How did you find out you were pregnant?

I found out the day before April’s Fools Day too! I had gone to the doctor the week prior because of a bad cough caused by what my doctor believed to be an infection. I had recently gotten off birth control and my doctor prescribed me antibiotics. I was SO nauseous from what I believed to be the medication but my husband was convinced I was pregnant even when I was sure I wasn’t! Turns out after three pregnancy tests later, he was right!

Also kind of funny (makes sense though) but our babies have the same due date!

Aw! That’s pretty cool that we found out the same day too lol. Do you know if you are having a boy or girl? ☺️

I had just given birth to my daughter in November but I was feeling the start of pregnancy. The tired, nauseous, the everything. I had gotten my period once since giving birth to her and I wasn’t on birth control yet. I hadn’t gotten it my period again yet and I thought there was no way I was pregnant AGAIN. Well sure enough I was. I took 2 Home pregnancy test and went to the doc. All three came up positive. I’m due on October 27th!

Congratulations mama 💕

My husband and I wanted a baby and on my 21st birthday I had the day off from work. I wasn’t feeling great, felt actually very crampy to a point where I thought I had a cyst! I asked my husband to pick up a test on his way home from work and we took the test and found out I was pregnant. We went to dinner afterward, I ordered a wine (for my husband: it was my 21st, I had to order alcohol since it was legal lol) and then scheduled our appointment!

My mother in law passed last January. She loved cardinal birds and called my husband and I her little cardinals (Our last name is Bird). We had been trying to conceive. We were outside one day and a red cardinal flew up to us. I had a feeling followed by flashbacks about possible symptoms I previously had and ran to buy a test. Cardinals are now in little places all around our house.

I went to eat seafood and it wouldn’t digest. I was constipated and was taking all kinds of things to use it. I woke up for work and threw up from Tom’s charcoal toothpaste and my mom felt I was pregnant. I took 4 pregnancy tests and was in disbelief after every test said positive. I criedddddddddddd and then took another and it came out 1 line but didn’t have a negative or positive result .. I was excited because I felt like I had hope... until that night, the test turned positive 😂😂😂

We were getting intimate and my discharge was different. I googled it and it said I might be pregnant. Later that day we took a test and found out we were pregnant.

I had missed my period, but had always gotten negative tests before taking the test. My fiancé wanted me to take a test because he said I was acting like I was pregnant. So I took the test, waited the minute or whatever it was, and when I saw it was positive I ran out to the living room, where he was, while nodding my head and grinning ear to ear. We were both so excited and I just kept hugging and kissing my SO.

I was tracking my cycle, and I knew J was getting close to getting my period. Went out for a margarita (or two!) with coworkers and I remember just feeling a little off. That weekend I took the test and I got my positive!

I was a week late for my period. Which was completely normal since my periods have always been crazy and never consistent. But I had a super strong feeling that I was pregnant. I took two tests that both were positive. Even though I knew I was, I still wanted to be sure even with both positive tests. So four positive tests later, it started to set in. I showed my husband all of the tests and he was speechless. We didn’t think we would ever conceive. It never fully set in until I said the words “I’m pregnant” to my boss a week later and I started crying so many happy tears. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

My period was messed up due to taking the implant out. So it hadn’t regulated itself yet and was going to be the third period after removal. I had spent 5 days partying in Ayia Napa with some friends and the fatigue was crazy, I just had this feeling and as soon as I landed I went straight the the Boyfs house, two pregnancy tests in hand and done a test. I kept acting weird and he caught me doing the second test, I just said he’s going to be a dad and its history from there. Had our first scan last week and baby is healthy and everything seems normal!

I found out on birthday. I was 2am and we were coming back from a long drive from LA and my husband made me take a pregnancy test but after multiple tries I was a bit hopeless. So i took it and placed it on top of the sink and left and my husband said to me "You're pregnant!" I thought he was joking so i went up to see and there it was 😊

I was on a 24 day cycle for as long as I could think of and used the natural fertility awareness method as contraception and it worked out just fine for me and my boyfriend for over 5 years. I had traveled a lot for work that month and it must have interfered with my cycle. I was one and a half days late and in the London tube on the way to work when I suddenly realised a shift in my hormones. I just felt different from one moment to another and I felt so happy that I just started crying and sobbing. I was the mad woman on the tube that morning but someone always has to be - London, innit? Baby wasn't planned at the time but I was overwhelmed by happiness when I realised. I waited until I got home and then took my boyfriend to the pharmacy where I bought folic acid and a pregnancy test. The lady at the counter asked me, whether I don't want to do the test first and get the folic acid after. I said well, the folic acid is for my baby and the test for my boyfriend 😂 I just knew ❤️

