What were some of your earliest pregnancy symptoms??

Hi girls! So I am not asking this to try to analyze for gender or anything b/c I know that is different for everyone. I am just really curious b/c I am finding out that LITERALLY EVERY pregnancy that I have had is different!! With my daughter, I was not really sick, occassional nausea but never threw up. I was SOOOOOO hungry all the time and literally couldn't stop eating, before I even knew I was pregnant but it never occurred to me that I could be pregnant until AF was late. Looking back, I did have the sore breasts but I associated that with AF coming. With my son, I knew 5 days before AF was even supposed to come. It was just a gut feeling - we weren't trying but we weren't preventing and I started feeling queasy and sure enough, the test was positive 5 days beforehand. I wasn't really as hungry w/ him but BOY WAS I SICK!! Like pulling off the side of the road to vomit sick!!

The last 2 pregnancies that ended in losses, I knew pretty early on that I was preggo but with the 1st loss, it felt off from the start and with the second one, I was pretty queasy again.

This time, VERY SORE breasts, like to the point that water in the shower is uncomfortable. Don't really look any different though as far as size or anything (sorry tmi). I just started getting more queasy yesterday and it got even worse this morning. I am SUPER tired all the time too. And I don't remember honestly being so moody as I am right now. The littlest things make me want to cry.

So, again, not looking to analyze for gender or anything but I am just really curious what others are going through or went through.

With my first son I had every symptom in the book but had no idea I was pregnant- lol! I woke up at least 3 times a night to pee for days, I had sore breasts, all I wanted to do was eat and omg, the fatigue! I was like "I'm pretty sure I got 10 hours of sleep??!" Haha I just kept ignoring the symptoms until my friend urged me to take a test a viola! I was pregnant! My morning sickness was bad with him but not as bad with my second DS!

With my second, I found out 2 days before my expected AF. All I had with him in the beginning were tingling breasts. Not so much "sore" just a tingling feeling every now and then. About 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant with him I started to pray to the porcelain god....every...freaking...morning..until 25 weeks! Ugh that MS was terrible!!

I also had very different pregnancies with seemingly no relation to gender.

With my first son I didn't realize I was pregnant for awhile but I had horrible headaches almost every single day and was tired. Then after a few weeks I had horrible morning sickness and would throw up every single day first thing but it got better as the day progressed. My boobs were sensitive but not till later on.

Second son - I figured out how to better manage morning sickness by eating regularly and sucking on sour candy, and had very little issues with him. Easiest pregnancy

Third son - my first sign was sore BB's almost right away. Very gassy and bloated from the earliest days I looked like I was 3 months pg within a week. Horrible migraines for the entire first trimester. I had all day sickness with him and though I did know how to manage it and never threw up, it was pretty rough and on the whole much worse than with my first two. I was also super tired with him and very, very, very bitchy. Worst pregnancy

4th son - also had sore BB's and gassiness/bloating/showing almost right away but it still took me awhile to realize I was pregnant because I got pg from my first ovulation while breastfeeding and then I lost the twin which seemed like AF so I really didn't realize until about 6 weeks when I took another pg test. I again had all-day sickness and also for some reason horrible problems with having to #2 constantly (6-8 times a day) so I was in a bad way. Second worst pregnancy

(with these first 4 pregnancies I did not get morning sickness till 5-6 week mark)

Chemical - I was super tired, headaches and gassy/bloated right away and knew something was up but again I did not get AF and just got pg from first egg while BF so wasn't sure. Didn't have a way to buy a test because we were at my inlaws house. Never had sore BB's so maybe my body knew. Had a horrible period and tiredness cleared up like magic and knew then for sure that pg had ended.

DD - Did not expect to conceive that month and only took pg test because fortune cookie told me to LOL. Sore BB's while breastfeeding DS 4 and a bit tired but really I felt pretty good and had very little bloating and did not have much hope for the pregnancy. Very little nausea and while I did have to poo a lot like with DS 4, it wasn't as draining. This was my least amount of nausea in any pregnancy and overall was a quite easy pregnancy and I didn't show till I was quite far along, not even my adult sons knew until I was 18 weeks and then both of them asked jokingly, independently of the other, if I was pg. I did get a UTI which I had never gotten before but I think that had more to do with just having had 5 kids. The one thing that really did seem different with her was that with all the boys, I would have nausea that was better when I ate, with her it was the opposite, I would feel ok when I didn't eat and then have a bad stomachache after eating.

This is my 5th pregnancy too Atomic! I didn't really show w/ my daughter until like 23-24 weeks. And even then, people didn't believe that I was as pregnant as I was - I looked like I swallowed a basketball lol! I was a little bigger w/ my son but still the same way, a basketball. He was almost a pound bigger!

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't even know what to guess for gender lol! I know that I have felt queasy every time but this time, it seems pretty bad but at the same time I am SOOO hungry all the time lol! I am just not worrying about the gender piece of it yet. I have my blood test in a few weeks (2/17) so I should know in a month or so about gender. Right now, I am actually happy that I am having symptoms b/c w/ the 1st loss, the symptoms were never super obvious and then went away and w/ the second loss, the symptoms were fading around this time. Both losses were around 7-8 weeks and I started having issues around 6 weeks both times so I am considering this a major milestone that I am 6 weeks and getting MORE symptoms! I am happy about it even if I feel miserable!

Well this is my 3rd pregnancy and with my first 2 I had NO symptoms whatsoever!!! At all!!! I had 2 boys lol
With this one, I am tired, I am always hungry, I have to pee more frequent, I am wanting to eat things like cheese on toast that I haven't had in 10+ years lol. I am also nauseated!!! No vomit but a lot of queasiness and bloating!!!!!

