I'm exhausted...and other symptoms

[blanche]

Ugh, I feel like I got hit with a ton of bricks right now. I may go to bed early for the first time in a long long long time (I usually go to bed around 11pm!). 

My boobs hurt. My head hurts. 

When does pregnancy become fun?

Also I stupidly stepped on a scale today. I should not be gaining weight already. Uggggggh.

[teambrink]

It's still very early, but I can't seem to stop being hungry! I need to eat constantly. My stomach was rumbling so loudly during class the past two days, it was almost embarrassing.

[pickles4prez]

Swamp crotch, heartburn, fatigue, nausea and ravenously hungry. And lots of peeing. My boobs feel great though!

[countingthestars]

Add me to the dead tired,sore boobs, and constantly peeing list. I feel like I accomplish nothing because I'm so tired all the time.

[onyx]

I'm sure all of you know I've got massive ms, but have found I can freely eat fruits and veggies. I'm always hungry though. I've been exhausted all day but a total night owl. So here it is almost 9 and I just got back from working out and am now eating bananas. Oh, and I can't stop peeing either.

[onyx]

Feel better soon ladies!

[whatsit]

I'm very tired as well. My boobs still hurt but not nearly as much as they were. And the nausea... Ugh. Luckily the dr prescribed me diclectin on Tuesday and it seems to be helping.

I would eat an entire bag of oranges each week during my last pregnancy. I had extreme morning sickness for 11 weeks and oranges helped so much. I could also eat McDonald's fries and vanilla ice cream. I never once threw that up. I'm crossing my fingers that it stays away this time!

[teambrink]

Let me also add that I'm constantly thirsty. I woke up at 4 because I needed water. And since I'm always thirsty I pee what feels like every hour.

[ashleymarie26]

For me it's sore boobs, nausea that comes and goes, nothing too horrible yet for that. Also peeing all day every day. I'm pretty sure my coworkers probably think I've got food poisoning because I got to the bathroom so often haha. And extreme exhaustion! Proud to say munchkin and I went to bed at 7pm last night, ha!

[rztrumpet]

Exhaistion, food cravings/aversions, PMS-like bitchiness here.

With DD, I gained about 10lbs in the first month, then didn't really start gaining again until about 18-20 weeks in. I think it's the "if I don't eat, I'm nauseated" phase :-p

[ashleymarie26]

Do you guys have cramping too? I know it feels different than AF cramps, but each time I feel it I get terrified that I somehow got 10 positive tests that were wrong.

[teambrink]

I've had a little cramping and some discomfort on my left side. It has me slightly freaking out.

[ashleymarie26]

Yeah they are small cramps.... almost feel like stretching. I am trying to be sane, but until I hear a heartbeat I feel so nervous

Cramping is pretty normal, unless it's really painful. I'm the same way. I told my husband until I hear a heartbeat and know everything is okay I'm worried. I think waiting to hear the heartbeat is worse than all the symptoms.

I've had a couple waves of nausea, but nothing bad yet. Fatigue for sure. And bloat like whoa.
Peeing a ton, of course.
Though, feeling waves of nausea makes me "feel better" in a way, that things are progressing... And it makes me a tiny bit less nervous for my u/s on the 13th.

I have to keep reminding myself that nausea means progesterone and that things are going right. Makes it a bit easier to handle. My doctor prescribe me some medication but I'm not taking it until it's uncontrollable.

I'm glad someone posted about symptoms!! I am way crampier than I expected to be, very pms like. As long as it's bearable and there's no blood I guess it's okay. I've taken Tylenol a couple of times though. Aside from that I'm very gassy which I think is part of the cramping problem, hungrier than usual, pretty lightheaded most of the time (may check blood pressure today), and my boobs are pretty sore. Oh, and bloating.. I'm avoiding the scale. Haven't had much nausea. Super tired all day though.

Hang in there everyone!! My first appointment isn't until St. Patrick's day, how about y'all?

[blanche]

I'm getting intermittent sharp pains on my right side. Yesterday I sneezed while I was driving and it really hurt my side. But it's far from constant and only happens a few times a day, so I'm assuming all is fine.

Yep, I think mild cramping/bloating is to be expected.  Mine is 3/30

[ashleymarie26]

Less nausea for me today. Being pregnant is a total mind fuck. Instead of being happy that I can eat my breakfast, I'm freaking out because "shouldn't I be feeling more nausea!?" My brain is getting the best of me, ha. I also feel super out of it- like I'm forgetting things 5 seconds after I start them.

[flyliceandcoffee]

I'm joining the "I'll probably pass out any minute I'm so tired club". If I drink too much water at one time I feel a gaggy but luckily it hasn't gotten bad yet. I've got insane crazy nose a good portion of the time (I woke up in the middle of the night last night because I could smell the heater). And yeah like a lot of you guys, random episodes of mild cramping, mostly on the left side...

[USCgirl]

I don't remember too much with my first, but this time the heart palpitations are out if control! Peering a ton and hungry are my two other fun symptoms. I also get weird cramps that feel like O pain. I am waiting for the nasty nausea to rear her ugly head any day now. Wishing us all easy first trimesters! First appt is on Mar. 30 like snoris.

[onyx]

flyliceandcoffee, all the smells are killing me. I never realized how much in this world I did not want to smell. I feel like I have a super nose. Yesterday my little sister had way too much perfume on and I was like:

[beaming]

I've been cramping on and off. Even though in my head I know it's normal it still really freaks me out and with the extra discharge I'm constantly expecting to see blood. Can't wait until the 1st trimester mindfuck is over. And the exhaustion has hit here too. I took a nap with DS today which I never do! Nothing getting done today, obviously.

[mtnmomma13]

I am convinced I've got some round ligament pain going on already. Which sucks.

[flyliceandcoffee]

onyx, perfume drives me crazy! I have a really good sense of smell when I'm not pregnant so now it's just ridiculous. I was smelling pee on the sidewalks here, and it's snowing. nobody should be able to smell that in the rain and snow!

[onyx]

flyliceandcoffee, I was working out last night and could smell sweat from the only other girl in the room and she was all the way on the other side. Usually this place has no smell because they keep it super clean in there and not many people use it. I can also smell my cats' litter box the moment they use it. I can smell my neighbors cooking, which has usually made me nauseous because a lot of foods gross me out lately. It's awful.

[teambrink]

Smells are a big issue for me too right now. I really can't stand the smell of chicken. I'm not too surprised considering I'm a pescatarian, but I can usually deal with smelling meat, I just don't eat it.

[forevermyfenix]

I'm getting weird lower back soreness. I expect that later on in the pregnancy when I'm toting around a few extra lbs, but this early?
