pregnancy symptoms I’m having (at 4 weeks)

Yay! I found out I’m preeeeeggggnant with the loml. Here at the top symptoms I’ve been having at just shy of 5 weeks!

1.) the sweats/extreme BO

- okay no no one prepared me for this set of symptoms.

I’ve been having the worst hot flashes (especially in the nighttime) that have been driving me up the wall. I’ll be freezing cold and all of the sudden, BOOM I’m uncontrollably sweating. With that comes with BO like you couldn’t imagine. Armpits, down there, you name it. Right now I’m applying my deodorant 2-3 times a day

2.) extreme nipple/breast sensitivity

- Okay, this I was somewhat expecting, but not to the extremity it has been! I sneeze? My nips hurt. I gag from smell sensitivity? My nips HURT. I’ve been having to wear bralettes in my sleep to protect them. I can feel the discomfort 24/7 (don’t be scared tho it’s still manageable)

3.) smell sensitivity

- I can smell anything and everything. Just right now I had to leave the room because the smell of my boyfriend’s Raisin Bran was so horrible I couldn’t stop gagging. I also hate the smell of anything citrusy right now? And don’t even get me started on toothpaste lol.

4.) bloating

- Once again, I knew this would happen, but not so early. My uterus is already poking out a little, and my upper stomach is super stiff. I’m already in maternity leggings because my jeans are too tight on my stomach! I haven’t even gained any weight, so I was shook when I put on my favorite jeans and I couldn’t bear to wear them for more than 30 seconds.

5.) cramps cramps cramps

- this scared me at first, but after looking into it, it’s totally normal! I’ve been having what feels like period cramps in waves! Not soooo bad, but still super uncomfortable.

6.) irritability

- I saved this one for last because I don’t have much to say lol, I’m just crabby af like all the time. Especially when it comes to work and my poor boyfriend!

Hear me out - twins???? At this point I would not be surprised. Regardless, I’m super excited for the journey and to be a mom! Any advice, tips, anything is much appreciated as this is my first pregnancy!
