“Unbelievable Clues: 49 Women Share the Bizarre Moments That Made Them Question If They Were Pregnant!”
My cat followed me for a week straight (normally does their own thing with periods of affection).. every time I sat down, he laid on my belly and appeared to be “smelling my breasts”. My dog didn’t even seem to notice… not that early anyway.
I was still breastfeeding my baby (she was about 11 months old) and she abruptly started refusing the breast. As soon as the milk started flowing she’d yank her head off and away. I was devastated – hadn’t been planning to wean her yet – but shortly after, discovered I was pregnant. I hadn’t used birth control because I had been told that pregnancy was unlikely as long as the baby was primarily breastfed. Oops.
It’s weird but I felt it almost immediately. Not in a specific way, but it was almost a spiritual feeling. It wasn’t any way I had ever felt before. Almost a 6th sense kind of thing. I just knew.
I even tried to talk myself out of it because she wasn’t planned, I had just started dating her dad the month previous and I had been told in the past that I was infertile.
I didn’t realize it at the time but my positive test made me look back and say “of course!”. I started waking up in the middle of the night needing to pee which I never usually did (post pregnancy is another story lol). All of the sudden I found myself extra cold all the time. And I was super tired and going to bed hours early. Pregnancy makes you get like 1.5 times the amount of blood you normally have in your body which explains the peeing and the chills (it can also cause the opposite and make you feel very warm). I struggled with the blood volume issues all pregnancy, I wound up with low blood pressure so I would feel faint and need to sit down a lot.
With my first born:
I woke up one morning and did NOT want coffee. Like it didn’t sound good and I couldn’t imagine drinking it.
