12w4d...wanna compare symptoms?
So, today I am 12w4d....here's what's been happening with me for the last 24 hours (it changes so often, I figure that's the best time frame for comparison!)
Heartburn
Lotion-y vaginal discharge
Sore bbs (with a lot of 'shocks'...all of a sudden, a burst of something shoots through them..wakes me up in the middle of the night)
Bizarro-world dreams
Waking 2-3x a night to pee-pee
Severe carpal tunnel/tingling in hands
Cramps (so bad last night that I went to the bathroom to check for bleeding..but seem to be worse at night then during the day)
Stabs of pain in my Ya-Ya and right above pelvic area
Hemorrhoid pain
I'm taking everything to mean that the baby is growing just fine...but I don't know if I will ever stop worrying that we are going to go to a scan and they are going to say 'I'm so sorry'. I just can't seem to shake that feeling! Our NT scan is on Thursday and while in some ways, I can't wait...I'm also pretty nervous.
Anyone else want to share symptoms at this point?

Ah yes, "pregnancy brain"--*forgot* about that one, lol!
Really, I can't remember what I was doing, or going to do, or thinking, or keep things straight for the life of me. Add that to the fact that I'm trying to plan and organize my wedding in a month, my fiance moving in and getting things situated this week, keeping track of my 4½ year old's extracurricular schedule, and having a major project going on at work right now...I'm a scatterbrained nutcase!
On top of that, my mom is doing all she can to help me plan for my wedding, and getting a bridal shower together, but she's on chemo right now and therefore has "chemo brain" combined with my "pregnancy brain." I just realized last night that when she'd asked me for a lists of addresses to send invitations out this week, I'd forgotten to give her three *important* addresses--now let's see if I can remember to call her today to let her know...then we'll see if she remembers to actually send them...
As a backup, I think I'll just personally tell the people they're invited and that I apologize in advance if they don't receive an invitation, lol.

Thank you everyone for posting your symptoms! I feel so much more "normal" now!
I am 12wks5days and I am finally moving out of the constant all-day-sickness phase into some more enjoyable things... though plenty of grossness and pain too:
- Breasts continue to hurt, with that "tearing" feeling every once in a while. Doesn't help that my cat likes to walk accross them while I am trying to sleep...
- Spin from ravenous to mildly nauseated in about 2 seconds flat... sometimes in the middle of eating something that tasted AMAZING 2 seconds earlier.
- GOOD SYMPTOM: Food tastes incredible. I'd heard this before from friends, but I had no idea what they meant. This just started a few days ago. Everything I have eaten this week has been the best whatever (pickle, pizza, steak, snickers bar, carrot, etc) that I have ever tasted.
- Lower abdominal pain on and off, especially when I climb stairs, sneeze, bend over, get up, etc.
- When I lie on my side I can feel my uterus communicating with gravity... it's not very comfortable and makes sleeping difficult.
- vaginal discharge, check, and it makes me run to the bathroom half the time to make sure I'm not bleeding.
- Today for the first time I have started having to urinate very often, always productively (so no UTI worries), but not anywhere near as much fluid to pass as should relate to the urgency.
Finally, I have definitely been suffering from pregnancy brain. I've started getting used to it, but if I don't tatoo something backwards on my forhead and stare at myself in the mirror, I am simply not going to remember to get it done.

I forgot to mention the stretch marks on my BBS! Now, I'm not (nor ever was) a big girl...I was an 'a' or 'barely b' most of my adult life. Now, I'm struggling to fit into the 'c' and the stretch marks are there to prove it!!
Yep, I haven't slept through the night since finding out I was pregnant! I'm either peeing or laying there, watching tv....I was able to get naps for a little while, but I just had a 2 month start in my home-care and it's not too easy to fall asleep with him around ;)

You know what else drives me nuts. I am so tired at bed time but either I lie there awake forever or else I fall asleep quickly but then wake up a few times a night. Ughhh. I would love to sleep through the night. :) I am not even getting up to pee. Nope, I wake up for no reason and listen to DH snore.
Oh, I can tell my wee one is on a growth spurt!!! I'm feeling every moment of it, and it's...uuugggghhhh...but I enjoy it so much, too!
Hmmm...thanks for the info. I didn't think about the correlation between the growth spurt and the cramps! See what lack of sleep does for you?!? :)
Most of my first trimester symptoms are pretty much gone. I am 12w2d... I still have sore bbs with huge blue veins and am fatigued. No more morning sickness tho. I do dread sneezing as the round ligament pain is terrible. I have noticed like u ladies that at 12 weeks I did start getting AF like cramping again. But this is also the time when the baby starts to do a rapid growth spurt and the uterus starts to peek above the pubic bone so it is normal to be pretty sore right now. :)
OH! That makes me feel so much better....isn't it funny how misery loves company?? :) Not that I'm complaining, either...I'm thrilled to be pregnant and as one of my MH friends says "Every Day is a Victory".
I forgot about my rib pain. Eeek! If I eat too much (or too fast), my left rib feels like it's going to pop right out of my skin!! ;)
AND I'm completely with you on the food thing. One minute, I can't stand the thought of anything and the next minute, I'm stuffing food so fast that I look ridiculous!

I am 12 weeks 2 days today, and my symptoms are:
-Sore breasts; that seems to never go away.
-Cramping/ligament pain, especially after a stretch or (TMI) when trying to make a BM.
-Whacked out appetite; can't tell when I'm gonna be hungry/ravenous or nauseated and disgusted with food from one moment to the next.
-Needing to pee at least every 20-45 minutes during the day and 2-3 times at night.
-Much lighter sleeping, even though I go to bed exhausted each night.
-Lower back pain on some days.
-I think my waistline has gained at least 1-2 inches in two days, because I've gone from being able to bend over with ease to feeling like my whole torso has become immobile and unflexable to bend since this weekend. I can barely bend down to pick something off the floor or tie my shoes since this weekend, even if I bend at the knees! When I bend, my innards feel like they get squashed into my ribs (ouch!), it's incredibly hard to breathe, and I think every ounce of blood rushes to my head and makes my head feel like it'll burst open.
Bleh.
But at least I know this all means Baby is making progress, so I can't complain about that! I wish I could get another u/s done for my next appointment, but I won't get another one again until late September. :-(
The last one I had was at my first appointment when I was 7 weeks 1 day.
