only consistent symptom I've had, has been exhaustion. Other than that I feel completely, normal.

How far along are you now? (I might have missed that, pregnancy brain is real)

[CattyNattyRN]

o2girl, 8 weeks today. I am exhausted too, but I have a super full schedule. Mostly, I'm just curious about people who have seen a hb's symptoms to back up my own, if that makes sense?

[snoris]

Besides the nausea/puking everything else comes and goes... read: you're doing great CattyNattyRN

[emc]

Welp. I'm still puking at least a few times a day, so that's my biggest symptom. Other symptoms include sore boobs, crazy emotions, and peeing a lot.

[emc]

My first appointment isn't for another week and a half.

well, what are you experiencing? Seriously, anything feel out of sorts?

Honestly, I think it is completely normal to not have many symptoms. If it wasn't for my near weekly u/s's I wouldn't even think I was pregnant.

[CattyNattyRN]

o2girl, yeah, I posted above. I've got tender breasts, sometimes painful even. I have an uneasy feeling stomach (though no real nausea), RLP when I sneeze or cough, and I'm feeling emotional and tired! I just wanted to know op's symptoms and see how they lined up with my own; especially people who've seen the HB.

oops I missed that in the thread

My breasts were super tender for awhile, then they stopped hurting altogether. Now they ache a bit and my nips are super sensitive. I've only had an uneasy stomach... Like super mild nausea. I only had one episode of vomiting. I would tell you to pick up a Doppler, but you are still too early for that. I completely understand how only having questionable symptoms messes with the mind. But, your symptoms sound pretty lined up with mine... And I'll be 10w tomorrow! So with that said..... I have all the confidence that you are good!

Can you sneak a little peek at work with an abdominal u/s? I did the last time I was pregnant.... Shhhhhh

[CattyNattyRN]

o2girl, We do have one, but I have NO IDEA how to use it! Now I'm tempted to try and figure it out!!! Thats a great idea!!!

dang it! If I knew what kind you have I might be able to walk you through it..... Or, do you know anyone who does know how to work it?

[twocents6708]

I don't go to the dr until 11/6 so I am in a similar boat. I am actually a little worried about my lack of symptoms. So far I have had some mild nausea and food aversions, a little heartburn, some insomnia, and have to pee more. The only consistent symptom this far has been sore boobs, which have improved a bit the past few days but is still noticeable. Compared to my last miserably ill pregnancy, this is a huge difference!

[ellesea]

For the most part my symptoms are very mild. Mild nausea, gagging and hunger all the time. I don't even have sore boobs this time around. I have my first appointment on Wednesday, but I likely won't have an u/s until 20 weeks.

[CattyNattyRN]

o2girl, to be honest, I think I'd be a little freaked to find out about a loss at work. So maybe once we for sure hear hb I'll hit you up on that offer!!

And twocents6708, it's so hard waiting for these appointments!

[westiemom]

Food aversions, back pain, cramps, exhaustion/insomnia, RLS, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, creamy discharge, frequent urination, moody. I only puked once.

i get it!

[rnmommy]

My first appointment and ultrasound are Monday. I've had 2 losses in a row this year so I'm nervous as hell. I get waves of nausea, generally have a lack of appetite, I'm thirstier than usual, pee more, wake up at night to pee, I'm exhausted almost all the time, but when I wake at night it takes me an hour to get back to sleep, I have tingly boobs, but not sore. With my loss in May I went to the doctor before my 1st appointment because I had some spotting. I was 6.5 weeks and the doctor asked me if I was having symptoms, if my breasts were sore. They weren't and they're not now so that's scary for me. I'm trying to remember when my boobs started hurting with my previous 3 babies, but I have no clue. Baby #1 was a surprise and I didn't know I was pregnant almost until my 2nd missed period, so I think my boobs didn't hurt that early with her.

H&H 9 months to all of us!!

[starfishy]

Nausea, gagging, utter exhaustion, but then I can't get back to sleep when I wake up to pee at night. Food aversions to all food. Sore nipples (the actual boob is fine) and they are ha-uge! Some skin breakouts. I also grow these little baby hairs on my hair line. Just like a did in puberty!
And my new symptom is my congestion, paired with bloody noses. Yeah! Rhinitis of pregnancy. My nose is raw inside and out and hurts so bad.
Tomorrow is picture day at school. I'm gonna look awful!!!

For those with constipation, any helpful remedies you'd like to share??

Take Colace (docusate sodium) twice a day. It's a stool softener so it won't make you poop, but it will make it softer when you do. It's over the counter and safe to take during pregnancy.

[fishbulb]

Nausea and food aversions here but no puking. My boobs have never been sore from pregnancy, though nursing is getting a little uncomfortable. My biggest symptom has been exhaustion. I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. I also pee at least 3-4 Times each night.

[helloerrbody]

Waking up in the night to pee is my main one. And I'm really fracking hungry. I only get nauseous if my stomach is super empty. My boobs are a tad sore and MH says they're definitely bigger lol. I'm a bit more tired than normal but not anything drastic. Weird ute stretching sensations every once in awhile.

[tincupchalice]

First appt isn't till Wednesday, but I'm a little queasy sometimes and nursing hurts bad.

[summerdonna]

I'm still exhausted and have nausea mostly at night. There have been a few days that I feel nauseous all day but still haven't thrown up. Peeing a lot for sure. One night last week I woke up five times to pee. Not a good time and it'll only get worse from here!

[rnmommy]

I forgot to say that I can smell everything. Super sniffer right here.
