Hi everyone. I am currently 5.6 weeks pregnant and I would be curious to know what your symptoms are (were) during the same period. So far I've had a metallic taste in my mouth since 12dpo which is now very much fading away and breast soreness that fluctuates so much within the course of the day driving me insane. I am also a little tired but nothing excessive. I would welcome more symptoms as it would feel a bit more reassuring. What is (was) your experience?
I have an early scan in exactly a week and the wait has been excruciating 😆

@TTCbaby2023 Yes your right I read it's normal I just still worry 🤦🏽‍♀️
Yes I'm so bloated as well... When's your scan this Sunday or next?
@ChaE05 Oh my goodness the dreams!!! So crazy and feel so real as well 🙈
Good luck with your scan tomorrow x

TTCbaby2023 · 20/04/2023 23:24

@Lillybobs86 it's Sunday next week, still quite some time to wait.. I will be 8+6 by then. The bloating is so real!!! I felt a bot nauseous this evening and fell asleep on the sofa. Even after a light dinner, I feel like I ate a whole Christmas dinner 😂 I already look 6 month pregnant!!

Hey 👋

I'm 6weeks (in about 2 minutes!)

Symptom wise... My boobs are overspilling all my bras even my old maternity ones, I have heartburn that feels like my chest temperature could heat the planet, I get indigestion regardless of what I eat or how so I constantly feel slightly sick and I now try and go to bed at the same time as my toddler.

Happy Days! (waiting on my pregnancy glow...)

TTCbaby2023 · 21/04/2023 11:41

@OnNaturesCourse welcome to the thread and congrats on your pregnancy! I have felt sick on and off since last night and it's the first time in my life that I'm happy to be sick 😆.

I'm a little terrified. I'm 6w 1day and today my nausea and sore boobs have gone. I'm now panicking somethings wrong. Not experienced cramps are any bleeding.

I've had 2 early miscarriages before but this is the furthest I've ever gotten. I really hope it will be all ok.

I'm not sure if this should happen

Whathefisgoingon · 21/04/2023 12:40

@andpeggy1 My symptoms disappeared early in pregnancy, sometime after my booking appointment. I told the midwife as I was concerned, and she thought I was nuts. Said it can be totally normal.

Whathefisgoingon · 21/04/2023 12:41

Oh, I should add that was with my first. He’s now 3!

ChaE05 · 21/04/2023 15:54

Hey girls.. I had my scan and everything is looking great. I was measuring at 7+1. My calculations were 7+3. Heartbeat was flickering away on the screen 🥰 amazing x

TTCbaby2023 · 21/04/2023 18:02

@ChaE05 that's great news!! It's such a great feeling to see the heart flickering like mad isn't it?

TTCbaby2023 · 21/04/2023 19:55

@Whathefisgoingon thanks for this, reassuring to know. I also think It was cause I was late taking my cyclogest this morning too. Once I took that the sore boobs and nausea kicked back in again

TTCbaby2023 · 24/04/2023 08:52

How is everyone feeling today? How about your symptoms? I'm at 7+7 today and since Friday breast soreness has been extremely mild, almost non existent. I had a bit of nausea here and there but nothing major. It makes me very nervous as it should be the opposite no?

OP posts:
Itonlytakesaminute · 24/04/2023 09:22

@TTCbaby2023 I'm the same, 7+2 and breasts feel less sore today. Random waves of nausea but not much. I am reading into everything at the moment until my scan next week.
I just keep telling myself symptoms come and go it's normal

Lillybobs86 · 24/04/2023 09:38

Honestly I am the same I've been freaking out a bit last couple days.
I am 7 weeks 5 days today and my nausea has really calmed down.
We are our own worst enemies as I am sure it's all normal but the worry sometimes gets me so stressed then I get upset as I've made myself stressed 🤦🏽‍♀️
I've also read about sleep positions?? Certain ones not recommended has anyone else read that? Then I worry as I've been sleeping on every side (apart from on my stomach) for weeks! X

TTCbaby2023 · 24/04/2023 09:44

@Itonlytakesaminute it reassures me that I'm not the only one and that it seems to happen. I am reading too much into anything and it's driving my man crazy! 😆. The scan on Sunday can't come quickly enough...

OP posts:
TTCbaby2023 · 24/04/2023 09:47

@Lillybobs86 I see a pattern in the 3 of us so might actually be nothing? We are really our own worst ennemy, I just can't keep relaxed about it. I guess if all goes well on Sunday I will feel a lot better as I will be 8+6 by then..
I haven't read anything about sleep positions but I wouldn't imagine it would be an issue until much later in the pregnancy?

Whathefisgoingon · 24/04/2023 12:38

I’m 7 weeks and 6 days, and my nausea has calmed down a lot too. Barely there now but boobs still huge and sore!

Didn’t have any nausea with my first but my symptoms did come and go.

Thank you for posting this! I’m 7+2 today and boobs are still a bit tender but it has eased a lot and apart from that I don’t have any other symptoms! Even the total tiredness I had at first has gone. I haven’t had any nausea at all.

Cant wait for my scan on 5th.

Has anyone told anyone yet? Only me and my partner know and I think we’ll tell our parents after early scan but everyone else after 12 week one. It is getting hard finding excuses to not go out/drink alcohol at the weekends though as my family always go for a few pints at the weekend haha.

@Lillybobs86 Ive read that sleeping positions don’t matter until around 16 weeks

xx

Lillybobs86 · 24/04/2023 13:46

@TTCbaby2023 Yes defo pattern thank goodness we got each other to consult each week :))
I read online to not sleep on back or right side 🙈
No way I could stay on my left all night 🙈🤦🏽‍♀️

TTCbaby2023 · 24/04/2023 13:59

@Purpleflowers21 Definitely a pattern there with all of us so surely it must be normal right?
We told our parents after my early scan 1 week ago. I wanted to wait longer but didn't manage 😂 We haven't told anyone else and will do so after 12 weeks (hoping we get there 🤞). It's hard to keep it for ourselves and make excuses but it's worth waiting a bit.
