Anyone not feel pregnant?

rinnyp · January 2015

I'm 6w2d and aside from mild nausea and sore breasts, I don't feel pregnant at all. Anyone else feel like this?

snikai · January 2015

If you have symptoms at all its a good sign, but then again I've had two babies with no real symptoms, so who knows. Are you a FTM? Sometimes I think our brains just can't absorb the news early on.

shirelle126 · January 2015

I'm 6w2d and I have nausea & cramps intermittently throughout the day. I woke up without anymore breast soreness which has me a little concerned. Yesterday I didn't feel very pregnant...but each day is different. I'm certainly tired as hell so that's a nice reminder.

@katydid2014‌ I highly doubt the intention was to make anyone else feel bad. I have days where I don't "feel" pregnant too, despite whatever symptoms I may or may not be experiencing.

As a FTM never having experienced any of this before it is hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I have a little tiny human growing inside me right now. I have wanted a child of my own since I can't remember when so on top of the completely unreal feeling of actually being pregnant I have this strange feeling like I'm only dreaming and I will wake up at any time and realize none of it happened. It does not feel REAL yet. I have seen many other posts about when it started to feel real and all I can say is that for me it still is a major adjustment both mentally and physically. Some have more symptoms than others, that doesn't make any of us more or less pregnant but adjusting to it for me has been a struggle because it is something I have wanted for so long. I am so happy that it has happened that my brain doesn't want to accept it as reality. Kind of a "to good to be true" sort of thing.

OMG why are people so freaking sensitive to basic questions? Not everything is a personal attack.

To respond to the question, I am currently 8 weeks 4 days, and a couple weeks ago my symptoms were nil. I thought I had miscarried. I had my 7 week ultrasound and saw the heartbeat. I still didn't feel pregnant even though I knew there was someone in there. I got morning sickness a few days later and then I started feeling that I was pregnant although I wake up some mornings with no nausea and wonder if it's over. I don't think I will really feel pregnant until I can feel my baby move. I am a FTM, a n00b. I feel what I feel and others feel the way they do. I can feel the changes of my uterus growing and round ligament pain. Those things also help me feel pregnant.

bethb51885 · January 2015

Symptoms definitely come and go and I have been nervous that lack of symptoms means lack of baby. I often go in and read oyhers comments like this one and it helps to not feel alone. I am super tired and have heart burn. My breasts used to hurt but that has faded a lot. I am eight weeks and two days and really looking forward to the ultrasound next week so I can see it and know he or she is there.

KellyT22 · January 2015

I'm 4w6d so I know it's still early but I haven't had a lot of symptoms yet. I have to confess - I've taken a few more pregnancy tests...it's one of the few things that makes me "feel" pregnant.

ekrubanit · January 2015

I'm 5w 4d. All of my 4w I felt every symptom in the book; chest was so sore I couldn't sleep. Now I just get some little pains in my abdomen at night and I'm kind of lethargic/blah. I was a little worried, but I've been prowling the blogs and this seems to be normal.

Happy thoughts for everyone

rinnyp · January 2015

Yeah. First time!!!

irenejean · January 2015

FTM as well, and I don't feel pregnant yet! No sore boobs, no nausea, but I am dealing with bloating. Hard to believe there really is a little one growing inside me and I'm not just bloated from big lunches

hgoodman2014 · January 2015

For the first week or two after I found out i was only bloated. So much so that it looked like I was showing! It's all hit me full force now though.

kfb1981 · January 2015

I'm 5w5d today and there are definitely days where I don't feel pregnant at all. Aside from sensitive nipples and some bloating and gas, I don't have any other symptoms.

brommerjl · January 2015

I'm 4w 4d and I can relate to wanting to "feel" more pregnant. My boobs are def sore, but not alot else. Not that I want to be nauseous... but a couple more symptoms of reassurance would be nice!

mich5504 · January 2015

Ok so thankful you posted this! I've been having the same fear! Glad to hear it's normal!

homediva · January 2015

I'm a third time mama and I still can't believe I'm pregnant!! I take pregnancy tests all the time! I have no symptoms except hunger!!

