Not feeling pregnant...and it freaks me out

 I was 17 weeks on Friday...and as of late, I feel fantastic.  Loads of energy, my boobs aren't sore...I just feel great in general (which I know is a very good thing!)  Though my first trimester I was a zombie so the drastic switch is a bit strange.  I thought I felt movement within the last week but haven't felt anything after that so I think my mind is playing tricks on me.   I have the big ultrasound on Friday and am a bit apprehensive...just want everything to be ok. Is anyone else out there in the same situation?  No movement yet and feeling wonderful to the point you don't "feel" pregnant?

    Yes! It's the weirdest thing. My first tri was pretty mellow too... Just a little nausea but I've been eating and working out basically the same. The only time I feel PG is first thing in the morning when my baby bump sticks out where it used to be flat between my hip bones (laying down). I wore maternity pants to church yesterday and my guy commented on me looking "super preggo" but I went back to regular jeans the rest of the day. I mean I want to feel really pregnant but everything still fits pretty well... I'll probably transition to maternity clothes in the next couple weeks.. Plus the a/s and knowing if I'm blue or pink I think will help. I do feel it ken the extra love I've been feeling from the people around me though.. So that helps... Good luck! And I'm sure we'll get there and miss the days of not feeling pregnant!

    Yes there are definitely multiple times in the day I forget I'm pregnant. I am def getting bigger and that reminds me, but symptom wise it has been pretty mild for me (some bad days here and there). Especially the frist tri it was really hard to believe because I didn't feel any different. I have been feeling little flutters of movement but it's not really sinking in it is an actual baby moving. I'm excited for the A/S, I agree with pp, I think when we find out blue or pink it will help.

    Besides my growing belly I don't really have any symptoms.  I felt flutters a few weeks ago but I haven't noticed any in several days.  But I'm confident he is just fine in there, my belly reminds me of that! My a/s is next Monday!! Super excited to see him again. :-)

    Despite my (IMO) huge belly, I don't feel pregnant most days. I keep saying once I hear the heartbeat, once I feel movement, once I see baby on u/s, once we find out if baby is a boy or girl...been there, done all that. I'm not sure when it's going to kick in but I hope soon. :)

    I think when we know the sex (those of us that are going to find out), it might seem more real?

    I'm with you guys too.  I still only kind of have a belly.  But I forget a lot of times during the day that I am pregnant.  Haven't really felt any flutters yet.  I use the doppler and hear the heartbeat so I know all is ok.  

    Maybe after my A/S scan, Wednesday, and i can say him or her, it will be more real.  But right now.. I don't really feel it.

    Lol my first trimester wasn't that bad but right around 13 weeks I started to feel wonderful. I mean I seriously feel as good if not better than before I was pregnant. The only thing is the heavy uterus feeling, sweet little kicks (DH felt one last night!!), and sore nipples. I'll take it! I think if the whole 9 months was just like the first trimester no one would want to have babies!

    I sometimes forget I'm pregnant, and then I remember and I'm so happy... And then I think how the hell am I going to shove a watermelon out my hoohaa in 4-5 months and proceed to have a mini heart attack :)
    Thanks for the laugh! :)

    Most days I don't feel pregnant either. During the beginning of the first tri, I started freaking out a little that something wasn't right because I didn't feel anything. Then around week 7, the symptoms hit me like a ton of bricks. And then I felt better about the pregnancy.

    Every now and again I feel like something might be wrong, but then I try to remain calm and remember that I know my own body better than anyone, and know that I would know if something was truly wrong.

    For now, I would be happy that you're feeling great because the coming months are going to bring some Vietnam flashbacks of first tri that will make you wish you were still in the second tri. Plus, shoving a watermelon sized football through your cooter come February will make all this stress seem like a Fantasyland ride at Disneyland!

    I am so happy that this thread is here! I feel the exact same way. I'm 17w3d and feel basically nothing. Sometimes I think I feel little flutters (I've probably thought that two or three times) but it's sort of right below my ribs so I think that's probably too high to be the little bean. And it happens so rarely that I basically figure it's just twitches thanks to all the changes happening in that region. I am definitely starting to expand but I get so nervous about our babe since I don't FEEL pregnant! Why do we do this to ourselves?!

    I haven't felt pregnant this whole time! I'm 17 weeks too! 1st tri was a breeze and really only had hunger pains the first 2 weeks an that went away! I officially popped a bump a couple days ago! But every time I hear that heartbeat or see the baby I remember I'm pregnant! Don't worry so much. Symptoms don't mean your pregnant! Good luck at you ultrasound!

    Usually when I forget I'm pregnant, I bounce off the couch to fast and get a swift RLP to remind me. ;-)

    I feel the same way and I can say, finding out the sex won't change your worry of not feeling pregnant!! I'm 17 weeks and everyday I talk to my baby bump and say "hello, can anyone here me?!" Then I rub my stomach trying to wake him up. Welcome to motherhood- the worry never ends. Or so I'm told.

    I feel the same way and this is my 2nd pregnancy.  I think between teaching, running after my toddler, and training for my 1/2 marathon, I haven't had as much time to reflect on the pregnancy as I did the first time around when we didn't have kids and I wasn't allowed to do cardio.  I haven't felt the baby move yet, so I know that will make a HUGE difference, plus getting to see him/her at our anatomy scan on Friday to see how much he/she has grown.

    My MS has definitely gotten better but RLP reminds me every day that I'm pregnant.

    It's been almost a week since I *thought* I felt a flutter...and nothing since.  I lay there quietly every night and try and feel something but I don't.  Im hitting the nervous/panicky button now.  Doc. appointment Friday.  I just want to know everything is ok.  Such a worrier.  :(

    The same thing happened to me. I felt her for the first time about 2 weeks ago, then nothing... Until this past sunday and I've felt her everyday since. I was definitely freaking out a little last week, wondering if she was okay. I just tried not to overthink it as much as I could and prayed that everything was okay...
