I had cramps all through my pregnancy with my son. But towards the end of first tri they eased off.

 

[glbaby1]

My nausea is definitely getting worse which is sort of reassuring and my boobs are pretty sore now. I have a day off work today (has holiday to use up before the end of the year) and I'm probably going to spend it lying down as I'm still struggling to sleep so feel shattered during the day.

Has anyone else lost their appetite? I don't think I've felt hungry for days!

I've lost my appetite. I haven't had much of one since I found out I was pregnant, not sure if it's nerves or what. I try and make myself eat a slice of toast in the morning but I'm pratically forcing myself lol.

Today I don't have many symptoms at all. Boobs are still a little sore and I have an upset stomach but not sure if that is a symptom.

How is everyone else feeling today?

Hi Emma,

I'm exactly the same as you, completely lost my apetite, I feel like I should be eating but there is just nothing I want, nothing to tempt me at all and I keep going without food which is making me light headed and feeling a little sick but I know its just cause I havent ate anything, so then force myself to eat, my sore boobs keep coming and going at certain times of the day and I had an upset tummy on saturday xxx

So nice to see someone pretty much the exact same as me. I'm sure we will both find our appetite soon

I thought I was the only one with a lack of appetite! Nice to see that others are experiencing the same. I haven't had any real nausea, which is odd because I have a really sensitive tummy. This is my forth baby, but I only really remember feeling nauseated at this stage with my 1st, who is now 13. I do have strange out of the blue cravings... i.e. I wanted crab really badly last night. Then cheese tortellini the next day, for no rhyme or reason. And yes... they were both delish!!!

Thanks Denyse and FlyingDuster... it's reassuring that even if my m/s does last the entire pregnancy, it'll likely dissipate after first tri.

Urgh. Anyone else feel a bit like someone put a ball of lead in your stomach?

Yes!! I've felt that way since I got my bfp.

I haven't been hungry lately either. But I had a few days of intense nausea/vomiting where I could hardly eat at all, so I'm sure my stomach shrank which is why I have no appetite. Nausea has been low grade all day so far and it's been great!


As my nausea's been lightening up I've been feeling a bit constipated. I've read quite a few of you ladies having that issue lately and I've been hoping I wouldn't get stuck with it too...

As I was picking out my clothes for work, I caught a glimpse of myself from the side in my mirror and I *think* I might have a teeny bump already!!! I wasn't expecting it at all and even gasped a bit when I saw it. I know it's only been 5 weeks, so it's very early, and very likely that it's mainly bloat... but at least a little bit has to be baby right!? What do you ladies think? I was so excited I had to take a picture.

The constipation I had was giving me really awful cramping that was scaring me. I tried prune juice but it only increased the urge to go . I finally called my OB and she told me to take some Miralax, which I already had a ton of because I had to give it to my 6 year old daughter last year for like two weeks because she had a serious case of constipation (Thanks Costco). I was hesitant at first, until I learned that it doesn't go into your blood stream, just straight to your gut. And sure enough, the next morning, smooth as silk. Colace, Ducolax and all those other ones would give me super diarrhea (sorry...TMI) but Miralax is great because you can put it in anything, and you can't taste it... even in water. I feel soooo much better! I drank it with strawberry creme flavored sparkling water, and it was yummy. Ask your doctor first because I have read varying opinions on it, but after seeing me through 2 of 3 pregnancies and now my forth, I trust whatever my OB says because she is fabulous!

ok... for those of you with sore bb's, I am right there with you. And they literally started hurting like 2 days after my BFP, which was still a few days before my expected AF. And they still hurt like hell! They feel very similar to what it feels like right before I got engorged when I was breast feeding my daughters, but without being rock hard. This is my forth pregnancy and I don't remember having a this kind of soreness AT ALL! Especially this early

 

[KirinM]

I'm really freaking out. I have quite bad backache today. Very much like when AF is due and it's reminding me of when I miscarried. I've taken some paracetamol and that hasn't helped. I cried at the doctors surgery this morning and have just asked to be referred to the EPU and waiting for a call from the doctor at some point today.

