Missing your period is a pretty good early sign

Wasn’t trying to be cheeky, just speaking from personal experience.

Totally fair and I wasn’t trying to invalidate it—I genuinely chuckled because of how obvious a sign that is!

My hairdresser knew I was pregnant before I did! We had just started trying, I went in for a haircut and she said, “Omg you’re pregnant!” I told her I didn’t think so but she was insistent. Took a test the next morning and sure enough! I hadn’t even missed a period yet - no idea how she knew!

Damn, that sounds scary. The list of pregnancy symptoms are long and comparable to living near a nuclear facility that leaks toxic shit.

Weird bubbling in my uterus that felt different than my pre PMS aches. I was randomly napping later on in the day when I never nap. None of the regular sad/depression pre PMS symptoms, in fact I was of high spirits.

Before my missed period, I had a sense of something else being in my body.

I also felt a fullness/heaviness in my abdomen even then I had been sick and typically would have felt empty from not keeping food down/in

I felt like there were butterflies in my stomach. It sounds strange to say this, but I almost felt as though I could feel the cell division taking place, as there was so much activity down there.

My bra felt “wrong” — not too small, just wrong.

Unexpired/fresh pepperoni on a fresh pizza I had just made smelled rancid to me when I went to eat a slice (but was of course fine for everyone else) lol. Meat continued to smell bad all through first trimester too.
