Early Signs

Hi N., For me, my breast where sore and my nipples felt hard. So when I finally took the test it was no surprise to find out I was pregnant. Good Luck to you!!!

Hunger!!! Sore breasts and immediately I was hungry :) I was finishing my husbands food, before he was done! And I am not a big eater...

keep taking your temp. if it stays elevated, you're good to go! (that's how i knew both times...it will tell you before a test will tell you!).

Hi N., This is my second pregnancy and I was sort of taken off guard both times. I didn't feel how I thought I would feel pregnant. First time the most stand out symptom was fatigue for me. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I'd fall asleep on the couch after dinner. I'd fall asleep in the car, on the train into work, etc. I said that I felt like someone unplugged me. That was my first. As the pregancy went on,in the early days, I was gassy (not fun), really hungry and urgently, very tender breasts and I retained fluids. This time I've just been tired so far, and a little queasy...oh, and I had implantation spotting...oh, and in both cases my hair stopped coming out in the shower, got thick, smooth and shiney feeling. In both cases my temps did NOT look like the charts said it would/should. Honestly, I'm not sure there really is any way "to tell." Because it is pregnancy or PMS. My husband actually could tell both times. He thought I looked different. Softer around the edges.

Well N... It sounds to me! The sore breasts were my indication. You can take an at home pregnancy test. One of them detects it very early.

Good Luck. I hope you are!

it was in early april, 2007 when my coworker noticed i was a little thicker in the middle (hereditary!). and i was extremely nauseous in our car after any meal for like a week. april 14th of last year is when i took the test and it came out positive!

My first clue with # 2 and # 3 was my sense of smell...my husband always kidded me by saying I could smell a mouse fart! With #1 - I had no clue...I think I took 5 tests before I believed it could be true!

Hi N.,

One big indicator was that I could no longer enjoy the taste of Coffee!!! Another was that I had gotten a super hero sense of smell which was a bad thing as the summer months approached and grilling meat smells made me super sick. My poor husband did not get meat cooked for the first 16 weeks or so. Also I believe that on the day of implantation I knew as my breast got hot and tingled and they never did that ever before and never again since and I thought that it was odd, but we were trying and counted the days and it made sense to me. Hope you have good news soon!!! Keep us posted.

feeling light-headed or faint....good luck...

Though I loved taking steaming hot showers, the heat made me feel faint. Also, I was unable to stay awake during most car/train rides. Good luck!

I normally have a bladder of steel and when I got pregnant, I noticed almost immediately that I had to go more often. That was my big clue. :) HTH

sore boobs and i was IMMEDIATELY disgusted by raw meat! :)

My boobs hurt if the wind blew on them too hard. LOL!

I had a really upset stomach for a few days, but that was about it. GOOD LUCK!

Hi N., Sounds good. I hope you are. Stay calm and wait it out. Let us know. Lots of happiness, Grandma Mary

Bloated and tired, very tired..........good luck. When you are trying it is such a feeling of accomplishment when you finally are!!!

Before I knew I was pregnant with my first I was soooo tired that I took naps after I got home from work. I also got really hungry and had to eat my lunch early everyday. And I had to pee all the time. I knew I was pregnant with my second before I took the pregnancy test because of the same symptoms.

Good luck!

I remember having extreme fatigue, so much so that I had to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon, and I never slept during the day.

For me it was clumsiness.
I began to drop everything I touched both times I was pregnant and I got those awful headaches during the first trimester.(both times)
