What were your first signs of pregnancy?

[justhayley]

Hiya I'm hoping to be pregnant - testing on wednesday.
Until then I'm symptom spotting
Apart from Late AF, sore boobs, sickness and exhaustion did you have any other pregnancy signs?

My DS is 13 months and I didn't really have any signs with him till I was about 7 weeks.

Fatigue *

[Lostintranslatio]

In both pregnancies, before the missed period, it was breathlessness for me. Not even fathue, that kicked in later, it was getting out of breath doing my normal tasks and routines.

My breasts started to hurt a week after conception and I had a suspicion. And I got really bad stomach acid for two weeks. But I’m not sure the later symptom is related.

[FeeneeTTC]

Good luck op! For me it was a strong metallic taste in my mouth that started almost as soon as implantation happened and has been on and off ever since.

[cfarrugia]

sore boobs, really thirsty and spotting

[Katie786]

DC1 I had a weird rash that looked like an allergic reaction. My eyes swelled for some reason. Turned out I was 12 weeks pregnant

DC2 I had tons of hot flushes to the point I looked like I had tanned. I was getting ready for graduation and my foundation did not match my skin!

DC3 - Hypervermsis big give away

DC4 - Missed AF and I was 9 weeks but miscarried

DC5 - I was washing dishes and felt the urge to vomit. I was 3 months pregnant

DC 6 - Missed period and exhaustion

But with all my kids I just had a feeling and exhaustion
Some ended in miscarriages, I don't want to mention which because I don't want to worry you when reading

[Lilyhurrell07]

{worried it's all in my head} gotta wait 10 days to test but I really think I've conceived this time!(fingers crossed) I had a funny turn on Christmas Eve after having a cigarette I thought I was going to throw up, I havnt smoked since. That's 5days. I have gone off drink and I usually love a vodka or 10! Lost my appetite unless it's things I shouldn't really eat if pregnant like Brie pâté and runny fried eggs. Cramping, now I have the flu. Terribly moody and snappy, my boyfriend can't do anything right. And my patience is at an all time low! Praying for a bfp! Also have had lots of saliva and I'm bloated. Also I just feel weird like not myself! Havnt noticed a massive change in my boobs tho. Belly has been rumbling but not overly hungry. Anyone else??

hi everyone, im confused so need advice hopefully someone can help me. I have the implant fitted and have had it in for 3 years now its due to be taken out in 2 weeks, ive still been having unprotected sex as I assumed it would still be working but recently ive been getting a lot of symptoms. for the past 7 months all my periods have been regular but I haven't had one since a month ago I only realised how late I was the other day because I started noticing changes to my body.
around about three weeks ago I started getting a creamy white discharge, a lot of it and its everyday, I then started getting headaches, heartburn, slight nausea and heightened sense of smell. my breasts don't look any bigger but they feel a lot heavier. im constantly tired and waking up sweating even though I feel cold a lot of the time, my emotions are all over the place atm but I put that down to time off the month but ive still not came on my period.
last week I had horrible cramping pains in my lower stomach and have constant backache so starting to get worried could this mean im pregnant????

Hi Yes me! My 'period' came on day 19 of my very regular 28 cycle, much lighter than normal, I have had extremely sore boobs this week, my normal period would have been due tomorrow, have done a test every day but negative so far. Dont want to get my hopes up. I have a daughter, didn't know I was pregnant with her only tested a week after I was due just remember having pmt symptoms, my now husband said I was a bit of a bitch too haha :-) I know some people don't test positive until later in the pregnancy but I can't help thinking thats a minority, perhaps my cycle has just got out of sync, I guess only time will tell, Good luck Hattie xx

[Hattie86]

Hi guys
I'm new on here so don't know if I'm in the right bit!!

I had unprotected sex on 6th April, was sick on 7th! Came on what I thought was a period in 16th April, (normally lasts 7days heavy for 4) however this time I was very light an the blood was brown/black an was them off 18th so only 3days. After this I've been very bloated, been having cramps that feel like period cramps, been getting bad headaches, and feeling sick. Taken 2 hpt and they both came back negative. Unsure whether it is just in my head..

Would like if anyone can relate??

[Jabean]

Im still showing BFN, still have sore boobs and a bit of cramping, I am very regular usually get AF on a Thurs night so would say 5 days before at the moment , going to do a early first response tomorrow morning. I'm not holding my breath though think it might just be hormones and wishful thinking :-(

[beebop100]

Also tiredness, chin spots, period type pains going right into vagina

[beebop100]

Cried on the bus at a song on my iPod, cried in a cafe when telling husband about crying on the bus, sent hubby a furious text at 2am because he was snoring (he was right next to me!), constipation, SORE boobs, one stonking headache. I'm now 5 weeks.

[Mummytobeforthefirsttime]

I tested on the Monday before my AF was due on the Saturday as I had had chronic headaches and wanted to take strong painkillers, I got a really faint line on the Monday, 5 days before AF due. I just a had a feeling I was pregnant. The test lines got stronger everyday after that.

Good luck!

[Jabean]

so I have been trying a bit for a few months now(not particularly strict on dates etc) AF due next Thurs but this monday starting cramping then bleeding, a bit worried as only day 19 of cycle (usually quite regular) now think it maybe was implantation bleed but not sure, still spotting, am quite tired, went to bed last night at 9.30pm and also fell asleep on sofa this afternoon, have done a test each morning for last couple of days but BFN have stocked up and will keep testing each morning until I get a proper period or BFP. Boobs are quite sore also, also had quite a few spots last few weeks. This wait is torture! Just would like to know either way, had to cancel night out tonight just in case (although feel too knackered to be hitting the town!)

[Tranquilitybaby]

Hot flushes & extreme tiredness during the day.

[Frogcatcher]

Done a test & it was BFN. Phew! We may want another but I wasn't thinking just yet!

[Me23]

I didn't hav any signs until 8 weeks but I just knew I ass pregnant even before af was due.

[MissHobart]

Frog - keep us updated!

[Frogcatcher]

Oh dear. This is not making comfortable reading! I've been laid up in bed all day with what I thought was flu but a little thought popped into my head from nowhere that maybe I was pregnant & it's morning sickness as I have terrible stomach cramping too. DS is only 12 weeks old
I didn't really have it with him except occasionally feeling like I had a hangover late afternoon. I was charting so tested before I even got AF last time whereas this time I haven't even had a period yet. I've also got greasy hair which I got with DS. Boob symptoms difficult to spot as I'm BF so nipples tingle anyway when he wants a feed. Guess I'd better dig out those tests before I totally freak out OH!

[ImBrian]

Forgot to say I always cramp like af is coming and get sore boobs but not tht bad.

[ImBrian]

Dc1 - nothing at all just realised my period was Mia, dc2 and 3 I tested really early and can't remember any symptoms, dc 4 I kept falling asleep and was exhausted. This baby I had implantation pain/headache,dry mouth and then my cervix went back high! I've also had 2 miscarriages, the first I realised I was pregnant as I felt sick and the 2nd I had a dry mouth and high cervix.

[eepie]

Main/only symptom before missed period was that my boobs were sore and hot to the touch - whereas apparently normally (when not pregnant) breasts are always slightly cool. Positive pregnancy test the next day after I noticed this !

[Rosebud29]

Sore boobles was the first thing. Extreme fatigue set in at about 6-7 weeks. The fatigue was harder to deal with than the nausea. Heightened sense of smell in the very early weeks. I'm prone to bloaty tummy anyway but it got much worse very early in pregnancy, I was in maternity jeans at 10wks and struggled to hide my tummy.
