What's the longest you DIDN'T know you were pregnant?

[Charlotte91]

I've been reading "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories and thought I would ask.

What's the longest you DIDN'T know you were pregnant?

I found out at 3 weeks with all my pregnancies. As soon as that sperm touches my egg I start vomitting, lol.

That's why I find it so strange that you can deliver a fullterm baby without knowing.

One of the members here she found out at 16 weeks!! I know cause I was with her for her scan. We were expecting a peanut of the screen and lol we were certainly surprise.

My friend was 3 weeks off delivery when she found out. She was on lot of medications at the time. She only found as she was booked for a hysterectomy and they couldn't operate as her baby was nearly due. Eek!! She only put on 2 kg and was told we period would stop due to her medications so she was none the wiser

DD1 about 5 weeks AF a week late so tested. (Surprise bubba)

DD2 3 weeks 4days going on holiday and wanted to know before we left so attested

DD3 4 weeks tested day AF was due

I have a regular cycle so missing AF is a big give away!
I don't get it either, when a baby moves in the beginning of the third trimester I don't get how you couldn't feel it!

My last pregnancy in my 6th week, was on the pill lol. Totally oblivious until my GP insisted it could be a possibility for my horrid reflux and burning in my belly. lol.

[Tinks]

6 months. I'm not going to go into the hows and whys here because it was quite traumatic for me, but I can completely understand how some people don't know for the entire time.

I found out at seven weeks with DD.

[*LittleMissSummer*]

3.5 weeks for DD and 5 weeks for DS as i kept getting negatives with internet cheapies.

An old friend was 11 weeks with her son and 8 weeks with her daughter.

My SIL didn't know with her first until she went into labour at 38 weeks.

A woman who gave me first aid when i fainted at a bistro a week later found out she was 7 months pregnant, she honestly didnt look it she was quite slim.

[~TT40~]

a good friend of mines DIL had no idea until she fell off a horse and went to the hospital. they think she was term (due to bubs behaviour) but really have no idea exactly how far along she was.

[chody47]

Mine have always been planned so I've tested and found out just before AF was due.

My Mum didn't know she was pregnant with me til 4 months - and then I was a month early - so she only had 4 months to get her head around it!

[~Hestia~]

I have found out before AF with all my pregnancies. With Moo I couldn't understand how that happened as he gave me such a hard time, he was so active! Then when I was pregnant with Buster I could see how people might find out much later as he gave me no trouble at all!

[mumto4+1]

4 weeks 2 days, and this is my 6th pregnancy

[Cranky Kitten]

With DD I didn't find out until about 3 months in - I'd missed a couple of periods, wondered about it but chalked it up to being stressed (I was being sexually harassed at work and was fighting with management at the time) and thought nothing of it. Went to the Dr after missing the third and she insisted on my taking a pregnancy test "just to rule it out" - nearly fell off the chair and burst into tears when she said it was positive.

I couldn't understand with either of them how people would not know, they were both very active babies and I tend to get horrid morning sickness from about week 11-12 for the rest of the pregnancy. Talk about being backwards hey?

[black_rose]

The girls I knew early on before AF was even due but with ds it was 8 weeks as I had no symptoms and felt fine. I didn't actually feel pregnant until 16 weeks when he started kicking. Can't remember why I even tested but I guess because I finally realised AF was late, I was lucky to get into my ob in time as it was over Christmas and he has his first check up at 10 weeks.

[Trillian]

I know someone who didn't find out till 14 weeks - she thought she had a hernia and when she had a scan to confirm they found a baby instead. She was a woman who had been married for well over 10 years already by that point and her and her DH didn't want kids so it was a huge surprise for them. My own mum didn't have her last pregnancy confirmed until she was 20wks. She was 38 and she thought she was starting to go through menopause. As for me, I had a suspicion with my first because I just felt so wretched and it was the only thing it could be. We weren't trying either as we'd only just gotten married and we wanted to wait a while. But it would have been about 5 weeks and I had it confirmed at 6 weeks.

To scared to test with my 1st incase it was positive so when I went to the Dr I was 8-9weeks although I expected a week after AF didn't arrive. With no2 I had no idea or suspicion when I accidentally found out at 6weeks and with the rest I was just under 4weeks as I was trying with them so that made the difference. I can understand how people wouldn't know but also think a lot of cases of I don't know aren't genuine. I was a midwife when a young girl delivered at home of a term baby. She had no idea until the baby was half out. The Dr told her when she was 5months pregnant she was not pregnant just fat.

At work recently a 48yr old found out she was pregnant when she was around 20ish weeks. The dr told her he must have ovarian cancer and raced her for an emergency scan but turns out the abnormal growth was a baby lol. Her husband and grown up children raced to be with her when they found out.
