Very normal. I also had a change in taste of foods and super sensitive sense of smell.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as normal tbh, my mum had 4 kids and never had any real symptoms with any of us.

With DD1, I was fine until about 7 weeks when the morning sickness hit. It was very on and off though, not every day, but I did go off a lot of different foods. I also had terrible heartburn and bloating from early on.

With DD2 (currently 23 weeks), the morning sickness started earlier at 5 weeks and was much worse. It lasted till about 16 weeks. Feeling much more fatigued this time, dizzy spells, insomnia, headaches, mouth ulcers.....

Both times I've been very achy and had round ligament pain in the first trimester.

It's a good job they're cute with all the trouble they cause, isn't it! 😉

Same, I had 3 kids with no real symptoms at all.

I'm feeling so so blessed but the pains keep me worrying I expect most ladies have worry too! Scan is a week Tuesday and I'm counting down the days !! I've never had the different taste of food ( 3rd miracle on the way ) just the extreme tiredness moody 🫣😂 feeling sick and achy but if I have a day of not feeling sick I'm waiting to feel sick because it's kind of a reassurance for me mad I know !

12 weeks pregnant and I feel I've been quite lucky with my symptoms. Was dreading morning sickness/vomiting, but I've only been experiencing some slight nausea at times. However, I am absolutely exhausted all the time. I work from home and I basically have to take a nap at noon or else I won't function for the rest of the day. 😅

I get the occasional cramp, and I do have a lot of bloating and constipation, but that might be because of iron tablets I'm taking. I also don't fancy certain foods at all, but haven't had any crazy cravings yet. 😊

With my first I had nausea from about 6 weeks which lasted until around 11/12. This time I'm 4 weeks and already feel awful! I think it depends how sensitive you are to progesterone and hCG? I have realised I start to feel slight nausea after ovulation until a couple of days before my period.

With my 2nd I had strange spotting and awful mood swings. Then HG from 7-29 weeks

I'm 11 weeks tomorrow, and so far:

  • absolutely wiped out for weeks 5-8, woke up at 8:55 for 9am WFH start, went to bed at 7pm
  • bad cramps at 5-7 weeks which woke me up in the night, I got these checked out in case of ectopic
  • morning sickness and all day retching and nausea from week 7 and still going on 🎉
  • sore boobs and nipples, on and off since I found out
  • dizziness at about 5 weeks, that passed very quickly but I still get it every now and then
  • acne that won't go away on one area of my cheek, flared up regularly since about week 6
  • addiction to mangoes, aversion to my favourite conditioner 😬 and to water 🥴
  • suddenly feeling faint
  • crying at some nice pictures of a castle (made me feel unhinged)
  • bloating and terrible wind (both ends).

Hope it's all going well for everyone, I feel like we get a raw deal...!
