What has made this pregnancy feel “real” for you?

Still doesn't! My symptoms are soo different than my first pregnancy. I often don't feel pregnant despite the bump I can no longer hide. 12 week ultrasound will make it really sink in.

Today at my midwife appt their little handheld ultrasound was the clearest ultrasound I’ve ever had. I got to really see baby’s facial features and it was just like oh wow there really is another little person in there (causing all this chaos to me hehe)

Finally being able to tell friends and family has made it more real for me! I have a mini bump forming so that’s been affirming too.

I don’t think it will feel real until I get my first ultrasound which isn’t until 7/18

It still feels totally surreal. Probably feeling baby kick regularly will help! And seeing a visible bump rather than just looking like I ate Chipotle 😆.

But some of your comments make me think we should start HDBD! I'll post one tomorrow.

Seeing surrobabe on ultrasound has made it feel real. I actually just finished cleaning our triage room so after I was done, I globbed on some gel to take a look at little boy. He was going nuts wiggling all around! But for me it feels the realest when I start feeling those movements.

Seeing the ultrasound made it real for a bit. Now I get little jolts of “oh yeah it’s real!” when I tell a new friend or something.

What is this “real” you speak of?! 😂 I still feel like I’m imagining this whole thing. Were it not for my fatigue, and the desperate need for beef and new, bigger, comfy bras, I wouldn’t even even feel pregnant! I put our ultrasound printout on the fridge though to remind myself I’m not alone, and it does help.

@cbhclark you worded it perfectly!

It feels most real when I get an ultrasound and for a few days after. It’s been three plus weeks since my last ultrasound and I’m so anxious for Thursday when I get to see baby again. 

Intuition tells me baby is there and I can feel that but I have such a hard time believing things I can’t see are real. I’m trying to just trust my feelings and not my eyes 😂

@jesofthenorth  it didn’t feel real with my first until I was like 36 weeks and could feel him kicking me nonstop lol so it’s still early!

I am definitely having a harder time connecting with this pregnancy than my others.  I know it's just because I am so afraid of losing this baby too.  I always feel better when I know the sex and we have a name that I can call the baby and when I feel them move.

First appointment/ultrasound was today, so now after seeing the little bean it seems real, I don't just feel not 100% for no reason!  We haven't told anyone yet, so it might feel even more real after we actually do that haha.

I know I’m pregnant I’m just waiting to feel like it I guess. I’ve had my first sono done last week and I cried. I have two girls 17 and 13 so I’m literally starting over. This pregnancy definitely feels different from the first two. I do talk to the baby here and there I just hate that I forget sometimes it’s in there.

I told my most important ppl but some of them I wish I didn’t tell.

I think that’s what I’m waiting on, movement!
