Early pregnancy signs?

Question

I know for me it is entirely to early to be looking for signs. My period isn't susposed to start until the 25. I ovulated this past weekend, and have been trying for 5 months now. I am hoping to be pregnant this time around. I was wondering if any of you could share some of your early prenancy signs with me. I know every pregnancy is different. I already am a mom of one, he is almost 3 now... i feel that i have forgotten what is it like.

Pregnancy Signs

There are a few common symptoms that let you know that you are pregnant.

They are:

*
Missed period - If you have a regular 28/29 day cycle, then being late or missing a period is a pretty good sign that you may be pregnant however there are other factors that can delay periods see Could I be pregnant? so its usually better to look for more than one sign of pregnancy than just delayed period. If you have a more irregular cycle, or have just come off the Pill or other hormonal contraception, then a late period may NOT be an indication that you are pregnant.

*
Nausea or morning sickness - can occur not just in the morning but all day long. It can be as severe as throwing up or just feeling off your food. Alot of women find that their sense of smell is heightened during pregnancy, and smelling food cooking can make you feel sick. You may also find that you are absolutely starving but the thought of actually eating food is revolting or alternatively finding something that you feel like eating is very difficult.

Nausea or morning sickness generally wears off at the 12 /13 week point. Not all women feel nauseous and different prganancies can produce different symptoms.

*
Frequent urination - the desire to pee frequently is a pretty good sign of pregnancy and can start very early.

*
Sore Breasts - are another sign of pregnancy but some women experience sore breasts before bleeding. Increase in breast size, soreness and the darkening of the nipple area are key.

*
Fatigue - it takes ALOT of energy to grow a baby, so you may feel really tired during pregnancy. Take it as a hint and rest up, cause once that beautiful baby arrives regular sleep can be a thing of the past for quite some time.

*
Mood Swings and raging hormones - the sudden changes in hormone activity as your body adjusts to its new pregnant state can cause emotionality and mood swings. Again this can be pre-menstrual, but if it continues and your period just doesn't come, then it could be a sign.

*
Spotting - A woman may spot (lightly bleed) 9-10 days after fertilisation. It is not a normal period and it is perfectly normal. However, once it is done and you are confident you are pregnant, you should not spot anymore. If you do bleed at all during pregnancy see your doctor.

So these are the most common signs of pregnancy, some of them can be confused with PMS so the more you have the better. If you think you may be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test or see your doctor and find out for sure. Then, take good care of yourself.

Hon I would say with me, as a mom of four, all under the age of 5, each was different. But here are some of the earliest symptoms from my first hand experience;

Sick at my tummy

Certain odors or smells made me sick

light headness and dizzy/fainting feeling
(lack of iron)

tiredness

extra irritability

kind of mellowed out

eating/drinking made me sick

driving would make me sick

I think I just had issues...hope this helps you a little...Good luck from a Mom of 4

Answer 4

Some of the most common pregnancy symptoms:

1. Swollen and tender breasts
Soreness or tingling in breasts is one of pregnancy?s most common symptoms.
2. Darkening areolas
For many women, hormones can cause the areolas, the circles around nipples, to widen and darken during pregnancy.
3. Spotting
About five to 10 days after conception, some women notice light spotting when the embryo implants in the uterus.
4. Urinary frequency or constipation
When you?re pregnant, your uterus presses directly on the bladder leading to more frequent urination.
5. Fatigue
Many women feel very tired early in pregnancy (it takes lots of energy to create a baby!).
6. Nausea
Nausea is one of the most common side effects of pregnancy.
7. Smell Sensitivity
No, the smells on the bus are not in your head: Many women have a heightened sense of smell during pregnancy.
8. Elevated basal temperature
If you?ve been tracking your basal temperature, a positive sign of pregnancy is an increase of about one degree that lasts for more than two weeks after the ?dip? in temperature that indicates ovulation.
9. Missing period
The most obvious indicator of pregnancy is a missed period, but a missed period doesn?t always mean a baby is on the way.
10. Unusual hunger or cravings
Pregnant bodies are working hard to grow that baby, and need about 300 extra calories a day.
11. Headaches
The frequency of migraine headaches can increase with pregnancy.
12. Mood swings
Many women experience emotional mood swings throughout pregnancy.
13. Feeling faint or dizzy
Shifting hormones, combined with the heart beating faster to pump more blood through the body can cause blood pressure to gradually decrease early in pregnancy.
14. Metallic taste in your mouth
Some women complain of an odd ?metallic? taste in their mouths during pregnancy.
15. Vivid dreams
Dreams during pregnancy often intensify. So if your dreamin? has become more dramatic this could be a symptom you?re expecting.
