Some people don't show any signs, other than a missed period. I was sick (throwing up a dozen times a day), extremely tired and lethergic and I had a heightened sense of smell. I couldn't wear lotions or perfume (both of which I love) and the faintest of smells would make me gag! :lol:

I found this. Hope it helps

1. Tender breasts: Many women report increased sensitivity, fullness, or heaviness within a few days. By two weeks after conception, your areolas (the pinkish or brown skin surrounding the nipples) may start to enlarge.

2. Spotting: Scantier than a period and sometimes mixed with a yellowish discharge, a small amount of bleeding may occur when the developing egg implants itself in your uterine wall.

3. Fatigue: Can't keep awake at work? If you feel tired even after a good night's sleep, your body may be going through the changes of early pregnancy.

4. Nausea: Don't think of it as "morning sickness," since it can strike at any time of the day or night. It might feel like a slight case of seasickness or a full-fledged stomach virus -- or you may not experience it at all.

5. Bloating: Many women mistake this early sign of pregnancy for PMS; the tip-off may come when your period doesn't arrive.

6. Increased urination: You may need to go to the bathroom more than usual, a symptom that will return in spades during your last trimester.

7. Stretching of pelvic ligaments: During the course of a normal pregnancy, the uterus will grow to about 1,000 times its prepregnant size (imagine a pear turning into a basketball). Some women feel their pelvic ligaments stretching to make room for this growth to occur.

8. Food cravings: If you suddenly find yourself ravenous for citrus fruits, red meat (even if you're a vegetarian), or potato chips, don't assume it's all in your head. Pregnant bodies may crave increased amounts of vitamin C, iron, and salt -- among other things -- even from the very beginning.

That's sooo funny. My ex-husband gained 50 pounds to my 4 pounds with my first pregnancy. He had so many food cravings it wasn't funny!


First sign of pregnancy with me (after the tender boobies) I always got a really sharp pain on my right lower quadrant near my appendix when I sat up too quickly. Strange I know....... but had it all three times.

tender boobs and also swelling of the breasts
increased cm, meaning there is an abundance of what your norm is
a "clean" smell or bleach smell to the urine
spiked temps that stay above your cover line for more than 2-3 days
missed period
slight spotting that is a brownish discharge (for implantation)
increased urination (sometimes)