I had a dream I was so I took a test and boom! Lol

Loving all the stories. We only tied to get pregnant in the January and I found out I was pregnant in the February after only being off the Pill for 2 months. My partner was working away at the time I found out. I kinda knew I was as I was feeling extremely tired and really off my food! Which is very unlike me!! I was going to wait to test untill gav got back but I couldn’t wait and rang him that same day I found out. I took so many tests!!! We are now looking forward to welcoming our first baby into the world who just so happens to be a little girl and due 24/10/18 xx

We got in a car accident and I missed my pill for like three days due to the stress and the meds I was on. BF at the time broke his pelvis so I wasn’t worried because I didn’t think any sexual activities would be happening lol but I found out I was pregnant a month later. I had cramping for like three days and didn’t think anything of it until my boobs started hurting so I took a test in the supermarket bathroom before work because I still wasn’t taking it very seriously. It was positive and I just went to work and honestly forgot all about it until my shift was over. 😅 So I went back to the store and bought a bajillion expensive first response and digital ones and took them all in a day and sobbed every time they turned positive 😂 I don’t know why I thought maybe the first one was wrong.

I was just getting over a cold & I started throwing up every morning and I was blaming it on a sickness & then I missed my period & took 2 test 😍😍🤰🏼🤰🏼

My “period” was super light and short. ran out of birth control pills 2 months before, during family emergency travel, so we weren’t very active and We used the pull out method and thought we were all good 😆 Anyways, I asked my girls friends how their periods were after stopping the pills and they told me it was normal, but to get a pregnancy test just in case. Had to go to Target that day so I buy one, go home, do the test (just to check this option “off the list”) but It came out positif! I didn’t believe it. I texted a picture to my mom (we live in different countries) and I’m like wait actually let me call u later I should go talk to my husband 😂 I say to him “I think I may be pregnant?” and shoved the test to his face. Poor him, we were not trying at all, so it caught him by surprise. I started laughing telling him it couldn’t be true... well two tests later and a visit to the doctor it was true ;) oh and looking back my boobs were sooo sore! I thought it was because of my weird period... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awww that is sweet. My husband said yep your pregnant and hugged me. Lol not much of a story. He already has a 7 year old and so took a little fun out of my first one. But oh well

I hadn’t had my period In about three months and then one day I had a LIGHTTT bloody discharge FOR ONE DAY in earlier February I took a pregnancy test around the time we came out negative then I went over to my aunts house we hard-boiled eggs which was something I was totally in the mood for then I had a weird feeling an upset stomach I rush to the bathroom assuming it was just me having to you know poop 😅 however in the midst of me going pee I had grab the garbage can and threw up I went outside assuming other people weren’t feeling good from the hard-boiled egg everybody else was fine man I had assumed right away you must be pregnant and my clothes cousin his girlfriend was like I bet you’re pregnant so me thinking nothing of it when they suggested to go get a pregnancy test we went got first response went back to the house he thinking I’m going to be fine Boom it was pregnant within less than the three minutes

My husband was joking with me about me being pregnant because I was eating so much so I took a test just to prove him wrong but, turns out I was.

Lmao 😂 hilarious, I love it

Lmao 😂 hilarious, I love it

I thought pregnancy was out of the question for me for a variety of reasons, one being I only got my period 3-5 times each year. I went to a regular Drs visit and the doctor started talking about switching my meds due to my pregnancy. It took me a few minutes to register and I was absolutely terrified and ecstatic at the same time. I remember driving home laughing and crying (like a kookoo) and sitting for a good hour or two, unsure of how to tell my boyfriend. We were both pretty scared which took away some of the joy, but everything turned out well. I ended up keeping it a secret from everyone else until 4 months or so which only added to my stress! Silly mama!

