Hello everyone. For those that have been pregnant before, what was your first pregnancy symptom----besides the obvious (missed period)? I was just wondering what everyones first clue was OTHER than their missed period. Maybe it is the same for the majority of women. I have read all the early pregnancy symptoms in books and other web sites. I was just wondering how accurate they are!! All your input might be able to help those of us who have just started ttc a baby. After all, some of us have never been able to experience being pregnant before. We have just started ttc our first baby. Wink

Thanks for any advice and help you can give to those of us who want to be a mother.

My very first symptom with both my pregnancy's was lower back pain and slight cramping like my period was coming. More back pain then during PMS, but still it felt much like my af was showing up!

I had a girl and I has VERY nad morning sickness, so bad I had to be put on medication for it. Rolling Eyes

But my first pregnancy symptoms were...lets see that was a long time ago...I think the bigger/sore breasts, and having to urinate frequently, missed period, morning sickness...

Well, I just took the Clearblue Easy pregnancy test (the digital one) and it came back PREGNANT!! I am soooo excited. One of the reasons I took it was because my husband insisted on it. Let me tell you why. He said I was having severe mood swings---which he insisted I never have. I would be happy one minute and then 2 seconds later I would be mad and yelling at someone ---and then 1 minute later I would be happy again. ALL this would happen in a matter of 5 minutes. So I took the test hoping I would see the PREGNANT sign. I didn't think that moodiness would kick in this soon since my last period was on Feb 6th. I haven't really had any other symptoms. So I was wondering if the test could be wrong. However, I heard that it is nearly impossible to get a PREGNANT sign if you are not pregnant. What do you think? Should I retest?? I just haven't really had any other pregnancy symptoms!! I am sorry that I posted this under this topic and my other topic TTC our first baby!! I am just so excited.

If it is positive then chances are, you're prego! False positives are WAY less common then false negatives!

So I'd say CONGRATS! Very Happy
