Question

Do period pains and pregnancy symptoms feel the same or are they a little bit different

Answer 1

they are the same...every month i get them all and it does my head in...infact i am suffering now bad head aches feel sick and just cant be bothered which is hard as ive got a 6 year old and a 8 year old....it does my box in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

they are very similar and everymonth that i think i could be pregnant. it turns out that i am just getting my period. cramping, nausia, spotting and so on. they only way yo know if you are pregnant is if you miss your period even after that it takes a week or so to have pregnancy symptoms.

Answer 3

they are very alike when i first found out i was pregnant i kept getting cramps like period ones and was convinced i was going to miscarry until the midwife told me

Answer 4

for me they are exactly the same.  last month I should have been pregnant with all the symptoms I was having lol, but AF ended up showing anyhow, which I knew she would.  just don't drive yourself crazy looking for symptoms or thinking a symptom is pregnancy related.  just wait and see if AF is late.

Answer 5

they are alot alike, that is why most people have to wait until they missed their period. you get almost the exact same syp. before your period as you do when you are in early preg.
