My best friend didn't know she was pregnant until 20 weeks when she had a routine exam and ultrasound looking for cysts and found a baby.
Howd you find out? Tell me your story

There is a show that is called "I didn't know I was pregnant." Some women didn't gain any weight had no morning sickness, etc. Some already had children and didn't notice the signs. Especially, if you already had your tubes tied.

I got pregnant while on the pill which I had been taking for 3 years. One day as I was working out at the gym, I felt really nauseous and threw up. At the time I thought I had just worked too hard. 2 days later I was still getting sick so I went to my Dr. She asked if I was pregnant and I said no way since I was on the pill. My brain started going crazy trying to remember - when was my last period - as she is asking me questions….
Anyway, she did a pregnancy test and sure enough I was pregnant!
I found out when I was 13 weeks. I'd been told I couldnt have children!! I had a horrible backache that wouldnt go away so off to the doc I went. He wanted to do a pregnancy test "because if the one in a million chance was gonna happen to anybody it'll be you, W.!" his exact words!! I was 37. I was absolutely floored!! my periods had never been regular so I didnt have that to go by. Now I have my 13 yr old "backache" and wouldnt trade him for the world.
Well my mom didn't find out she was pregnant with my brother until she was 4 months pregnant. My mom is a very intelligent women.
Her period ( mine also were never consistent)P. My period only became regualr after having two children.
It can be very easy if you don't gain much weight you don't feel any different and your period was never regular to begin with.
We wanted a baby for nine years. We adopted our kids from foster care in 2006. I still wanted to have a baby. Last year my DH lost his job, my SIL died, my papa died, and my MIL died all within a few months of each other. It was a very emotional/stressful year. My periods are not regular because of PCOS. On Christmas Eve I took a pregnancy test. When only one line appeared I remember thinking," Oh well. It would have been nice to end this horrible year on a happy note." Then all of a sudden there was another pink line. I sobbed, drank another bottle of water, sobbed some more, called my DH home from Christmas shopping, handed him the test and cried some more. I could not believe it. I was desperatly trying to remember when my last period was and could not.
I could not get into my OB until January. It was around the 2nd week of January. Because I am Type 2 Diabetic he was sending me to a specialist for my ultrasound. He estimated I was around 12w. A week later at my u/s the lady starts laughing and says she is going to knock a month off my due date and wants to know if we want to know the sex of the baby. I was almost 18w pregnant and it was a girl!
I had no morning sickness. I had some emotional issues but I chalked them up to stress. I could not eat chicken without gagging but I remember I excused that away as well., I was exhausted but I was having a bad year and I had five kids I was homeschooling. LOL
I did not feel her start to move around until well after 26/27w. I was not gaining weight but loosing it actually. I was going to WW and excercising. I'm a big girl so the weight loss was no big deal.
When I was pregnant with my son, I was on the pill!!! Given, I must have made a mistake, but still. Anyway, I didn't even miss my periods until the 4th month, yes moms, I found out I was pregnant @ 16 weeks, when I felt a tugging in my stomach, I thought it was something else, but no, there was my now 4 year old Diego moving around!!!
I think I did have cravings for pizza hut's quepapas, but at that moment I just thought I like them a lot, I still love them!, but other than that no symptoms.
Ohh dear! I found out that I was pregnant at about 21 weeks just days before my 21st birthday!! My beautiful son, now 14 mos, was probably conceived on Halloween 09 and months after I was concerned that my missed period was from my ovarian cysts. I have had some pretty bad cases of that and I was worried that something could be wrong. But I never really went to the doctor. When I was 3 or so months pregnant, I actually thought that I was gaining weight and I was surprised because I'm a 5'4'' petite girl. My mom and sisters kept asking me if I was pregnant and I would lash out at them cause either I knew it in the back of my head and I didn't want to be or I was just in plain denial. The main reason for me not knowing was because I wasn't paying close attention in Sex ED... that if you miss one or more periods, YOUR PREGNANT! I know, you're probably thinking what the hell was this girl thinking?! I thought the same thing. It sorta derailed my 21st birthday (cause of the whole 'you get to drink' thing). But I soon pulled it together. Another weird thing was.. that night that I took the test, I felt him move around. Now he's heathly and happy and keeping me on my feet :D
p.s I had NO morning sickness at all or crazy cravings!
To be honest, I personally could not figure out how you (meaning anyone) could not know they were pregnant. With all 3 of my pregnancies I had very active moving babies. So, I guess I just don't understand how they don't know there is a baby moving inside them.
I could be wrong, but I just don't get it? (And I could see not knowing the first few months, but middle to end of pregnancy?? )
