Let's talk symptoms

[Andrea]

The boards are a little dead, so I figured we would get some threads going. 

I know we are all pretty early but the 'morning' sickness is kicking my ass. I have started to choose food based on how it will taste coming back up, which is so sad. I am so incredibly hungry, but nothing sounds good to eat. I have cried at dinner a couple of times cause I am so frustrated. I heart food y'all. I went to the grocery store last night (and after puking in the dairy isle) got this chocolate & malt powder drink (Milo) that I used to love when I was little girl in Colombia. That was my dinner last night, and I had a Carnation breakfast shake after I threw up eggs this morning. So I guess I will survive on milk drinks and crackers? 

I am also incredibly tired, and my boobs are sore. 

What are you guys feeling??? 

[kittenzilla]

Puking up eggs sounds like torture; I'm so sorry! I've got nothing yet, but I remember with my first pregnancy, I couldn't eat anything that has a smell for my first tri. Meals were so boring. I'm waiting for that to kick in again.

I lost the fight against vomit last night. It was not pretty. I feel exhausted and queasy all day. Chasing a toddler like this is no fun.

One thing that helped me last pregnancy, and I'm hoping will again this one, is Vitamin Water. All that Vitamin B. Give it to me.

Not feeling any of that-which is scary after a miscarriage where I also felt no symptoms. Hoping nausea comes on soon, but I don't think I got much with my DS until 6-7 weeks either.

[Flair Underwood]

My only real "symptom" thus far is being insanely thirsty, and a really sensitive gag reflex when brushing me teeth, both of which happened with my first pregnancy too. The first time around i didn't have any morning sickness... so I'm hoping this one goes the same way!

[sandandsea]

I've been having cramps for over a week and I'm just soooooo tired and my breasts are soooo sensitive and sore. Exactly like the first time so I'm hoping it's a good sign! And, I've been waking up to pee at 5am. Expecting the full on MS to start in about 2 weeks.

[amiet79]

My sympathies to all of those experiencing morning sickness. That sounds awful.
I've been feeling extremely exhausted, but I am trying to keep up with a preschooler and a toddler. I've been having very vivid dreams and I've been waking up a lot at night, so that's also contributing to the tiredness. Also, TMI WARNING, my hemorrhoids are flared up and I'm a bit constipated. Super fun. I really can't complain, though.

[Muffin10]

Oh I feel you on the hemorrhoids amiet79, mine are flaring up in full force. They never really fully recovered from DS, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I got my BFP Saturday, 3 days before my missed period but I knew something was up because I've been feeling nauseous round the clock since last Monday. I haven't thrown up yet, thank goodness, but I figure it's coming. I'm just 4 weeks today. I did not start feeling sick this early last time. My sympathy to all feeling the sickies.

[mymilkshake]

The only thing I'm feeling right now is a little cramping and my boobs are definitely swollen . No morning sickness yet for me.

[Andrea]

athn64, I feel for you girl! Dealing with the constant queasiness & exhaustion with a toddler must be a challenge. I feel like a whiny baby.

Thanks. I am trying to institute a nap when she naps policy, as long as I don't have work due.

ETA sorry for your puke-y too. It is never any fun.

[titania]

I'm sorry for everyone who is feeling so sick!! My boobs are so sore! If I accidentally brush up against something it is so painful. I am also just exhausted... I managed to catch a horrible cold so that is not helping. Some bouts with nausea, but mainly I just don't want to eat anything. What I do want for some reason is sparkling water... I am drinking that by the gallons.

I worked from home today. I took a 45 minute nap as my lunch break. I think I may do this at the office now too whenever possible.

I also worked from home today. I literally could not get up this morning. Yesterday around 3pm, I just lay my head on my desk for a while.

I used to drink it like a champ before this whole trying not to hurl every 5 seconds business. Now I'm going through like 2-3 cases a week. #atleastimhydrated

Sounds like a major win to me.

Lots of sympathy for those feeling morning sickness, I'm not there yet but kicked in around 6/7 weeks with my first. At the moment just feeling bloated and exhausted.

My 3 year old's favorite game right now is 'Baby Mommy' which suits my exhaustion perfectly as all I have to do to 'play' is lay down on the couch while he fetches me blankets, stuffed animals and pretend food. It's a fabulous game.

I need to play this game!  Instead DS plays firehouse - we sleep for 2 seconds then get an emergency call and have to go put out a fire.  If i pretend to sleep through the call, he starts yelling "HURRY IT'S AN EMERGENCY"!  The 2 seconds is really nice though

[greysonsmom]

I lived off smoothies and Greek yogurt my last pregnancy. I never vomited, I was just constantly nauseous.

Not too many symptoms yet, sensitive nipples which was a good indication to test, that was my first symptom with DS. Exhaustion is setting in and some cramping.

DS is almost 14 months so we are in serious weaning mode. I can't handle nursing while pregnant or tandem nursing. Nipples are sore and the cramping is worse when he is nursing.

[csat]

sandandsea, I'm milking this game for all its worth, but yes I'd be cherishing that 2 seconds too!

[westisleflower]

My nipples are sore! Not all day every day but enough to matter. I haven't thrown up yet * knock wood *but have been so tired. I could easily take 3 naps a day and still go to bed at 8:30.... I feel so lame.

[ArgyleEnigma]

I felt something like heaviness in my lower abdomen for several days before and after my BFP, but no more. Now I am always thirsty no matter how much I drink. Oh, and I'm eating everything in my sightline. Not even worried about that, I got "morning sickness" on the pill so I know it's coming. My favorite symptom is that my headaches, which I normally get every 2-3 days, have stopped completely.

Every other "symptom" is something I experience occasionally anyway, so no knowing if it's related.

My deepest sympathies to the ladies feeling poorly.

[shoogars]

I haven't had more than waves of nausea, and a near constant bloat. In previous pregnancies the bad stuff didn't set in until 7 or so weeks. Then I kept a pocket full of jolly ranchers which really helped with the nausea at work. Also drinks with fresh lemon.

[broadwaymama]

Consistent nausea sucks!!!! And the problem in in the height of feeling my worst I feel hungry! Hoping it passes rather quickly!

[cattuccino]

Queasiness is creeping in - especially in the mornings lately.
Mostly bloat, awful constipation, exhaustion and holy mood swings.
My poor H.

I also cry over food.

[pbj14]

I also have been feeling nauseous on and off throughout the day. I don't remember that starting until 6-7 weeks with DS. This isn't going to be a fun tri :/ sorry to everyone who is also going through it...on the bright side, it's slightly reassuring?

[carolinaheart]

Reading all you ladies makes me realize how lucky I am to not be feeling any morning sickness.... Yet.

But I am insanely thirsty (and therefore peeing constantly) and have insanely dry, itchy skin. My boobs are also enormous.

Andplusalso. I cry at everything. I mean, I was watching AGT earlier today and we are talking full on sobbing complete with snot. It's great.

[soultrane]

Mild nausea if I don't eat often enough, quick gag reflex when I'm brushing my teeth which has happened in all my pregnancies, sore boobs, and I'm already insanely tired by the time I get home. I've gone to bed at the same time as my 3 year old the past couple of nights!