I had abdominal cramping for a week so went to the doctor. She did a pregnancy test which was negative. She gave me a referral to get an ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts due to family history and said if the cramping continued another week go get that done. Fast forward a week and the cramping was still there so I took myself off to the ultrasound. Half way through the technician let out a little, "oh!! Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" At the time I had irregular cycles between 40-70 days and was also told by multiple doctors I was unlikely to fall pregnant naturally due to my endometriosis, so I replied with "I don't think so...why??" She sent on to say she could be wrong, but she could see what looked to be a 5 week gestational sack. Told me to pick up a pregnancy test on the way home to check and to let her know if she was right. I bought several tests and did them the next morning...all positive!

well I recently got married in April & my husband had already expressed that he wanted more kids (he has 3 from previous relationships) & being as though I have none I really wanted kids too. So we have been trying basically since we got married lol. I was afraid at first because I thought either I couldn’t get pregnant (I had a non-surgical abortion when I was 19 & I thought that was preventing me from getting pregnant, I’m 24 now), or that my birth control wasn’t out of my system (I was on depo for about 2 years & stopped last June) I read that it could take up to 10 months but I was just getting really worried that maybe I couldn’t get pregnant. Finally after 4 months of trying I missed my period, it always came right on time every month but honestly I knew exactly when I got pregnant its like my body just knew lol. Took 2 home pregnancy tests August 19th at like 4am & they were positive, just went to the doctors last week & I’m definitely pregnant, about 10 weeks in 🤗

That's actally such a nice story

I got heartburn from Chipotle. I'd never had heartburn before, but I remembered my mom telling me that she didn't either until she got pregnant. So we went and got some tests, and all three came back positive.

My significant other had me take a pregnancy test bc I had food aversion, head aches and a need to use the bathroom. So we went to the corner store got a test and it came out positive. Since I wanted to make sure, we went to a free pregnacy clinic down the street from my house. When I took their test it came up positive instantly. After we left we made some phone calls and that was the day we had.

I had just come back from visiting family and was feeling some serious pain in my lower abdomen and I just shrugged it off thinking it was going to be a bad period. The weirdest part was a week later everything started to taste funny to me. I couldn’t drink water without adding mio or lemon in it, I couldn’t eat anything that was made from animals I.e. cheese, eggs, meat. It was ridiculous. The week after I was late and finally took a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. My husband and I weren’t planning on having children for a long time but when that positive sign showed up we were beyond excited to start the new chapter.

I was late and I told my husband (fiancé) at the time I think I’m pregnant . He’s so laid back so when he said yeah you probably are, I ran to the nearest pharmacy to buy a test . Usually he’ll be the one to calm me down and say no your not but this time he was sure of it. So I took the test looked down saw the control line thought “not pregnant” as I went to open the door to tell him I looked at the test again and saw a positive test !

I found out I was pregnant a few days after my birthday. My SO had a feeling that I was pregnant and I was just in denial about it. So I took the test and I was pregnant and I was still in denial until I went to my GYN.

I wasn't even a full day late and something felt off. I was at work constantly checking to see if I started and my best friend was pregnant at the time and was trying to reassure me that I was fine. I got of work, bought a digital and regular test, chugged some Gatorade so I could take the test before my SO got home but he asked me to to go dinner so I didn't get to fully pee on the stick and thought eh whatever I'll just take a another one when I get home and hide the tests. Came home, grabbed it and it said positive so I took the digital test and low and behold, it said positive. I cried because I was scared and texted my best friend and she was so encouraging. I told my SO and his response wasn't so great but now we have a 15 month old who is the absolute best and we wouldn't change anything for the world

I was two weeks late and I took a test, but it wasn’t clear enough so we went to a doctor for a second opinion. He told me I wasn’t pregnant, but I still had a feeling so my roommate bought me a pregnancy test when she got herself some wine. She and my boyfriend waited in the living room drinking the wine while I sat in the bathroom looking at that clear as day plus sign...I never shook so bad in my entire life. When my boyfriend told me, “We’ve got this,” I knew then everything would be okay!

I have a very irregular period. I felt something was off, mainly my boobs... i took 2 test at the same time... while I was washing my hands they both said positive.. not even a minute later. I was in denial for a while, I only knew him 3 months when I found out I was pregnant.... 3 years later were married.

We were trying with both pregnancies so much less of a story lol. Started testing every few days on around day 24 of my cycle and finally got a +. The first i was home it was super light and my husband wouldn’t tell his family until a few days later when I took one that was darker in case it was wrong. Second I was visiting my mom and texted my husband at work. We were happy both times obviously.

Just commenting to say you are so beautiful!! 😍😍 lpl

****TMI Story**** My SO and I were having sex and I was on top and all of sudden my breast started leaking colostrum😂 we finished up I took a pregnancy test what normally takes 3 min until the result comes. For me it just said pregnant😂 made a Dr appointment found out I was 5 months pregnant.

