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.

[BoffinMum]

Swollen boobs and sore nips.

Ds, who's 3 came running up to me and said "mummy you have a baby in your tummy" that was a few days after I would have conceoved.
4 days before my period was due I was ravenous and polished off more food than normal for me and had period pain but only a tiny spot of blood and so tested the next day and go a faint positive. I tested every day for the next few days and they gradually got darker.

I have no idea how I did that!

with dd3 I felt the familiar nausea whilst innocently waiting for my sister outside a Thorntons coffee shop - the smell - boak!! I wasn't overly late, normally 30 - 35 day cycle, was on day 34, wasn't trying and yet I knew!! The test were on special offer and on a whim i bought one and bfp!!

I had absolutely no symptons. Even went to a theme park because i was totally unaware. Then on the day of my missed period woke up in agony! Never had any period pains before, and i couldn't even move with the type of pain. OH suggested the test and it was positive. Now 12 weeks and seen our very active baby on the first scan yesterday. Good luck, fingers crossed for you :)

[HumptyDumptyBumpty]

Forgetting words, being v clumsy, just in a world of my own (also fell down some steps, totally unlike me). Then aversion to alcohol/strong flavours and a massive dairy craving (which I still have!)

[Whistleforit]

So have totally screwed up and discovered am 6 weeks unplanned just starting new job. We always wanted three but... Anyway first I change i noticed was that my weight dropped every day for a week after conception despite not changing diet. Good luck with the test :)

With my 2nd pregnancy - it was night sweats. Woke up drenched a few times in a row. Had a horrible scary time thinking about what else that could mean and then I developed the ridiculous, bloodhound sense of smell and I was, like, oh, right... Took a test and there he was. He's nearly 2 now and completely adorable :) when he's not throwing tantrums because I gave him the wrong yoghurt

[Namechanger012345]

The main one for me was feeling exhausted. I wanted to sleep all the time and I could barely keep my eyes open. I also had the strong sense of smell and some nausea, completely went off coffee and couldn't stomach the thought of alcohol but didn't know why.

[LesserOfTwoWeevils]

Couldn't bear to eat yogurt or drink coffee.

[LottyLikesWindows]

I woke up with a bleeding nose on the day my period was due. Also had ridiculously vivid dreams which felt frighteningly real. Oh and I couldn't keep my eyes open no matter how much I slept.
Good luck OP!

[urtwistingmymelonman]

very vivid blue veins in boobies.
heightened sense of smell.
and sobbing all the way to work one day as I felt guilty for telling my son off!

[DaniZ]

I was just hoping I was pregnant so I've been seeing signs everywhere- if you named it, I had it :)

[moominlike]

Thrush (haven't had that since I was a teenager and my school uniform included awful woolly tights!), sore throat which didn't come to anything, tender boobs (didn't normally get that even before AF), period type cramps and bloating.

Took a test just to check before a night out where the drinks would be flowing and got a faint positive. Was really surprised! I think I would've known anyway a few days later when I nearly fainted at work

Good luck for today OP!

[SignoraStronza]

What I thought was raging, angry pmt - right down to the cramps (which obviously came to nothing). Combined with horrendous tiredness (dropping to sleep the moment my bum hit the sofa) and second time round I just knew well before testing.

[rosiedays]

Took me weeks of being dog tired, emotional wreck, went square shape (totally lost all signs of a waist) travel sick every day on 1.5 hour drive to work. Eating toast (i hate toast) and generally feeling awful. Made gp appointment to discuss symptoms. Day before thought Mmm he'll ask if i could be pg so took test to rule it out. Very surprise BFP.
Good luck op

[IsItMyArseOrMyElbow]

OP!!!!! It's Wednesday! Have you POAS yet?

I am doing the 'sign spotting' thing myself at the moment, AF not due until at least next Wednesday. Had a little bit of spotting on Monday night (possible implantion bleed?), got cramps higher up than usual period pains, achey boobies on release of bra at night, mad urges to clean things (did oven last night), filled up at the sight of a group of parents waving their LOs off on a school trip this morning etc.

[Heather1977]

Absolutely nothing - and the 3 months beforehand that we were trying, LOADS of imaginary symptoms!!

[TeuchterWahine]

AF cramps but no AF and daily morning squits. Delightful, got some of the lesser known symptoms.

[lucidlady]

Veiny boobs, bloodhound sense of smell.

[blondebaby111]

Have you tested yet op??

[MrsO27]

Tiredness and AF like cramps around time it was due. Also had light implantation bleed around 1 week before AF was due. Other symptoms (sore boobs, nausea etc.) came a bit later for me but everyone is different!
