Get Pregnant Fast

Have you ever caught yourself flipping through a reality show about unexpected pregnancies? It’s a guilty pleasure of mine—perfect for those cozy nights in. While some cases are indeed medical anomalies, like the woman who had her tubes tied only to find out she was pregnant at 50, the truth is that most of these surprises stem from sheer denial.

When my partner and I decided to embark on the journey of parenthood, I had my fair share of signs that hinted I was expecting, well before I confirmed it with a test. If you’re feeling a bit perplexed about your situation, here’s a list of unmistakable signs that might indicate pregnancy:

1. A stranger shares their dramatic birth tale with you in the grocery aisle.
2. Your cravings take a bizarre turn—suddenly, chocolate cake is off the menu, but Brussels sprouts are calling your name.
3. You find yourself in a sneaky little game of blame in the grocery store, casually shrugging off your gas as “the kid’s fault.”
4. You seem to have more intimate encounters with your OB-GYN than with your partner.
5. You’ve exhausted your Netflix queue and have no idea what to watch next.
6. You can navigate to the bathroom in total darkness, eyes closed, counting your steps like a pro.
7. Getting out of bed requires a full-on momentum swing.
8. Your meals have turned into a wild mix of salsa, eggs, grapes, bacon, nuts, lettuce, feta, and an apple all tossed together.
9. You dread stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office so much that you close your eyes.
10. You find yourself praying for smooth bowel movements.
11. The first question you ask when entering a new place is, “Where’s the bathroom?”
12. You catch yourself daydreaming about delivering a swift punch to someone who annoys you.
13. Your time spent in the bathroom has reached an all-time high—sometimes in unusual positions.
14. Your partner has become a tad jealous of your body pillow, even giving it a playful nickname.
15. You’re utterly confused about how to manage shaving down south, and you wonder if the baby will need a machete to get out.
16. Your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride—crying at happiness, sadness, disappointment, and even worry. A quick Google search is usually followed by a call to your sister.
17. You decide to tackle house cleaning but end up sitting on a bag of frozen peas while watching daytime TV.
18. You go to yoga but spend the majority of the session lying on your mat, dreaming about your next meal.
19. You feel empowered, strong, and undeniably important—because you are, mama!
