But, I wanted to demonstrate a point to those who have not been pregnant (ahem, DJ).
I have a friend who works with someone who became pregnant, and she was doing a bit of complaining to me about her co-worker. Basically she was saying how she found out she was pregnant, and then immediately she had all the symptoms of pregnancy. I said in the woman's defense "NO, that really IS how it happens"!!!!! of course my friend just put me in the label of another crazy pregnant lady. I tried to explain to her how when I found out I was pregnant I mentioned to a good friend of mine who had 4 (yes, I said 4) children that I think I may have gotten pregnant the previous month and but still had a period. She said "NO, Melissa when you took the pregnancy test that line would have been blazing red!!" And I explained to her, yes, but you see it was like immediately all of the effects of pregnancy set in the day before, and the days following me finding out. My dear 4 child-bearing friend said "YES, that is how it WORKS"
Look at the below picture... see how the line gets more red everyday??? That is the hormones going from 0 to 60 in 4 days............. crazy!

You tell your friend that I second your opinion! I think my hormones went 0 to 100 in 2 days! Amazing that I never thought about it before. The day I found out I was pregnant, I just "knew" it and from that weekend on, exhaustion and everything else hit me like a train! Oooh, I hated being pregnant. But I think I want to do it again! :)
With Liv, I had the symptoms before I found out, but I "knew". With Gabe, I "knew" but got slammed with the symptoms after the test.
