Earliest Signs of Pregnancy?

Hi All!

I'm wondering what some of the earliest signs/symptoms of your pregnancies were?  Was anyone just freakin exhausted?  Was anyone sick? 

Thanks!

My breasts hurt and I was very tired. 

When you say sick, do you mean nausea?  I didn't get nausea until maybe 6 weeks.

Yes, I guess, nausea but not vomitting, and (sorry if it's TMI) changes in bowel movements I guess is the best way to explain it.  I just haven't been feeling par for the course for a few weeks now and friends that I've told my 'symptoms' to want to know if I'm pregnant, or if there's a chance I could be.  I'm highly doubtful that there's even a chance, but was just curious to see what other women had experienced.

Before I even considered the though of being pregnant, I was falling asleep by 7pm! I thought it was PMS! I struggled to get thru my normal workout routine, it just became too hard!

The constipation and sore breasts didn't happen for a few weeks after I confirmed though.... have you missed a period yet? There's a test out there you can take up to five days before your missed period. Keep in mind there are no false positives, only false negatives!

I was perfectly fine, then I had one beer with a friend one night and instantly felt "off". I knew then... It was the same with my first. It's the beer test. LOL!

I didn't have nausea until later on...maybe 10 weeks or so. My boobs filled out too. They weren't sore, just fuller. Also I felt kinda wonky, ya know, a little lightheaded.

Regular constipation can cause nausea if it's bad. You could be feelng the effects of being "backed up". As for the period, if you're late it could be stress or anything. People who get anxious or stress over a possible pregnancy can actually cause their period to be delayed. Weird, huh>?

For me, sore breasts were the first sign.  It felt like they did when I was about to get my period, but it didn't go away and no period.  Shill's beer test worked for me too.  I felt sick after drinking one beer.

A very yucky feeling in my stomach and mouth.  Never got sick during any of my pregnancys - just felt blech! during the first trimester and "freakin exhausted"

One friend had a particular ache in her teeth and had it every time she was pregnant during the first four weeks.

Intense cravings for those crappy little fruit pies and mustard. 

Boobs.  Grew a set overnight.  From A to C.  No joke. 

Not to be gross-  but gassy.  this happened to my sister too.  I wasn't expecting to be pregnant and before I took the test a few days before I was so gassy I thought to myself "how funny would it be if I was pregnant"  (a thought popped into my head when my sister told me if I was ever really gassy that I was probably preggo)

then the boobies hurt so bad I had to wear two sports bras just to walk the treadmill!  and they grew enourmous!

I knew at 3 weeks!  And believe me, I wasn't planning or in any way expecting it, so I wasn't looking for signs. I just knew...

Mostly very slight nausea, but one morning I poured myself a cup of coffee, took a sip and ten didn't want it.  For me to not want my coffee, I knew SOMETHING had to be going on!

I knew something was up the first time I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I used to be able to sleep through the night (12+hours) without waking. It happened night after night for the rest of my pregnancy :)

Oh, and in the beginning I would be so hungry I was nauseous...or just nauseous unless I ate.

Thanks everyone for the responses!  I bought a pregnancy test yesterday afternoon, but am too scared to use it!  Lol, I'll work up the nerves thought, although I just really don't see that being it.  Somethings not quite right with me right now, just am not sure what.

Everything happens for a reason. Just remember, we're all here to support you as well! Good luck....

I've had pretty much all those symtoms and no, I wasn't pregnant. I take BCP and I *knew* that technically i cannot get pregnant...so one time I had a bad case of food poisoning, another time I was just constipated lol and stress gives me the exact same symptoms as well...gah!

And yes, hubby even got me a pregnancy test which turned out negative lol

So be brave and take the test.

breast soreness, felt sick all of the time, exhaustion....I told my boyfriend that I was either dying or pregnant, either way I was going to have to go to the doctors.

:)   thankfully that part didn't last past the first trimester, by the second trimester I felt like a new person

For me, the very first sign all three times (that I noticed anyway) was acne.  I really have never been prone to acne, but all three times, shortly before I found out I was pregnant I broke out into acne (and continued to every 4 weeks or so).  Not exactly the pregnancy glow I was expecting LOL!

Mine was heart burn!

My first symptom of pregnancy was sore breasts, definitely. I would usually get sore breasts once a month as part of my lovely pms. But this time is started, and didn't stop for quite a few months. If you're hoping to be pregnant good luck ^_^.

Guys, thanks so much for the responses.  I finally was brave enough to take the test and it was negative.  Towards the end of last week, I started feeling alot better, who knows? Maybe it was just a bug!