With DD1, I knew early on because we were trying. I got pregnant really quick - on the 2nd month of trying. I was so nauseous at night time, but didn't throw up. I would just go to sleep around 6-7pm, and would wake up feeling better. I was also really tired all of the time, esp in the first trimester.

With this pregnancy (DD2), I also knew early because we had been trying. It took about 14 months to conceive this one. I felt randomly queasy, but not as bad as with DD1, and it wasn't just at night. I am definitely more tired this time around, but probably because I am chasing after a 3 year old now. :) Also, with this one I am hungry ALL the time... like I usually get up around 4-5am and need to eat or I can't fall back asleep... I did not have that with DD1.

Mine were all the same for all 4 of my kids...I had some spotting around my period (very little) sore boobs and needed to pee constantly and by 6 weeks I didn't focus on any other symptoms because I was too busy being tired and vomiting which lasted all the way up to when they popped out :/ Ohh and tingly nipples so much so it annoyed me and it was hard to wear a bra!

All my boys I was always late and didn't start feeling sick until I had already missed my period. With this one I was feeling sick a week before af was due so I took a test and got a bfp not really expecting to see a positive cuz we had only dtd twice in a night that was 3 days before O and one day after and I still had a week before af was even supppose to show.. So I was completely shocked when I looked and it was positive!

Mine have all been a bit different too.

My first was a big surprise. My first "symptom" was a premonition that I might be pregnant. I wasn't more than a week past ovulation (looking back, i has no clue at the time and dismissed it) when I felt it suddenly. I was super tired a week later (like fall asleep at work tired) and took a test. Positive. The back-acne, insomnia, and throwing up started a few weeks later. Morning sickness was all-day and rough until about 15 weeks. But the insomnia from weeks 6-25 was the part that really killed me.

Second pregnancy was a missed miscarriage that we lost sometime around week 9: First symptom was throwing up when brushing my teeth. I mostly had nausea this time, but it was constant. Very little actual sickness. I was also particular anxious in that pregnancy, but I don't think it was related to the fact we lost it.

I had multiple early miscarriages at this point, but don't remember much about the early feelings.

My second living child started with sore boobs. It was the tip-off to test. I got super motion sick with him. The nausea and sickness wasn't bad unless I was riding in a car or watching action TV. Then I threw up near-constantly (which was unfortunate, since we had to go to a specialist after finding a clotting disorder and he was over 2 hours away. We went once a week!). I also had bad insomnia in his pregnancy.

My third was heartburn. Oh goodness, I didn't even know what hit me. It was sudden and strong. It persisted all through the pregnancy. I also got a very keen sense of smell (for the first time) and had a "run over by a bus" look about me. I looked pretty good in all of the other pregnancies. Nausea was pretty mild. No sleep issues.

Ugh the nausea has just been so bad the last 2 days!! And my boobs are SOOOOO sore!! It is getting to the point that a bra is uncomfortable and I am FAR from large chested!!

With all three pregnancies I was very fortunate and blessed to have conceived our first month trying and pretty much knew right away. Of course, that doesn't mean that I didn't second guess myself and the 2ww was still horrible!

With DS1 the next morning I was standing in my boss's office meeting with her and drinking coffee. I thought to myself "wow either my husband made the coffee really strong today or we succeeded. The first trimester was full of extreme exhaustion and ravaging hunger! Did not get morning sickness at all, complete opposite. I had to eat every hour or so (something heavy and filling) or I'd get really shaky and weak and feel like my stomach was going to eat itself. I would sometimes hide my face behind my computer at work to close my eyes 'for just a few seconds' because I was so tired. I only gained weight in belly and had a basketball. Other than that, pretty easy pregnancy. I didn't see what the hype was about. My mood or emotions didn't change.

DS2 - I felt pregnant right away but didn't let myself believe we could get so lucky so fast again. The fatigue and hunger was there again, and for the most part things were the same, carried a basketball in front of me, but I carried a little lower. A couple vague differences but don't really remember. I had a very active 15 mo old boy at the time, and was still working. I had a short fuse!

#3 - I felt like I knew the minute sperm met egg lol! I had crazy ovulation symptoms (praying just one egg was released) and the next morning I woke up with this sense of peace and calmness like God was telling me....Thank you for finally listening to Me and following My plan!! :) Then...I quickly became very cold, and dizzy. I could not warm up and was always afraid I would faint. Around 5 DPO I got a gush of leukorrhea CM (sorry TMI) and have had a lot ever since. With first two it increased but not until about 6-7 months. This pregnancy is all over the place. Symptoms can change day to day or even hour to hour. One minute I feel good, hardly any symptoms and have more energy, the next I feel like I got hit by a bus. I think the dizziness and coldness is letting up a bit, not all day like before. I'm tired but in a different way. Sometimes I am really hungry, others not so much...though I did have one day where I was starving and literally ate all day. I don't know if I have a very slight case of morning sickness? I always pictured it like stomach flu...but my gag reflex is just a little more sensitive. A couple times brushing my teeth almost started dry heaving, and I haven't been taking my allergy meds or rinsing nasals so I sometimes gag on the mucus in throat (sorry TMI again and so gross)! It seems like I am getting fat already, even in butt and thighs. I feel like I'm showing already but there's no way my uterus is already under my belly button at 9 weeks...it's probably bowels and my diastasis.

I had implantation bleeding with all 3, and with #2 & #3 I had spotting at the time AF was due. I didn't get sore boobs with any, they just grow. I had frequent urination with all 3, starting within a few DPO.

I hate pregnancy symptoms!! I am trying so hard not to compare or think about gender but I can't help but analyze every symptom. Sorry - this is longer than I thought :oops:
