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 😃

Felt quite tired constantly and also craved milk which was strange. This started at about 9DPO.

My wee smelt different! Weird I know haha.

Complete exhaustion... at about 4 weeks I had something on at work for the week that would be typically pretty draining, but this was other level tiredness and I was on the sofa recovering for three days afterwards. Shortly after I began to get a small amount of blood in the tissue every time I blew my nose and a metallic taste in my mouth, and then achey boobs. Very irregular periods so it was these symptoms which made me realise something was up and take the test! Gorgeous baby boy is 6 weeks old now 😊

I didn't know it at the time, but insomnia. I could not sleep past 2am, and was so exhausted because of it.

Everything else didn't kick in until weeks 6/7 and now I am suffering!! I was worried when I wasn't experiencing symptoms and now I wish I could go back to it!

In my first pregnancy it was cramps. They started about 11-12 dpo. I thought they were just normal pre-menstral cramps at the time, although with hindsight they weren't quite the same as period cramps, more weird pulling, less painful / achey. I didn't test until 16 dpo though as was sure they meant period was on the way!

Second pregnancy it was probably needing to pee constantly from before I took a test, and I did have cramps on the day I tested and got the BFP.

Sore boobs, throwing up bile on a morning, period cramps and achy hips!

Can anyone help or share experiences? Im 36, partner is 48 and we have been ttc since dec 19. Up until last month, cycles were every 26 days, and normal for me was light flow and lasting 3 days. Always experienced cramps and back and leg ache. Last month, period didnt start until day 29, but symptoms were chronic for a few days beforehand. This month, had period symptoms all week, actually thought i was going to be early. Its now day 29, cramps have been swapped for dull ache / pulling very low down but back still very achey. I had a breast reduction in 2005 and cant feel any soreness in breasts but tjey dont look any different. No otjer oregnancy symptoms. My worry is whether this is menopause? My mum and nan had completely stopped periods by 40. I should also add that I was on the pill continously for 20 years due to acne so up until December last year ehen i stopped, had no idea what a normal cycle was for me without synthetic hormones. Sorry for long post! x

Suddenly really tired. I found I could drink loads of coffee even late at night and sleep soundly (oopsie, although a chat with the doctor on assured panicking me that I wasn't going to kill the fetus with a few cups of coffee. Apparently there's far worse things I could have been doing ).
I would suddenly get really dizzy when standing up, as in the room spinning and my vision going dark.
