vivid dreams about being pregnant with triplets

With that many symptoms, I think it is almost certain you are pregnant with triplets! Obviously you've had the cold or something, which explains the sinus-related stuff, but the rest of it is very very early to be pregnancy related. So I hope you are wanting multiples 😬

Hey OP thanks for sharing, I like hearing about other people's journeys. I wish I had written my pre pregnancy symptoms down with my first, as I'm TTC with my second now! Good luck with your pregnancy :)
