With both, I was a couple of days late for my period. I knew something was wrong because every month I started when I was supposed too. I took pregnancy tests and both were positive. Of course now I can't go by that because my cycles aren't regular like that anymore.

I don't just have morning sickness. I have afternoon sickness, evening sickness, middle of the night sickness, just ate something really bad for me that I was craving and now I'm gonna pay sickness (lol), and both times it started early on. *This is my second pregnancy.

The sight of any food made me want to throw up, I cried over nothing (seriously a kitten crossed the street in front of my friend's car and I broke down in tears), I was sore and achy and all I wanted to do is sleep. It was the same with 2 of mine. With my youngest I started feeling like something wasn't right with me, but I still had my period for 2 months. My husband (boyfriend at the time) kept telling me I had to be pregnant and I was in denial. He said I had to be because he was getting sick every morning. We bought a test and sure enough...I was pregnant...went to the doctor a few weeks later and found out I was already 12 weeks along. It's crazy, but everyone's body is different.

I felt it. I know that sounds weird. I can't really explain it. I was tired, had heartburn and mood swings. I didn't miss a period for the first three months. It was really odd. For my first child, my mom just knew. That's all she said. She looked at me one day and told me we were going to the doctor for a pregnancy test. She was right and I was shocked.

I know exactly what you mean! I felt it too. I have an 11 month old, and am about 6 weeks pregnant with my second child now. But times I just had a feeling that I was. Plus both times the morning sickness definitely kicked in early on. It's all coming back to me now...

I did not know right away with any of my 3. The first one I had a lot of fertility problems. The second one I thought I had the flu. The 3rd one was planned but I did not keep a real close eye on what was going on. I figured I was not going to get pregnant the first month trying.

I was pregnant with my first after 4 months of marrige. With my youngest, I though I was going through menopause. Little did I know.

With my first, I had my period for the first 2 months. I didn't know until I was almost 3 months. With my other 2, I knew right away. I don't know how, but I just felt different. Maybe because we were trying for the last two, so as soon as something was different I knew.

I always had my cycle like clock work. Along with that I get major cramps. I was having cramps but not bleeding, unusal for me. So after to weeks (I kind of felt it right away but did not think it was true, so I let it go for another week) I decided to take a home pregnancy test I it was positive.

you can determine by using a pregnancy test.you did not have your period for this month, it dosnt mean ur pregnant.. since u had a cycle 2x for november, u might have a hormonal imbalance.. you should check with your OBgyne..

I was trying to get pregnant for a long time. Then one day I got disappointed.My husband brought me cellery which I adored. I took to make dinner, but I was feeling ready to vomit. So, I changed the recipie and I didn't use the cellery. Next day I decided to make the cellery boiled and so I took the celery in my arms. Once again I felt very bad and I was ready to vomit. When y husband came I told him and he said to make me laugh that maybe the little one didn't like cellery. The moment he said it I felt a very weird feeling in my body, like wings flapping. I told him that he was right. I took the very next day the test which was finally positive. My son hates cellery after all.

The 1st 2 times I was pregnant right away, even tho I had no symptoms I just knew. The last 2 times I didn't have a clue or even a thought in my mind that I could be pregnant. At the moment I am 9 weeks - and except for the sore breats and occasional neasua I wouldn't believe that I am. My mom has always been able to 'forsee' the future and can tell that I'm pregnant before I even have a clue. Shes scary like that. =)

Hello, I've got three children, I'm gonna tell you about my second child (my only boy). I think it's a cute story. I just KNEW I was pregnant. Just had that feeling I went to Planned Parenthood for a Pregnancy test, told them I believed I was Pregnant. LOL, they came back & told me "no, your are not pregnant, the test came back negative" I agured with them, telling them, yes I am, I don't care what the test shows. LOL. they told me to come back in a week & they would give me another test, just to ease my mind. LOL. I went back in a week, took another test, Guess what! the test was positive! when they came & told me the test was positive, LOL, I told them "I TOLD YOU THAT LAST WEEK!"
