Virus or Pregnancy Symptom?!

[Rose301]

Hi all,

I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant.

Two nights ago I came down with terrible body aches all over and a headache. Yesterday I woke up feeling no different with the headache very intense and with a strong sensitivity to light. I felt a bit better by the evening and today the headache has mostly gone but feel completely wiped out and my legs and hips still very achy. I felt a bit nauseous when eating my breakfast as well.

Has anyone else experienced this in early pregnancy? This is my 2nd pregnancy and with my 1st I had the fatigue and nausea but this feels a bit extreme. Trying to work out if it's actually a virus or just pregnancy symptom. thanks!

Hi OP, I just wondered how you got on? I'm 5 weeks and don't have the body aches but struggling with light sensitivity and bad headaches x

I got my BFP when i was around 5.5 weeks as I'd missed my period.
That weekend I had awful diarrhea, fever, headache, nausea, extreme fatigue, dizziness and I was so thirsty.
I then got sore boobs which prompted me to take the test.

The sore boobs, headaches and nausea continued on, and the fatigue of course, but the other symptoms stopped after a few days. I'm still not sure whether they were pregnancy related or I coincidentally caught a bug at the same time!

It's my second pregnancy too and I don't remember this the first time round.
