Hello ladies!
I am looking to find out what symptoms / experiences other women have had in the earliest stages of pregnancy.
I look forward to hearing your stories 😃

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My nipples felt like I had taken a cheese grater to them after a day of wearing my bra. I’m not looking forward to that if I have another child 😂

Late period and positive test.

Just about every month for the years we were trying I convinced myself I had early symptoms, but in the end symptoms didn't kick in until nausea and bloating in week 5.

Really sore boobs!

GemmaJen · 10/01/2019 16:52

Af style cramps and bloating which comes and goes. No sore boobs yet or proper nausea. 4w ATM

CritterTamer · 10/01/2019 16:53

Kind of a throbby, achey pain around my right hip, together with a strong feeling that AF was coming.

TMI but I had a really upset stomach for the week or so before I got a BFP. That was my only symptom really. Now 8 weeks with some nausea and a lot of insomnia but nothing else really.

Things smelled and tasted different

Tobebythesea · 10/01/2019 17:21

With my first child I started feeling utterly exhausted around 3 days before missed period.

I’m pregnant with my second and about 3 days before I was due my boobs/nipples were really sore.

Reastie · 10/01/2019 17:33

Suddenly feeling like I was just about to be sick just under a week before af due. Then starting to have adversions to food and smells a day or two later. Same last time too. They started early for me!

Bigonesmallone3 · 10/01/2019 17:39

Nothing tasted right and metallic taste in mouth

Angelik · 10/01/2019 17:43

Went off tea and craved ice cold milk. That's how my dh knew i was expecting our second.

DoveGreylove · 10/01/2019 17:43

Stomach cramps, bloating and metal taste in my mouth :)

Shazafied · 10/01/2019 17:47

Craving large quantities of fruit juice.

This happened before sore nipples , BFP etc xx

tillytoodles1 · 10/01/2019 17:50

Itchy nipples.

Lemondrizzzzle · 10/01/2019 17:53

A pain in my armpit then nausea. Both before my period was late.

frazzledasarock · 10/01/2019 17:55

Creamy white discharge and excessive saliva. Was really odd and I hated the excess saliva thing. Also had the tinny metallic taste in my mouth.

sunshineandshowers21 · 10/01/2019 17:57

a metallic taste in my mouth and certain smells causing me to feel nauseous.

ForTheLoveOfDoughnuts · 10/01/2019 18:04

My nipples hurt like hell. Didn't even want water in the shower touching them

Anondonkey · 10/01/2019 18:22

Period like pain with a pulling sensation and super sore boobs!

outforawalkbitch2018 · 10/01/2019 19:20

I had the most vivid, bizarre dreams with all 3 pregnancies, before I felt any physical symptoms

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/01/2019 19:21

I really fancied hula hoops.

CookieWaffle · 10/01/2019 19:25

Nausea and cramps 3 days after ovulating. After a week of it i kinda knew...

hipstercat · 10/01/2019 19:39

My boobs were always really painful from a few days after ovulation until my period. On the cycle I turned out to be pregnant they didn't hurt at all! Although they have caught up from about week 6. Grin Interestingly the cycle before that when I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, they did hurt. After getting my positive test 12 days after ovulation, the first week or two I had some mild period-like cramps.

elf1985 · 10/01/2019 19:52

Bleeding gums. With both

goose1964 · 10/01/2019 19:56

No very early symptoms in any of mine, but I went off coffee at about 6 weeks
