How I knew I was pregnant BEFORE a missed period

Note: not everyone will feel the same. I started feeling these symptoms a week after my period had just ended. I took an early test 4 days before my next coming period was due, after feeling these symptoms. :)

1. I bloat it’s nothing new but this bloat was uncomfortable and would happen in the mornings accompanied with gas 😅

2. This one is a bit odd but the cramping on the center of my uterus is what made me question if I was pregnant. Normal cramps I get before or during a period are more towards the sides of my uterus. The “difference” of the cramping made me go 🤨

3. Before pregnancy I was able to get through the day obvi did feel tired but pregnancy tired is DIFFERENT. I started feeling like I couldn’t get through the day without a nap or two and no matter how many hours of sleep I got I still felt tired. I actually ended up falling asleep at work for an hour and was not able to be woken up by any of my colleagues 🤣

4. I noticed not only that my breasts were sore(which was not normal for me) but that they were also growing 😳

5. From the moment I woke up I felt dizzy and really nauseous. I couldn’t even keep down water at one point and all my comfort foods suddenly made me incredibly sick. I could only keep down French fries and sprite at another point.

6. Before pregnancy I was going to the gym twice a day, maintaining my weight and I noticed that though my diet hadn’t changed(besides not being able to keep down certain foods) nor had my workouts, I was slowly gaining weight which was odd since my body was good with maintaining the weight I was at. (Gained 10 pounds within 2 weeks)

7. My body was not taking my workouts as good as it usually would. The weight I would rep out normally was feeling quite difficult. My body would shake even if I had lowered the weight or the reps.

8. Took tests from the dollar tree that came out +. Then bought an early detect test 4 days before my period was due and it also come out positive. To be very sure I took an extra test a week AFTER my period was due since I hadn’t had my period for that month and it wasn’t normal for my period to be that late. The tests confirmed and now I’m 38 wks with my beautiful boy 🥰
