Don't 'feel' pregnant yet

Helloo everyone!

Ive just discovered this site! :)

My story (sorry to waffle :P) My husband and I got married March 2014.. we decided to stop using contraception around November. .in January we decided to properly 'try'... and we couldn't believe it when we saw the positive test.. im due 30th sept :D

im currently just over 6 weeks.. but i just dont feel pregnant yet. . I keep getting the feeling im about to come on.. and just feel moody and down all the time! Does anyone else feel like that? Is it normal? Im annoying myself! Lol as im usually a happy upbeat person.... also ive now.gone into overdrive worrying about labour/money etc...... havent had a doctor's appointment yet its on friday 13th (typical lol) so hopefully i will feel better after that.

Also im not sure when to tell anyone.. maybe its a little soon yet at 6 weeks... my dad is visiting us next weekend and as he lives 200 miles away he is only here every so often and id want to tell him in person so i might have to tell him (plus he will be suspicious if i turn down wine haha)

Ps sorry again for the essay lol!!

  • Tell your dad! I am due sept 16th and I told my family, friends, and everyone already lol. Pregnancy hormones will make ya crazy and you have 9 months to plan! So don't stress (as it's also very bad for the baby) and calm down and do things you enjoy! Don't be afraid to ask for help either! Now is the time to be pampered girl!

  • Oh man. I'm in the same boat. I've MC before and it has turned me into a total wreck this time. I'm also due Sept. 30. I've already had one ultrasound last week and everything looks good, could only see a flicker of a heartbeat (they think) so that only made me worry more!!! Trying to let go, and keep calm, but it's soooo hard. We've told our parents and a few close friends...not "Facebook official" yet,
    So to speak! Ha :smiley: but I'm just trying to throw myself it planning our wedding in a few weeks and just not think about it! Hang in there!!
  • Definitely tell your dad! We found out really early this time and told all our immediate family right away and will wait to tell everyone else until after 12 weeks or so. Like pp said just relax, enjoy being pregnant and cherish all the moments even the yucky ones!! You have plenty of time to plan and get things together so don't stress it's not good for mama or the baby!! Congratulations ad wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
  • I'm due September 30th also!!!
    Until Wednesday I felt very much the same, then the ms hit and now I feel much more pg.
    I have been disappointed by how down and moody I am. I don't remember feeling so negative with ds and I just want to be happy and excited.
    Wednesday we have our first u/s and then we plan to tell our parents so that will probably make it much more real.
  • We have only told parents and siblings so far. I would tell your dad! I'm sure he'll be happy and supportive. We decided to tell family because even if I DID end up miscarrying, I would still want them to know I was pregnant and have their support through dealing with the loss.

    I am 8 weeks and still don't really feel pregnant yet either. My only symptoms have been really sore boobs, being really hungry, and my back has been hurting a little. I think it's normal for you to feel a little down, your hormones are going crazy right now and that affects everyone differently. I haven't really had any mood swings yet, but certain things on TV make me tear up that I would have never cared about before. Good luck! :)
  • I'm due mid-september - so far we've told our parents&my sister and a few of our closest friends. It feels too early to broadcast it to the world (though I'm slowly getting impatient to be able to tell some more folks:)) but we definitely wanted to tell those dear to us cause we're so happy. Also, in case something was to go wrong with the pregnancy, I would like to have their support..
    I say go ahead and tel your dad -- especially since you won't be seeing him so often and you like to tell him in person!
    Only thing you may want to keep in mind is whether you'd mind of someone you tell early might blab it to others. We weren't too worried about that and asked for people to keep the news to themselves for a bit longer which they all understood. Except for my MIL... she did blab it to a couple more family members but we hardly see them anyway so didn't mind to much heh.
