What was your first pregnancy symptom and at what DPO? I'm 4 DPO and know it's too early yet but doesn't stop me from symptom spotting! Grin

First baby: tingly nipples, tiredness like I've never know even to this day with sleepless nights, and feeling ragey at random people

Second baby: I had the most dreadful trapped wind, to the point I was doubled over in work throughout the day with it. Google said it was hormone-related. I also went off tea.

Nosebleeds

DC1: a dose of thrush Blush
DC2: suddenly finding pushing the buggy up the moderate hill to our house incredibly hard work.

The weird watery mouth thing.

GoodnightJude1 · 20/01/2020 19:19

All 5 pregnancies I’ve felt overwhelmingly tired then I get very sore/sensitive nipples and lower back ache.

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:20

@namechanger02 when's your AF due? Will you be waiting until til then to test? I'm going to TRY and wait until mine

Esspee · 20/01/2020 19:20

Metallic taste in my mouth even before I missed my period. Had this with both pregnancies (thought it was dental filling related first time).

Twillow · 20/01/2020 19:24

Nausea first pregnancy, tingling nipples second.

namechanger02 · 20/01/2020 19:24

@charlottees89 I'm due next Thursday (although one app says Saturday) and as much as I want to I won't be able to wait till then! I'm planning to test next Monday with an FRER. When are you due af?

Aw best of luck OP! Mine was nausea & dizziness & just generally feeling "off". Took a test that night and bingo! Positive!

bettertimesarecomingnow · 20/01/2020 19:29

Sore nipples while washing in the shower. Tested that day and positive

Same for both pgs

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:36

@bluemoon2468 it's so weird. I just don't want to jinx it if that makes sense so trying to ignore it. When's your AF due?

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:38

@namechanger02 similar, between 29th - 31st depending on which app I go by. Seems ages away 🤯

MrsGolightyly · 20/01/2020 19:41

Sore breasts.

kkr168 · 20/01/2020 19:42

1st pregnancy 17 years ago, no symptoms at all other then no periods.
Recent pregnancy, I could not brush my teeth in the morning without being sick, had to make do with a quick brush then around midday I was able to brush properly, sadly ended in mc at 6 weeks.

namechanger02 · 20/01/2020 19:43

@charlottees89 it does doesn't it! You'll have to keep me updated and let me know if you get any other symptoms as the days go on

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:45

@namechanger02 definitely, you too

PPopsicle · 20/01/2020 19:48

Tiredness. Nearly fell asleep whilst out for dinner. Looking back I was around 2-3 weeks pregnant.

The first symptoms that made me test were sore boobs

doodlejump1980 · 20/01/2020 19:49

Exhaustion and really sore achy arms.

DontFretJuliette · 20/01/2020 19:51

I was extremely tired and cried over a cat rescue add, I knew something was wrong as I'm not usually that emotional.

DobbyLovesSocks · 20/01/2020 19:57

Sore boobs and then once I was about 4 weeks - overwhelming tiredness. I would have to have an hour nap when I got in from work and then have a good nights sleep on top or I could not function. Luckily that petered out after the first trimester

Babyfg · 20/01/2020 19:58

All three pregnancies food tasted funny. I had to keep checking the sell by dates. After my first pregnancy I knew to test as soon as things tasted funny. Everything else felt like my period was coming (but obvs never did!)

DobbyLovesSocks · 20/01/2020 19:59

Oh and my very unaffectionate cat decided to start sitting next to me on the sofa (sometimes even laying her paw on my leg). And her sister - my very affectionate cat - wouldn't come near me until I was well into pregnancy

susandelgado · 20/01/2020 19:59

Sore veiny boobs!

Mandarinfish · 20/01/2020 20:03

A kind of dragging sensation in my abdomen.
