What are the "not-so-common" pregnancy signs?

Question

I know the common ones are nausea, fatigue, swollen breasts, and obviously a missed period. Are there others you can have before a missed period? Lower back pain? Abdominal cramping and gas? The constant urge to urinate, even when you just urinated?

It's too early for a pregnancy test. But I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. It's in God's hands, I know! I just wanted to see if anyone was aware of any other known symptoms.

Blessings!!!

Answer 1

Gas is sometimes a sign, frequent urination but that's usually later in pregnancy, darkening of areola, blue and pink lines under skin on breasts and abdomen, food cravings. All of these symptoms can also be blamed on other things, so the best thing is to just wait until it's time for the test. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Some of the very first signs I had were abdominal cramping (felt almost like my period), dizziness when I stood up, and the smell of tuna (which normally doesn't make me sick to my stomach) made me sick to my stomach.
During my first pregnancy I had to urinate more often than usual. My mother told me that was just my imagination, but I researched it, and it actually is a symptom. It is your body's way of clearing out toxins to make a safer environment for your baby.

Good luck and congrats if you are!

Answer 3

For me it was constant hunger - the feeling I was starving even an hour after having had a full meal. Also, I don't generally suffer from heartburn but during each of my pregnancies from very early on I would suffer from heartburn. More frequent headaches. Lastly, sensitivity to smells. Pretty much any strong odor would turn my stomach. You'll know soon enough! Best of luck to you!

i used to put lawreys season salt on my salad every night. one night as i took the first bite i threw up because of the smell and taste . my girlfriend came over the next day commented on the fact i wasn't wearing a bra. i was however and she said my boobs looked huge. that day went to the drs. and found out i was pregnant. hadn't even missed a period yet and i was on the pill. during the next nine months i suddenly craved to try sushi, something i always thought would be gross.
your taste buds change, you urinate ALOT, emotions change.
its never to early to take a test these days. blood tests are accurate in early early pregnancys. good luck.
17 years later i still cannot eat lawreys seasoned salt

Answer 5

I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth for about a week before I found out I was pregnant. Also I was dizzy alot (could have been low blood sugar with the dizziness because I rarely get a lunch break.) Also I had a slight headache.

Answer 6

One of the first tell tale signs that I was pregnant was gagging when i brushed my teeth...didn't even need a pregnancy test when that happened! I also would get daily headaches nothing major just really annoying ones that don't really seem to go away. Good luck!!

Answer 7

None of those are actually symptoms of pregnancy...wait until you've missed a period, then get a blood test...good luck!

Answer 8

Sounds to me like you have a kidney infection. Usually I give very sarcastic answers, but you seem really nice, so I want to tell you, seriously, those are not signs of pregnancy. You should really go to a doctor.

Answer 9

I was REALLY tired all the time before I learned I was pregnant. And I was really dizzy, almost like I had vertigo. I also had the feeling like I was always hungry, and then after I ate, I felt like I was going to be sick. Good luck!!

Answer 10

I really had no symptoms before I found out. The best thing I can tell you is that your nipples are sensitive. That was probably my first sign.