Well we had been TTC for 4 years and had several fertility treatments and trials we were in. No results so we started saving for IVF! Two months later we had picked up my step son and he was sick (and I’m SUPER susceptible to getting sick when the kids are) and I got sick basically the next day. Didn’t feel good, no energy, nauseous and this went on for about a week before And my step son was fine by then his bug lasted bout 48 hours so I was like ok this is weird. Told my husband to pick up a test while he was at the store and he didn’t want to because all the negatives we are use to getting. He came back, I took it and I looked at it like 🤨👀 I’m seeing things just put it down it’s negative and look at it later. I pulled up my pants and picked it up and looked again and sure as shit two dark ass lines! I was in COMPLETE disbelief. I showed my husband and he kept saying no.....no.... no.... (out of shock that we actually got a yes! Like no this isn’t really happening?!??????)

While figuring out where we were going to for drinks, my husband suddenly asked me when was the last time I got my period. I thought, “oh, sh@&$”

Pretty much your story OP! Except I never took a test. I called my OB when my period was two weeks late sense I have a history of never having one, and had been regular for eight months. So they were like we aren’t concerned until your period is three months late. So my ass waited three months haha!!! Called them up like heyyyyy gimme an appointment so they did, huge positive. I was So shocked but they were dumbfounded and asked me “didn’t you notice your tummy was hard... didn’t you notice your period was very late....” So I had to sit there and explain that first of all I have chronic constipation, my tummy always feels hard to me, and second that on average I’d get four or five periods a year growing up. And no shit I noticed, it was THEM who didn’t wanna see me until three months later, soooo. 😭I got to look like a dumb kid at the OBs office. But I was elated! And so in awe. Of course being 12 weeks I immediately got to hear her heart and see her in the ultrasound. Pretty much a whole baby already🥰

I got a new puppy and she wouldn't stop sniffing and scratching at my belly. Noticed my period was a bit late so took a test and bam

I was on my period for my 5 days, which is normal for me. About 3 days once I was finished I had a dream that felt so real that I was. So I ran to the Kroger to grab a test and took it as soon as I got home. It lit up positive and I was like no way I just had my period. So I took the second that came in the package and it said the same thing. Tmi but my boyfriend at the time now fiancé was on the toilet and I knocked on the door and peeled my head in and said “I love you” and he says what do you want. Sooo... I handed him the positive test and he looks at it for a minute flipping it around and everything then he points at the door saying “get out I’m taking a sh*t” So yeah ours was a little different 😂

Hahahah

Soo I never had any symptoms or anything. My period was never on time. My sister in law (she was pregnant lol) for a week straight kept telling me I was pregnant. But I was sooo in denial. I was like nope I’m not. Then my mom tells me she had a dream that I was pregnant and it was a little girl.. I told them both I wasn’t pregnant and that it was highly unlikely for me to be. Well my sil made me go to the store with her and get a test.. I peed on the stick thinking nahh I’m not pregnant 😂😂 welp when I came back to look at it.. 2 dark lines... I then screamed OH MY GAWD IM PREGNANT 😂😂 Btw my mom got the gender right and the fact that she looks like me.

Lol I found out cuz I went to have a colonoscopy and i had to take a pregnancy test before the procedure and that is how I found out I was 2 months pregnant

I had super weird heartburn, and felt tired and sick. We had been trying for 3 months and I thought there was no way I was already pregnant, but something just kept telling me that I was. I hadn’t even missed a period yet, was due in 2 days and one morning just really felt like I should take a test.

Well we went on a car trip in the whole entire time I was sick didn't think I was pregnant got back into town had sickness like morning sickness took a test it was positive went to doctors turns out I was 7 weeks pregnant and didn't even know I called my boyfriend to tell him ask him if he was sitting down and told him he didn't believe me at first I had to send him the picture of the Pregnancy Test Plus bling it to him and show him lol

I found out I was pregnant when I was 2 months

I was going to have a colonoscopy done and they gave me a pregnancy test and it was positive so they couldn’t do it

I found out when I was at work. My boobs had been killing me for days and my co-worker was like 'im going to get a pregnancy test' I am pretty sure she was trying to hint something at me.. So I got her to get one for me too. Sure enough I found out at work! And so when I got home I said to my fiance 'i have something cool to show you' and handed him the test. He was so confused haha

My daughter was in the hospital for a month the day after her being discharged to home I realized I didn’t get my period in the past month, I thought it was late due to stress. I took a test expecting it to be negative it was positive. Then I took another test and positive again. Now I am five months pregnant and due August 21st!
