Hello,

About a week or two after ovulation I had a vivid nightmare and the last time I had a nightmare I was pregnant so I said to my husband oh I must be pregnant and we laughed it off...

I'm seven weeks pregnant on Saturday haha

What's your weirdest "I'm pregnant" thought?

I had HG during my entire first pregnancy, started 2 days after missed period and carried on until the day of the birth , vomiting 6-16 times every single day of the pregnancy .

2 years later I opened the door to the washing machine repair man , he had been smoking , I threw up immediately and thought ‘ here we go again ‘ .... period due that day .

I was unbelievably tired. Like fall asleep in your dinner tired. Took a test the next day and sure enough. That was the same for both of my pregnancies.

Leaking boobs. I woke up with wet patches on my nightie. I thought that was strange. Then, when I was at work a little lad kept following me around and wouldn’t leave me alone. He was about 3. It’s like he was drawn to me.
I bought a test but nothing showed up. Waited a few days, bingo! She’s 10 now.

I was just bored and had like 20 cheap tests from China so I thought lol periods about due some time round now, let's pee on a stick. No idea why I bothered, we only dtd once the month I got pregnant lol 😂

Felt really dizzy.
Was in work after the summer holidays and was having a busy day but felt really dizzy all day. Period was 4 days late which was pretty normal for me.

SpillTheTeaa · 04/06/2020 07:59

I had a feeling of sickness in the evening for about a week. It would last about an hour.

Katbaby · 04/06/2020 08:22

I had terrible period pain and then 1 day of spotting then nothing.. The thought of eating apples knocked me feeling sick. Waited a week from the 1 day bleed and bingo. Was 3w+3 when I got my positive! I'm 10+2 now. Been a looong first trimester!

kemosabeimalone · 04/06/2020 08:25

A bit of spotting a few days before my period would have been due. I had this with two of my three pregnancies.

SkylinesTurnstiles · 04/06/2020 08:30

4 weeks, found out I was pregnant the next day... Aside from normal signs my period maybe coming (sore boobs, grumpy etc) one thing I did notice which was out the blue was my appendix scar was hurting/tingling for some reason.. and I also ate 3 ice lollies which is strange because I hate ice lollies normally- haven’t touched one since actually haha.

I could smell the KFC shop from across the park, probably 300m away. I never had before.

SquigglyOne · 04/06/2020 09:14

I gave my SIL a hug and realised my boobs really hurt - took a test the next morning and got a BFP

MeadowHay · 04/06/2020 09:16

Missed period, nothing exciting! I was using Fertility Friend to track my cycles. They were never exactly the same length but when it was clear I was more than a week overdue I took a test and the rest is history! We were trying for about 6 months so not a total surprise.

permanentlyshattered1 · 04/06/2020 10:05

Had the sorest boobs ever, way worse than normal. Opened the fridge and could smell the garlic bread so strongly that I had to close it again before I was sick.

BakewellGin1 · 04/06/2020 10:08

First time no amount of sleep made me feel less tired... Then I went off coffee Confused

The second a nosebleed

sprinklesone · 04/06/2020 10:10

Feeling sick. Did a test couple of days after period at 5 weeks pregnant. Positive. Felt fine. Week after felt like I'd been hit by a train. Twins too 😂

Jeleste · 04/06/2020 10:12

I woke up about 10 times at night to go to the bathroom. Took a test in the morning and was pregnant.

linerforlife · 04/06/2020 10:12

Heartburn at about 1 week pregnant! I never get heartburn!!!

Crystal87 · 04/06/2020 10:13

Always had a tingling left nipple with all four of my kids' pregnancies and a really stood out vein on my that breast long before I'd missed a period or felt any sickness.

October2020 · 04/06/2020 10:14

Cramps but no bleeding.
Now 20 weeks and still don't really 'feel' pregnant so if you're someone reading this and worrying that you dont have all these symptoms, don't panic!
I did feel sick and exhausted and sore nipples etc but nothing that I wouldn't have brushed off until very late in the prefnany without knowing otherwise. Never understood before how women get to 40 weeks without knowing - now I'm pregnant I can easily understand how you could get to halfway at least!

Chwil20 · 04/06/2020 10:14

Veiny boobs

Crystal87 · 04/06/2020 10:15

And last time I had intense cravings for battered sausages, one of other pregnancies was omelettes from the chippy

shellby28 · 04/06/2020 10:15

Going to the toilet every 5 minutes because I kept feeling like my period had arrived.

Then my colleague had a salad with a big chunk of lemon in it and I just HAD to eat it. That's when my little office all went Hmm

Yellowbeansontoast · 04/06/2020 10:29

Broke down crying hysterically whilst revising for my uni exams. I never cry, so I knew straight away.

badtime · 04/06/2020 10:34

Burping. Lots of burping.

October2020 · 04/06/2020 10:34

@yellowbeansontoast you've reminded me that I had a massive crying meltdown the night before I tested... I cry a lot but even for me it was an overreaction!
