To start I'll give a bit of background on me. I'm Kyle (yes like a guy) and my DH is John. We started to TTC #1 after our first anniversary at the end of May and I'm so excited we didn't have to try long! Hoping it's a sticky little poppy seed. I knew about 3DPO that I was pregnant, I just had that feeling but DH kept telling me it was all in my head. I held off POAS until I was 10DPO and got a faint positive. I've POAS every day since and the line is now as dark as the control line. Pretty EXCITED!

Anyway - my symptoms showed up early. The weirdest have been the vivid dreams since I normally don't remember anything when I wake up. Last night, however, I could not sleep because my hips were aching and I was dreaming of them stretching! Every position HURT except flat on my back. I hope this was just a one night thing... sleep is precious to me!

Hmm, I don't think I have any weird symptoms when I'm pregnant. I get the typical ones like nausea, tiredness, vivid dreams and cravings (but nothing weird haha).

I really hope that was a one night deal for you. That doesn't sound fun at all!

My breasts have been really hurting and I am a tummy sleeper, so that makes it difficult, but once I crash, I am completely out. That has been my biggest symptom so far is that I am soooo tired. I am not a napper, at all. And I have taken a nap almost every day this week. At first I thought it was because I worked a lot of hours last week and traveled a lot several days in a row, but I am still tired, so I am thinking it is probably pregnancy related.

Anyway, glad to see you are joining us! Congrats!!

My DH and I found out we were expecting last weekend and so far the weirdest thing I've experienced is crying one minute and laughing the next. I'm a complete mess. Oh and then there's the constipation (TMI?) which is driving me nuts too. Hopefully the nausea stays away and I can keep up my energy level.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, Kyle!

The weirdest craving I had when pregnant was a metallic taste in my mouth. It happend in the early weeks (days?) of all my pregnancies. So after the 1st pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant with the other two, just based on the metallic taste.

I knew I was pregnant with my son because I had MS everyday...all day. But this time, I couldn't keep my hands off DH! Oh, also DH and I started taking 2hour naps at 5pm in the afternoon...

[Joliving4Jesus]

The only symptoms I am really experiencing is being super duper sleepy, loss of appetite and my usual biggest craving is out the door, which is sweets and desserts, totally turning me off, I am getting nausea a bit off and on but nothing significant, my breasts are not really sore but definitely larger and swollen.

Congrats! I don't really have any weird symptoms yet. I am mostly just really fatigued. With my first I remember being super emotional, but this time not yet!

Last night, I was sitting on a bar stool (not at a bar), and all of a sudden i had sharp pain a few inches below my belly button. I can't decide if I should describe it as cramping or stabbing pain. It only lasted about 2 seconds.

I immediately crawled into bed into a fetal position. Throughout the rest of the evening and night, I have continued to have dull cramping and pulling sensations throughout my lower abdomen.

At first, I was of course very very concerned. I have been obsessing about the potential of early miscarriage as it is... But I'm also wondering if this symptom is just related to being constipated/gassy. I ate a piece of pizza last night, so...

Has anyone else ever had sharp cramping? I normally do not get sharp cramping during my period, so it's definitely unusual.

[SammyJ]

I have had a few sharp cramps. Kind of right on my pelvic bone area. They hurt like crazy and shock me when they happen. I have had those when I've not been pregnant before though too. Not sure what they mean. Because of my loss last time, I am incredibly paranoid about another one. I have been having mild cramping and twinges off and on. They are scaring the crap out of me. Trying not to stress too much though because I know that if this pregnancy is not meant to be, then there is nothing I can do about it. Still freaky though!!

I've had a few sharp cramps and I think it's all gas related or growing pains. I notice them more if I wear tighter pants. I've been really embracing the maxi skirt and dress trend.

On Friday night I was extremely bloated and kept trying to go to the bathroom to pee and barely anything came out. I had read that it's fairly common (sometimes needing medical intervention) and sometime in the wee hours of the night I sat on the toilet until I felt empty. I now make hourly bathroom trips and the problem hasn't come up again.

It's amazing what goes on in our bodies while pregnant!

What tipped me off that I was preggo is the saliva.. I mean it just pours outta my mouth.. I also have been craving training tables ultimate dipping sauce and cheese fries.... This NEVER happens so I took a test and bam! Totally preggo we weren't even trying this month either I'm so excited!!

[snowsparkle]

Wow- let the nausea begin! I haven't had any more sharp cramping today (praise the lord), but I definitely have the pulling sensations/cramping in my abdomen. And I feel super nauseous.

I also have noticed that my lower abdomen seems to be swollen/pushed out. It seems way to early to be showing, but it just looks/feels... different!?

And my boobs are fuller/sore on the undersides.

I guess it's setting in that i really am pregnant! Didn't trust the test results at all at first. I am so excited!

[rachna]

I have had cramping, I had it with both of my previous pregnancies. A little bit of nausea this time around too

[pearlica]

My only symptoms are the sore boobs and excessive saliva! I felt a bit nauseous for a couple days but thats gone now.

[toady11]

My teeth feel sore..... It is very weird as it isn't my gums or tenderness, all my teeth feel achy. I noticed it when I was eating some crackers. Don't remember that with my first pregnancy.

[Megp]

Mine was last night while in the shower the water hit my nipple and it HURT so bad. It happened with both of my previous pregnancies also. So I pretty much knew once that happened.
After I O'd the next few days I was nauseous and crampy but they went away. With Jaxson I was like that from O until 15 weeks because I had HG. I'm hoping it stays away this pregnancy.

[JLNichols07]

My symptoms are so much different than all my pregnancies.. I feel like I have none (Which worries me a bit!) but something I have noticed is I'm extremely tired..and easily aggravated. I feel like I'm constantly in the PMS mood.

[snowsparkle]

symptoms seem to come and go over the last few days. mostly mild cramping. i wish i just felt super pregnant so i could stop worrying!

[1stTimeMom35]

I've had lots of fatigue (TWO naps today...so far!), and sore breasts. Also, lots of cramps - some not so mild! I think that may be due to my scars from two lap. sugeries for endo, though. I did have some weird dreams during my naps and woke up drooling! I also feel (and look) really bloated.
