Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[amn702]

What were the earliest pregnancy symptoms you experienced, even before you had a positive HPT??? I want to see several answers to see how the symptoms vary from person to person. As always, thanks ladies :)

[amn702]

i wonder if it's just my mind making me THINK i notice things... but i swear it seems like i have a lot more veins in my breasts. so that's another symptom... i took a test this AM because the wait is killing me, but it was negative. i'm supposed to take it Jan 4th.

[amn702]

thank you all! i soooo hope this is it!! :)

[Aep0511]

Cramping, frequent peeing, and sore breasts. I'm only around 5 weeks now.

With all 3 pregnancies I got nasal mucus (really nasty) and I spit like crazy. Way b4 my missed period. Its weird. I knew I was pregnant bcuz of that and kaiser's pt even said negative but sure enough a few wks later it was positive

[stacey10]

my first time my boobs got huge, now its more like my veins and ipple and I get a pulling/tugging sensation like my period is about to start, oohh I'm wishing you luck :)

[amn702]

Thanks a ton, Ladies :) I'm having mild cramping, hot flashes, fatigue, and my boobs aren't sore but my nipples are. I'm praying this is it! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much though, because I've been disappointed so many times.

I was so bloated! Heightened sense of smell. Sore breasts started at 5 wks.

I tested the day before my period was due.  I was driving around because my bf and I got in a fight.  I was SOOOOOO emotional!! I was crying over not going to a company christmas party?!?!?! LOL! I was in Dollar General and on a whim got a test.  Instant DARK positive! haha my bf wasn't surprised.  Atleast we knew why i was being a big baby!  :)

[amn702]

wow, thanks ladies for all the input :) Some of what you are describing sounds an awful lot like what I'm experiencing...so maybe, just maybe... this might be my month :) It's a little too early to test. Thanks so much!!

It was just before i missed my period that i noticed my breasts were definitely larger than normal....not like a lot, but i could tell. i just knew i had to be pregnant

I was only 3.5 weeks when I found out. My breasts were so sore and had been for a few days. I took 3 tests and all positive. My husband claims he figured I was when I started having headaches. It's our seconds pregnancy :)

[smjmekg]

I tested positive just before missing a period with both mine, so ALMOST four weeks pregnant. About 3 weeks 4-6 days or so...with my first my breasts hurt REALLY bad. The second, the only thing I noticed was excessive peeing. Around 5-6ish weeks I'd get nauseated with both or not like the taste of something/be grossed out by meats.

[sehale]

Mild cramping, sore breasts, hot flashes, and extreme tiredness. I got a positive hpt at three or four weeks.

[alysha29]

Mild cramping and lots of peeing

[Clysta]

Fatigue, breast tenderness and severe nausea/vomiting.

[june282012]

With all of my pregnancies, even those that ended in miscarriage, my first signs were sore breasts and heightened sense of smell. By my third pregnancy, I knew long before I got a positive test because I could small what my upstairs neighbors were cooking from the parking lot. Lol

[LovemyKids86]

I didn't really have any symptoms till after I found out, I just knew.
The night before I tested I couldn't sleep all night long so when I took the bf to work I went and bought a cheap equate test, went and took it and seemed like 10 minutes went by before the results showed but it was there!

After I found out I had cravings for limes and tomatoes for about 3 weeks straight. Now I can't eat tomatoes like I used to.

Had sore breasts when I was about 5 weeks for a couple weeks. No morning sickness and had some bloating.

First baby I got morning sickness around 10w. This baby I experienced implantation bleeding and started morning sickness around 6w.

[jellybean430]

Sore soreee breasts, very light implantation bleeding ( literally like two dots ), also it sounds weird but I had a feeling like I was.

[Morrisfamily2012]

I had sore breast, tired more than usual, and headaches. Then the cramps you get. My nausea lasted from 5 weeks to 8 weeks. Has died of now,  but I do expect it to come and go. I am 9w1d now.

[stephl81]

I had a metallic taste in my mouth and experienced implantation bleeding before I tested positive for pregnancy. It was weird because the implantation bleeding happened at the exact time I shoulda had my period, my periods are pretty regular.  So I thought nothing of it. Then two weeks later I just had this feeling, I just knew it! I was pregnant. I was one of the fortunate ones that didnt fatigue or morning sickness! Im hoping baby number 2 is just as nice to me! :)

[MamaBear0612]

Morning sickness and fatigue and all that didn't start until I was 6-7 weeks, but I found out at 4 weeks. The earliest symptom I had prior to that was just this odd pulling sensation in my abdomen. It was totally unlike menstrual cramps, totally unlike any cramp I'd ever felt, just a really quick momentary almost pinching sensation in my stomach that would then release. It would happen once or twice a day for about a week, and I would be like, hmm, odd...and then keep going about my business. I didn't initially connect it to pregnancy, not until my period was a little late too. Even when I took the test I didn't expect the result I got, total shock. :)
