Could emotional changes be an early sign of pregnancy?

My aunt with both her children had emotional instability/changes early in her pregnancy, so it's definitely possible. There are no set rules for these type of things, and hormonal fluxes can occur at any time to change moods.

It could be, however, premenstrual symptoms. Breasts pain IBS and headaches are all things that can accompany regular periods up to a week beforehand.

Everyone is very different... first of all a missed period in all honesty is the earliest sign. After that, tender/sore breasts, cravings, slight weight gain sometimes, mood swings worse than normal, and as always a positive pregnancy test. Fatigue is also another common sign in the first trimester... for more information you should really see your doctor and have a test taken.

11 early signs of pregnancy

1. Delay of Menstruation

Late? While this is a key sign of pregnancy, other possible causes could be excessive weight gain or loss; fatigue; hormonal problems; stress; birth control; and breastfeeding.

2. Nausea and Vomiting

Feeling nauseous? It could be morning sickness, but it could also be food poisoning, stress, and a variety of other stomach disorders.

3. Tender or Swollen Breasts

Breast tenderness is a common first sign of pregnancy that typically begins one to six weeks after conception.

4. Feeling Exhausted or Sleepy

Can?t stay awake? Fatigue is definitely a sign of pregnancy but can also be caused by stress, illness, depression, and other mental strains.

5. Backaches

An aching back can signal pregnancy, but usually it?s not an issue until the second or third trimester

6. Frequent Headaches

For some women, headaches are a painful sympton of pregnancy, typically caused by higher estrogen levels.

7. Food Cravings

Dying for potato chips? Can?t stop dreaming of dairy? Want a pickle so bad you can taste it?

8. Darkening of Areola

Has the area around your nipple gotten darker? This is a common sign of pregnancy that starts about one to 14 weeks after conception and lasts throughout the pregnancy.

9. Frequent Urination

Gotta go?again?! Frequent urination is a sign of pregnancy, and usually begins about six to eight weeks after conception.

10. Fetal Movement

Is something moving around in there? Fetal movement almost always means you?re pregnant, but it doesn?t happen until 16 to 22 weeks.

11. Fetal Heart Beat

When you listen to the fluttering sound of your baby?s heart beat somewhere around 10 to 12 weeks after conception, congrats are in order.
