How Did You Know You Were Pregnant?

[eldyahna]

I knew because we had been kind of trying, and about six months after I stopped the depo shot my cat was so far up my butt I thought there had to be a reason. Before she had always been my husbands lap cat but out of no where she hated my husband and loved me. I had read in many placed animals' reactions to pregnant women so I went about a week later to get a home pregnancy test and it came back positive. A complete shock for my hubby but because of my cat not so much of a surprise for me... thats how I knew...

The first thing I noticed was that I was so tired after exercising like I normally would. My whole body was sore, and my muscles didn't seem to recover. I felt a little off balance too. The next "red light" was that my boobs felt like they were being used and a punching bag. I then went to Target and bought a test and bam I was preggo.

I was sitting on the couch with my husband and said "I'm going to start my period Monday." then thought, checked a calendar, and it was actually the PREVIOUS Monday.
So I took three tests.
As it turned out though, my period the month before was a fake, I was already pregnant then.
I was almost 9 weeks when I found out.

Wow. That's almost as long as it took me to find out but I'm the dad :-) Surely you noticed something ... no?

While my husband was deployed we decided to try when he got home so I got off the pill in January. He got home April 17th. Soon after he got home I was super tired, nauseous, and my boobs hurt. I thought it was from all the stay "up" late. But I started craving nothing but Pop corn and nothing else not even my daily ice cream. I never eat pop corn not even when we go to the movies. So he said I was pregnant I said no thinking there was no way I was pregnant so soon after him getting home. But the week before my period I decided to humor him and take a test and sure enough I was pregnant. I took 2 more test that weekend and got a blood test Monday. I'm now 15 weeks 2 days.
I guess it was just meant to be. Now I'm most likely not going to reenlist this coming January so I can go to school be a mommy and not have to deal with us both getting deployed and worrying about taking the baby to my mom in Florida.(We're stationed in Cali)

Nope, I sure didn't. I hadn't missed a period. I didn't have morning sickness. Hadn't gained any weight. There were no signs at all, until I missed my period at 8 1/2 weeks.

I knew at 5 weeks because all of a sudden I woke up in the middle of the night and my nipples hurt, which has never happened and then I just knew.

I knew because I had missed my period and had 2 positive tests at home, 2 postitive tests at work and 1 positive test at the Doctor's.

With my 1st I got an extremely sore throat and ear ache. I went to the doctor and they wanted to put me on high doses of ibuprofen & sudafed. In order to write the prescription they had to do a pregnancy test because I was married and there was a possibility I could be pregnant although I insisted I wasn't. They sent me to the lab for a pregnancy test and I was shocked when the nurse came out to congratulate me!

With my 2nd I knew in my heart that we were supposed to have another one though I wouldn't tell anyone because our 1st was only 7 months old. I was at my grandparents house and my grandpa asked me if I was pregnant and I felt really offended because I was obviously still carrying around the baby weight. I went home and took a test even though I wasn't expecting my period yet and it was positive.

With our 3rd I had a very vivid dream and sat up in the middle of the night "I'm pregnant" I had to wait until I missed my period to know for sure because the tests came out negative til then.

Women in our family frequently find out they are pregnant when my Aunt Janet confronts them. She gets sympathy morning sickness.
