Hellobee Boards

@Penny Lane: I am trying ginger ale and crackers today. With DS the nausea was mild but this time it seems to be worse and I got sick this morning too... Now I just have to figure out how to continue caring for DS and make it through my work days with this. Ugh!

Has anyone felt as if when they do eat, they are ravenous? My husband usually helps me finish my dinner, but yesterday he tried to take a fry off of my plate and I gave him such a dirty look. I'm only 5w and 6 days along.

Also my DHA vitamins are making me nauseous! I take it with a meal, but somehow later I have heartburn and am burping up fish oil. *yuck

@Sugar.Biscuit: @Honeydew: Yes to the hunger & feeling ravenous! The first week after I got my BFP I actually felt scared being without snacks! I was just SO hungry. My stomach would feel completely empty within 2 hours and I'd feel like my blood sugar was plummeting. It must be the hormones. I am 5+ weeks now and its getting a little better.

I heard it was good to snack on small meals throughout the day- a lot of people have said their nausea is the worst on an empty stomach. I'm sure its hard when there's nausea to begin with though.

I'm 6w3d and starting to feel some nausea (or at least some upset stomach issues!)

I woke up the past 3 days feeling like my stomach was super empty and gurgley.. and also (TMI!!) but my constipation is finally hitting me hard! My stomach feels the need to go but I can't.. blegh it's making me feel even more bloated and yucky!

I sip on a small cup of coffee in the AM's (Just can't give it up!) and usually that helps but today, no avail.

Anyone else feeling symptoms?? My breasts still feel totally fine except for my nipples being a little more sensitive. It's so weird because last time, I couldn't even lay on my side they hurt so bad!

@Lindsay05: The exhaustion is getting out of control haha. and my cravings are the same, salty fatty foods and those don't help because then I get indigestion.

Am I silly for being a little worried that I don't really feel like I have symptoms? I'm 5 wks 5 days. The weird cramping feeling has mostly subsided and my craving for salads is gone. I still have no nausea and I'm not really peeing THAT much, even though I'm drinking a ton.

Although, I did just have a breakdown because my sister isn't going to be at the family bbq on Monday where we were going to announce. And my Mom bought me a maternity shirt and onesie for me to announce with, but it's my thing and I want to announce it the way I want to! Plus, I bought my nephews birthday gifts, but they live in Japan, so to ship them is like $70! it's more than what I spent on the gifts! So I'm returning them and getting them a lame gift card. I hate that they live so far away! Cue cry-fest. UGH

@abbydabbydoodlebug I wouldn't worry about a lack of symptoms yet. I wasn't feeling too much when I was that far along, but as I approached 7 weeks, that's when it started to hit! And, even now, I have good days and bad days. I'm trying to think I'm lucky, not that it is a bad sign. I read somewhere, that statistically speaking, only 75% get morning sickness. Maybe you are lucky?

@wahine08 @lovelyplum I CAN'T POOP! It is horrible! I use to poop so well every day, and now everything is messed up! I also had to give up coffee, not because of the caffeine but because of the taste. I can't make myself drink it (even though it totally helps with the poop!)

@MamaBehr: Seriously.. I miss Poop.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: I worry about this, too...though the nausea has been much worse today. Still not throwing up, but feeling mostly like I have the flu all the time.

Don't start me on the buffalo wings...we live in buffalo wing central, so this would be a very, very dangerous craving to have!!

Yeah, I've basically had ALL of the above, haha. I think about nothing but sleep, I feel like I need to sit down if I've been up for more than about five minutes, I've had random bouts of nausea (though no official morning sickness yet), cold symptoms, cramping, gas (tmi?), and my boobs are so sore that they hurt when I walk.

It's so strange to have all of these changes at once, no? I feel like my body is going through some strange mutation!

@MamaBehr: yes, constipation is killer!!

I am less sore in the boob department, and have had a bit more cramping, which is totally freaking me out! (No spotting though, so I think I'm ok?) My only consolation is my nausea seems to be getting worse, but still only in waves. Before it was "oh I don't feel so good" and now it's "should I go to the bathroom? I might just hurl..." It happens first thing in the morning and after dinner. This morning it actually woke me up at 4am and I couldn't fall back to sleep!

Anyone else's symptoms wax and wane?

@Emsmems: Yes! My cramping comes in waves and some days it's WAY worse than others. The nausea has been up and down, too. At first it was just random bouts of nausea throughout the day that only lasted a few minutes, but I just ate breakfast a few minutes ago and I'm terrified to get up and start moving because I'm completely convinced I'm going to lose all of my breakfast...it's definitely changed from day to day!

@LovelyPlum: My nausea happens in the middle of the night, too. If I wake up to move or anything I feel so gross. I just pray I fall back asleep quickly and hope it's not around when I wake up for work!

I've not been choosing the best dinners lately so I think I'm just getting gnarly indigestion, lol. Spicy food sounds SO good to me but just isn't playing nice with my stomach

@LovelyPlum: good luck. Hope you get some good news. Thinking of you.

@LovelyPlum: FX & prayers for you!

Well, we are back from the doctor/hospital. Two transvaginal ultrasounds later, we are pretty sure baby is not ectopic. But they didn't see anything, so we are going for betas tomorrow and Tuesday. They said there is no way I'm 6 weeks, since there was no sac. But there is no way I'm any less than 5w 4d at the very latest, so I don't know. We are trying to stay positive, but I don't feel super hopeful. Thanks for the prayers.

@lovelyplum I really hope everything works out for you, and you have a great sticky baby. I had spotting with DS and I have had spotting with this one as well, so it might not be anything.

@PINKPEONY921 my symptoms come and go as well. I fell asleep on the couch twice this weekend (without meaning too) but didn't feel that tired again until today (another whoops nap!). And my nausea isn't very consistent, so I wouldn't get too worried about it. I, personally, won't feel comfortable until I can feel the baby move. That tends to be when I relax a little with the worrying (and that is probably ten or twelve weeks away!!!)

@WAHINE08 I craved spicy foods like crazy when I was pregnant with my son, so maybe you have a boy in there!!!

@Sugar.Biscuit what is a grilled PB&J, do you grill it like a grilled cheese? I've never heard of this and I am sooo intrigued!!!

@LovelyPlum: praying for you! I hope all turns out well!

@MamaBehr: yes just like a grilled cheese! I've heard grilled PB & honey is good too but I stick to what I know.

I'm going to add restlessness to the list of symptoms. I've been waking up about every other day at 430 & today its 200! WTH!