I'm the same as you hunni, 4th pregnancy and the 1st time they have hurt so much during pregnancy! Its just as you describe with the engorged feeling.

Kirin - I hope everything is ok

hello ladies , Can I join you ?

Got my BFP yesterday, due date is 18th August. This will be my fourth and final little baba.

Not making any appointment with midwife till the new year, got a little bit of nausea but not to bad. Ive had two vaginal births but my 3rd baby was an elective cesarean so Im already worried about this one and whether to have a vbac ??

Very early days to be worrying I think.
xx

 

[KirinM]

Thanks Littleminx.

Finally spoke to the doctor and she's going to call the epu and see if she can refer me. Fingers crossed I'll be seen soon.

 

[KirinM]

Well the doctor called. The hospital won't scan me until next week unless I show signs of an ectopic. Her words were 'if you make it to 6 weeks they'll scan you'.

My backache has calmed down now although it is still there.To be honest I'm freaking out because I read about another lady on here having a second ectopic without any symptoms and I haven't been able to calm down since.

I should get my hcg levels back on Thursday so I'll just have to see.

 

[MummyJade]

Kirinm hope your hear something soon...

I feel ok today... Jeans are unbuttoned though! ha!
Boobs aint to bad... Hurt more yesterday!

Just wanting the 20th to hurry up for scan!

Also I want food piled around me 24/7!
Xx

 

[MummyJade]

Fingers crossed its just an achy day xx

Welcome Babyno.4! I am right there with you with the forth baby. I think LittleMinx is on #4 as well. Can't give you any advice on the vbac unfortunately. My three girls were all vag delivery and the last one shot out like a rocket! You have plenty of time for that decision. Congrats!

I have major bloating, bad nausea that's constant, left-sided back pain, a 'whooshy' feeling in my head sometimes and I did have loss of appetite in the evenings last week, but now it's gone the other way and I seem to be eating a lot. I'm feeling very full after evening meals and that's been the case since a couple of days before my BFP.

I'm loving all the symptoms though because I know what's causing them and I've waited so long to get to this stage

Kirin, I hope your results reassure you. I understand back pain is very common, particularly in early pregnancy? Try not to worry and think positive.

 

[KirinM]

Feeling a lot less panicky now. I was feeling quite lightheaded and sick until I are something. Backache has gone so I'm hoping it's just an achy day like you said Mummyjade x

 

[MummyJade]

Welcome new ladies....

yeah you get achy days.... I worry like mad and am still taking the odd hpt!
its a worrying time... I remember with my daughter i was worried till i felt her kick for the 1st time then i started to relax... I had to wait 20 weeks till my 1st scan so the 1st kick was a god send

Xx

With our previous mc my Dr. ran labs this time when we confirmed and I got results back from my Dr. this morning. On Friday at 11:30 my #'s were 185 and the on Monday at 3:45 our #'s were at 915. Dr. was very happy with that. We kept our original date for the ultrasound so we are going to have one on the 23rd,and I am hopeful that we will be able to hear a little heartbeat.

Dh and I have been talking and trying to figure out how long we should wait before we tell people... thinking maybe we will try to figure out something cute for Valentine's Day...

What are your thoughts on when to tell people?

 

[MummyJade]

Ill be telling our daughter and my mum on xmas day with a gift.. Possible scan photo for my mum in frame... Daughter will have something else!

My dad and step mum will find out after xmas maybe just before cos ill run the risk of a 5 year old telling! Ha! OHs family will know over xmas (they dont live close).. Then my brother will get told when I see him after xmas... They will be told to keep quiet as it will still be early days! X

I am indeed...xx

I'm terrible at keeping the secret, so I'm probably going to go public at 8+2 after our ultrasound. I figure if anything happens, I'll at least have the support of everyone.

 

[KirbyT16]

We had a mc last time so I am hesitant to tell people...
