I Knew I Was Pregnant When....

Here are some of our favourite stories from women who knew for sure that they were pregnant due to these reasons.

A huge number of women claim to have known that they were pregnant long before a pregnancy test indicated the news. For some women it is due to certain symptoms they experienced. For others it was an inherent gut feeling. In fact many claim to “know” immediately after conception.
 
Here are some of our favourite stories from women who knew for sure that they were pregnant due to these reasons.
  • “I woke up to pee during the night”. For many people this is very normal but this mother completely associates it with pregnancy. “I just knew it”. A week later the pregnancy test confirmed it, but I knew from that night”.
  • “I cried watching a Home base ad”. When you are crying over paint there is a good chance your hormones are all over the place.
  • “I felt out of it. Kind of like I was watching myself walking around. Super self aware or something”. A lot of women can relate to this kind of feeling.
  • “My dreams were always about water and this always happens when I fall pregnant”. Wow, we kind of love this one!
  • “Taste. It's always about taste for me. Everything tasted like metal and my coffee literally tasted like there was dirt in it”.
  • “Anger. I am a pretty calm person. The sudden on set of RAGE was a clear indicator that I was pregnant”. Does anyone else see red when they are pregnant?
  • “I could smell a packet of crisps from a mile away. I knew the brand and flavour”. Super sense of smell is a very popular one.
  • “I get out of breath really easily. I remember telling my friend a story and becoming really breathless as I spoke. Then I hit me!”.
