Have any of you moms felt like you were about to get your period, but later found out you were pregnant. I am a few days late but have been feeling crampy and yucky like I always do the days leading up to my period. Seems like everyday for the last week I keep telling my husband I don't feel well I am getting my period, and then it doesn't come.. I keep telling myself I'm not because I feel like I am getting it anytime and then nothing. I will get a test tomorrow to find out for sure, but I was just curious :)

What can I do next?

I felt and still feel that way and just found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. I still go to the bathroom expecting it to come and then nothing. I felt the same with my last daughter as well. Good Luck and Congrats if you are!!!

yeah with all my pregnancies I feel like I'm going to start my period. It's cause you feel the same way tired, moody, crampy and bloated. Well at least for me that's how I always feel. So take the test to find out for sure.

Yeah, when I got pregnant, I had cramping for about 2-3 weeks.

It's so confusing because early pregnancy symptoms and menstrual symptoms are SO similar! I just always wanted my feet to turn green or something to let me know I was pregnant :) I think I was in my 3rd month before I actually believed I was really pregnant and not still 'about to get my period' hahaha

Yes, that's how my pregnancy started. I also had some extra sharp cramps and just felt a bit more hormonal than usual.

That's exactly how I felt the beginning of both my pregnancies! Good luck!
