to ask you what your earliest symptoms were in pregnancy?

[LemmyJ]

I'm 16 weeks pg and first noticed symptoms about a week before my missed AF. Friends and family disbelieve this and seem to think I must have imagined the symptoms so, out of interest when were your first symptoms of pregnancy and what were they?

The minute I hit 4 weeks pregnant,I started to feel REALLY sick. Up until that point,I hadn't known for sure that I definitely WAS pregnant. Had come out of hospital 5 days previously after a minor op,and DP had to phone my GP for some blood test results. One of the results was a positive pregnancy test. DP excitedly relays this news to me,and I said I thought as much,as I had felt nauseous for the last 5 hours for no apparent reason. My boobs also felt achey and I had a strange,metallic taste in my mouth.

Nothing, no symptoms at all. Thought it was all imagined, both times. Tiredness toward end of first trimester then very emotional last trimester and just from getting very large.

I loved being pregnant.

I felt exhausted 4 days before period and took a test it was positive I felt different right from the start. The exhaustion has continued right up to 7 months and im sure once she is here I'll be even more tired !

needing to sit down in the pub. Not wanting to finish my drink (alcohol) because it tasted funny.
Faint sickness in the evening.
Finding drunk people incredibly annoying.

Just rereading the thread YES YES YES thedogsvgina you have just reminded me, I had a feeling when the egg was fertilised, felt like a whoosh! Had it with DC1&2, DC2 that I miscarried.

I also have a strong pain when I ovulate, can be so painful I take painkillers, when I was very young thought it must be appendicitis. Its a real medical thing, has a German name.

Very mild palpitations with my first and extremely sore boobs.

With my current pregnancy I massively went off wine, love a glass or two at the weekends but literally couldn't even smell it, it was foul. DM was the same apparently.

And let's not forget the extreme unrelenting tiredness!

I got a double chin and a fat neck about a week before i was due to come on, noticed it when I looked in the mirror getting ready to go out. Made myself a cup of tea- couldn't drink it cos the STENCH OF TEA WAS AWFUL. Went to meet DP on the pub, kissed him hello, retched at the smell of booze - and then I just knew.

Sharp pains in my left buttock about 2 days before my period was due. I had terrible SPD both pregnancies.

Painful cramps after orgasm, just a 'feeling' after sex a strange thud in right ovary as driving up the M25 a couple of days after DTD.
Tested and BFP straight away.
I think if you're quite sensitive to your body and don't numb it through drinking etc, you know pretty soon.

Extreme tiredness was trusted to work from home and am always very honest about this but just fell asleep from 4pm- 7am right through!!

About a week before my period was due I said to DH 'I feel strange, not Ill but just strange' when we were staying at a hotel in a foreign country. I was a bit more in tune with my body so I could look out for malaria and the like.

Then on the journey home I was unbelievably hot (and stayed that way for the entire pregnancy) and finally when I got home and I was exhausted for about a week. I put it down to severe jet lag even though I'd only been in a country with about a five hour time difference!

Really dodgy tummy about a week after I conceived. Happened both times but I only recognised it was a symptom by looking back at dates. Didn't actually confirm pg for 8 weeks with first and 6 weeks with second.

Period type pains
Vomiting
Extreme aversions to fried greasy food

Never had any notable symptoms except veiny breasts, the bump and tiredness from about six weeks. But every time I knew I was pregnant within 24/48 hours. I have no idea how but I did. Every time (three third trimester pgs, two 2nd, at least four mc's before 6/7 weeks). I had very very faint nausea with the unsuccessful pgs which contradicts the research I think.

I also had symptoms very early and people didn't believe me, I was extremely tired about a week after ovulation and my nipples got darker. A weird smell also made me feel really sick and encouraged me to take a test which was positive about 5 days before period was due. I had a girl, and have heard that these early symptoms can indicate a girl - but probably an old wives tale!

Cramp. Excruciating foot and leg cramp even before I missed a period. I always knew almost immediately.

In the first 6 weeks - extreme sensitivity to any odour whatsoever. 6 weeks onwards came the sore boobs. Then the exhaustion and aversion to water, which was the only drink aside from tea that I ever drank!

Extreme tiredness

Feeling sick & going completely off tea.

Same as you - so extremely tired I couldn't move. DP accused me of being lazy and not wanting to help clean the flat (didn't funnily enough). All a week before AF. Turns out I was having twins!

Went off vegetables and meat in a big way

Sore nipples the first few times. Then, with DS, nothing until about nine weeks when I looked at my work diary and realised there was a reason why I had been feeling a bit off colour recently.

Needing to wee all the time - like 3/4 times in an hour, and being super breathless when doing little things like walking up stairs

Big nipples and needing a wee more often!

Hello,

I'm new here and have just found out I'm pregnant. It is my first time and I am a bit worried.

I don't know what to expect really but going by the day of my last period I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and have had no symptoms but I've had 3 positive clear blue tests over the last week and a bit.

The only thing I have noticed is what seem to be period pains but no actual period and a very bloated tummy (my jeans won't do up).

So should I be worried about the period like cramps and lack of symptoms? I know I'm probably wing silly but I'd appreciate any insight.

Thanks x
