How I knew I was Pregnant before I actually knew…
I feel like every pregnancy is so different for every person.
My first pregnancy, I had absolutely no idea I was pregnant. I found out around 10 weeks and had my first ultrasound at 12 weeks.
The next time around, everything makes a little more sense.
I actually thought I was starting my period. I had a little spotting. Three days later, I had been having some cramping which could easily indicate period starting, but it still hadn’t. It was abnormal for me to spot and then not start the very next day.
My appetite immediately changed. I was having major food aversions to processed sugar. Good thing I know. I wanted protein and meat and cold fruit. Avocado toast was a must every morning for breakfast. Nothing else sounded good.
The day I finally realized I should take a test, I couldn’t sleep if my life depended on it the night prior. I had major insomnia. That was completely out of the ordinary for me. I take magnesium every night and it really helps me sleep, so I didn’t understand why all of the sudden it didn’t work.
The next day is when I took a test and taa-daa 2 pink lines 🫶🏼

Pregnancy symptoms can vary drastically from one person to another. Common early signs often include light spotting, cramping, and food aversions, such as a sudden dislike for processed sugars. Alongside these symptoms, insomnia can also indicate pregnancy; many find their sleep patterns disrupted due to hormonal changes. In addition to the physical symptoms, emotional changes can be profound as well. Many women experience mood swings, heightened sensitivity, or a general sense of well-being. It’s essential to listen to your body and observe any unusual changes. Understanding these signs can provide clarity before confirming pregnancy through a test. If you find yourself questioning whether you might be pregnant, consider keeping a journal of your symptoms and emotions. Documenting these changes can help you recognize patterns and provide valuable insights when discussing with a healthcare provider. Knowing the early signs can help you take proactive steps, whether that means preparing for a pregnancy or seeking medical advice for your health.
