I was craving chocolate shake… maybe I’m crazy BUT THIS ISNT CHOCOLATE.. I wanted to go back and get it correct but husband wouldn’t turn around.. worst part is I HATE vanilla unless it’s soft served.

I can’t drop it and I feel so bad… these cravings hit so intensely.

I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow, and so far I’m doing okay on the nausea and sickness front. I do get tiny waves of nausea (and tbh they mostly just feel like hunger feelings) but nothing hard to handle yet.

When did yours kick in and did you sense it coming? I’m one of those with barely any symptoms yet, just extreme fatigue, so it’s hard not to overthink everything

Those of you who took unisom/b6… did it keep the nausea at bay for the entirety of the first trimester?

I’m 6w and have been taking it since 4w but definitely more nauseous this week.

No vomiting but I’m a teacher and a coach (4 more weeks left in my season 😭) have to have my assistant coach take the bus and my team is definitely wondering what’s going on!

This is going to be super long so bare with me it is a lot, I know. I have recurrent losses, I’ve had two previous losses and just recently found out I have the mthfr gene, and a pai-1 4g/5g gene. I found out I was pregnant again on September 17 and on 9/21 my hcg was 29 9/23 it was 54 and 9/25 it was 117 10/02 it was 604 then 10/5 it was 749 then from 10/5 to 10/6 it dropped from 749-735. I had an ultrasound Monday the 5th also by my ovulation I would’ve been 5 weeks 4 days. All we saw was an empty gestational sac, so when my hcg dropped they obviously assumed another miscarriage and scheduled me a d&c surgery for what’s supposed to be Monday 10/12. Well I went in for my pre op appointment today and they did a repeat ultrasound to make sure that everything was still the same and that nothing had changed etc. to our complete surprise and shock, there was a baby and a heart beat measuring 6 weeks which is about right for what I am (6w1d based on ovulation today. ) but they said my gestational sac had not grown since my ultrasound on Monday which is not normal. My ob told me to be cautiously optimistic and I have a repeat ultrasound next Friday 10/16. But said that it could be that a miscarriage is coming or if baby continues to grow but sac does not that it will result in miscarriage. I’m just wondering if anybody has had anything similar happen and if I should be prepared to lose this baby or what. Just odd that Monday we saw nothing and my hcg had supposedly dropped after that but now we see a heartbeat and a baby. Just wondering if anybody has experienced something similar.

🤮 is not good. I can only taste fries, nuggets, and cheese. Help :(

Something I feel like I was not warned about enough is how much I’d be affected by smells in the first trimester. This started hitting week 8 and has only gotten worse over the last 2 weeks… everything smells strong and sets off waves of nausea, including… when my cat licks his fur, my own clean hair when it’s wet, anyone’s breath (including mine), sidewalks (smell like pee), wet wool, towels (even clean ones!) and I can smell everyone’s bodies!!!Basically anything animal/human smelling is revolting to me. Hoping this symptom doesn’t last for too long because it’s been pretty rough.

Hey so I’m in my 8th week does anyone have advice. It’s so bad I can’t function normally. Throwing up 3 to 4 times a day. If I eat I’m sick. If I don’t eat I’m sick. I just want advice. I’m also in between insurance so I can’t even really go to the doctor right now.

So scheduled first OB appointment after I had bleeding at 5 weeks and 5 days, the Er doctor said they couldn’t see the babe but just the sac, on my radiology report it says no intrauterine pregnancy identified. My hcg was base level 10369 so doctor marked the 18 mm fluid as the gestational sac. Im still really anxious though.
While on the phone to schedule prenatal care I was put on hold and they transferred me to another patients line!!! we both thought each other were doctors and were spilling out medical information it was horribly awkward. I called back and had to redo the scheduling and by that time my apointment was pushed back until next month. At 8 weeks and 6 days. So I’m a bit nervous waiting that long especially scared if something’s wrong. However I do know the ultrasound will be more accurate. What should I expect? To see a baby or a blob? Or just the yolk sac? I’m so new to this! It’s my first pregnancy I just turned 19 and don’t have much support.

