I just felt ill, felt quite sick. Couldn't eat just never felt hungry. Drank cans and cans of lemonade. Someone once told that lemonade settles upset tummy. I was never actually sick or anything just felt rough as ****. Never dreamt I was pregnant. It just never occurred to me. My employers guessed before I even knew!

Are you thinking you might be then??

I knew (it is know not no btw) I was pregnant for a second time when I smelt a chinese takeaway. I couldn't stand the smell of them during my first pregnancy and it was exactly the same with my second! Normally I LOVE chinese food, but not whilst pregnant!
The first time was more difficult, it was just missing my period really that made me think I could be, so I did a test which confirmed I was. I still didn't really feel pregnant though even after I'd been to the Doctors.

with mt first i was a week late (not unusual for me) and felt car sick.

With the second i was late.

So with me the first signs are lack of period and a positive pregnancy test.

Not all women get symptoms and even if they do, many are very similar to those women get when period is due.

With my first I had no symptoms at all and was even getting light bleeds for the first 3 months so didnt even realise I was my periods! 2nd time I just knew, even after negative tests, I knew I was. The symptoms I got with the 2nd, although I didnt get them immidiately, were sore breasts, metallic taste and then the morning sickness started........and lasted 7 months!

My signs were that I had none of my usual signs of expecting a period, also had really tender boobs and extreme tiredness, that coupled with the fact that I was confident that I knew I was pregnant - not like I have a divine gift or anything, we had been trying for a baby so it shouldn't have come as a surprise, but all the same, I felt so confident I said to my husband that I didn't think I would be having a period and that although I would buy a pregnancy test I was expecting it to be positive - which it was! :-)

Bigger, tender, sensitive boobs! they were always tender before a period but they looked bigger and my nipples were sensitive. i took a test and it was positive - i would have been exactly 5 weeks pregnant so an early sign! i was expecting my period any second!!

No symptoms at all, apart from the fact that I was a few days late. Then the inevitable happened, but it lasted less than an hour. Something made me do a test - and it was positive. After that, apart from weight gain and a touch of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in the later stages, I felt very fit and healthy.

I found out very early on, before I was even late. The first thing I remember was a vivid sense of smell and smells that I hadn't noticed before, together with extreme tiredness.
