Just wondered what everyone's very first early days symptoms were? The reason you considered taking a test?

Intense, sudden nausea from smells. I instantly knew I was pregnant by this, way before I took a test. I think I was 7 days late when the nausea and increased sense of smell hit

Debilitating stomach pains. It was so bad that once i had the positive test i wept like a baby because i was sure it was ectopic, or a miscarriage. Nope, constipation! DD is 8m and my guts are still a nightmare.

Spent most of the day at work running to the loo fòr a wee, very unusual, got to about 4.00 and realised hadn’t had a period for a few weeks, couldn’t wait to finish work and go pee on that stick!

Period pains for months. I checked my knickers multiple times a day until I was about 5 months pregnant because I was certain I would miscarry at any moment due to the cramps. Also extremely tender breasts. Then not long after came the nausea and superhuman sense of smell.

I took a test the first day after my period was due. I didn’t have any symptoms then (and have never really had them strongly).

With first pregnancy, it was my boobs. Instantly huge. This pregnancy, my sense of smell sharpened in a way it only had when I’d been pregnant. It was the reaction to smells that made me take a test.

Insomnia. I wasn't even due my period yet. It didn't get better. (The night after I gave birth was fantastic though!)
