I'm 4 weeks today and the symptoms are already here, constant nausea, peeing a lot more, headaches, cravings, tiredness etc... is that normal to get them this early?

I've being through 2 pregnancies & I can honestly say both of them were totally different in the symptoms appearance & duration..

I guess it just all boils down to everybody's different.

ahh thankyou, when did your sickness start?

in reply to sophiejane24

With my 1st child my sickness start from day 1 but with this one I'm sure I got tto 12wks at least.

Unfortunately there is nothing normal about pregnancy symptoms and no one will hav the same. .my sickness started at 9 weeks and after everyone telling me that it will go by about 16 weeks I was still being sick the morning I gave birth twice a day. I had a time between about 20-32 weeks where I cud eat properly but was still ill. Hopefully they will go for u soon xx

It was horrendous. .twice a day forr 9 months..I lived on ice lollies for quite a while as that's all I cud bring myself to eat x

Hey, I had some early symptoms - weeing a lot and sore boobs. However, by about week 8 all my symptoms disappeared and I began to wonder if I was pregnant at all!! Hope you stay well xx

that's what mine are like they come and go, well aside from the nausea which is constant, that's really helpful thankyou! xx

I never got any really! 2 days of morning sickness - put it down to a bug so didn't notice and could smell burnt toast everywhere I went! Google suggested I had a brain tumour!! Everyone is different! Eat little and often, plain food, rice pasta, bread etc and rest when you can!! It won't last forever!! Congratulations!! :) xx

If your sickness gets really bad, go see your gp as you don't want to get dehydrated like I Saud I don't really get morning sickness but when ever I feel queasy I drink mint tea! Works a treat!! Xx

Hello and congratulations! Like others have said early symptoms are different for everyone. All mine started at 4 weeks: fizzing sensation in my lower abdomen and a feeling as if my period was about to start (lasted a couple of weeks); tender boobs (till a week ago - am now 23+1 weeks); waves of mild nausea but luckily no actual sickness (till about week 8/9) which usually meant I needed water or to nibble something; constantly thirsty which meant I needed to pee every 15 mins (till about week 13); tiredness has been with me until last week so enjoying the return of my energy as understand it won't last!! Sounds like a long list but I consider myself to have been pretty lucky so far :-) All the best with your pregnancy! :-) xx

Hi,

First of all Congrats!!:)I had sore boobs from the 2nd week already..now im 10 weeks and have 2 size bigger than before.On my 6-8 weeks i become vegetarian..could not eat anything except vegetables or fruits.Now everything is back to normal, sometimes i feel like i am not even pegnant just when i look at my belly :) Have fun and enjoy every minute :)xx

Hello, and congratulations!

Looking back, mine started before I found out I was pregnant, when I thought I was a bit bloated and due a period at any point! I found out at about 6(ish?) weeks, so had sore boobs, mood swings, tiredness, what I thought was bloating, aches and pains...then the nausea started just before I found out.

Everybody's different, symptom wise :-) Xx

My nausea started at around 6/7 weeks! The smell of meat and curry really got to me! At 4 week's, I felt sick, but it never amounted to anything. I also just felt different. I have only been through one pregnancy but I would say nothing and everything is normal in pregnancy! Hopefully ur lucky and it clears up by 12 week's or so. Congrats :)

Hiya! Don't know about normal but I found out I was positive at 2-3 weeks from conception. I only did the test because I was hormonal and feeling really sick but thought it was due to work stress! Big surprise! I was also craving cold rice pudding and ice cream but put it down to the heat wave we had this summer! I was told it was a good sign that baby is healthy. Get to find out in 9 weeks! Congratulations by the way.

I had suspicions at the time the egg would have been implanting. I felt i had a bit of a temperature and the most painful nipples and boobs I have every experienced! Lol Not to mention the extreme exhaustion - i was in bed at 7pm from that time too! Then the nausea. But they end as quickly as they start- which panics you!! Good luck x
