What were your earliest signs (before positive test?)

Sorry if that is TMI!!!! - and sorry if that has tainted anyone's romantic rose-tinted view of pregnancy............but that was honestly one of my first signs (along with the huge aching boobs etc listed above).

How glamorous it all is

Lol at the glamour and wind....and I want to do it for a third time???

I feel extremely weird and experiencing lots of these things ...but am only on CD25 and tests are -ve so far. Fingers crossed I am not having some phantom wishful thinking symptoms....!!

Oh and loads of spots. I feel like a teenager again. However, it is reassuring to have these outbreaks as it confirms to me that my hormones are changing. Good sign.

very light spotting 4 days before AF due

LuLuMacGloo · 12/09/2008 22:27

Craving for non-alcoholic lager and strange pinging sensation in my stomach (no idea what that was about).

Feeling sick at smell of coffee

A smell of tomato soup all the time

themoon66 · 12/09/2008 22:31

Also... very very thirsty. Craving for orange juice.

My symptoms felt like I was brewing for a period - very confusing!

nearly vomiting when we had to feed next door's cat - increased sensitivity to bad smells is the dead giveaway for me.

Ilovebeingamummy · 15/09/2008 14:46

I think I am going mad....I have had increasing nausea over the last 4 days (worse in mornings but on and off all day, strange abdominal sensations (no idea how to describe) and extreme tiredness. But I am now on CD26 and have done a (cheap ebay) test everyday for 6 days and sill -ve (I have no patience!

Is it possible to get 'morning' sickness before hormone level high enough to read +ve on test???

Tender boobs, sleeping 2-3 times per day, sore swollen tummy, slight feeling of sickness and alcohol made me feel sick(just like with the first one). Despite all this, i still didn't think i was preg. lol!

I used to go to the loo at lunchtime when I was at work (creature of habit) but I suddenly couldn't last the morning without going at least once.

Also, the week after conception having sex hurt a little bit - a bit like my cervix was swollen. Had never happened before but it made me think that perhaps I was already pregnant.

Nothing else until I tested a week after AF was due.

With DS2 the tiredness kicked in a lot quicker, still with the need to wee all the time!

Car sick - horribly car sick, and I never get that normally (it was a precurser to the proper sickness which started a couple of weeks later). Also a weird reaction to perfectly nice smells - I practically had to leave the room due to the smell of some vanilla tea, although usually I find vanilla a lovely smell. This combination made me suspicious I might be pg and I did a first response test at 9 dpo and it came up +ve.
