Moms -- Can You Help Me Out?(lady question)

Definitely test.
I'm a mom of two... my first tell-tale signs were tender breasts. Some may argue that it's impossible, but I KNEW that I was prego (with both pregnancies) before taking a test. There was no immediate noticeable change with my body, I just knew.
Then came the nausea... thankfully it wasn't full blown vomiting, but it was still irritating. (saltines helped immensely).
However, on the other hand as you said, some things just throw off your cycle. Mine was like clock-work--every 28 days. When I was stressed out (a lot) about something, mine would always be late. (3-7 days). But you could also skip a month due to stress etc.
Take a test asap. You could be prolonging your already late period if you're stressing about the results.0 -
When I was pregnant with my son I was a mad crazy lunatic! I was in St. Croix with my husband, brother, and daughter and it was over my bday. My husband left my card in the bottom of a cooler and it got drenched and I went postal on him! LOL! So I tested and I was indeed pregnant, not just a crazy lunatic. LOL! My brother was the first to know after my husband and daughter and he was like "What is this thing? Did you pee on this?" He has no idea what a pregnancy test was! LOL!
SO GO TEST! I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!:flowerforyou:0 -
My first sign and only one is being married to the porcelain throne for 9 months. I immediately lose weight and the desire to eat. Everything makes me nauseous including water and my own saliva. However, I had hyperemesis, so this is not typical. Congrats and good luck.0

My best friend had hyperemesis as well. I felt so bad for the poor girl. She ended having to quit her job, because her boss wasn't to nice about the whole situation.0 -
Dollar tree tests are good. I'm going to "warn" you though...I tested with dollar tree and I was a week late. It came back negative. I decided to look again after 10 mins just for giggles and there was a very slight line. I went to the doc and the same thing happened there. I took a blood test and then 2 days later I "miscarried" and a month later found out I was preggers and I conceived a week before I took the test. Listen to your body...0

haha ok if I can sneak out during lunch to buy a test I will, but it not I'll try to test at home this afternoon after work and let you ladies know! I'll drink lots of water today! haha
Don't drink lots of water!!!!!!!!! That'll dilute your urine, you should not drink a couple hours before0 -

I'm in just to see the results--you've built up a lot of anticipation here! I've never been pregnant, so I have nothing to offer, but my husband and I started trying a couple of months ago so I am with you, wondering if every possible symptom presages pregnancy or my period. I am trying not to obsess about it and just let things happen in a relaxed way. Sometimes that's easier said than done, though. Good luck!0

I had a sudden attack of being a raging *****, which is not my normal personality, then my boobs got sore. But REALLY, tests are great these days, don't wait and wonder..0
-
Good luck!:happy:0
-
first 5 weeks is all I can tell you...sore breasts, MAJOR crazy acne on my chin that normally is not an issue at all for me, and super strong fingernails suddenly.0

geez i hope I don't disappoint! lol
And my significant other and I have been Not Trying/Not Preventing for a few months so far, and nothing yet. My sister got pregnant like in 1 try so I was a little upset I wasn't the same way lol...but everybody is different, even sisters.
I totally get where you're coming from though on the "not let it get to your head" thing, cause I easily obsess over stuff like this too! haha
But good luck!
I let y'all know what I find out!! 5pm won't get here soon enough, I'm sure! lol0 -
Fire breathing heartburn and boobs so sore I couldn't touch them.0
-
Do you want to be pregnant? You can certainly think yourself into all the symptoms and even the late period when your really anxious to get pregnant.....take the test, anything besides a positive test means nothing.0
-
Just take a pregnancy test. I didn't feel anything until 8 weeks.
As you are 7 days late, you're well within the time frame to take a pregnancy test and have it be accurate.
This was my experience. The only thing I felt with baby number 1 at 8 weeks was TIRED and cravings were through the roof.But I didn't realize I was pregnant til I did the test.0 -
Ahh, I did notice that the veins on my upper chest, near my collar bones, were VERY prominent and typically they aren't. Get that test, I gotta know now lol! Best of luck!0
-
I didnt feel anything with any of mine, but I did have a couple of those ghost pregnancies where I wanted to be pregnant so ba my body started having symptoms like a late period, itchy nipples, ect. best way to tell is just take a test0

Yeah, my sister has been able to "schedule" getting pregnant 3 times. Each time on the first try. Took us 8 months the first time (actively trying) and 6 the 2nd time.0 -
I had sore breasts that didn't go away like they usually did before my period. I had to pee a lot. @ 6 weeks I started feeling nauseous. My heart seemed to be beating harder all the time. I just felt "weird."0

You can buy a pregnancy test at the dollar store. Just spend the dollar and find out.
But for me, I knew I was pregnant right away, or at least I had a sneaking suspicion. I was a few days late, then I "started" my period, which only lasted 2 days at most. By the end of the week, I knew for sure I was so I spent the buck to find out. It was positive. I got another one from another dollar store and again it was positive.0 -
Yeah, except sometimes, it doesn't. With my third, I didn't have a postive test until the second trimester...Do you want to be pregnant?

I was tired, sore breasts, and felt bloated / heavy.0

Good luck and baby dust to both of you! That is what we did the 1st time....just stopped preventing it and let "whatever happens, happen" which is why it took me a minute to figure out what was going on.0 -
For me, it was my sense of smell. That was my early pregnancy trigger for both of my girls.0
-
Sore boobs. Were always my first indication.0
-
Looking back I actually felt implantation with both my girls. For my first, My boobs were very sore a few days before my period and I had never had sore boobs before like that. Its not a normal pms or pre-period symptom for me so I knew. It was interesting because we had started trying the month before and I had my period a week and a half before my wedding. And then I felt implantation on the first evening of our honey moon and we were in Florida for almost 2 weeks so I was due on just after we got home and I was very clock work. So I took a test the morning after and boom! For my second we were trying for a few months and I also felt implantation but my boobs didn't start hurting til after I tested.
Also....I ended up with hyperemesis, which is nausea and vomiting of pregnancy but way way worse. If you ever need any tips for that....I got a bag full from being violently sick til 20 weeks both times...ugh...0 -
Hunny, I was almost four months in before I knew, and that was only after being made to take a test by my best friend after I said I lost my taste for meat and got really clumsy. No other symptoms for the rest of the pregnancy. (I even had my period each month except the last two months, which really sucked.)
We're all different. A test is your best bet. Congrats, though!0 -
You either are or aren't... and a 1 dollar bathroom break can tell you... without all the drama. I would think that if one was having sex with no protection... pregnancy really shouldn't be that big of a shocker and would have a little stock of cheap pregnancy test. To keep oneself from going nuttso.0
-
I had no symptoms with my son at all .. just late. With my daughter I had every symptom there is! Each pregnancy is different. Good luck!0

wellllll?
