I was talking to a friend the other day and discussing our pregnancies. She said the one thing she remembers from first finding out she was pregnant was being asked 'Do you feel pregnant?' from her GP. We giggled over it because, never being pregnant before it seemed like a strange thing to ask.

Did anyone 'feel' pregnant before actually finding out they were? Obviously once you know you are pregnant then you look for movement and feelings, and they are there. With both my pregnancies I did not once feel like I was pregnant, and both times I discovered I was pregnant by accident.

The first time I had a lot of lower pain, and collapsed at work, thinking it was my apendix they doctors did a routine pregnancy test and discovered I was pregnant, and then changed the likely diagnosis to eptopic pregnancy, luckily it was neither those. The second time I went for an emergancy scan and blood tests with regards to a medical condition I had and discovered I was 19 weeks pregant lol

I think back and wonder if subconsciously I could have known I was pregnant but I really dont think it had ever crossed my mind, until I knew I was then I felt all the normal pregnancy related feelings.

I know Jen knew from the minute Amiee (I think it was Amiee might be Katie) was conceived that she was pregnant, and as soon as her af was missing a test confirmed it.

With my first i didnt know i was pregnant until i was 6 weeks, my grandad had just died so i kind of forgot about it till my appointment came through, but but bradley i knew i was pregnant 8 days before my period was due.. i waited till my period was late before doing a test, but still felt elated even though i already knew.. with bailey it was a little different as i had just gone on the pill in october, wasnt expecting to fall on that i thought my symptoms were because of the pill, but at 4 weeks it was confirmed.I ve only ever felt pregnant with bradley until i had the kicks etc, weird isnt it..

I never knew I was preg with my 1st DD. Dind't find out til I was 10 weeks.

With num2 I "knew" at about 5 weeks, just felt odd, thirsty and would get dizzy.

With 3rd baby, I knew I was within a month and had pregnancy confirmed with a home test at about 3 weeks gone. Can't explain it, I just "knew".

I genuinely thought I was hungover!

I went stomping around the house blaming my mates for being such a bad influence, Brett had hell of a time trying to convince me I could be pregnant.

Four positive tests later it slowly dawned on me I might be.

NB:  I'm not the sharpest tool in the box!

I had a feeling i was pg with Taylor due to the fact i stopped bleeding.. the contraceptive injection made me bleed 24/7, so that was a big hint.

With both Sophie and Jamie, i started getting heart palputations at around 4 weeks.. so i found out early with the girls
