Does anyone else just not feel pregnant??

[BrollyDolly]

So my 12 week scan is 2 weeks away, I lost the majority of my symptoms a couple of week ago and I generally just don't feel pregnant. Is this normal because I haven't seen baby yet?? Anyone else feeling the same?? I'm worried I'm going to get to my scan still symptomless and will be told baby stopped growing in week 7 or something when everything disappeared. I know I can't do anything to change it if that happens so I'm not overly stressing and causing myself panic. I'd just feel slightly less worried if I knew there were others feeling similar or who have felt like this but everything turned out fine.
Sorry for the rambled post haha Xx

I'm 8 weeks and 3 days and my symptoms have been on and off (mostly off) for about a week. I'm worried too so I know what you feel like. From what I've read, symptoms can start to decrease around 8 weeks. I'm sure everything will be fine for both of us, mine is in 3 weeks! I don't feel too pregnant either but I think it's cause it's still so early with no bump or anything

 

[HappyBump25]

It's normal. With DS, I had symptoms for two weeks (other than some fatigue) in first tri and that's it. Don't fret it!

I also had ultrasound a week ago and saw a healthy baby and heartbeat!

me !! i post so much on these type of threads lol. I am getting close to 11 weeks and 0 symptoms for me lol. I did have any all throughout my pregnancy. But i do know your stress of not knowing you know i didnt get an ultrasound until 20 weeks with my daughter. The only way of knowing she was ok was getting to hear her hb with the doppler then after my 20 week scan i was feeling her so lets just say i was a nervouse reck for the first half of my pregnancy lol. I had some slight nausea 7-8 weeks with my son and nothing after that either. Try not to worrie. Have you heard the hb with a doppler yet?

 

[Duejan2012]

and even this time i had a scan at 6 weeks but then nothing until 20 weeks again. Im soo jelouse of you ladies that get scaned at 12 weeks... lol

I think it's totally normal b/c I'm 17 weeks and still don't feel pregnant all the time. I barely had any "pregnancy" symptoms and b/c of that, it makes it feel surreal sometimes. I'm waiting for my bump to show up so it'll be a constant reminder My baby has been fine on my scans and I listen to his/her heartbeat everyday for that extra reassurance.

 

[BrollyDolly]

Have you heard the hb with a doppler yet?

Not yet. I've read so many stories where women haven't found a heartbeat I think that'd make me worse haha. I'm sure 2 weeks will fly by and then I'll wonder what on earth I was worried about Xx

 

[Duejan2012]

yeah i know what you mean. Dont worrie even after that scan the worries never end until the baby is born then new worries arrise ha. Just remember at your doc appointment between scans and stuff they will listen to the hb with a doppler. And if you ever need reasurrance im sure that you doc will let you come in just to hear the hb. Mine did many times haha

5 weeks until 11 weeks I was tired
7 weeks to 8 1/2 weeks sore boobs
on and off the entire pregnancy burning nipples
That is all I have had and I'm 15 weeks 2 days preggy. I still don't believe it's real that I'm preggy and there is someone growing inside of me. I don't look it I don't feel it. I'm just a lucky one.

I was just talking to DH about this in the store. I am almost 11 weeks and have had horrible ms, fatigue, bloating, sore boobs, increase hunger, emotional, the works basically, but it still doesn't feel real to me at all yet. I haven't heard a heart beat yet, no scans yet, not for another 9 days, and no belly either. Sure I talk about it as if it were nothing, I probably have it on my mind all the time, but I guess the fact that I am going to be a mom to 2 soon just hasn't really hit me

Other than showing almost right away with my first pregnancy, I didn't have too many symptoms after the first few weeks and even then it was just the extreme fatigue. Other than that I never had food aversions, severe smell distress (LOL), morning sickness or anything! I'm very short somewhat small boned so I popped right away. That was about the only reason I felt pregnant, to be honest!

 

[marie_sims]

Some days I almost forget I am pregnant...but then morning sickness kicks back in and I am reminded.

My symptoms have eased although nausea is still there most of the time and its getting worse when I'm trying to eat and I feel the urge to gag before I swallow. Earlier on I had really sore boobs, bad fatigue, food aversions and nausea and cramps... Now my boobs are only a tad tenders every now and then, I'm not nearly as tired and the cramps I was getting have eased for now.. Still have food aversions and nausea though but no vomiting which is great. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow, had an early scan at 6+3 and saw a healthy baby with a good heartbeat. At the start of my 8th week I was so paranoid I was about to miscarry again even though nothing felt abnormal like my first pregnancy.. Every now and then I do wonder whats going on inside b/c I don't 'feel' as pregnant as I did a couple of weeks ago but then nausea and the urge to gag hit me and I come back to my senses. 3 weeks until my 12 week NT scan so all I can do is be patient lol

I am so sorry for bringing this up again and you're probably thinking oh here she is again but I am sat here in pieces because I just need to get it off my chest...I'm blaming watching One Born Every Minute haha

I have almost convinced myself that I'm having/had/going to have a mmc. My symptoms aren't coming and going they are just gone, totally totally totally gone, no sore or tender boobs, no nausea, no tiredness just totally emotional but I think thats purely because I'm convinced my baby has gone. I've got almost another 2 week to wait for my first scan and I don't think I'm going to make it. I want to buy a Doppler to try and convince myself but they all say "from 14 weeks", what if I buy one and my baby is fine but I can't hear it?? I don't know what I'd do. I wish I could afford a private scan but just don't have the cash spare. I'm so down right now and can not stop crying sorry for moaning ladies, I know you all have your own things going on too xx

 

[Baby.Bliss]

I feel exactly the same way!! I was visiting my mum last night and she was saying how I've got it so easy right now and even when I had symptoms it wasn't torture or anything (I actually semi enjoyed it). I would be lying black and blue if I said since my symptoms have eased that I wasn't terrified something has gone wrong... I am 9 weeks 1 day today and I saw a heartbeat at 6weeks 3days but what if bubs heartbeat stopped at 8 weeks when my symptoms started to go away.. I have 3 weeks until my 12 weeks scan it just feels like forever!! I've already had a MC and I really don't want to lose this baby but I am so worried something has happened

 

[Mrsmac02]

I hear you hun! I had a few niggles early on but then nada! I have exactly the same worries and all I can say is chin up, try to relax and do things to take your mind off it - two weeks will fly by a d before you know it, you'll be posting scan pics! Xx

 

[BrollyDolly]

Thanks ladies, I know I'm not the first and definitely won't be the last woman on earth to feel like this its just so shit isn't it. I think what makes it harder is when you've had previous losses and then a lifetimes wait to fall pregnant again, you start to question every little thing and I know personally I'm asking myself if I can cope with it all over again. If it happens I can't change it but it definitely doesn't stop me from getting upset
I'm hoping the days do go by quick, I have a few things planned to try and focus on in the meantime. Thanks again I really appreciate it xxx

 

[bornfree78]

BrollyDolly, I am sure your scan will be fine. I am jealous of you At least you had symptoms for them to disappear. For me it is nil, nada, zilch symptoms! I badly want to throw up all day long, feel sore (.)(.), have food aversions etc. etc. but it just won't come Given my past history (my signature), I just know in my heart that this too will be another MC This is the worst part...knowing what is about to happen and being unable to stop it. Enough about me though! God bless you with a healthy n happy 9 months, with a cute baby at the end of it.

 

[Brightstarshi]

Yes I get days like that,then another day I feel really pregnant.
