wicked22, that sounds horrible on so many levels. I hope you feel better soon.

Does anyone else notice a pattern of boob pain throughout the day? They are normally fine in the morning and early afternoon (yesterday I was freaking out because they didn't hurt at all), and then by night time it hurts to take off my bra/can't sleep on my stomach because my boobs hurt so much.

Still not real nauseous and can eat most things I used to. The exhaustion is out of control though. I want to work out but I just.can't. The thought of going running after work makes me want to cry. I might try your advice of mornings, tkford216 (but that's SOOO EARLY).

I'm the same on boob and nausea front! (See above post I was getting worried earlier)

Yeah, I hit 6 weeks yesterday and still no MS. I sometimes feel a little gross after I eat, but that's it. Boobs still hurt a lot (like, when I walk and they are A cups, so it's not like there's even that much there to bounce). I also have thick white CM—anyone else have that? Not sure if it's a pregnancy thing or because of the progesterone caplets I have to shove up there. 

Oh, and liquids go right through me now. So that's fun. 

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and still haven't really felt much either, aside from a few isolated incidents. While I know I shouldn't complain and should enjoy it, I'm kind of crazy and would appreciate any reassurance I could get. I'm putting a lot of stock into my heavy boobs and exhaustion.

Lots of CM, and of all kinds for me depending on the day. Some days are heavier than others. 
+1 to peeing, too

[musicalsilver]

I didn't start having any puking incidences until right after 6 weeks last time around, so there's still plenty of time ladies!

Hitting 6 weeks today has made me nervous for that reason. I have such fond memories of puking into bushes while walking my dogs in the morning ...

Nap earlier if you can. I find that if I can sneak in a nap (while DH is driving even) I feel so much better and can last a little later. My days are really work, eat, sleep right now. I try to exercise a few days a week, but its really tough to get motivated.

Unfortunately I'll be with the bride from 9:00am on, no breaks. I think I'm just going to have to learn how to sleep with my eyes open. 

And I totally hear you on the exercise. I have to do it in the morning because by the end of the day I'm too bloated. But I can't get up early enough in the mornings. 

are you comfortable enough telling the bride you're pregnant and need a few quick recharge breaks? like 15-20  minutes just to doze in a corner?

With her, it's probably best I just suck it up the best I can. She's a total blabbermouth and will probably get way too drunk at the reception, and she's a total bridezilla- I could see her being all "you're stealing my day." 

I'll deal with it. If it comes down to it, I'll just sneak out early and hope she doesn't notice. "Oh, sorry, I was on the dance floor. Didn't you see me?"  Or I'll fake sick. Whatever. This is the friend who tried to sleep with my uncle a few years ago, so I'm not overly attached to her. Hahaha.

^That's exactly what I did when I read that.

Hahaha, yea....

Some years back she got divorced and became really interested in my uncle. He was either too dumb to understand what she was doing or maybe liked the flirting.. I don't know, I don't want to know. He had a girlfriend at the time. She asked me one night if I would mind if she dated him. Um, yes? Stay the fuck away. (We were already a little rocky at this point.) But she tried anyway. She went around to his gigs (he's in a band) and got acquainted with his circle of friends, went to jam sessions at his house, etc. I had already gotten pretty ragey towards her at this point. Then one morning she texted me (after she had gotten "too drunk to drive home" and spent the night on his couch after everyone else left) saying "I think he would have slept with me if his girlfriend wasn't there." So, that was the end of that. I bitched her out and we didn't talk for a year. Eventually we reconnected, not to the same closeness we used to have, and she stood up in my wedding (we needed another girl..) so now I'm in hers.

I know, I should have never reconnected. But it is what it is at this point.



ETA: I feel like I've taken over this thread.. not my intention. Someone else speak!

Okay I seriously think I jinxed myself with my earlier post about "symptoms being mild" and blah, blah blah. That was barely two hours ago, and I just threw up at work. FML. I want to die. All I can do is sit here with my head down and try not to puke.

