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

I thought I could smell garlic all the time. Even thinking about that now makes me want to retch.

I had the smells problem too - smelled cigarette smoke everywhere. It was hideous and lasted the whole first trimester!

Couldn't stop burping from about a week before period was due. This turned in to hyperemesis and nausea for the entire pregnancy.

Going off tea and a big reaction to a bikini line wax that I'd had many times before - whole area went purple and must've been due to changes going on.

Increased sense of smell

I’m 35 weeks with my second, this time I went off my morning cup of tea - it tasted fruity, the only way I can describe it!

Very very sleepy a lot of the time and snapping at everyone over everything. I'm 8 weeks now and have a problem with how hard my DP slams my car door!! It makes me very emotionalGrin

Getting out of breath really quickly. I knew I was pregnant with DD because of that.

SchnitzelVonCrum · 21/03/2019 22:07

Pre-testing just sore/tender sometimes tingly boobs

sandytree · 21/03/2019 22:11

Heart palpitations and headaches and tummy ache

LadyOfTheFlowers · 21/03/2019 22:12

Sore boobs and severe exhaustion, every time.

Well, I had hyperemesis gravidarum so was hospitalised with severe dehydration at 5 weeks, so nausea and vomiting were my only clues before that point. Didn’t get sore boobs or round ligament pain until later.

However, in the year+ I was TTC I managed to convince myself every month that I had early pregnancy symptoms - sore boobs, funny tastes, ‘just knowing’ etc etc. I was wrong every time, and when I was pregnant the only clue (before the exorcist style vomiting arrived) was a late period.

Moneys2Tight2Mention · 22/03/2019 08:57

Again the metallic taste, really sore boobs and also I was horny as hell!

ZippyBungleandGeorge · 22/03/2019 09:06

Flu like symptoms followed by light headed feeling, to the extent I thought I'd just had a virus and didn't do a pregnancy test until I was ten weeks pregnant... (Irregular cycles)

StarkintheSouth · 22/03/2019 09:07

Hives on my legs - very itchy and uncomfortable. Then strong nausea, headaches and thirst. I did a test the day before my period was due and it was faint. Did another test the day after my period due date and was positive. I soon experienced next level exhaustion and breathlessness on occasion. All very odd but worth it in the end...!

MsHopey · 22/03/2019 09:07

Hot flushes.
I was sweating all down my face in winter and couldn't even go into a shop because their heating was killing me!

JenMumma · 23/03/2019 04:28

Waking up in excess dribble (sexy), sore breasts, itchy nipples, carb cravings, bloated by 4pm and spots on chin (not all on same day, I'm not a COMPLETE goddess) xx

dimdarkashian · 23/03/2019 04:37

Sore wisdom teeth!

Mimi2022 · 15/08/2022 10:10

Did the period pains stop? When did they stop?
