Pregnancy Symptoms....?

LuvMyGrl22 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-14-2008, 06:15 AM

I thought it would be neat to compile a list of everyone's pre/pregnancy symptoms so the first time mommy's will know what to look for.

First Pregnancy
1.) Sensitive Boobs
2.) Morning/Noon/Night Morning Sickness
3.) Dizziness
4.) Metallic taste in mouth

Subsequent Pregnancies
1.) Sensitive Boobs
2.) Morning/Noon/Night Morning Sickness
3.) Metallic taste in mouth
4.) The "gut instict" that I was pregnant
5.) Vivid baby dreams (I keep having them about TWINS this time)

So far, the only indication that I "might" be pregnant is a touch of nausea and baby dreams. 9 more days to go before I test... or until AF shows.

Oh, another good indicator is Implantation bleeding. I've noticed it in all of my other pregnancies. Typically it happens a week after ovulation but can take up to 12 days. So, that is when you would expect to see some light spotting if it were going to occur. Although not every woman has implantation bleeding.

hmmm... With my dd I had VERY noticable dark blue veins in my 2ww. The m/s didn't kick in until after 7 weeks, so LACK of m/s is also a symptom! LOL Wicked gag reflex when I brushed my teeth, bloody nose, and that pulling cramping sensation down deep behind my pubic bone.

The heartburn didn't kick in until later and I had more m/s in the last two months of my pregnancy than the first two.

Kate was unplanned, but I still found out before AF was due. The only signs I had were slightly sore BBs when running, a lack of spotting a few days before AF, and just a general feeling that AF wasn't on the way.

With Jack, I had really early m/s and was extremely sensitive to smells even when I was still getting BFNs. I also remember early AF-like cramps (with Kate that didn't happen until after my BFP).

With my third pg that was also unplanned and that ended in a m/c at under 5wks, I just had a general suspicion and didn't feel like AF was on the way. I had bit of a cold and tested just to be assured that I could take NyQuil. Was pretty shocked by that second line!

With dd I tested because I had unexplained anxiety about the next day... over the top, I was in tears for nothing. I also had twingy feelings in my lower abdomen, but other than that not many early symptoms.

With my DD I noticed very tender, no extremely sore BB`s. Other than that the real tough symptoms did not hit until much later. I did not experience morning sickness until 12 weeks. I thought I was going to get away with having none but when it started I pretty much had it until delivery.

With my angel baby I noticed sore BB`s and a very increased sense of smell.

With my first baby, I had the following during 2WW:

1) waking up about two hours earlier than I'd usually wake up and not being able to go back to sleep,
2) waking up hungry,
3) increased appetite in general,
4) a little more tired than usual, &
5) sore breasts.

With my second baby, I had the following during 2WW:

1) "prego bathroom syndrome" -- having to empty my bladder any time it was holding even an ounce or so,
2) sore breasts,
3) baby dreams,
4) extreme irritability, &
5) being more tired than usual (though I chalked this up to the fact it was also the week before Christmas, haha!).

With my first pregnancy the only indication was how tired I was no matter how much sleep I got. After about 5 weeks I started getting pretty wicked cramps that lasted about 2 weeks, which of course had me running to the bathroom looking for AF.

With my second pregnancy I had very sore and heavy breasts.

This pregnancy, very sore and heavy breasts, nausea, tons of creamy CM which is starting to go away already and being tired (though I'm sick so the tiredness might be related to that.)

He told me after the 1st to keep trying tests IM JUST PLAIN SHOCKED !!! I got off Birth control right before my last period so that I can have things back in wack by sept my honey and I are getting married then!!!! we have have been using condoms EVERY SINGLE TIME WE HAVE SEX!!!! once we came across a box of trojens ordered offline that leaked but that was months ago and we have trown that box away ...but I guess it is possible to have a suprise with condoms too!! has anyone's Dr ever made a mistake like that?

The only really early pregnancy symptom I ever had was abdominal cramping, like AF should be here.

At around 5-6 weeks, sore nipples and boobs

Other than that, I would get nausea, and horrible heartburn, at around 6-7 weeks.

But the only EARLY EARLY one, is cramping

lovineachday · #12 (**permalink**) 06-07-2008, 07:36 AM

My earliest symptoms (before I get a BFP) are cramping, gas and usually my appetite decreases a bit (instead of increases, which is typical for my PMS). I usually dream more, too.

moonation · #13 (**permalink**) 06-07-2008, 09:28 AM

I've noticed that my appetite decreases and I get gassy, too. Well, at least this time I did. I don't remember it any other time.

I'm starting to feel a bit more of that queasy carsick feeling as the days go by. We were in the car for a bit this morning and I had to snack on some crackers to keep from getting sick.

I've been peeing more and I'm hungrier. And I am feeling a little more tired in the evenings.

moonation · #15 (**permalink**) 06-07-2008, 09:35 AM

Well...my appetite was decreaed until my husband went and bought a bunch of brownies and a peach pie.

YUM!!!

We do all of our unhealthy eating on the weekends, so I'm hoping to get some really yummy stuff today. I got this cookie a couple weeks ago at the bakery that was two chocolate chip cookies with white icing/cream in the middle, and then the entire thing had been half-dipped in chocolate. It was SO freakin' good. I want another one but every time I go they don't have any

moonation · #17 (**permalink**) 06-07-2008, 09:39 AM

OH Mary Beth why'd you have to just do that to me!! YUM!!!!!!!

I'm generally REALLY anal about what I eat, I lost 50 pounds after I had my son and I'm starting this pregnancy out weighing 145 and in a size 6 (smaller than I've EVER been, I'm 5'10) but I do all my junk eating on the weekends, too....maybe I should get out there and do some walking!
