I cannot relate to pregnant women.

Anyone else? I am almost 22 weeks and to this day I have zero symptoms. None. No cravings or true adversions, no morning sickness, no mood swings, no nothing. I see all these women on here and other forums talking about serious cravings and round ligament pain and raring hormones. I feel nothing. About a week ago I atarted feeling kicks, but they aren't frequent at all yet. If if wasn't for those kicks I still would not have anything that I could make me say " oh wow I'm pregnant" . I hardly have a bump even and can still fit all my clothes and I don't see a change coming any time soon. Anyone else?

Me...ive never had morning sickness or mass cravings etc. Only very small symptoms. Im 25 weeks almost 26 weeks and frequently feel him kick every day. But before i started feeling him, it was odd for me to know im pregnant. Also im only just starting to show a nice belly but its still not completely noticeable to everyone. Im also on the bigger side so thats why its taken a while to start showing. A lot of people i have told have been surprised as i just dont seem pregnant lol.

Even though I did have very bad ms with my first (I assume this is your first) besides that I had no other symptoms up until the time I felt the baby move. Even now on my 3rd baby, I sometimes forget I'm pregnant though I have more symptoms this time, the hours that go by without a little bit of Round ligament pain, I sometimes forget I'm pregnant

I don't get MS when I'm pregnant, and that really seems to anger all the women I know. I try to point out that I have had SPD both times and it balances out, but some people just seem really irked that I don't throw up.

Haha, that's ridiculous! I am jealous of you for sure, but would never be angry at someone for not having morning sickness.

I know you probably hear it all the time that you should be happy you have no symptoms, but as someone who has had miscarriages I can understand how it would be nerve wracking to have no indication that there is a baby in there. I am 15 weeks and still suffering with morning sickness, I am so sick of being sick!

I feel very similar. I had a lot of symptoms and nausea in weeks 6-12 but since then I feel pretty normal. I still fit in most of my clothes, and when I tell people I'm pregnant, they always say things like "I never would've guessed, you don't look pregnant!" While that is really a nice compliment, I really wish I would show a bunch more so that the world will recognize me as a pregnant lady. I hate going to baby stores because I am surrounded by ladies who are showing and I feel like I'm not part of the club, or that they're judging me as just another babysick lady who can't wait to get pregnant so she spends her time wandering around baby stores and obsessing.

I started feeling kicks, lots of kicks, last week, and I still don't really feel pregnant or like I can relate to those ladies who are much further along.

I don't think people are angry; it's just a frustrating situation to be reminded that some people have an easy time when you can barely drag yourself to work. It just makes everything feel harder. Does that make sense? It's more a sense of being frustrated by the situation, rather than angry at the person who doesn't have any symptoms. Also most people who have morning sickness still have all of the other issues that come with pregnancy too. I had back surgery when I was 15 so I am used to the pain to some extent, but it's still hard to stay positive. I wouldn't say that throwing up is even close to the worst thing I have experienced

Well put! I'd never ever be angry at someone for having an easy time, but my last pregnancy was so hard, I'd cry thinking my body was rejecting the baby/broken while my friends went out, kept working, could walk further then 10feet and managed to not have a close relationship with a bucket...
Took me 2.5 years to even contemplate going through it again, and this time it's not easy, but a million times easier! So I guess I'm a little jealous and wish I could be part of your club rather then the one I was in! ;-)

I'm 24 weeks and in the same boat. If he didn't move I wouldn't even hardly know. My only thing this time was super low iron that made me exhausted, but that was happening anyway, so i haven't considered it a symptom. It has been a small blessing to me though, being pregnant after losing a child is so hard. The first few months I basically wanted to pretend I wasn't pregnant.

This is my first pregnancy and I didn't get morning sickness. I had some nausea for a few weeks, slightly sore boobs, and I was tired but that's about it. I haven't had any weird cravings. I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow and people are shocked when I tell them. They think I'm only like 25 or so weeks along. I'm just all baby!
