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.

MrsJ12,
Omg .
I had that metal taste in my mouth in the early stages of pregnancy
Also I can't explain it but I just felt different .

Cramping but no period and very sore boobs. I also smell different when I'm pregnant and get that hormonal smell straight away

another one with incredible heightened sense of smell (could smell a tuna sandwich from a mile away), boobs hurt, 'pulling' sensation in my stomach and soon hungry - the first 5 months I HAD to eat between meals as just felt awful if I didn't. And over all that just threw up if I so much as sniff cigarette smoke or any unpleasant smell.

First pregnancy - within a couple of days of conception coffee tasted weird and quickly turned into full on aversion then tingling breasts a week later. Was completely unsurprised at positive test.

Second pregnancy - no symptoms until 1 day late when I had mild backache. Was very surprised (and thrilled) to be pregnant. Within a week I was vomiting and couldn't stand the smell of coffee so it caught up with me.

Twinges and pulls in pubic/ pelvic area right from ov to around 7 or 8 weeks. Also the weirdest and most vivid dreams I've ever experienced, from ov to perhaps 5 weeks. After that I pretty much had every symptom going - excruciatingly sore boobs, extreme fatigue etc. Morning sickness wasn't too bad though. Hit 10 weeks and felt loads better, the only symptom now (16 weeks) are a few cramps and pulls every once in a while.

I also went off coffee and tea. I'm 37 weeks now and still can't drink coffee, although I was OK with tea again after about 20 weeks.

Cramps, with the total absence of a period, and breasts were INSANELY tender. Also had elevated temperature for 16 days (I was temping and charting) which is what finally niggled me to to a test.

i had been on a day out and stopped off for a drink with my boyfreind (now ex husband) i just burst into tears and told him i missed my mum! i still lived with her! i couldnt stop crying so went to see her and she guessed i was pregnant!

other symptoms was food smells, soup and chicken, any thing herby. i also went off tea and coffee and diet coke. i had a weird sense of urgency to drink water if i felt pleased with myself (for helping someone etc)
never did understand that one.

turns out it was twins

A constant stuffy nose which carried on through my first trimester. I had this with both DDs and almost from conception. Also a heightened sense of smell and fatigue.

Boobs went up a cup size, not wanting to drink booze and the thought of eating chicken made me vom. Also felt like I had a hangover every morning, not sick but just a bit rough.
Took me ages to do a test though, really thought I couldn't be.

Bigger boobs, being sick and falling asleep on the couch in the afternoon.

ATM the absence of my usual horrendous PMT and physical symptoms I get before my period (due today/tomorrow) plus what feels like a developing UTI. I have done two cheap tests but both negative. Will by a better one today. Been ttc DC2 for almost a year and had an early miscarriage a few months ago so fingers crossed.

I had symptoms of a UTI, nothing else!

A few weeks later the morning sickness hit though.

Actually, I've just remembered it was also the incredible thirst. I kept waking up really needing to drink and finding my boobs uncomfortable to sleep on.

sudden pain in boob...lasted about 20 seconds. Within about 2 weeks of conception

a couple of weeks after that went right off coffee

Feeling like I'd been on a long bike cycle or I'd been kicked between the legs a few days after ovulation.
Being incredibly hot!
Waking up starving!!
Missing my bed all day.
'Different' strong cramps.
Terrible trapped wind.
Crying in all sorts of silly situations!
Not obvious symptoms, almost 11 weeks in now and only I've seen baby on screen, had several positive tests and missed periods, I could have written off all these 'symptoms'.
Good luck OP, hope you get the result you want.

Oh.. Incredible pain when sneezing and tingly boobs

lager
tasted funny!

I felt sick pretty much straight away, combined with headaches and thirst. Knew I was pregnant about 5 days before period was due. A friend of mine didn't know until she was 3 months in...! And even then that was just a feeling, no real symptoms. Mad.

Sore boobs, AWOL period
