What were your very early pregnancy symptoms?

Title says it all really.

How did you feel in the first few weeks of your pregnancy, before you tested positive?

The usual PMS symptoms, but with a strange swollen feeling in my tummy that made me suspect I was pregnant. This was probably due to having a laparotomy to remove an ectopic three months previously - but it's a good early warning system!

nothing til 4 weeks (i.e. 2 weeks after conception) then feeling v v hungry, then very sleepy, then nauseous a couple of weeks later. Hunger was the earliest symptom for me.

Ridiculously sensitive nipples. With DS (my first) I knew I was pregnant almost from the moment of conception because my nipples were so tender!

cupcakes · 09/08/2006 11:24

having to get up in the night to pee.

MiloMummy · 09/08/2006 11:42

OK so I am really weird but my first symptom (at 3wks 4 days and before I got a + was leaky nipples! It was obviously a sign as my milk production was fantastic (and still is after 15 months BFing). Then at around 4 weeks I started to get that hungry/sicky feeling. Oh and I was super emotional too. I remember absolutley howling at the smallest thing - not just a little cry but full on whole body sobbing!

TutterOtsky · 09/08/2006 11:42

hunger in the middle of the night (at 3w 4d)

Nicki10 · 09/08/2006 11:53

My first symptom was really embarrassing I couldn't stop burping . It was all the time for about two days and then it just went. This happened just after I ov'd and was 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. The next symptom was weeing all the time.

Was there a particular reason for the question...? [nosey emoticon]

Iklboo · 09/08/2006 12:23

Sore boobs, tiredness, light-headed and a bit more forgetful & clumsy than normal.
Funny though - I just "knew". I was only 12 days late with AF when I did the test.

Metallic taste in mouth and racing heart. I knew I was pregnant before I did the test.

Orlando · 09/08/2006 12:36

Ahhh... hope she gets the answer she wants

Babymad4num3 · 09/08/2006 12:40

Has anyone ever gone off food? I've not really eaten much for 3 days and I normally love my food. I will be doing pgtest on Monday, I was just wondering if anyone else ever felt this way, as an early sign of pg!

notasheep · 09/08/2006 21:57

I could smell dog poo...looked around for it and it was ACROSS THE ROAD! Either I was turning into a super hero or I was pregnant!! That and a really bad case of the strops which meant I went out on my bike for a damn hard cycle to get it out of my system ....thank god the little one was a toughie!
