To not take a pregnancy test

Last pregnancy lasted forbloodyever. If my suspicion is correct and I ignore it for a bit then I can get an extra few weeks not "knowing".

I can just get on with my life and be tired because of work and a toddler and not because of work a toddler and a pregnancy, I can drink coffee without DP raising eyebrows and waiving decaf in my face, and I won't have DM calling to see how I'm feeling 20 times a day. Oh and I can put off worrying how I'm going to juggle a full time job and 2 kids under 3.

Yanbu. Providing there is no reason you have to know there is no reasons you need to take a test until you are ready.

Just remember to take folic acid, because...youve read it can help with 'tiredness' Wink

Good point min it could only help! Also I will have a few early nights as I 'have a lot on at work and need to focus'

YANBU!
I got to excited with DD and found out 5 days before my period.
Never again.
It was the longest pregnancy ever. I was sick of talking about it.

Congratulations, yadbu.

Pregnancy lasts forever - officially. Keeping it to yourself for a few weeks is absolutely fine and gives you time to brace yourself. Although I have noticed (not from personal experience I must add) that people are much less full on about subsequent pregnancies so you might get lucky.
