Symptoms so early?

[New_Mommy_26]

Hey
First time Mommy here. A little worried that I'm having symptoms so early. Morning sickness started at 4 weeks. Tests show positive two weeks before my missed period. Breast tenderness even earlier. Currently on week five. I've outgrown my bra and pants. I can't stop eating. I'm dizzy a lot. Yesterday I had 5 sandwiches, a bowl of cereal and a granola bar. Is this normal? I'd ask my doctor, but my coverage doesn't start until January and unfortunately. I only found out how far along I am from a free clinic.

Same here.  I had symptoms pretty much since baby implanted himself 5 days before I missed my period.  I took a dollar store hpt on the day I was supposed to get my period and it was positive.  I even took 3 different brands of dollar store tests and all were positive.  I had a fever and food aversions since 5 days before I took the test, and had nausea without vomiting the whole first trimester.  Having early pregnancy symptoms is just as normal as not having them early on.  I'm now 29 wks and have been feeling much better since week 16.

It's probably fine but like someone said you could be further along. Usually you won't get a positive until about a week after the missed period. However i found at 3 weeks by a blood test at the hospital and I had had symptoms virtually the day after conception!  Increased appetite, sleeping all the time, increased urination, gas, constipation the works!

I meant are you sure you're only "5" weeks?

Are you sure you're only 4 weeks? It's HIGHLY unlikely that your test came back positive 2 weeks before your missed period. You may be farther along than you think.

I agree ^^ every person and pregnancy is different. I experienced fatigue, increased appetite,  tender breasts,  and nausea but no vomiting (thank God) in the first few weeks up until 2nd trimester. My fiance said that it seemed as though my breasts had gotten bigger too and the pain in my nipples were horrific! But it has calmed down a little at 22w3d. Best advice is to take your prenatal vitamins and DHA and maybe extra folic acid since recommended is 1000mcg yet prenatals only go to 800mcg. Good luck! :)

I felt symptoms almost immediately. I think every person is different and there is nothing to be worried about. Make sure you're taking care of yourself and I'd suggest vitamins

Every person every pregnancy is different.. nausea dizziness n tenderness can start pretty early. I suggest you take small meals frequently instead of eating big meals. It will help manage the hunger. Also include fruits. Drink lots of water. Go for short walks whenever possible. Once you start monthly check ups your doctor will guide you accordingly.
