What symptoms of pregnancy did you experience before you found out you were pregnant?

[My Miracle Baby]

Hello :wave:

What symptoms of pregnancy did you experience BEFORE you found out you were pregnant after TTC? Or were you blessed with no symptoms until later on?

Would like to know your experiences.

For me it was really really itchy skin on my back, upper arms and chest. It was wierd, really itchy but no rash or anything. Turns out this is quite common in early pregnancy and is caused by hormones.
Other then that the next symptom would have been the sore bb's - definitely a different kind of sore to the pre-menstrual kind of sore

I only got cramps.. but I didnt think anything of them other than af was due lol

[MoonstoneMumma]

I was soooo extremly tired! I had just moved from nsw to wa and thought i was tired all the time from the time diff!! I would go to bed at 8pm of the night, wake up at 7am the next day, the off to bed at 12pm that day and wake up again at 4pm, then back to bed at 8pm that night. So that was a dead give away for me!

Oh and i had cramps as well, thought that my period was comming as they were similar to the ones i get before i normaly get my period. They went on for about 3 - 4 weeks though.

I felt quesy with certain foods, like the smell of weetbix made me wanna:barf:

But the smell of fish&chips made me wanna chow down:D

I was like that for a day or two before i thought "Whoa somethings not right here!":idea: :laughing:

I had morning and night sickness for about 6 weeks and cravings for ice, lettuce, green beans, peanut butter and fish&chips!

I got a coldsore both times!

I had some implantation bleeding on 7 and 8dpo which made me suspicious straight away because I never bleed mid cycle.
I was also really thirsty and moody.

[Peaceangels]

Extreme tiredness :sleeping: and bad nausea :thumbsdown:

[petster]

I had a few cases of heartburn, which I only ever get get when I'm pregnant... I also got dizzy if I stood up or moved too quickly... And I got really queasy after scoffing hot chips...

Cheers!

I was really unquenchably thirsty, and I went right off coffee and chocolate (VERY unusual for me :laughing: ). Oh, and my boobs were really sore.

[LittleBoysRock]

I was feeling tired, peeing a lot, I could smell EVERYTHING, couldnt sleep on my stomach anymore and I had really really tender boobs. That and the nausea!!

There was no mistaking my pregnancy!! :p

I had dark CM - almost dark beige or tan colour on a few occasions. I have had it before only a few times and that was when I was pregnant with DD - saw it and put two and two together. A few days later a hpt confirmed what I had suspected.

I was the same Littlepickle, I had really really itchy skin.

I was also out of breath..even if it was a simple walk to the shops...when I told dh he went and got a pregnancy test even though I didn’t even remotely think i was pregnant (we had been trying for a year..so I was over getting my hopes up) anyway it obviously proved to be a positive!!:smiliedance:

hmm what else...oh I had really really sore boobs...and my nipples were constantly hard..if they rubbed against anything it really hurt! lol sorry if thats TMI!:o

I think thats about it....then a couple of weeks later the morning sickness hit big time...though it wasnt just morning...its was all through the day!

:fingerscrossed:

With both my pregnancies i got major nicotine cravings. I am a non-smoker though lol ;) (never gave into it though) and also my nipples went purple and became very sensitive. With ods i had cramps like af was coming but never came.

[nuddle]

bad cramps a week before AF, sore boobs, tired, and nosebleeds

[SJE]

Felt like I had the flu minus snotty nose. Oh and it was really weird my heart was beating like a rabbits:eek:

Really tired and couldn't stand any food

Then massive cravings for hot chips and lemons. Couldn't stand meat or vedgies.
Then switched to milo and icecream for the rest of the time.
It's amazing she came out ok.

I was extremely tired and dizzy. I kept having blackouts, similar to the kind that can occur when you get up too quickly?!
I went to a doctor who thought I had glandular fever. I also had tonsilities, so he gave me a course of penicilin - and I was pregnant!!
(I should have sued... :D he didn't ask if I could be pregnant!)

[nats]

Nausea.
And enlarged breasts:thumbsup: .............I new it was too good to be true:thumbsdown:

[3 bambinos]

[Terrible2+1cutie]