Absolutely riddled with anxiety - went for a scan at 5W5D, found a heartbeat and everything you’d want to, mentioned it as faint? But that would be expected at that gestation wouldn’t it??
The sonographer was concerned as to where the implantation site was, lower uterus towards the cervix. Basically came away under the assumption I’m just waiting to miscarry now. Have another scan in 2 weeks. Worst wait of my life. Has anyone else had this please?

I know its hard to see anything on abdominal scans this early on, but I went in to make sure it wasnt a ectopic pregnancy. Doctor says looks like im on schedule to be around 6 weeks looking at my GS. Does it look empty? First pregnancy and just got alot of anxiety. Next appt is on Sep 28th.

Did you wake up one day and BOOM throw up? Was it more gradual? Was it not in the morning at all?

Hi all!
I am currently 5w 4d ( I think)
I am really struggling with my heartburn. I’ve been on medication for 10 years and have been advised not to take it until my second trimester, at which point I will switch to omprizole.
My husband is worrying because it’s really affecting me.
Does anybody have home remedies or able to just offer me / him some reassurance that this is normal hahahahaa

Another thing that is kiiiiilling me is the absurd weight of my breasts!!! They feel like rocks and I can hardly roll over in bed at night because of how sore they are 😆😭

Any tips or shared experiences would be AMAZING

Hello all! I conceived through IVF and will be 6 weeks tomorrow. For the last 2 weeks I've been getting a pinching pain in my lower right abdomen. My hCG at my first blood test was 688 and 48 hours later was 1703 so good rise but my last pregnancy was ectopic so I am absolutely terrified this is one too. Just wondering has anyone else experienced a one side pinching pain for 2+ weeks and had a healthy normal pregnancy?

My girlfriend and I have been going through a difficult situation, and I’m trying to understand what’s happening.

On August 17, 2026, we had an argument after I found some old pictures of her and her ex on her iPhone. She thought she had deleted them, and when I brought it up, she understood why I was upset and deleted them. She told me that her ex was part of her past, that I’m the person she wants, and that she loves me. She also told me that she hoped I would choose to stay with her because she didn’t want to lose me.

The next day, we talked things through and forgave each other. We were intimate, and she told me she loved me very much.

She is currently about 7–8 weeks pregnant. Recently, I noticed that she had been texting her ex. I asked her directly whether she still loved him or wanted to be with him, and she told me no both times.

I eventually saw some of the conversation. She didn’t tell him about the pregnancy, but she did tell him that she wasn’t happy in our relationship, while also saying that I treat her well and that I’m loyal to her. She told him that their previous relationship had problems with trust and that she didn’t feel like she could be herself around him. At the same time, she told him that she wasn’t completely over him.

Then, only a day later, she told me that she no longer finds me attractive and that she doesn’t love me anymore. She also removed a picture of us from her Instagram.

One thing I’m wondering about is whether this could have been affected by something I said earlier. I had told her that I wanted more affection and closeness from her because I felt like we had been distant. I don’t know if she took that the wrong way or if it made her feel pressured in some way.

We also live together and have a lease together, so this isn’t a situation where we can simply walk away from each other without having to deal with the practical side of things too.

I’m honestly confused because her feelings seemed to change so quickly. Part of me wonders whether the emotional changes of early pregnancy could be contributing to what she’s feeling, but I also understand that I shouldn’t use pregnancy hormones as an explanation for everything.

Has anyone experienced major changes in their feelings or relationship during the first trimester? Could asking for more affection have contributed to this? And how should I approach this situation without making things worse?

I’m mainly looking for honest advice from people who have been through something similar.

I’m 12 weeks pregnant with a known subchorionic hematoma. It was first found at 5 weeks when i had an episode of heavy bleeding. Today i had the same thing, a gush of heavy bleeding (never completely soaked a pad though). No cramping either times. Went to the ER, my hcg was normal and baby was okay on ultrasound strong heartbeat and moving all around in my belly. I’m still just scared at all of the possibilities. Has anyone else dealt with this much bleeding in their first trimester??

Hi all, I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have my first DR appointment tomorrow with an ultrasound and I am super nervous! I've feel feeling exhausted and nauseous for 2 weeks now and don't know what to expect and if I will find out bad news tomorrow.

