Can you have maternal instincts before you even find out your pregnant?

Is it possible to have maternal instincts before even finding out if your pregnant?

Truthfully, probably not.  Longing for a child would be more of a culprit here and it would be psychological rather than anything else.  Every woman is different and just being pregnant probably doesn't create a maternal instinct in all women.  :>)  Are you trying to conceive?  Or think you are pregnant or are you pregnant already?
