Early signs of pregnancy | Mumsnet

Think you might be pregnant? Caught yourself googling 'signs of pregnancy' yet? (We're just going to assume the answer to that is a resounding yes). Well, if you're finding yourself preoccupied by every twinge and pang, wondering if they mean anything, you're in luck. So that you know exactly what to look out for, we asked midwife Claire to give us the scoop on the early signs of pregnancy, from the obvious to the, frankly, pretty weird.

While some pregnancy symptoms are no-brainers (missed period, anyone?) we're willing to bet there are a few that you won't have known about. Why not see how many you can tick off?

While there's the classic missed period clue, there are also plenty of other fun ones that you could miss or just write off as something else. Implantation bleeding, implantation pain, a sore back, tiredness and being excessively thirsty are all early signs of pregnancy but could almost all be easily be mistaken for signs of your period arriving.

So, what symptom first tipped you off when you fell pregnant? We'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments below.

With thanks to Clare Littler of Mumsy Midwife.

      Just wonderful, been searching for “what is the most sensitive pregnancy test?” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Penabriel Dignified Process – (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to get pregnant fast and naturally minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.

      The best spellcaster to make you get pregnant even after birth control is Dr. Agaga . When my wife was finding it difficult to conceive, she tried many pregnancy tips i saw on the internet non of them worked for her but when i contacted
      Dr. Agaga he used his pregnancy spell to make my wife get pregnant despite her age and health issues.
      I read testimony of how he used his pregnancy spell To Help Barren Women from different Countries Have Children after Other Treatments Failed!
      After reading their testimonies, i whatsapp Dr Agaga on: +2348104356761 and he cast his pregnancy spell that made my wife pregnant.
      Many mature-age mothers around the world sing praises of Dr. Agaga fertility spell on the internet.
