I want to be sure I document my symptoms so that I know what to expect for next time. I have really bad short term memory.
My symptoms haven't been that bad really, which is why I was so surprised to find out that I was pregnant. If you don't like gory details, then I wouldn't read this post.
I was extremely moody. This is a normal symptom when I PMS, but it was really bad. I felt like I was not myself.
Normally a syptom of pregnancy is that you start to break out. Well I'm always breaking out anyway, and it usually gets a lot worse around the time I'm supposed to start. But this time my face was really clear. Now it's started to break out a little since then, but in general my face looks better than usual (as far as breakouts are concerned).
On Saturday night the 16th we went out for dinner with Dusten's parents. After dinner I started to feel really weird. I started to feel sick like I was hungry, but I knew I wasn't hungry because I had just eaten dinner. The feeling lasted all through the whole day on Sunday. Then that next week I just started being really, really hungry all the time. I still am. I eat at 6:30 am, 10 am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and sometimes again after that depending how late I go to bed. I've tried to just split up my meals so I'm eating smaller amounts every time instead of eating big meals 5 times a day.
I also noticed that I have started having hiccups more frequently. I rarely if ever have hiccups, but before I found out I was pregnant I had them, and I have had them a couple times since.
I've also had a lot more gas. I don't think it's an official symptom of pregnancy, but if the amount of gas I have is directly proportional to the amount of gas our baby is going to have, it's going to be trouble!
Also my nails started breaking. I have noticed this mostly in the past week. I have been on prenatal vitamins for over a year, and have had very strong hair and nails. Now all those vitamins are being sucked out of me and I'm starting to see the effects.
My pants are already starting not to fit. This is probably because I am eating more and probably just gaining weight and I'm probably way bloated, but the rubber banding the jeans is probably going to start happening a little sooner than later.
