How early did you get symptoms?

I have had a horrid time trying for a child, going through a still birth and a miscarriage, and now I am seeing pregnancy signs with every feeling or body change. My first pregnancy I didn't notice anything for the 1st four weeks before constant nausea, my second at three weeks I had a patch of awful itchy dry skin, which I don't get as my face is normally a touch greasy. Now I again I have super dry skin on my face, but at best I could only be 3 days pregnant. Has anyone else had any really early symptoms? Waiting to take the test is killing me

Firstly, I'm so sorry for your losses. Please try not to compare to others or to previous pregnancies as it can vary so much.

I've never had any early symptoms.

First symptoms with DD1 were just after missing a period - sore boobs and couldn't stomach my usual morning coffee. Sickness and everything else came at 7+ weeks.

DD2 everything came together at 5.5 weeks - sore boobs, sickness, diarrhea, food aversions, insomnia, headaches.

Good luck to you x

With my second I knew I was pregnant within days, even told my friends, did the test two weeks later which confirmed it

Like you I've had a stillbirth and (in fact more than) one miscarriage. I would find that first symptoms would appear fairly soon after the first missed period in the form of sore breasts. Also just 'feeling pregnant' came fairly early, followed by nausea at around six to eight weeks.

We're all different, of course.

Thanks everyone, I think I just need to calm down and wait and see if my period rocks up. In the mean time ignore everything else and try to stay sane.
