9 Women On The Weird Moment They Discovered They Were Pregnant
And no, missing their period is not one of the reasons.
Waking Up At Night Craving For Food
“When I was pregnant with my first child, I would usually get up in the middle of every night to eat something. A few weeks after the first birthday of my son, I suddenly woke up one night feeling super-hungry. After eating when I went back to bed I told my husband that I think I am pregnant. We took a test in the morning, and that was it, sure enough I was pregnant!”

“I had a weird craving for a particular fish dish when I was pregnant with my first. Strangely, I hate fish otherwise. One day when I was walking past a restaurant that serves this particular fish dish, I had such a strong craving for it that I immediately went home and got a pregnancy test. I took 7 more tests just to be sure. You know what the results were!”

An Extraordinary Sense Of Smell
“Strangely enough, my sense of smell grew so strong that I knew something was definitely different with my body. One day I was opening a bottle of tequila and the smell hit me so hard that I almost threw up. Another time, my husband was cooking eggs downstairs and I could smell it in my bedroom upstairs. I knew right at that moment that I was expecting.”

When Others Pointed It Out To Me
“I am a skinny woman normally. So one day when a coworker told me that I looked fat, I was surely offended. But she said I looked pregnant fat. Later I found out I was six weeks pregnant. Surprisingly, I hadn’t missed a single period in the meantime.”
“I had such horrible mood swings that they were hard to explain. I was watching a movie and someone got murdered in it. This was when I started sobbing. After crying for almost ten minutes I realised that this was such a stupid thing to do. So I took the pregnancy test and no wonder it was positive!”

“Yes, my period was late but I had it an entire week late even in the past so I thought the same is happening this time around too. But a few changes that I was witnessing in my body suggested otherwise. I couldn’t sleep in my normal position any more. Also, I would feel sick every time I would smoke a cigarette. I took a test and it instantly said positive. I was both shocked and happy.”
“My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a long time but in vain. Also, I always had very irregular periods; sometimes only thrice in a year. One time when I had just returned home after buying groceries, my husband out of the blue asked me to take a pregnancy test. I did, and it showed positive! The next day we went to the doctor and guess what, I was 16 weeks pregnant!”

Hard To Handle Mood Swings
“My boobs would hurt terribly, for days in a row. Practically everything would make me mad. My periods were due in a week so I blamed it on that and work stress. One day my husband jokingly said that he feels I am pregnant because the mood swings are getting hard to handle. I thought there was no way that this could happen but I still decided to take a test and bam. Pregnant.”
When I Wanted To Prove My Husband Wrong
“I started throwing up a lot. This was strange because I never throw up usually, no matter how nauseous I am feeling. My husband suggested that I get a pregnancy test done but I kept telling him that I was sure that’s not the case. After his constant badgering, I brought a pregnancy kit just to prove him wrong. Any guesses who was proved wrong ultimately?”
