Thread: Symptoms

Hey ladies! What kinds of symptoms is everyone having? Mostly I just have sore BBs and I'm more tired than usual...and peeing more. Lol. I'm having some cramping which worries the heck out of me but it doesn't hurt. It's more like pressure and they aren't constant either. It's like I'll have an hour or two a day where I'll be feeling it. Honestly, if I wasn't pregnant and all worried about it I'm not sure that I'd notice it at all. The stress of this part is so hard. Anyone know if this is normal?

LURKER

When I had my first appointment with my OB, she said "light cramps" are totally normal throughout the first trimester! It's likely just small growing pains... I wouldn't be concerned unless you're in extreme pain and/or there is bleeding!

I have real sore BB's and they are getting bigger! (I'm big already so this is not comfy!) Have had quite a bit of cramping and peeing alot and headaches. I'm guessing headaches could be the lack of caffeine since I totally cut it out. I get all my lab work done on March 9th and a class. I guess my doc didn't see that I already have kids LOL! ( They said usually if you have more than one child you don't need the class) But I'm all for a refresher course! Then I have my first prenatal with the doc March 14. So Hopefully I can discuss all my symtoms with her at that time. I don't remember being this crampy with my DD. But it comes and goes. So I think they could be grwing pains as well. Oh the other thing....I am sleeping like s %^t! I'm a light sleeper anyway but I toss and turn all night and for whatver reason I'm itchy! LOL! So I'm gonna exfoliate to see if that helps! Just weird and I can blame it on someone

I'm noticing more fatigue. Earlier this evening I had to have a nap. Had a bit of cramping today too. I've also noticed that my skin is itchier, particularly my lower abdomen and my chest. Oh and ummmm, there's a lot more gas....lol

Sleeping is ok but I keep waking up around 5 am grrrrrr Other than that, I feel pretty good.

Nausea, ugh. Cramping and pulling (which is totally normal!). BBs are getting bigger (but not sore). I'm not sleeping well either!

Lots of minor cramps/pulling sensations. I'm definitely more tired than usual. Not tired enough to nap or go to bed early though...I'm going to have a hard time with that! My BBs haven't changed at all. I also feel a little queasy, especially when I get hungry. It's not any where close to MS yet, I'm well familiar with that lovely symptom. Not looking forward to puking 3-5 a day for 7 months, so I'll enjoy queasy when I can

Yes I have cramps too! They are def normal! Boobs are a little sore but not as bad as last time! I have a very healthy appetite! I had a really hard time sleeping last night for sure!!! DH was snoring and kept waking me up! UGH! Im praying the morning sickness stays away for a long time yet!!

My cramps JUST stopped for the most part- but still have lower back ache
SKIN- my skin/face/chest/back is broken out- and my chest is ITCHY.. I noticed that my stomach was itchy the other day too.. eek
BLOATED/cant go to the bathroom- I've gained so much weight already- I think I need fiber viteys
Nausea went away, a smidge right now (in the mornings) if I dont eat, but so far nothing like last pregnancy
PMS/B*****y- Im really irritable!!
Sleep- Really tired, but finally sleeping better, still have crazy dreams though!
BB's were on fire- now they come and go, swollen and generally tender though
HUNGRY...im being a pig. must stop.

Lol. Cait I'm laughing at you saying you're a pig. Hehe. I've been starving and so many things sound good right now. Of course it's all unhealthy fried things that I want. I haven't really let myself have much salty stuff since I tend to blow up like a balloon normally so imagine it'll be bad if I have much salt while pregnant. I sure want it though. I'm fighting it hard. It helps that I feel sick in the morning a little. It's easier to be good if I start the day off right. Lol.

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one having cramps. I've been so worried. I really wouldn't say they're "bad" though but mostly they're just different from pms type cramps for me. Every now and then I'll get a sharp one in the groin which I think I felt when I implanted but it's not as intense as it would normally be. I'm trying not to over analyze but I'm failing miserably.

And get this...I drove an hour to my RE's lab today to get my blood work for my last beta just so I can get the results today. Am I crazy? Haha. I don't even care. Waiting on these results has been so hard on me. I'm feeling confident today though. Everything still seems to be fine and I'm feeling pretty good overall. Not looking forward to morning sickness kicking in and I bet I'll have it too. But hey I'll take the symptoms as long s it means everything is normal and healthy. I should get my beta results around 3 so fingers crossed all is good on my 3rd beta!

I'm glad to hear no one is feeling too sick yet. Maybe it won't get too bad...knock on wood.

Haha Leah- yeah its funny..but sad... I feel so... depressed about it now!! Like why cant I just control myself??? I'm up 9lbs in 12 days- sooo yeah, thats definately not OK!!
I seriously need to just throw the ice cream away..
Im making taco soup for dinner tonight- in hopes all that fiber will help me out a little!!

I kinda wish I felt sicker- it'd help me not eat so much and it's kind of comforting to have M/S.

And no, you're not crazy, and if so, we're all probably a little crazy anyways!!
Why did you have to get 3rd beta tests by the way?
