My wee smelt different. I got very hot flushes. Tingly boobs. Tired. So very, very tired.
But the wee thing was the first, I knew I was pregnant then!

Period cramps but no period. Boobs looked odd/different. Metallic taste. Nose bleeds. I was already 6/7 weeks pregnant before I cottoned on.

purplesmiler · 13/06/2018 07:07

Heartburn and metal taste then within a few days my boobs went sore.

musicinthe00ssucks · 13/06/2018 07:16

Both times a really really bunged up nose - like hay fever. The snottiness carried on all the way through both pregnancies. I also pooed a lot more at the beginning of both

Another one who had weird excessive salivation. I knew I was pregnant the second time before I missed a period

letstryagainaaahhhh · 13/06/2018 07:56

Heartburn

problembottom · 13/06/2018 08:29

My boobs were absolute agony. Never experienced anything like it, knew I must be pregnant.

Thatsnotmypresident · 13/06/2018 08:31

Dizziness and increased sense of smell

Athers666 · 13/06/2018 08:49

Really nothing at all. I'm 13 weeks now and still not much! However, one night I got out of bed at midnight and went to the fridge because I just had to eat some cheese! The next day I did a test and it was positive, as I knew the cheese thing was just not normal for me!

Ravenous hunger and a peculiar aversion to alcohol.

BethanyCourt · 13/06/2018 09:23

most of mine were similar to AF symptoms (Sore boobs/emotional/skin broke out) The one thing that stood out for me was when i was cooking chicken in a wok. I thought it smelt amazing and i really wanted to eat it- despite it being still somewhat raw.

Oh, and i also joked to my DH how i must be shrinking my clothes in the wash as several items of clothing seemed tighter!

Mousefunky · 13/06/2018 10:12

Ridiculously hungry to the extent I demanded a large pizza in Paris and ate it all Grin. Very stroppy over silly things, more tired than usual and spotty skin.

jeanzbeanz · 13/06/2018 11:31

Sore/huge boobs and feeling absolutely exhausted. And incredibly greasy hair!

Fedupxmum · 13/06/2018 12:29

Mine is always acid in my throat, it gets so bad out of nowhere and I instantly 'know' I'm pregnant and do a test ha it's so weird. I love lighting candles, I light one every day and every time I've been pregnant (before I've confirmed) it has given me acid. Thats my sign Confused then the sickness comes.

crazycatbaby · 13/06/2018 12:36

Drinking but not getting drunk (I was out for a friend's birthday) and stomach cramps and a bad tummy. And period pains but not period. I put the bad tummy down to period being due, but it obviously wasn't Grin

PrimeraVez · 13/06/2018 12:39

TMI coming up but I get a big glob of yellow cervical mucus before a positive test. Normally I dry up completely after ovulation.

MrsJayy · 13/06/2018 12:43

I thought I had the flu I felt horrible and milk turned my stomach but I thought it to do with the flu

Fuckedoffat48b · 13/06/2018 18:07

PrimeraVez I also had the weird blob of bright yellow CM in the week or so my period was due.

I suspected I was pregnant due to boobs that were incredibly sore, i.e. making me suck my teeth just going around the supermarket and a triphasic temperature chart.

Interestingly no PMS. It made me realise how badly I normally have it.

Havetothink · 13/06/2018 18:09

Insane sense of smell, had a hot chocolate in a cafe and could smell the lemon cleaner they'd used on the cup, only reason I took a test.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 13/06/2018 18:11

Sore massively bigger boobs, nausea, metallic taste in my mouth.

calilark · 13/06/2018 18:14

Boobs. I remember thinking Christ if I don't come on soon, I think my boobs might literally explode. I cried when I took my bra off each night, but I just thought mega period boobs. Also felt like I was coming down with something fluey - so achy and tired

Mummyoftwo91 · 13/06/2018 18:15

Uncontrollable eating!

noimaginationatall · 13/06/2018 18:16

Bad dreams!

rockandhard · 13/06/2018 18:24

A coldsore both times!
Also felt the implantation both times so knew I was the second time instantly.
