This feels like the longest pregnancy ever, despite me only being 7+4 weeks and only finding out just over a fortnight ago Grin

My main symptom has been sore boobs. Constantly. they feel like they're huge and tender and totally uncomfortable Sad

Then there is the exhaustion. I feel like I have either turned a corner or I am having a really good day today. I've invested in Dextro Energy tablets to help with the 3pm slump.

Dizziness has been my third main symptom. It isn't constant but I have it more often than not. The last two days I haven't been so bad and I am hoping this remains the case!

Apart from some cramping in week 4 through to 6 (thought it was period pains at first!), I have been totally fine. I don't even feel pregnant and it totally doesn't feel real!

I'm 10 weeks now and for the last few days feel like the sickness is easing up somewhat, and the tiredness slightly. Hopefully I'm on the up now!

Fingers crossed!

I forgot the heartburn... OMG the heartburn!!!

I’m 12 weeks, currently I’m bed, exhausted, thumping headache and not going to work tonight despite being absolutely desperate for the money.

I've been struggling with tiredness and pretty constant headaches when feeling tired 😴 also get dizzyness/light headed. Started with low cramp on my right side by my thigh so had a call back with the Dr today as their online referral system said it was a medical emergency...... Way to freak out a pregnant woman! All fine apparently you can get localised cramp pain low down wish someone told me I felt pretty stupid!

Jesus, sounds like you're both suffering. Sad Cake Flowers

Hello - I'm 7+5 today, so pretty close to you AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson!

Honestly I'm feeling like CRAP. Very sick, constantly needing to eat otherwise I feel like I'm going to puke/pass out. So, so, so tired, and an on and off headache... I'm also still breastfeeding DC1 and my nipples are so sore, it's horrible!

Other than that I feel delightful! Grin

I feeeeeeel this post. I'm 7+1 and have been WIPED for the best part of 2 weeks. Couldn't get off the sofa for a couple days, work was a no chance. I'm tired all the time just trying to get myself up and going is so hard.

byanyothernamerose · 14/06/2018 18:52

Same!! So glad to have the company of you ladies...I am 7+2 and absolutely shattered. I have to eat constantly or the nausea takes over...and I am constantly going for carb options and feeling like a heifer already. No throwing up yet though? But lots of foods turn my stomach...

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 15/06/2018 10:39

I just can't believe how tired I am, I knew I would be a bit knackered but I have friends and relatives whose pregnancy's just seemed a breeze (or they're just a hell of a lot tougher than I am)

I know my symptoms are not the worst, I have been lucky I'm not stuck with my head down the loo. I just don't get how something the size of a raspberry is literally draining my every ounce of energy!

Hello! I'm currently 7+3 so pretty close! I've been feeling so sick for the past week, don't fancy anything to eat, EVER!! And nap all the time lol!

Aw12345 · 15/06/2018 13:28

I'm 33 weeks and feel great compared to how I did in the first trimester. I absolutely did not think I'd survive the pregnancy for the first 20 weeks, since then it has been getting easier and easier (though I am aware this may change as 3rd trimester progresses).

Hang in there, the first trimester is flipping exhausting and draining.

WakeUpSlow · 15/06/2018 13:48

I'm 6 and 4 with my second and still bf dc1. Omg I'm exhausted/ nauseous/ hungry and dizzy. It's so hard that you can't explain to everyone why you are feeling so rubbish.

Littleonek · 16/06/2018 11:28

I think im 5 weeks pregnant and had the same symptoms as you guys.

How come some people have more symptoms compared to other people.

Is it due to hormone imbalances? Ive got polycestic ovaries syndrome so im paranoid about everything atm. Three weeks until ive booked in for a private early scan.

Eg my mate is rhe same time as me but has no symptoms like I do.

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 16/06/2018 11:46

@Littleonek I have PCOS too! In fact I shouldn’t even be posting here... my DH is totally normal but my results, given to me on the 10th May were that I wasn’t ovulating at all and I needed further investigation but needed to lose a significant amount of weight before that happened... I was (by my calculations) four days pregnant when they told me that Grin

Thats amazing news! Congrats

My gynaecologist in Jan said 80% of people with pcos need help conceiveing and it would be impossible for me to do it natrually.

Changed my diet and went to thr gym and my periods return then randomly got pregnant.

How far gone are you?

What did your dr say about pcos?

Littleonek · 16/06/2018 12:14

Sorry pcos and pregnancy?

Are hormones now 100% normal, have the cysts disappeared, do we need to carry on having a low carb diet or eat what we want now?

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 16/06/2018 12:21

I have no idea! I’m not motivated by food right now Envy (not envy) so my weight is stable (for once)

I had periods but very, very irregular. I’d been referred to the specialist and was told I’d need a lot of help and the next step was to see if my tubes were blocked (but needed a much lower BMI to get to that point).

I’m 7+6 and it’s a bloody miracle. I was full of a chest infection the month we conceived and we did it literally twice Grin

Amazing well done!

It doesn't help my nerves as I joined the Uk facebook pcos page and there are constantly people on there talking about miscarriages.
