Got baby fever? You may have been trying to conceive for months or maybe you missed your period. A home pregnancy test or doctor’s blood test is the only way to be sure you’re pregnant, but here are some early pregnancy symptoms that might be pointing to a pregnancy.👶🏻
➡️ Fatigue – You’re suddenly exhausted all the time, and a nap looks better and better. The hormone progesterone rises in early pregnancy, causing you to be sleepy.
➡️ Shortness of breath – Can’t make it through your normal morning run? A growing fetus needs oxygen, leaving you short.
➡️ Sore, tender breasts – Your favorite bra is now torture. Hormonal changes in early pregnancy and increased blood flow may make your breasts swollen and sensitive. They may even feel fuller and heavier, and some women will have darkening areolas.
➡️ Nausea – Feeling queasy with or without vomiting is a classic pregnancy symptom. Morning sickness can happen just three weeks after conception and can actually strike anytime day or night. The cause isn’t clear, but it’s probably due to pregnancy hormones. And even smells can trigger it.
➡️ Increased urination – Did you just pee, and now you’re heading to the bathroom again? The hormone hCG causes frequent urination and causes you to test positive on your home pregnancy test.
➡️ Cramping – Some women have mild uterine cramping early in pregnancy, similar to menstrual cramps.
➡️ Spotting – A small amount of bleeding may occur and is one of the first signs of pregnancy. Known as implantation bleeding, it’s caused when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus roughly 10 to 14 days after conception. Also, the spotting is much lighter than normal menstrual bleeding.
➡️ Dizziness – Pregnancy can cause your blood vessels to dilate and your blood pressure to drop, which may leave you feeling light-headed.
➡️ Constipation – Hormonal changes cause your digestive system to slow down causing constipation.
➡️ Bloating – Pants suddenly too tight? An increase of hormones causes many women to swell up.
➡️ Higher temperature – Your basal body temperature rises with ovulation and remains at that level until your next period starts. However if it remains higher for two weeks, you could be pregnant.
➡️ Headaches – Increased hormones also cause an aching head.
➡️ Food aversions or cravings – Suddenly you can’t stand your favorite breakfast foods or you crave steak when you’re a vegetarian.🍕
➡️ Mood swings – As your body is adjusting to your new hormones, your husband leaving socks on the floor or just about anything may set you off. Don’t worry, these emotional roller coasters will subside.
➡️ Late period – If your cycle is fairly regular and you missed your period, head to the drug store and grab a pregnancy test.

I didn't have anything except the sore boobs. one weird sign for me was a 24 hr 101 degree fever I had 7 days before my period. that was my body getting ready to incubate the egg. found out I was pregnant 3 days later

I had a lot of these symptoms with my girl but I explained them away...until my breasts leaked, and I was like OH that's DEFINITELY not normal LOL I took a pregnancy test the following morning and it was two positives, I was only 4 weeks pregnant at the time 😍

My first sign with my son was I got a cold that I could not shake. I was literally sick for 2+ weeks I didn't take any meds because i never get sick, ever. So I had a feeling. Then once my period was 4 days late I took a test and sure enough it was BFP

My first and only sign was the implementation spotting. I NEVER spot or bleed unless I'm fully on my period. So, the second I noticed spotting, I knew something was implanting! Haha.

The fatigue really started about 2-3 weeks and didn't let up until I was almost through the first trimester.I was working 70 hrs a week and going to school so fatigue wasn't unknown to me but this fatigue would knock me out for hours until I got hungry enough to wake up, no spotting ,but my boobs became so tender and sore. They didn't even feel that way when my milk came in and I got engorged. The nausea would only happen if I thought about eating salty foods(not a pun) I couldn't eat anything with salt until about 20weeks.

One of the first symptoms I felt was falling asleep in a 9am doctor's appointment, which was weird since I stopped working night shift 4 months prior, swollen breasts and a short 3-day menstrual period. Hubby recommended taking a home pregnancy tests and it came positive!

I had sore boobs at the time I didn't think twice about it. it was just when I layed down on them. but the second a pop tart gave me major major heartburn after eating the edge piece and then running to the bathroom to throw up stomach acid, I thought about it and I said I'd take a test for shits and giggles, never would of thought that a positive + would come up. I seriously took it at like 10 pm, I peed on it and before I could put the cap back on and set it down it was dark as night. I think I stopped breathing for a second lol but then I freaked out cuz years and years of drs telling me no kids for my future and hundreds of negative results I got blessed with my now three month old stud wyatt!
