heavy girl pregnancy?

Hello, I'm Abby... I'm 18 & over weight. I don't exactly know if I'm pregnant,  but I just feel different... i just want to know how I can tell if I'm pregnant without going to the doctor or taking a test yet... i bled a little after I had sex & I thought it was my period, but I only bled the moment & it stopped. What does that mean? ? Anyway... if you're a bigger girl & are pregnant or were pregnant how did you tell?

Honestly, I don't see how weight has anything to do with it, but your best bet is to take a test. There's no other definitive way to know, as stress of thinking you are can cause your body to mock symptoms.

I'm 21 and I'm also over weight, but basically when I decided I wanted to start to get on a diet and go to the gym I started to also take diet pills and roughly after a month of not losing any weight, instead gaining weight and having really sore boobs along with cravings I thought I'd take a pregnancy test. I was a little skeptical since I had been taking the pill to regulate my periods and I knew some of the side effects were weight gain but I took a test anyways. The first 3 I took were negative then the 4th there was a very faint positive, when I took the 5th it was very clear I was pregnant. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with a baby boy!

My first signs of pregnancy was missed period and my boobs was very sore and sensitive, like never before! Rather do a test ASAP  first thing in the morning because you worrying if ur pregnant or not is not good for you if u are pregnant. Good luck!

I was able to tell something was off. I felt like a had a mild stomach bug going on but knew there was no other reason for having such. Also if you're having cramps in the bottom of your stomach, breast tenderness but it's past your period days then it might be time to take a test.

You can't know unless you've done a test. I did 3 tests, 2 neg & 1 positive (positive one 4 days before my period). I'm now 22 weeks with a baby boy
