[wildhorses]

:shrug:

[billyskank]

[wildhorses]

2. yeah, right!!

:P:hi:

[billyskank]

3. You doubt me?

:loveya:

[wildhorses]

4. well, not you but, maybe the contents of your story I would find

[billyskank]

5. Fairenoughski

[wildhorses]

10. ....

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

6. About 6 weeks.

That's when this total coffee lover started puking her guts out at even the MENTION of coffee. 26 years later, hey, it's all good!

[wildhorses]

8. so it was the puking and the smells

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

7. Are we expecting a pony ?

:)

[wildhorses]

9. good lord,man!! let us NOT go there!!

but, you guys would be the FIRST to know...you will be able to tell by the OMG thread started by one certain wildhorses!!

I swear I tell you guys everything...and I was one private mofo before I found this place, weird, huh?

[billyskank]

11. So the day I see a thread by wildhorses entitled "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG"

I'll know what's afoot. ;)

[wildhorses]

12. IF you ever see a thread like that...

that would be the one...I guess you could call it a cyber announcement...but, I doubt you EVER see a thread like that started by me...

I was just having one of those insomnia type thinking moments...

[Spacemom]

13. I was about 3 weeks

I had missed my period (which was like clockwork) and my boobs hurt like hell. I was totally freaked out because it was the last thing on my mind. Kind of an "oops", but not in a bad way. Hubby and I had been married about a year and half by that time so we were ready.

Damn, did ya ask for a novel. Sorry. ;)

[wildhorses]

28. darling, that was a very nice reponse...

because YES I have seen novels posted on here;) and they go on and on and on:crazy:

[Maine-ah]

14. about 3 weeks.

I am now 34 weeks. Due in 6 weeks.

[wildhorses]

29. that is wonderful!!

:applause: you will have to post a pic with announcement :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. 16 months.

[wildhorses]

30. what?? oh yeah...You were pregnant with an alien

:silly::hi:

[Bucky]

54. Or perhaps an elephant

an unpleasant side effect of being screwed royally by Republicans is having that extra trunk to feed.

[BlueIris]

16. My mom swears she 'knew' at two weeks.

With all of her pregnancies.

[wildhorses]

31. but, How did she know?? what was the sensation??

was it a "quickening"...I think that is what it is called :shrug:

[Sequoia]

83. I knew at two weeks also.

My waist started to feel thicker and when I gain weight I always had my wasp waist.

[buddhamama]

17. four months

i continued to bleed oddly enough, and it wasn't until my fifth month that i began to show.

[wildhorses]

33. and so there were no other changes?

no morning sickness? no cravings? no breast tenderness? :shrug:

[buddhamama]

44. nope

no morning sickness, no cravings. my breat might have been tender, but not enough to cause me think i was pregnant.

[China_cat]

18. 8 cells

Every time. Along with nailing sex.

[wildhorses]

35. For Real??

what kind of position is that??:hi:

[China_cat]

55. Every time I have been pregnant

on the night I've conceived, I've had a dream that told me I was expecting, the gender and in 3 cases the deaths (1 miscarriage, 1 stillborn and 1 SIDS) of what I carried.

[wildhorses]

73. ...........

:hug:


thank you for sharing in this post. Very brave and generous of you.

[Sequoia]

84. Oh, I'm so sorry about those.

Wow.

[miss_american_pie]

19. Between five and six weeks

May I ask why you're asking? :shrug:

[wildhorses]

36. insomnia induced...I get off the wall...after a while

and my brain goes weird :crazy:

[purji]

20. about three weeks

I wasn't even late yet,I just woke up one morning and felt pregnant.
My Husband laughed at me that time (so did the nurse, until the test came back positive)
But when It happened again a couple of years later he didn't doubt it for a minute.

[wildhorses]

37. "felt" pregnant...can you define that??

did you get sick?:shrug: :hi:

[purji]

80. I didn't get sick

I cant really explain it,It was like the feeling you get when your on an elevator.I felt like that as soon as I opened my eyes that morning.
I don"t know why my mind instantly interpreted that as "I'm pregnant" but it did. The subconscious is a curious thing indeed!

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Unfortunately for me

when the doctor told me, at a routine check up. Doh! x(

:hug:

[wildhorses]

38. really...so you had no clue??

:hug::hi:

[AirmensMom]

22. About a week.

Not logical at all ... no morning sickness or anything ... I just KNEW. And I was right! :bounce: :woohoo:



Is there something you want to tell us? :shrug:

[wildhorses]

40. but, how did you just "know"??

and NO, there is nothing I want to tell...just midnight musings is all, well that and a couple of appletinis :crazy:

:hug::hi:

[AirmensMom]

62. I don't know.

I just did. :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

23. Almost 3 months

I had really irregular periods so that wasn't any great clue, and I felt fine.

