~~Monday Symptoms~~

[hollandmama]

Tell me all about them ladies

[hollandmama]

I'm only exhausted... I have been sleeping 8+ hours per night + 1-2 hour nap on most days AND I'm sleepy all the time. DH has been a hero! He has been taking over night duty with DS for a week now so I can sleep... "I'll take care of the nights, don't worry... you're making a baby"

I have been slightly bloated in the evenings but apart from that everything is too normal, I'm getting anxious for the first appt because the lack of MS is freaking me out :/

[expatmama11]

No energy and all day nausea. Still not vomiting so I'm trying to consider myself lucky but still feeling pretty miserable.

[Deleted]

My boobs are still quite sore, and I'm very gassy. I have some mild cramping once in a while. I haven't been eating any more or less than normal but when I eat, I get full super fast. That's about it at this point. I know it's still early, but like hollandmama said, I kind of wish I had the traditional m/s so to remind me that everything's okay (if I end up with bad m/s in the next few weeks I know I'll regret saying that!).

Next appointment is Wednesday! I hope we are able to see a little something on the ultrasound.

I'm okay. I'm tired, bloated, and have some on and off nausea. I also hold my boobs coming down stairs because they just perpetually hurt at this point. I feel hungry all the time too. I haven't changed my eating any at this point, but I am still hungry like 99% of the day.

[jtizzay]

All this talk of symptoms has me second guessing. I am tired (but we just moved so tired could be that). Def stomach crampy ness and bloating. I'm just shy of 5 weeks so no real m/s.
Fwiw m/s I think tends to show its head week6!

[expatmama11]

I felt great until I hit my 6 week mark and since then the nausea has been in full swing.

[hollandmama]

Oh no, I hit 6w tomorrow so FX I don't get MS...

anyways, I forgot to mention I'm not more hungry but I'm eating a bit more, good thing I crave quite healthy stuff so I'm just happy I'm getting all those vits for LO

expatmama11, @littleliverpill, sorry about the nausea, I know it's HORRIBLE! I spent my first tri last time traveling a lot which meant eating in restaurants which for me was torture! All the smells and not being able to just cook the only thing I wanted a that exact moment.

btw, greetings from the Czech Republic! I'm here for the entire week eating very unhealthy and heavy stuff :/ FX I don't get MS tomorrow

next week I'm off to UK, where food is a bit more normal

[littlebee26]

Exhausted but I can't sleep at night. Nausea seems to be increasing, bloating a lot, especially at the end of the day.

[hollandmama]

btw, when I love tit your nausea is not because I love it but it's more like a support tit

Every day the nausea is worse than the day before and is particularly bad in the mornings. I've come close to vomiting a few times but haven't yet. Everything smells pungent.

Napping and 9:30 bedtime are my award-winning skills at the moment. Also holding my boobs while I go up and down stairs.

Pregnancy is weird.

Have you been able to eat anything? I'm sitting here knowing I need to eat but everything sounds and smells horrible. Crackers are my new best friend but I know I need some real food.

I think I survived on crackers and gatorade for a while last time around, it's all about surviving hehe have you tried granola bars? like natural, not full of dry fruits (those made me nauseous last time)

[towerclimberswife]

I feel like I'm riding the line with nausea. I was trying to figure out how to describe how I feel to DH. I said it is kind of a cross between motion sickness and a hangover. Not ready to throw up yet, just feeling off. Today is my first day back to work since finding out about my BFP. I'm a marriage and family therapist, so we will see how well I can focus on my clients, since I've been able to focus on myself during this vacation time.

Boobs are sore beyond belief. Nothing helps. Taking my bra off at night is the worst.

On a more positive note - I've got an acupuncture appointment today and an appointment with my general care doctor who is a holistic dr. He won't do an ultrasound, but I think he will do a blood draw to test progesterone levels. I'm so excited! Plus I'll get my vitamin levels changed, so I'll know better what I should be taking. I love my Dr. I wish he could do my delivery!!!

[grinti]

Just had my first bout of dry heaving. Fun fun!