No. Symptoms or lack of symptoms have no connection at all to the health of your pregnancy. If you have no symptoms, thank your lucky stars.

heatherlee0900 · January 2015

I'm 8 weeks and so very tired... With insomnia.
My "symptoms" in a nutshell which are basically a description of my life normally.. Lol.
They may just be slightly exaggerated now ..

emililyha · January 2015

I'm a FTM, 5w6d and the only symptoms I've got are sore boobs and I'm tired more often. I frequently tell my hubs "I can't believe this is real" and every time I'm at the store I contemplate buying more pregnancy tests- even though it was confirmed at the doctor last week! Glad to hear I'm not my own special brand of crazy and that some people are with me on this!

katstaffeldt · January 2015

Im a FTM too and I felt the same way. I had zero symptoms....but I went to the Doctor today and saw our little peanut and the little flicker of a heartbeat! So do t worry yourself too much!!

orangepalmetto12 · January 2015

Sore boobs like I never thought possible! And I have to pee literally ever 20 minutes. Other than that I feel great!

actually, you are incorrect, sickness does tend to mean a healthier pregnancy. HOWEVER, it's important to note that the inverse is not true. That no sickness doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. It also doesn't mean that you won't miscarry if you are horribly sick. Really its a crapshoot, but sickness IS a strong indicator of a healthy pregnancy.

jenn19s · January 2015

I'm a FTM and am 8 weeks 1 day. Have also been concerned that something's wrong if I'm not puking my guts out. I have sore boobs, waves of nausea that come and go, insomnia and tiredness. But no puking so far... I'm probably jinxing myself as I write this

I already went for an ultrasound at 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat. Have another ultrasound this week. Fingers crossed!

ardmj80 · January 2015

I'm 5w4d, and get nauseous every once in a while and keep waiting for the sore boobs. I feel like I want the symptoms... I have seen losses, and clearly know what can happen. Just freaked.

colzey · January 2015

I don't feel pregnant at all. I've been having some bleeding and cramping, just waiting to hear back from the doctors to see if its a miscarriage.

tootiifruitiix3 · January 2015

I'm 6w today and I'm also just feeling extremely sore boobs and slight nausea.

That was an unnecessary comment.

BrandyMG38 · January 2015

I'm 7w2d. Some sore boobs and intermittent cramping. Oh, and fatigue. I have no nausea, no vomiting, no cravings, no mood swings. I'm 38 and a FTM so I'm always psyching myself out that something is wrong or I'm not pregnant... First ultrasound in about 5 weeks. Not that I want to be sick, but I feel like more symptoms would make me feel "more pregnant" or something

ClaireCecilia · January 2015

7 weeks and usually by now I feel crappy. I have moments here and there I feel yucky, but nothing like usual. I'm breaking out more than I usually do. I have it in my head my first appointment won't be good because of it. This pg is the opposite of my others. Trying to keep my mind off it till Monday.

becjbj · January 2015

I was going to do the same take another home test to be sure the bloods and my first home test are still right LOL so glad you said that as I thought I might be mad!
I'm mainly exhausted, sore boobs and aching legs...so when I think I'm not feeling pregnant because I'm not
Getting morning sickness I list off what I did have and think "why do I need more symptoms" lol but id like more, just to feel like "yes I'm pregnant". Seems weird...:-)

Kiek · January 2015

My first pregnancy I was so sick, I ended up losing almost 10lbs my first trimester even though I looked bigger. Everyone told me that meant I was having a healthy pregnancy. This time around I feel really good. I just have slightly sore boobs and I have a much bigger appetite. It does make me nervous in the back of my mind about this pregnancy. I know it's all in my head so I'm just trying to be thankful for no sickness this time around.

K1A · January 2015

Yes I do I am 5 weeks 1 day and apart from light cramping fatigue and nausea sometimes I don't feel prego at all.

