Still waiting for it to be real....

msprouse111 · July 2010

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and I'm still waiting to feel pregnant. I've been lucky to have no morning sickness and only settling in cramps, so life isn't really that different. I've had my ultrasound and got to see the heartbeat and the baby moving! but I still don't "feel" pregant. Maybe when I start showing? This is my first pregnancy and I guess I just expected....expected to feel pregnant. Anyone else feel this way?

I've had some m/s but it still doesn't feel real to me. I can't believe there is a baby in there!

Yeah, its normal. Some say that's the biggest complaint in the beginning or early stages. I have waves of feeling like this but then I get sick or have cramps and I'm reminded quickly. Try to relax and enjoy this time (speaking from someone who gets the same feelings).

I felt this way up until I heard the heartbeat. That made it feel real for me.

I'm the same way, and this is my second pregnancy. My NT scan is next week, and I'll be in the second trimester then. I'm hoping both of those will put my mind at ease.

I don't feel pregnant either... besides the "all-day" sickness! And I haven't had an US or heard the heart beat yet.... and the Dr. never even repeated the pregnancy test, so I have no "proof" of my pregnancy! (besides the puking!)

I also feel left out, it feels like everybody else's tickers are so much farther along then mine... But since my due date is January 29, I guess I'm one of the "babies" of this group!

Your due date may change, my first US my Dr moved my due date up 3 days. I was 1/25, now 1/22. And I'm still working on figuring out the tickers Tongue Tied

I'm the same way...I rented a doppler so I like the nice little reminder that there is a baby in there

Yep I feel that way. I have very few symptoms except occasional m/s that just started but goes away quickly. My boobs don't even hurt anymore. I could wear my regular clothes but I prefer maternity clothes since I don't feel pressure from the waist band and therefore don't have to pee as much. Plus it is a reminder. I don't "feel" pregnant which makes me sad but I do whatever I can to prepare. We did see a tiny flicker hb I think at 6w5d but the baby was just a splotch then. I'd rather have another where s/he looked like there was a head and body but that likely won't happen for another 10 weeks. I think that once we find out the gender or I start feeling kicks it will be more real. Until then I'll just keep doing what I am doing, singing to my belly (even though the baby can't hear until 7 months), sewing and crocheting, and sleeping all the time. Even though I don't feel pg though, knowing that I am brings me so much joy.

I'm in that limbo too. I had my first u/s @ 6w 4d, and found out that my baby is about 3 or 4 days ahead as well. It was so cute to see the little heart on the monitor and hear it. Earlier this week we had a doppler and got to hear the heart again (well, faintly- mine was SO much louder!)... but my morning sickness is going away. My normal clothes are uncomfortable- but they fit. I'm scheduled for my 'anatomical scan' the 1st week of August, and that excites me! I hope I look and feel more preggo by then!
