**for fun**pregnancy symptoms and when?

[baby.3]

Hi ladies

I was just wondering if anyone wanted to share what your first real pregnancy symptom was and when it started? I've seen many incidents where ladies are worried that symptoms haven't kick in yet (me having been one of them). So i thought this thread might help and also might be fun to share!

I'll start So i'm 5wk 5days and for the last week my boobies have been progressively getting sore. Mainly to the touch, and i'm fairly sure my areolas are darker in colour my nipples are also constantly stood to attention

Who's next? ...

BIG BOOBS I have gone up a whole cup size, my oh cant believe how big they have got also hurts like hell if he knocks them, but thats the only time i noticed that they hurt.

Nausea - Cant really remember when the nausea kicked in, but feel like i have had it forever Im 12+6 and the nausea is still here, but not as strong as it was maybe 10 days ago.

Tired - not a chance of me doing much after work, bed by 9pm.

Foods - Beige food! that is all i wanted after maybe 6 weeks, veg and fruit was a no go - forced myself to eat it, but fruit was a struggle. Thankfully this has changed and my eating habits are slowly going back to normal - thank god.

Itchy legs - Dont notice it all the time, but every now and then i feel like they are covered in bites and want to just constantly scratch

Bleeding Gums - thankfully only had this for around a week and has now stopped completed.

Having said all the above i think i have got off very lightly with my pregnancy symptoms there are woman hella alot worse than me

I wrote these things down for future pregnancies! My first symptom was a pulled muscle/bruised uterus feeling at 3 weeks (implantation pain). Then proper painful cramps started the following day and kept going up until about 8 weeks.

Nausea kicked in at 3+5. Didn't go until 17 weeks. Lucky me!

Sore boobs started at 4+2. Still going strong on that one at 25 weeks lol

I was one of these people who had really strong symptoms from the get go so when I see people who don't find out until they're 6 weeks plus I'm gobsmacked haha.

Just to add to the mix!!

I'm one of those who had VERY few symptoms. Hopefully that might help reassure people who worry they're not feeling enough!!

I felt the tiredness kick in around 6 weeks and I favoured salty over sweet up until about 12 weeks when the tiredness started to improve.

I still don't feel all that many symptoms even now. I was never sick and my boobs have never been sore either, only bigger. I could have easily got to about 20 weeks before I really would have questioned why I couldn't button my jeans!!

Only other mild symptoms I've had are itchy, eczema like rash on legs from around 16 weeks and mild PGP symptoms that are very much manageable.

I'm the complete opposite of WinterWolf in that it baffles me that people just 'know' they're pregnant!! If we weren't trying and I didn't know my cycles so well, I'd have gone for weeks making excuses about how I was tired because I was working too hard !!

@MoominGirl - It's funny how our bodies are doing the exact same thing but we can go through completely different experiences!!

Isn't it?!

I think like anything, you always hear the horror stories so people assume if they don't feel terrible, there must be something wrong. Of course some ladies do have a truly awful time but that doesn't have to be the case for everyone. I think I've been the exception the other way though and it was a bit unsettling in the early weeks. I haven't carried big either which meant even though it was common knowledge, a lot of people really didn't know until I was really far gone!!

I had constant nausea and would vomit about eight times a day every day from week five. It seems to have resolved now I’m 16 weeks but I still get flashes of nausea come back if I’m too hot, travelling, bad smells etc. But I now haven’t been sick for four days so I’m calling that a win.

I’ve been pretty tired too but I think that’s more to do with the vomiting and that I’m not getting enough food intake. I’ve lost 10lbs and I was quite slim to begin with so I suspect I’m tired because I’ve not taken enough food in and keep waking up in the night to vomit.

My boobs are huge though. Can’t find a shop that can measure me locally as nowhere sells a big enough cup size with a small back size lol

I think that’s it though

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and soo horny it’s unreal. I want it like 3 times a day at least up to 5 times. Even having Sex 3 - t times a day isn’t satisfying so I have to use my fingers like 2 times a day too . It’s driving me insane. I’m even dreaming about having sex with DH.
