First trimester, what was it like for you?

Question

What were your first pregnancy symptoms and when did they begin, and how long did they last?

Answer

With my first pregnancy I was having a boy - I found out I was pregnant before I even missed my period, just by chance, but I had mild cramps around the time my period was due, the mild cramping lasted on and off my entire pregnancy, I didn’t really experience morning sickness per se, but I would randomly just throw up. Only happened a few times though, mostly in the early months. However, I felt motion sick in the car all the time. Breast tenderness like a mofo also in the early months. I can’t remember if that symptom was an on going thing or not, lots of weight gain and water retention, my legs and feet swelled SO bad, and despite the myth that boys make you more beautiful and girls steal your beauty, with my son my skin was super dull and I had a weird pink rash on my chin literally my whole pregnancy that would not go away no matter what I did. 
With my daughter, totally different experience. Found out I was pregnant. The motion sickness was the only similarity which is what prompted me to test after my period was 3 days late. Had awful nausea from week 6-14. But never actually got sick. Just felt hungover for weeks. No rash. My skin looked better than ever. And a metallic taste. Less weight gain, minimal swelling.

Answer

With my first I had moderate nausea from week 7-10 but kept up with day to day life. With my second I was bedridden from week 7-13 because I was so sick. Barely got one snack sized meal down per day and the meds my doctor gave me did nothing. 
Currently pregnant with #3. Nausea and heartburn started at 4 weeks before I had even taken a test. Miserable but manageable. It’s finally starting to lift now at almost 12 weeks. Knowing it’s our last baby makes it easier to deal with.

Answer

1st: Nauseous and beyond tired. Ended after I lost the baby.
2nd: My saliva turned foamy and I looked like a rabid dog. I also vomited 136 times a day due to HG until I got medication built up in my system and it dropped to 50 times a day. I was also beyond exhausted and could only sleep. All symptoms lasted until after baby was born.
3rd: Same symptoms until baby was born, but the HG wasn't as bad. My HG started at vomiting 50 times a day and went down to 20 with medication. 
4th: Nausea that lasted the whole pregnancy and horrible heartburn the whole time.

Answer

With my first baby no symptoms, very easy. I worked the whole pregnancy up until a day before my induction except constipation. This pregnancy I have nausea and i’m really tired and constipated. I’m 5 w 5 d today

Answer

4 weeks exactly. Had hg. Puked 20+ times a day. Lasted until after my son was born.
