Ethansmommies- I survived my pregnancies because of anti-nausea drugs. Such a relief! I'm glad you are feeling better. Congrats on another boy!!! :-D

In my first pregnancy I had almost no symptoms. My breasts were sore (but it didn't bother me) and one day I had joint pains all over, but that was it. It was a good, easy pregnancy. This time I am having almost no symptoms as well. Before I knew I was pregnant I though I had the flu (for 2 weeks haha), but that was probably some morning sickness. I also have sore breasts. That's it though, nothing else. I am lucky with pregnancies. :)

Just like me blckrose4u101, still remember the time that I was pregnant with my little girl.I had a morning sickness and I keep on vomiting that last from 2 months of my pregnancy until 7 months. I was thin at that time because every after I am done eating I then vomit and vomit.

I've been pregnant 5 times and I think I have had all of the pregnancy symptoms by now! I seemed to have new ones every pregnancy and then there are always the standard ones--heartburn, stuffy nose, nausea.

This last pregnancy though, I had restless leg syndrome. It is weird cause my legs just wanted to move when I was trying to sleep! It was very annoying. Did anyone else experience this?

It's horrible, I don't see how I can stand it myself, although I joke around and say that I am taking the symptoms my sister didn't have because she had a very easy pregnancy. I've also tried everything, its really weird because drinking gingerale will work one day and then have no effect the next day. I went to my doctor and she gave me some pills to help, although I don't like taking them because i get really tired and lazy. I can't wait to get my baby out, it feels like it is just around the corner!

Oh my gosh. that is a long time to have all day nausea. That doesn't seem fair at all! Have you talked to your doctor at all about getting some medication to help with that? Have you tried the ginger teas? Gingerale? Ginger candy? I know that helps a lot of people. You are just going to feel so much better once you have that baby-you won't believe that you were able to tolerate being nauseas for so long. I'm also hoping some of the other members can help with other ideas for nausea. Hang in there, things can only get better! -Jess

I'm a little over 35 weeks pregnant and I have had morning sickness the entire time since i was 6 weeks pregnant. Morning sickness is the worst thing for me, but it also lasts all day instead of just being in the morning like everyone else.

Wow - sounds like lots of people had stuffy noses! Guess I was lucky to skip that one! My least favorite symptom was the pressure that pregnancy put on my sciatic nerve and I'd get SHOOTING pain down my hip and right leg. That wasn't fun. :-/
