I have a secret.....

**doulacara** · February 28th, 2008, 10:47 PM

I have to share with somebody that I am indeed pregnant with Number 4! I have not done a test and TBH I don't think I will. I know my body well enough to know that this is it.

I am still in the freaking out stage - as in 'OMG What was I thinking!!?!?!?'

But I am also excited to be planning a homebirth - got the birth plan sorted already LOL!

Just needed to spill the beans to anyone!

Wow, that's fantastic!
It'd be so amazing to know your body that well to be able to tell without a test! How can you tell you're pregnant?

congrats!! goodluck with the homebirth

Congrats Cara!!!! I so knew I was pregnant with my second - I never normally get reflux/heartburn except when pregnant, so when I got heartburn after eating dinner one night after we'd started actively TTC, I KNEW I was pregnant.... you just know

I am very jealous of the HB - enjoy!!!

HB - It's going to be wonderful! Do you want to borrow my birthing pool etc?

Congrats!

Amazing how you just know hey! I did too but I still tested to make sure! DH tried to tell me that it was all in my head - men

Good luck with your home birth too - how exciting!

**rosehannah** · February 29th, 2008, 11:15 AM

Woo hoo, congratulations on your PG. I know what you mean about your body telling you, I always knew I was pg. before the first period was due. If I tell my DH I'm PG he takes me seriously.

Congratulations and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Congratulations Cara,

Wishing you a very H&H pregnancy

Thanks everyone. It feels good to share. Not testing is actually quite mentally challenging - I think I am setting a test for myself in trust. I know I am pregnant mainly because I haven't had a period and in 22 years I have never missed one other than when pregnant. Also I had sex close to ovulation - and that has worked the last three times without fail (incredibly fertile here). And my appetite is off - a sure sign for me.

Have had a rotten day with my two boys - who it seems are trying to prove to me that I have made a big mistake.

Claire - forgot I wasn't truly anonymous here! Thanks for the offer - I have my eye on a La Bassine pool.

Looks like I'll be due around the first week of November sometime.
