10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids
Yes or no?
OK, I wasn't marking the days on a calendar at the time but, I swear, when I was pregnant, I had symptoms almost immediately.
Miss_cecilia, with a number of possible preggo signs herself, asked moms in Pregnancy if it was too early to be experiencing symptoms.
She had sore boobs, nausea, and specific food cravings that she'd had with her first pregnancy, but wasn't due to start her period for another week.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, women can experience "signs or symptoms or pregnancy within a week of conception." Not all do, though. It varies from woman to woman and even pregnancy to pregnancy -- some women won't experience symptoms for several weeks and in others symptoms may not appear at all.
(That's right -- some lucky gals even sail through without any morning sickness at all! That is so not fair.)
Things to be on the lookout for:
Implantation bleeding
Your period, MIA
Tender breasts
Fatigue
Nausea
Backaches
Headaches
Food cravings
How soon did you begin experiencing pregnancy symptoms?

It was about a week after conception, with both of my girls! I was sleepy all the time, everything made me sick my stomach, and then soon after my boobs would hurt.
With my first kiddo, I didn't even miss a period until I was 8 weeks pregnant (6 weeks after conception... had one period, and missed the second). About that time, my boobs got sore.
This time around, I started feeling crappy and my boobs started really hurting when I was about 5 weeks (3 weeks after conception).
I started having symptoms within days of finding out (I was 5 weeks when I found out). I think a lot of it was psychosomatic lol. I had all of the symtoms above and went from a small B to a full D cup in probably a week's time. It is important to remember that the symptoms of pregnancy are also symptoms of dozens of other illnesses and conditions (including when you're about to get your period) so if you think you're pregnant you should just take a pregnancy test before getting too excited about feeling "symptoms." When I was trying to get pregnant, I had what I thought were "symptoms" all the time and ended up being nothing but dissapointed when the tests showed negative :-(
I knew with both of my boys at 2 weeks.
As soon as it happens.
I had symptoms with both of mine within a week and a half.
my symptoms always started around the third month with morning sickness being the worst but some women get lucky and they dont get it too bad hopefully that will be you.
it may sound silly but i knew when it happened. i had morning sickness and i just felt off. then with my 3rd my husband (who NEVER throws up got my morning sickness) but i already knew he didn't. I will be praying for you. God Bless You.
Thank you for this post, I just realized I missed my February menstration.
I love the mirena but I cant stand it sometimes. You can have false preg symtoms with it, everything from sowlen breast, nausia, to food cravings. Not fun when to boot one of the side affects are the lack of menstration, that makes for too many not needed preg tests.
ugh!!!!!
