The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[mummyzilla]

Ok here is what I experienced with my first pregnancy

1.Severely needing a wee all the time, I literally thought I would p my pants on several occasions this was only 1 day late on my period aswell!

2. Smells made me feel sick mostly meat, bacon cooking made me want to vomit!

3. I went off food mainly mcdonalds and any kind of meaty junk food inc pizza, very odd!

4. Heavy feeling in uterus, the dragging sensation!

Bump!

I think it may be my turn. I got a faint this afternoon, so here's what I can tell you.

We actually thought we had missed the moment this month. I had been taking EPO which really helped CM. Out of the ordinary I got really horny and we were at it three nights in a row. So perhaps the raging hormones were a clue to the big O????

Pregnancy symptoms? The area under my nimples has been a bit achey. Af was due yesterday and I had a lot of cramping but it changed from windy cramp to almost UTI. What I did notice is it stayed in a tight ball around where my womb would be. Usually it starts like this and then the cramp speads down as far as my labia and then staining begins. So all yesterday I waited for the cramp to move down and it didn't.

Otherwise, all I cna say is I have no appetite but I'm still eating nonsense as I'm trying to entice myself.

I havent read the whole thread as it is already 85 pages long(!) but my symptoms with my first pregnancy was...

*very strong urine smell when I peed (lasted throughout my pregnancy)
*metallic taste in my mouth
*about 3 weeks after conception my breasts were painful

 

[Kel127]

Before I got my my first symptoms were sore nipples, my breasts got larger, started peeing more fequently, and had lotiony CM every morning (I'm usually very dry after Ovulation)

MS just started yesterday at almost 7 weeks!!!

 

[puppymom32]

Did anyone feel like their nipples were gonna rip open? that is what mine feel like right now and I never usually have boob symptoms for period or anything.

 

[hattiehippo]

I haven't read it all but thought I'd add my symptons in case it helps...

Mine was a surprise so I wasn't looking for symptons really. I definately got more once I found out just before 7 weeks.

Early ones (before I found out) were extreme triedness, so much so I thought something was seriously wrong with me, lots of crying and losing my temper, constant period like cramps that never quite got into the full blown thing, going off food and huge, hot and sore boobs.

Hello,

** NEWBIE** **FIRST POST**

I just my yesterday so only very newly pregnant but have been coming on here so much since my symptoms started that I thought I would post mine as this thread helped me so much.

This was our first month TTC and it was only half hearted really so massive surprise that I caught so easily. I have no chart or know my Ov date so will be fairly vague with timings.

The 2 things that really made me test was spotting (brown on tissue and 2 red bleeds in toilet) last week and gagging yesterday pm.

Other than that I have had symptoms but before the BFP didn't trust myself that they were symptoms IYKWIM..

Bad taste in mouth. Not metallic, but like a cold is coming - I thought it was...
Queasy feeling, but only seemed to happen when on here so thought it was excitement!
Bloating, but then I quite often have that anyway...
Some women say they just have a feeling and I think I actually did but because it was first month TTC I didn't know how to feel really. It just felt right. And I think that because I had the bleed it was concrete evidence really...

Things that noticeable I didn't have... sore boobs and CM, in fact pretty dry.

I hope this helps.

Am feeling brave enough to post here again now!

Unfortunately the above preganncy ended with in a few days of me writing that post.

BUT I am now 12 weeks pregnant! with this one I had virtually no symptoms. Even now I have really just had extreme tiredness.

Just wanted to write that even if you don't have symptoms, don't give up hope! It worked for me

 

[puppymom32]

Congrate Pooky!!! Good luck with the last two trimesters.

Okay now I am really confused a couple of days ago i had slight bleeding only noticed when I wiped. was this implantation after my period i dont know. then it stopped yesterday me and fiance did a test and it was bfn we were both heavily disappointed. now today it looks like the witch may have got me confused. we might be out for the month. i guess we have another two week wait ahead of us.

 

[soon2 b wifey]

forgot to add i have had a headache for a week now and boobs are no longer sore. but am still very tired and feel sick now.

Are horrible back pains and AF like cramps a possible sign of pregnancy? I am 12dpo and have been cramping since about 6dpo. I had just a few days where I felt nauseas all of a sudden but then it quickly went away. Any ideas? should be coming on Friday so I am going to try and wait it out until then...I really want my !!

Can I kindly suggest that everyone might find their answers by posting their own threads on the main forum rather than in the thread that is intended to list pregnancy symptoms as detailed by people with .. ?

You will certainly get more responses, as many people do not read this thread.

Well i got my on monday and my biggest symtom was lack of symtoms! Every month but this month i was sure i was pregnant i had every symtom going.. But this month i felt pretty normal. I had one or two headaches and a couple of twinges but nothing much, looking back my cm never disapeared like it usually does when the is on her way. Even after getting my bfp i still don't really feel pregnant, i have the odd pimple and feel a little bloated after eating but i feel quite normal. Infact i've POAS 5 times since getting bfp just to make sure i definitly am preggo! Good luck ladies, sending loads of baby dust your way x

I got my s Monday also.

Symptoms were:
5 dpo - stomach cramps and sore boobs. Especially the left one.
6/7dpo - blue vein noticable on left boob from mid chest to top of nip
8 dpo - felt off food. any food. Even mashed spud which is my all time comfort food started weeing every half hour. THought it may be due to me trying to drink 3 litres of water every day to chase the cold away I thought i was coming down with. Most embarassingly, I had mega windypoops! Farting virtually every 5 mins even though I not eaten anythin fart inducing.
9dpo - woke up with stonking sore throat, sneezing and general fuzzy headedness. Windypoops continue . Was turning into a snappy whingebag with my man, then in the next breath tears welling up at work if someone just said hello. That's not me at all.
10dpo increased lethargy, I usually run an hour a day, but today i found it difficult to walk to the park without needing an old lady bench to sit on. Massive nausea and falling .asleep as soon as I sat on settee. Windypoops a plenty.
11dpo vein on boob very dark now, spread to my areola which looks like it's bruised. Geting a cold for sure, which is nothing new for me, but when reading this big thread of symptoms started to wonder if this was a bfp symptom.
12dpo All of the above continue, including the usual throb of period pains & aches.
13dpo Got my first IC bfp. Then retested and got bfp on tescos one
14dpo Second bfp with increasing darkness and cb digi positive

15dpo this is today. Third bfp with the line only slightly lighter than the test line. Its a good un!

I'm feeling all of the above, and rather worried Im about to come on. I guess this is normal but can't help but worry it's all going to end tomorrow when the is due.

All the way from 4dpo i was testing on IC's, sometimes 4 a day. I did have the gut feeling i was preggers, but obviously nothing showed up cos it was far too early. Id' say gut instinct counts for a lot..spesh when coupled with symptoms.

Hope this helps anyone reading. I really hope you all get your s soon. I've only been on this site 2/3 weeks and have found the info and support amazing. It's all down to you xxxxxxx

- Peeing very frequently and needing to go in a rush
