early signs of pregnancy?

[xPinkAngelx]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what your early signs of pregnancy were, apart from 'being late'. did you get tender breasts, morning sickness, if so when did this start??

Thanks x

Tingling breasts, a funny sort of feeling and somehow just knowing that something was different? Sickness started at about 6 weeks.

oldmegan....me too. My breasts felt full, not painful and I felt irritable and tired associated with going to pass water more frequently.Somehow, I just felt "pregnant"

All this started when I had missed my period and had some "spotting" instead of my usual period.

Best of luck Pink

i knew all this pregnancy talk would get to you eventually, sqad, and how could you tell the you were irritable?? lol

sickness doesnt usually start until after a period is late, often not til 6+ weeks.

the tender breasts can also be a premenstrual symptom so not a sign of pregnancy as such.

a week before i found out i was pregnant i felt very very tired, my breasts aren't tender but niples are. have had no sickness yet,. been to doctoers and she thinks i m about 6weeks gone, i'd say im more like 4 (i know i dint have sex around 6 weeks ago) i spose what im wondering is, is this normal, or does evereyone not get all the same symptons/signs?.. x

i seem to be very hungry all the time too, would this be to do with the pregnancy already or am i just being greedy?!

dates are taken from the first day of last period.

all pregnancies are different. My first pregnancy i didnt get sore breasts, morning sickness or any bad symptoms apart from tiredness.

it was all different with my second.

congratulations btw, i dont know if youd find this ivillage board of interest, everyone on there is pregnant and due same time as you. http://messageboards.ivillage.co.uk/iv-ukpbmar 2010

of course, there are also loads of helpful people on AB too.

eating little and often can help keep blood sugars at good level and helps prevent the nausea at times too.
