Advise from ladies who have had or are having babies...

Yes sounds like pregnancy symptoms. Good news is in a week you can know for sure!

Could be early pregnancy systems. Try taking an early results pregnancy test, they can read up to 6 days before your period. They also have two packs so you could try one now and then another closer to your period.

It does sound like pregnancy symptoms but your body and mind can sometimes play tricks on you if you are hoping for a baby. Also, the signs of pmt can be similar to early pregnancy signs. Try to keep calm until you can do the test. Some tests work a few days before period due so you only have two or three days to wait.

Could be! I always used a first response test when I was before my period - I think I found out one one of my about 5-6 days before.

Make sure to get a 2 pack though, so you can test again when/if your period is late.

Fingers crossed for you

I had these exact symptoms about a week before my period and I just knew I was pregnant but unfortunately I wasn't. I hope you get the results youre looking for

Test. But don't be disappointed yet if it is negative. My earliest positive was 8dpo (so still 6 days before my predicted period) but that was twins. My other two, I waited until I was late.

Try and be patient and wait as long as you can....good luck!

If you are already having symptoms (if you are pregnant) you may be surprised to see how early you can get a positive test. Otc.

I doubt a doctor would give a blood test, especially this early. The doctor will say it's too soon to know.

Mine could tell I was pregnant without doing ANY test. My mother knew by the way I smelled.

It was weird.

I'm a Mother of four and I'm thinking it's much too early to have symptoms. It may be that you are anxious and want to be pregnant, so your body is manifesting these symptoms. There are new preg tests that can determine this early. You might as well pick one up and put your mind at ease either way.

Best of luck to the happy couple and their future bundle of joy! :drinker:

It isn't too early for symptoms. Every pregnancy is different. I had sore breasts and cramping within a week of getting pregnant (yes, I know the exact day it happened).

But, again, could just be PMS.

I know it's not what you were askin', but, I felt the need to share...

The Evolution of Mom

Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood also changes with each baby. Here, some of the ways having a second and third child differs from having your first:

Your Clothes -

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.

2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.

3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.

The Baby's Name -

1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites.

2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you.

3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!

Preparing for the Birth -

1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.

2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.

3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.

The Layette -

1st baby: You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.

2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.

3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?

Worries -

1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown - you pick up the baby.

2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.

3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

Activities -

1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.

2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.

3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.

Going Out -

1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.

2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.

3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.

At Home -

1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.

2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.

3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
