As reads in the title

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Took me an hour to drink a glass of wine 😂

Feeling sick

Moby715 · 06/09/2021 21:11

Sore boobs and being randomly breathless for no real reason.

Suzi888 · 06/09/2021 21:12

Couldn’t do my jeans up and had a weird feeling that I didn’t want anyone touching my stomach or going near it. Craved beef. Felt tired.

A "delayed" period that I put down to having my covid jag after the same happened after my first one. That and peeing a lot more

First, nothing really MAP side effects blended into pregnancy. Test two weeks after MAP

Second, felt not quite crampy but something there so tested. Must have been about 5 weeks so not very pregnant at all

Crying at sentimental tv shows. Then itchy enlarged breasts.

Pixiedust49 · 06/09/2021 21:16

Boobs unbelievably sore. Strong, strong sense of smell like never before.

Breathlessness

FATEdestiny · 06/09/2021 21:26

6 dpo I went for "a nap" at 5.30pm. Woke up at 9.30am the following day.

I've had 5 pregnancies (and 4 children) and the same for all of them. Total exhaustion, like comical and ludicrous levels of being tired, a good week before period is due.

Barwell76 · 06/09/2021 21:29

Needing to wee a lot and being irrationally angry

lockdownbabyx · 06/09/2021 21:35

Sore boobs

Runkle · 06/09/2021 21:40

Sore throat/cold symptoms which looking back were around the time of implantation.

EatingJunkAndWatchingRubbish · 06/09/2021 21:47

The veins in my boobs became really blue and prominent and areolas went really dark Confused I had IVF so was symptom spotting like crazy. Didn't have any of the usual symptoms until a bit later on but those 2 things in the 2WW and I just had a feeling. I just knew it had worked. Smile

Sickness

Babyfg · 06/09/2021 22:03

Everything tasted funny. When I was pregnant with my third I had checked the sell by date on the third or fourth thing I ate and was like ooooohhhh sh*t better test!

ReginaaPhalange · 06/09/2021 22:08

Absolutely nada! Just a bfp! Took until week 9 to actually have symptoms!

EdgeOfACoin · 06/09/2021 22:28

@MarshmallowsOnToast

Raised BBT, it's what made me test as if written myself off that month.

Then I didn't really have any symptoms until nausea kicked in a few weeks later.

Ditto. I'd written myself off as well - was sure my period was coming.

Very vivid dreams, quite enjoying them to be honest! I only found out recently that I’m 4 weeks pregnant and it still feels mad to write that down Smile

Mangofandangoo · 06/09/2021 22:40

Boobs were agony Confused

DramaAlpaca · 06/09/2021 22:42

Blue veins appeared in my boobs.

starfishmummy · 06/09/2021 22:48

Heartburn!

@ShellUK09 I think I have a feeling what sort of dreams you're referring to 😉. I have them too!

@Suzi888 Are you me!? All of the above was true for me, but I also went off having my boobs touched. Was very defensive about anybody coming near my body Angry
