9 Weeks & Not Feeling Pregnant

in 1st Trimester

I am at a point right now where I know I'm pregnant but it doesnt feel like I'm pregnant.  Maybe its just me, but I've talked to my mom and sister-in-law and both say its normal.  Thats a little weird to be considered normal, I think, but this is my first so I just have to go by what I hear or read about.  I had a really rocky 6-8 weeks where I was back and forth at the midwife's offices doing all kinds of tests, so that reaffirmed my pregnancy (at least mentally for me).  I had my first ultrasound and saw my little runt so that was a big help for me in making it real.

Right now, though, I feel like I should pregnancy test just to calm my nerves.  My fiance thnks I'm crazy.  I know I'm still pregnant so that isnt my concern.  I just feel like I should be feeling something other than nothing. 

I can't be the only who has felt like this at one point in time.  has anyone else ever felt like they weren't pregnant?

    Been there, felt like that, there again.

    The closer we get to the 2nd tri the better we feel.  The 2nd tri is the honeymoon stage of pregnancy where we start to show and feel fantastic.  Then we get uncomfortable, sometimes revisit first tri issues again like nausea, heartburn, etc. and boom, there's baby. Party!!!

    It is totally normal. I am at 12 weeks, all symptoms have subsided & I feel nothing. I know baby is there, but I feel like my normal self right now. Enjoy the fact that you aren't sick & that you're feeling well! It is short lived, once the 3rd tri rolls around, things get uncomfortable again.

    Even when I'm having symptoms I'm feeling like this. I feel so detached from the whole thing. I'm hoping at my appointment next week it becomes a little more real to me... but until then I just keep reminding myself that its real and that the "feeling" will come!

    thats such a weird normal thing, lol.  I guess I'm just in a hurry to feel the baby squirm around in there. I've been told to enjoy it while it's easy right now, but I think that's a learning process for me.

    The first kicks are fun, but when it turns into internal kicks to the crotch and swift kicks in the lungs, well the novelty wears off rather quickly.

    I know where you are coming from, I have the symptoms then I dont but all 6 test say yes I'm pregnant but then a few days past by & I'm wondering if I'm still pregnant or something. I'm anxious to see my baby for the first time next week with an U/S. Until then I keep this going on wondering about my baby & if he/she is okay & growing like they are suppose be growing. =)

    I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow and don't feel pregnant either. Besides the extreme exhaustion and the nagging hunger... My breast hurt on and off and I haven't had any morning sickness... When I've been on my feet too long my back starts hurting and I'll get a little crampy... But in general I feel normal, I think it's worse that I'm a little "fluffy" normally (I'm a size 11/12) so I'm not even showing a little bit yet... I want my bump... Can't wait for my appt on Thursday, I get to see LO again and that should alleviate some of my anxiety!
