Did you 'just know'?

I'm trying for my second child and am getting excited at the possibility that soon...I could be pregnant.

Curious - when any of you got pregnant - did you 'just' know? Like an intuition thing?

Freshly- I am in awe...
The only thing harder than a baby that I can imagine is a baby and a toddler!
Good luck xxx

To be fair to him - he's the best behaved boy you could ask for! A walk in the park. We think our 2nd will be like the kid out of the exorcist.

This may sound gross but I swear both times I fell pg the 'ejaculate' disappeared within minutes of completion. When I woke up the next day with ovulation pain I knew the egg would be hijacked quickly.

Freshly - I am very jealous. I definitely have the kid from the exorcist :-(

I knew when I looked in the mirror and realised my skin, which should have been going spotty ready for af was totally clear. We weren't trying particularly, but I had come off the pill and were using condoms and knowledge of my cycle and I knew we had dtd on a vaguely iffy day but I really shouldn't have been ovulating then. Didn't test for another week as was so sure I didn't need to, only did one cause DH wouldn't believe I could just know lol Grin she's 10 days old and asleep ony chest right now

Nope, not a clue. Didn't twig for nearly 12 weeks despite HG Shock (was on some fairly strong meds for a pituitary tumour whose side effects inc nausea and vomiting). I did however, 'just know' DS was a DS and I was right!

Ooh! My skin is very clear today ... Love these stories.

Hi everyone, I knew before I took a test! However I was a little further down the line as wasn't expecting to be pg (found out just before 6wks). Hubby and I were ttc very hard for about 5 months but it wasn't happening. From Aug we decided to relax a little as it was getting stressful.

However, at 5+2 I had some bad cramping and thought my period was on its way. I was completely drained. At 5+4 I woke up feeling a different person. I was so tired I felt like I was going to have to pull over in the car at one point. That's never happened to me before. Also had a mild sense of nausea bubbling under the surface. All of a sudden I felt I just knew. That prompted me to take a test that night and bam- bfp!

I tested late as my period can be up to a week late normally and just didn't expect it after trying so hard for months. It just goes to show it can sometimes come down to luck! I'm now 7+3 and still feeling the tiredness, nausea (though haven't been sick...yet!) and sore boobs. Looking back I also found it hard to sleep after what would have been 4 wks. I would wake up early in the morning and then just couldn't nod off again. Again, something I didn't experience before.

Good luck everyone! X

Well I still haven't got my period. Today is the day it's supposed to be here. But I did a test two days ago and it said it was negative.
I still feel like I am...... I have another test but bit scared to do it. I'm also very very very oddly frisky (I NEVER feel frisky) .......
