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.

[Mammylj]

Found out I was pregers yesterday. I'm thinking I'm around 5 weeks. Excited

Had tender nipples about 2-3 weeks ago.
Heartburn for the past week, woke up last few mornings feeling mildly sick which has now developed to actual vom. Bad cramps, gas, feeling/ looking flushed, heightened smell, and felling repulsed by certain foods.

I haven't need to wee more than usual, not really that tired and my boobs fine now too.

Smell, i had the nose of a bassett hound. Could smell people smoking from a mile off, and i could smell the toilets at my desk at work.
I also had a couple of dizzy spells.
I knew a week or so after conception that i was pregnant. Just had to wait for AF day so I could test. When i woke up and i wasnt on i didnt feel the need to test (though i did) because i am like clockwork.

[MERaws]

Wondered if anyone could help. WE've been trying for 4 months now. AF due Christmas day.. had a few symptoms and not sure if they mean anything.... don't want to get excited. Bad cramping (especially on my right side), was cooking pate the other night and the smell made me gag (literally had to get the husband to take over I couldnt cope with it), had a ulcer in my mouth, got a bad cold/virus (feeling quite shit to be honest), off coffee (drinking hot water with lemon and can't get enough of it), little to no CM, mood swings like when AF is here, hot episodes (but think this is due to the virus/cold). Think there are more, but that's just a few. I did a test this morning and it was negative. Not due until the 25th... what do you all think?!

Hi MERaws, you could try one of the ClearBlue tests that give you an indication of how many weeks along you are. I found out I am pregnant on Friday past and the indicator stated 2-3 weeks pregnant. I'm only due my period now.

Mmmm.....symptoms, sore breasts (its a different kind of tenderness, more like a bruising to me), fatigue, swollen abodmen and believe it or not cramps like my period was coming - still have those but apparently its normal and yes.....mood swings, cried all morning yesterday.

Glad I found this site as I've felt so freaked out since I found out. I think visiting this site will end up a daily ritual :)

[MERaws]

Hey NSEPWM0814 - congratulations!!!
I used a bog standard test thing morning, might try a ClearBlue - but also don't want to try too early because getting a bfn is just veyr depressing!! Would be the most amazing Christmas present if I found out I was pregnant. I've got everything crossed. That's the problem too, because I want it so bad you don't know if you start imagining the symptoms!! Fingers crosed. Congratulations agin!

[MissIshbel]

With both this almost full term pregnancy and an earlier ectopic pregnancy I experienced really easy bruising as a symptom. This would have started at about three weeks both times and before any other symptoms. Maybe a sign of anemia? Anyway something I will always keep an eye on from now on!

[NSEPWM0814]

Let me know how you get on MERaws, I'll keep everything crossed for you :)

[Onkennn]

My first (unsuccessful) apparently quite normal but I had a very very hairy stomach, chronic heartburn and I could not stop weeing! Such a glamourus job being pregnant! Hopefully we conieve again soon and get to the end!!

[Groovester]

I am now about 8 days late but getting BFNs. Very sore lower back, daily squits (TMI, sorry!), crying at EVERYTHING (today it was the film "Free Willy" - inconsolable that the whale missed and was separated from his family! Yesterday it was a twee, hallmarky FB post about enjoying the little things in life and the song "More than Words" by Extreme coming on the radio), vivid dreams, bad tummy cramping (which I don't usually get), nips that go erect if I so much as think about them (whoops - there we go - bullets!) and DH is complaining that I now snore like a warthog. I had brown spotting on morning AF was due and when I wiped that night it was bright red but that was it. I didn't have to use as much as a panty liner. I have a very regular 28 day cycle and the pattern my period takes when it's here for its 5 days is always the same so this is very out of the ordinary for me.
I have a DS (aged 4) and with him, I noticed that my boobs very ENORMOUS one night when lying in the bath.

I handed a sample into GP for testing yesterday and will get result on Monday. Really confused as I feel pregnant, have all these symptoms (physical ones as well as " am I really feeling that" ones) but have had 2 BFNs now.

Newbie on here so sorry if I've posted on the wrong thread. Would appreciate your thoughts?!

[perfectstorm]

Sore throat. Very sensitive nipples. Temper/over-sensitivity!

[squizita]

Spotting 4 days before AF was due ... Then no actual AF. May have been emosh but mistaken it for pmt.

[danika89]

[danika89]

hi :)

could i be pregnant even though i have had my period? x

[MaybeProbably]

5+3 first pregnancy. First sign was sobbing at an action movie 5 days before AF due. Sore boobs at the usual time of the month but worse than normal and sensitive nipples (which isn't normal for me pre-AF). First couple of cheapy tests were negative but first response day before AF due was bfp.

[ImBrian]

Dc1 I had no symptoms apart from usual pre period ones. Was so sure I was going to come on that I didnt test till 6 weeks. DC2 I was trying so poas stupidly early before I had any symptoms. With my mc I was late but only realised when I couldnt manage my sunday dinner!Dc3 I had an implantation bleed and usual af symptoms. Dc4 wasnt planned so when I started fallingasleep after work I realised I was 2 weeks late and tested!

[Anendze]

Period was late by 2 days, I spotted for a day. My boobs were sore before I spotted and there still sore, and getting worse. Plus now my nipples are hurting. I took 2 pregnancy tests and both say not pregnant. Could I be pregnant and it be too early to tell????

[Aoifebelle]

I suspected I was up the duff a good week before even the early tests picked it up and knew for deffo two days before a positive test. First symptom for me always increased thirst and weeing. Then the sore boobs, similar to what happens with my monthlies, but nipples also really sore. Then the sudden and all consuming hunger. Can happen even within a hour of eating. If I don't eat I can get dizzy. Wierdest of all is the inside out burps, like a single really long hiccup. I guess it is the diaghram doing something weird. I find it sooo amazing that within a week of the egg being fertilised I can detect changes in my body. That said there seem to be women who have very few symptoms and feel nothing until junior is kicking them in the bladder. Being a woman rocks.

[moonbear27]

Been feeling nauseous, dizzy, mild headaches, horrible metallic taste. AF not due till 7th March. Can't bear not knowing!

[Dazedconfused]

I had had really strange spotting etc early Jan and thought it was weird AF but anoint a week after stopped I went to work and realised I had completely forgotten to put a bra on while getting dressed (not the kind of body shape that can get away with that) laughed a lot about this after!!!! and then I was sick after lunch...did a test the following morning and it was bfp and using dating one worked out was about 6 weeks gone.

[Iona1651]

I had sore gums and my urine smelt very strong. Just did a test in case I was - expecting a BPN - but surprise BFP!
That very morning I'd been sat in a surgeon's office to get the results of my laparoscopy and told to get a referral to a fertility clinic asap because of my age! Was a weird day telling my fiancé the news from the surgeon in the morning then our good news that evening!

[CestelloAnnunciation]

Went off booze and fags with DC1 . had done several pregnancy tests, as period was slightly late, but all came back negative. Went to the pub with DH and ordered a G&T and went to light up a ciggie (shows how long ago it was) and instantly dry wretched and the smell of booze and cigs. Got another test from the late night chemist and hey presto...up duffed I was.

With DC2, I had to stop the car on the way home one day to be violently sick. Alarm bells rang, did a test...pregnant with DC2

[Longlive2014]

crying, tired, sore tingly numb boobs... on day af due I had morning sickness

[Candycrush75]
