What was your first pregnancy symptom and at what DPO? I'm 4 DPO and know it's too early yet but doesn't stop me from symptom spotting! Grin

Sore nipples while washing in the shower. Tested that day and positive

Same for both pgs

Nausea first pregnancy, tingling nipples second.

Metallic taste in my mouth even before I missed my period. Had this with both pregnancies (thought it was dental filling related first time).

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:20

@namechanger02 when's your AF due? Will you be waiting until til then to test? I'm going to TRY and wait until mine

GoodnightJude1 · 20/01/2020 19:19

All 5 pregnancies I’ve felt overwhelmingly tired then I get very sore/sensitive nipples and lower back ache.

MapofMonday · 20/01/2020 19:19

The weird watery mouth thing.

DC1: a dose of thrush Blush
DC2: suddenly finding pushing the buggy up the moderate hill to our house incredibly hard work.

Nosebleeds

Nuttyaboutnutella · 20/01/2020 19:17

First baby: tingly nipples, tiredness like I've never know even to this day with sleepless nights, and feeling ragey at random people

Second baby: I had the most dreadful trapped wind, to the point I was doubled over in work throughout the day with it. Google said it was hormone-related. I also went off tea.

@bluemoon2468 @charlottees89 I'm 4DPO but have only had slight twinges of cramping here and there. I don't think I've ever had it before but then I've never been paying attention so maybe I have 🤷🏻‍♀️it's still so early and everything says implantation wouldn't of happened yet so I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, she says as she's been googling symptoms at 4DPO for the entire day ha!

Sickness

jeremypaxo · 20/01/2020 19:12

Tiredness and sore boobs.

bluemoon2468 · 20/01/2020 19:11

@charlottees89 me too! Really, really bad cramping today, like period pains which is so weird at 4DPO.

rosewater20 · 20/01/2020 19:10

Currently, 22 weeks and my first symptoms were what I would typically associate with an oncoming period, but the symptoms were magnified. I had intense cramping, bloating and very sore breasts.

user1493494961 · 20/01/2020 19:10

Smell of food.

MrsBudd · 20/01/2020 19:08

Burping!

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:05

Glad I found this post..I'm about 4 days DPO (first time TTC) and have had the worst cramps/ bloating. Never felt like this before, usually I would only get mild cramps just before a period. Also been suffering from headaches which again I never get unless I'm ill or hungover 😣. I don't want to symptom spot either but I just don't feel 'right'. Only time will tell I guess 🤞🏻

Lilice · 20/01/2020 18:57

I dont remember with my previous pregnancies but this time I had a heavy feeling behind pubic bone from 7dpo and then sore boobs especially on the sides and underneath

Togepi · 20/01/2020 18:17

After implantation but before missed period I just felt really "off". I couldn't put my finger on it, I just felt kinda weird and not myself. Took a test and it was very faintly positive!

Around the time of my missed period my boobs and especially nipples became extremely sore.

I have been horrendously ill with nausea and vomiting this pregnancy (still going strong at 16 weeks!) but that didn't start until about week six or seven.

blossomberry · 20/01/2020 18:09

I felt lightheaded and slightly dizzy the day before af was due. Sadly ended in mc at 8 weeks though.

keepingbees · 20/01/2020 15:54

Around the time I was due on I felt slightly lightheaded with bouts of dizziness, had period cramps on and off and was really thirsty. Nausea started around week 5 and sickness week 6.

littletandme · 20/01/2020 13:54

Sore boobs then mild cramps.

ecuse · 20/01/2020 13:38

Crazy sore boobs. All 3 times.
