brooke617 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have been having this feeling that I am pregnant. I can't take a test until November 1st. So I was just wondering what are the first things you notice in pregnancy in the first month of conception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrich Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 For my partner it was sore breasts and nausea. There are quite a few possible symptoms (not sure if that is the right word) and people get them in varying degrees and none of them absolutely mean you are pregnant. Obviously the test is the real confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythical_Suicide Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My first signs were, as Melrich mentioned sore breasts, fatigue, and then came the morning sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornToResist Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I felt like I had the flu. Aches, tired all the time, groggy, just a crappy feeling. Then after I was 5 days late I took the test, and alas I was pregnant. That's when the soreness and morning sickness started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My very first symptom was a strange stuffy nose (I had this 2-3 days before my missed period and continued to have it for several weeks). It wouldn't drain or drip - it just remained stuffy. I gather now that it was due to the hormonal action in my blood trying to build up a mucous plug. YUCK I know.... but I don't have the stuffy nose now, but did for at least six weeks. The sore boobs didn't come along until maybe 6-7 weeks (two weeks after my missed period). I knew something was wrong when I was trying to do a 16 mile run and at mile 7, my heart rate was crazy high. I didn't feel right at all. From the get-go, my heart rate went up. Now, in all objectivity, that could have been due to low blood sugar, but I had NEVER FELT LIKE THAT BEFORE in all of my two decades worth of running.

BornToResist Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Oh yeah I had the stuffy nose too. It went away for a while, but it's back with a vengence. "Pregnancy stresses your heart and circulatory system. During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by 40 percent to 50 percent to nourish your growing baby. The amount of blood your heart pumps each minute increases by 30 percent to 50 percent. Your heart rate increases as well. All of these changes cause your heart to work harder." - link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Wow, I also read in What to Expect When Your Expecting that the stuffy nose is a major issue later in pregnancy. It's so funny how nasal pregnant women sound, isn't it? FUNNY! Do you have the operator's voice? Thanks for the info on blood volume, makes sense to me.
