Share your first signs of pregnancy stories.

My first pregnancy was filled with so many new experiences. I noticed little changes in my body almost immediately. I felt a new sense of purpose. I started reading all kinds of books about pregnancy and motherhood. I also joined some mommy - to - be groups online where I could share my concerns and joys with other women going through the same thing. One of the most amazing parts was feeling the baby move for the first time. It was like a little flutter that made it all so real.

My first pregnancy labour was a journey. I had been preparing for it for months, reading all kinds of books and taking classes. But nothing really prepares you for the real thing. I had back labour which was extremely painful. I tried different positions to get some relief. My partner was by my side the whole time, which was really comforting. In the end, after hours of pushing, my baby was born. It was a life - changing moment that I will never forget. There were moments of doubt and fear during the labour, but the joy of having a new life in my arms outweighed it all.

My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. I was about 8 weeks along when it happened. I noticed that my pregnancy symptoms like nausea suddenly disappeared. Then came the cramps and bleeding. I felt so alone during that time as it was unexpected. Later I learned that it can be quite common in first pregnancies, but it didn't make it any easier at the time.

Morning sickness is a common first sign. Women often feel nauseous, especially in the morning. Some might even vomit. Another one is breast changes. They can become tender, swollen or the nipples might darken.

My first pregnancy was a total surprise. I was in my mid - twenties and had just started a new job. One day, I felt really nauseous and tired all the time. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. At first, I was really scared as I wasn't fully prepared. But then, as the days went by, I started to get excited. I read a lot of books about pregnancy and started taking prenatal vitamins. I had a relatively smooth pregnancy with only a little bit of morning sickness in the first trimester. I felt my baby move for the first time around 20 weeks and it was the most amazing feeling ever.

Well, for my first pregnancy, I had no idea what to expect. I started preparing the nursery way too early. The birth itself was long. I was in labor for about 12 hours. I had an epidural which helped a lot. And seeing my little one for the first time was indescribable. It was like a whole new world of love opened up.

Sure. My neighbor had early signs like mood swings. One minute she was happy, the next she was crying for no reason. She also noticed that her nipples became darker. And she had a metallic taste in her mouth a lot. Later she found out she was pregnant.

Fatigue is also a common early sign. Your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes and is working hard to support the developing embryo. So, you might feel extremely tired even without doing much. For example, I knew a woman who used to be very active but during her early pregnancy, she could barely stay awake past 8 pm.

A common first sign story is that of a person who initially thought they just had a regular cold because of a runny nose and sneezing, but then developed a fever and fatigue which turned out to be COVID.

For me, I noticed that I was getting really moody all of a sudden. Little things would make me cry or get really angry. And then I started having these mild cramps in my lower abdomen. I didn't realize at first that these could be signs of my first period coming, but looking back, they were clear indicators.
