I am 5 weeks on Sunday and i have felt a little nauseous twice but it passed soon after i ate……so i am hoping it is not all waiting for me around the corner as i am going overseas on the day i turn 6 weeks…..on a long flight.

I probably wouldnt have even known i was pregnant had i not had the positive test. I have itchy nipples and didnt even know that was common for pregnant women til now…

The whole thing is a mystery to me – after watcjing so many friends and family have babies you dont really think about it as much until it happens to you.

I got morning sickness at about 6 weeks, at the same time I got really sore breasts (rolled over in bed onto my tummy, thought "wow, my boobs are sore" and the next second thought, "wow, I’m pregnant" (I was trying to get pregnant, sore breasts aren’t the only sign of pregnancy, of course).

Morning sickness can start practically anytime after conception. It also can happen anytime in the day. It’s due to the hormone changes.

Morning sickness can also be different between different pregnancies. With my first child, I got about 10 days of totally debilitating nausea at about 6 weeks – couldn’t bring myself to eat anything besides really mild food, like unbuttered toast. Ended very abruptly. With my second child, It started a bit later, wasn’t nearly so bad, but it happened much longer and off/on throughout the day. It’s sort of like having the same total about of nausea, but spread out more.

Your OB can recommend whether there is anything in particular tht will help. I was recommended mild exercise (like walking). It will get your metabolism up, which will help your body process the hormones.

about 2 weeks after getting pregnant I noticed a lot of cramping. Like I was pmsing but my period wasn’t due for another two weeks, my boobs hurt and looked like they were swelling. I also started to look @ baby stuff for no good reason really and getting all emotional about it.
Than I missed my period.
When I was about 5 weeks I started the "morning" sickness.
It didn’t stop til I was 4 months..

i noticed about 4wks in..
was really tired and breasts were sore.
went to the doctor and found out soon after.
had my first ultrasound at 6wks
i didn’t get morning sickness until later on (and it was in the afternoon)
the sickness usually fades away after 12wks, but some women get it all the way thru.

A big sign is missing your period. Other possible causes of missing your period are travel, fatigue, stress, illness, extreme weight gain or loss, going off the pill and breastfeeding.

Morning sickness is also another biggie. It usually occurs 2-8 weeks after conception. I started feeling slight waves of nausea around the time my period was due, obvioously it didn’t arrive because I’m 18 weeks pregnant! Other possible causes of nausea are food poisioning, emotional stress and a variety of illnesses.

Frequent urination is another sign some women have. It usually rears its ugly head as early as 2-3 weeks after conception. Other possible causes are urinary tract infection, stress or diabetes.

Tingling, tender and swollen breasts is a very common pregnancy symptom. It can occur as early as a few days after conception, I know that was the case for my two pregnancies! Other possible causes are birth control pills and impending menstruation.

Another sign is darkening of the aerola (area around the nipple) and elevation of the tiny glands around the nipple. This usually happens later in the first trimester, although I noticed it around the same time I got a positive pregnancy test, when my period was due. Other possible causes of this are hormonal imbalances or the effect of a prior pregnancy.

A big sign for me was blue and pink lines under skin and later on abdomen. For me, I found that my breasts were the first to look like a road map with blue veins, about 5 days after conception. After that my thighs, hands and feet started to show veins as well. Later on, purple veins appeared under my armpits, on my eyelids and on my cheeks – I have very light skin. This usually occurs later on in the first trimester. Other possible causes are hormone imbalance or the effect of a prior pregnancy.

Food cravings can drive pregnant women insane! They usually appear in the first trimester. Other possible causes include poor diet, stress and impending menstruation.

A big sign for me, was tiredness. I used to almost be an insomniac, and about a week and a half after conception, I struggled to keep my eyes open past 8.00pm.

I also started to have ‘grumpy pregnant lady’ mood swings!

almost as soon as a week after. My hubby noticed something was wrong with my temperment as soon as we came home from Hawaii ( i was ovulating in Hawaii) we almost broke up over it. he had some odd idea i was so upset because we came home from vacation i was mad about it. My boss pulled me into a conference because they said my quality of work was going downhill in the past month (it had been exactly one month since i had come back from Hawaii) i was grumpy, i was short-tempered and my boobs were killing me after two weeks of pregnancy. I knew i was pregnant when i started having violent dreams about my children's death. I hadn't even missed my period yet. took the pee test. it was positive. if you pay attention to your body, you can tell very quickly.

It all depends. If you look in books, they all say something different. i've been pregnant and miscarried twice at 5 weeks, and i was sick within a week after being pregnant

Some people are lucky enough to never have morning sickness throughout their entire pregnancy. I felt it very soon after I was pregnant – maybe a week before I got a positive on a home pregnancy test. I was also extremely tired and had to go to sleep as soon as I got off work, and sometimes was out for the night (I worked at a public school and got home at 3:30). Only a few days after conception I started noticing very subtle symptoms, like the color of my eyes changed. That happened whenever I got my period so I guess it is a hormonal thing.
