Because this is a good topic for me right now what where your pregnancy symptoms and when?

Heartburn, nausia, sore "ladies", fatigue, sense of smell, off to certain foods, ext.

Right now hot dogs will make me want to hurl, and my stomach is flippy, that and I am tired (today only though).

Did telling yourself its all in your head ever help? That is what i am trying. and failing.

Just M: Doc said that according to my period and everything we are looking at six weeks but we will find out October 1rst with the ultrasound. They are doing it early due to the fact I am high risk. Around here we usually ultrasound for the first time at 12 weeks.

What can I do next?

Mainly I was exhausted. There were food aversions (no beef throughout any of my 3 pregnancies *yuck*), food cravings (dr. pepper and cheetoes! lol), eating the SAME foods for weeks (spaghetti with cold sauce and cheese), heartburn, sciatica (boo!), restless legs, carpal tunnel syndrome, insomnia, irritability, weepiness (crying at toilet paper commercials), nesting

With my daughter, I had really bad burps during the first 12 weeks. Like very foul smelling. And I didn't eat anything different during those 12 weeks. Once I was further along, I craved chewy sweets (skittles, gummy bears, etc) and Zesty Italian dressing (always been a ranch fan).

With my son, I was much more tired but I also had a toddler running around. I would nap nightly for at least an hour!!! I had nausea with him and would drink tea and clear caffeine free sodas. I also craved those huge pickles with tons of sodium in them. I ate one last week and almost threw up because it was so salty and tart.

Telling myself it was all in my head did not help. I just gave into my cravings!

Good luck and congratulations. I hope to be in the same boat within the next six months so hopefully we'll see what's different the third time around!

mostly just nausea and food aversions, then came the cravings. I did have headaches and sometimes it felt like my vision got a little blury or i got dizzy or something like that. I think it was just low blood sugars or a drop in blood pressure because it was always short lived and got better when i ate.

I was really nauseous. Water tasted like metal...like I was drinking it out of a metal cup with a metallic aftertaste. And probably the "oddest" symptom (had it with both my pregnancies) was a little spot that was numb on/next to my left ear. It was odd... Just a little numb spot that made me want to rub it all the time. I'm sure it was the increased fluids/blood flow that just increased pressure to some little narrow blood vessel somewhere in there... but it happened both times. Went away as soon as the kiddos were birthed.
