I am including two stories here to give you an idea of what I was getting
at when I asked for a conception intuition. The reason why I am posting to
a Pagan newsgroup is because, in my experience, Pagans seem to be closer to
their intuition. I am seeking the stories because I am thinking of writing a
book on women's intuition.
I am looking, primarily, to hear from folks -- both expectant mothers and
expectant fathers -- who have had an intuition of conception before a
pregnancy test can detect pregnancy.
I am especially interested in episodes that occurred during, immediately
after, or within a few hours of lovemaking
I am also interested in hearing what the conception intuition felt like. .
The following stories are quite dramatic. I don't expect anything as
dramatic as these. My and my wife's own conception intuition (we had
conception intuitions in all our four pregnancies) was undramatic. Jan felt
"a warm, inner glow." I felt like something "magical" had occurred.
Patrick, a father in California, had a dramatic conception intuition. "My
wife and I decided to try to make a baby," Patrick recalls. "One night,
during lovemaking, I had the strongest feeling that we were doing just that.
I seemed at some level to feel the creative forces merge to form a girl. So
strong was the perception, immediately afterward, I leaped out of bed and
wrote on the calendar, 'This night my baby girl was conceived.'
"Six weeks later the doctor told us that my wife was six weeks pregnant!
All through the pregnancy I seemed aware at some level of my daughter, a
connection that has persisted to this day (she's twelve now)."
Patrick's experience, though dramatic, is hardly unique.
Thousands of parents experience conception intuitions. And many have
intuitions of conception long before technology can detect pregnancy.
Erica's story is a striking example. After making love, she realized with a
quiet certainty that her second child had been conceived. "It was a
healthy, peaceful, exciting feeling," Erica recalls. "I told my husband,
'I'm pregnant!' The next day I made an appointment with my physician."
Erica's first child was only three months old at the time. Erica hadn't
even had a period yet. The chances of conception were exceedingly slim. But
she informed her physician, "I know I'm pregnant."
"How can you know?' the physician asked skeptically.
"I don't know how I know. I just know," Erica insisted.
Her doctor told her it was impossible to test for pregnancy only a few
hours after conception. And it was certainly impossible for her to know she
was pregnant. But Erica wouldn't be put off. Finally, to humor her, the
physician made an appointment for three weeks later. He was astounded when
the test came out positive. "You really are pregnant!" he exclaimed.
Biologically, the conception intuition is impossible. No one can feel such
a tiny process occurring within the body (though women are sometimes aware
of the time of ovulation). Yet thousands of parents have conception
intuitions and take them as much a part of pregnancy as tingling breasts.
