How did you all get preggers?
I have been meaning to ask for a while now. Thought it would be interesting to read eachothers stories about where and how you conceived your lo. Were you TTC for a while or did it happen suddenly, also...what was the sex position that you used to get pregnant?? Did you use any tricks or old wives tales that helped?
For us it was another welcomed surprise. I was in uni and my oh had just finished his legal practise course so it wasn't brilliant timing, but we're so happy and looking forward to having our girl. And it was doggy style that got me pregnant (blush)

I can't say when exactly it happened or which position as we (used to!!!) have sex at least every day! But he wasnt conceived in any original place like a toilet or a car - haha - just the bedroom, though I bet some people have some right stories. xxx
Our was 'just a bedroom' too!! I bet there are some weird and wonderful places where other mums conceived!!
20 days to go!
With Evie was were having unprotected regular sex for a year! then with this lo, it was once unprotected then BAM! i get preg 1st time!! i think having babies makes you more fertile..
I had been taken the pill for nearly 12 years and when we decided to have a baby I presumed it would take a little while and we did not try in the sense of trying. Think we only had sex a few times since I had stopped taking it and I got pregnant straight away (we presumed it would take about 6 to 12 months, don't know where we had that old wives tale from!). Anyway, only boring bedroom sex here, too. :P
Max was conceived in a Buddhist centre!!
Must have been some good karma...
I had been on the pill for 15 years so thought it would take a while but 6 weeks later we found out I was four weeks gone after having only one normal period cycle!
Over the moon!
We were at it every other night (purposely as they say thats best for optimum sperm) and usually in the bedroom although I have an inclination that it was either over the banister on the landing or on the dining room table!!
(Be fair, we had just got married!!!).
I tended to lay very unattractively on the bed with my legs in the air and a pillow under my bum (Mums recommendation!)for about 10 minutes after each 'session' too to help them swim!! hehe.....
One of our 'tactics' clearly worked!
Wey hey, now only 7 and a half weeks to go!

I had started to read the Zita West books on conception and one tip I picked up was not to use the loo for 20 minutes after sex and to lie very still on my back - but who knows if any of it actually worked!! It was only the week before easter and still no periods that we started to think 'maybe you should go to the doctors??!' and there it was
p.s I think OH was on top but can't remember
Not sure when or what position but glad it happened
xxxxxxxxx
I've got or had endometrosis (never been investigated since my diagnosis to see if the patch had dried up) and was told it can take a while to conceive.... bit of a surprise it happened so quickly!! Did you know why it took 18 mnths or was it one of those things?
Funny part about it was, the night I concieved was Rich's birthday and we were both really, really drunk as we had been out celebrating and Rich woke me up at 6 in the morning as I was in stepsons bed!!! I don't even remember getting home let alone what bed I got in so we must have done the deed sometime but neither of us can remember!!!
I won't be telling LO that story bless s/he but it definately a story to remember!!!

I had been to visit family for a week... when I came back we went on a night out together, and came home (early) and stayed up till 4am having nookie! lol I menber joking to a mate how I needed that after a week with none! lol This is going to sound daft.. but I remember feeling oh that was special! I was on a high! OH text me the next day from work saying 'last night was amazing babes! lol can't wait for more later! xxx'
we did spoons, me on top, him on top, doggy and reverse cowgirl lol ... so not sure which had the magic touch! lol
But..Mum was rushed into hospital and I was under loads of stress so didn't do it again for about a week which was unusual for us! and with in three weeks of that 'special' night lol my mate looked at me and said 'oh my god your pregnant'.. my mum said it to me later that day too.. I did 4 tests all came up with in seconds of weeing on the stick!
When the doctors and sonographer were working out my dates I almost told them about our night lol... she just said lol I don't need to hear!! haha...
lol I must learn to be more shy! haha xxx

My first baby was about 3 months old when we started bedroom action again...got a bit carried away one day and didn't use a condom and hey presto I was pregnant again. We're definitely gonna be more careful this time!
