Hi everyone, I hope you are all very well 🤍

I am 10 months postpartum and think I may be pregnant again! I am extremely nervous about it. I have a missed period & extremely nauseous/no appetite. 2 days ago I was actually physically sick. My period is '2 days late' but not sure as it's normal to see changes in your cycle for up to a year after pregnancy, my last period was the 24/04.

If I WAS pregnant I would only be 4 weeks and I very much doubt being so sick this early on. With my last pregnancy, sickness didn't start until 8 weeks and unfortunately didn't end until baby arrived.

I would be very interested, what were your first symptoms? Even before your BFP.

I will test later when I'm able to get to the shops and buy a test 🥹

An odd taste in my mouth was the very first symptom I had in both pregnancies.

Super sensitive nipples and total loss of appetite.

Blue-veined boobs, several days before my period was due. No doubt about it, tbh. Confirmed by a test when I was a week late. Tests weren't that accurate and were very expensive back then, but I knew already.

PMT on steroids, we nearly got divorced, I couldn't stand the sight of exh for at least a week before I got my BFP. We were away on holiday & I spent all week arguing black was white, I felt like I was losing my marbles. It was a good job we hadn't started our new patio, or he would have been under it.

Very visible veins on my breasts - I got a bit freaked out when I saw that soon after missing my period (I already knew I was pregnant).

@towantlus So??? What was the result?

I remember about to get in the bath, saw my boobs in the mirror and thought “I’m pregnant”. Something about them had changed- veins? Size? I don’t even know… that was 1st time and very much an unplanned pregnancy.

2nd time round felt hungry and bone tired. from around 4 weeks pregnant.

3rd time didn’t notice til 5-6 weeks pregnant and bloating was first sign when work skirt didn’t fit.

4th I felt dizzy and nauseous from about week 4/5

I took my period right before taking the test but tested anyways because of my symptoms and this was the result???? I am so confused. Is this an evap line???

I took a clear blue digital and it came back as not pregnant, confusing, the first test was obviously an evap line although I heard the clear blue ones are common for those.

Might be too early for a digital. Have you got any other tests? Has your period come?

TheShellBeach · 26/05/2024 11:18

I'm confused, OP.
Have you started bleeding now?
If you have, this could be a chemical pregnancy.

towantlus · 26/05/2024 11:29

Yes my period arrived last night before the test. I still took the test due to my symptoms of pregnancy. Period is still here, just like a normal period! Could of been a chemical pregnancy, yes. Weird!

Boobs felt tight, achey...and I never have boob pain with period

MixedCouple2 · 26/05/2024 12:07

Never too early. With my 2nd pregnancy my symptoms started 9DPO!
My first symptom was heart burn, nausea and SIJ pain. 8DPO I woke up with a spot on my face right in the middle of my cheek..never ever happened in my 36years. So that was a sign.
Have you done a HPT?

My periods were hectic until I weaned my DS1

Ismo456 · 26/05/2024 19:27

Sore boobs, itchy skin in the evenings and a few spots on my face which wasn’t the norm for me!

caringcarer · 26/05/2024 19:43

Tender boobs, constantly wanting to wee by 4 weeks then morning sickness by 5-6 weeks.

ThirtySomethingMum00 · 26/05/2024 20:05

I woke up in the morning and my first thought was I need a pint of Guiness. I remember thinking how weird as I detest Guiness and really just don't like alcohol in general. Craving got worse over the course of a week and then I found out I was pregnant! I told the midwife this at my booking in appointment and her response was that my body is probably craving iron!

Heartburn!
