Besides your missed period what was your first symptom?

For me, even before morning sickness, my nails started growing ridiculously fast.

MY FACE BROKE OUT!

Nericole · April 2012

NThieme:
MY FACE BROKE OUT!

Mine too, I feel disgusting. Nobody else notices but I feel like it's 6th grade all over again.

I've had to start washing my face at least twice a day, rather than once... and still wake up with a bunch of little white heads all over (EWWW)

My first symptoms was sore breasts (sore is an understatement). I was complaining about them for almost two weeks before we even tested. Didn't even think it was because I was pregnant! I was really pessimistic about TTC, so it was a pleasant surprise and explanation.

Sore breasts and the dreaded bloat.

kelly321 · April 2012

Usually I get moderate to serious cramping on CD 1-3. With DD, the only symptom I had in the 2WW was cramping starting at 7dpo, so I was hoping that meant something was up, and it was.

With this LO it was the same - light cramping at 7dpo and otherwise nothing.

Looking back it was cramping, but I just thought that my period was near. Then, my boobs and nipples were so tender. That is what tipped me off that it might not be just the normal monthly visit!

librarianjen · April 2012

The 5 days before my BFP, I noticed my breasts were very sore and I was exhausted in the middle of the day. We were not TTC and this baby is a complete (and wonderful!) surprise, so I wasn't looking for symptoms.

FrickandFrack · April 2012

I started breaking out here and there but thought nothing of it. Then I starving all the time and again, thought nothing of it. I also started getting really gassy but thought nothing of it. When I got nauseus one night, that was my clue and I POAS.

HannahsMom21 · April 2012

The thought of breakfast made me nauseated and it took everything I had to choke it down. Shortly after I would get nausea on and off through the day. DH is actually the one that noticed 1st and convinced me to take a test. Between being back in school and our baby I didn't think anything of it!

bobbyme · April 2012

increased CM. That is what prompted me to test. I hadn't missed my period yet.

keiral · April 2012

Sore breasts and bloating for me.

JulieN0704 · April 2012

I had the worst cramping I've ever had in my life. I did not have that with any of my previous losses to the same extent, this was brutal. The only other consistent symptoms I had until 7 weeks were extreme exhaustion and thirst.

billiencorey · April 2012

my face was breaking out, and i felt like i could sleep for days.

i slept for a whole night and the next day and still felt as if i had not slept,

then i had a sore throat and it only hurt for a hour and went away.

then if i drank anything cold my teeth hurt so so bad, which was what caught me off, because i do not have sensitive teeth, never have

then came my sore boobs and i knew right then that i was pregnant. and i was right

DakotaLynGuinn · April 2012

Sore boobs. They were ridiculously sore. Then came nausea and sickness!

festivusforme · April 2012

Constant gas and fatigue. Thankfully the gas went away.

BrianeMC · April 2012

I thought I had the flu! Come to find out when I was still nauseated a week later it wasn't the flu at all!

Tisharp · April 2012

I guess it would be cramping. I felt exactly like my period was about to start, for the week on either side of my BFP. Then, sore boobs.

jazzyexpo · April 2012

Extreme exhaustion and wanting spicy food all the time

fusionbride · April 2012

tingly breasts and being really hungry.

kristykiwi · April 2012

I cried one night while we were out with DH's friends because I was tired and wanted to go home. Since I don't normally act like a two year old, DH and I both knew something was up and went home and tested positive! :-)

LJ552 · April 2012

Sore breasts and I was SO HUNGRY. I usually have a light breakfast, a small snack mid morning and then lunch around 1:30 or 2. But I was needing a full meal by 11:30 in the morning.
