Things that have validated your pregnancy

awc1986 · September 2013

Obviously we've all POAS and some of us have met our little beans on an u/s, but is there anything that's happened (apart from obvious symptoms like ms and sore boobs) that's completely unique and had made you think "yep. Definitely preggers!" ?

I just had dinner. It consisted of Doritos dipped in ketchup. For some reason it works but that just makes me think "yep. Preggers!"

CoCo1520 · September 2013

I am not usually too picky but now I want food a certain way or no way at all! And the fact that coffee my beloved coffee does nothing for me any more that was a dead ringer for me.

dp1320 · September 2013

The fact that he smell of coffee makes me sick now and that I had an egg salad sandwich for "dessert" the other night... Before my ms was in full force ...

I am a vegetarian and before I knew I was pregnant, I started craving red meat which hasn't ever really happened. Also, I used to have a huge appetite and not be that picky but now I have a smaller appetite and am really picky with what I eat.

kflynn81 · September 2013

Everything tastes weird... Not bad just weird. Biggest change is along the same lines of what CoCo said about coffee ... I'm a couple cups a day drinker and even though I was told a small cup a day (or decaf) is ok I keep trying to drink it and it just tastes funny. I'm definitely preferring hot tea instead which I normally don't like!! Strange!!

Dubski · September 2013

Every night I can't have a glass of wine I think "yep". My husband brought me an "amlosa" this morning (almost a real mimosa).

Otherwise it was the macaroni salad and pistachios that solidified it.

Peaceb0ne · September 2013

I was freaking out the night before my first ultrasound. I was worried that I would go in and they wouldn't see anything and that I wasn't actually pregnant.

Then, as I was laying down, I noticed that I felt full in my abdomen, like there really was something there. I just feel like I'm pregnant and a baby is growing. I know that I could be imagining it, but it provides me comfort whenever I start to doubt that I'm really still pregnant.

My sore boobs keep reminding me, but other then that nothing!!! I'm still looking at the pregnancy test so it feels real. Can't wait for my doctors appt!

Tkhixen · September 2013

I knew I was pregnant cause my fingers were swelling and I couldn't wear my wedding rings! It happened last pregnancy too! And I couldn't drink my beer... And that never happens!

Magpie314 · September 2013

The entire grocery store smells like fish. I don't know why I bother to POAS anymore. I should just wait until all I can smell is the seafood department at the grocery store.

Oh, and the hyper-emesis is a fairly good indication too. :P

dollface777 · September 2013

Everything stinks. My house, my perfume, my fridge, my bathroom, the bedroom, the car, the mall.... ugh. That's when I thought "yep, definitely pregnant"

raeg13 · September 2013

I LOVE meat, especially red meat. I have not been able to eat any red meat, and have only been able to stomach chicken on a few occasions. That's definitely validation for me.

Ashleea439 · September 2013

The sight of French fries makes me want to run to the bathroom and hurl. Not to mention I have already gone through a box of bomb pops, which I haven't had since I was a teenager.

Mikki62 · September 2013

I only want certain foods and go from starving to full with very little food. Then I'm hungry again about an hour later.

deanna1313 · September 2013

@mikki62 that's the only thing I noticed that was different with my eating. I can full so quickly. I'm not sick otherwise, but I still think my body is telling me to take it easy on the food. Lol

Magheeta · September 2013

I've lost my sweet tooth, and just want bland food. I love all kinds of food, and now it's just boring to me.

chargers32 · September 2013

I am starving, but nothing sounds good. Theb when I finally think of something I want and DH or I make it, the thought of it is repulsing and i feel sick! I end up eating it, but I rarely enjoy anything, food wise

TheLordsCanary · September 2013

This morning I ate plain Greek yogurt mixed with wild rice, pecans, and honey because that was the only thing that seemed like it wouldn't make me sick. And I fluctuate between no appetite and absolutely ravenous for no reason.

Knovak23 · September 2013

Morning sickness and throwing up. I see it as a good sign - definitely pregnant! Oh and the laziness! So lazy and that's not how i normally am. I'm usually a busy body.

Marcella05 · September 2013

Morning sickness triggered by motion sickness when I drive. Plus, serious emotional responses that weren't a problem pre-pregnancy.

Eli34 · September 2013

The thought of chocolate makes me feel sick! DEFINITELY pregnant

Hedgessm · September 2013

I just ate icing out of the container with no guilt. Yup prego

MrsT2008 · September 2013

Today I was craving carrot sticks with ranch dressing to dip them in. I never ever ever. EVER. crave vegetables. Ever. MH was even like "wait, you want what?!" when I told him.

katesy21 · September 2013

I'm usually a huge fan of fall/pumpkin everything but right now the thought of pumpkin makes me want to puke... defnitely pregnant!

sarahlynnc317 · September 2013

Avocado craving.......I'm mildly allergic and it is what I wanted to eat with my last one!

krlovell · September 2013

When I couldn't stay awake after work, and my DS is saying come on mommy, Yupp prego! I can smell everything!!! And I wish things smelled good but everything smells terrible! Now when people come to my house I'm afraid they think we don't clean or something because if I think my house stinks I can only imagine what they think lol! I know it's just me but still!

Lrlynch04 · September 2013

Tonight. All of tonight. Heartburn, gas, and nausea. I'll take every second of it! But definitely preggo!

Teneniel · September 2013

Bloat. So much bloat.

Jessicasmalley · September 2013

When I licked my finger after picking up my favorite kind of cupcake a drug rep brought me and I almost puked all over the table. Sweets are horrible right now!

jessicastanley · September 2013

Sore boobs and constipation! That and utter exhaustion. Oh, and a never-ending desire to eat anything and everything that has cheese in it. I had horrible morning sickness with my DD, so this will be a nice change if it continues. Now I have to figure out how to stop stuffing my face....

Anything that is candy/cookie/cake/frosting/chocolate related does NOT go near my mouth! But for some reason, I'm LOVING Cheerwine...weird?

JerseyGirl129 · September 2013

I'm up in the middle of the night right now with heartburn! Ha! Also so so so tired during the day.

Kate070 · September 2013

Waking up 3 times a night to pee.

The thought of most food making me feel vaguely queasy, but then wanting something random. The other day I wanted a peanut butter sandwich (on sourdough). Normally I'd need that with jelly or something- PB alone would seem too bland- but OMG, it tasted incredible.

CoCo1520 · September 2013

We went out for dinner last night, DH and DD. I sat and stared at the menu imaging how the food would taste and feel in my mouth lol I ordered a Poutine which I had four bites if and gave the rest to DD I also ordered guacamole with chips had three chips and was done lol the people beside us got their food before us and the woman got pad Thai so I ordered that too lmfao I ate most of it lol yup def pregnant.

singing_lyn · September 2013

Can't eat anything sweet and I mean anything without feeling nauseous. had pizza with my extended family last night but it tasted so bland like my taste buds were acting up. And my favorite most comfortable jeans now feel like they cut into my stomach.

And foods I want so bad one second make me feel so sick 15 minutes later.

meltreadway · September 2013

Crying and eating frozen yogurt while watching Knocked Up. Whaaaaa?

JaimeB979 · September 2013

I've definitely got the sore boobs and the gas/constipation, but most noticeably different-all I want to eat is junk food. Chips, ice cream, mac n cheese. Nothing else sounds good. I had been doing pretty well with clean eating prior to this too.
