Am I the only one?

Am I the only one who still feels like it's really early and isn't thinking months ahead in this pregnancy? I am trying not to get ahead of myself until I make it to my first prenatal appointment and know that everything is on track. I haven't thought about symptoms and I am literally just trying to take it day by day. I know people just like to post things for fun conversation topics, but I still keep forgetting that I'm even pregnant.

Re: Am I the only one?

  • I definitely feel like it's early, but I'm also looking ahead.  I think about my symptoms for sure, though, because I feel pretty pregnant.  So it's kinda up front in my mind.  No morning sickness, but I feel pregnant in other ways... so it's hard not to think about it daily.

    And while I know losses happen and I'm not naive, I'm still super excited.. so I like to look ahead. I'm a first timer, though, and maybe that's partly it? It's all really new to me.

  • Yeah, it feels really early to me. I actually thought I shouldn't be feeling any symptoms and thought it was in my head until I came here and read that other people are having the same stuff. It feels really surreal still. I also keep thinking that I can't possibly be lucky enough to have this first pregnancy go off without a hitch.

  • Meh. I'm trying as hard as I can to be excited and part of that is looking ahead for me. I've tried doing it differently and it sucked.
    That's a good point. I really am very excited but I guess I am still pretty nervous. But being positive can't hurt because there's no reason to be nervous if everything is fine!

  • I agree with @jessuhmarie.  One of the ways that I'm trying to stay positive is to look forward to the next little milestones and to notice even the little symptoms.  I'm not buying maternity clothes or anything yet, though. 
  • I just think everyone handles it differently.  I will say though, I can't imagine ever forgetting I am pregnant.  I'm a huge planner so even though this is number two, there is still a lot racing through my mind in terms of maternity leave, costs for baby, etc.  I'll be thinking of something and then all of a sudden, I'll say, oh yeah, the baby will change that.  Etc.

  • I think not thinking about it much is great if that's what you want to do - it makes time go by faster. I didn't think too much about it during my last pregnancy, but it was also easy to do as I had almost no symptoms before my first ultrasound. I didn't even join a pregnancy forum. I just didn't really want to get excited and didn't feel the need to.

    This time I'm already nauseous on and off throughout the day and it's really hard to ignore. If I'm not getting excited about the end result, I'm just going to be feeling shitty. 

  • It's funny because after my original post saying that I forget I'm pregnant... well today I have been a complete zombie with exhaustion and hardly able to keep up with my daughter. I guess I can't deny that I am pregnant after all.

  • For me looking forward is what is keeping me positive. I'm not really acting on anything yet, but I'm a planner, so I of course have many plans in my head already.
