Early Pregnancy Signs:⁠

If you’re waiting on your period and think there’s a chance you could be pregnant, how do you know your suspicions could be true?⁠
How early will you feel the signs? ⁠

This depends for each woman. Some women feel symptoms from as early as 4 weeks, some don’t notice anything until they’re way past their missed period.⁠

Here are 3 to look out for:⁠

1) Frequent urination⁠
If you’ve noticed you have the need to go to the toilet more often, this could be a sign.⁠
Why does this happen, though? This is down to the hormone called hCG which increases the blood flow in your pelvic area.⁠

That amounts to some possibly awesome sex, but frequent trips to the ladies room.⁠

2) Fatigue ⁠

This is probably the most frequent of symptoms as the first trimester of pregnancy takes it’s toll on your body.⁠
Your body is working hard to develop your baby’s nervous system and to get all the organs working – like the heart, typically starting to beat at 6 weeks.⁠

So if you’re feeling more wiped out than usual, this could be why. ⁠

(I also have a post all about surviving pregnancy fatigue on the blog)⁠

3) Tender breasts⁠

Similar to the time around your period, your breasts will become a little swollen and tender to the touch during pregnancy. ⁠

This is due to the role of progesterone, which among other things,inhibits the breasts from lactating until after birth.⁠

There are 6 more symptoms listed on the blog post and mamas get real on how they just KNEW when it was their time!⁠

I’ve written and erased what I’ve wanted to say so many times. I still probably am failing myself with written expression, and character limits.
I’ve had full monologues in my head, and also much that has been scribbled down or typed out for a book I feel called to write.
I’ve pushed it off, busying myself with any number of other things, distractors, but here we are.

It’s today.

The day of the ever coveted and celebrated due date, but we all know baby comes when it wants. I’ve been acutely aware that instead of this post, I could have been doing skin to skin with a milk drunk infant as I, in a state of euphoric exhaustion perhaps was writing a post about something entirely different.
A birth announcement and comparison side-by-side pictures from my other babies, my newborn nursing/pumping schedule (for my condition), signs of early PPD and how to get support, how much food I ate after birth (always impressive to me), or any number of things relevant to the situation.
But here I am.
Extremely raw with the realization that none of the coursing emotions that had filled my heart, mind, and body when I saw two lines, are something physical I could hold in my arms today, if today had in fact been THE day.
Enter guilt, feelings of panic, and so much more that also came with these lines. I absolutely experienced that as well.
This post isn’t to publicly beat myself up further though. I’ve done that enough.
Your partner, Doctor, friends and more can say “It’s not your fault” and you can also tell yourself that, but in my experience, I didn’t release myself from guilt or imposed fault while completely wallowing in grief.
Through my grief, I did learn forgiveness.
I learned about myself, and about loss situations I had empathy and support for in the past, but now was living through. It was a new understanding and one that leaves a lifelong imprint on your heart.

Grief and Loss can have the most tremendous impact. It can bring out the best, and worst in people. It can change you, for better or worse.
It can tear your life apart, or bring your life together.
Or both.

W H Y:
” Why would you share so early.”
“Why would you post if it’s not confirmed.”
“That’s eager.” “How do you know your actually pregnant.” Its not a bid for attention. PAL is Raw. I’m putting all my faith in God. Living for Peace.

I share to normalize early pregnancy announcement. I share because my sisters should not suffer through early miscarriage alone because their plans have been dashed. Hearts broken. GRIEVING. Dark and lonely .I share my faith building I share my prayers. I share what I read whether I like it or not.We have many friends TTC. Suffering early miscarriage, suffering alone because no one knew. Parents from conception. I share because the odds are against us. Life matters at all gestations, we are pro choice, pro support and pro Jesus. Treat your sisters how you want your daughters treated. What I dont share is hate. We have heaps of support thank you and God bless you all especially my ttc sisters , im still praying for you all x
