I have absolutely CONVINCED myself that im pregnant...

[roz1982]

Even though i KNOW iypts highly unlikely...

I have a 9 month old son and recently i just feel like im pregnant again...me and dc are careful enough using condoms as contraceptive but im experiencing weird feelings and symptoms, like im really bloated and swollen and tender in abdominal area quite low down, im more tired than usual and i cannot stop weeing...the other day in work i almost got caught short!!! Also, rather moody and just feeling off! i have also had a nasty cough and cold similar to when i was early pregnant with ds.

I know its really unlikely but im just convinced...

Did a trest last thursday and was neg but it really would be early days, not due period til another week or so...its driving me mad!!!

blimey.

Are we looking for a BFP or rooting for an unequivocal neg?

Sorry im not really asking anything there...does this sound familiar to anyone else as signs of early pregnancy?? If the test was neg is it unlikely that i am? Swear i feel like ive put on a stone in the last week its really freaking me out!

Nagoo i dont know!! If i am its completely umplanned...i cant stop thinking about it! Work would freak out...

You might have a UTI?

Are you BFing? how are your periods? [clearlynotadoctor]

Yeah i might have thats a good thought...

No not bf periods have been fine...

I think i may be worrying uneccesarily, but you know when you just cant shake a feeling??

Have just looked at uti symptoms and could very well be that...doesnt account for the horrendous bloating though! Maybe have been indulging unknowingly!

When my ds3 was 9 months I had the exact same symptoms as you. I'm now 20 weeks pregnant

If you are still another week away from your period surely you were ovulating / had just ovulated a week ago?

It sounds like a UTI / run down to me, go see GP for a urine dip and see what they say.

Arrrghh dinosaurs really??!! Congratulations! Its a really weird feeling coz i sort of want to be but dont as well! Were you trying or was it accident?? X

Yes sundae i think that is much more likely to be the case. Ive just gone back to work as well so am stressed and shattered.

I felt similar when DS was 10 months too. For me, I think it was the hormones settling down. Hadn't been back with periods for long (due to bf), but was convinced I was pg. Had symptoms that only ever occurred when I was. My sister told me that she was convinced she was pregnant again after her DD. Think it's quite common. I tested a couple of weeks apart, both negative
