To ask for your early pregnancy symptoms

[stillawakeat4amagain]

Just that really what were the first things you remember getting before testing?

Sore boobs and feeling like I had a hangover! Turned out to be a baby not gin lurgy though

Unusual burps and tiredness ( fast asleep by 6pm)

Sore boobs, sore lower back, went off fags/coffee

No period pains. I usual had them for about 3 days before coming on.

Dizziness, nausea, lethargic.

Oh and unbelievably tired...like more tired than I’d ever been in my life 😴😴😴😴

Tingle in boobs and metallic taste in mouth.

Sore breasts, nausea, weird taste in my mouth.

Exceptionally tired, headaches and dizziness, breast changes.

I felt pretty much exactly as I did before I got my period, including what felt like period pains. But said period never arrived.

I took a pregnancy test, which was so faint I thought it was negative. I was so convinced I wasn’t pregnant that I thought I was anemic and ate red meat when I normally don’t! Dh came home to find me cooking meat and was . I said “well, I haven’t got my period, but I am not pregnant”. I was!

Oh and with both dcs I immediately gained a few lbs in weight. Dc2 was a complete surprise and I was on a massive health kick when I got my bfp, because I couldn’t understand why I’d gained weight!

Absolute exhaustion! Thought I was ill!

Feeling really hot, like I had a mild temperature and going off milk products.

Nothing remarkable with my first, but I was using a test every other week in horrible desperation, so when I finally had my positive it was super early, before a missed period/symptoms could kick in.

With my second, I was getting ramped up pms symptoms, nausea and very vivid dreams. I didn’t even think I was pregnant as we’d only had ‘an opportunity’ the day after my last period had finished, and the rest of the month was full on due to the eldest being ill/us exhausted. The vivid dreams were a clue, as I’d not had them since (later on) in my previous pregnancy. The nausea, and later full on morning sickness, was unfortunately new.

I was TTC for a long time with my 2nd, had all the usual pregnancy symptoms pretty much every unsuccessful cycle, but the very early symptoms I noticed when we finally conceived, which matched those I got with number 3, were extreme thirst and a weird winded type feeling but lower down.

Also, no PMT.

Later on, as in, when a test would come back positive, so not super early, but early enough, I had sore boobs with 1+3 and period type pains, often worryingly bad ones with all. Tiredness and nausea didn't kick in for me 'til 7 weeks.

Loss of appetite (turned into 9 months of sickness)
Slight implantation pains

Banging migraine, and felt like I was hungover. I fell pregnant on the week of my birthday, and despite it being literally the earliest possible moment of conception, I went totally off my usual love of wine. My best friend told me I was pregnant and she was right!

First time, going off my favourite foods and waking up feeling sick as a dog in the mornings.

Period pains as usual and waking up in the middle of the night feeling sick as a dog second time round.

All before period was even due. First time I was nauseous a full week before I was due my period

Sensitive to smell, darker nipples and felt off, like I was about to come down with a nasty cold. Had this with both pregnancies and it started even before I missed my period!

Really heightened sense of smell, and weird vivid dreams!

11.00am on the dot I felt sick- was never actually sick
Extreme tiredness
Went off a lot of foods
Really sore boobs

Metallic taste in mouth

Sore boobs, fizzy, tender nipples especially. It was all in the nipples for me. And grease. Greasy food. Salty, greasy food.

Headache and nausea. Didn't go away till about 14 weeks!

Yes! The metallic taste in the mouth! And the dreams... the sexual dreams. Holy smoke the dreams in pregnancy are insane from the get-go.
