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.

Not being able to force down a third glass of wine on a night out. I thought I had the flu. (Had done a test and it had come back negative so was happily drinking in ignorance...)

I had weird dreams - I would 'find' a baby somewhere on its own and felt I needed to look after it. ????!

I'm not usually so woooo. I also felt my boobs were bigger

Vomiting.

Cramps and bonkers dreams.

Ooh and at about 2 months I got "lightning boob" for a couple of weeks - sudden agonising bolts of stabby pain in one boob. That was heinous?

Overwhelming fatigue starting a few days before missed period with all three pregnancies

Boobs went up a cup size in the week I should have started my period. Plus vomiting which continued for the rest of the pregnancy.

Metallic taste

Minging metallic taste in my mouth (that lasted the whole 40 weeks), hyperemesis (that also lasted the whole 40 weeks), severe aversion to kitchen/dishwasher smells, aversion to lentils, aversion to garlic, sore boobs, weird cramps, spotting when period was due.

Lower back ache, in a way I'd never had before and feeling a bit faint/off. I also had implantation bleeding. My symptoms were 2 days before my period was due.

With DS (first), it was an itchy biffer and a "full" feeling in my uterus...hard to explain, but an awareness of its presence in my pelvic cavity. Did a test a few days later on the due date of period.

With DD, it felt weird breastfeeding DS, it tingled and pulled more, even though he was 22 months at the time. Did the test a few days later couple of days before period due).

Then the HG set in both times at 5-6 weeks.

Going about everyday life as normal, on our way to work, when suddenly felt like I was going to puke, crap myself and pass out at the same time on my way to work. Made DH pull over (we commute together) and ran into a pub restaurant which was technically closed but door left unlocked. Went into the loos and failed to puke or poop. Momentarily passed out in the middle of the empty pub. Got myself back up again before DH became concerned, the wave of weirdness passed, went back to the car and got DH to drive me home instead of continuing to work. Nobody noticed a weird woman broke into the pub, passed out, got back up again and left...! Still no idea why all this happened. It only happened on one other occasion during the pregnancy.

First time - went off tea, still cant drink it 14 years later. Then the nausea, complete and utter nausea. To the point of blinking made me want to vomit. Went to the doctor with what i thought was food poisoning as it had been a week and was getting worse.

Second time - identical nausea.

Third time - the nausea again.

I felt like I just 'knew'

But my skin turned really oily, it was gross, and I had strange vivid dreams and a tingling in my chest, that was before I was due to test.

As soon as I hit six weeks the crippling sickness arrived and stayed till the bitter end..

Waking up at 5am and being wide awake when I can usually sleep all day if left to my own devices

First symptom? Period didn't arrive.

Craving ice cream and gecko at the thought of eating chicken

Sick not gecko lol

Never ever sick or felt sick.

Hungry and knackered. Huge tingly veiny boobs.

Mint sauce passion and drank gallons of it during all 4 pregnancies. All my kids detest the sight or smell of it.

Ridiculously itchy nipples

Sore boobs to the point where I'd wince if I had to open the fridge door without a bra on. Both times it was the first symptom before any missed periods.

Needing to wee in the middle of the night and it smelt different.

My mum fainted the day before she got a positive preg test.

First one was feeling really nauseous at 5 weeks! I remember visiting my family a month earlier and saying I wouldn't be having kids for years, if ever! I laugh thinking that I was a week pregnant then..

Second (well potentially because I'm not sure for definite yet!) I've had symptoms since a week after sex. The first thing was just a very full feeling in my uterus... Most recent ones have been sharp pains in boob, stitch in left side and crying a lot!

Sore right nipple.
Extreme fatigue.
Positive test 6 days before missed period.

First pregnancy it was a horrid metallic taste in my mouth that just wouldn't go away

Second time I just didn't feel right but couldn't put my finger on what it was. I didn't feel ill just felt odd, then suddenly thought maybe it's because I'm pregnant so did a test and it was positive
