First Signs of Being Pregnant

[The Tiggster]

The obvious sign is missing your period, but are there other things that happen before then to tell you you're pregnant? i.e. sore breasts, headaches. Or is it too early for other signs?

The first sign that I was pregnant was that I felt really tired - much more tired than usual. I also had tender sinuses. I didn't realise that this was a particular sign for me until I became pregnant for the second time 8 years later! I was leaning over the sink washing my face and splashing the water up to my skin. It felt really tender when the water hit my sinus area! I suddenly remembered when I last felt this sensation. True enough, pregnant I was and now have a lovely little boy of 13 months.

One friend suddenly became constipated before she missed her period and one couldn't stop weeing!!

Good luck!

Going off certain foods, feeling nauseous, having a funny taste in your mouth, feeling emotional etc.

Although missing your period is 'one' of the signs of being pregnant, it doesn't always happen that way. In certain cases, some women still have periods for a few months into their pregnancy & don't even realise they are pregnant. However, overwhelming tiredness & sore breasts were the first signs of my two pregnancies.

I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but my sense of smell went ballistic.  I could smell someone smoking in traffic four or five cars away with all the windows up.  Couldn't walk anywhere near a butcher or parts of the grocery that had raw food without gagging.

That and I had to have grapefruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  And a nap afterward!
