I came back from a holiday in India on the day of my 'period' and my mum made me take a test. But I just had a feeling that I was :) this was in January and travelling makes your periods mess up, so in December when I was 4 days late, everyone thought I was but I didn't have a feeling of being pregnant. And I wasn't! :)

Ive known I was pregnant since the day I conceived my baby on July 8th. we've been trying for 10 months with no luck at all and then one morning I had a transparent pinkish clear looking discharge and I knew instantly that I was pregnant. I took a test a month later and showed it to my bf in stake and shake, he was so happy he almost cried right there. When I went to my first ultrasound and she told me how far along I was she even pin pointed july 8th as the day of conception before I told her about the discharge.

Well missing my prd is a first because I've never ever missed a prd. And theeen, vomiting for the longest i knew something was up. So did mom, so she bought a test and it came out positive, went to a cheap clinic and took another free test and positive as well, turned out to be 6wks pregnant. Not planned at all, so it was such a shock. But as an accident, I was scared the whole time something was gonna go wrong. Here I am 37wks and I can't wait to hold my sweet baby girl:)

I found out by chance !!
Actually my period was late for 2 weeks but I didn't care I thought because of contraceptive tablets that I stoped recently
But one day I had fever and horrible body pain so I went to the hospital and they told me I have UTI and the doctor wrote for me antibiotic
That time I told the doctor that I missed my period and he decided to do pregnancy test in case
And there I am same day got news that I have UTI & Baby inside xD
It was a surprise !!

So while I was on travel for work (10 long days), I stopped wanting red bull and all the normal foods I had been looking forward to on this trip. When I got back, my bf then looked at me and said, "babe, are your boobs bigger?" I couldn't wear half the clothes I brought with me on the trip because I grew a full cup size. So went home, took a pee test. Positive. Then went for the ultrasound....I thought I was 5 weeks. I was really 9. This has been the biggest change in my life.

I had never been pregnant but is women know our body and know when something is different for me I had heartburn for a week and my nana had just passed and so I though stress was the reason I wasn't starting but then my breasts got really sore and felt heavy. And behold the pee test.

Mine was a shock. I had went to the doctors to have a checkup because of a car accident I was in at work. I hadn't been there in a while so they pretty much gave me a physical. The nurse came into the room all smiles.. Which I thought was normal cuz she's a pretty happy giddy person. And told me congratulations ms ouellette your pregnant. I went from a smile to a straight face. "What??!!" So not ready for that. But now I'm happy. As can be
