Pregnant?

Okay I know months ago I posted a question similar to this and it turned out it was just symptoms of my menstral begining..But lately I've been getting paranoid that once again makes me feel as though I may be pregnant.

Since I am in a serious relationship and we do not use condoms (they irritate his genitals) and I do not use BC because it seems as though every type makes me have some sort of reaction.. I do get nervous often. But recently there has been way diff symptoms that has made me feel as though I may be pregnant.

*In the past two weeks my appetite has increased significantly (I used to eat twice a day, when I woke up and dinner) now, it is like every 2 1/2- 3 hours I am rediculously hungry.
*I normally start my period between the 11-14th of every month..and I know today is only the 15th but I have not even began my period or have had my normal cramps or spotting yet.
*I have noticed that every child I am around (ages 3mo-16mo) are extremely attatched to me now. Im talking even children who have never met me before. They will be crying and throwing fits for their parents and everyone around,, they get in my arms and calm down almost instantly.
*My lower stomach has been swelling alot..and oddly. It gets extremely hard after I eat, I have normal bowl movements and it will still me stiff. After sexual intercourse it will get hard as a rock then slowly go down a bit but it stays swollen.
*And pressure...even the slightest and lightest weight that ends up on my lower stomach i feel pressure..its discomforting..if he lays his head on my stomach i have to deal with the discomfort or ask him to move..whats up with that?


Am I just freaking out once again and getting paranoid? Are these even symptoms of pregnancy?
Also i know this has nothing to do with pregnancy symptoms..but I find it odd..everytime anymore (in these past two weeks) that my boyfriend casually or accidently touches my stomach I get sensations that go straight to my heart...tingly and good feeling.. Last night we were just watching a movie and were in bed and he cuddle up to me and his hand ended up on my lower stomach and the sensation happened...at that time I wasnt even considering me being pregnant, and I dont want to be pregnant (if i were i would take care of what i have to, its not a problem) but I am young and dont plan on children its not that I desire to be but if I am not a problem..I am 19 by the way..and I do plan to go get a pregnancy test if I don't start in the next two or three days.

you wouldn't be having those type of symptoms that early on you would only be 4-5 weeks if your period is due. Most common early pregnancy symptoms are, missed period, frequent urintating, tiredness, nausea, sore boobs, smell aversions, bloating. I personally had weird food cravings, gas, and ovulation type pains, and increased cervical mucus, also early signs

I would test ASAP. And that could put your mind at ease, since you are not officially due a early test can detect the HCG, but it would be best to wait till your period is due. I wish you the best.

So if u Dont want to get pregnant.... your not trying very hard to prevent it... chances are you WILL get pregnant if not already... honestly not judging you,, but if u dont want to be pregnant then be responsible and get some sort of BC.. there are so many different kinds, speak to your doctor.

Symptoms can start as soon as implantation does, but it's rare. If you're not pregnant now, you're going to be soon without using BC or condoms. there are some non-hormonal birth control options that you should look into if you're not ready to get pregnant yet.

Good luck when you test. you can test now for an accurate results like the other ladies said.

The best way to be sure if you are pregnant is to take a HPT on the first day of your missed period. I think that it's too soon for the symptoms to begin as mine didn't begin until week 7. Good luck!
