For me, the very first thing was extreme fatigue, like I could sleep all day, around 5-6 weeks. Then breast tenderness started, and finally, a missed period led me to test. It really does vary person to person.
My aunt said she felt super tired and had weird food cravings even before she missed her period! So, like, really early for some people. It's not just the missed period always.
I totally get it, you want to know what to expect! The symptoms can be so varied. For me, it started with intense food aversions around 6 weeks, things I usually loved suddenly made me gag. It's a wild ride for sure.
Most people notice symptoms around the 6th to 8th week, often after a missed period. Things like nausea, tiredness, and tender breasts are quite common. It's a lot to take in, but totally normal.
First, the period stops, that is the main sign. Then the body feels different, like more tired or sometimes a little upset stomach. Ginger tea helps some for that nausea. But for anything serious, always see the doctor, my child.

While missed period and fatigue are common, for those with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, it's crucial to monitor blood sugar closely right from the start. Pregnancy can affect glucose levels. Any new cravings or changes in diet should be discussed with your doctor to maintain a healthy balance.
Usually, when your period doesn't come, that's the first sign. Then some women start feeling tired, or like they want to throw up. It's different for everyone, but these small changes are common. Take care, bitiya.
