Aside from missing your period - what was the first symptom that made you think you might be pregnant? How far along we're you?

starsinger17 · September 2013

When I was pregnant with DS my first hint was when I was working the night shift and got unbelievably tired at 9 when I normally couldn't fall asleep before 3am. I wanted to wait until the last possible day my period could be due before testing and that morning I woke up at 2am to pee which was also unusual for me so I tested and got my BFP. Other than that I just had PMS symptoms and really really sore booobeees. I got my BFP at 4w5/6d.

With all three of my pregnancies I didn't have any symptoms until about 8 weeks along, so long after I missed my period. With my oldest the first symptom was morning sickness (all day) and with the other two it was soul crushing fatigue.

Humm for me I didn't click in until I realized my period was almost a week late and the cramps I was feeling were maybe not my pre period cramps. I also had a bit of an upset stomach and had waves of nausea but just thought I was run down and coming down with something. So basically I was in complete shock when I got my BFP!

ally510 · September 2013

For me it was frequent peeing and a little acid reflux, which I had never had before. I tested & got a bfp at 12 do.

jnnfrrose6 · September 2013

I felt hungover for 3 days after New Years and knew that couldn't be the reason. I didn't party that hard...

lookame3639 · September 2013

I ate a jar of pickles in an hour, I was tired all the time and took 2 hour naps, and I felt full yet extreamly hungry. Soneone told me their wife was pregnant and when I thought about it I realized I hadnt had a period in awhile. Test and instantly pink...

jcsumm0 · September 2013

I didn't have any symptoms until well after my BFP. I got it at 15 dpo, first symptom was sore boobs at 5.5 weeks.

vikinggirl4 · September 2013

I (a chocolate-holic) couldn't stand to look at, nevermind eat, chocolate of any kind, and I could smell cucumbers when people in the office were eating them. Also (not a symptom) my dog got really cuddly (she usually sleeps between DH's knees, but started curling up with me). My BFP was at 6 weeks.

EmeJay · September 2013

I was in a meeting at work and suddenly, I was so dizzy, I thought for sure I was about to pass out. 15 seconds later, everything was back to normal.

This is the only thing that was different, but I can't say for sure that it was pregnancy related.

INmommy871278 · September 2013

Really really sore boobs was the very first symptom. Then I started feeling sickly, but not sick enough for vomiting and became excessively tired.

TeeJ526 · September 2013

I kid you not but my nipples were erect. All the time and after the 3rd day it was embarrassing. You could see them no matter what kind of bra I was wearing and DH made fun of me by saying that I could probably cut glass. I was about 6 weeks along.

AppleGrapeMSTK · September 2013

My GYNO had just told me I was basically infertile, so even though I had a whole mess of symptoms, it didn't click until so much later. My boobs were so huge and I started cramping. I thought I was about to have my period, and I was pissed that I was going to have to buy a larger bra just for when I had my period. MIL and a coworker both commented on how I must be pregnant because my boobs were so big, and at the time, it really hurt because it was piggybacking on my GYNO telling me if Clomid didn't work, my only option was IVF. ((for the record, she was a terrible doctor in regards to fertility)) There was blood when I wiped, so I assumed it was my period, but it was so light that using a tampon was pointless.

DH and I went on one last date night before our wedding, and we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant. When they brought out my smothered burrito, I ran to the bathroom to puke. The sight and smell of the melted cheese was sooooo gross. While I was in the bathroom, DH googled pregnancy symptoms on his phone. By the time I came back, he was convinced I was KU. I was convinced I had had my period and caught some sort of stomach bug. I POAS the next morning. I was 6 weeks along.

I went out for sushi with my mother, and couldn't look at the sushi, or my sake. I love sushi (and sake).

She looked across the table at me and just stated "You're pregnant". She said my boobs were popping out and she could see it in my face.

Of course, this was 5 years ago, I wasn't married, didn't really have a great relationship so I certainly wasn't trying, and also, I was on the pill, so I told her she was absolutely insane. Nope, two days later my period was late and my mom was right on the money.

My 2nd BFP - no real symptoms. That one was a few months ago and believe me, I was LOOKING for symptoms, lol. I got about 4 BFN's beforehand, though, and didn't get a BFP until AF was actually late.

jenb_99 · September 2013

My first symptom was a positive HPT at 9 DPO, 4 days before AF was expected. Around 9 weeks my nipples started to ache and throb like someone had smashed them with a hammer. Otherwise I didn't "feel" pregnant at all. I never had morning sickness, spotting, or cramping.

Aside from the occasional heartburn and other digestive issues, I had a relatively symptom-free pregnancy till the beginning of the third trimester, when I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and my platelets crashed.

MamaBovs · September 2013

Period was late - that was it!

vrj0522 · September 2013

EmeJay - I think it probably was pregnancy related.

My first symptom was at 10 DPO. DH and I watched a documentary on 9/11 that was made up of home videos. Usually home videos make me dizzy but this time, after the 2 hour video I was so dizzy that I thought I was going to throw up and I remained somewhat dizzy for 2 days, which had never happened. I thought it was really strange so I googled how soon pregnancy symptoms show up and read that it takes 4-6 weeks so I dismissed it altogether. I didn't test until 2 1/2 weeks later after more possible symptoms showed up (crazy hunger, lower back pain, fatigue, ligament pain) by which time I was 6 wks pregnant.

Kamiegrace1 · September 2013

I started getting really sore boobs and sensitivity to smells 5-6 before my period was due. I got my BFP one day before my period was due.

mrsmullins0500 · September 2013

Period was late so I tested! I did start having round ligament pain early. Probably around 6 weeks. Morning sickness (all day sickness) started at 7 weeks and never stopped!

howljenkins · September 2013

I couldn't stand the smell of coffee. It was tragic. But after 2 days of that I decided to test and got my positive! I was just shy of 4 wks.

kikalynne · September 2013

I ate 8 clementines and drank a half gallon of orange juice in 3 hours. We weren't preventing at the time and I thought "Well, that's not normal!" POAS and got a very faint positive. I was 5 weeks KU.

Pintobean39 · September 2013

Having to pee more is usually my only symptom at first but I never get that until after my period is due.

graciesmurf · September 2013

We were on a cruise around AFtime (don't remember the exact timing, but I was expecting my period to start on the cruise). I got seasick.

Terrapantz · September 2013

My nips always get sore when I O and the month I found out I was pregnant, they stayed sore my entire LP. I didn't really have symptoms until after I got my BFP.

ns1 · September 2013

For DD 1 I tested a couple days after AF was probably expected since I was told I didn't O that cycle. When I tested I got a BFP and realized that it made sense because before that I had been hungry all the time (I should've soaked that up because morning sickness set in really quickly after that), and my boobs felt weird - full and tingly kind of at random times.
