Early signs of pregnancy

Alright, I need all of the mother's help. I'm trying not to jump to conclusions, but I feel like I set myself up for this. There is a chance I might be pregnant, but it is slim. I have been on birth control pills for 5 years, I have on been sexually active for 1.5 years. Last month my pack ran out and I ended up not being able to get a refill for a week after I was supposed to start the new pack. My boyfriend and I had un-protected sex (No lectures please, i'm aware of the consenquences). Beforehand, I had spoken to my mom, she is a medical assistant, about if I should be ok or not. She of course reccommended using condoms for a month just to be sure, but also told me the chances of getting pregnant only being a week behind were very slim. Which is why I decided to go Au Natural.

Now, my dilemma. I have been freaking out since we had sex worried that i could possibly get pregnant. The past couple days 1.5 weeks since our rendezvous, I've noticed that my breasts feel a lil heavier on my body then usual. I have felt a slight bit of fatigue and random moments of light cramping. I've read articles about all of the early signs of pregnancy, and now i think i'm being a hypochondriac about my symptoms and chalking it up to pregancy out of guilt and worry. I'm not due to start my period for another two sundays... so a pregnancy test is out of the question.

So, Mothers, tell me before your missed period... How did you know you were pregnant?

Again, please no lectures on un-protected sex, I'm an adult and am perfectly capable to handle a pregancy.

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

Recommendations from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology say that pregnant women who have an uncomplicated pregnancy should participate in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most, if not all, days of the week. A few exceptions are noted: ice hockey, kickboxing, soccer, and horseback riding probably should be avoided because they are activities with higher risk of trauma to the abdomen. Also, scuba diving poses a risk of decompression sickness ("the bends") to the fetus and should be avoided.

Elevated temperatures can have adverse effects on the development of the fetus. Therefore, hot tubs and sauna baths should be avoided when trying to conceive and during pregnancy.