[wildhorses]

41. so then...you knew because your belly was getting bigger?

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

57. That and the kicking sensation.

I didn't put on much weight early. Until 5 mos or so my pants were a bit tight, then :nuke: I just exploded. 45 lbs of weight gain by the time the kid was born.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear wildhorses.......

Back in the day.......

I had a very regular cycle......I even knew when I'd be ovulating!

I usually had strong suspicions about the time my next period was supposed to be showing up.....

And I'd go to the doctor within the first month, just to make sure.........

Remember, this was back in prehistoric times, before there were any in-home pregnancy tests!

And I was never wrong.......

Those were magical days too.....creating life was, for me at least, the highest, best physical thing I could do..........

I loved being pregnant......... :hug:

[wildhorses]

42. I think as a nurse you were very in tune with your body...

it is a magical thing isn't it? :loveya::hug:

[Deja Q]

25. Dunno. If I ever do get pregnant, I'll let you know.

:rofl:

But I do look 4 months pregnant right now...

[wildhorses]

43. You Do NOT!! You are one really good looking man!!

and I love your cat:loveya:

and when?? are you truly going to realize how totally sexy you truly are? :crazy:

you are sweet, funny, nerdy and cute as four buttons :silly:

:loveya::hug::loveya:

[Deja Q]

61. Oh, it's there - but I am working on it.

I did cheat a few times and ate a pound or so of battered shrimp, but I'm making up for it by exercising.

But if I stand up straight, the whole thing disappears. But I do need to exercise more frequently...

The day I realize I'm sexy is the day somebody can tolerate me, nerdy, 4 butts, and all. :blush:

:hug:

[wildhorses]

74. NOT butts, SILLY!!

BUTTONS....cute as 4 buttons...that is my HypnoToad:loveya:



and I just know that some day the right one will come along and kiss the toad and the prince will appear and you will live happily ever after;)

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. The one time I was pregnant, I knew about ten days into it.

I started getting breast tenderness and nausea. I didn't realize exactly what it was because it was nearly time for my period, but my dog Kara knew. She kept sniffing my abdomen and looking at me with a quizzical look. When I didn't get my period on time (I'm like clockwork), I got a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was sick as a dog until I terminated the pregnancy about eight weeks into it.

[wildhorses]

45. thank you so much for your honest and informative reponse.

:yourock::hug::headbang::hug::yourock:

[skygazer]

27. First and second times, about a month

The third time, I knew the next morning. I got up, looked at the calendar and said, "Uh oh."

Nine months later, my son was born. :)

[wildhorses]

46. that is so cool

:wow: you learned your body!! amazing how our body "talks" to us :wow:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

32. I hope to never have a serious answer to this question.

:evilgrin:

Got anything on your mind you'd like to spill, wildhorses? ;)

[wildhorses]

47. Nah.....just ruminating after a couple of appletinis...

it was late and very slow around here at the time I first posted :crazy:

:hug::hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. Gotta watch that alcohol.

;)

:hi:

[wildhorses]

50. u know it!!

2 of those things can kick my butt and after 4 :crazy:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. FOUR?

:rofl::rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

34. About 3 weeks. Suddenly I could not stand the smell of coffee.

And I love coffee!

[wildhorses]

49. thanks SG....

:hug::hi:


did you see posts #6 and #8 in this thread :crazy:

thanks for responding and late at night you were the only female, intelligent reponse I got:loveya:

[radwriter0555]

71. And CHICKEN. Chicken suddenly became the most VILE smell on the planet.

2 - 3 weeks into it all.

The second and 3rd time within 2 weeks... but both miscarried early, thank goodness. THEN I got an IUD and this will never happen again!

[nini]

39. I 'knew' right away

was proven correct about 2 weeks later.

[wildhorses]

52. but, how did you just "know"??

:shrug::hi:

was there a change in your body...something? were you sick? did smells affect you? were your breasts tender? was your heart "skipping"?

[nini]

56. It was intutiion.. that's the best way I can describe it

I never got the morning sickness or that stuff. A few months in I got the breast tenderness and the physical symptoms like that, but nothing related to nausea etc.

I never felt better in my life than I did when I was pregnant but not enough to do it again :D - One kid was enough.

[Bucky]

53. 16 years. It's only now coming clear who this girl sharing my fridge is.

All I can say is, someone's got a LOT of 'splainin' to do.

[wildhorses]

76. you are SO FUNNY!!