[mellymel15]

I have a little bit of dull pain on the left side of my abdomen (one of my ovaries, I think). It's not cramping. Should I be concerned?

Is it always on the left? 

I had pinches/pains on one side for a day or so, then I would feel it on the other side for a day or so. It made me nervous, but the pain or frequency never escalated which helped to calm my nerves. I had an u/s on Friday and baby is firmly in my uterus and my ovaries looked fine. OB suspected it was just early RLP. 

[chickadee]

mellymel15, I've had the same thing but it is on the right side. It comes and goes but is worse when I'm carrying my 19 month old. I'm hoping it is normal!

I feel tired and achey but overall ok. I'm guessing around 5 1/2 weeks I'll start to see aversions and nausea as I did with my other two. Maybe I'll get lucky though?! A girl can hope!

[SubtleGrandeur]

Guise... I'm so freaking hungry but I can't even think about food without wanting to barf. It's like a constant knot of nausea in the pit of my stomach.

It's been for the last few days, but not constantly and the pain's not bad and hasn't escalated. Yes, it's always on the left. I have my first u/s next Thursday.

I had similar pain/pulling sensations on my right side the first week after my BFP, but they seem to have gone away for the most part. So no advice or assurance, just commiseration really. Most everything I googled made me feel like it wasn't anything to worry about.

[piperhalliwell]

Still with the afternoon exhaustion and extremely vivid dreams. Apparently this baby wants me to work through all my subconscious issues with everything before it comes into the world.

A new symptom is some late night leg stiffness, almost restless leg syndrome type of feeling. Anyone else experience this? I have the most comfortable couch and could typically lay there for hours, but now I'm squirming and unable to get comfy at all.

Not currently but have experienced this in the past - try sleeping with a pillow between your legs, on your side. This always helps me.

I just ate a good lunch and it went down ok, then I walked back into the office and someone had parmasean.....cue nausea.

Love tit for commiseration.

[EatsRitz]

lemoncupcake It was you that took some diclegis, right? How have you been feeling since then? Does it seem to help? Make you tired?

[SubtleGrandeur]

I caved and ordered some preggie pop drops via amazon prime with 1-day shipping. Those bitches better help because I can't even.

[lazyreader]

I'm still nausea free. hooray. didn't have it with #1 and would love the repeat.

My nipples are sometimes more tender when I nurse J (only once a day so this is not a problem). They are more full too. Just enough to notice they aren't as deflated football looking - not anywhere close to the giagantic boulders I know they will become.

no aversions yet. So pretty much all I am going off of is my BBT is still high and i have no period.

[auchick913]

Exhaustion hit me a few days ago. I took an hour long nap yesterday, it was glorious. Nausea has also hit full force. I'm assuming the vomiting will come in the next few days. Can't wait!

Maybe a corpus luteum cyst? If you're worried abt ectopic, I think those are really painful with a good bit of spotting, so it's good the pain hasn't gotten worse.

Thanks. Yeah, no spotting and the pain's not really bad. 

I feel like so many pregnancy symptoms are, like, choose your own adventure.

Yes, I've been taking two pills at night since Friday. I'm so unbelievably tired. So, so tired. But I haven't vomited since I started taking it, so that's an improvement. And the nausea is still there but it's more mild.

[elebishi]

Other than the fact that I'm a tad more tired than usual and I can't stop eating, I feel great. Like, I really don't feel pregnant. I had an easy first pregnancy, so I'm hoping it's a repeat of that. It's just throwing me off because my second pregnancy was so miserable for a while, and that's what is fresh in my mind.

[mshandlebar]

mellymel15, I've also had something like this on my right side. I panicked and got an earlier u/s scheduled. My RE said it could be a cyst, overworked ovaries or nothing at all. Try not to worry...easier said than done

[krl52014]

I'm so happy I don't have much nausea so far!! Last pregnancy was miserable!!! Its still early though so it could happen.

I'm taking it as well. The over the counter didn't help much, but the prescription strength does. Before I want able to keep anything down, but with the diclegis I just feel nausea waves and occasional vomiting. I'm not any more tired than I would be otherwise.
