Okay, anyone who really knows me as well as I do (which is probably no one) will know that I hardly ever go to the bathroom. I don't hold it in either, I just rarely need to urinate... at most I think I may go about 2-3 times a day. For example, I have this HUGE green mug I fill up with water everyday while I'm at work, and most of the time I don't really get through it all, but yesterday I came pretty close to finishing it, and yet only went to the bathroom 3 times that evening. Now today, I've been urinating like every hour practically, I've gone 4 times already in the last 3 1/2 hours. I know frequent urination is part of pregnancy, but I thought that wasn't until further along. I'm not even supposed to start my period till the 7th, so is this just water catching up on me from yesterday, or woud it be showing that early?

Plus, I've also been getting hungrier than I usually do. I don't know if that kind of stuff happens this early, because I can't take a test until at least after the 7th.

It does sound too early to me for you to be having symptoms of pregnancy, but every person is different. Frequent urination occurs in early pregnancy due to the increase of hormones and the increase in blood flow. In the later trimesters it is because your bladder gets squished. Hope this helped

Sorry I HAD to laugh at your response... the whole part about the bladder being squished, although very true, sounded funny. Who knows... I guess my questions can wait until the week of the 7th. :)

How big is this mug of water? As I said in the other post, maybe the headaches are from you not drinking enough. When pregnant, you need at least 8 8 ounce glasses a day(more if you are in a hot area, exercising, etc) You may or may not be pregnant, but maybe this is a reason for the headaches?

This water mug is basically equivalent to at LEAST 1/2 a gallon if not more. It's pretty big I feel like amidget drinking out of it, and I'm 6' tall!

Hehe, OK, well, then I suppose that probably isn't the problem, sounds like you are drinking just enough, if you are drinking half a gallon.(altho, I end up drinking at least a gallon a day, and still don't drink enough for me, at 9 months pregnant)
Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm glad I could make you laugh! That was my intentions! Sorry we can't give you a definitive answer. All you can do is wait and see if you miss your period! Let us know!
