Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP?

I really thing I am pregnant again and have not taking a test yet waiting till Sat morning so hubby is home

If so what gave it away?

I got the gut feeling and dear god the pregnancy fart!!!

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others?

i should be about 5 week but i feel pregnant, peeing like crazy no M/S but I never had it with my first but i do have a very sensitive gag reflex like the first

No, I didn't know I was pregnant. We were trying but didn't have any symptoms until a week after the BFP. I tested because I hadn't started my period and we were going on vacation and I wanted to know if I should pack tampons. Lol!

This is just a different pregnancy all around. I had no nausea with my first pregnancy and second was mild. This has had more nausea but don't have the breast soreness or dizziness that I had with the others. Symptoms for my first two actually started earlier (I felt lightheaded and just a bit odd even before missed period)

ETA: hope you are pregnant! GL!!

I tested at about 10 dpo because my boobs were really sore and well, we were trying, so I couldn't wait any longer to test!

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP? I didn't *know* but I guess I wasn't that surprised at the bfp. I had a few signs but they were different than the first time.

If so what gave it away? I had the smell thing (which I'd never actually experienced before).

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others? nope. with #1 I felt slightly nauseated from 5 weeks on. this time I was totally fine till exactly 6 weeks and it hit me like a mack truck. I also had h/b last time from before the bfp but didn't have it this time.

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP? I didn't know but I was pretty sure

If so what gave it away? With Max I had a terrible pain in my shoulder due to a prior surgery on my ovary (apparently the scar tissue is right on a nerve that is where implantation occurs so it makes it hypersensitive) and I started getting that pain along with implantation cramping. The cramping was on the right side and left side when period cramping is only ever on the left (because I don't have a right ovary)...once the cramping started, coupled with the shoulder pain, I knew I was KU it was just a matter of waiting till I was far enough out from ovulation to test!

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others? nah, I just looked at my blog that I kept as a journal during my first pregnancy and I started feeling sickly at 5 weeks 3 days. I'm still feeling kind of ok at this point.

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP?

I had a feeling from the night we conceived!! (Major BC failure after too much to drink!) It irked me for weeks and I finally POAS for my BFP

If so what gave it away?

I had no symptoms at all until the BFP. Hmm, mind over matter?!?

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others?

I am so overwhelmingly tired that I can barely make it through the day! Boobs are already HUGE and some of my pants already don't fit! I really think I'm starting to show already, which isn't unlikely since DS is barely 7 months.

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP? With both #2 and #3, I knew before I tested that I was pregnant. If so what gave it away? With #2, my boobs were weirdly sensitive. With #3, I was very crampy. And with all 3 kids, I would have to get up in the middle of the night to eat (that's a dead giveaway for me). Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others? Yes, with #1 I didn't have any symptoms until I was 7 weeks. With #2 it was sooner, probably 4-5 weeks and with #3 I was having symptoms before I tested at 3w3d.

raceyrae · July 2011

Yes, with both DD#2 and with this most recent pg. I got the achy pelvic feeling about 10 DPO or so that stuck/has stuck with me. Different feeling than PMS cramps. With DD#2, I got implantation bleeding (as I did with DD#1 although not with this one) around 10-12 DPO.

I felt pg faster with DD#2 due to my starting to show earlier and having to move to maternity clothes sooner -- my abs just didn't hold it back as well.

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP?

Yes, I knew.

If so what gave it away?

Crazy vivid dreams, gas and an overall feeling of being pregnant

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others?

Yes, I feel very pregnant and last time I didn't feel that way until 10-12 weeks.

sparks2987 · July 2011

I had no clue, the cramps, sore boobs and tiredness I thought was all just PMS, I was 3 weeks late before I got up the nerve to test, and I only tested because we were going out for a friends birthday and I wanted to know if it was safe to drink. This is my first and I am 9 weeks 4 days, and I dont feel pregnant just like I have the flu or something.

LysYoung0578 · July 2011

1^st DS-no, not until I took a test, then as soon as I knew I had m/s horribly.

2^nd DS-yes, the next morning I woke up throwing up in the toilet and thats when I knew?. Also the day before I did feel nauseated and wasn?t able to have drinks for a going away party, but I didn?t think anything of it, I guess since it was a busy day. I found out about the same time around 6-8 weeks with both boys. Don?t really remember a change of anything like showing faster, I was smaller the second time around but that was it.

3^rd Pregnancy-yes, I hadn?t started yet and for some reason just knew. I have nausea and dizzy at times but food seems to keep the nausea down, but I can really feel the hormones and the change in my body being pregnant, plus I have my lil bloat where I can't buckle my pants while sitting down.

Angel002 · July 2011

(FYI, this will be my 3rd)

Did you know you where pregnant before you got you BFP?

I had a feeling, I'm pretty in tune with my body and I'm never a day late on my af, I was SUPER SUPER tired and 2 days after af (I thought maybe since I was bfeeding it was a bit off) I took a test...and YUP!

If so what gave it away?

I was extremely tired but I didn't realize that until after BFP (thinking back). I am pretty on mark with my period so I knew when I missed (even though we weren't trying to get pg).

Did you feel pregnant a lot sooner with your 2+ child that the first/others?

I can't say. I got sicker a lot earlier with my first. I think my first sign has always been extreme sleepiness.

JhawkCE · July 2011

I felt really sick, but I was bleeding so I thought it was my period. Then I woke up the third morning and it had stopped and suddenly all my symptoms clicked. I knew the answer before I saw it.

It was just the exhaustion and the nausea.

My first was a complete surprise and I only took a test because I was like 4 days late. Honestly I'm not real regular so you could have nailed my head to the floor when it came up positive. I was not expecting that and I didn't start with the symptoms for a couple of weeks. They are a lot worse this time (foreshadowing anyone??)

Just an FYI but "mammie" or "mammy" has racist connotations. I'm sure you were unaware but just an FYI.

mommybrynn · July 2011

I had a strong feeling, the test thing really gave it away for me, haha

I found out a LOT sooner, I was only 3 wks. 3 days and with DD I was at least 3-4 days late before I got my BFP.

I'm just a lurker but that is exactly the reason why I opened this post. I'm sure the person who wrote the post didn't mean it with a racist undertone [at least I hope not]. Kgrl21 is correct. It is a racist term and as an African American woman, it is an offensive and racist term.

I opened it for the same reason. I read the title twice trying to understand exactly what was meant cuz I was confused! And no one seemed to notice anything off about it.
