So many pregnancy signs and only 4 weeks pregnant!

[Nat26]

Hi All,

I'm very new to this forum (only joined today), I did a pregnancy test this morning and its positive. As well as being very excited I am really nervous - This is my first pregnancy.

I was very surprised that I am experiencing so many pregnancy symptoms at this stage (this is what prompted me to test today after my period being a few days late). I have had very light cramping pains in the early part of this week, I was convinced I must be coming on my period. I have been feeling a little lightheaded at times and more recently I've developed a strange taste in my mouth - its almost like everything I eat is salt?? Has anyone else experienced this??

On top of this I feel tired, hungry, very hot and bloated!

I think I generally feel very pregnant!

Would love to hear from anyone experiencing the same symptoms and also anyone who is also due in October

Being my first pregnancy I'm hoping to get lots of advice from other mums and mums to be.

Thanks, it must be hormones racing at the moment.

Its really nice to have some support now as I don't want to tell my friends and family until after 12 weeks but I get the feeling that will feel like a very long time!!

Hello & Welcome Nat26

Congratulations, Im also due in Oct around the 9th.

Im getting lots of symptoms, feeling really sick, very bloated and I get tired very easily. My skin is also not the best at the moment I get the best breakouts, but Im very happy to be pregnant so they don't get me down!!

[Nat26]

Congratulations to you all too, its really nice to hear I am not alone!

As for the skin Vicky, I'm totally with you there - I currently look like a spotty teenager!

I'm really hoping I don't get any actual sickness, so far its just a little dizziness.

Hemera - naps sound good, I can definitely cope with that.

Nice to see others due in October

Can anyone tell me how I can get the baby due date calculators everyone has on their posts? They look fab xx

The first thing I noticed was very sore slightly swollen breasts (never get them that bad usually), and that was 6 days post ovulation! First positive test, when I knew for sure, was about 5 days before my period was due. I'm now about 5 1/2 weks and my breasts are HUGE, mood is going mental, and the nausea is starting to kick in a bit more. Wouldn't have it any other way though

Ps - also should be due in mid October (fingers crossed!)

I'm due a bit before you, but I will tell you I had symptoms WAY early this time. (I did not feel any ounce pg with either of my first two until 6-7 weeks though.)

This time, a full week and a half before missed af - I started waking every night DRENCHED in sweat - it was really gross. I was (and still am) just so HOT all the time, day or night. I had cramps, really sore bb's, and I would say even some mild nausea. I felt so pg, I took three tests a full week and a half early - pretty much knowing it was too early and they'd be negative - but there were definitely physical signs.

Congrats & welcome.

I'm due October as well currently being 5 week & 2 days. I've not had many signs, just tiredness and being very bloated mainly but with the occasional bout of sick feeling. I was prompted to do my test when my AF was not there first thing like it always is and I just had a feeling to check.

Welcome to the forum!
