I was just wondering what was everyone's first sign that they had a hunch they might be pregnant, and took a pregnancy test and it turned out to be a BFP? my first sign was actually cramps in my stomach, which was actually pregnancy pains! and i also had mood swings big time!! especially at work! my co worker would laugh at me and tell me i was pregnant and i would just blow them off, like ya right. turns out they were right!

When I noticed in December, I had a stomach flu for a few days. It went away but a week later I was throwing up every few days. Then I remembered that I should have had my period. One big sign that something was different was my sense of smell. I couldnt stand cig smoke even though I was a smoker. I decided to get a test and I found out two days after Christmas.

My first sign was that I would wake up feeling sick. I would get sick to my stomach and have to vomit. Sometimes I would vomit up to three times a day. I thought I was probably pregnant and when I missed my period I knew I was. I took a home pregnancy test but the results were not clear. My boyfriend told me he knew I was pregnant before I even took the test or missed my period. It was weird after I told him I wasn't feeling good he said " Oh yeah that's because your pregnant." I was surprized I had been thinking I was pregnant and I hadn't told him yet. I later asked him how he knew and he didn't know he just said that he had a gut feeling.

This may sound stupid, but I just knew. At the time I fell pregnant I was undergoing tests to determine the exact cause of infertility and udnergo treatment. On the day of my scheduled internal ultrasound I had a "funny feeling" I couldnt explain so I did a test that was positive. I went and had the test and tehy said I had a think lining. LOL Yup, my son is now eight months old :D

I thought I had the stomache flu with my first child.. when the symptoms continued ie.. throwing up I thought an ulcer LOL .. I had two very small periods at first so that was not an indicator... It was when my boobs got sooo sore that I could not roll over on them, that the light went off in my brain.

When I was pregnant with Jeremiah. I thought I had the stomach flu. I couldn't get out of bed without getting sick. Then I finally went to the hospital and they made me take a pregnancy test, and it came back positive.

I was tired all the time when I was pregnant with my son. I didn't really think too much about it, though, because I got pregnant on my honeymoon and moved 1000 miles away a week later. So of course during the early stages of pregnancy we were setting up house and shopping and doing all the regular stuff that comes with moving. Well, actually, even more because we bought so much stuff because we didn't want to haul it all that way. I would go to bed at 10 pm, get up and fix my husband breakfast at 6, and go back to bed until he came home for lunch at 11 almost everyday! He suspected I was pregnant before I did. The day I took the test I was up throwing up, too. That was a sure sign as well.

I figured somthing was wrong when I started crying because I ran out of clean socks and I didnt have enough time to go do my laundry and I just cried cried cried and cried over a pair of unclean socks!! Very funny now that I think back at it I never thought somthing so little could change your mood so quickly!! It was def. all worth the mood swings and arguments though!!

We were trying to get pregnant. I hadn't been sick or anything. I was just a week late and I knew I had to be pregnant cause I was never late.

For my 1st it was my chest, they killed, even to walk. Then for my second, my milk had run dry as my son was 8 month old and I was still feeding him. Also I was late, but had put that down to my periods just starting back up.

I felt cramp like pains or maybe it was more like a sharp pain rather than cramp but I felt it with both of my children. Mood swings were around too, though I think I had more with my first.

Funny! but it wasn't me who had the notion that i was pregnant it was my husband. He just said that he thinks Im pregnant coz i was always dizzy...(but i always feel that way before due to my insomnia and due to my astigmatism) he insist that i am so I took the test and it turned out true! I cried.... hahaha
