Sore ears! Like the outer ear part was so sore when I slept on it that I bought some new, fancy pillows (made no difference!) I've been pregnant 4 times and each time the sore ear weirdness has been the first sign 😂

Heartburn and couldn't stand the smell of my morning coffee.

Dd1 Sickness
Dd2 I thought I had a kidney infection I went to the doctors. I left without antibiotics in total shock with a emergency appointment at the hospital.
Turns out I was 5mths pregnant with dd2.
23 years after having dd1🤣🤣

Was unable to drink my morning coffee

A crampy/stretchy feeling. I knew. I never have cramps unless I'm actively bleeding on day one and two of AF.

Also had pinkish blood when wiping that didn't progress into AF.

Waking up very very early repeatedly. Normally I struggle every day to get out of bed. Also a strange discomfort in my uterus

Heightened sense of smell. I sat on a bus and felt like vomiting at the overwhelming smell of someone eating biscuits near me.

Literally overnight I felt patience with children. Then I thought "am I pregnant" turns out I wAs.

For me sore nipple

Jessikka · 07/04/2020 21:00

I came out in three coldsores right in the centre of my lip.

When I had a sore throat develop too, I said to my other half "My immune system has taken a serious knock this week" and a lightbulb went off in my head.

We had been TTC so I went to town, bought a test and an obvious BFP. No mistaking it.

Currently 38 weeks! Found out (roughly) 3+6.

Unsettled tummy and really tired.

Marmighty · 07/04/2020 20:52

Used to drink loads of coffee, loved it, then one morning couldn't stomach the thought of it and immediately guessed I was pregnant

AlviesMam · 07/04/2020 20:49

Burping lol!

Leaking boobs with dd1’s pg. dh and I were trying. I woke up one morning with wet patches on my nightie. I tested a few days later to some very faint lines. Left one alone for a bit longer and it was a lot clearer.

PolloDePrimavera · 07/04/2020 20:47

Forgetful, sore boobs and I looked like death. My mum took one look at me and took my to buy a test.
Second time just late period but I had a false negative.

Karwomannghia · 07/04/2020 20:44

I remember having a strong abdominal pain and thinking it was a bit early for my period. It never came. Also that I did not get sore boobs. I’ve had that again since however and have been sterilised and obviously not pregnant.

Mintjulia · 07/04/2020 20:42

I felt very very tired. But I was 44 and already 14 weeks gone. Monthlies were pretty unreliable so I hadn’t realised. I thought I had thyroid problems and went to the GP. Grin

Gag reflex was OTT. Felt like I was going to vom when I tried to yawn.........

SisterA · 07/04/2020 20:35

Unexplainable fatigue and extreme thirst were the first things I noticed. I took the test when my period was a few days late.
