How does she just KNOW these things?!  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
DH's grandma is amazing. First off, she is a perfectly capable 78 yo woman. Admirable in it'self, but she at one point was divorced with 6 small children and putting herself through nursing school!!!

WHen I was pregnant with Titus, we were at her house for thanksgiving and she smiles at me waddling around and says "I give you 10 days." and waddya know? 10 days later, Mr. T was born!!!

We haven't told any of our family yet about this baby. So tonight we were all together and MIL was saying something about all the pregnant ladies at church and how there were just none for so long. I said the opposite happened to me when I was pg with TItus... ther was this flood of babies right before I got pregnant then it seemed like no one else was until after Titus was born. Grandma then gives me this spry grin and says "so are you telling us you're pregnant?" : I was impressed at how fast and calm I just emphasised that I was talking about when I was pregnant with Titus, but she just gives me this kind of "oh, ok." thing, like sure Sarah, whatever you want to say, I know better

I don't think we'll even have to tell her, she'll just KNOW the due date somehow

I haven't told very many people and lot of folks have beat me to it by telling me I was pregnant first. Some folks say they just noticed the glow or "felt" that I was pregnant. I think that is so cool and that some people are just sensitive to spirit of new life.

Congrats!

My DH's grandmother always knows when someone is pg. Before we tested with my last pg, I told DH just ask your grandma if someone's pg. We don't even need to go buy a test. lol - but we did anyway. She did say that someone was pg and when we took the test, sure enough. She always spoils stuff, because with my son we were going to wait to tell, but she was saying that somebody was pg and the ONLY person in the family that it could be was me because a few people had just had kids and the others that were candidates everyone knew that they just went to go get their depo. *sigh* - anyway....your DH's grandmother seems to be even MORE intuitive.

It's pretty amazing how some people have such clear intuition on other people's fertility.
