Your Early Pregnancy Signs

[katiej26]

Hi all, just wondering what some of your early (even just before AF is supposed to arrive) pregnancy signs were.... I'm TTC #1 and even tho i've read practically EVERY site on the early signs and symptoms - i was wondering what other experiences you have all had?

AF is due, but nothing yet, and i'm so nervous excited. I felt absolutely exhausted when i got up this morning like i could have slept for another 4 hours, have a lot of thick CM (TMI??!!) and feel like i'm how to put it... "leaking" or about to wet myself. IS this a sign? or am i reading to much into it all?


HELP!!!!!

I really noticed how incredibly sensitive my boobs were. Even before AF was due. I didnt normally get that sensitive before AF was due. I couldnt even handle brushing them against soemthing or the water hitting them in the shower!

Good luck and I hope you get your PHPT test soon!!!!

Me too Alibaby- unbelieveably sore boobs!! I remember that I couldn't lie on my tummy (which I hated) and I kept waking up early in the morning for no reason; sometimes with a funny soapy taste in my mouth.
Then after AF was due- I had ridiculous hunger pangs. I'd have to get up at midnight to eat a second dinner. Then I'd wake up in the morning ravenous again. The hunger was worst in the early days (as the heart, brains etc are being formed) then it settled down after 3 months.

Speaking about the early days- I'm on a 2ww (2 week wait) at the moment too- I really hope we both get the news we are hoping for soon!!

I had very very sore boobs - couldnt get hugged or anything. Also pretty bad heartburn. And started falling asleep around 8pm which is not like me.

Ummm this is embarassing but I become a bit of a nympho for the first 8 weeks or so and can't get enough Maccas chicken nuggets with mcchicken sauce!

OMG Me too !I had a really "spicy" dream and I woke up and I though....mmmm that hasn't happened in a long while?? But my very first sign was actually an implantation bleed. AF wasn't due for another 2 weeks I think? Apart from that I felt soooooooo bloated I just couldn't suck my stomach in AT ALL!

Okay, a small amount of implantation spotting (pink cm), exploding/sore BB's, increased CM but not till a bit after AF due (and not the same as OV CM, more clear and transparent), ohhhh and a senistive nose, all day sickness! I had them all pretty early! I wish you luck and hope this is the one for you!

Thanks to everyone for posting on this thread.... I had posted a similar question in a TTC thread but no-one responded...?
I am 5DPO and feel like I am coming down with the flu or a huge head cold... I never get sick and can not remember the last time I had a cold... It also feels like a hang over or lack of sleep??? I was wondering if this is a sign of pregnancy or is it just wishful thinking? I also feel like I need to pee all the time and then after I do I still feel like my bladder is full (you know the pain you get when you haveto hold on for an hour in the car lol), is this also a sign? Thanks

My symptoms were: cervix high, gg white CM and quite a bit of it, really sore tender tingling boobs, tired and emotional, hope this helps. I was also looking for pregnancy signs in my books, on BB and Google even though i have been pregnant before forgot alot of the signs.

With this pregnancy, I didn't get any early symptoms apart from feeling extremely tired the evening before I tested. With DS2 I got really tender BBs and my skin broke out with pimples EVERYWHERE - on my face, back, chest, in my ears, etc! With DS1 I didn't have any symptoms at all and tested when I was already 5 weeks. The day after I had it confirmed at the GP I had m/s

Good luck!

I had reeaally sore boobs, and they were sore in a completely different way to what they are before AF, I actually remember saying that to DH a few days before I was due. I also couldn't stop eating, I'd get home from work and clean out the fridge!!! And, I was also really tired for that week before...

Good luck

Totally different to everyone so far - I had the runs! My dh joked maybe I was pg, so I went to the dr and a test showed I was!! I was 2 days overdue for AF.

My first pregnancy (m/c) was extreme heartburn and that's it.
My second pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms apart from a mild sore throat.

Hey Katie
In all 3 of my pgs I've been extremely tired and had an abundence of thick CM (not TMI :P).
First Response HPTs can detect the pg hormone hCG 5 days before missed period - go get one!!
Good luck sweety!

At the time I conceived I had heaps of ulcers on my tongue and my mouth was feeling really gross and metalic. My cousin was the one who suggested I was pregnant. About a week and a half later I did a test (4 days before my period was due) and it was positive.

Hi Ladies

I've heard that some women get veiney bb's when they are pg. I've always got blue veins on my chest and bb's. But I have notices small red veins that have poped up in the last few days.

Should I be looking for more blue veins or are the red veins the ones to look out for?

thanks
