I'm trying to figure out if I might be pregnant. Can anyone list out some of the common early signs and symptoms of pregnancy that I should be looking for?
For me, the first sign was wanting to sleep for 20 hours a day and crying because my husband got the wrong brand of chips! Mood swings and crazy fatigue are definitely up there.
Enjoy the early days before you reach the 3rd trimester where everything hurts! But seriously, frequent urination and extreme tiredness were my biggest early clues.
My grandmother told me that feeling warm and tired are traditional signs, but I waited for my missed period and took a test. It's always best to confirm with a doctor's test.
I felt a strange metal taste in my mouth and my breasts were so sore I couldn't even sleep on my side. It felt different from my usual PMS, and that's when I knew.
When I was staying at home, my mother noticed I was feeling dizzy and couldn't tolerate the smell of tadka in the kitchen. Nausea and smell sensitivity are very common early signs.
Since my periods were never on time, I didn't suspect anything until I had severe bloating and mild cramping that felt like periods but never started. Don't jump to conclusions, just do a test after a week.
