I don`t mean to offend anyone in the least bit...but. It seems like everyday there are new questions put out here on this site about `pregnancy symtoms`. Now I can completely understand if you have never been pregnant and this your first time...I get why you would be asking. But what I`m trying to figure out is if you have had more than 2 pregnancies. Why would you be asking `are these the signs of being pregnant`? I understand every pregnancy is different but seriously. So my question is, does this bother anyone else?

athenaB1984 - 1028 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I could understand this. I was lucky and did not have any symptoms of pregnancy with my first. I would not know what to define as early pregnancy symptoms since I have never experienced. Luckily I keep track of my period pretty well, and I was able to tell right away when I was late. I work at a hospital and I have women who still get thier periods even when they are pregnant and have weird symptoms and don't link it to pregnancy since they still get they're periods. I guess it can be confusing for some people, but if you have missed your period, are nauseated..etc, I would just put two and two together and take a test and stop the questioning and debating on whether or not I am actually preggers.

canadababy - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Sorry, but why would you understand if it's a first pregnancy?? LOL! In every case the only answer is BUY A PREGNANCY TEST!! It used to bother me more, I've learned to ignore them :)

steffilily - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) LOL, I understand what you mean. I also think it could be the "hopeful" feelings they have and wants confirmation that they could be pregnant before they take the test. My symptoms for 2nd pregnancy was completely different and I did not suspect I was pregnant at all until my DH mentioned I could be. I was like, NOOOOO (even though we were trying). I was expecting same symptoms such as feeling like my AF was coming, cramping, and all that as I did with my first. This time around I did not have that at all. Instead I was experencing constant hot flahses and having frequent trips to bathroom. Turned out I was pregnant and I was shocked!

Its-Chelle - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i can see if its been a while since last pregnancy but yes i agree with some comments below..lol every pregnancy is different, i had 4 kids and had different symptoms but i knew! i think sometimes the questions get posted repeatedly because some women out there are that scared, curious,get a quicker variety of answers here,or dont have anyone else to turn to or dont want to! but yeah, take a test or call your doc..

Bangel - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) lol. yes, the could i be pregnant questions are silly. take a test, see a doctor!

kbrooke1231 - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I feel the same way. Especially since when it has only been a week or so since they had sex. It also drives me crazy when they think they are like 8-10wks and are asking but haven't taken a pregnancy test. I am not trying to be rude but at least take a test!

KeepinTheFaith - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Lol, I'd like to speak on this one. I have two children BUT they are aged 6 and 9. It's been so long...when I got pregnant with this baby I felt like I was doing it for the first time. So so much changes over the years.

tommiesmommy - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It doesn't really bother me. Every pregnancy IS different, which means symptoms can vary. A woman could have a lot of obvious symptoms with her first and then with her second have some less obvious ones. They just want answers, not to be judged.

LiseyB - 1029 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Ha Ha. Yes I have often thought about that myself. I am 34 and only have one child! But I guess people actually forget their experiences as time passes. Or perhaps every pregnancy is such a unique experience that symptoms can be new. Maybe when we part with each placenta, we part with a piece of our brain as well!
