* lower back feels really achey

* nausea in the morning

these are signs I dont get at this point in the month and I dont get with af.

So far (4 weeks 2days) I'm just more tired but otherwise I don't feel one bit pregnant. With my 1st I had huge sore boobs way before my period was due and I got off the bus like 4 blocks before my stop and wandered into a parking lot without noticing what I was doing and restless legs all the time.

So today I got my first bout of morning sickness. I was walking to work and almost puked on the person standing in front of me at the crosswalk. Yikes! I'm sure it was brought on by my taking my prenatal in the morning, but I used to take my regular vitamin in the morning without feeling this way. I like having a pregnancy symptom, but I really don't want to start vomiting at work. Oh well, we'll see.

Sorry! To avoid what I call "prenatal tummy," I take my prenatal before I go to bed. Not sure if that is the best idea, but I figure it is better than puking it back up!

I had implantation bleeding (never, ever had odd bleeding before), I feel really fat, and I got carsick on a road trip and I NEVER get carsick. 

That was it for me... oh, and AF was about 4 days late when I finally tested. :)

[musicmama08]

Really tired, and yes I sometimes get twinges at the sides of the boobs.  Also, today I was more winded doing normal activities.  Not too many other symptoms yet, but it reassures me to hear that other  people aren't having a ton of symptoms yet.  With my last pregnancy, I had more cramping and twinges, so I'm waiting for those to start.

[Mal85]

Well, I'm moving from early signs to newest symptoms. I keep expecting my boobs to get sore like they did the first time, but this time it's just my nipples that are really tender. My exhaustion has actually been a little better this week, but I forgot to take my vitamins this morning and my energy level plummeted. I also feel a little queasy today, which is new. I was just getting some chicken ready to put on the grill and the smell of the raw chicken almost sent me to the toilet. DH had to take over. 

[reddeermomma]

The breasts were a dead give away for me. It totally felt like milk letdown, and the tingling in the sides.

Oh, and sex was much better than usual... sorry for the TMI ;)

Today I've experienced some light cramping/lower back pain, but I'm two/three weeks along at this point.

.. side note.. I feel bad not knowing all your acronyms :(

[littleliz]

redddeermomma, don't worry... you are not the only one! :)

I'm thinking that if I post here, maybe I'll start my period today.

I'm 2-3 days past when I should have started my period.
I've been feeling sick a lot and have vomited on two occasions where I drank, but not to excess.
My joints feel like they are constantly popping.
My lower back is extremely painful.
I'm very gassy and somewhat constipated.
I was listening to a client yesterday and found I had a real hard time remembering what she said - pregnancy brain?
Lots of fluttery feelings in my belly and definite increase in anxiety.
And I've been craving pickles - I even came up with a theory that it was because they were neutralizing my sour stomach.

Once the store opens, I'm going and buying a test and then I hope af comes 'cuz I'm not ready for this right now.

Nina, I'm sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for. Hope you settle in to the feeling.

[Motivated Mama]

Thanks sommer. I'm being positive, just worried that I haven't had the healthiest first month.

[loveandlight33]

Nina, my first pregnancy was similar. We had just gotten married & were on our honeymoon & I had NO idea I was pregnant. In my mind it wasn't even a possibility. My period was late, so we joked about it but didn't take it seriously. After we got home & my period still hadn't come we found out. I know at least one night in the prior week I had drank nearly an entire bottle of wine over the course of an evening. The rest of the honeymoon wasn't exactly innocent. Vitamins (& folate) weren't even a consideration. Ended up reading what to expect when you're expecting, and *freaked out* that I had unknowingly damaged the baby. When I met with my midwife I told her everything & she thankfully put my mind at ease.

All that to say, I know where you're coming from. at least you know what to do from today forward.

the boob thing is giving it away.I have been completely ignoring any symptoms,the only ones that really have me grabbed and convinced are

* sharp sensations in boobs-it was very strong toay,don't get that normally.

thats my main sign,there are others but thats my definate.

i am due af in one week .I have had mock af's through my other pregnancies so we shall see..

[Abraisme]

Each pregnancy has been slightly different..

DS - I had SORE breasts by 7-8dpo, then I missed my af.

DD - I was craving strange things like tabasco sauce (right out of the bottle), I had slightly sore breasts and random shooting breast pain.  Then I missed af.

This Time - NO breast pain whatsoever!  I thought for sure my nipples or something would get sore since I'm still breastfeeding my 19mo, but so far there's nothing.  I also feel bloated, have a 'full/stretchy' feeling in my abdomen, I've been way more dizzy than normal (I often have dizzy spells un-related to pregnancy) and I've had more random cramps in my feet.

I'd say that the persistent dizziness was my first clue and then I had a very vivid bfp dream, which turned out to be true.

[nj's_mom]

I'm only five weeks, but I've known since before my missed period I was pregnant (though I spend some time in Denial.)

So, my daughter noticed a change in my bm first ... I noticed cramping, dizziness, nausea after overeating, feeling extra sensitive and perhaps over reactive ...

Now, more cramping, sensitivity to smells, and that "under contruction" feeling ....

Yep.

Have you tested again, mama? Hope all is well and you get some answers soon!

[PattyE12]

I am about 5 weeks and 3 days I go to the doctor This Friday the 18 for the blood test. I took 3 First Response Test at 17 dpo. I kinda of knew before taking the test and hinted around to my boyfriend about it than he finally made me test. I have and am experiencing: 

--Very tired, Could never get enough sleep!

--Swollen/Sore/twinges in breast

--Sensitive Nipples

--Darkened Areolas

--Lower and Middle Back Pain

--The "Under-Construction"

--Headaches

--Going to the bathroom every hour

--Gas and Constipation

--Food Cravings

--Metallic taste in mouth

I have not yet gotten morning sickness and am going to try not to. My prenatal vitamins I take a Dinner time after eating so that I do not end up puking it back up.
