Is anyone else just going crazy at/around 18 weeks?

Hey everyone....

Just had to lay this out there -- and see if it's just me. So, I'm just over 18 weeks, a little "fluffy" pre-PG....and I'm starting to get nutz. I mean, I'm not showing yet...I can't feel the baby moving yet...and I have been lucky not to have any horrible symptoms. Honestly, other than my every 4 week appointments, I wouldn't know I was pregnant....AND I WANT TO START FEELING PREGNANT and knowing on my own that this little one is OK. Is this just a frustrating part of pregnancy, where you're just waiting for things to start happening???

Anyone else feel this way??

One consolation is that we have our 20-week ultrasound in two weeks, so at least I'll get reminded that I am pregnant via a pic of my little one and hearing the heartbeat again....=)

For me, the most frustrating period of pregnancy is the time between morning sickness stopping and you being able to feel the baby. It's exactly what you said, a time when you get some energy back but are hella nervous because you don't feel pregnant. It will pass. GL!

I feel the same way. I am just waiting for something, anything to happen. We have an ultrasound on Wednesday so I'm sure I'll feel better after that. I am just trying to relax about it though and enjoy still wearing my regular clothes and not feeling like crap. Our time will come!

I am the EXACT same way! I live for the 4w appts since I can hear the HB. Our 20w is Feb 10th and I can't wait! You are not alone in feeling this way!

I'm jealous that you're not showing...I'm at the stage where people look at me funny cause it's not obvious that I'm pregnant, but it's pretty obvious that I've gained a significant amount of weight. Ugh...

The 2 weeks will fly by, GL!

I'm so with you on this. I have a tiny bit of a bump but not really and I'm ready to feel the baby all the time. I felt a little tap tap last night, which I know was the baby, but I want to feel it again! Now! I told someone recently that I forget I'm pregnant sometimes. I'm not sick or exhausted or showing. I hate this in between part!

Hi guys, right there with you...I also feel like I can't start buying stuff yet or I will jinx myself so I'm trying to hang in there for another 2 weeks, we'll get there!
