To ask for your early pregnancy symptoms

[stillawakeat4amagain]

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

My boobs swelled up so quickly and so dramatically that my shirt couldn’t be unbuttoned. I had to have DH cut it off me with scissors. That was about a week before my period was due and I tested.

I had a sore throat and cold in the very early days with a weird cramping sensation.

Then from week 5 onwards I felt super hungover, like really dizzy and then morning sickness hit me like a train from week 6 onwards.

I started getting nausea what must have been almost immediately after conception! I think that was the only symptom before I did a test and found out. Although I did also suddenly get broody, which had never happened in my life.

I could not stand the smell of raw meat - I nearly passed out in the butchers one day, I felt like I could taste the raw meat it was weird. Plus I was exhausted, went to the loo at work, put the lid down and rested my head on the wall for 10 mins.

Ty all for your replies

Went off my favourite red wine

Both times I got sore gums and really sensitive teeth. Only for the first couple of weeks. Rampant ice muncher by the end.

Couldn’t finish a meal- felt too full up which never ever happens! Also was so tired I got in to bed straight away when I got home from work for a nap

Nails grew super quick

I found out that I’m pregnant a week last Monday, and the first symptoms started on Saturday but I dismissed them.
The very first one was a feeling of being too full after an average sized meal, followed by flashing lights in front of my eyes when I bent over. I work at an opticians so had them check, and after having a look they said all was fine, but to get my BP checked, I was a bit suspicious though, as the same thing happened when I was pregnant with DC.
On Sunday and Monday I felt weirdly sick, and I couldn’t stand the smell of cooking onions, to the point I was gagging and couldn’t eat my dinner.
A week and a bit on my boobs are very sore and growing and I’m very bloated, a lot more than with my first.
The sickness has mostly gone, though it comes back when I’m hungry, I didn’t get sickness with DC until 7-8 weeks.

Tiredness like I’ve never had. Asleep before 6pm and struggling to get up at 7:30am the following morning

Dizziness and a huge appetite.

Absolute bone tiredness. I could fall asleep anywhere and was usually dozing on the sofa by 7pm every night in the first 12 weeks. Had a general deal of nausea and no appetite but not much actual sickness.

These are great ty
Congrats tiptoe

The week before my period I kept randomly fancying a cider, like at 11am. I didn't have one as it goes but might of had a wine but not at 11am.

I did also feel exhausted, and had lots of cramps. I assumed I was about to get the worse period ever. I even bought extra sanitary supplies early as I thought it was coming.

The morning before my period was due I sat down to eat my usual breakfast and felt a bit sick in my mouth. I just didn't fancy it. I still didn't twig.

My second I can't say I felt much. I was very surprised and maybe that's why that pregnancy didn't stick. I just didn't have any symptoms even once I got my BFP.

Really heightened sense of smell (drains and alcohol particularly).

Very sore throat with no related (i.e. coldy-type) symptoms. I had had oral thrush a couple of years previously and was terrified it was a recurrence of that. And complete loss of appetite. DS is 4 months now

More tired than I had ever felt. Like utter, bone-deep exhaustion.
I puked at the smell of tea with both pregnancies.

Tired, thirsty and nauseous. My boobs also felt like I was getting my period, but it never came...

Tired tired tired tired and more tired

Weird feeling low down... like a brick was weighing me down.

I passed out when I went to the toilet in the night.
Did a pg test and BFN.
4 days later I got my BFP!

Heartburn. So. Much. Fucking. Heartburn.

I was freezing cold, couldn’t get warm despite 2 hot water bottles, duvet, wool layers etc. Had it with both my pregnancies! Plus the usual tiredness, burping and I just knew

For my first pregnancy, I just felt tired and was constantly sleeping, nothing else. For this one which is relatively still new, I just felt so irritable. Especially towards my fiancé who couldn't do anything right. Also had some light cramping that made me think it was a warning sign my period was going to start and tiredness again.