Personally, I think that's a load of crap. Researchers can make their data assert or look a certain way very easily. I was extremely sick with my first and miscarried right at the end of the first tri. I was miserable the whole first tri. This time it's been much milder and things seem to be going fine so far. I think saying things like that simply leads people to be scared and worried for no reason.

Every pregnancy is different.

mishons26 · January 2015

If someone is extremely sick then everyone says "oh being sick means it's healthy." When someone isn't sick everyone says "oh you're lucky." Is it just me or does it just go with whoever the situation is about? Everyone is different. Every pregnancy is different. Stressing symptoms isn't helping. Be happy in the moment. You'll either be sick or you won't, don't let it bother you so much.

heatherlee0900 · January 2015

Symptoms or not is it normal this early to not feel connected? I just simply don't feel like I'm going to have a baby! After seeing the heart beat and everything I'm just having a really hard time believing it!

veronica121679 · January 2015

I never heard anything about being sick makes a healthier pregnancy! Oh and rain is good luck on your wedding day too right? Um....seems like old wives tales to make people feel better. With my daughter I had severe nausea until month 4. Never threw up just could barely eat and lost 16 lbs. Can't see how that's "healthy." It was hell and finally at month 4 it vanished and I felt great for the rest of the pregnancy aside from normal pains, backaches and such. My daughter was absolutely perfect., now she's 5 and with this pregnancy so far (though it's early) I'm only 6 weeks but aside from mild cramps, and little bouts of nausea I'm okay. I do get severely hungry which I never got this early with my daughter! Every woman and every pregnancy is different!!!!

brewer919 · January 2015

I haven't thrown up yet, but my puppy pooped in the floor in front of me this morning and I was literally dry heaving through my hands, screaming for my DH to come and clean it up. haha! Boobs are only a little sore...but bloated like crazy (already in maternity pants at 8w5d), peeing all night long, and sleepy ALL DAY. Even though I feel this way and I've seen a heartbeat, it is STILL hard to believe it is real and that I'm actually going to stay pregnant for 7 more months. It is hard to explain, but reading your all's posts make me feel better!

emmajane2105 · January 2015

I have slight cramping and the fatigue. I do pee more now. But other than that nothing. I feel so unpregnant and it just worries me all the time that it's not there ! X

DivineVeil · January 2015

I'm with @heatherlee0900‌. This is my first pregnancy and i definitely have physical symptoms but I am missing the emotional connection. I'm 7w6d right now and we saw the heartbeat at 6w. I know it's real and I really wanted to get pregnant, but the connection is missing. My SO is over the moon right now. I hope after feeling the baby moving this changes.

LAC8488 · January 2015

It's funny that you mentioned this because I was thinking the same thing last night! I am really anxious for my first ultrasound and worried about miscarriage. I have never had one myself, but several of my friends and family members have, so it's makes me nervous. I haven't felt sick at all or any exhaustion, just my boobs feeling fuller and a little tender. I HAVE felt very mild cramps, bloated/gassy and possibly had a few sensitivities to smell/taste... although that could also be my brain playing tricks on me haha. It's good to know that just because we don't all experience the same symptoms, it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the baby. I definitely don't mind the absence of the nausea and exhaustion, that's for sure!

jyoga87 · January 2015

I'm feeling in denial that I am pregnant. It feels really surreal as a FTM. Experiencing fatigue and nausea but nothing too intense that impacts my daily functioning. I'm hoping the ultrasound will make it feel more real

palbeauty06 · January 2015

I also felt this way a few days ago! I was like, I think I'm going to have an easy pregnancy! Then literally, the day I was 7weeks, it hit. I'm nauseous all day, drinking water is a chore, I can't sleep but I'm exhausted, I'm so agitated, my boobs are so painful it hurts to breathe, and I'm miserable all day... Enjoy it while it lasts!! Because the symptoms hit me head on and I was not ready for all this. Did I forget to mention the bloat and gas pains???
