Not feeling pregnant!

PhysioMama

Hi birth month group!

Firstly, I'll introduce myself as a west coast Canadian first time mom who works as a physiotherapist.

We are so excited to be pregnant with our first and delighted that our due date actually fell on my moms birthday!

I'm having a hard time feeling pregnant. Yes I have the tender and ever so swollen boobs, and I feel I need about twice the amount of sleep as normally, but other than that, in having a hard time believing that I'm actually pregnant and keep wondering if I should actually take another pregnancy test.

Is this normal? Is anyone else feeling like this? Any suggestions on how to make me feel more connected?

Thanks mamas!

Normal. Count yourself lucky.

bookqueen

Yup, normal. It's the same for me.

minivanmafia

Same here!

I feel the same and I've taken 10 pregnancy tests where there's been no doubt. Besides the sore chest, I feel the same. I can't even tell if I'm more tired because I'm off from work for summer so all I'm doing is relaxing. Part of me wishes I had morning sickness so I'd be feeling more pregnant. I'm about to enter my 7th week on Monday, so maybe it will kick in then?

LittleLotero

Same here. I'm six weeks today.

Yep! I've taken countless HPT and all positive but all of a sudden all symptoms just went away this week. I was experiencing some light nausea and fatigue but now I feel normal so you're not alone!

I am experiencing ZERO pregnancy symptoms, so at least you have some boob soreness going on. Sounds normal.

Thanks all! Funnily enough, I actually went out and bought another pregnancy test tonight just because I felt so disconnected.
Yep... Still pregnant!

I was good last pregnancy til 6 weeks. Then like a ton a bricks symptoms hit me.

MrsJ2522

I don't have any symptoms! I'm tired, but I feel like I was tired before anyways. I don't have sore boobs at all, they may look a bit bigger though. I have no nausea, so I think the soreness for you and tiredness is plenty!! Just like @E3A7AGGIE said, you are very normal!

GeeFlint

I felt the same until this past week. Hunger and fatigue have overwhelmed me terribly. I'm no good. Lol! I'm exactly 5weeks today. Enjoy your No symptom ride!!!

I've been that way myself. I said something to DH about it last night, something along the lines of "I keep waiting for pregnancy symptoms to hit me really hard." He looked at me like I was crazy and said: "Seriously? It's knocked you over a few times already." It made me wonder if I'm feeling it more than I realize. I think I was expecting something more consistently terrible. I'm trying to enjoy the smooth(ish) sailing while it lasts.

Try to enjoy it while it lasts!

Same here! Until last night u started feeling more bloated and gassy..

I really felt like I was pregnant before I could even get confirmatiom from a test and had lots of symptoms early on; fatigue, bloating, headaches, cramps and breast tenderness. Now I only have some breast tenderness and slight cramping. This is so weird. I hope it is normal...I keep expecting to have morning sickness but nothing. I'm not looking forward to it or anything but I just hope it doesn't mean something is wrong.

Same here!! I liked reading this post, made me feel like I wasn't crazy after all! I also took a 4th HPT and very positive. I think I just had to do it to remind myself this is real! I have been confirmed by my Dr as well, but the lack of symptoms just makes it hard to believe! 

littlehaitianmama328

Same here! I've taken five tests and they were all positive but other than my breasts being sore and being bloated BEYOND belief I don't feel pregnant and keep forgetting I am! I go to my first appt on 7/3 so I hope things will seem a bit more real after that!

rainbowminion

Right there with you ladies!

Hey ! Just 5 mins back I was wondering the exact same thing and then I saw your post it's my second preg and I seem to have forgotten all about it except in bits n pieces ! But I do rem terrible bouts of evening sickness and mood swings ! Nothing has been happening right now though... I just completed 5 weeks today ! But yeah my legs are giving me a hell of a time and I want to sleep so much ... Maybe that's the clue

funkypineapple

Add me to the list. 

Other than wanting to go to bed early, all other symptoms seemed to have disappeared. I'm right at 6 weeks and if I didn't have my first Dr appt in a few days, I'd be getting another test just to make sure.

I am 6w1d and I have had basically no symptoms. Only mild cramping and my emotions are in hyperdrive (especially the crying part). No tender breasts and no sick feeling stomach. I know it's crazy to ask for symptoms but I find myself thinking the same thing sometimes. Then I stop really fast and count myself lucky that I haven't her to deal with those things yet.

Wurrkingurrl

Same here, just tired.  I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts!  I was horribly dizzy with my son for most of my pregnancy... hoping that doesn't happen this time!

amandaswan

Same for me! This is my second pregnancy and I keep thinking that something may be wrong because all I feel is overtired ( which may be contributed by my 2.5 yr old ) and some mild cramping. My last pregnancy I had constant morning sickness at this point. Not that I want it the morning sickness, but it feels weird not to have it yet.

jeggs14

Same for me! I'm six weeks today and this is my first so I have no idea what's normal. It seems weird to me that I don't feel anything! I definitely pee more but I have also been drinking a ton of water so might not be because of the pregnancy.

I really can't wait for my diet Drs appt so they can confirm everything is going smoothly ( I really hope!)

Oh wow, I feel like I'm on the same boat as you with the symptoms and having taken so many test that are no doubt all positive, I too turn 7 weeks on Monday too, how exciting
