This is a long shot....
I am curious as my 2nd pregnancy I knew right away... had lots of symptoms... this time I wondered this AM if I might not be!!!! I have NO symptom but whilst taking a shower this AM I thought I was just not as "flat" tummied as I usually am.... (i know some wish they had that problem ) but seriously I am late but I did miss my periods the previous cycle too (so have no clue where I stand ovulation wise).... I hardly had any sex and only unprotected sex last week.... so I am sure it's not from last week but could it be from a few weeks ago?
I have to say I'd be gobsmacked but delighted!
I haven't had any "egg white" in a while either....
Can you be pregnant and not know it if you always had early symptoms before ???????

There are always stories of girls that give birth without knowing they were pg to start with, so I guess so!

Would imagine the only way to know is to take a test, but given your dates and stuff not sure when you would get a accurate result. Give it a go and see what happens.....

I am just too cheap (or truth be known quite skint) and don't want to spend the money on a pregnancy test for nothing

SBH - with my 2nd I just missed my period but no other symptoms (tiredness/sickness/strange taste) until about 12 weeks then it came on with aveangance. Although nipples did seem to go brownish. After testing positive, I still didn't get symptoms for a few weeks and mentioned it to my friend "you're definitely pregnant" she said "your arse wasn't that big before"!

Had no idea until 10 weeks. Just thought I was run down. Was completely different to my first pregnancy and a tad unexpected (but delighted)

I also had no idea until I was 10 weeks, I just wondered why my stomach was getting bigger...so I did lots of sit-ups and felt sick! It was actually DH who suggested that maybe it wasn't fat!

I was 4 months preganant when i found out! I'd not been having periods for a while and had taken precautions so had no reason to think otherwise.
Then my boobs got so big other people guessed I was!

My child minder has 5 children (only planned the first 4) & with her last pregnancy, she went 2 the doctors with a slight lump on her left side, thinking that she had a cyst on her ovary.
The doctor examined her & sent her 4 a scan where they told her she was pregnant & did she want 2 know the sex!
She was very shoked & said "I didn't think u could tell the sex until 20 wks"
They then told her that she was actually 6 months gone! At which point she cried!!
She claims 2 have had no symptoms atall & periods throughout!
3 months later, she gave birth 2 a 9lb little boy!
She has since been sterilised!!!!!

Cobweb - can you go to A&E and request an emergency scan? Just becuase you have been seen today already shouldn't stop you getting help.

Wishing you all the best and thinking of you xxx

My mum was 4 months gone with my sister before she realised.She'd had no symptoms at all & periods every month.She had my sister a month early too,so only knew she was expecting for 4 months.

My cousin didn't realise until she was 4 months too.One of her friends went to A& E with severe stomach cramps,only to be told that she was in labour.She refused to believe it until she actually gave birth.
