What were your earliest pregnancy symptoms?

[peaky297]

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 😃

Don't remember any symptoms before BFP the first time, but second time I noticed my tea tasted funny, then felt a bit sick that evening. Thought pregnancy very unlikely (we were TTC but I have PCOS and needed Clomid to get pregnant first time) but I remembered how weird tea had tasted when pregnant with DS, so tested the following morning and it was positive!

Tingly and achy boobs, proper dragging cramps low down and all across hips, nausea, morning sickness, headaches and metal mouth. Tested at 9dpo and sure enough BFP.

I had a very vivid dream on new years day that I had taken a test and it was positive. I then woke up with sore and swollen boobs. I've never had sore boobs ever. I tested on the 5th and got a positive.

The day before AF was due (a Saturday) I went into town in the morning, then returned home and had a 4- or 5- hour nap. I put this down to the site work I was doing being harder under a new boss, but in retrospect it was probably pg-related.

I couldn't stop burping, from 3 1/2 weeks, to the point it was really concerning and upsetting me (as I obviously had no idea why it was happening), however dh found it very amusing! This turned into nausea at 5 1/2 weeks, which was constant 24 hours a day from 6 weeks. Vomiting from 8 weeks (but I was already on anti emetics by the time that started).

Lots of little burps all the time.

A twitching eye and a single moment of pure rage. Both times.

First pregnancy sore boobs.
Second pregnancy muscle stretching in my tummy.

I felt so sick, weak and dizzy. We had a NYE party at our house and I spent it in bed. I felt absolutely terrible although our lovely friends came to sit on my bed to try and make me feel better. I thought I'd got flu. I felt like shite for another three months but was still having periods so didn't think I could be pregnant. Neither did my GP.

DS was born in August the following year so I guess I was probably 4-6 weeks pregnant when it started.

First pregnancy was a surprise, I had really achey boobs and a random bit of pink spotting before my AF was due so I had an inkling - I was roughly 6 weeks when I eventually tested and got my BFP (now my lovely 19 month old baby girl!)

This current pregnancy I'm only 4+5 weeks and I'm mostly just tired a lot. We've only been TTC since November and I had such lack of symptoms that I honestly thought I was out for the month. But no, I got my BFP five days ago instead.

With my son: VERY tired a few days before period was due. As in, falling asleep at 7pm , sleeping for 12 hours straight then still exhausted the next day, tired. I was shattered throughout my pregnancy with him. Also screaming in my car at a woman who has stupidly pulled out. I mean, I was freaking and fuming! And super tingly nipples.

With current pregnancy, weird vivid dreams for days on end, and very painful trapped wind all around my stomach. TMI, sorry :)

Tender, veiny boobs and feeling very tired.

I was a proper moody cow.....my husband (DP at the time) stomped off from me in the middle of a shop because I was having a strop about Xmas lights!!

OP sounds like she’s doing market research....
Or I’m just really cynical with posts like these.

dead arm.....

no idea why

drunk that weekend and ate bad bad things. didnt have a clue.

A weird metallic taste in my mouth.

Really dry mouth so much that I couldnt speak clearly

Tits and tiredness

Tender boobs and bleeding gums for me.

Needed to wee more often

With 1 it was a super vivid dream, enough that I went a bought a test when I was down to my last 30$, and a test was 17.99 plus tax. I wasnt even due on yet.
I was super tired , and achey for about a week, did the test, and I was pregnant.
With 2 I fainted while walking home! I had a friend with me, and he told me it could be a pregnancy thing. I'd never heard of it! I pick up a test, and lo and behold...

4 days before my period was due, I was led in bed and had really sudden heartburn (unusual for me). the next day I had cold symptoms along with heartburn which lasted about 3 days. My MIL said 'hmm sounds like you're pregnant'. It was our first month of 'trying' so I was really shocked.
Tested the day of due period and it was positive. I'm now 33 weeks! ❤️

Second the PP - real vivid dreams and very deep sleeps, sourness in my jaw and burning tingling sensation in right boob very briefly. BFP 10 days after conception.

Itchy nipples. Like seriously itchy.

I was really thirsty and only wanted orange juice. So I drank a pint, and threw it straight back up. Then cried because I was more thirsty than before!
