    How did you feel?

    Hi girls,
    Just wondering did anyone feel different when they got pregnant? Apart from the usual symptoms, could you tell you were pregnant?
    I am finding it really hard to concentrate and wondering if I am or not! Think I might be making things up in my head!

    Hi Booties!

    I certianly 'felt' something. 1st time I kept having dizzy spells on what turned out to be about the day of implantation and this time same thing. All HPT showed negative results and DH thought I was going loopy but I just knew, problem was I didnt know if it was a sticky bub....

    All sounds very airy fairy I know but hope that helps.

    Hi Booties

    Here is my list of symptoms that I wrote down when I was 4 weeks (before POAS):

    * sore bbs when touched or bounced
    * swollen belly, now hard as a rock
    * occasional AF style cramping that goes away after a short while
    * aching, pulling feeling throughout abdomen (5 days of that now) like overstrained or pulled muscles, very painful
    * sooo tired in the evenings
    * trouble sleeping
    * blue vein has appeared right down length of belly on RHS
    * creamy cm on undies
    * toilet a few times during the night
    * lots of pooing
    * lots of gas pains and gas

    HTH! and good luck!!

    The only signal I had was that food suddenly tasted weird. I had a strange 'metallic' taste in my mouth and for some reason, all meat tasted 'off' to me.
    Oh, and cigarettes went from smelling pretty ick, to smelling DIVINE. I loved it (I mean obviously I didn't because I was trying to quit for the sake of bub's health, but holy moley every time DH lit up outside I was melting all over the place and hanging my head out the door to get a bigger whiff hahaha).

    for the first time in months i'd had no irregular symptoms and thought AF was just around the corner, for about 6 months before my BFP there was always something a little off (late, sorer boobs than normal, af showing at a different time of day than usual-the list was endless)
    so needless to say i was highly suprised that the month that there was nothing different i was infact pregnant

    I felt normal except for some tiredness. I also had bleeding gums & a stuffy nose but really I just felt normal in all other ways.
