Symptom Question

So as I mentioned yesterday, I'm not actively TTC, so I'm not really doing any research or unnecessary reading (I'm a total hypochondriac and I don't want to get spooked), but I was curious when the typical symptoms of pregnancy start to manifest?

Like, sore boobs and them getting bigger happens almost immediately I think, and then morning sickness after like 6 weeks? But when do the cravings and stuff kick in?

I'm just curious because last night I was reading a book that took place in the south, and fried pickles were mentioned, and now I've been fixated on getting them. Like, I can't even concentrate right now because I'm thinking of pickle chips! I'm sure it was a combination of being hungry and AF is probably coming next week (don't really believe for a second that our oopsie session last week will result in anything )

But I'd much rather get all my info here at this point than go looking for it so I don't go self diagnosing and driving myself nuts!

Re: Symptom Question

I didnt start having any real symptoms until I was 6 weeks pg. The only out of the ordinary "symptom" that i had during the 2ww was twinges in my left boob.

Re: Symptom Question

From what I understand, symptoms come at all different times, it really depends on the person.. some people feel them immediately, others don't feel any till after 6-8 weeks-I think it has to do with how your hormones work..

There is such a thing as phantom symptoms, like you said, sometimes your mind believes what it reads.

Good luck!
