| They say a woman knows shes preg before testing. Did YOU know? So they say women sense being pregnant before actually taking a test. Did you know, even before symptoms kicked in? I knew about 5 days before I tested; I was getting told "Dont take the test yet, you may not be pregnant"- and as I was saying to those who came out with that comment "Trust me, I am...."- I think I was only around 4weeks when I found out, too. What gave it away for you? Mine was A)My cervix (never felt anything like it in my life, it was as hard as rock) B) I remember running down some steps and felt this awful awful jab in my tummy- something I had never ever felt before, instantly I thought "Im having a baby" When I saw those 2 pink lines, the first thing I said was "See, I told ya" I was very chuffed with myself lol.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yes, but I got symptoms right away. Within the week of me concieving (14th Feb, how romantic) I was feeling sick and very tired and run down. The best way I could describe it was that I felt very Blah. But it wasn't like a bug, it was like something was different inside my body. It was one hell of a wait until I could test I tell you, and the first two tests were negative, I was convinced that I was wrong but the symptoms just kept getting stronger. I took another test and the line was quite faint, but there, and because the symptoms just kept getting stronger I never bothered taking any more. |

Though the weird thing was, I remember sitting in a pub one night and I went to the loo- now because I was new to this whole 'cervical position' thing, I kept feeling it all the time lol, and this one particular night I was in the loo and randomly decided to see if anything had changed, but it hadnt, it was still rock hard; only this time I started bleeding. I thought I had cut myself, but deep down I knew what was happening. So I walk out the toilet in a weird state of shock, told the father what had happened, tried to explain it the best I could (about implantation bleeding etc), and he said " Look at this" and pulled out the paper- read me my star sign, and it said "A surprise birth will come in the summer"; Then it all kinda went from there and I got a positive result at 12dpo, on january 12th, at approximately 11.00pm lol. I was posting on here that night actually, I remember someone saying "You tested at 2am"? because thats what time I came on here saying I got my positive. Summer is almost over though, so if he's coming early, he better get a move on! |

| I had no idea, we weren't trying but weren't preventing and it hadn't even occured to me that it was a possibility until my boss (who didn't know) joked that I might be PG! I only took the test to rule out the possibility and was soo excited when it was a bfp.
I had been feeling sick for about a week but had assumed it was a tummy bug! |

With Kayleigh again I just knew ,then I went off coffee and was hiding teabags from OH, knew test was gonna be positie but was nervous what OH would say as shewasn't planned. He was chuffed to bits mind. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | With my 1st pregnancy (which ended in M/C) my Hubby said I think you had better do a test, because I know you are PG!! I was emotional, and very tired.
With Charlie I recognised the stingy tired eye feeling, I could have slept on a washing line! So Yes I had an Idea,
With this one, Nope not a clue, although I tested 4 days early, and was at the the is it a line, is it not?? I did a clear blue digi in the end to confirm it! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I was in complete denial, was two weeks late for my period and feeling nauseous all the time before I finally bought a test.
So I guess you can say I knew, I was just in denial about it.
Can't very well deny it now, not with the bulging belly and all  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I had no idea with Rebecca-she was the withdrawl method gone wrong! lol
This time we had been using no protection for a few weeks, and a few days before my AF was due I tested with CB and got faint lines.
So in a nutshell NO I had no idea either times xxx |
