Answer 1

Hi there, I knew I was pregnant immediately both times! The very first sign I had both times was that my breasts painfully hurt and felt achy and heavy all the time. Next, I noticed that my clothes started to fit funny. Not so much that I had gained a lot of weight from the onset, I just mean that they hung differently on me. The other things that were apparent within the first few weeks was that I felt tired all of the time and that I was getting hungry more often. I only had the morning sickness the second time around but that didn't hit until about week 8 and stayed with me most of the pregnancy. Smells were incredibly obnoxious for me, hand lotion, perfume,etc. The only thing that I found that cut the nausea was chocolate milk and usually, I am not a milk fan at all.

Good Luck to you and I hope this gave you some insight.

Answer 2

All three times I knew I was even before it was time to take a test. My second pregnancy I was absolutely sure I would be the night we conceived my son. It was our wedding night 8/22/04 and on 8/29/04 I was the happiest person because I knew that I had my first child growing inside me. Three weeks & 5 days later I took a test and it was positive. Even before I took the test I knew I was because I had food aversions, everything stunk bad, food tasted funny, I craved whoppers every day & I couldn't stay awake at work or while driving either. I had to get a ride to work every day for the first trimester. The very first sign that I noticed & that made the light go on was that I noticed a little more back fat when I looked in the mirror. After that the rest of the symptoms just started pouring in one after the other. The morning sickness lasted untill I was 5 months & then started back up again at & months and lasted 'till the end.

My last pregnancy was very different, though. I didn't feel nausea untill I was flying home from Indiana. I felt so sick on the plane!!! I had morning sickness but it only lasted two weeks & that's when I knew something was wrong. The day I first got the morning sickness I took a test & it was positive. The next day I went to the doctor (Navy doctors make you get a test there) and they did a urine test that came out negative. I told them that I was pregnant because I had morning sickness & to do the blood test. They did & it was positive. When I had an ultrasound done at my first visit with the doctor (about 10 weeks along) there wasn't a heartbeat. Unfortunately, about two weeks later I miscarried. That was about 3 1/5 months ago & we've been trying to get pregnant again since.

The last two times I found out I was pregnant I was extremely happy, especially the second time. We were supposed to have a 2% chance of being able to conceive and we did it twice. I just hope it can happen again for us.

My body didn't feel any different for a while. Once I got to about 2 months I got ALL DAY SICKNESS. My emotional state was happy, elated, scared, distraught. You name it, I felt it. Mine was an unplanned pregnancy, (I wasn't supposed to get pregnant), but trust me, if you feel any angst now, it will all disappear when you hold that baby for the first time and here them cry for the first time. Feel however you want to feel if you're pregnant. Your body goes through alot of changes and you are welcomed to feel however you need to. Just remember when you were young and in high school and you got dumped and you thought your life was over. You got over that just like every other woman in the world, but it probably doesn't even phase you today, RIGHT. The same thing will happen with this. Only good can come from a new baby. You will have the delight of knowing you created something so wonderful. Good luck if your pregnant and may you be strong.

Answer 4

Instead of having a period, most women have something called pink show. Sometime after the baby is conceived or close to period time you will normally get a little spot of pink when you wipe. So check when you wipe. Cause that is a sure sign. Other than that having to pee alot, and sometimes having a sweet smell to your urine are the first signs. After a month or two you will have sore breasts, and possible nausea. Also a stronger sensitivity to smell. Good luck...

Answer 5

that's right they don't be attentive to the what the precisely how lots alcohol it takes to reason harm to a toddler even with the undeniable fact that the researchers think of you would be waiting to have 4-6 beverages a week. So your 3 pictures could be terrific even with the undeniable fact that i could particular your concerns to your wellness care service and verify to maintain far flung from alcohol till after this toddler is born. I had a chum that flew to Las Vegas jointly together with her hubby and so as that they drank quite extremely and he or she discovered the week while they obtained returned she was once 7 weeks pregnant. She cried on a similar time as the wellness care service reported her because of the reality that she was once afraid with the ingesting and flying that it could have performed some harm. yet her dr constructive the finished ingredient may well be terrific and it was once. So deal inclusive of your self now and picture blessed which you're pregnant. superb desires!!!

Answer 6

This is my first baby. I really didn't notice anything but my husband kept asking for two weeks if I was pregnant. And then one night we were with some friends and their kid at Chucky Cheez and I downed a whole plate of hot wings by myself. And had ranch dressing all over my face. I went home and picked an argument with my husband where he promptly asked me again if I was pregnant and I broke down crying because I didn't want to be. The next day I went and had implantation bleeding and that night I told my husband I was pretty sure I was pregnant and he was like "duh". The next afternoon I went and got a test and it was positive. I was actually laughing and smiling and have been happy ever since. It's emotional let me tell you.

P.S. That whole "if you got cramps and they don't go away, your pregnant" is a bunch of bullshit. I had severe cramps since I started my period and not even pain medication my Dr. gave me helped.

Answer 7

The night I got pregnant I felt like something was going on down there but it was very slight and didnt hurt. About a week later my stomach started itching and within a couple weeks my boobs started growing and I was always tired. I started getting morning sickness after about a month. You know your body better than anyone else and if you feel things that make you think you are pregnant you might me.

Answer 8

One noticeable sign for me was: being nauseous. I would smell things that I was used to and all of the sudden I would feel like I need to throw up. Another sign increased appetite- I was a finicky eater, I would not eat certain thing so I could maintain my figure- but before I knew I was pregnant I started to like greasy fried food with alot of Hot Sauce. I knew something was wrong.

Answer 9

there were no early signs at first and when my periods were missed. I did a test to see if I was. Your breasts start to change soon after you conceive. Your body starts to make tissue for producing and storing milk. Your breasts may be more tender than usual. Tiny spots around the nipple
area — called tubercles — become more obvious.

Answer 10

I suspected it when I started getting extremely motion sick, even just walking. That and I was finally able to keep food down after a long time of fighting stomache issues in and out of the hospital.
