My symptoms seem to come and go but my boobs have been hurting the entire time but I am also on progesterone . With all my other pregnancies that went to term I had bad nausea and was extremely tired all the time all 3 were girls so I am wandering if this one might be a boy It is scary for sure especially if you have had a loss . I am always expecting to see blood when I wipe

My last loss was about 10 years ago, although I'm sure I had a chemical before falling with my last baby. I haven't had fatigue or nausea yet. No cramps which I remember having before as I was worried that was a bad sign. I'm sure it will come soon though, just hard to say feelings to oh because he just doesn't get it

Yep. 1st trimester def sucks. Sore boobs was my first symptom, they doubled in size pretty quick. Hubby noticed. Not me lol. The only thing now is off and on fatigue, still sore boobs (some days worse) and the most awful gas. Other than that. Nothing. I didn’t have any symptoms with my first pregnancy so I wonder what does that mean. Maybe I am having a girl like I want but too soon to tell.
Can’t we have a blood test or something to tell? If it could possibly harm the baby then never mind

I think I've seen people mention the sneak peek test? That's from about 8 weeks I believe

Is that the one you buy cuz that’s what I’ll be getting. Since I’ll be 11 weeks by the time I buy it, hopefully it’ll be accurate. Who knows

My morning sickness hit me like a truck today . I have just been laying down and munching on snacks all day so I don't lose it all lol

I started cramping pretty bad tonight. It's still going and feels like the start of a miscarriage. I am terrified and sad that this might be happening again this is the last time I will get to be pregnant regardless of the outcome I am having my tubes tied or a hysterectomy. No bleeding yet will update in the morning .

Try and rest of you can, I know cramps can be quite common in first tri and no bleeding is a good sign

Well the cramps went away overnight and everything is good this morning no blood. Maybe I overdid it yesterday.

Good!!! And yes maybe you did. I noticed when I walked more than usual, I would start cramping. Smh. Crazy how they say exercise is good while pregnant but is it really tho lol

So I should be starting a job probably this week. I’m actually sitting here googling different baby items so I can make a checklist of what I want to buy before the years out. So much stuff lol figure I’ll work about 4 or 5 months. That’s long enough. Don’t think I’m gonna have a baby shower. I’m not spending money on throwing one and I doubt my Sisters would throw me one, even tho I threw one for her but whatever

Same here no one ever threw me one for any of my girls and I would rather spend that money that I would use throw one myself on stuff for the baby . I have lots of planning to do towards the end of the year. I don't plan on buying anything until my anatomy scan . I have to plan easy meals to cook cause my husband works graveyard shift and with my 3 year old who will be 4 by then I will be uber tired for the first month hehe

So I had one test left since it was 3 pack this is 3x diluted with a 15 minute hold

 

[realbeauty86]

Looks great! When is your first dr visit?

Well now my back is hurting and I’m cramping a little but it’s raining here so that could be why. I have a sickle cell trait so sometimes I hurt because of it. It’s not bad, just uncomfortable

 

[Ruskiegirl]
