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?

Heightened smells for me. I remember brushing past my hanging basket on my way out and the sheer smell of the flowers making me queasy. I was about 4weeks at the time.

NEE1302 · 04/06/2020 17:13

I was sick as a dog.

Breast pain radiating out to armpits.

Just "feeling" pregnant.

CatWhisperer86 · 04/06/2020 18:09

Peeing at an abnormal frequency. Literally every five/ten minutes for a good 24 hours each time.

This time around I also had a snotty teary meltdown over seeing people in a pub on a tv show one Friday night because me and OH were sat on the sofa... I’m a homebody at the best of times and virtually never cry! Poor OH was completely bewildered. I found out I was pregnant on the Sunday and it all made sense then lol.

Tiredness and completely went off tea the milk tasted sour.

TreesoftheField · 04/06/2020 18:15

Super sense of smell. Wanting to vomit everytime I opened the fridge

Carouselfish · 04/06/2020 18:19

Feeling like Id been punched in the uterus! Went to doc as really worried something wrong and found I was pregnant! Am 39 and had started trying for second DC and it was immediate so just wasn't expecting it!

Elladisenchanted · 04/06/2020 18:20

4 pregnancies, extreme exhaustion each time. The 4th was a contraceptive failure, and the only reason I took a test was because I was so tired I kept conking out and sleeping massive amounts and I said to dh I've only ever been this tired when pregnant... Famous last words there!

Just knew, every time.

(Four times, two children).

Onthedancefloor · 04/06/2020 18:33

Complete exhaustion, going off wine, needing to go to toilet in night

Colouringinbook · 04/06/2020 18:39

Random crying over bagels.

OrDis · 04/06/2020 18:42

Didnt have my usual PMS. We’d been ttc for a couple of months and thats how I first suspected that it might have caught!! I was right!

ThePurpleMoose · 04/06/2020 18:42

I was convinced my period was going to arrive the next day as I felt exactly the same way I would normally. I took a test in the morning just in case, fully expecting it to be negative, but there it was!

Then I felt nothing much for a week or two, followed by a brief but intense craving for cheese, and then the nausea and exhaustion hit 🤢

Chl00 · 04/06/2020 19:40

I was on holiday drinking cocktails and got heartburn so stopped and got worse 😂

Esspee · 04/06/2020 19:43

A horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Both pregnancies.

Cherryrainbow · 04/06/2020 19:53

Probably only me, but literally days after the big event I just had this feeling something was different!
It was similar to when I was pregnant with my first child, I just had this feeling to take a pregnancy test. I tested positive around 5 weeks on both pregnancys.

HerondaleDucks · 04/06/2020 20:11

I was 2 weeks late. Didn't feel pregnant at all. So my first sign was a positive test.

ElectricTonight · 04/06/2020 20:13

Defo nightmares/ vivid dreams and really strong sense of smell.

Nat6999 · 04/06/2020 20:21

Being in the worst mood ever, I could have committed mass murder without blinking, I told my then husband to f@@k off & get out of my life.

Reader1984 · 04/06/2020 20:24

I stopped drinking tea one day. And I love tea! I didn't start drinking it again until after DC was born. Very strange!

usersouthcoast · 04/06/2020 20:28

A positive pregnancy test.

elp30 · 04/06/2020 20:49

With the first, I dreamt that my mother gave me a parcel to look after and that it was "very special". My mother died when I was a child so it was weird to have that dream. I called my sister and she said that when she was expecting her first child, she had a dream about our mother too. In hers, she had to collect something. I took a test after that call and it was positive. Woo woo or what?

With the second, I could identify smells from a distance. My neighbor, four houses away, would cook a stir fry with her window open and I could identify everything in it. It was odd and that was my sign.

With my last, I had no signs. I just woke up one morning and thought I should take a pregnancy test. I had very irregular periods so that seemed weird to me that I had that thought. I bought the test and voila!

Marsupialsss · 04/06/2020 21:01

Cramps! And I just had a feeling.

Currently had a week of cramps and tingling nipples (although still breastfeeding so could be due to that), going to take a test tomorrow!

The metallic taste in my mouth.
