I really hate it when some fanfics write about a couple having some ual activities one day and then miraculously after just a few short days, the female becomes pregnant, and she knows it too.

You're pregnant when an egg is fertilized by a cell. However, it's nearly impossible to tell you're pregnant the instant it happens because pregnancy is only detectable when it starts producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). And this doesn't happen until the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of your uterus. For some women, that could take up to six days, and in others it doesn't happen until after a missed period. In other words, it seems to take an eternity.

Which means to say that it is possible for people to find out if they’re pregnant a week after (it’s rare though), but a few days after? Just no.

Also if you didn't know, pregnancy is not easily detected during the first stages and obvious symptoms won’t show till at least a month later. I’m not saying there aren’t any symptoms at all, but nausea and vomiting are not one of them.

A few days after conception, the fertilized egg attaches itself to wall of the uterus. This can cause one of the earliest signs of pregnancy -- spotting and, sometimes, cramping.

That's called implantation bleeding. It occurs anywhere from six to 12 days after the egg is fertilized.

The cramps resemble menstrual cramps, so some women mistake them and the bleeding for the start of their period. The bleeding and cramps, however, are slight.

Besides bleeding, a woman may notice a white, milky discharge from her . That's related to the thickening of the 's walls, which starts almost immediately after conception. The increased growth of cells lining the causes the discharge.

Or after their first time together, the female just so gets pregnant coincidentally. Let me tell you something, it’s not that easy to get pregnant. However, I’m not ruling out the possibility of that happening. I mean sure, I know many people who got pregnant on their first try too (this especially happens to people who are involved in one-night-stands in the stories, just saying). (And I’m actually shooting myself as I write stories about the female getting pregnant on the first time too)

Also, fetal movement is only felt about 16 weeks into pregnancy, which means that if the female places her hand oh-so-gently on her stomach before that, she won’t feel anything. However, some may “imagine” the feeling and think that it’s real. Just like how some people feel insects crawling on their skin when there isn’t anything. The below two articles were taken from two sources, take your pick on which to believe. Either one, they’re all pretty similar.

You'll probably start to be aware of something at about 18 weeks to 20 weeks of your pregnancy (Hijazi and East 2009, RCOG 2011).

If this is your first pregnancy, it may take you a while to realise that those gentle fluttering feelings (quickening) in your tummy are your baby's movements. Being aware of these first, tiny sensations inside is an exciting landmark for most mums-to-be.

If you've had a baby before, you'll know the tell-tale signs, and may notice your baby moving around as early as 16 weeks (RCOG 2011).

You should feel your baby’s first movements, called “quickening”, between weeks 16 and 25 of your pregnancy. If this is your first pregnancy, you may not feel your baby move until closer to 25 weeks. By the second pregnancy, some women start to feel movements as early as 13 weeks. You’re more likely to feel the baby move when you’re in a quiet position, either sitting or lying down.

Examples (based on real cases):

My thoughts were on the events that happened a few nights before. It couldn't be!

Comments: Of course it couldn't be, it happened only a few nights before like you said.

I started feeling nausea and had the urge to vomit out my lunch. These symptoms… I couldn't be pregnant, right? I mean, we only had a week ago after so long of not being ually active.

Comments: Chances are you have stomach flu instead. Even my mother didn't know I was there till her third month or something. But then again, it all depends on the mother herself.

The doctor told me that I was already 8 weeks into the pregnancy. I hovered my hand over my stomach and pressed lightly against it. Did the baby just kick?

Comments: No. You’re imagining it.

He pressed his ear on my stomach. I can’t believe it already spent 12 weeks inside of me without my knowledge. “Omo, did my little one just kick?” He exclaimed.

Comments: Still no. If the mother can’t feel it, chances are the father won’t too. And it’s freaking 2 inches long, it does not have the ability to kick.

If there are other things you want to add in, feel free to leave a comment below! And if I made any mistakes, point it out so readers won’t read the wrong information!

I think that’s it for the first entry. Ciao!
