Thursday Symptom Check-In

[dazdareis]

How far along are you today and how're you feeling? Are symptoms getting stronger or are they fading in and out?

[dazdareis]

Today I'm 5w5d. A little bit of nausea, still can't sleep.

But I now finally understand "swamp crotch". I thought you all were crazy, up until this morning...

[onyx]

I'm 4 weeks 5 days. Still super fatigued, brushing my teeth makes me throw up now, and my boobs hurt. I also pee way too frequently! I'm a big ball of emotions.

My poor husband wanted to take me to breakfast this morning, in hopes that it would make me feel better. I ate like three bites before I was ready to leave. It's the thought that counts, but for now it's crackers for me.

[ashleymarie26]

I'm exactly 5w today. Coming down with a horrible cold, so that sucks. Other than that, no nausea yet today. Tired but I didn't sleep well last night (from the cold). Swamp crotch, and my boobs are getting more sore each day.

[mtnmomma13]

5w3d and I got crazy nauseated this morning. Not sure if it's from preg or the massive amts of post nasal drip going on. I ate some breakfast but am still feeling not well...I hope this is just a transient thing.

[brightmidnight]

I'm 5w2d and feeling very tired and blah.. Not as nauseated as yesterday, but it's still here. It seems to be hitting earlier each day. My boobs hurt and everything makes me want to cry. My dreams are getting really weird and vivid as well.

[lycih]

5w5d... I feel really "normal" today... so I'm trying not to freak out about that, lol.
I am still really bloated, and TMI, still have rabbit poops so I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about and just a random reprieve from the exhaustion/nausea/cramps.

[themrsjrd]

5w2d today. Feeling okay. Boobs are still sore. Been gassy. Oh, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I did feel a bit nauseated but was fine when I woke up for real.

I don't feel like my symptoms are getting stronger, really, but they are kind of constant so I'll just take that as a good sign.

Edited to add bloating.... I don't know how I keep forgetting that but a lot of my pants are uncomfortable around my waist from the bloating.

Edited again to add exhaustion and obvious forgetfulness I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing because I can't remember anything!

[vlinder]

5w3d. A smidge of nausea now and then. Sore boobs and bloated are pretty constant. Exhaustion comes and goes. I haven't really had a glass of milk in ages and I'm about to go get my second one of the day.

[mtnmomma13]

ashleymarie26 just a word of advice from a fellow cold sufferer. Depending on how severe your congestion is, my OB said I could take sudafed (the plain stuff behind the counter) with Tylenol. I fought taking drugs for about 24 hrs, gave in last night, and am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. You could call your OB to verify, but thats what mine said Feel better!

[ashleymarie26]

mtnmomma13 thanks for the advice! Definitely worth calling as I'm pretty miserable!

[dazdareis]

I forgot to add: worst. Heartburn. Ever. I've already taken Zantac, no help. Going to try to see if I can find something better.

[blanche]

Fellow cold sufferer here. I've heard that part of this might be "pregnancy rhinitis," which, if true, I might kick something. I hate not being able to breathe!

No other symptoms really, which is a bit weird, but maybe I'm so focused on my stupid nose I'm ignoring everything else.

ETA: I'm 5 weeks today! woohoo

Oh and also, I'm popping out of my bra today. My boobs really don't need to get bigger...I'm already a DD! My mom grew 2 full cup sizes when she had and breastfed me. I'm not looking forward to that...

[kbrooke06]

I'm 5 weeks today!

blanche I'm totally with you on not needing bigger boobs, fellow DD here. I had to hunt for xl sport bras yesterday as I'm not fitting in my regular ones anymore. So sad!

I'm exhausted even after getting 9+ hours of sleep at night. Haven't been naseous yet, thankfully. Still feeling crampy/twinges. Also, really bloated from the progesterone shots I have to do each night.

[oddbird]

Not too many symptoms here, or at least not ones that are particularly annoying. Thirsty all the time, and lots of vivid dreams. I keep dreaming about trains, for some reason.

[PonyGirl]

Starting to pee more frequent. Getting up during the night to pee and I don't do that, or at least hardly ever, and I've got up the last 3 nights. My boobs are more sore at night, than during the day. Still nauseous, but not throwing up.

Is anybody's stomach hurting? Not like cramps or nauseous, but kinda like you're sore after you workout hard. I notice it around my ribs.

Yes! My 'abs' are killing me. Left side, behind my belly button I'm thinking round ligament pain.

As long as I'm not alone that makes me feel a little better!

Hi ladies!

I'm 5 weeks today!

Boobs still sore. Tummy has felt ok so far today, but it usually gets a little icky in the afternoons/evenings. A little bloated but not as bad as I've had before.

Oh, and I've noticed my appetite is less than normal. Last night with my icky tummy I only had saltines and tea. It's not nausea, just kind of icky.

4 weeks, 5 days (Twins onyx!)

Sore, full breasts, on and off mild cramping/aching in lower abdomen are my main ones. Oh and trouble sleeping too.

Last night the dreams were pretty wild. In one of them, I'm in my car, and I look over and suddenly realize that I'm the passenger and not the driver. The car is going faster and going off the road, and then I come to a crashing halt in the middle of a snowy field. I've been incredibly anxious, so I can't say I'm surprised about a dream where I'm not in control.

I am having very mild, passing nausea but fortunately no vomit yet.

[pantaloons55]

Bah, double post. Sorry!

I have trouble sleeping all night, but all day long I'm tired. It makes no sense.

[USCgirl]

5 weeks today too! Woo hoo, there are lots of us due Nov 5!

Sore nipples, waves of nausea, hungry, forgetful, peeing a ton, cramps on and off accompanied with a pulled muscle feeling if it turn the wrong way. Fun stuff! Oh yeah, still not sleeping well either, but vivid dreams.

[elliecat17]

4w6d. Lots of nausea coming and going. Sore lower abdomen. Exhaustion and headache. Sore nipples and lots of blue veins shoed up over night!!

[catinatophat]

4 weeks today! So far just exhaustion, bloating and some forgetfulness. Sometimes I think I feel nauseated but it passes so I'm not sure if it's MS or just from being so tired.

[flyliceandcoffee]

6w today. That "icky" feeling comes and goes, still haven't determined if there's a cause for it that I can eliminate or if it's just something I'll have to deal with. My sense of smell is off the charts, and I think I might have to start swearing off of all meats. Other than that, not doing too badly symptom wise here. Tired like everyone else, and definitely getting forgetful. I put the box of chicken broth in the fridge yesterday....

Exactly the same here. Its really annoying.

5w4d and mah bewbies HURT

[littleowl913]

I'm 4 weeks 2 days and my boobs are huge and sore! My eyes are dry and my vision is a little blurry, I'm exhausted, I'm super bloated, got swamp crotch and every once in a while I feel a little woozy. Not like I'm going to faint, just something not quite right.
