Let's see what our top five early pregnancy symptoms are

theOceanicSix · 07-07-2009, 10:48 PM

I'm interested to know how many pregnant women get certain symptoms. If you're pregnant or have been pregnant (even if you miscarried), what were your early symptoms?
I'll start: (all of these were before 6 weeks, which is when I got REALLY nauseous and exhausted all the time)

- ready for bed earlier than usual at night
- back ache
- yeast infection (I never get them, so I had a feeling it was a good sign)

(by the way, I ended up miscarrying)

Now you go!

UPDATED so far:

#1 - exhaustion
#2 - sore boobs
#3 & #4 (tie) - cramping/heartburn
#5 - bloated
#6 - nausea
#7+ (all tied) - back ache
yeast infection
forgetfulness
less emotional
frequent urination
indigestion
more emotional
headaches
hot

~Heartburn!!! Every night from the beginning right through the end!
~Exhausted
~Charley Horses-I'd never had one before and haven't had one since
~Wicked backaches-I actually pulled a muscle in my back the day of my baby shower and ended up in the ER that night
~I also had the infamous "preggy brain"-you know where you forget absolutely everything!

But I can't wait to do it again!!

I had the heartburn, exhaustion and preggy brain from the beginning. I didn't get the charley horse until a couple months in and the back aches were towards the end.

My top 5
1) first thing that really gave it away for me was getting very tired very easily. The smallest of things just wore me out!!
2) cramping. I had cramping that started 2 days before my IUI (the day I triggered.) The day of my IUI, the cramping was at its worst. I didn't get out of bed for 2 days.
3) the "girls.' They got sore very quickly. And I knew they were growing!
4) I wasn't at *****y around the time when AF was suppose to arrive as I normally would be.
5) I knew that this cycle would be a bust. I just knew it would. Everything that could go wrong (or so I thought!) did. As the 2ww went on, something just clicked. I woke up one day and out of the blue thought to myself ," Take the test. You know it will be positive." I've never been so sure of something in my life. Even though I still gaurded myself (all of us have been there. Get our hopes up to have them come crashing down. You kinda build a wall just in case.) I knew deep down that I was.

Before I had even missed a period, I was incredibly nauseous and had the worst hearburn EVER (I NEVER get heartburn). Then came the fatigue, where I was falling asleep at 6pm after a 10 hour sleep the night before and a nap in the day. After about 5-6 weeks I started having seriously bad headaches. I'm now 9 weeks and my back hurts so bad these days I can hardly stand up straight. The sore and engorged breasts didn't start until about 5-6 weeks too.

And of course, the BFP!

1. Painful boobs
2. Tired...exhausted really
3. Peeing more than normal
4. Indigestion
5. Weird cramping

theOceanicSix · 07-08-2009, 02:22 PM

Ah, I forgot about the cramps! I'm adding that to my list.
Ok, so far:

#1 - exhaustion
#2 - cramping
#3 (tie so far) - heartburn, sore boobs
#4 (tie so far) - back ache, yeast infection, forgetfulness, less emotional, nausea, frequent urination, indigestion

I am schdule of testing on the 13th. Is it possible not to have symptoms and still be pregnant?

manyfactors · 07-08-2009, 03:06 PM

I want to know what the pp asked too! The only "symptoms" (who kows?) is gas, bloating, and constipation. can those be symptoms?

susan1821 · 07-08-2009, 03:10 PM

I have heard those could be symptoms.

gaiaverde · 07-08-2009, 03:27 PM

As for symptoms I really didn't feel that different. More like AF was coming crampy, sore boobs. I remember being pretty emotional though, cried over my friends talking about all these pregnant people. The next day I had a beta test @ 76. I didn't feel any different from the past years of TTC though. (Then again I have had a mellow pregnancy no morning sickness ect, I took HPTs til about 13 weeks just because I wasn't really feeling anything)

AnnieClark · 07-08-2009, 05:25 PM

#1. Sore bbs
#2. cramping/bloated for longer then usual
#3. tired easily
#4. very emotional
#5. headaches (I never get headaches!)
