Did anyone 'just know' they were pregnant before testing?

I've heard lots of people in real life mention that they 'just knew' they were pregnant. Did anyone on here feel that? And were the right or wrong??

I suspected with both my children and wasn't surprised at all, more 'thought so', but not sure I ever definitely 'knew' before testing.
I was however certain from the moment I found out that they were both girls, and they were.

Did anyone 'just know' and how often were you right or wrong?

Yes, my period was a week late though, so I did have a bit of a clue! :)

Yep 'off' wine for me too.

Every time, within days, what with the raging PMS symptoms, and bloodhound-like sense of smell.

I had no idea with DD- a total shock. I'd consumed quite a lot a wine a few days before and thought I had a long lasting hangover.

I had an incline the second time I was pregnant but sadly MC'd.

We were travelling back from France before I found out I was pregnant with DS. I was only 10dpo but I felt really acidic. I didn't tell DH. I arrived home and had a test in the drawer. I was so convinced. I didn't even look at the test- I handed it to DH and said 'there you go!'

I was so certain with dc3 that I didn't bother with a pregnancy test

MyballsareSandy · 15/12/2014 22:53

I had an idea when I sent DH back to the bar with a glass of "off" wine, and the second one tasted just as foul. I've never turned down a glass of wine in my life!

I felt pregnant with DC1, but didn't recognise this as pregnancy because it was the first time. The next 2 times, I knew the signs which kicked in several days before my period was due. With DS, I had been planning on starting to TTC the following month and had been lax with contraception but woke up one morning feeling pregnant and after I'd been up for half an hour or so I was so certain I was pregnant that I went out and bought a test which was positive.

I am also certain that I was briefly pregnant one other time, but I was travelling and didn't do a test before it was all over.

I got two negative tests but "knew", then got a positive result just before my 12 week scan as I was terrified they'd scan and find nothing there

I 'knew' but not in a woo, psychic, woolly kind of way. I know my body and I felt implantation, the changing hormones made me feel v different too. It was the strangest feeling. I've been pregnant 4 times and knew from 9dpo with certainty each time.

I also know when I'm ovulating, which side the egg is being released from etc. I had a coil for a while and it was excruciatingly painful. I think I probably have a Sensitive Uterus or some such nonsense.

I knew 100% before testing with my 2nd. Tested a few days early to check and got a faint like. Knew it was a boy too.

I knew I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I went for a walk and could smell everything really intensely. We went out for dinner & I had to ask the waiters to take the olives off our table as they smelled so strongly.

LookImStuckInTheChimney · 15/12/2014 22:35

Yes I was certain and 'just knew' the moment I bought the test.

I don't know anything was wrong Xmas Grin
