I realize that I need to take a test, but I am waiting another week or so, because I NEED to be sure! I haven't had my period yet this month. I stopped breastfeeding my daughter in February. We just had a baby 5 months ago... She was born 10 weeks early. So, I have 2 questions...
Does anyone know if this is true.... one sign... just one (and trust me, I know there are others) is a fluttering feeling in your stomach. Not baby kicking, but almost like you're nervous... This true?
Also, I have been VERY forgetful lately! I mean, ridiculously forgetful.... and it has only been this bad for a couple of weeks... This mean anything?
My breasts aren't very sore yet... but I didn't notice a soreness with either of my pregnancies until I was about 2 months along. I have been peeing more. Occasionally feeling sick. So, I think it's likely, but I am going to wait a little longer to take a test, because I NEED to be sure... I can not put my husband through crazy emotions like that.

You shouldn't feel any fluttering if it truly is a pregnancy - too soon for that.
Since you just stopped breastfeeding in February (so did I) your cycles might be a little irregular right now making it hard to tell if you ovulated yet.
I think the forgetfulness could be any number of things, and in my experience the scatterbrained stuff gets worse late in pregnancy. Peeing more and feeling sick are two common early pregnancy symptoms.
If you take your basal body temperature every morning and it is consistently elevated that is a postive pregnancy sign. Elevated means higher than what is normal for you and I don't know what that is. For many women an elevated basal temperature is 98.0 degrees or higher.
If you are carrying a little one....congratulations! Your two babies will be very close not just in age but in friendship, too. Mine were.

I just want to say, what that person said about breastfeeding increasing your chances of being pregnant is bs. Breastfeeding is actually natures birth control.
As for you being pregnant. It is certainly possible. If you have had 2 kids in the past, you should probably trust how you feel. I've only had one, and my cycle has always been completely irregular, but when I got pregnant, even though it took 3 years of trying, I just knew I was. Ya know?
I mean, sure, you may not be. And it would be extrememly soon to get pregnant after you just had. Periods can be all over the place when you have just had a baby. However, when you stop breastfeeding just after having a baby, its very normally to be hyper-fertile too.
I guess you just shouldn't worry about it too much until you do the test. Thats really the only way to know for sure.

I've never heard of your stomach fluttering! But you know that breastfeeding increases your chances of getting pregnant again! You have to be extra careful while breastfeeding! Your other symtoms don't really mean anything either, you could just have a UTI, or be under too much stress. So just relax, put your feet up (which I know can be hard with a new baby I have a 6 mth old) and take a test in a couple of days but don't freak your husband out yet!!!

First of all, Your husband's job is to love and protect his family-- tell him you are suspicious and let him share in this anxiety and help you through it. He can't support you if you are hiding things from him. He is a big boy and can take it emotionally. Haven't you been using some type of birth control?? Your body isn't even well from the birth of the 5 month old and you sure don't need to be ripping your uterus that way, I have a friend who has two daughter's the second is only l0 months younger than the first. This means she got pregnant only one month after the birth of the first child. She lost her uterus as carrying one child in her arms while being pregnant when she had not recovered fully from the first - a full hysterectomy was the only answer. I pray you are not pregnant as children should be planned not an "oops".. as far as the flutter thing - I don't remember that feeling at all during my own pregnancies. Take a pregnancy test - aren't they cheap these days? Find out and - get to the ob-gyn to see how you can minimize the damage to your own body - I think they have a tummy sling which would help to support the uterus - good luck to you. Children are a great gift - I hope all goes well.

You also shouldn't be going through those emotions on your own. But my question is, if you just had a baby, wouldn't you know symptoms you would likely have?
