What was your first pregnancy symptom and how long after did you get your positive pregnancy test?

I had an ectopic pregnancy in March and had really sensitive nipples for a week before my positive pregnancy test and it seems this is a common early symptom. Currently trying again and have the tell tale sensitive nipples on CD 24.... 😬🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Vivid/strange dreams

Sore boobs first time. No symptoms second time. 22 weeks and not had any symptoms at all 😂 I keep forgetting I'm even pregnant

Realising I had gone off a cup of tea in the mornings

Indigestion/gas/bloated 7dpo followed by nausea that felt like constant sea sickness. Positive test at 10dpo. The nausea didn't end until 14 weeks, it was awful.

Falling asleep randomly and very vivid dreams. Each time I’ve been pregnant I’ve always known by the vivid dreams

1st excessively greasy hair. Just hours after it being washed
2nd pregnancy, currently 14 weeks. Strong sense of smell when I'm normally noseblind and cramps, tiredness

Metallic taste in mouth

mrsed1987 · 09/11/2023 22:11

Sore boobs both times.

This time round I took a pregnancy test on day I was due on and got a positive!

Bad stomach cramps, akin to the worst period pain I'd ever had (and I didn't often get bad period pain).

I threw up one evening, a couple of times, for no apparent reason. Barely dared hope as we’d been trying for so long, but took a test the next morning anyway, and it was finally positive! I was about 5 weeks… I was then sick multiple times every single day until DS was born. Yay for HG 🤣

Loafbeginsat60 · 09/11/2023 22:23

Sore boobs the day my period was due. Tested and bingo

Same thing with second pregnancy

thirdistheonewiththehairychest · 09/11/2023 22:33

Extreme thirst

unicornsandchocolate · 09/11/2023 23:02

V sore breasts alongside absolute exhaustion! Both just before I tested positive.

Nottogetapenny · 09/11/2023 23:11

Being sick, all day not just morning sickness! Was my first symptom. It lasted for weeks and weeks aa well as excessive tiredness.

DramaAlpaca · 09/11/2023 23:15

Very noticeable blue veins in my boobs. I didn't test until a week after my period was due so the test just confirmed what I already knew.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 09/11/2023 23:21

Craving chocolate, wine tasting like
Soap and being very tired

Vargas · 09/11/2023 23:23

Odd swirly feeling in my abdomen.

Pussygaloregalapagos · 09/11/2023 23:25

Sore boobs

Lavender14 · 09/11/2023 23:26

We were ttc so I knew quite early I had this weird empty stomach sick feeling in the morning that was like nothing I'd had before and I was really hungry. Felt it two mornings in a row and just knew something was different so did a test that afternoon which came back 1-2 weeks positive. Shortly after that my boobs got massive and incredibly painful.

LaVitesse2022 · 09/11/2023 23:28

Sore boobs just before period was due.

Toothache

user1471284740 · 10/11/2023 00:19

I did a pregnancy test after realising I hadn’t done my monthly pre period clean of the house and sure enough I was pregnant!

MissBattleaxe · 10/11/2023 00:48

I looked out of the kitchen window and saw our runner beans. I immediately wanted to eat them. I picked them, cooked them and ate them hot with my hands before vit dawned on me that I should probably take a pregnancy test. It was positive.

Allthingspeaches · 10/11/2023 01:11

Really vivid dreams

CrikeyMajikey · 10/11/2023 02:18

I couldn’t eat my Chicken Tikka Masala. First mouthful was not quite right, second was awful and third I spat out and declared I was pregnant.
