What were your first pregnancy symptoms?

[Fitmommy]

Hey I'm new here not sure I'm posting in the right place I'm on mobile.. and don't really want to ask anyone i actually know. I'm having different symptoms to my first little one. But tingling in my chest. And really bad cramping like I'm about to start period but not arriving. Cramps have been two full days now. I am due in 2 days all tests negative so far.

Insomnia. I'm usually a really sound sleeper and I know I'm pregnant before I even test because I can't sleep.

Metallic taste in my mouth.

I always know I'm pregnant (three times) and always within a week - 7dpo onwards. Really windy (!), backache, sore boobs, the washing powder smells funny and food doesn't taste quite right - all before a missed period!

Spotting blood and strangely excess saliva. Would wake up to soaked pillow every morning, gah!

farting, trapped wind pain, not wanting to eat anything I enjoy eating and having odd cravings for stuff that I wasn't used to having or didn't have in the house. A feeling of dread and poison every time I had an alcoholic drink.

Huge appetite and boobs which increased by about 50% in size and soreness. I have small boobs. I was forced to wear a bra which I don't normally do because walking was painful.

sensitivity to immac!

happened with my first when i knew i was pg, then used some while ttc, and thought 'ohh... hang on' sent my mum out for a test - was working on a Sunday or a Saturday for some reason, and there it was! the little blue line

Really tired with veiny boobs and big nipples ( attractive!)

Insane hunger. Like, lunch 3 times hunger. And exhaustion.

And then ginormous boobs.

2 days before period was due I felt I'll crampy and tired I decided to do a test the next day it was a strong positive

Tender breasts and 'different' cramps then period ones.

Dizziness and sore boobs.

Kept getting lines on sticks!

Going off booze.

And, latterly, just knowing.

Nothing really in first three pregnancies until well after period would have been due. Then sore boobs and from 8/9 weeks pregnant continuous vomming. This pregnancy I fell asleep on the sofa at about 13dpo. Just felt absolutely exhausted.

Hungry, exhausted, off alcohol and sore boobs!

oh and when drying my hair with hair dryer, it felt like it was burning me

Oh and I had so many cramps on one side I was worried about an ectopic, turns out it was the side I ovulated from

Bleeding gums, everything smelled like garbage (before missed period).

Sensitive boobs and ridiculous thirst! I was gulping pints of water every half hour (I'm normally like a camel)

My cat knew before I did. He became obsessed with me and wouldn't stop sniffing me and purring.

Also, I cried at everything and needed to wee at night.

Sore boobs. Wind type pains in stomach. Thinking everything smelled of garlic - that never left me for the whole of my pregnancies.

Constant sickness from 3 weeks+. On the tea front I went off it from the start of my first pregnancy and still can't drink it now...my youngest is almost 7!

Couldn't stand any smells, not even my shower gel and had to breathe through my mouth in the shower.

Also, I was so grossed out by all food but super hungry because there was almost nothing I could eat. I was even disgusted by bland things like bread and plain potatoes.
