Anyone else having trouble believing it?

Jayzcee

This is going to sound so ridiculous but I am having real trouble believing I am pregnant and having confidence that everything will be ok! I've done POAS tests a million times, and I even had an early u/s last week and saw the heartbeat... But I still can't let myself believe this is truly happening! I'm 8w2d with my first after years of trying, and i am so happy to be expecting but so terrified! I think I expected to 'feel' pregnant but actually I just feel tired. I'm hoping the 12w scan will finally mean I believe it.. Does anyone else feel anything like this?!!

Yes! Sometimes it is really hard to believe if your symptoms are being real calm.  When I saw the heartbeat on the monitor I felt like I was watching a movie on tv.  Not real!  But it is

I felt almost a bit detached from it! I think I expected some sort of revelation...! Maybe when I see something that actually resembles a baby shape...

right there with ya! not sure why but this one hasn't sunk in for me yet either!

I understand how you're feeling...i am 8werks and I don't "feel" pregnant at all. No MS, no cramping, no increased urination, nothing! Part of me feels bad, since I don't have a sense of connection with my baby yet. I am hopping that the 12week scan will make it more real. I am thrilled about this pregnancy, but in a state of disbelief most days.

I feel the same way! I'm excited but not excited cuz I don't believe it...it's weird!!!! I can't wait for the 16th to see my baby and listen to the heartbeat again Maybe by then I will really catch on !!!

I'm 8wks and 2 days also, yesterday was my first ultrasound so for me that did help. For me I guess I'm starting to believe I'm pregnant but still hasn't set in yet that this pregnancy will result in a BABY in 7 months. lol

It may not "hit" you until a) you feel the baby moving or b) you actually HAVE the baby! I've heard of people being like this. Enjoy every moment!!

My husband and I are the same! We tried for years and this is our first. I think I'm 7 weeks, don't know for sure as I havehave a vvvvv irregular cycle! my first us is only scheduled in three weeks and we're waiting to see what's happening to make it feel real! I think we were so used to seeing neg tests that seeing that line pop up on the test was unbelievable- really ubelievable! I thought the test was faulty so did like six odd tests over three days! Still can't believe it, and we havent told anyone yet, so cant really talk to anyone about it- which is why being here is such a nice feeling! I think deep down we're scared to tell everyone and only then learn the worst. Hope it goes well for all !

I totally get it! We have tried so hard for so long and my lack of symptoms won't let me believe it. I am only 6 weeks 4 days. I am hoping hearing the heartbeat will help. I am also terrified that it's too good to be true and can't wait for the first trimester to be over!!

amberdawn01

Yes too good to be true is sort of the feeling I have, which is why in some ways I really just can't wait to have my baby in my arms but, yeah I'm just trying to enjoy every moment and remember the day will come when I have my baby!

This makes me feel better! I'm 8w2d and heard and saw heartbeat last week. I definitely have pregnancy symptoms but keep feeling like it's not going to feel 100% real until I start showing or I feel baby move. My next appointment isn't for another 4 weeks and we will only hear the heartbeat (no ultrasound). C'mon second trimester!!

Jayzcee

I am so relieved it's not only me! I started to think I was crazy...

When my son was born, I spent the first 12 weeks of his life feeling like I was going to have to give him back when I went back to work. It felt so surreal.

What made it feel "real" during my pregnancy was once I started collecting baby gear, which was around 25 weeks or so. Hearing the heartbeat, seeing the baby up on the screen, my growing belly, etc. made my pregnancy feel real, but it still didn't quite hit me that a baby was going to come out of that till I started getting the nursery ready and collecting his car seat and stuff.

I hardly believe it also. Except for the extreme fatigue and the on and off nausea, I feel fine. It was worse with my son because I had no symptoms at all. It started to feel real when I started to feel him moving.

Right up there with you. I don't feel pregnant at all. My BF keeps joking with me, "You're dying to feel sick, aren't you?"
My only "morning sickness" happened last week (my 7th week), I would feel mildly nauseous if my stomach was empty, usually before meals. This week, I'm fine. The only consistent symptom is that at night, usually around 8-9 pm, I get mild period-like cramps that last for a few hours. I've actually gone as far as taking a pregnancy test once a week to make sure I'm still pregnant. My first OB appointment is a week from today. I'm hoping that A) everything is ok and if it is, seeing the baby on the monitor will make it feel "real."

I feel like it's too good to be true, too. If this is what pregnancy is like, I'll have 10! Haha, not really!!

I'm feeling the same way. I'm at 7 weeks and 0 days, and I'm having very few symptoms. I'm tired, & I have to pee constantly, but that's about it. I'm worried all the time that I'll go in for the 8 week appointment next Friday and we won't be able to find anything on the sonogram. We finally told all of the parents what was going on, and it has felt a little more real since my mom has been getting excited about it. I think I can't really get into it because there's nothing for me to do or plan yet. If I was cleaning out the office to build the nursery already, I'm sure I would feel like I was working toward a real goal, but as of right now it kind of feels like I'm asking for something for Christmas that I don't think I'll get.

Definitely me! I have morning sickness and fatigue like crazy but the few days I don't I'm convinced I'm just making it all up. I hope my ultrasound in 2 weeks will help me to feel better about it. I'm 8 weeks 3 days now.

Thank you for posting this! My husband os so thrilled, but I can not be. Because I am too scared since I am still 7 weeks only and few symptoms, YES I cant wait to have that morning sickness people talk about:p I did hear the heart beat yesterday but I can not believe it!! I am dissociated from this as I wanted it so badly. Cant explain the feeling!! Good Luck to all of us!!
