expirienced mothers please?

Question

how long does it usually take to start noticing pregnancy symptoms? what does being pregnant feel like? do you spot around your period time?....im a little concerned thankyou to all that answer

Answer 1

noticing pregnancy symptoms? I'm assuming you mean besides a missed or spotty period?
Sometimes spotting occurs during implantation of the egg into the uterus.
I didn't "feel" pregnant until around 6 weeks when I started to get morning sickness, and a sore breasts. aside from that I didn't feel any different until the baby started moving around

Answer 2

Some say they notice changes from time of conception but generally changes are not notice til you are about 3 months. Usually the first symptoms after you have missed your period and know that you are pregnant are morning sickness, frequent urination, tenderness of the breast, enlarged breast, and weight gain. It is a wonderful experience for those who don't have any complication--there is something spiritual about feeling a little human moving around inside of you. It can also be scary(especially if it is your first-- especially when it comes to delivery), and at the end it gets very uncomfortable. Usually spotting during pregnancy is a sign of miscarriage or complications but it can happen for no reason at all. Some women may even have a full period from time to time during pregnancy. If you are pregnant a feel something is wrong you should contact your doctor immediately. Child birth is a beautiful thing especially when you hold your child for the very first time. There is no other experience like it. Although delivery can be painful, there are medications such an an epidural that eases the pain greatly. Once you hold your child, its worth every labor pain and uncomfortable moment. Good luck. Are you pregnant? There is really not one answer but just generalized answer because truely every pregnancy is different.

Answer 3

Everyone first pregnancy is different. Best way to find out if you are pregnant is to do a over the counter test ,or go to your doctor and have a test ran. Some women do spot at the start of the pregnancy but that should go away . If it does not you do need to go see a doctor.
Symptom's can be sore boobs that are hard and growing. Being sick to your stomach which can happen any time of the day . Even though it is called morning sickness. Craving for food. Can't forget the missing period which is systom as well. For some women mood swing and being very emotional happens very quick after getting pregnant.
For more info.. you can do a yahoo search on pregnancy and read all about the whole life changing process.

Answer 4

If you're at your period time, you can take a test and expect reliable results. If you get a negative result but your period still doesn't start, wait another week and take a test again. If there's still no positive result and no period, see a doctor.

Symptoms vary from woman to woman and can mean almost anything. The symptoms of PMS are very close to pregnancy symptoms, as are the symptoms of illnesses like stomach viruses and the flu. Besides which, if you're worried about pregnancy, you can trick your body into displaying the symptoms. For all of these reasons, you can't diagnose a pregnancy from symptoms alone. If your period is late, just take a test. The peace of mind is worth more than the price of the test, which isn't that much. If you absolutely can't afford a pregnancy test, go to Planned Parenthood or another public health clinic.

Answer 5

Some women never have any symptoms and some suffer from the beginning to end. That will vary from woman to woman and from pregnancy to pregnancy. Sorry that's not more helpful but you really could start to feel some symptoms by 2 weeks but it's ok if you don't feel anything.
Being pregnant doesn't have a feeling really until you are bigger, the 2nd trimester is when you really start to have the 'feelings' that go with pregnancy.
You may spot during your first couple of months, light and pinkish is ok and only your first period after conception would you spot during period time. Some women have bled believing it's their period and did not know they were pregnant (me included) but the bleeding stops and is usually quite a bit lighter than a regular period.

Answer 6

There is no one answer to this. I have been pregnant 4 times and it was different each time.With the 2nd one I spotted until the 5th month.
Some women say they feel better when pregnant than any other time, I personally was very sick with nausea all through my pregnancies. Literally from the first week.
The next most noticeable thing for me was the mood swings that started almost as soon as I conceived. Laugh one minute, cry the next.
If possible get tested and if positive get
early medical care.
Being pregnant is the most powerful feeling in the world, you actually hold another life within your body. Good luck.

Answer 7

Pregnancy symptoms for alot of women can be the same as PMS symptoms. Nausea, headache, breast tenderness, fatiuge, ect.....Some women experiance cramping, like they are getting their period, while others have no cramps. Just as some women do spot a little in early pregnancy, and others will never see any pink or red. If you spot, that is normal. It is not normal when the spotting turns to heavy bleeding with bad cramps. If this happens, you need to go to the doctor asap. Remember, every woman is different and every pregnancy is different.

If you think you are Pregnant, I would suggest a First Response. That pregnancy test can detect the lowest amount of HCG (the pregnancy hormone) in a womans body, and you can take it 4 days before your missed period. If you get a negitive wait a few days and retest, this is because the HCG levels double every 48 hours resulting in a positive pregnancy test. GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Answer 8

for me I was extremely tired, not just tired but exhausted, my breasts felt tender and swollen, not normal pms tender, and I just felt different its hard to describe. I noticed these symptoms about a week b4 my period, when my period was only 1 day late I just knew there were no doubts in my mind. Being pregnant in the begining is hard because you're tired, most get sick, and so very emotional, but once you get farther along things get better and you start to feel the baby move, its a great feeling, there's nothing like it. It kind gets hard in the end though, cause its hard to carry the extra weight.

About spotting, I don't think it's that common, they say you can have implantation bleeding around the time of your period but again I don't believe its that common.

Answer 9

Well you can experience some symptoms right away, such as fatigue. I couldn't stay awake before I found out I have pregnant with my daughter. I went to the washroom a lot due to the swelling of the uterus, my breast hurt, and I was like the bottomless pit. I couldn't stop eatting. I never bleed with my two health pregnancies, though a lot of women do experience implantation bleeding. A very light bleeding that may only last a couple days, and can be mistaken for a period.

Answer 10

Some people have intuition...some don't have any symptoms. It all depends, since we're all unique. Both my pregnancies were very different from each other. However, typical symptoms for both never really appeared until after the 2nd month. And, I had already had a positive pregnancy test by that time.

I'd say, keep testing every 2 days until you either get a positive or get your period. If you get neither, I'd check with your OBGYN.
