Can You Tell a Woman is Pregnant Before She Knows It? - Page 2

[sosurreal09]

MIL knew! She told me before I was pregnant I would be soon...(had a dream) I said she was nuts b/c I was on birth control. Then she called me again when she thought I was...One month later was her b-day and we went out. I had a margarita and had the worst pain in my stomach from it. Two weeks later I noticed AF didn't come and then found out I was 2 months pregnant!

She called me yesterday to tell me I was pregnant with a boy though and I have an IUD and she knows it....so IDK this time she may just be nuts haha

Every time I've been pregnant, some random MAN has asked me if I am before I knew I was.

First time, it was a casual acquaintance at a dinner party.  No!  Not pregnant!  Why would you ask that?!  Turns out....yes, I was pg :o

Second time, it was a very good friend--but he wasn't in the same state as me.  Question was posed on a phone call???  I said "no".  Found out later--"yes".  But miscarried...

Last time, it was a student in my class (adult class).  Again....No!  Why, do I look pg??? ...and found out soon after yes, I was....

Apparently, it is super obvious to men when I'm pg :p  Curiously, my dh was shocked every time, lol!

Both, my mother, and my husband asked if I was pregnant before I knew.  I found out for sure at 6 weeks.

My DH knew when I was about 4 weeks.  I found out about a week or two later.  The girl at the convenience store also told my brother that she "saw a baby around him" a few weeks before we shared the news with him. At the time, I hadn't been in the store, ever. My brother went home and interrogated his poor wife; we knew at the time that the girl was perceptive though.  She also correctly predicted my DD's sex.

One of my friends' daughters knew she was pregnant before she did. My husband suspected I was pregnant even before I told him I thought I might be.

Just wanted to chime in that I loved "Lark Rise to Candleford!"  :)

I have known with at least 3 women before they announced it.

I've heard of men knowing their partners were from the changes in the cervix.

I accidentally slipped and added a friend to the list of pregnant women at work while I was having a conversation with some co-workers yesterday. Found out today she's preggo. Does that count?

My mother knew i was pregnant with my son (7 yrs ago) and knew both times when i miscarried- all before i knew

then recently- 3 weeks ago my male manager, Chris, told me when he knew i wasnt feeling good- that i was pregnant then a week later without the managers talking to each other- my female manager,Tracey, told me i was pregnant- but both times wasnt even close to my menstral coming.. but sure enough i am pregnant, I think my mom knows too, but we wanna tell her in a cool way lol

My pets knew before I did. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. The dogs are usually well-behaved about crotch-sniffing, but then one day they suddenly would not leave me alone down there! They were actually following me around the house with their noses plastered to my butt! I sat down on the couch after a while, and the cats jumped up for cuddles as usual, and they started sniffing at my crotch too! Two days later (day period was due) I tested, and sure enough...it's amazing what animals can smell. :)

The author of "What I Thought I Knew" was told she was looked pregnant by a lay, gay guy, when even her doctors didn't know (she was deemed infertile, in menopause).

Years ago, I was in Chinatown in Montreal, getting a foot massage. A tall, overweight woman walks in with her husband and sits down for a massage next to me. After a few seconds of massaging her, the masseuse says something in Chinese; someone gets up, gets the supervisor, who translates "you're pregnant, aren't you?" They were dumbfounded that they could tell just by touching her feet. The owner said they had to customize the massage to use the right pressure points.

That's interesting! I am 4 weeks and 4 days and I told DH lastnite that I am starting to have a pregnant face already.

You mean like chloasma? Mum noticed that on a woman at church once (I don't think it was before she knew, but before she'd told anyone). I couldn't see a difference. Or do you mean the face looks puffier or chubbier or something? Or something more poetic? :p As a non-intuitive person, I'm fascinated!

I did have weird dreams that SIL was going to go into labour the night before she did, though; and weird strong Braxton-Hicks all that day. Which was odd, because we're friends, but we're not THAT close...

It's a fullness along the jaw bone for me.

I posted when this thread was originally started, but since then, yeah my husband was telling people I was pregnant before I even tested.

[travelmumma]

Wow! Surprised by how common it is, but I truly think that some people are more in touch with their intuition than others.

My good friend (before she even knew she was pregnant) was speaking to her neighbour across the fence (he was an 80 year old polish optometrist) when he leaned forward and looked into her eyes and said "Congratulations, your pregnant with a boy!"

Needless to say she was! And yup, they now have a little boy!!   No idea how he figured that out????

I didn't know my friend was pregnant before she tested, but that was sight related rather than intuition. (Her jaw got puffy).

And right before my husband and I started trying the month we conceived I said to him "There is a little girl around me...." And I am not usually "spiritual" like that! Then as soon as I tested i thought "GIRL" and as soon as I told my best friend she screamed "YOUR HAVING A GIRL!"

We will have yo wait and see! I am due around Christmas!

My exhusband knew before I did.....

that's kind of sweet and creepy.

[BaileyB]

Lol Shiloh!

[Shiloh]

He told all of my friends when he knew and why.

It was 2 days before I even thought I might be.

[Sol_y_Paz]

In my case four knew before me.  One of them predicted the month over 6 months beforehand and was accurate.

I was maybe 4-5 days past ovulation and some random lady in a store at the mall put her hand on my stomach and told me grats. I was like, wtf?! because I didn't look/act/etc any different and I certainly didn't know it at the time. I'm slightly overweight but I don't LOOK pregnant by any means.

She was right. How, I'll never understand. Craziness.
