Mine were my chest hurt and I was very veiny. With my 1st I was really nauseous. I also had pulling cramps. A lot of my symptoms are PMS symptoms too. What about you?

My first pregnancy symptoms were extreme fatigue. I just couldn't get enough sleep! I was also feeling heavy in my abdomenem area, as though I was going to get my period but I later found out it was the circulation increasing in the uterus.

I was basically sick to my stomache with 4 of my 5 pregnancies. With my oldest daughter, I had absolutely no sign of pregnancy and even had my period. i went to the doctor when I was about 6 months pregnant because my ribs hurt all the time. LOL I was absent minded I guess!

When I was pregnant with my son, I never thought about being pregnant at all. I really thought I was getting the flu and just couldn't shake it. After a couple of weeks, I did some blood tests (I worked in a lab so did it myself). My friends suggested a preg test. I didn't want to do it becaues being told I would never get pregnant sort of made me think there was no way. LOL WEll, I knew that if I ended up going in to the doc, she would do a preg test anyhow, so I went ahead and did it. While the tests were running, I kept working and a friend of mine picked up the preg test after 10 min and said "um, elisa, i think you need to come see this". I was in TOTAL shock!!! LOL With my daughter, I didn't really feel bad. Just one day, for some reason, I thought "i should take a test". It was really wierd..one of those psychic moments. LOL I just really had no symptoms. I took the test and then was SHOCKED! I was shaking and crying. LOL Still haven't figured out why I took the test.

I became friends with a mother of 2 kids who now has 4. We were talking one day while playing cards and I mentioned that I was worried cause I didn't have a period for 2 mo and my chest was very tender. Knowing I didn't want kids, she asked if I might be preggy and told her I had a feeling I was. She had a preggy test kit and it came up positive. If it wasn't for my g/f and learning how to deal with her kids, I would of given my daughter up for adoption. I would die/kill to protect her now. Never had morning sickness with her but did get major hot flashes and back hurt most of the term.

I started to get pretty moody right away and had to eat breakfast or I would feel sick(I usually skip breakfast)

My first was nausea. I was watching Kill Bill and was nauseated-I thought it was from the blood, but I usually do not get sick from that. I also had bb pain as well as headaches.
