With my second, I was wearing light blue denim shorts and looked like I had wet myself. My partner knew before I did. In hindsight, it was pretty obvious but I just put it down to my period coming. I was about five weeks pregnant when my partner told me to do a test. Within the next few days I just randomly took a test and it was positive. Enjoy xoxox.

You feel pregnant. You have all these signs and symptoms of pregnancy —fatigue, cravings, maybe even nausea. But then, when your period arrives , you realize that no, you're not pregnant this month. Other scenarios could be that you're having pregnancy symptoms but your pregnancy test was negative.
You may have spotting. What does it all mean? The experience of feeling pregnant when trying to conceive isn't uncommon. Spend any time on fertility forums or social media sites and you're bound to hear members refer to "imaginary pregnancy symptoms.
Maybe not. Imaginary pregnancy symptoms IPS are exactly what they sound like—symptoms women experience that make them think that they may be pregnant. Don't expect to hear your doctor use the term IPS. It's not a technical term. The phrase was invented by the fertility-challenged as a loving way to refer to those obnoxious "symptoms" that haunt you during the two-week wait.
The time between ovulation and your expected period is when you're most likely to be anxious about whether or not this month will be the month. It's natural to assume that you may imagine some early pregnancy symptoms such as tender breasts, fatigue, bloating, emotional sensitivity, light cramping, and even food cravings. Note that this review of imaginary pregnancy symptoms does not refer to the serious psychological condition pseudocyesis, where a woman believes that she is pregnant when she isn't.
Pseudocyesis is completely different than the normal experience of feeling that you may be pregnant, even if you aren't, during the two-week wait. You probably know at least one person with a "feeling pregnant" story that came true.
She just knew that month was different. Maybe one particular symptom was stronger, or she was extra tired, or she was craving some food she never eats otherwise. Or she had a strange cramp or twinge. She may claim women's intuition let her know she was with child before the pregnancy test came back positive.
Here's the thing with these kinds of tales: these women are putting much more weight on the one time they felt pregnant and actually were pregnant over the dozens of times those same feelings didn't indicate pregnancy.
It's called confirmation bias. Pregnant bodies are working hard to grow that baby, and need about extra calories a day. Some women find themselves craving food they would never normally dream of eating, while others simply feel hungry all day long. The frequency of migraine headaches can increase with pregnancy. Many women who get hormonal migraine headaches find they get more of them during especially early in pregnancy, explains Pitman.
However, some people have the opposite experience and actually get a little reprieve from migraines while expecting. Many women experience emotional mood swings throughout pregnancy. Shifting hormones, combined with the heart beating faster to pump more blood through the body can cause blood pressure to gradually decrease early in pregnancy. As a result many women experience periods of dizziness or feeling lightheaded.
While there is no scientific explanation for this symptom, for some it can last throughout their entire pregnancy. More about your right to confidentiality when using the NHS.
