1st Trimester
what was your first sign you were pregnant? any weird signs?
i'm just curious what some of your first signs/symptoms were when you first figured out you were pregnant - before the test? a friend of mine told me she knew because she suddenly got REALLY clumsy 
so that got me wondering what other odd signs people got......

Re: what was your first sign you were pregnant? any weird signs?
oh yeah forgot until i read salad dressing post
craved tons of soy sauce on white rice something inormally didnt eat.
1st pregnancy, nothing. Just late AF. Maybe lack of cramps was a clue, I don't know.
This time I was queasy for a week before AF was due and I gagged while brushing my teeth. During 1st pregnancy I gagged on my toothbrush EVERY FREAKING DAY for 9 long months.
Exhaustion and painful cramping!

Nothing out of the ordinary for me.
Before my BFP w/ 1st pregnancy I was bloated, cramping, very tender and full breasts.
This 2nd pregnancy I had a missed period and a positive HPT, and that is all.
An urge to punch people in the face. I was sure it was bad PMS, enough that for 2 days, I just avoided DH at home in fear that I'd blow up at him about something stupid. I remember going off on a co-worker for not inviting me to a meeting until the last minute.
Exhaustion, nausea, bloated, to be honest I just felt/still feel like total poo.
My chart was looking really good.
I had breast tenderness right off the bat, but I never put much weight into phantom symptoms.

My boobs were sore. But they were sore the month prior and that was a BFN so I didn't think much of it. After the fact, I thought back to 4th of July; when I ordered my subway sandwich, I picked the Jalapeno chips to go with it. I've NEVER eaten jalapeno chips before, nor had I have craved them. But for some reason, I really wanted them!
I took my test the day before my period was due to start, so missed period wasn't a sign for me.
I felt pretty normal (beside the sore boobs) all the way until week 6 when the m/s kicked in.
This one and DS I just had a really grumbly tummy and with this one MAJOR heartburn. Ugh!
Owen Anders: labor (natural onset), failed VBAC, emergency c/s.
For me, DH and I had decided in early June to stop preventing and just see what happened. On July 2nd, I had sore boobs (typical PMS symptom) and strange cramping. My AF cramps were always in my lower back and generally came on the first day of my period. These cramps were in my ovary area, so that was my first clue. I took the test on July 3 and was very shocked to see a positive
ETA: I also couldn't sleep past 8:00 a.m. which was a new thing for me

With my first pg, I was clueless to the signs until I got a blazing BFP at 16dpo. Looking back, the early signs were fatigue (2 hr naps every day for like 4 days straight), feeling sick during my runs, faster resting HR (from 60 to 72-74), incredibly sore boobs, and AF-like cramps.
With this pg, I knew very early that I was pg. I had ovulation pains on the right and then days later I had all kinds of gurgling and "processing" pains on my left where my uterus is. I continued to have a tender abdomen and then I got a stuffy nose and a sore lower back, gas & constipation, fatigue, and my resting HR went up again. I got a very, very faint BFP at 8dpo.