:spray::rofl::loveya:

[fortyfeetunder]

58. 4-6 weeks

No morning sickness, none of the obvious signs (very irregular cycles), but always sleepy. Went on a shopping trip and felt the overwhelming need to crash and nap. Then I took the test....voila!

[momophile]

59. two weeks. I swear.

it was planned so I was looking for signs. then the signs came - sore breasts, tightening of insides, just a general feeling of being 'different.'

[Left Is Write]

60. Which time?

[shanti]

63. a couple of times

(i have four), i knew at the moment of conception. sure did....

[Jade Fox]

64. A friend claims.....

she knew the next day. Not just intuitively either. She says she felt different physically.

[NC_Nurse]

65. Each time was different.

I knew right away with the third child. I was taking my temperature and it went up immediately.
Actually, we were trying "natural birth control" - not very successfully obviously! My husband wasn't very cooperative...
I got a great son out of it tho! :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

66. The first time, about 3 months; the second (11 years later) about 3 weeks.

I thought I had the flu the first time, because I was on the pill. No one told me that antibiotics, which I'd taken a few months earlier for an infection, can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Ah well...He was a sweet little accident!

[clyrc]

67. 2 weeks for the first one, 3 for the second, 2 for the third

It took so long with the second one because I was strangely in denial, but the stomach upset, insane craving for beef, and late period should have told me. I only have two children, though, because I lost the 3rd one seven weeks into the pregnancy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. With my daughter, I was about 3 months, because I was young and

wasn't looking for "signs". With my son, it was about 5 days before I missed my period. I wasn't feeling "right". I was a little bit sick, I could smell metal in the water when I took a shower ( I kid you not) and my head was "fuzzy"... I took a test, got a plus and confirmed with the dr. that day. (we had a lot of misses so I had a standing appt. whenever the test came in positive) :hi:

[lildreamer316]

69. You do not want to ask me that.

ak.Sorry.


















(5 months)
(DON'T KILL ME)

[wildhorses]

77. bless your heart, why on earth would I want to kill ya??

:hug:Ilovesya lildreamer316:loveya:

[lildreamer316]

87. well...I mean...

..I was so embarrased....I mean, how could I NOT know????
But...I didn't.
Thanks. And...here's to ya!:toast:

[LaraMN]

70. With the first, four-ish weeks, the other two, three-ish weeks.

After the first baby, I recognized this weird sick feeling that was unlike anything unrelated to pregnancy that I had experienced. With my last, it was a surprise, and it hit in a near-instant. I remember being in the car driving, and suddenly thinking, "oh no...I feel pregnant."

[bridgit]

72. congrat'z honey!!

:bounce:

[wildhorses]

75. Good Grief....NO WAY JOSE!!

just a couple of midnight musings....and appletinis :crazy:

[Karenca]

78. immediately. eom

[tigereye]

79. I think a week

I just knew....

[Fleshdancer]

81. 4-5 weeks

When my period was 4 days late I took a test to confirm my suspicions.

[begin_within]

82. This reminds me of something that happened on "Family Feud"

During the "bonus round," where Richard Dawson asks a series of 5 questions to one contestant, and it starts with "100 people surveyed...," Richard said, "In what month do most women start to show signs of their pregnancy." The nervous woman who had to answer blurted out, "September!" and Richard Dawson had to stop the show until he recovered his composure.

[Sequoia]

85. That was a funny one!

[RubyDuby in GA]

86. About 4 or 5 weeks

I had just had surgery removing my right ovary in mid August of last year. I got married one month later and we headed out on the honeymoon. Hurricane Rita (then just a little ol' tropical storm) came blowing through the Bahamas so we had to stay inside :)

About 4 or 5 weeks later, we're having dinner with a friend and I mention to her that I thought I was coming down with something because I'd been a bit queasy that morning. She looked at me for a second and then she said nah you're just pregnant. I told her I couldn't be. She said - look your boobs are huge. Are they sore? You're just having morning sickness. I told her she was crazy.

Then that night we had been thinking that it had been a while since I'd had a period so on a whim we went and got a pregnancy test. Holy shit - she was right.

Isn't Carter Dean a beautiful baby?

[Blue Diadem]

88. I used to say at the moment of conception..

because I was :puke: before it was even time for me to have a period.

That's how I always knew..I'd get a smell of some food(different for each kid) and start gagging and think OMG I'm pregnant.

[politicat]

89. I think I knew when I conceived; something felt wrong all of a sudden.

I knew about three weeks later when my stomach started trying to forcibly remove itself from my body and get a separate mailing address for the duration.

Pregnancy was highly unkind to me, and I'm actually quite glad that my body said no way, no how and that since then, we've not had to worry.

Vasectomies are a great gift to women who like men....
