The absolute first thing you noticed

[jammyone]

Just wondered what everyone's very first early days symptoms were? The reason you considered taking a test?

Worst migraines ever.

Nausea each time. Desperate craving for salt.

When I was pg for the third time but had not yet tested - certainly before my missed period - DP and I went on a trip. We stopped at a service station at about 10am I demanded salt and vinegar crisps. DP immediately said 'you're pregnant'.

Very obvious veins in my boobs was my first sign

Metallic taste in mouth days before positive test, and weeing all the time

Suddenly needing a wee really badly and not being able to hold on. Very odd. And the second time just a few days after conceiving and I knew from that but also a takeaway coffee and muffin tasted really weird.

The smell of my new sofa made me feel unwell and I literally didn't want anything to eat (which started a very expensive couple of weeks of going to the shops every meal time to buy what I fancied). And feeling utterly exhausted.

Missed period, no pre menstrual symptoms

On my 5th pregnancy. I knew before my period was due as I recognised the metallic taste and increased sense of smell. Swiftly followed by nausea, intense fatigue yet insomnia.

Really tired and drained. The first 12 weeks were the hardest.

Had a Thai curry and couldn't eat it because it was unbearably sweet.

Cramps. Completely by chance I was watching a video where someone described that was their first pregnancy symptom while I was having the cramps. I wouldn't have made the connection otherwise.

First pregnancy was tiredness and the excessively sore boobs literally could barely touch them to wash but second was just tiredness but I also had a 'feeling' my son hadn't been sleeping well which is why I thought I was tired.

Late period and very mild cramps

Wide awake at 4am and watching films all before work, for about a week. Each time

I’m confident I got nausea almost as soon as I conceived, I was peeing a lot and I could feel a pinching in my tummy.

Unbelievable fatigue.

Absolute exhaustion

My period was a day late. Zero symptoms.

Implantation bleed; red blood just the once, on CD25 (28 day cycle). I usually spot the day before my period starts and thought that's what it was, albeit a little earlier than normal. There was no period the day, or the day after that so that got me thinking! Tested positive on CD27! Had implantation bleed when I was pregnant with my DD too, although that was brown. Hence why I thought AF was arriving this time, as I didn't expect the implantation bleed to be bright red.

I needed the loo a lot, and felt so so tired. I was getting home from work and going more or less straight to sleep. I was on the mini pill so don't normally have periods, but I took a rest to rule it out as I was getting worried the symptoms could be something that needed checking out- didn't expect it to be positive.

Sore boobs, like even walking downstairs was painful!

Was so tired I fell asleep twice in work, didnt think about it then read a book where the character was pregnant and sleepy, the following day morning sickness, then realised it had been ages since my period (and I still didnt believe it when I saw the line!!)

Very tired, things smelt weird and sore boobs.

Peeing. I was at an outdoor concert and walked clear across the field to pee. By the time I got back to my blanket I had to pee again. I thought to myself what the fu.. And it just hit me. I was pregnant. I knew it.

Constant need to pee - I thought I was getting a UTI, the next day I started feeling quesy and that's what prompted me to take the test
