Did anyone know you were pregnant before you did?

I’ve been trying to conceive for 3 months. I got my nails done and the nail lady said she had a strong feeling I’m pregnant (I didn’t tell her we had been trying)
She said she’d guessed her daughter was before she knew herself, and a few friends. I said I don’t think so and she said let me know next time!
Has this happened to anyone else??

My friend rang me a few weeks back to tell me about her weird dream in which I was telling her I was obviously pregnant. Told her ehh I don't think so and conversation moved on. I was due my period the next day so later that night I thought I'd check just for fun and I was pregnant.
Only told her about it yesterday and she nearly wet herself with excitement that she knew it first 🤣

My 2 year old did. She suddenly started talking to me about having a baby in my tummy. At first I thought it was because a friend of ours was pregnant and she’d got the idea in her head but she was insistent and she was right. Even after we had it confirmed, we didn’t discuss it in front of her and yet she talked about it every day. Sadly it didn’t end well, and that was a hard conversation.

@teenagetantrums is it the fact you were eating salad that your friend thought you were? I’m worrying she just thought I was pregnant as I’ve put lockdown weight on and she was just trying to backtrack! Haha x

My friend told me l was. I was unusually wanting to eat salad and broccoli at lunchtime. I wasn't trying. She was right. That was 26 years ago..first born all grown up now.

Sat on me and wanted affection.

She usually only had eyes for MIL!

@Boringnamechanging I had a Costa this morning and I’ve felt so sick all day since having it.. I haven’t been able to eat for the rest of the day. I guessed it was as I had it on an empty stomach.

@TheBabyAteMyBrain did you know yourself by that point?

My morning coffee knew before me. I vomit at the smell of coffee before I've missed my period. Every time.

@WitsEnding how? I was a bit freaked out as I had a no hint I was trying. My wedding was cancelled due to covid so I said we had put it off x

The lollypop lady at the dcs school guessed when I was about 7 weeks along. She said my walk was different.

No, but I knew my stepdaughter was pregnant before she did.