[cnf2013]

I'm feeling progressively more sick and tired as the morning wears on. I want so badly to be in my bed. I'm super sore and stiff from my race yesterday too, so lots of hobbling and moaning going on.

I'm trying to decide how much I feel like taking tomorrow off to spend the in bed. I already need Friday off for my appointment. Guess I'll make that decision before I leave today and feel out how the rest of my day goes.

[PaperRing]

I'm so tired. There isn't enough sleep in the world I took 2 naps Saturday and 1 yesterday. Today I work so hopefully I don't fall asleep at my desk. I feel crampy and have had small bouts of nausea this morning.

[physiomeg]

You guys....the nausea is bad. I've only thrown up once, but I've been by the toilet breathing my way through multiple episodes. This weekend has definitely been the worst and now I'm worried about working today. I tend to feel better when I'm just sitting, and that's not really an option at work. Wish me luck today!

[crinita]

Hugs to everyone with nausea and m/s. FWIW last time mine peaked between 8 and 16 weeks. It truly, truly stinks so freaking bad!

[alinafed]

Not too much yet to be honest... My stomach is a bit off and I'm starting to get queasy but im not six weeks yet and I don't think I had many symptoms this early with DS either. Oh and heart palpitations, I always get those. A bit paranoid that I don't have more symptoms but I'm getting another blood draw today so we will see if HCG is still going up! last week went from 81 to 199 in two days so doubling time of 36 hours

[PinkShoesGal]

Puking my guts out. The mornings and evenings are the worst. I go to bed as early as possible because sleeping is the only time I don't feel nauseous. My bloat is out of control. This is my third pregnancy and I am struggling to hide my bloated belly. The exhaustion is still hanging around and I'm still have crazy dreams.

[NatalieDavid]

I'm so anxious today... I woke up last night to go to the bathroom and I was spotting. It was bright red blood and more than just a few drops. Nothing this morning but I'm praying I can get into the doctor first thing this morning to make sure everything is ok. I spent the night on google and that really doesn't help me calm down at all. I feel sick but I don't know if it's morning sickness or being worried that something bad is happening.

[expatmama11]

I hope you get into your dr and everything checks out okay NatalieDavid,

[evenkeeled]

Goodness, you poor people! I am doing okay, some days far better than others. Definitely there on the boobs. I have woken up because I am trying to sleep on my stomach and they are mashed and then hurting. That part stinks. Nauseous but more dizzy at times. Nauseous this morning but making sure I drink water. Dairy foods help me so I am eating cottage cheese for breakfast now. Definitely bloated, have been consistently since going on Endometrin and del estrogen.

I felt GREAT on Saturday. Less so Sunday and today. Today definitely feeling nauseous at work and trying to ignore it. Tired but then I get up at 4:45am on week days so I am always tired so used to it. Going to bed a little earlier now as well but no napping.

Smells are killing me. That part is crazy.

[13liza]

I have some pretty bad nausea this morning and I am so hungry. I really just want to stay in bed today.

[tromeo]

Morning ladies! NatalieDavid, I'm thinking of you and FX everything checks out okay!

I'm not feeling much of anything but cramping, which has me way nervous. This is my first time around so I have NO idea what to expect. My boobs are still somewhat sore, but not like they were last week. I'm just trying to go with the flow. I'm still WAY early on here, I know that. And many of you have said that symptoms didn't really start until 6 weeks. Is that a general consensus? I guess I'm just confused that my boobs hurt more before and now hurt less but with more cramping. The cramps have me weirded out. Calling the MW today to set up the first appt

[PaperRing]

@nataliedavid fx crossed. Keep us updated. I hope everything checks out fine.

It seems the nausea is terrible for most today. Hugs to you all!

tromeo the cramping early is normal. All of us have pretty much had it. It should ease up in a week or two

Thank you.  I have so much to learn and have had no time to hit the books.  I'll shut up now!

No need to shut up! Your feelings and concerns are totally valid. We have a good mix of FTM and BTDT moms on here, so definitely speak up

[expatmama11]

tromeo, I had cramping on and off from about weeks 4-6. Once that was gone it was replaced with all day nausea.

My boobs have never been really sore. They are a bit tender but nothing like most of the other ladies are describing.
