Early Pregnancy Symptoms-- What were yours?

[Sweet_Southern_Mama]

Okay, so I have pregnancy on the brain lately. I got this idea from another website, but I thought it would be a good idea for us to have our own forum here. This is mostly because I'm sooooo dedicated to HCW & feel disloyal for using another site. That and I just love all you gals here. (& guys but this won't apply to you, sorry)

Anyway, if all the Mommies & confirmed Mommies-to-be could post their earliest pregnancy symptoms I'm sure all of us who are ttc (trying to conceive) or are paranoid would love to hear them.

If possible please note about the time into the pregnancy the symptoms happened, ie DPO (days past ovulation), week or trimester of pregnancy.

Ready, set . . . . . . go!

w/ my first I found out I was pregnant when I was about a week late (3 weeks after conception or 5 week pregnant). probably a week after conception I had a sudden bout of severe nausea/faint feeling - I had to go lay down for awhile(barely was able to walk to the bed). at 6 weeks pregnant I got SICK and stayed sick til I had her. really sore boobs from about 6 weeks, too.

w/ #2..... not many symptoms at all..... I had a false negative PT a couple days after my period was due and tested again about a week later and got the positive.

(baby) bump . . . couldn't resist!

baby 1: My boobs hurt so bad. I could barely ware a bra. It was unbelievable. Then I decided to go tanning and had a nagging feeling to take a test. I didn't even know breast tenderness was part of it. I also had some terrible cramping. It was different from period cramps.

baby 2: No signs but I had the same cramping so I took about 8 tests and they all came out neg until the last one and it was positive, I knew for about 2 weeks before i got the pos. and the doc said i was 8 weeks when i went in.

Baby 3: I had no clue.... We went on our anniversary trip and on our way home I got really sick and my hubby thought it was car sickness, which i get a lot. I honestly thought so too until I got out of the car and could barely walk, I was so dizzy. I knew right then I was preg. hubby thought i was nuts until i took that test.

I'm the crazy one though.....I also knew what day all my kids would be born once i found i was preg. I was right about it with every single one. I would tell the doctors that they were wrong about my due date and that my baby would be here on this day and I was right every time. I now think i'm a little crazy.

Boobs hurt and itched like crazy. That's always my very first symtom.

I just 'didn't feel right'. Was very tired and my period hadn't come. But for me, it moves throughout the month and is never on a set schedule so I didn't think to much about that one. But being as tired as I was, and the fact that my one cat went to lay down on my chest and I just about sent him sailing (didn't, but was close). I knew something was up. Went to the $ store, picked up 3 tests.....took 1, positive, took the 2nd (ya never know, right? lol), positive. We found all this out the week b4 X'mas, and I was about 3 weeks along. Merry X'mas to both families! LOL

I had itchy boobs too!

DS#1-- Missed my period, didn't think much about it until I started throwing up... uh-oh...

DS#2-- Had NO symptoms. Probably because DS#1 was only 4 months old. I found out by accident almost that I was pregnant.

DD-- Again, not a lot of signs early on. I was nauseous (not throwing up), but I thought it was from a crappy eating schedule. Then my boobs all of a sudden got huge... and BAM! Yup... was pregnant. I CRIED for DAYS, lol.

Baby #1: Nausea about 2 months after I got pregnant. I was young and didn't really know what to expect. I took a pregnancy test and it was pos. Thats about all i remember.
Baby #2+#3(twins): Funny thing with these guys was, we tried for months and months and had 1 misscariage and decided we would wait a while, than bam... I was super sick early on with these guys. I lost weight at the beginning because I was so throwing up all the time. Also in the middle of the pregnancy i had bad heartburn. I was going through so many rolaids that they gave me a prescription. Then I also had the big itchy boobs to lol and the super swolen ankles and mood swings and i slept alot and peed alot, but it was kinda hard not to with two of them in there.

With my son 11 years ago, I had no symptons, that I can recall. When I thought I was pregnant in July, I spotted on a Saturday, and on Sunday morning took the PT, and it was came up positive quickly. Almost immedietly, my boobs started hurting, they were so sore. Then I started spotting, brown blood for almost 3 weeks straight. I called the doctor and they had me come in to test my HCG levels. My 1st set of levels were 2300 and 2 days later, the 2nd set was over 10000. The next week, I went in to go over my levels, they did a vaginal US, and found 2 sacs, twins! And whats funny is now I am 13 weeks and 2 days and the only symptom I had were the sore boobs and fatigue. No morning sickness, nothing. And they say your symptoms with twins are double worse, not for me!
