What were some of your symptoms at week 5? I'm curious!

[Asianchick6693]

I currently have sore breasts and the occasional cramp, constipation and really bad insomnia! Me and DH are dtd often too sorry TMI. I'm feeling anxious about the morning sickness to come. Haven't had any Nausea. I usually get horrendous nausea as PMS so I'm surprised I haven't had any this whole month!

I am doing 5 trips to the bathroom every night to pee though!

I was starving all of the time, also a little nausea. I also wanted to pee a lot more. But it honestly I didn't feel much except hunger.

I still feel relatively normal lol wonder what the next few weeks will bring. It's my first ! So I'm excited.

Congratulations! My breasts were bigger and was feeling hungry often at 5 weeks. Nausea was awful by week 7 and carried on untill about week 22. Try and do light exercise, rest and stay away from greasy and spicy foods.

Congratulations @Asianchick6693 at 5 weeks I had a bit of a sore back, tender breasts and extreme fatigue.
Check out the weeing 5 times, that could be a UTI, increased urination is common but that’s quite excessive this early on.

prettylittlelady thank you! I drink so much water constantly because I'm feeling thirsty too. It was the first thing that made me question whether or not I was pregnant. My HPT was negative at day 30. I recently had a urine culture for the frequent urination and it was normal. My test became pos CD38! I have a UTI roughly once every year or 2 years so I'm familiar with the symptoms xx

My exhaustion and sickness started kicking in around 5 weeks, I also got occasional stomach cramps. I went off most food.

Have you guys started taking Folic acid? Is that something I need to consult with my doctor or start taking it as soon as?

Sore sore sore boobs

So sore

Sore boobs, needing to pee but felt good. Then week 7 hit and it all went drastically down hill from there! (nausea, food aversions, couldn't drink water, felt like death)

23 weeks now and still get slight nausea and still have slight food aversions but now it's more a case of not being able to get comfy in bed and I feel like I can barely breathe.

The kicks are nice though

@Pentium85 and @LittleBoyJuly2020 congratulations !! My boobs are also really sore. I think they've gone slightly bigger as my bras feel tighter. I haven't been feeling like breakfast this morning which is unusual, I'm a proper breakfast person! I can't bring myself to want to eat. I hope my nausea isn't bad some people just get lucky with it I guess.

I was burping a lot which was actually why I went and got a test as it was unusual for me. My nausea really came in at 6-7 weeks. With my second pregnancy I didn’t have any symptoms at 5 weeks

You do need to start taking folic acid ASAP, get it today if you can.
At 5 weeks I didn't know I was pregnant but I was being sick some mornings, very hungry during the day and if I didn't eat I'd feel nauseated, I was peeing more and I went off sex.