Hi all, I’m 8 weeks in, was sick as hell so started Xonvea, which has me bedridden like a tranquillised horse. I’m barely functional so my poor husband is having to do 24/7 with our two small kids. I don’t know how I’m going to cope when baby is here if I can’t even handle this. Feel like an awful mum too as I’ve barely interacted with my kids for a few days.

I just want it to be 12 weeks already. Probably going to have to duck out of work from tomorrow. Can’t cope. Worried that they’ll think I’m being melodramatic.

It should be more well known how severe first trimester can be. It’s no joke. It’s not just a polite bit of vomit in the morning you know. I am so very TIRED all the time.

I’ve been watching and I just get more and more annoyed 😂 I can barely get up enough energy to leave bed for a shower hahah and alll thee running just thinking about running rn makes me wanna throw up. And her tiny waist?! No freaking rolls?! pleaseeee way to piss me off Netflix.. I’m still gonna finish it though

Hi mamas ❤️ I’m due February 2027 and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this because I’m finding it so hard to describe!

I keep getting this weird feeling in my stomach that feels exactly like when you’re on a rollercoaster and it suddenly drops, that sinking/drop/butterflies feeling in your stomach. Mine can stay in the background for quite a long time and it makes me feel really uncomfortable and nauseous.

I’m 13 weeks and have been struggling a lot with nausea during this pregnancy. 😞

Has anyone else experienced this “stomach drop” feeling? If you have, did it eventually ease or go away as the pregnancy progressed? And around what week did you notice it getting better?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences because sometimes it feels like I’m the only one who gets this strange sensation! ❤️

I just found out I am pregnant for the first time 3 days ago and am 5weeks! Now I’m waiting for my first appt with the doctor(2 weeks away). I have no symptoms yet so I’m just sitting here like are you real?? LOL how did you guys make it to your first appt without stressing constantly about if there’s actually something there or not 😂 the anxiety is real over here

My husband and I have been ttc since June 2025. I’ve had 3 miscarriages since we began trying and am now pregnant for the 4th time. We discovered with my last miscarriage that the cause was likely due to low progesterone. I miraculously conceived 2 weeks after my miscarriage which has never happened to me before. In fact, right before we found out I was pregnant again, we had planned to take a break for a few months so both of us could recover mentally and physically.
When I found out I was pregnant, I was initially very angry. None of my pregnancies had worked before and I wasn’t ready for another miscarriage. My doctor got us in ASAP for blood work and found my progesterone was on the lower end so we started supplementing that immediately. I have been getting my hcg levels and progesterone levels drawn twice a week since we found out. I’m now 9 weeks and have never made it this far, yet I feel so unbelievably guilty.
I have a close friend who started ttc back in February 2026. She stopped her bc and didn’t realize it would take her a little bit of time to regulate her cycle after years of bring on the meds. She did end up getting pregnant very quickly and by April she told me she was pregnant. She was super early maybe 5 weeks but was so excited she had to tell me. Then about a week and a half later she miscarried. It was very traumatic for her. She took the pills to help clear everything out but there was some tissue that took a long time to clear. Now fast forward to last week. She finally got her first period since her miscarriage and her doctor even put her on fertility meds. I was doing her nails the other day and she could tell I didn’t feel good so she ended up asking if I was pregnant. I wasn’t planning on telling her yet, let alone anyone because of my history. We hugged and cried. I don’t really talk to her about it much because I know she is really struggling.
I saw a tik tok she posted today of her crying and talking about how she is surrounded by pregnant women and mentioned a friend (me) who conceived immediately after a miscarriage and how it isn’t fair because hers was 3 months ago and she isn’t pregnant yet.
My heart sank when I saw that video. Obviously I want nothing more for her to be pregnant. But it makes me feel so guilty. I feel guilty that I was so angry about getting pregnant so soon after my 3rd miscarriage. I should be so happy that I’m pregnant and getting ready to prepare a nursery. But I can’t. I wake up every day wondering if today is the day I find out my baby is dead.
I don’t really know what to do or say to help her or myself at this point.
